Steel steam and flame

Not receiving an answer, Perkinz had long been used to it on the way here, knowing that Hilary Lee didn't say anything against it, which meant that she heard what she was saying.

The two of them did not make any repairs or stops, and the fatigue of the journey did not reach the limit of what they could endure. And from shortly after entering the southern forest until now, all the journeys during the period were taken by the giant brown bear, and almost no physical strength or energy was used to do anything.

The speed was not very fast, it was more like they were taking a walk in a dark forest without any sight. But in the eyes of the two of them, there was always a different scene——

The surroundings were not completely dark, but shrouded in smoke-like light blue fluorescence. Hazy and blurry, similar to the thin mist in the morning, providing sufficient light source for low-light vision. There are no longer large piles of dead leaves on the ground, and the ancient trees are no longer wooden walls covered with cracked bark. They are the source of light blue fluorescent fog, like boiling water, emitting fog fluorescence all the time.

The closer the ancient tree is to the ground, the stronger the light blue light becomes. At the base of the tree, it can already become a huge dim lamp in the field of vision.

At the same time, these mist fluorescences are faster and more regular than the tides. They are a kind of breathing like the rhythm of life, rippling back and forth in this dead area with only ancient trees, indicating that something is sleeping quietly and steadily here. .

Occasionally, Hillary, who has enhanced perception, will see a spherical light group appearing in the distance surrounded by foggy fluorescence, or at the edge of the line of sight. After stopping for a few breaths, it disappears and disappears. . These light groups almost perfectly grasped the limits of Hillary's perception range, never giving her a chance to observe more clearly.

"It's a bit frequent." Hilarelli said to Perkinz as if expressing her dissatisfaction, "Before the incident in the southern forest, I went deep into the forest to prepare various matters. I stayed there for several months and only captured one person. The traces of the World Tree patrol core. Just capturing the traces, this is the key point. Here, we have only walked for more than half an hour, and we saw the main body approaching the four patrol cores."

"Because this place is very important, it is completely expected to have such protection and inspection measures." Perkins answered casually, also telling Hillary not to overthink such a small situation, "If you have any concerns about the inspection core If you are interested, we will definitely have the opportunity to observe it up close when we arrive at our destination.”

"I don't care." Hilary said, and then talked about another phenomenon, "You are the cause of the breathing rhythm, right? It's all your fault that this area has become like this? It's almost a dead zone, and there are no bugs. One, it also spreads out a far stronger induction force field than other areas deep in the southern forest. I think this force field that lasts for a very long time is the reason for the formation of the dead zone."

As she spoke, she shook her head and glanced around: "If this is not an area deep in the forest, where the roots of the ancient trees are connected to the main trunk of the ancient historical world tree, and the distance is much closer than the outside. Then even the trees should not appear here, It will just become a dry and cracked land over a long period of time. Even a small desertification area is very likely to happen."

"The current condition of your body looks much better than what you described." She expressed her conclusion, but it was more like a question, "You definitely lied about some things. .Especially the various details about myself.”

Pekinz was helpless and sighed: "If I lied to you, do you think I would take the initiative to take you here? Without me or the new World Tree to lead the way, do you think that in addition to people of the Knight King class, there are also Who can take the initiative to discover this area and come here? You can think of the nature of this place as similar to the Kingdom of Mist in the center of the southern forest, but there is no doubt that the quality here is a bit higher."

"The frequent inspection cores are the best evidence. Because as I said just now, this place is very important. Without a specific means of access, this place will only be more dangerous than the Kingdom of Fog, and the means of access, except for other knight king classes, can be blunt Outside of breaking in, only me and the will of the New World Tree are in control at the moment.”

"However, I admit that some of the previous descriptions were exaggerated, but that is all for the good of you and Cassia. This way you will have motivation and not keep thinking about relying on me to do everything."

"Then you've completely overthought it." Hilary's answer made Perkins smile silently. The silence fell for a while, but was still broken by Hilary Riley.

"Is your body already in the recovery stage?" She was very concerned and interested in the rhythm of the mist fluorescence, so she asked, "It seems that recovery will not be a quick process and will take a long time. More than two years have passed. Yes, it’s still going on.”

Perkinz let out a breath at this time, as if helpless, but also as if he was simply sighing: "This is the price of leaving the huge system of the Theocracy. If I hadn't met you and found Cassia, all I could rely on was to receive support everywhere. The New World Tree Will restricted by Black Dragon Monikoloa. Now you have noticed that there are not many places where the New World Tree Will can help me, so I can only rely on time to slowly stack up and finally get the desired effect. "

"In the Theocratic State and the Natural Society, there is a standard and feasible process for awakening and recovery. The two superpowers hold a lot of resources in their hands. For this kind of thing, you only need to follow the process step by step to get the standard answer. But in It doesn't work for me here. Now that the third general has left the extreme sea vortex ahead of schedule, that standard answer can be improved, become faster, and more perfect. As for what it will look like in the end, I can only hope that it won't be much better. "

"The pressure is now on our side." He finally said with some self-deprecation, "I, together with the Empire's Elinor, are facing nearly thirty knight-kings in total from the Theocracy and the Nature Association. The pressure is actually Always on our side.”

Hillary only regarded these words as Perkinz's complaints, and said her own words: "You seem to be in good condition. How much better than those who have awakened in the Theocracy? It is definitely not your choice to regenerate the will of the world tree. It’s as simple as it being willing to cooperate with you. The giant whale group in the Endless Sea must also be one of the options.”

Seeing that his words had no effect, Perkinz's tone returned to normal: "It's almost infinitely close to the me before, and the gap is very small. But the people of the Theocracy, with the help of the third general, have become unknown. But it is not expected to be full. State, cheating time will always pay a price, this is a fact that even the third general cannot get around."
