In the eastern part of the city, there is a shrine, which is one of the few places where ancient trees can enter. Inside the temple, huge statues stand on both sides. Their heads and necks reach the top of the temple, and their slightly drooping heads look down on them, giving a strong sense of oppression.

The entire hall has no windows, and the sunlight scattered from the doorway makes the shadows in the hall even more intense. As it deepened, the crowd gradually disappeared. Although it was unusually dim, it had little impact on Zach and the others.

They were surprised that there were no statues of any gods on the temple's throne. Faced with this situation, Zach also didn't know why. So the crowd began to talk softly, and various ideas were constantly supplemented and improved in favor and against. As the argument became heated, voices echoed through the empty temple.

The echo was not an aftermath, but was cut into countless pieces by some force in the reverberation, and then turned into an incomprehensible murmur when it was transmitted back to the ear. The whispering voice gradually became urgent, like an invisible net slowly tightening everyone.

The discussion died down, but the whispering did not dissipate. The statues in the temple also seemed to be awakened by the whispering voices, and turned their eyes on them. As the whispers intensified, there seemed to be countless unidentified things hidden in the dim temple.

When everyone hurriedly escaped from the temple and stood in the sun, they couldn't help but feel like a world away.

Leaving the temple, the group walked and stopped, but Zach stopped as they approached the tower. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he pointed to the tower and explained, "This is a forbidden place, and no outsiders are allowed to enter. ”

"Can't you go in too?"

"I can enter, but only for myself. Zach scratched his head, "He said there was danger inside, and he would automatically attack undesirable outsiders. ”

"Won't you be attacked?"

"No, he said it was a blood connection. But the top two floors, now without his company, we won't let us go up. There, there was danger that he couldn't control. ”

Someone said curiously, "What danger, do you know?"

"A key, a key snatched from a monster he couldn't beat. ”

Jenny's eyes lit up, "Is there anyone else he can't beat?"

"It's not a human, it's a giant monster. I didn't have time to ask for details, but I just knew that he ran away after snatching something. ”

"Your great wizard is not afraid that monster will chase here for revenge?"

"Don't be afraid, nothing dares to make trouble here, his strength will increase exponentially here. ”

"Exponentially?"

Zach was very sure, "Exponentially, that's what he told us personally." He said that as long as we are in this city, we will be absolutely safe, and whoever dares to provoke us will shoot to death. ”

Speaking of this, Zach was a little proud, "Even if he's not here, the city will protect us." It is alive, with the will of the Great Wizard. ”

While Zach is showing off with his friends, his fiancée, Mary and the Ancient Tree, are still wandering around, with no intention of returning. Behind them, a herd of bison followed unhurriedly.

Contrary to Mary's imagination, the ancient tree did not kill in all directions. He simply walked towards the herd, and then emanated a wave of magic from his body. Soon the buffalo took him as a safe haven and approached him.

The performance of the ancient tree inspired Mary's greed. After one last stretch of the road, and then one or two bison at the end, they went farther and farther.

It was so easy that Mary had lost her mind, and she had forgotten her original purpose. All she had in her mind was cows, more cows, and the herd had pushed Zach out of her heart.

Gu Shu just came out for a walk, and his purpose was very clear - to walk. He doesn't care about the number of cows, as long as he can wander for a while, everything he does is a smooth way for him, and it is dispensable. Therefore, some of Mary's seemingly unreasonable requests will be satisfied by him as much as possible.

Mary thinks the old tree is so cute, and the old tree thinks Mary is very good, and always finds all kinds of excuses for him to wander around.

If there are no accidents, the two of them may go all the way to the ends of the earth. Until an even taller ancient tree appeared on their way. An ancient tree with long arms, which hung down to the ground.

The moment they met, the two ancient trees were very excited, and they sped up and rushed towards each other. This ancient tree does not have exaggerated eight legs, only two small short legs to support him. Walking with long arms on the ground, like a crawling gorilla.

"My name is Exploration. The ancient tree politely introduced itself to Mary, "I'm going to go to Northland to see my long-time friend Bran." ”

Mary bowed on her horse, "My name is Mary, and I welcome you." ”

Mary woke up when she heard the exploration mention of Northland. It was then that she remembered her purpose for catching the herd, and only then did she remember the wedding that was just around the corner.

I'm so stupid! I would have run away with the ancient tree for so many days. If it was Bran, he would have reminded himself. This broken wood is not reliable at all. Mary, who came to her senses, couldn't help but feel resentment in her heart.

It's good not to mention Northland City, but once it is mentioned, even the ancient trees are a little anxious. After all these days, Bran and Flowey must be worried, right? Just like when they went out, they were worried all the time. This Mary is too unreliable, and he also complains in his heart.

Quest is anxious to see Northland, anxious to see Bran for himself. And Gushu and Mary were also in a hurry to get back to their families, so they let go of their speed and ran.

......

Bran was indeed worried, and he regretted it a few days after Gushu and Mary left. I regret putting these two unreliable guys together, and I should have found someone to take care of them at that time.

I wanted to look for them, but I thought it was also a kind of exercise, a kind of experience. In this way, in the midst of hesitation, the days passed. Later, whenever I wanted to look for them, I felt that they might be on the way back, and if they met them halfway, it would be bad, and I seemed to be too distrustful of them.

In the midst of the panic, the Ancient Tree and Mary return, and also bring back a rare guest.
