Chapter Twenty-Seven: The World Tree
"Enough, I'm here. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" A cold voice came from the second floor, and immediately a cold air blew through, blowing out the demonic fire on the boy's body.
The child survived, but his skin began to peel off and he was dying.
A hint of anger flashed across Lina-Firecrown's face, but it was cleverly suppressed. She's no match for the High Priestess, but this bitch hasn't been arrogant for a long time, and Mistress Gugallo's wrath will show her what it means to conspire with the Demon Legion.
"Mistress Gugalo wants to see you, right now." Lina Firecrown walked up to the second floor and actually bowed slightly to Lisandro, she was the only one in the entire Fallen Spirit Clan who could still enjoy dignity, although only on the surface.
The reason is very simple, Lisandra is the number one powerhouse of Sumar Star, a great galaxy-level psionics.
Lisandro glanced up at Lina, "Why?" ”
If anyone else dared to ask this, then he was already dead, and no one could save him, but Lisandro could, because she was a woman qualified to negotiate with Gugalo.
Lina Firecrown glanced downstairs, where the nobles didn't seem to care about the second floor, and everyone was back to their previous appearance, but if you looked closely, everyone's eyes were peeking at this side. The fire warlock smiled a little ambiguously, "Because your dear sister, Your Excellency the High Priest, do you really want me to explain it to you here?" ”
The atmosphere of the entire ballroom seemed to have changed subtly, although nothing had changed on the surface.
Lisandro was silent for a second, then stood up and motioned for the Ada Demon to lead the way.
"Lord Gugalo is waiting for you in the Palace of Night, I'm just here to deliver the news." Lina Firecrown spread her hands, "I think this banquet is good, I'm going to stay here." ”
Lisandro glanced at the Ida Demon, and then vanished in an instant.
For the Great Galaxy-level powerhouse, the concept of space and ordinary psionic warriors are two completely different existences.
"Wow, that nasty old virgin is finally gone." Lina-Firecrown suddenly opened her arms and walked down the stairs with an almost pompous stride. "The night is so beautiful, let's be happier~"
"Welcome along, Lord Lina-Firecrown, your presence adds to the feast." A male aristocrat bowed deeply and smiled indescribably.
"Oh ha...... Is it just a plus? Lina Firecrown laughed.
"No, no, no, you are the brightest star of this banquet, and the banquet is brightened by your presence." The aristocracy worked harder to curry favor.
……
In the deepest part of the Courtyard of the Stars, there is a magnificent palace called the Palace of Night.
The Palace of Night is the tallest building in Nightstar City and the grandest building on Sumar, and it is still a landmark used by the fallen civilization to prove its achievements. The Well of Night has been a haven from the world for generations, providing the Fallen Spirits with spiritual energy to live on, and the Night Palace was built around it. But now, a storm of evil has surged out of what had once been a temple, and Gugallo has turned the palace into his abode,
It is no longer the end of all troubles, but the source of all evils.
When Lisandro walked in, Gugallo was sitting on the throne of the highest. The Supreme Throne is inlaid with the most brilliant star stones, and in addition to being a symbol of power, it is also a perfect work of art in its own right.
The previous owner of this chair was none other than the High Priestess of the Fallen Spirits, Lisandro Starlight.
Unlike many Ida Demons' well-balanced build, Gugalo has extremely developed muscles, but at 3 meters tall, he can only be considered a small man among Ida Demons, his skin is dark red, his eyes look fierce and cunning, and when he stands in front of you, you will feel a strong sense of oppression.
"Honorable Lord Gugaro, what are you looking for me?" Facing the supreme leader of the Demon Legion in Sumar, Lisandro must show enough respect.
"We had an agreement before." As soon as Gugallo spoke, his voice seemed to echo throughout the palace, "I spare the lives of the Fallen Spirits, but you have to make sure they don't rebel against the Legion." ”
"Yes, Your Excellency Gugallo." Lisandro replied calmly.
"But you didn't make sure the agreement was enforced!" Gugalo didn't roar, but the whole palace seemed to tremble, "Just outside the city, in the forest, your sister not only killed my three battle priests, but also contacted a Federation person!" ”
"Lisandro! I hate that someone isn't being honest enough, and if you can't guarantee our previous agreement, I'll offer you a new one, and I'm sure you won't like it. ”
When she heard that her sister had contacted the Federation, Lisandro's body trembled slightly, as if there was some turmoil in her heart, but she did a good job of hiding her fear of Gugalo.
"Your Excellency Gugallo, I will ensure that the agreement between us is in place, and anyone who tries to break it is my enemy." Lisandro said resolutely.
Gugallo stared into her eyes, "I wonder how you guys treat the enemy?" ”
"Beat him, then kill him." Lisandro Road.
"Very well, I'll give you a week." "In a week's time, I'm going to see Talisa-Starlight's body in front of me. ”
"I'll keep our agreement." Lisandro nodded in acknowledgment, then stepped back.
After Lisandro left the Palace of Night, Gugalo suddenly said, "You go and keep an eye on her, and if you spot Talisa, make sure to send her on her way." ”
"As you wish." A tall, slashed fallen spirit slowly emerged from the shadows, and strode out of the Palace of Night. It was Meduccius, the Speaker of the Supreme Council of the Fallen Spirits.
……
In one night, Zhuo Li carefully inspected the 500-kilometer radius around the secret hall, and when he returned, he almost got lost.
As a stardust-level psionic martial artist, there was such a situation as getting lost, and Zhuo Li had to admit that the location of the secret hall was indeed extremely hidden.
As for road idiots? Zhuoli will never admit it.
However, this is not the most important thing, in a wasteland more than three hundred kilometers away from the secret temple, Zhuo Li came across a small village of the fallen spirit clan.
It is an all-civilian village, with a population of about 50 people, judging by the number of houses. But it seems that it has been abandoned for a long time, only a few villagers wander around the village without reluctance, and the whole village exudes a desolate and strange atmosphere, which makes Zhuo Li feel very uncomfortable.
A hungry furious bear burst into Zhuoli's line of sight and headed straight for several of the villagers. The berserk bear was bigger than any bear Zhuoli had ever seen before, and it was driven by hunger to sprint at full speed, making the earth shake like a mountain.
Those villagers were also aware of the existence of the Berserk Bear, and the Fallen Spirit Clan could naturally feel the existence of spiritual energy, because every adult had at least legion-level strength, and in the face of a beast like the Berserk Bear, as long as a few people joined forces, they should be able to drive it away.
However, to Zhuo Li's surprise, the three villagers turned their heads to look at the Berserk Bear, there was not the slightest emotional fluctuation in their eyes, and they let out a meaningless roar in their throats, and they actually rushed towards the Berserk Bear one after another.
The three villagers instantly fought with the Berserk Bear, fighting completely by instinct like four wild beasts, no, the three villagers were even more furious than the Berserk Bear, and seemed to have no idea what to defend and dodge, and even if the huge bear paw slapped on their body, they would tear off a piece of flesh from each other.
In the end, it turned out that the berserk bear gave up its predation and chose to retreat. Shortly after the furious bear left, one of the villagers died of blood loss. The other two villagers continued to wander around the village aimlessly, as if they had not seen it at all.
They have become the Dead.
This situation made Zhuo Li feel related to him, and he understood that becoming a withered soul was a more tragic end than death for the fallen spirits.
"Ah Duo, can these withered souls still be saved?"
"Yes. All you need to do is reopen the Well of Night and forge the Net. ”
Ah Duo's answer made Zhuo Li overjoyed at first, and then deeply troubled. "There's no other way?"
"Then there are those psionic crystal fragments, but they can't save many people, and it's not a long-term solution." Aduo said frankly.
Although these people didn't know each other, seeing these intelligent beings being turned into walking corpses alive, Zhuo Li's heart was still clouded with a layer of haze.
Back in the secret hall, Talisa had awakened from her retreat, and her originally weak body seemed to have regained some of her strength.
"I think you've already met the blighters roaming the wilderness." Talisa's first words were somewhat unexpected.
"Not bad." Zhuo Li nodded a little heavily, "That's really a kind of ...... that no one can bear Torture. ”
"I can understand some of my sister's approaches, but her decision was wrong." Talisa suddenly became angry, and then said to Zori, "I have a plan that will not only save all the blighters, but also be of great help in defeating the Demon Legion. ”
"Oh? Doesn't it mean that there is nothing to be done unless the Well of the Night is reopened? Zhuoli didn't expect Talisa to have a new way so soon.
"I remember, according to the records in the ancient books of my clan, thousands of years ago, someone discovered that on the star of Sumar, in addition to the Well of the Night, there was also a being that could reforge the spirit web. It is only according to the teachings of the Supreme Council that this existence tarnishes the supremacy of the Well of the Night, because it is completely abandoned. Now, we must find it and let it reforge the web for us. ”
“…… After talking for a long time, what exactly is this existence? Zhuo Li couldn't help but interrupt.
"It's a tree." Tarissa said, "The World Tree." ”
Zhuo Li was shocked, he was no stranger to the World Tree, when Zhiyuan Star defeated the Wisteria, he had absorbed the World Tree Soul, which greatly improved the toughness of his divine sense, it can be said that Zhuo Li can have today's strength, and the World Tree Soul is very important.
Unexpectedly, Talisa's so-called existence is actually the World Tree.
