Chapter 377: For the Time Being
In today's world, with the development of science and technology, human footprints have spread all over the world, and even the vast universe has not been spared.
However, in the middle of Western Europe, there is an area of ancient mystery that is still shrouded in a veil of darkness that has prevented humanity from stopping.
It is known as the oldest, most extensive and most dangerous primeval tree sea in the world today - the Euro Tree Sea. This sea of trees is deep and dense, and has a long history, and its existence is even several times longer than the entire history of mankind.
Even in the middle of a summer day, standing on the edge of the sea of trees, you can feel the coldness coming from the depths, announcing the danger that exists and warning to humans.
The Sea of Trees is located right in the heart of the largest continent, Western Europe, and is the border of six countries.
In the long history, various countries have sent scientific research teams deep into the hinterland of Jukai to explore this uncharted territory, but they have always failed.
Those who ventured deep into the sea of trees were all missing, never to be seen again. This is true even now, when the level of science is highly developed.
This kind of incident adds a mystery and fear to this sea of trees, as if nature has drawn a forbidden place, forbidding human beings to enter and leave.
Faced with this forbidden land of nature, human beings can only offer their inner awe to express their respect for the power of nature.
However, to everyone's disbelief, the headquarters of the Demon Hunter Guild has been standing in the depths of this sea of trees for thousands of years. No one knew that as early as a thousand years ago, humans had already passed through many barriers and stepped into the center of this forbidden area.
Due to the sea of trees, the huge ancient building of the guild headquarters cannot be observed by any radar or satellite, so almost no one knows the depths of the primeval sea of trees that claim to be the largest in the world. There is such a mysterious organization.
A thousand years ago, the founder of the guild chose this sea of trees as a base for a simple reason, because it was hidden and difficult for outsiders to find, and it was also difficult for demons to find.
A thousand years ago. The battle between hunters and demons was much more serious than it is today. At that time, the guild had not yet become a climate, and only a few hunters and a few humans who volunteered to help them were united against a large number of powerful demons. Therefore, concealment becomes the primary consideration when choosing a base location.
I have to say that the choice made by the founders back then was really quite wise. A thousand years have passed, and it has not been discovered by outsiders. Of course, with the development of the times. This is not just relying on the effect of the surrounding sea of trees, a variety of cutting-edge technologies are used in it as a barrier to protect the guild's security.
The solemn building has a strong medieval Baroque style, and people will always feel the pressure of antiquity and mystery when they put it in it.
A young man with an oriental face walked steadily down the wide corridor, his shoes clattering on the stone-paved floor, echoing in the empty corridor.
The man looked to be in his early thirties, with a handsome face and features like a finely carved work of art. The high bridge of his nose is covered with silver-framed myopic glasses, which makes his face look very handsome.
Judging from the well-tailored white trench coat on his body, he was a guild housekeeper. And the silver epaulettes on the shoulders also show a high status.
The man walks without squinting, with a cold expression and a steady pace, which shows the perseverance of the person's character and the clarity of his goals.
He does have a clear destination at this time.
The man walked straight to the end of the hallway, where there was a room with the door closed. Outside the door stood two straight-dressed and stern-looking staff members, who looked like guards.
Seeing the man approaching, the two guards couldn't help but straighten up, until the other party came to stand in front of them and stood on their shoulders, and the two of them bowed respectfully and said, "Minister Lan." ”
"I heard he woke up?" This man is the head of the scientific research department of the guild headquarters. Blue Twilight Clouds.
"Yes." One of the guards replied.
"Can you see a guest?" Twilight asked earnestly.
"The doctor's instructions still need to recuperate for the time being." The guard replied scrutinically.
"For the time being? How long is it? Hearing this, Lan Duyun's eyebrows moved almost indistinctly.
"This ......" The guards were a little embarrassed, they couldn't answer this question, but they couldn't afford to offend the man in front of them, so they had to hesitate and said, "I'm sorry Minister Lan, the doctor only said 'temporarily', and didn't specify the specific time." ”
Twilight raised her right hand and nudged the glasses on the bridge of her nose, glancing at the guard through the heavy lenses, then lowered her face to hide her emotions under her eyelids.
"In that case, I'll come back in two days." After saying that, Lan Duyun didn't wait for the guard to reply, turned around and raised his feet to leave.
It wasn't until the other walked away and their backs disappeared at the front of the corridor that the two guards breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them were very worried, if the man wanted to break in regardless of it, they would not be able to stop him, regardless of the force, and the two of them would not dare to forcibly stop him in terms of identity. Moreover, Minister Lan is notoriously unpredictable, and it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will not hold a grudge against the obstruction of the two of them.
But they didn't expect the other party to leave without saying anything, which was something they didn't expect.
The difficult Minister Blue has become easy to talk to? Could it be that you have changed sex?
Of course, since the other party is not looking for trouble, the two guards will not be idle to investigate the reason, and continue to stand straight and stick to their posts.
Unable to achieve her goal, Twilight was not in a good mood, and walked faster than when she came, returning to her office like a gust of wind.
However, when he reached the door, his steps froze.
Staring at the closed door, Twilight's brow furrowed, and the corners of her tightly pursed mouth twitched twice.
The pause lasted only a moment, though, and he quickly regained his expression and pushed open the office door.
Lan Duyun's office is very large, at least more than forty square meters, and the left and right walls are made into bookshelves that reach up to the roof, which are full of all kinds of books, and at first glance it looks more like a small library, with a huge desk placed in the center, and there is no extra furnishings other than that.
And this is just a place where he usually handles some literary work, and there is also a small laboratory that belongs to him personally, of course, this small is only relatively speaking, and the actual area is by no means small.
Now, in the huge office, behind the desk that should have been empty when he left, there was a man sitting here, and looking at the other person's appearance, he must have been waiting here for a while. (To be continued......)
