Chapter 522: In the Distance
When you stare into the abyss, maybe the abyss will suddenly raise its hand to say hello to you and invite you to have afternoon tea together.
The majestic giant tree shrouded in hazy light floated silently in the dark void, its canopy was vast, the scorching sun, the bright moon, and the brilliant stars were scattered in between, bringing day and night to all the worlds carried on its leaves, and the trunk of the tree, perhaps tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter, shimmered with ancient runes with a mysterious aura, and a magical aura that seemed to spread into the depths of the void.
Its root system, which was no less impressive than the canopy, spread across the vast void, half-hidden and half-visible. Each ring crisscrossed with large, mountain-like pale gold translucent chains that pierced through scales, flesh, and bones that were far stronger than gold and iron, locking the dragon of despair like a sleeping mountain to its roots.
The dense thick roots of the tree clinged to the pitch-black scale armor, and the occasional white bone in between, and the dried venom and the residue of snakes and insects solidified into a thick scorched earth, which made the appearance of this originally fierce beast a little rounder.
The Tree of the World, Eugudo Lahir, the foundation of the existence of the Nine Kingdoms. Its brilliance illuminates the surrounding void, bringing light and protection to thousands of vassal worlds.
......
Asgard, an ordinary town.
Straight and straight pine trees lined the streets like sentinels, guarding the equally neat houses behind them. These red pines planted by the druids were endowed with a simple mind, which can be called the prototype of a true treeman.
In the market west of town, a bustling crowd is watching a four-winged and two-legged gray dragon. It has a pair of falcon-like wings, and its gorgeous dark brown feathers flicker with magical brilliance from time to time, which means that it is an even rarer magical beast in addition to being a rare wyvern.
Its other pair of wings is an ugly structure similar to a bat's wing, which contrasts with the beauty of the wings. The thick blood vessels were entangled under the membrane into several non-standard but equally effective runes that gave the wyvern the ability to fly at high speeds and summon poisonous winds.
“...... I think it's going to sell for a good price. The young man wrapped in gorgeous fur laughed and patted the shoulder of the sturdy hunter in front of him, "It's been a long time since I've seen such an intact Wyvern, if you want, I can buy it for fifteen hundred big gold coins!"
There was a sudden low exclamation and exclamation from the surrounding crowd, even in the relatively wealthy Mangrove Town, the families who could come up with a hundred big gold coins were only a few hands, let alone fifteen hundred big gold coins, which was simply a huge amount of money that these townspeople could not necessarily touch in their lifetime.
Delru's face flushed, he never dreamed that this ghost wyvern would sell for such a staggering price. With this money, he can no longer risk his life to go into the snow to hunt. I knew that the registration fee for the Heroic Warrior Preparatory Academy was only five hundred gold coins!
After only a moment of hesitation, the lucky hunter made a decision, "Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, honorable lord, it's yours." ”
The satin pouch, decorated with fine embroidery, made a curve and smashed into his hand, "This is your due, my friend." ”
This is the smallest portable space bag, capable of holding items with a volume of no more than 0.5 cubic meters and a weight of no more than 300 kilograms, limited to dead objects. It's just such an inconspicuous space bag, and the price on the market is as high as one hundred and seventy gold coins.
The young man beckoned, and the black-clothed guards who had been waiting on the side immediately surrounded him, carried the body of the dragon, and walked to the big truck not far away.
He pulled out the communicator, which had been set to vibrate mode, and a familiar avatar was shaking desperately.
"Hey, my brother, don't you sense that something seems to be wrong with one of our coaxes?" the bearded middle-aged man slumped down on the beach chair with a decadent look on his face, and poured another sip of clear liquor, "I think it must be those two unlucky guys we lost in the distant void, my God, it's hard to accept to think about." ”
"My dear brother," said the young man, with a straight face, "in any case, this is not a reason for you to be lazy during your working hours, please remember that your father has entrusted us with the rule of the kingdom on this timeline, please be sure to shoulder your duties!"
"Come on, Loki, my dear brother, this is just an insignificant excuse, our duty is to protect the Nine Kingdoms, not to really manage it, that would involve too much energy, and. Pointless. ”
Hammering his sledgehammer twice on his chest, Thor groaned boredly: "Even if it's just one, it's just boring that there are no beautiful girls playing freely in this beautiful landscape!"
The figure of the young man turned from virtual to real, appeared beside him, reached out and grabbed the meow hammer that was painted an embarrassing pink, and with a powerful swing, the middle-aged salary thief turned into a small star in the sky.
"To be honest, sometimes I feel like it's really a huge mistake for my father to entrust the kingdom to you. ”
"Come on, Loki," the middle-aged muscular man slammed into the sand, creating a huge crater tens of meters in diameter.
"We all know that this is just one of the old man's dark and terrible plans, and you don't have to take it so seriously, because strictly speaking, it's just a game. ”
Taking a deep breath, Loki casually thrust his cane into the sand, "Don't you understand, I mean, more than one of our isotopes is abnormal, damn it, it's a matter of our own integrity and unity!"
"And then?" Tholl said nonchalantly, "What can we do? Even the nearest Void Realm here will take ten years to sail through the Void, don't you think that just the two of us can cross the Void and carry out this impossible rescue?" he muttered in a low voice, "Besides, who knows if this is another plan of the old man?"
"Okay," stiffened for a few seconds, and Loki lowered his head and looked at his palm, "You're right, I'll ask my father myself a little later." ”
"I must warn you, my brother," Thor's tone suddenly became serious, "in any case, don't anger that old man, remember, he's not just our father!"
