"You are wrong, I don't know how many humans used such an excuse to resist the mercenary back then, but thirty years later, under their protection, the human race has become more and more prosperous, the population is increasing, and fewer and fewer people have died in the mouth of the monster, if we hadn't accepted them then, would we have you and me today?"

"What Lord Wei is saying is that my old man acknowledges the merits of the meritorious, but don't forget, how many years we have dealt with them before we admit them. But this spirit clan, who has seen it, who knows their style of acting, who knows if they will have other plans, my old man has a few years to live, but I can't gamble on the future of my children and grandchildren with just a few of our old things. ”

"Elder Liu, you forgot about Mu Chen and the Great Patriarch, this matter they promoted, naturally let them vouch for it, we can agree with the nobles of Lingzhou to sign an agreement with the Spirit Clan, and let Mu Chen and them supervise. ”

"Let Mu Chen supervise, is he the immortal who can stay, what if he leaves?"

Wei Gonglu was stopped by this sentence, he knew in his heart that Mu Chen would definitely not stay in Baoling Prefecture, so in the face of Liu Yixian's questioning, he didn't know how to answer.

"Master Wei, you know that Mu Chen will not stay here, and you know that there is no better candidate besides him, so don't deceive yourself. ”

"Elder Liu, do you think this will work, give the Spirit Clan half a year, until next year's Warcraft Tide, you will supervise it for half a year, as long as you feel that they have different intentions, we will expel them at any time. This will not ruin your reputation, but also give the Spirit Clan a chance to kill two birds with one stone. In the face of the tough Liu Yixian, Wei Gonglu had no choice but to put forward this nondescript suggestion.

"What happens after half a year, your method is simply a symptom but not a root cause, and it will not have any effect. ”

"I'm doing this for the sake of Bao Ling State, are you willing to bear the name of ingratitude and go to the ground, or are you willing to bear the countless casualties under the tide, you keep saying that it is all for Bao Ling State, but you are enemies with two pioneers who are famous all over the world and have never failed to human beings, just because of your stubbornness and prejudice, you have ruined the future of your future generations. Wei Gonglu finally broke out, he tried his best to persuade Liu Yixian, but he never succeeded, and in the end he could only speak ill of him.

"Lord Wei, you're serious, my old man can't be judged by anyone, since the words are not speculative, then... Drop-off. ”

A cadre of attendants sent Wei Gonglu away from the Hongshou Hotel, and the two talked for nearly two hours, but there was no progress, but it strengthened Liu Yixian's determination to resist the Spirit Clan, in the face of such a result, Wei Gonglu raised his head and sighed, not knowing how to explain to Mu Chen when he went back.

In the Wei Mansion, Mu Chen and Qi Luna were still waiting for Wei Gonglu's good news, especially Mu Chen, when he saw Wei Gonglu's confident appearance when he went out, he thought that he could definitely get Liu Yixian's approval, but he didn't expect that Wei Gonglu brought bad news.

"Mu Chen, I tried my best, but I couldn't help you..."

"I believe you, no more talk. ”

Wei Gonglu wanted to explain a few more words, but when he saw Mu Chen's expression, he returned to the room lonely.

The night gradually receded, the sky had revealed a glimmer of light, after a busy night, nothing changed in the end, the companions who fought side by side chose to betray, and the unexpected turn did not come in handy, the long-lost human intrigue still gave Mu Chen a heavy blow, making him look slightly tired and helpless.

When the sun was fully rising, everyone got up, and Mu Chen called the sisters to his side for breakfast.

"Jiayue, are you sure you're okay?"

"It's okay, are you going directly to Erniu's cemetery in a while?" Jia Yue regained some of her spirits, and her face was bloody.

"After eating, go to the Tree of Life first, and Dark Orange may be resurrected today. Erniu's graveyard will be passed later. ”

"Okay, then I'll go with you, Mocheng is willing to use her life to avenge me and Erniu, we can't let her return to the world alone. ”

"Well, let's go to the Tree of Life to check the situation first, and then go to see Erniu, and when we come back, we will make peace with the Spirit Clan and enter the city together. ”

"Mu Chen, what do you want to do with those villagers who rob the tomb?"

Chunyue's question just reminded Mu Chen, he almost forgot about these people, Wei Gonglu hadn't slept all night last night, and he hadn't gotten up yet, so he hadn't learned about the villagers' situation yet.

"I'll ask Wei Gonglu later, you guys can prepare after eating, and then set off. ”

After arranging these, Mu Chen left the table to find Wei Gonglu, he just wanted to knock on the door, Wei Gonglu came out, the old man was pale and listless, and after seeing Mu Chen, he asked: "The villagers of Qiming Village have investigated clearly, are they arrested now?"

"Catch, only these people can use it. You arranged for someone to take me to the Tree of Life, and we were going to see the Dark Orange. ”

"The old man will accompany you and wait for me to wash and change clothes. ”

"No need, you take them directly to the council after you arrest them, don't let others do anything, go to the south gate to pick me up at noon, and I will enter the city with the spirit clan." ”

Everything was explained properly, the two acted separately, and Wei Gonglu also specially woke up Wei Rou and asked her to go with Mu Chen to greet Mo Cheng.

Out of the Wei Mansion, the group took Wei Gonglu's car to the council house, the tree of life is located behind the council, surrounded by a wall, guarded by a special person, usually no one is allowed to approach.

Early humans regarded the Tree of Life as the Tree of Origin, and at that time they were scattered all over the continent, living separately in clans or families, until they found that there had never been a magical beast around the Tree of Life, and then they began to gradually migrate to it and live in clusters.

Living in groups made humans safer and more capable of large-scale production and hunting, so villages and towns were gradually formed near the tree of life, and villages and towns slowly united into towns until the appearance of the first city, Infinity City, and humans elected the first emperor, and from then on, they began to fight against demonic beasts in an organized and large-scale manner, and spread the imperial power to every part of the continent.

But one hundred and twenty years ago, since Mu Chen was born by the Tree of Life as the first employee, it gradually lost its status as a sacred tree in the hearts of human beings, and they witnessed that the original so-called Tree of Origin gave birth to alien races, and this conceptual impact made many people change their minds, and the strong city gradually replaced the position of the Tree of Life in protecting the safety of human beings, so it was gradually forgotten and no longer important.

Thirty years ago, after Mu Chen returned to Infinity City, he brought the Tree of Life back into the eyes of mankind. At that time, the status of the restructured Employer Management Association was followed, and the corresponding Employers were more valued by humans, and the Tree of Life became a true Tree of Origin, with each state and city under the care of the Association, and the infrastructure was established for the use of the reborn Employers, as well as the registration of information to help them reintegrate into human society.

Wei Gonglu's car drove smoothly to the courtyard gate of the Tree of Life, and the group got out of the car one by one, and the guards at the gate hurriedly stepped forward after seeing the patriarch and the young city lord's wife, and after a few simple questions, they let them go.

The wall of the courtyard was newly repaired, and when Mu Chen was there, although the trees of life in each city were also guarded by special personnel, there were no cards or walls, and they were open to everyone, and only when the hired person was reborn, it was only slightly restricted, and it was not allowed to visit, not as strictly guarded as it is now.

As soon as a few people entered, a large tree that still shone in the bright sunlight came into view, it was not high, about ten meters high, but the trunk was thick, and it took two or three people to embrace. The canopy of the tree is lush and impermeable, and the meridians of the trunk and the texture of the leaves always flash with a faint light, like human breath, proving their own life.

The most interesting thing is that the huge cocoon-shaped fruit on the branches, the color is transparent, you can see the liquid inside and the bubbles flowing from time to time, and the whole fruit is the same as the trunk and leaves, maintaining a uniform frequency of light.

"Mu Chen, this... This..."Chunyue grabbed Mu Chen's arm, already speechless in surprise.

Jiayue beside her also widened her eyes, she had visited the wasteland, but she had never seen the actual appearance of the tree of life, it was all a few words passed down from mouth to mouth in the clan, no one had ever told her the specific location and appearance, and when she saw it today, it was indeed beyond her imagination, especially whoever saw it could be sure that it was the fruit of the mercenary, she had never understood how she grew from the tree, and this time she understood.

"Here. ”

Following Kiluna's voice, they saw a huddled figure inside a fruit, and with a light like breathing, several people looked up and confirmed that it was Dark Orange.

"Mu Chen, how can she breathe in that fruit, it is full of liquid. ”

"I don't know, I'm not a living person in this state now, I guess I don't need to breathe. ”

"How long will it be before she wakes up, and how will she get out of it when she wakes up." ”

"I guess we'll have to wait, but since there is already her solid form in the fruit, it shouldn't be too long. When the time comes, the fruit will crack on its own, and then the orange will wake up. ”

"It turns out that this is how we came to the world, one, two, three, four..."Junyue asked the question, sighed, and began to count the number of fruits under the tree.

Mu Chen also took this opportunity to check on a few brick houses not far away, which were built to temporarily settle the reborn, and it turned out that people from the association worked here, registered the information of the reborn, and provided them with free meals and a temporary resting place. Now it is completely deserted, and there are even dead animal carcasses and broken bird nests in the house, and it can be seen that no one has taken care of it for a long time.

Qiluna stood under the fruit pregnant with black orange and stared, waiting motionless for her to break out of the cocoon, Wei Rou walked up to her with her clothes in her hand, and said: "Patriarch, this is for you, if the black orange wakes up in a while, you quickly put it on her." ”

The reborn hired are like newborns, naked, soaked in the liquid of the fruit, but due to the curled up body and the protection of the peel, it will not be clearly revealed, but once the cocoon is broken, the situation is different, so the association will control when there are reborn, and the house is also built to house them as soon as possible.
