What appeared in front of the three of them was a towering giant tree that could not be glimpsed in its entirety. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The trunk is so thick that it exceeds the maximum horizon that the human eye can capture.

It reached to the sky, and the canopy of the trees covered the entire barrier like heavy clouds.

The three of them looked around, not knowing what the scope of this barrier was, how long and wide it was.

Their first impression of the tree was probably the same as what Edge Long Night thought when he first saw Gear City.

However, it is such a majestic giant tree, but for some reason it is beginning to decay from half of its body.

A flowing black unidentified substance is eating away at all of the tree.

Under the gaze of the three of them, several branches fell one after another.

The branches of the tree turned black all over, and they turned into powder in an instant when they touched the ground.

The ominous black color continued to spread throughout the tree, and although the progress was slow, the degree of corrosion was still visible to the naked eye due to the large size of the tree itself.

"These black things are the reason for our victory in the war?" Qiu Shuangyue didn't know what to say for a while.

"Wait a minute." The Misty Believer pulls out a dagger from his backpack.

It was his spare dagger, and he took out a white cloth and wrapped it.

"Go!" He threw the dagger out with a thrust, aiming for the corroded area.

The outer white cloth vanished in mid-air before it could arrive, and the dagger swarmed and wrapped in the moment it touched the black substance.

Then it was calm again.

"There's no doubt about the corrosiveness of this thing, and in that case, this tree is really strong and reliable." The Misty Believer observed it and came to a conclusion.

"Our country has applied such something to the battlefield? What the hell is this? ”

"The plague."

A familiar and old voice sounded behind them.

"Mayor Mare?" Qiu Shuangyue turned her head in surprise and saw the old man who had just spoken.

"The townsfolk are not at ease, I thought about it, and I followed you in." Mayor Mare's smiled.

He lifted the cane in his hand and pointed to the large black patch.

"This is the plague itself, and it is also the main weapon used by your country to invade." He sighed, "It is precisely because of this filthy and evil thing that we surrender under the leadership of the Royal Archmage Rin Slet. ”

"If we really want to resist a foreign enemy and go to war with your army, our country will not necessarily lose, I have always been convinced of this." Mayor Mare's tone was firm.

"But in the face of the plague, there is nothing we can do, there is no solution." Mayor Mare shook his head.

"As you have seen along the way, our country is a forest country that lives in symbiosis with nature, and without trees, we would not be able to continue." The mayor's gaze rested on the giant tree again.

"And the plague can not only transform us humans and elves into rotting corpses, but also make our land barren and our trees decay."

"As a result, every point of advance of your army permanently reduces our land, not to mention that we will not be able to deal with the remaining plagues, because they will corrupt everything that comes into contact with them."

"Under such a threat, we can only surrender and give the country away." Mayor Mare sighed again.

"I take the liberty of asking." The Misty Believer stared at the mayor, "How much land has this plague eaten away at your country, and where did it come from?" ”

"One in five." Mayor Marew shook his head, as if he was a little reluctant to accept the answer, but he had to say it.

"As for how it came to be, I think you should ask your country, your rulers, and your army, what kind of twisted minds can make them do such a thing." The mayor's mood fluctuated.

"Look." The mayor pointed to the tree, and then to the surrounding barrier.

"Let me correct what you just said, this tree is indeed strong, but it is still not worth mentioning in the face of the plague, and you are now seeing its slow progress in corrosion, solely because of this barrier."

The three of them looked around, and noticed that the outside of the barrier was chaotic, and there were many tiny flocculents floating inside.

"This barrier is not part of the space we live in, it is located in a special closed plane, in this barrier, the rate of decay of living things will become one thousandth of the outside, so this tree can be temporarily preserved."

"What the hell is this tree?" Qiu Shuangyue asked.

"It is the foundation of our country, and it is also the soul of this land at the foot of our Manyo country." Mayor looked up at the giant tree, "It is the mother of all the trees in the Land of Manyo, and if it dies, the country will also fall into the dead." ”

"But it's ...... now," Xuan Yin looked at the patches of blinding black.

"Yes, so when this sacred tree was corrupted, the Grand Magus Rin Slater immediately opened up a space and protected it inside." The old man recalled.

"This tree has about two years to live, and after about two years, this tree will be consumed by the plague."

"This ...... Isn't there a solution? "Autumn Frost Moon is also anxious for them.

"Young man." Mayor Mare looked at him kindly.

"If we had a cure for this tree, why would we be in the situation we are in now?"

"Damn ......" Qiu Shuangyue felt for the first time that the country she was born in was so sinful.

"The three of you also have a heart, and you dare to come to Wanye Country to find answers." Mayor Mare's smile returned, "It's a pity that the people of your country are still kept in the dark. ”

"I'm going to make this public, definitely!" Autumn Frost Moon put her hands on the mayor's shoulders and swore an oath.

"It's good that you have this righteous heart." Mayor Mare still smiled kindly, "Even though you're the number one player on the server, there are some things you can't do. ”

"It's ...... What do you mean? "Autumn Frost Moon was a little puzzled for a while.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, you just talk nonsense like an old man." Mayor Mare said with a smile.

"That's right." Qiu Shuangyue suddenly thought of something, "Mayor Town, who is that Rinslet, I just saw that you keep mentioning his deeds." ”

"He is our country's great protector of the Great Magister, one of the world's four great magisters, it is said that he has lived a long time, but no one actually knows how long it is." The mayor replied, with a look of admiration in his eyes.

"It's only going to be a few months." Autumn Frost Moon thought.

"By the way, are you going to go all the way to our capital?" The mayor asked.

"No, Mayor Mare." The Misty Believer replied, "Our final destination is Huaicheng. ”

"Okay then, be careful on the road, I won't send it." Mayor Mare nodded.

The three of them bowed deeply and left the barrier.

The mayor was lonely on crutches, staring at the towering tree, and before he knew it, he burst into tears.

The door to the barrier closed behind him, waiting for the next stranger to open it.
