"Milu, do you have any thoughts on the future?" Roque asked Milu, who was waving the frost and snow. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Huh? Future? Well...... If anything, it is probably to complete the task of the goddess and let the flower of Anais bloom. Then I can officially become an adult and do something that only adults can do! At this point, Milu stopped swinging her sword, her eyes full of longing for the future.

"And what about you, Kurto?"

"Huh? Me...... I have a lot of dreams in my words, and I can't finish talking about them for a while, such as eating all the food in the Anas continent, making Theon admit defeat in person, and becoming a hero to leave a legend......"

"Oh! You have big dreams! ”

"Hee-hee, I read a book called "The Journey of a Great Man" when I was a child, and I imagined what it would be like for me to be a great man in the future, and that must be great!" Kurtau scratched his head in embarrassment.

"That's over, according to your appearance, there will be no drama in this life." Milu criticized unceremoniously.

"What did you say?"

"Alright, alright. Now that I know what you want for the future, I will help you turn your vision into reality. Roque stopped the two men as the smell of gunpowder grew stronger.

"Does Uncle Roque have any suggestions?"

Rock took out a pen and paper out of nowhere and placed them in front of everyone, "The dream of the two of you is actually the same, whether it is Milou or Kurto, the first task to complete is to solve the crisis of the World Tree and make the flower of Anais bloom." And you who have accomplished this feat will not be able to become great men. ”

Kurto and Milou nodded at the same time.

"Well, to accomplish this task, the first thing to do is to 'investigate the cause of the World Tree's anomaly'", Roque drew a large tree on paper and put a question mark in the center of the trunk.

"As we all know, it is the World Tree that emits a huge amount of magical energy that causes the world to give birth to various laws, and if something goes wrong with the World Tree, there is no doubt that the laws will also be affected" Roque drew 8 circles next to the World Tree, surrounding the World Tree in the center.

"Suppose we find that the 'dark' law is far more active than the rest of the laws when we are cultivating," Roque blacked out the circle representing 'dark' while making the arrows bold.

"So can we deduce that it is something or a human factor that causes the 'dark' attribute of the World Tree to grow too fast and cause an imbalance of elements, which causes the anomaly of the World Tree?" Roque drew two branching arrows underneath the dark circle.

"I have a question, even if the cause of the World Tree's anomaly is really an elemental imbalance, how can we sense which element is abnormal? You must know that there are only two kinds of laws that we sense when we are cultivating, and we can't feel them any more. Miru mused.

"That's a good question. But Milu, have you ever had this experience, such as feeling the breath of the wind more in the forest, feeling the water element more active by the river, and the convergence of light elements almost visible to the naked eye in the temple? ”

"You mean...... Depending on the environment, how active the various elements will be? But even so......"

"Did I just say that there might be some kind of elemental 'anomaly'? This anomalous element can be clearly perceived even in a scene where another element is active. Then the result is obvious. ”

"I see! I get it! What Uncle Roque means is that we will go to the place where the eight elements converge to investigate, and if we encounter a place where the strength of the elements that should be weak exceeds the normal value, we can determine the cause of the anomaly! Milu suddenly realized.

"You're only half right, the abnormal concentration of the elements only means that there is a problem in the World Tree, and it can't directly find out the cause of the anomaly, but as long as you find this breakthrough point, the rest will be simple."

"So ......"

Roque took out the map of the Anais continent given by the village chief from his clothes and drew 8 circles on the map.

"Fire: Tower of Trials"

"Water: Ten Thousand Years of Ice Cave"

"Ground: Pitch Black Tunnel"

"Wind: Hunter's Forest"

"Thunder: City of Illusions"

"Meta: Void Corridor"

"Dark: Floating Dead Capital"

"Light: The Crown of the World Tree"

"These eight locations are the most active places for the eight elements on the continent, we only need to go to these eight locations once, and we can draw conclusions based on the output of monster attributes or attribute stones in these locations."

“…… These eight sites are scattered all over the continent, and it would take us a lot of time to investigate them all. ”

"The point is not how much time the investigation will take, but how far you will grow in the process of the investigation, Seventh Order? Eighth order? Or the Ninth Order? Roque didn't say a word, if he wanted to face the final boss Satorus, although it was not impossible to defeat with ordinary clothes, Roque didn't dare to take this risk. Compared to defeating Satorius in "ordinary" clothing, it is very rewarding, but if Roque is given a choice, he will definitely choose the powerful costumes of legendary characters such as Valkyrie Leon Criss, after all, this is not a game, Roque doesn't want to try to see if he can read the file after hanging up in this world, it is a stunt of 486, he doesn't have a costume named 486, and he can't wear it.

"And I've already picked the first location for you, which is the pitch black tunnel!" Roque points to the location of a pit marked in the lower left corner of the map.

There's a reason the pitch-black pit was chosen as the first anomaly investigation site. It's not just that the location of Chris's blackening in the first key plot is in the Pitch Black Tunnel, but also because the Pitch Black Tunnel produces all the attribute stones.

First, the second quarry produces four lower attribute stones, and the third quarry produces upper attribute stones, but the elevator leading to the third quarry is broken in the early part of the plot, and if you want to go to the third quarry, you must go to the blockade area. Roque, who is proficient in the game, knows very well that in the early stage, without the help of legal costumes, it can be said that it is a fool's dream to pass through the blockade area full of necromantic monsters, and the physical defense and automatic blood regeneration of zombies are so high that they can teach you to be human.

Therefore, whether it is for the sake of Chris's plot or for the early development, it is imperative to get a mage costume as soon as possible! And Roque also has a bold plan, if he can dig up the dark attribute stone, he will turn into a dark mage, the Dark Sage, to challenge the guards of the Tower of Trials!

In his previous life, Roque had done this more than once, obtaining the costume of a dark mage in the early stages of the game, and training to the advanced level of learning the "Demon Spear" to destroy the gatekeepers of the Tower of Trials, and obtaining a pass to the Tower of Trials in advance. You must know that when the third key plot knight Mindel blackened the guard, he was directly killed by Mindel (a knight killed the mechanical giant??? excuseme？？？ Waste a lot of experience.

There is another benefit to entering the Tower of Trials in advance, that is, the many treasure chests in the Tower of Trials are definitely earned.

……

"Pitch black tunnels? It seems that Chris and I said before we parted that we were going to go to the dark pit to destroy the monsters......" Minter heard that the group was about to leave for the dark pit and remembered what Chris said.

"That's just right! Sister Minter misses Brother Chris too, right? As the saying goes, if you don't see each other, you don't see ...... every other autumn."

"I hate it~" Minte's face flushed as she was teased by Milou.

"But before we do, we need to settle the trouble."

"Huh? Troublesome? ”
