As the chemotaxis infected body of the Doomsday Ancestor, the pretender has always been very picky, from the time Green received the task to the present, if it wasn't for the mage pretender in the middle, it would be a small gain, and these weird guys may not even have a single hair left. Although Green had pinned his hopes on the good fortune of the Kunali Sword Guard, it was a pity that the drop list was empty, and even the reddest hand could not open a dime.

While waiting for Lilith to calm the villagers, Green and Albert discussed the gathering of the pretenders, and finally decided that if they had spare strength, even if one person was separated, they should set up a monitoring point in the village, so that no fish escaped or other impostors arrived.

On the side of the nobleman's private guard, Green accepted the thanks expressed by the captain of the private guard, and instructed him to convey his greetings to the Earl of Tsishand, and to pay homage another day. The private soldiers were full of good feelings for Green and his party, one was because they helped out, not only saved their lives but also solved a big hidden danger, and the other was because of Green's "aristocratic status" - although the clothes were a lot of money, but they were not spent in vain, Green's aristocratic clothes and speech bearing, coupled with the real aristocratic Lilith behind the foil, these private soldiers took it for granted that Green was a nobleman, and their attitude was naturally respectful and careful.

The pretender's business was not small, and the privates needed to reciprocate, and soon took their leave of Grimm. On Lilith's side, the kind-hearted aristocratic daughter also appeased the feelings of the villagers, and followed Green and the others on the road, but when they returned to the team, they rolled their eyes at Green and looked at Green inexplicably.

Re-mounted, Green, Assesses, Albert, and Lilith led the way. The Kunali Broken Sword Guards followed in case any danger arose.

Continue along the path of the valley. The road began to get narrow and rough. The first part of the road is the only way to enter the village, and it is usually quite smooth for people to walk a lot. The village should also find a vacant land in the valley to build, and then go forward, but it is like a line of sky-like paths, everyone is obviously walking in the valley, but because the sun is difficult to shine directly and create a shadow, there is a feeling of entering the dangerous canyon.

Fortunately, there was only rubble all over the way, and I didn't encounter any monsters and monsters.

Green was on his horse, and there was some bumpiness at first. Later, he simply exercised his physical coordination, and swayed from side to side with the horse's up and down amplitude. Later, Albert saw his lord's graceful posture swinging in the wind, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud, but the more he laughed, the louder he became, and he couldn't control it. Lilith next to her looked at the mage strangely, and when she understood the reason for Al's laughter, she couldn't help but laugh along.

Green snorted coldly and glanced at them, laughing, laughing, laughing. Tomorrow morning to see who has a back ache and a butt ache.

Finally walked out of the valley, facing the several avenues in front of them, everyone felt a sense of relief. Caught between the peaks on both sides, although knowing that there would be no danger. Everyone still has a depressed feeling of suffocation. Fortunately, although the road ahead is still uneven, it has suddenly opened up.

"If it's on the mountain, you're going to take this road, right?"

Green pointed to the fork in the road on the left. Ask Albert. There are three intersections ahead, and the most rightmost is a clear downhill road. In the middle is an avenue that seems to connect to the outside of the border. And the one on the left is overgrown with weeds, and it looks like no one has left for a long time.

The Dark Wizard flipped through the map, confirmed his bearings, and finally nodded to Green.

The boy held up the speculum and squinted his eyes for a moment, then gently pinched the horse's belly, "Let's go, everyone, enjoy this time, we will soon say goodbye to them." ”

Sure enough, after about ten minutes of further progress, the road up the mountain had become extremely difficult, and the once broad road had been almost completely destroyed by the war, in addition to the trees that had grown over time, the pits of different sizes were also overgrown with all kinds of plants, and in the green shade, fragments of equipment that had been used for siege were still faintly visible. The road was rough and full of debris, and it was not until Albert's horse stepped on a rusty nail that Green knew he could no longer ride.

"Dismount everyone, let's walk forward for the rest of the road."

Green turned over and dismounted, and when he looked back, he saw Lilith getting up from the horse and sitting down in a hurry, her little face twitching in pain, and her heart was suddenly refreshed. People who don't ride horses often may not feel so uncomfortable when galloping, but once the butt is off the horse's back, the "wonderful" taste is absolutely unforgettable.

"Lilith?"

However, Green did not hide and gloat, he just smiled in his heart, and quickly walked over, and stretched out his hand to the nobleman's daughter with a very gentlemanly demeanor.

Lilith blushed, more like a ripe apple among the bushes.

She handed her hand to Green with a little shame, the young man reached out and clenched it, the girl felt the heat of the palm that was not rough, and suddenly exclaimed, only to feel that the world was spinning, and the next second the person had left the horse, and had already flown off the horse under Green's horizontal embrace. The feeling at that moment was strange to Lilith, this eldest lady who stayed at home, except for receiving the aristocratic education of Endymion, all her life was to study magic, study magic and machinery, and there were no brothers in the family, and she had never experienced the feeling of being embraced by the opposite sex.

Due to the natural defense mechanism of women, the girl's body stiffened suddenly the moment she fell into Green's arms, but the arms under her body were steady and without the slightest trembling, but she seemed to be a milk swallow returning to the nest, and before Lilith could react, her body had naturally softened. This is the first time since I was a child.

Is it because it's comfortable?

This shameful thought made Lilith's face red all the way to her neck.

No, it's not, it's because, it's because......

"Lilith?"

Green's voice sounded in the girl's ears with doubts, and Lilith hurriedly jumped down from Green's arm, turning her back to Green and sorting out her clothes in a panic.

"Are you okay?"

The boy's voice rang out again, startling Lilith to almost throw her fanny pack on the ground.

"I—I'm okay! I'm fine......"

Although Green was puzzled, he only thought that Lilith was a little embarrassed by the pain in the bones, and turned around and arranged for Assesis to send scouts. Ears listened to Green's footsteps and walked away. Lilith breathed a sigh of relief, her hands clutching her neckline tightly. The blush on his face faded.

Why?

She couldn't help but think about it.

"Miss Lilith, Your Highness is going away." The Black Wizard reminded from the side.

"Ahh Sorry, I'll follow right away. ”

Lilith quickly smoothed the folds on her clothes, then turned to follow, but her eyes were still full of doubt, clearly immersed in the question.

Why, exactly?

Along the road, almost completely buried under the plants, Green and his party made their way up with difficulty. Halfway through, Green was even a little skeptical, the only way was so difficult to walk. Is there really no problem here as a territory?

"It is said that even if four carriages were parallel at that time, it was not a problem, but now it seems unlikely, but if you can set up a teleportation circle, you must be able to solve it easily."

When Green questioned Albert, the Dark Mage replied.

In the end, Green still went up according to the original plan, hoping that the "hometown" of the seventh generation would not be too shabby.

The winding climb of the mountain road finally gradually smoothed out, and I raised my head through the branches and vines. You can already faintly see the majestic stronghold in the distance. After a bumpy journey and a hard time, Green breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to encourage everyone. Suddenly, Assesis frowned, talking to one of his men in Kunali.

"Asa, what's wrong?"

The Broken Sword Guardian departs. Assesis turned back and reported back to Green. "Your Highness, one of our scouts is missing."

"Gone?" Green was stunned for a moment. "What do you mean by disappearing......"

Assesis shook his head, "According to the Kunali Army Scouting Code, all scouts should have returned five minutes ago. ”

"Missing?" Green pondered slightly, "Maybe it's entangled in strange plants?" ”

The Broken Sword Guard is a subsidiary summoned creature of Assesis, and Assesis himself does not have the ability to mind and cannot perceive, and he cannot find the information from the system interface - whether it is the contractor column or the demon pet column, there is no such thing as the zài Kunali Broken Sword Guard.

"Which direction?"

Assesis pointed to the right where the two were located, which was a dense forest area, and the scouts had been sent just in case.

"It's not the right situation here."

Commander Kunali was silent for a moment, giving his own judgment.

Green raised his head and looked around, his eyes were all quaint dark green, and the leaves, vines, and grass seemed to have been washed away by time, and the aura was extraordinarily heavy. Before Assesis made up his mind, Green didn't think it was strange, but when the commander said this, there was another explanation in front of him.

His heart struck.

"Asa, I think we should halt our advance for now," Green commanded in a deep voice, "and it would be better to stay here until we find the lone Scout." ”

Assesis nodded, judging from the current situation, it is indeed much safer for people to gather together, and he also believes that Green's caution is not wrong, in this unknown environment, any abrupt behavior may bring disaster. He quickly passed the order to the Broken Sword Guards, and the neatly marched Kunari immediately set up camp. Albert, who learned of the mutation, rushed over, listened to Green's explanation, and saw Assesis asking Green for instructions, "Your Highness, I will lead a few Broken Sword Guards to set out to find it, please wait here for me to come back." ”

But Green shook his head.

"All the Broken Sword Guards are left, and I'll go with you."

"Your Highness!"

Before Assesis could speak, Albert had already screamed against it, and he almost stabbed Green in the back with half of the chestnut staff, "Why are you risking your life again?" You are the son of the military uniform, the future world lord, please be a little conscious, and don't let me wait to worry about being a subordinate anymore. ”

"If you're struggling with security, you don't have to worry about this." Green patted the flame shadow on his waist and said nonchalantly, "If we can't find out what happened, we will be the ones who will be damaged in the end, and I think my strength is more suitable for working in a 'dangerous' place than the Broken Sword Guard." ”

"Besides, if there is danger, isn't there still Acesis to protect me?"

Commander Kunali silently pulled out the dragon's spine behind him. Stand on your chest.

Albert said, look at Green, look at Acesse. Finally, he stomped his foot and turned around and left.

"Oh, yes, Al. Watch Lilith and don't let her run around. ”

Green added later, and Hu replied with a heavy nasal voice from the mage.

"Your Highness, Albert actually has good intentions."

Assesses, who has always been taciturn, rarely said something that had nothing to do with the mission. Green glanced at him in surprise and shrugged at Albert's back, "Of course I know, of course Al is for my good, or more than that." Maybe at this moment, he wants to enter the forest instead of me. ”

Assesis also looked at Albert's back, and this time, he was silent again.

Soon, the two of them finished their preparations, and Green arranged the guard work of the Broken Sword Guard, told Lilith, who was still a little absent-minded, and greeted Albert cheerfully, regardless of whether the Dark Wizard responded or not. Turning around, he led Assesis into the dense forest. The two men entered the jungle, opened the bushes and quickly closed them, Albert looked at the two figures that disappeared into the sea of green, and unconsciously clenched the chestnut staff in his hand. On that delicate face, there was a slight unwilling expression. In his dark eyes, there was a moment of wavering in his heart. For a moment, there was a flash of golden light.

"Your Highness......"

The Black Wizard took a deep breath and turned abruptly. Ordered the two Broken Sword Guards to wait for Green's message, and turned to the side. After finding a stone slab and sitting on the ground, after telling Lilith not to disturb him, he folded his hands in front of him and slowly closed his eyes.

Once you enter the forest, the scene is very different. Quite unlike the dilapidated trails, there seems to be a strong aura in the depths of the dense forest, filling the area blocked by dense vegetation. With the help of some light-colored flowers as a background, Green observed the color of the breath, and was surprised to see a touch of water blue, as if they were in a shallow lake like smoke.

"Be careful." Assesis admonished in the back.

Green nodded, touching the blue breath lightly. He tried to use his magic to mobilize the elements in the air, and the feedback he received was beyond his expectations.

"It's a magical energy!"

Assesses's usually calm face also showed shock at this time: "So much energy......

"It's a sea of energy." Green was also surprised.

He raised his hand, and there was a faint blue glow floating in his palm, which he took off as if he had smeared the color with a brush of the blue light veil.

"Strange, but steady structure."

Assesis felt it and responded.

The two of them glanced at each other, feeling the strangeness of this dense forest even more, and in Green's heart, there was even more curiosity about the seven generations. What is the reason for being able to choose such a strange place with special magical powers as a stronghold?

"Let's keep walking."

He beckoned to Acesis, and the two continued on.

This blue light veil, like a real lake, surrounds each plant and extends to the end of their vision. In their movements, they did not stop at all, but gently swayed away with each step of the two people, as soft as nothing.

After about a few tens of meters, the scenery gradually changed. Green looked back at Assesis and saw Commander Kunali nodding at him.

The trees here are decreasing, while the flowers are increasing.

It seems that as the distance changes, the species of plants become more and more homogeneous, and the blue light mist becomes a little more intense. This aberrations made Green and Assesis more cautious, keeping an eye on their feet while keeping their eyes around to see where the missing Kunali scout had gone.

"Huh? What is that? ”

Green, who was walking in front, suddenly noticed something in front of him.

The two of them walked over and saw a "tree" that was completely different from ordinary plants, if Green had to describe it, it was a green "coconut tree", although the torso was very irregular, like a twisted twist, but the round fruit at the top was crystal clear. Green leaned cautiously over and sensed the magic fluctuations on the "green coconut tree" as little as possible without alarming the veils.

"It's pure magical energy, this thing is formed by the crystallization of the elements." Green looked at those fruits in amazement, it was hard to imagine that there would be such a pure element on the Overworld plane. When it comes to pure elemental crystals, colored and colorless small crystals are among them, but because these things are produced in the elemental plane, they are scarce resources on the Cabez continent, and the raw materials contain quantitative impurities, and the processing is also laborious, so the price is extremely expensive, and it is difficult for ordinary mages to pay.

"It is used to provide energy, which is several times more efficient than magic crystal." Assesis also seemed to have seen this kind of thing for the first time, and he quickly asked the question, "Your Highness, do you want to take some for Albert to test?" ”

The commander's mention was approved by Green. He didn't dare to pull out the flame shadow, but he got up from Acesto, stretched out his palm and gently folded it, and plucked off the few magic crystals one after another. He had just run out of yellow crystals, leaving only three colorless crystals in his pocket that he had bought from the mysterious trader "Wildling" Beard, and if this thing proved to have no side effects, it would be better to use it as a magic payment.

"It's a bit weird how this thing came from." Green felt it carefully, puzzled by the elemental storage pattern contained in the aquamarine fruit.

Assesis looked at the fruit in his hand, thought carefully for a moment, and suddenly showed doubts on his face, "...... Your Highness, it seems that there is awakening power in this. ”

"Awakening?"

Green looked at the fruit in his hand in amazement, and suddenly thought of something. He quickly flipped over the aquamarine fruit, looked at the flatter side that had been attached to the palm of his hand, and looked at the thin patterns and carefully compared them with his memory.

Suddenly, he exclaimed.

"I know what it is! Ocean Force! It's the power of the ocean! (To be continued......)
