Noro Kingler's words brought Rhodes into a completely unknown spiritual world, he felt a little excited and a little confused, the world that had been dark for many years seemed to suddenly see the clouds, and before he could prepare anything, he was pierced by the bright light and could barely open his eyes. But the phototaxis of life made him curious to approach those rays, and even though his eyes were pierced and his eyes were blurred by the dazzling light, he was still eager to find out.

In the long history of the Eastern Continent, people have constantly staged stories of creation and destruction. Today's aristocrats may be tomorrow's slaves, today's liars may be enshrined tomorrow, and today's heroes may become tomorrow's prisoners...... What has not changed for thousands of years is only the hypocritical and selfish nature of the Lepeilian people. For the Lepelians, loyalty and trust are nothing more than expedient measures for people to survive, and many words have long since lost their literal meaning.

Thinking of all this, Rod couldn't help but sigh: "Once upon a time, those 'barbarians' have become strong people beyond our reach?"

"It's not that the Savoyard people have changed, it's that we've always had a contemptuous attitude and haven't taken care to understand them. Noro said coldly.

Rhodes had never seen such a cold Noro, and for a while, he couldn't tell whether he was feeling sad for the Lepeilian people, or worried about the future of the Eastern Continent, maybe neither...... Suddenly, I didn't know how to answer, so I had to turn to the topic they hadn't finished talking about before: "By the way, are the aliens from the Western Continent mentioned earlier different from the legends?"

"Hmm...... I once met an alien in the Colosseum of the Savoy. Noro replied thoughtfully. When he went to the Western Continent, he heard that there was an alien in the Colosseum, so he went to see it.

"Really?!" Rhodes immediately asked curiously, "How?"

Noro thought for a moment and replied cautiously: "In the past thousand years, the Sava people have not only greatly improved their combat effectiveness, but also increased their population to about two million. The number of aliens who went to the Western Continent forty-seven years ago was only about 10,000, and that number still seems to have remained unchanged today, even though the Savoyards have been fighting them for decades. ”

"Ah!" Rod was shocked, "I mean...... Is the combat power of 10,000 aliens equivalent to 2 million Sava people?"

Noro nodded at first, but then denied: "I'm afraid it's more than that." ”

"This ...... How could that be?" was hard to believe, but Rhodes didn't think Noro would joke about such a thing.

How could Noro's remarks indirectly deny the history of the Lepelian people's heroic repulsion of the aliens and their expulsion to the Jedi as praised in the history books, and also the overturning of some of the classics that Rhodes had painstakingly read? If what Noro said was true, what a terrible thing it would be! This is enough to show that the aliens may have the power to destroy the world, and how can the Lepelian people be able to contend with it? No wonder Noro had asked him casually what he would do if he met a stranger in the Forest of Death?

"Well," Rod sighed, "it seems that the more you read a book, the easier it is to be swayed by the lies in between." ”

"In a sense, the instrument is not only a tool for disseminating knowledge, but also a means of dominating ideas, and perhaps the latter is more useful than the former. The amount of knowledge recorded in some books may be far less than the amount of lies. Unless we have enough experience and independent thinking ability to sum up experience and judge the truth on our own. So, in many cases, we should be suspicious of the knowledge in our heads, not the incredible phenomena. Unlike Rode's surprise shock, this was clearly Noro's deliberate speculation. "Actually, I don't think that the aliens were repelled by the force of the Lepelians, but I have never been able to figure out why they suddenly disappeared. Therefore, it should not be surprising that one day in the future, if aliens suddenly appear in front of us again. ”

Since the aliens had disappeared for three hundred years, Rhodes did not seriously consider the threat of aliens, and even like the vast majority of people, gradually ignored the existence of aliens. At this time, they were in the depths of the forest, but Noro brought up these topics intentionally or unintentionally, could it be that there was some kind of premonition? It would be too strange if the aliens who had not appeared since they were trapped in this ancient battlefield by poisonous smoke thousands of years ago were still alive...... Rhodes couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, he definitely didn't want to bring this army to death, let alone cause the Eastern Continent to fall into the disaster caused by the virus war.

When they set out again, the light in the forest had dimmed a little, and the gray patch in front of them was very poor, even with torches. There are a lot of poisonous insects in this forest, but the deadly beasts have not been encountered, but fortunately they came prepared, and so far everything has gone well.

In a short time, the advancing team had reached the center of the forest, where there were no more bones tangled in grass roots, but vines with stingers hung everywhere. They had to open the way as they went, and some of the soldiers used their long knives to cut through the messy vines, opening a path that could barely pass through the beasts, so that the team behind them could continue to move forward.

In this way, the process is much slower. When Noro was about to go down to the ground for a walk, the soldiers who had opened the way in front of him suddenly ran back, saying that they had spotted some strange light in the darkness not far away. Hearing this, Noro and Mu Qi couldn't help but glance at each other, and immediately drove the beast to investigate the situation with the soldier. Rod was also very surprised, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he hurriedly chased after him.

As the soldier pointed in the direction, he saw many faint dots of light shining in the darkness ahead. Muki couldn't help but wonder, "Is there anyone like us who is planning to venture through this forest?"

Rod, who happened to arrive at the scene, couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and thought that the news had leaked, so he hurriedly followed their line of sight, and saw that the light spot in front of him was blue and green, as if it was not the light color of the torch, so he put a little bit of heart. But if it's not a torch, then what?

Noro observed quietly for a moment, and then spoke: "Those points of light don't seem to be moving, and most of them are in a higher position, so it shouldn't be caused by people crossing the forest." ”

"It doesn't seem close, but it's hard to tell the actual distance just by looking at it. The strange phenomenon worried Rhodes a little, not because he was afraid of death, but because he was afraid that he would lead the wrong way and affect everyone, so he asked, "Shall we continue in this direction?" or can we get around there......

Noro stared intently at the point of light ahead, knowing that there could be many unforeseen dangers in the forest, but for some reason, the mystery was so concerned that he knew that he should find out the truth. When he retracted his gaze and turned around, Murch happened to be looking at him as well, his eyes shining with interest in the light of the torches, and it was clear that he was ready for this adventure. Seeing this, the corners of Noro's mouth raised almost invisibly, and he said to Rhodes: "No, we will not change direction and continue to move towards those points of light." ”

The distance between the points of light was indeed farther than expected, and it was not until the second torch that he carried with him was about to burn out that he finally reached the place where the light source was. It turns out that those are not small spots of light at all.

There were three towering giant trees in front of them, and it was the first time they had seen such a huge tree beyond imagination, and they were afraid that they had grown here for thousands of years. But the most striking thing is not the three giant trees, but the clusters of drop-shaped flowers hanging from the branches of the giant trees, which are coiled by glowing flower vines. From a distance, it looks like a large drop of water about to fall down, and the branches of three giant trees hang high and low, looking mysterious and magnificent in the dark night.

"There seemed to be some strange yellow-green light shining through the cracks in the vines, and there must be something wrapped in it. Driven by curiosity, Murch couldn't help but take a few steps closer, walked to a huge cluster of flowers hanging from a low branch, and poked his head out to take a closer look.

"There are such beautiful plants in the world!" Rod exclaimed, almost looking away from those strange lights.

The soldiers behind him couldn't help but raise their heads one after another, looking curiously at the flowers all over the tree, only Noro had a thoughtful look. Although he didn't know what it was, it was anything but ordinary, and an answer flickered in his heart, and he was about to catch some signs, but suddenly disappeared without a trace, so he had to be cautious.

The ground around the three giant trees was level, unlike elsewhere, there were no thorns or rocks, but it didn't look like it was the result of man-made manipulation, because wild flowers and weeds were still growing wildly. Noro told the soldiers to rest on the flat ground next to them, but no one was allowed to approach the three giant trees easily.

"Noro...... "The only person who dares to call him by his name like this has always been Muki.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Noro, who had just settled the soldiers, turned around and walked towards Muki.

"Don't you want to know what's wrapped in those vines?" asked Murkey with interest.

Noro approached the cluster of flowers and took a closer look, and then said, "These flowers are so huge, three people holding hands may not be able to ring them, and the contents may be bigger than yours." ”

"Hehe......" Murch couldn't help laughing, "I know, but I'm really curious. And you want to know, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have come close to it. Since they're all here, if you leave without figuring it out, you might regret it later. ”

Just as he knew Muqi, Muqi knew him well, but Norro did not answer immediately, looked at Muqi in silence, and then turned back to Rhodes and said, "If we are in danger here, if we are all annihilated, we cannot fulfill your wishes, and you are in vain, will you regret it?"

"Oh, Lord Kingler don't need to worry about me, if the whole army is destroyed, then I will definitely not be able to escape. At that time, what's the point of not regretting it? Now that I'm dead, what will become of this world in the future is beyond my control. Rhodes looked calm, without any insistence, as if they were not discussing a matter of life and death. However, he continued, "But if we are lucky enough to escape this fate, does that mean that we will be friends in life and death in the future, and we will be able to fight side by side without any scruples?"

"Of course. Noro's answer was not sonorous, his voice was as cold as usual, but his eyes shone with undoubted trust.

Hearing this, Rhodes suddenly smiled with peace of mind: "Then what are you waiting for? Actually, I also want to know what kind of treasure can be made to protect these rare flowers and vines so carefully?"

It seems that they are people whose curiosity is more important than their lives. After all, a long, uneventful life is always more attractive than a short and magnificent circumstance.
