She looked at the young man who was still fighting tenaciously not far away, no matter how embarrassed she was, she didn't say a word, just insisted, which made her a little moved.

She looked down and thought about it, trying to sum up some lessons, maybe next time she should follow his rhythm and chant again every time she fought against those white moon blades, so that maybe she would last longer.

Wait, why do you say next time, this time things haven't been figured out yet.

Having lost the ability to awaken, the effect of Philip's resistance was greatly weakened, and from time to time he was chopped to the ground.

Of course, he didn't like to be seen clearly by another person, even if it was a beautiful woman.

As soon as his thought moved, the spiritual membrane wrapped around the blue spirit core immediately swelled and expanded in all directions.

The moment this spiritual membrane touched Afu, she only felt an invisible force knock her out, and when she opened her eyes again, she returned to her bed.

It's not accurate to say that she came back, because she never left.

Afu suspected that she had just had a dream, and that everything she had just done was just a dream after her own cranky thoughts.

She opened the window and looked at the tall roof not far away, and then at the two moons in the sky, quiet and beautiful, as if it was completely different from the dream just now.

Anyway, I'll find out when I see that person again tomorrow, and I'll have to figure out why I'm in his atrium.

Philip, who was still fighting, secretly scolded himself for being a honey dolphin, which was extremely stupid.

He had been fighting with the spirit membrane of the green spirit core all along, but he never thought that he had a bigger spirit core.

Although he couldn't see where the remaining seven tentacles of the blue spirit core had gone for some reason, whether it was its spirit membrane or the harder core, it could share a lot of pressure for him.

Although the blue spirit mask was also repelling him, it could weaken most of the moon blades to a small extent, and he only needed to lean his back against the blue spirit mask and protect that little distance.

The next time I let that woman concentrate on treating the exposed part of the sword marks, I don't know if she has such precise control.

Wait, why say next time.

However, what happened just now also told him that if he wanted, he could get rid of the uninvited guest as soon as possible, but he never did so.

Could it be that in his subconscious, he also hopes that someone can share his secrets and help him?

No matter how that Afu got in, whether it was as innocent as she said, at least she helped herself today, and everything would be better to ask in person tomorrow.

Philip, who changed his style of play again, was much calmer, at least he didn't need to be tired, and he found that the upper limit of the blue spirit core that could resist was higher than his own, and it seemed that the blue spirit core at the limit of the spirit core had changed in some attribute.

At the same time, he was also glad that these moon blades transformed by the power of divine punishment were much weaker than the light arrows emitted by the stone statues when they came, and they also lacked something.

In doing so, the number of Moon Blades collected more than doubled, giving him the upper hand for the first time in this race to consume, and what he got was slightly larger than what he consumed.

Finally, as the blue pillar groaned and shrunk below the ground, he finally resisted the nightmarish divine punishment once again and returned to normal.

When he woke up the next morning, he had made a decision that it was necessary for him to take her away, no matter how she was connected to his Spirit Core Temple, even if it was necessary to overcome the challenge from all the mountain tribe boys.

Afu got up a little later than usual, called her sleepy brother, opened the door, and saw a figure waiting in front of her door.

The girl's first reaction was, hum, in the real world, you are just a dwarf, and it is really cool to look down condescendingly.

"Can we talk?" asked Philip straight to the point.

Ave pursed her lips and asked calmly, "I wonder what Mr. Snape wants to talk about?"

Philip looked at the girl's casual expression, raised his eyebrows, and looked at it all from you, this little girl doesn't want to admit it?

Before he could realize that he had a bit of a grudge, he saw a furry fist appear in front of him out of thin air, approaching the bridge of his stiff nose.

This monkey will have to subdue him sooner or later.

However, he forgot that he had exhausted all the awakening time in the middle of the night last night, and he was temporarily unable to activate the ability, so he could only block it hastily in astonishment, and then he was knocked away by the fierce fist again.

It took more than a dozen steps backwards in a row before he came to his senses, and it seemed that there was still a long way to go to realize this wish.

No matter how he cleans up Alie after awakening, in the remaining eighteen hours of the day, people can retaliate back without any scruples, this ability is really against the sky, but he is also a very good thug.

It's not a top-notch combat power, but the attribute of supernormal standby is very rebellious, and he is the king of killing on the battlefield.

Fortunately, Afu stopped his younger brother in time and was teaching him a lesson, so that Philip did not continue to lose face.

The soft-hearted Afu felt that a punch was enough, and Alie looked down and listened to his sister's chatter while grinning defiantly at Philip.

Philip hadn't fought Ave, but seeing that she had easily stopped Ale, and it must have been without awakening, he was even more determined to abduct the siblings.

It's just that Ale suspects that he is half-solidified in the state of transformation and awakening, so what is the situation of Afu, she is really talented.

She was already so amazing, so how powerful her mother must have been back then, I am afraid that she would not be inferior to those holy knights in the temple.

It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to meet the goddess of the forest who showed great kindness to her more than ten years ago.

"I want to go to the sacred tree to worship, I wonder if it's convenient for you?" he asked as he approached Afu again.

Hearing his purpose, the irascible Allie was no longer hostile, but looked at his sister with a lonely expression.

Afu touched the long hair on the top of her brother's head, which was considered comforting, and then looked at the boy opposite.

It's just that she saw nothing but sincerity and reverence in Philip's blue eyes, as if being able to worship his mother was a very sacred thing for him.

Afu nodded, she couldn't refuse such a request, and she wanted to find an opportunity to talk openly and honestly with him.

Ever since last night's unexpected encounter, she knew that the fate of herself and her brother would be closely linked to the young man in front of her.

And all of this comes from their mother, who also wants to ask herself why there is such an arrangement.

The twins of fate, she already knows what she means, and she and her younger brother Alie are not the same pair of twins of fate.

The two sides tacitly did not bring anyone, Philip did not bring Chande and the others, except for the two who were secretly keeping vigil, the others were still sleeping.

And Afu didn't inform Uncle Ivan, but took his younger brother Alet, and the three of them walked quietly along a path made of stones to the top of the mountain.

Philip didn't speak along the way, and Afu didn't speak, only Alie became more and more sad as he got closer and closer to the sacred tree, and was held by Afu, really like a child.

After about a quarter of an hour, they finally reached the top of the mountain, which was encircled in the middle with a white rope with many notes of prayer tied to it, and inside was a huge tree that towered to the sky.

This is a maple tree, which is very conspicuous in this black mountain, because its leaves are wide and thick, resembling the palm of a person's hand, and the branches are luxuriant, even in this season, it has not dropped its leaves, and there is not even a piece of yellow, which is very peculiar.

But without these peculiarities, it wouldn't be a sacred tree.

Afu untied the rope loop outside, stood in front of the sacred tree with her hands folded, and prayed silently in her mouth, while Alie was more direct, climbed into a hole in the tree, curled up in it, and sobbed again and again, I don't know if she was crying.

Philip looked at the bottom of the trunk, where there was a slight bulge, judging by the size and shape, it really looked like a figure sitting there, but the outline of the face could not be seen clearly, and the glazed pattern on the trunk looked like her long hair.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but he felt a peaceful and tranquil force enveloping him, soothing the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart.

The farewell of his lover, the brazen invasion of the enemy, the tragic sacrifice of his comrades, and the divine punishment that hung high above his head like the sword of Dacmos, it was as if someone was gently soothing in his ear.

This kind force caused him to bend down, bow deeply to the sacred tree, close his eyes and pray.

Among countless ways and means, this time he chose to use sincerity as a bridge of communication.

He first expressed his reverence for Yulia, the goddess of the forest, and his sincere admiration for her selfless dedication and noble feelings.

He then thanked the goddess for her care and preference for him in the prophecy, and he vowed to respect her life without regret and no matter what choice Ave ultimately made.

In the end, he also gave a general account of how he entered the mountain and how he wandered here, focusing on his love-hate entanglement with Yun'er, as well as his relationship with Sophia.

When he had said this, he stood up, walked up to Aph, got down on one knee, and said, "Aphrona, before yesterday we were just two strangers living in this world.

But fate has arranged for us to meet here across thousands of mountains, and I hope you can give me a chance to prove my sincerity, that I have the ability to take care of you, and Ale.

Last night's events weren't accidental, and I'll find time to explain the secrets.

But I need your help to live one more day and give me a chance to overcome the curse of fate.

It may be too early for us to talk about love between us, which is not fair to you, and you can't make a hasty decision about the happiness of your life because of the so-called arrangement of fate.

So I will wait, impress you with my actions and sincerity, and wait until the day when you really want to.

This is the vow that Philip O. Snape made before Yulia, the goddess of the forest. ”

Afu had already shed tears, but not because of Philip's vows, but because of the love story between him and Yun'er.

She didn't know why the girl chose to leave, but as a girl who was in love for the first time, she felt sorry for the sister she didn't know, and sincerely hoped that they could meet again one day.

But how to choose, Afu's heart was full of entanglement, and she never spoke.

Philip stood up, and did not persecute, but came to the sacred tree and stroked the mottled trunk, feeling the vigorous vitality inside.

This time, even Allie showed no hostility, just curled up in the hollow of the tree and sobbed, not even responding to Philip's gentle stroking on his head twice.

This made Philip wonder if he would be too cruel to do so.

It wasn't until after descending the mountain, standing in front of the siblings' house, that Afu spoke, "When you overcome all the challenges tomorrow night, I will tell you the answer." ”

Then he led the languishing Alel back to the house.

She pinched her brother's furry ears and whispered, "Ale, is it okay for my sister to take you out of here, follow that Philip." ”

Alie raised his head and bared his teeth in disapproval.

Afu said again: "But this is my mother's wish, and when you go outside, it is possible to cure your illness." ”

Alie squatted at his sister's feet and hugged her leg like a child: "I'm not sick, I don't want you to marry him." ”

Afu smiled and patted his head: "How could I marry him so easily, he is sick, very sick, my mother asked us to help him, and when he is better, we will come back, okay?"

Aleh buried his head in his sister's lap and stopped talking.

Finally in shape, Philip was ready to take on the challenge from all the young people of the Alpine Ward Clan.

Before noon, the patriarchs of the twelve large tribes and the fifty or so small tribes arrived at the Sunset tribe with their retinues and the most prominent young men of the tribe.

The news that Philip might take their goddess away caused a commotion, and although they had all heard the prophecy and were in awe of the goddess of the forest, it did not stop the young people from burning with anger.

Soon, Philip became their public enemy.

The patriarchs got together and closed the door to discuss something.

It was mainly the patriarchs of the twelve major tribes who were talking, and the patriarchs of the other small tribes were listening.

"According to our covenant with the Yamashita Wards, we will send troops to help them in times of war, and now is the time for us to fulfill our promise. Old Ivan of the Sunset Tribe opened his mouth first, and there was no transition, and he directly pointed to the topic.

"That only works when they are in danger of extermination. The patriarch of the Snow and Frost Tribe, who is also one of the twelve tribes, said.

"Yes, he's just a kid who has fled, and he doesn't represent Gokan City, let alone the Wardsman Empire. The patriarch of the Yangyan tribe added.

At this time, the patriarch of the most populous and powerful of the twelve tribes said: "Ivan, my brother, we have known each other for more than sixty years, just say what you think.

Afu's coming-of-age days are important, of course, but they won't let you call us all over. ”

Ivan looked at the familiar faces around him, took out two letters from his body, threw them on the table, and said: "These two letters, one is sent by the Marquis of Gaokan City, Eagle Feather, who hopes that we can copy the back road of the steppe people and relieve their pressure on the southern front.

The other letter was sent by a group of grassland people three days ago, and the letter was signed by Daxun Mingge of the southern grassland people.

He wants us to stand on the sidelines and not get involved in their war with the Wardsman Empire, while promising not to invade our territory.

The chest next to the wall was full of gifts from them, saying that there would be more after they conquered. ”

As soon as his words fell, several big men opened the boxes, and they were indeed filled with countless treasures, dazzling, and shimmering with a vague brilliance in the light.

The entire conference hall was silent, and even the sound of the patriarchs of individual small tribes could be heard swallowing.

Old Ivan made a gesture, and the boxes were closed again, before he continued: "Our Sunset Tribe is already at the northernmost tip of the Black Forest, guarding the door and inquiring for news for our Alpine Tribe.

I'm sure some of you have received letters and gifts from the steppe people.

But this matter is not something that I can decide alone, it needs to be decided by everyone, or the old rule, three votes for the twelve tribes, and one vote for the other tribes. ”

The crowd was silent, and even the few who had swallowed their saliva just now sat honestly in their seats to see what the others had to say.

The real leaders are still the patriarchs of the twelve major tribes, and the rest of the small tribes are just attached to them.

At this time, someone spoke, it was the patriarch of the Cangyan tribe, they were the same as the Heishui tribe, in the easternmost part of all the tribes, the upper and lower reaches of the Heishui River, closer to the grassland people.

"I don't recommend sending troops at this time, we have a smaller and smaller population in recent decades, and there are fewer and fewer talented young people, and we can't afford to spend our limited population in such a senseless war.

Anyway, they call every year, only this time there is one more way. ”

Another patriarch of the White Peak tribe also objected: "Yes, since the Wardsman Empire has money, let them build a few more military cities."

As for these gifts, are those steppe wolves stupid, we live in this big mountain, what do we lack to look for in the mountains, what do you want these treasures that cannot be eaten or used, do you want to make beds?"

His words caused a burst of laughter from everyone, even old Ivan laughed.

Immediately afterwards, everyone expressed their opinions, some in favor and more against.

How many years have passed, and the relationship between them and the ordinary Ward clan has become more and more distant after living in the mountains for a long time, and they have not had much contact with each other in the past ten years, so they naturally have no feelings.

At present, there are many people who oppose sending troops and few who are in favor of sending troops.

Old Ivan watched coldly, and naturally knew that the few who were in favor of it were more or less inextricably linked with the Wardsman Empire, especially the southeastern border cities.

For example, the patriarch of the Blackwater tribe has an old relationship with a division leader in Vera Di City.

He also knew the old patriarch of the Golden Dome Tribe, who had been a senior instructor for several years at the Hanoi Tower Intermediate Military Academy in Gaokan City a few decades ago.
