"But...... Master, I don't have the same status as the bearer of the Fragment of God. ”

The little Lori in black said:

"I can talk to the equivalent of the Elemental Mana Shard, but if the World Tree is its bearer, I ...... I ......"

She suddenly couldn't go on.

"What's wrong? Stephanie. ”

Since the half-elf girl was already asleep, Xia hugged her over, let her remove her invisibility, and lay down intimately beside her:

"Don't be afraid, speak up."

The little Lori in black didn't speak, lowered her head slightly, and looked a little sad.

“…… Well, I kind of understand what's going on. ”

Xia looked at her aggrieved appearance, and a realization gradually rose in her heart.

- It's not that a God Fragment cannot communicate with the holder of another Fragment on a par basis.

- It's that she's the master and the owner of the elemental magic shards are too different.

Isn't that the same thing in your own world?

If two people with too large a status gap use servants to transmit messages, then the servants of one side are more likely to be arrogant, while the servants of the other side should be careful and low-key, and they will not be able to raise their heads for anything.

"Then don't go."

Natsu's mood deteriorated again.

Although she is now a powerhouse on the mainland, except for her, the owner of any piece of God Fragment is a god!

Although the World Tree is not the master of the fragments, nor is it a true deity, it has a very transcendent status; And in terms of strength, the other party has an elemental control ability that is enough to rival the law god, which is far from what she can compare to as a quasi-sword saint.

"I'm sorry, host......"

The little Lori in black lay on top of her, looking full of frustration.

"What are you afraid of, the World Tree won't bite."

Xia comforted her in turn, gritted his teeth and said:

"When the lich comes tomorrow, I'll meet it with you! It's just a tree. Even if it's taller than other trees, how powerful can it be? ”

“……”

The little Lori in black lay there and didn't speak.

"Why, don't you have faith in your master?"

Xia teased her to:

"Even Stephanie looks down on me like this, I'm so sad......"

"Not really! The hosts are the best! ”

The little Lori in black threw herself into her arms, and the two of them began to frolic on the beach.

"It seems that even without me around, she should be able to do well."

The half-elf girl who woke up at some point stood on a tall tree. Stroking the rough tree trunk, watching the silver-haired girl and the little loli in black happily playing in the water.

Her face did not have the usual jealous look, but revealed a hint of reassurance.

……

"I don't feel the passage of time here."

The next day, the lich felt the breath of the island and said to the people:

"This island is very weird...... These plants too. ”

It reached out and plucked a blade of grass, holding it in its hand and letting the dark aura rot it, but soon the leaf returned to normal.

"Partner, call out the black spirit you summoned last time, I have something to ask it."

The lich asked the black spirit. Then let it take itself in front of a weed.

The black spirit pointed to the leaves on it, meaning that it was from here that the leaves were plucked and brought to the sea.

"At that time, everyone's attention was not on the grass itself, but on what it represented, and no one paid attention to where it went after it was shaken off."

The lich looked at the weed and said, "It's back...... And there is no damage visible from above, which is enough to prove my inference. ”

"Fernanxi, you're saying that time stands still on this island? I seem to have heard the same thing in another place. ”

Xia frowned and said:

"Have you ever heard of Magendna? Now the people on the continent are used to calling it the Ancient Kingdom. ”

"There are many in the ancient kingdoms, my companion."

The lich replied:

"The name Mogendona is unfamiliar to me. Do you know who its owner is? ”

"I don't know her name."

Xia looked at the others, and most of them had actually heard about it:

"But she seems to have a title. It's called the Witch of Forgotten Time. ”

The lich groaned for a moment, and said:

"Witch...... Not many people dare to use this title, and when the dwarves were still addicted to mining, there were three witches who were known all over the world, and she was perhaps one of them. ”

"Being able to make time stand still is already a means of the gods. I don't know which witch got promoted, but it's a good thing to congratulate, because it's been a long time since a new god has appeared. ”

"There are no gods here, only the tree."

Xia exhaled and looked at the giant tree in the distance:

"That's what we're aiming for. If the other party really has the power of the gods, this time the mission can only be abandoned. ”

"Hehe, how is that possible?"

The lich laughed:

"Actually, I also have the power of a god...... But this power is not complete, and its power is limited; Even if a plant has divinity, it will only become an oracle, just like the turtle. ”

It gestured to the turtle, which was still hovering in the distance:

"And the sacred tree of the elves has always had another name, that is, the tree of guardianship; If it stands here, it means that it has some kind of mission, and unless we do something about what it guards, there will be no danger to this gentle giant tree. ”

I'm just going to do something to protect it!

Xia Youbitter couldn't speak.

"Let's take one step at a time."

She thought helplessly:

"Anyway, it's impossible to fight such a strong opponent, I'll go and ask in person when the time comes, if it's rejected, I can only give up the elemental magic fragments first."

After a long preparation and hardships, it is very unwilling, but there is no way, it is difficult to let everyone die with him?

Let's not talk about how difficult it is, first of all, let others die for herself, and she can't get over this psychologically.

"And then there's the stele you found."

The lich's voice became solemn:

"I can do that, but it will take a long time. The section of the stele looks fresh, if it is a matter of just a few days, then the guy who destroyed the stele is probably much stronger than me. ”

"Compared to the Elven Guardian Tree, this enemy is our biggest problem."

"Assuming that this enemy really exists, how strong is it? Is it worse than the Black Calamity? ”

The werewolf princess asked a question.

"Half to half."

The lich replied:

"Both sides should be about the same...... If you really fight. The result is either a lose-lose situation, or no one can help the other. ”

"But we're different, if we encounter any of them on this island, we have to flee, or someone will lose their lives in the battle, if not all of them."

"Stephanie, scout around this island again."

Xia became worried:

"Don't let go of the sky and the bottom of the sea this time, let's not rush forward first, wait until she comes back from reconnaissance."

"It's a great place because there are no mosquitoes."

The werewolf princess wagged her tail and said:

"If not too quiet. I don't have any food, so I really want to stay here and not leave. ”

"Let's wait until we figure out the ins and outs of this island, and then we can all live here together."

Xia had already had this idea, but he didn't expect it to be said by Di Liya first.

After a few people waited in the jungle for a while, the little Lori in black flew back and shook her head at the master, meaning that she didn't find anything.

"Then hurry up."

The Lich was the first to float into the air:

"Maybe that guy will be back soon, if we're quicker. Maybe we'll be able to get ahead of it and accomplish this goal. ”

As soon as it said this, everyone immediately became nervous.

Sadonan and the Lich are at the forefront. After the black cat and Natsuto, the werewolf princess and Natya Vida walked in the middle, and the team divided into three sections and began to explore the island.

Without a guide, they went deep into the jungle, where the environment was not difficult, but there was no road inside. There is no sunlight in sight, not even an open area.

The giant tree seemed to be very close, but as soon as it entered the jungle, it lost its way, and the little Lori in black flew high to the top of the tree, guiding everyone to the path. The crowd walked among the silent trees, no insects, no birds, only the rustle of grass as they walked.

"Yikes! Pierced. ”

After getting tired of walking, the werewolf princess wanted to sit in a seemingly flat place for a while, but she was pricked by the spikes that came out of the leaves, and her blue arc actually did not have an automatic body.

"There's no poison on it."

Because the location was relatively secret, Natya Vida pushed away Natsu, who wanted to go over for examination, looked at the wound herself, and then stretched out the tip of her tongue and licked it to confirm that there was no poisoning.

"Some of the grass here looks scary, but none of it looks poisonous."

After this incident, the werewolf princess, who is good at survival in the wild, also redoubled her caution and took the initiative to take the lead of everyone, identifying plants and traps in front, and finally came to a conclusion.

"Master, I feel something terrible appear."

The black-clothed little Lori in the sky said loudly:

"Right down the tree!"

"Everyone, stop!"

Natsu gave the order to stop advancing.

"Did you find anything?"

The lich, the black cat, and the half-elf girl all sent a message to her at the same time.

"We're already very close, let's find a few trees to climb up and see what's going on over there."

She first found a tree and jumped on it, and quickly climbed to the top of the tree, looking at the bottom of the giant tree.

"That's ......" The half-elf girl is also the type who is good at climbing trees, and came to her side with Delia.

A sea breeze blew, and the leaves of the giant tree rattled in the wind, and a fresh smell came from the nose.

In the clearing under the tree, a black horse lay quietly on its knees, its burning eyes closed, as if enjoying the breath of the giant tree.

A knight in silver armor sat on his horse, looking up at the World Tree in front of him.

On the trunk of the tree appeared a transparent female soul, shining with golden light, and was looking at it tenderly.

The knight on horseback, the ghost in the tree, looked at each other quietly in the sea breeze, but one could never see the other in his eyes, only the towering tree in front of him, speaking vague words in the wind. (To be continued......) R1292
