Chapter 23: Changing the Tragedy

Over the years, Shure and Moria have traveled a lot of worlds, and they can be regarded as well-informed, and the two of them have also seen a lot of planets in various worlds, such as high temperatures, low temperatures, full of fierce beasts, inadvertent grass, heavy and difficult to move, and can easily jump into the air, so that the two of them feel that no matter what type of planet they see, they will no longer be surprised.

However, this time, the two were still shocked, because they didn't expect that what appeared in front of them was a pure woody planet.

The line of sight in the rift space could not reach far, so it was not until the planet was only a few hundred kilometers away from the two of them that the two of them discovered its existence, and a wooden ball close to the size of Pavatiga suddenly appeared in front of the two, and the huge size brought an extremely powerful shock, so that the two couldn't help but take a few steps back, but even so, they couldn't see the whole picture of the planet, let alone relieve the pressure brought by the size.

It's a woody planet, or rather, it's a towering tree.

Thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers of tree roots are intertwined in the rift space, although there is nowhere to take root, so exposed in the space, but each tree root is still strong. Of course, there was a trunk on top of the root, and it should be enough to penetrate the sky, but the two of them could not see it, because the canopy was too thick, and the trunk had been completely obscured.

The diameter of the canopy is thousands or even nearly 10,000 kilometers, and only the non-neutral world of the rift space can have such a huge canopy, and the branches of different thicknesses twist and coil together, hanging down from the top of the tree in all directions, completely enveloping the trunk from all directions. Wrapped not in layers, but in layers, the branches were layered on top of each other, entangled with each other, communicating with each other, like an almost solid wooden sphere, hovering in the air.

There were no leaves, only branches of incalculable diameter exposed to the sight of the two, and the ravines on the trunk were synthesized, which should have belonged only to the normal grain of the bark, but after being magnified countless times, it became the ruggedness of the ground.

There is no need to explain, Shul and Moriah also understand, no wonder Lord Anika said that she has found her own body, and she has indeed found it, because this wooden planet is actually the half of Lord Anika's body, and there is no doubt that another Lord Anika has turned herself into a planet for various reasons, and has been sleeping in the rift space for thousands of years.

"Well, it turns out that your mother is also a ......" Shuer suddenly stopped, well, the desire to survive is extremely strong, at the beginning, Moria dared to talk nonsense, it was because Lord Luna was not there, even if she knew about it afterwards, she would not be as knowledgeable as her, but, Anika is not Lord Luna, this oldest forest spirit has nothing to do and still has to cause something, how can she be as gentle and kind as Lord Luna, if she really said something that should not be said...... Well, Shul suddenly felt a chill.

"If Luna isn't there, no matter how much you flatter, she won't know, and she won't be able to save you. Behind him, there was a certain goddess's gloomy thoughts, "If you dare to think like this, you must have already realized it." ”

"Praise be to the Lord of the Forest, I beg your pardon for being wrong. Shur almost burst into tears, and said with a bitter face, "You see, you have found the other half, this is a great event to celebrate, if nothing else, there will be one more day of the Holy Day of the Temple of Plants in the future." It's not good to cause a bloody case on such an important holiday, right, so ......"

"Stop talking nonsense. Lord Anika was obviously in a good mood, and didn't bother to pay attention to Shule's offense of thinking of her as a ball, and looked at her half of her body through Moria's eyes, and after a long silence, she suddenly said, "You know, even a month ago, I didn't believe that you were really capable of taking back half of my body and entrusting you with the task, but I really couldn't do it. ”

"Oh, of course. Shure squinted his eyes and said, "I wonder if you say that you trust my abilities and believe that I can succeed." ”

"You're good, I'm not kidding, you're really good. Anika gave Shure a deep look, "I owe you a favor, not Luna, but you, a mortal. ”

"All glory be to my lord, Lord Anika. Shur drew a circle on his chest with his finger, "I am the apostle of the Dark Moon, the Lord's will, that is, my will, praise the Dark Moon, holy." ”

"Little one, these little tricks have been used on me by thousands of apostles, and each one has been more than once, do you think it will work on me? Anika paused, "Tell me, what you want in return, as long as I can do it, I will do my best to meet your request." ”

It was a rather frightening promise, and the gods made such a promise to mortals that had never been seen in history, at least in recorded history. This is not a reward given by the gods, but a real effort, even if Shur says that he wants Anika to help him replace a certain god and become one of the main gods of Pavatiga, Anika is very likely to help with all his might, whether he can do it is one thing, but at least it will not be perfunctory. With such a promise, any mortal can be regarded as having stepped into the realm of gods.

However, Shul did not ask for anything, but showed a faint smile, not a mocking smile, but a smile that was difficult to understand. With a faint smile, Shuer thought leisurely: "Lord Anika, isn't it too early to talk about this, shouldn't we go over first, wake up half of your body from your slumber, let you recover your integrity, and then discuss topics such as reward? ”

"No, you don't need to change the subject and delay time. "How could Lord Anika not see Shuer's thoughts, "Since I made a promise, even if there is an accident, I will not take it back, so ...... Or do you want to tell me that you are working hard to complete my mission, and that you are really just for the small benefit that you agreed with me before? As long as you dare to nod your head, I will dare to take it seriously. ”

Of course, Shuer didn't dare to nod, joking, how could he watch the benefits in his hand fly away, this is a good opportunity that is rare in ten thousand years, whether it is for the church or for himself, the opportunity is completely exchanged for his brain and life, if he really misses it, I am afraid that he will wake up crying when he sleeps.

However, the more opportunities he had, the calmer he became, and after a moment of silence, Shure smiled and thought, "The only thing I want is that until the Great Rift and the apocalyptic catastrophe are resolved, you will be on my lord's side, no matter what happens." ”

"As I said, Shule, I'm asking 'you' what you want, I'll negotiate with Luna about her, and I just want to know your wishes now. Anika spoke in a disgruntled tone, as if blaming Shure for wasting her spirit, "Do you think my promise is worthless, huh?"

"It seems that you have misunderstood, Lord Anika, that I am talking about what 'I' want, not what I wish to fight for my lord. Shur also became serious, his attitude was more serious than ever, "This is what I really think, and I hope you will always be on my lord's side." ”

"You are serious. Anika withdrew her gaze, but the confusion in her consciousness did not subside, "Can you tell me why? Aside from the fact that you are Luna's follower and think about her wholeheartedly, I can see that you are indeed for her, but you also have your own selfish intentions." ”

"I do have selfish intentions. Shuer hesitated for a moment, subconsciously looked around, and thought with a wry smile, "I once had a terrible dream. ”

"Huh?"

"In the dream, the gods of Parvadiga split within and reignited the flames of war. That war ended with the fall of our Lord, and indirectly led to the final destruction of the world, and everything was out of control, although I don't know why, but it would not be a good thing to think about it. For the first time, Shul spoke to someone about the nightmare he had never forgotten, "Anyway, I don't want to see that happen in reality." ”

"Oh, it looks like in your dreams, I'm on the opposite side of Luna?"

"Yes, you're on the other side. Shuer subconsciously glanced at Anika, Anika felt that Shul was looking at herself, but only Shul himself knew who he was looking at, "I don't know if it was a warning from my lord, or an occasional prophetic dream, or just a gratuitous nightmare caused by cranky thoughts, none of this matters, I just hope to prevent it from happening at the root, heh, whether it's true or not, as long as it doesn't happen, what do you say?"

"Understood. Anika thought for a moment and nodded thoughtfully, "I can't guarantee that I can always be on Luna's side, I can only say do my best, but I can assure you that I will never let Moria, the child, stand on your side, hey, this is your real purpose." ”

"Oh, praise the evergreen tree. Shuer's smile was bright, "I am immensely grateful for your generosity and kindness. ”

"Sure enough, I'm worried that it will be a hassle if you do join us by then. Anika glared at Shuer, and said angrily, "The payment has been paid, and you are satisfied, now it's time to talk about my half-body." ”

"This ......," Shul was stunned, "is there something wrong?"

"You know, Shure, plants are never alone. "The denser the tree, the more so, and its interior is sometimes a miniature world inhabited by countless lives. ”

"Huh?" said Shuer, who understood, raised an eyebrow, "and now?"

"Look. ”

Looking in the direction of Moria's body, a small, streamlined spaceship emerged from the cracks in the branches, hovering next to the branches, as if it was observing two uninvited guests.
