Chapter 918: Black Forest, World Tree

Leo was sorting through the Black Forest materials as he absorbed the contents.

As he had predicted, the real Black Forest was definitely not as simple as he had seen, it was just a forest, it was actually a world, a world that might be bigger than the Viren continent and the Minsk continent together, and such a big world was not just one, but countless pieces.

Just like the Luxury Forest, the Black Forest seems to be part of a huge tree, and each layer of branches and leaves constitutes a world, but unlike the Luxury Forest, which can directly connect the various layers of the world, the Black Forest does not have a visible backbone that connects the upper and lower worlds, only invisible passages that cannot be seen, and some are like subspaces.

According to the information provided by the light people, the world composed of each layer of branches and leaves is independent, for example, the world they are in now is called the Night Realm, which is divided into more than 20 regions, one of which is managed by a different powerful existence, and these powerful existences are undoubtedly ancient existences that fled to the Black Forest for refuge.

There is no information provided by the Light People as to what these beings are called, where their domains are, etc., because she has never been to those places, and she can only piece together a relatively complete map of the territory from the few memories in the brains of some Black Forest creatures who have accidentally broken into here.

In addition, those with a strong presence have their own names, while those without names are all called by the Black Forest.

The white deer has a lofty status in the entire Black Forest world, and the reason why the light people have it is only because the white deer has taught here for a while, but not every living creature living in the Black Forest reveres the white deer so much, in fact, in the eyes of many powerful beings who have mastered a field, the status of the white deer is not higher than them, and some are even hostile to the white deer.

What really caught Leo's attention was the way to get to the Deer Park Forest, and the way provided by Hikari was very simple, which was to go to the nearest mirror lake, where there was a direct passage to the Deer Park Forest, and you could go directly to the Deer Park Forest by jumping into the lake.

It's just that it's a bit troublesome to get to Mirror Lake, one is a straight route, and you need to pass through two troublesome places, one is called Xiaoluyuan, and the other is the edge of the territory controlled by a powerful being.

As the name suggests, Little Deer Park is a copy of the Deer Park, which is where some of the branches of the deer park inhabited by creatures live, and there are such places in many places in the Black Forest, and Little Deer Park is their collective name.

Because of their relationship with the deer park, they have a certain status in the Black Forest, and it also makes them do some out-of-the-ordinary things by virtue of their special status.

Once someone harms them, it is easy to arouse the hostility of the deer park, which in turn will cause the entire Black Forest to have a repulsive force, which is absolutely fatal to those who inhabit the Black Forest, so it will be difficult to get through places like the Little Deer Park safely without causing trouble.

However, this is not too much trouble for Leo, because the contract ring that Leo is wearing represents his identity, and the creatures in the fawn park will not offend the person who wears the contract ring.

Compared to the Little Deer Park, the real trouble is actually the area controlled by the powerful being, and the light people don't know much about that area, the only thing they know is that the creatures of the Black Forest are very afraid of that area, so afraid that they don't even want to approach the edge of that area.

If you don't take this closest straight line, then you need to take a detour, and the distance you will go around will be very far, and how far it is, and the light people don't know very well, but they know that there was once a bird that inhabited the Black Forest and flew a full moon for a full forty months to reach Mirror Lake.

I don't know how much time it takes for forty full moons to be converted into the world of Vilon, but from the information provided by the people of light, there is no day in this world, it is all night, so it is called the night realm, and the moon hanging in the sky is the only time standard, and there is no standard for how much time is converted into a full moon, but it is estimated that it is at least forty or fifty days.

In this way, if you take a detour to draw a painting, it may take several years, and that is still the speed of flight, not the speed of walking.

So, if you don't want to waste your time, you have to choose to walk in a straight line through the territory controlled by an ancient and powerful being.

In addition to his knowledge of geographical routes, Leo also had a great deal of knowledge about most of the species in the Black Forest, which at least kept him from being unable to find the right way to deal with certain transcendent creatures.

After Leo sorted out all the knowledge systems, his attention returned to the part of this knowledge about the overall form of this world, although there was no mention of what the complete form of this world looked like in the information given by the light people, but Leo still thought of the World Tree Creation Theory transmitted from the Moisan Continent from the division of the various layers of the world similar to the Luxury Forest.

The World Tree Creation Theory only appeared in the mainstream society of the Vilun World very late, and it was only when the Moisan Continent was discovered in the Vilun Continent and the Minsk Continent one after another, and when the Moissanite Continent began to be colonized and the wasteland tribes began to communicate, this creation theory was transmitted from the Moisan Continent to the other two continents.

It's just that because this creation theory is contrary to the mainstream religious texts of the Vilun world, it has been suppressed by the various true God churches with the Orthodox Church as the core, and even the underground church is extremely disgusted with this creation theory, until the last two hundred years, the church's control has begun to weaken, and the creation theory of the world tree has reappeared, and it has been accepted as a kind of folk tale.

In the creation theory of the World Tree, the World Tree is the main body of the entire big world, and the stars, moon, and sun in the sky are all the fruits of the World Tree, while the Velond World is just a certain leaf of the World Tree.

This kind of World Tree creation theory seems very absurd to the vast majority of people in the Vilun world, but it is widely spread in the wasteland of Moissan, and almost every shaman knows this legend well, whether they believe in it or not, some people who believe in this legend have even established some church-like beliefs in turn, such as the witch Tessa Mocha's belief that the way of nature is the belief with the World Tree as the core.

After thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but think of the World Tree seed mark on his body, which was derived from the mother tree seed in Tessa Mocha's body.

In the way of nature that Tessa Mocha believes, there is a mother tree in the world formed by each leaf of the World Tree, which is the projection of the World Tree in the leaf world.

This projection does not last forever, and after a period of time, the mother tree withers and decays and eventually dies, and when he dies, he grows a seed that germinates and grows again, eventually becoming the new mother tree.

Although it was only a projection of the World Tree, it was actually a part of the World Tree, so Leo thought that if the Black Forest was also part of the World Tree, then the World Tree Seed Mark in his body would definitely be able to exert unexpected power here.

Thinking of this, Leo immediately tentatively activated the power of the World Tree Seed in his body.

Almost as soon as Leo activated the power in the imprint, Leo felt as if he was completely integrated into the world around him, and all the energies of the whole world resonated with him, and although he could not use those energies, he would not be repelled and harmed by those energies.

It's just that Leo quickly withdrew from this state and stopped excites the World Tree Seed Imprint, because he found that the resonance reaction was still dominated by him at first, but soon this resonance reaction became passive acceptance, and if it continued, then there was only one result, that is, he would be swallowed by the resonance reaction and merge with the surroundings.

Although it was only a short passive bearing, the energy impact generated by the resonance reaction also had a certain impact on his body, this effect was bad and good, the bad part was that his body was injured a little because of this impact, and this injury may not be able to be treated well with wizard potions, the good thing is that this impact actually caused a counterattack of the body's blood power, so that his control of blood power has improved a lot.

After calming down his discomfort, Leo opened his eyes to check on Sylvia's condition, but at this time, Hikarito was standing in front of him, bent over, and his featureless face was facing him.

Although he had no facial features, Leo could still feel the gaze falling on him.

"What's the matter?" asked Leo in a deep voice.

"Did I feel the Lord's breath in you just now?" Hikari said, straightening up.

"Lord?" Leo thought of the World Tree Seed Imprint.

"Impossible, how can you have the breath of the Lord in you?" Hikari quickly denied himself what he had just felt, and then said to Leo, "You can wait a while and leave! I'm about to fall asleep, this place will be temporarily closed, and if you are still here, it may be dangerous." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Leo to reply, the whole person sank into the ground and disappeared.

Leo didn't think much of it, packed up the contents of the makeshift camp, then checked Sylvia's situation, put it on his back, and walked out of the clearing.

At the moment when he walked out of the clearing, a strong energy storm suddenly erupted in the clearing, and Leo, who was just on the edge of the storm, also felt the pressure and had to build several layers of psionic energy shields to barely resist this energy storm.

After the storm subsided, the clearing disappeared from Leo's eyes, and the original clearing was already overgrown with a large number of towering trees, and it didn't look like a clearing existed just now.

Leo only glanced at where the clearing had been, and without exploring where it had gone, he turned around and walked towards the direction of the Mirror Lake that he had obtained from the data.

On the way, Leo also discovered some snoopers hiding in the surrounding forest through his supernormal five senses, but these snoopers only stopped at snooping in the shadows, and none of them made any moves, not even those who could clearly feel the hostility did not attack Leo, but only watched Leo leave the area under their control.

"It seems that this contract ring works better than expected. Leo looked at the contract ring in his hand and muttered to himself.

Because there was no obstacle, although Leo was carrying a person on his back, he was still moving fast, according to his estimates, he had walked at least two or three hundred kilometers in an hour, but what puzzled him was that a landmark mentioned in the information provided by Hikari to identify the location still did not appear in his eyes.

At first, Leo thought he was going in the wrong direction, so he climbed to the top of the tree and looked around, and when he saw the landmark in the distance, where his eyes could barely see the limit distance of the object, he realized that he might have been mistaken about one thing, and that was distance.

Obviously, Hikari has never left the clearing where she is, and all the knowledge comes from the minds of those extraordinary creatures of the Black Forest who strayed into the clearing, and those creatures' judgment of distance is also because of themselves, so the location landmark that can be reached quickly in cognition is obviously impossible to reach in a short time when placed here for him.

This discovery also made Leo have some doubts about his previous judgment based on the data, but the suspicion was very small, and he did not intend to change his original decision and choose to take a detour, but still made the same decision as before, and walked straight through the territory controlled by a mysterious being.

"Put me down! I feel better. At this time, Sylvia also gradually recovered from a semi-comatose state, and she leaned on Leo's back and looked at the surrounding scenery, and said.

Leo didn't insist, and lowered Sylvia from his back, helped her to stand on a tough branch beside her, and then explained the route he had chosen.

Sylvia frowned, questioned slightly, and said, "Wouldn't it be a bit risky to directly break through the territory controlled by the mysterious being? After all, we don't know if that mysterious existence is dangerous?"

"I couldn't predict if there was danger, but it took too long to take a detour and I didn't want to waste too much time on the road. Leo responded, thought for a moment, and explained: "It stands to reason that the moment I enter the Black Forest, Bailu should have noticed it, found me, and completed the transaction, because Bailu attaches great importance to this ring. But now that Bailu has not appeared, and not even a little information has been transmitted, then there is only one possibility, that is, something happened to Bailu, so that he had to put aside the contract ring for the time being. I don't know exactly what trouble Bailu is in, but I don't want this trouble to affect my transaction in the end, because what Bailu has to offer is important to me, so I will choose the shortest time to go to the Deer Park Forest to complete this transaction. ”

After listening to Leo's explanation, Sylvia didn't say anything, just nodded and agreed with Leo's decision.
