Chapter 369: Silhouette in the Forest
Alyssa came up with a very feasible plan, and Phoenix rarely did not raise objections, and she was puzzled by the mysterious phenomenon that the Emerald Forest monsters could transform into human form. You must know that she made a huge effort to transform into human form with Harrow and McCallis, and she would definitely not be able to reach this point without enough strength to support her.
But the young wolf named Timi was pitifully weak.
It seems that the truth can only be found by finding Barendav or arriving at the monster village chief that the old man said.
When they were about to set off to pursue the Adventurer's Guild, Lin Qiu suddenly received a mysterious "phone call". The voice on the other end of the "phone" was very familiar, to be honest, it was the first time that Lin Qiu had heard that person's voice since the end of the incident with O'Farlan.
So he hung up the "phone" as soon as possible.
"I'm sorry, Tyr isn't at home, please call back in 1000 years."
Lin Qiu simulated such a voice in his heart.
In fact, when the "poison" lent to him by the aberrant directly drove Ulusos into a rage, he had already added the other party to his blacklist. Lin Qiu didn't want to hear the distorted sound again for at least 1,000 years, so in order to persuade the other party to retreat, he also simulated the busy sound of "Dididi-" by the way.
"Hey, little ghost, I'm doing this to help you grow!"
It is impossible to say that he is not weak-hearted, he didn't lend Lin Qiu any of his own strength at that time, he hoped that Lin Qiu would defeat the enemy named Goeben through his own strength, he knew that Lin Qiu was at a very delicate time, as long as he went further, this kid might be able to touch the threshold of the domain level. The aberration witnessed the battle between Lin Qiu and Ulusos in the spirit world by staying in the seal, and the overwhelming blue pillar of light was really shocking.
If he could exert these two powers without the help of Ukiyue, then with further guidance, Lin Qiu would really be able to enter the realm level - and he would also become the first Knight of the Round Table to step into that realm after Gawain.
So, he's a lot of hard work!
"The person you are calling is on a call, please wait 1500 years before dialing. In response to his painstaking words, this is the passage.
"I'm looking for you for something very important! And why is it that all of a sudden another 500 years!?"
"Because you've been blacklisted by me. ”
"You're listening!" The distortion at the bottom of Spiral City became extremely excited, and the prisoners around him stared at him curiously. It's rare for an aberration to be like this, and after a successful escape, the status of the aberration among the inmates has increased considerably.
The distortion was also a little angry, but he contacted Lin Qiu as soon as he found out that something was wrong.
"The forest in front of you is abnormal!"
"What's out of the ordinary? If you can tell me why, I'll consider giving you a reduction of one day, and then you'll have to wait another 364 days for 1499 to reach me. ”
"It's okay to do anything like this!" The blue veins on his distorted forehead flared up, he could even imagine Lin Qiu's mocking expression, if he stood in front of Lin Qiu now, he would have to have a jungle hand-to-hand fight with the other party before proceeding to the next conversation. Aberration took a deep breath before saying, "I've heard of this Emerald Forest, and it seems to have life. ”
"You're not talking nonsense, the forest is full of plants, and all plants are alive!" Lin Qiu used the definition of biology to fight back against the aberration.
"I'm talking about 'life' in another sense. Aberration said immediately.
In his ...... Before becoming a prisoner of Spiral City, he happened to pass by this place called the Emerald Forest while on a mission, and it was an unknown number of years ago. The reason why he remembered it vividly was that when he set foot in this forest, a group of monsters surrounded him.
At that time, the First Demon Tide War had just ended, and the relationship between humans and monsters was still a little ...... Nervous.
However, there was no fight between them, and the monsters welcomed him to the village and gave him many forest specialties, which were already capable of taking on human form in those days. Of course, if it were all there was to it, the aberration would only treat it as a good memory, but beyond the passionate monsters, there was something more mysterious about the forest.
"The old man told you about the existence of Lake Gallon, and I remember that night when I came to the lake, and when I looked at the lake by the moonlight, I had a vague vision of the future...... The Black Death, the panicked crowds, and the Church's urgent dispatch of the Inquisition, it wasn't until after my inscription went viral that I understood what the reflection in the lake meant. ”
The aberration had spent a lot of time in the Emerald Forest, and in addition to the prophetic reflections, he had seen visions.
Companions, relatives, and friends who died in the war, one by one, inadvertently, he saw the translucent silhouettes of the dead in the forest, and those silhouettes did nothing, just stood at a distance and watched him quietly. When he runs past, the silhouette disappears without a trace.
"You mean the forest is haunted?"
"More precisely, there seems to be some hidden force here. ”
"That towering tree. Lin Qiu had a guess in his heart. It seems that Alyssa's reasoning is correct, and Barendav must have sensed something when he went deep into the forest at this juncture.
"Imp. ”
The distortion interrupted Lin Qiu's thoughts, and he suddenly asked, "Guess, what is the reason why I came here at that time?"
Before the Engraving Rampage, the Alien had been a knight of the Church, and at that time, the Taine had not yet been established, and there was nothing but a vast forest, but the territory of this area was outside the division of the Helutian League. Generally speaking, the Church does not easily send its own knights out of an alliance unless they encounter a confidential but important mission.
"Say, I'll consider giving you a 10-day reduction. ”
"Ancestor-level monsters. The headquarters received news that someone in a neutral country had seen an existence similar to an ancestor-level monster, but according to his description, this ancestor-level monster did not belong to any of the ones we knew, in other words, it was very likely to be the eighth ancestor-level monster...... The one that didn't follow the other monsters to invade Akarando, and its abilities remain a mystery to us. ”
The last time I visited, the distortion didn't make any valuable discoveries.
Aside from a series of strange phenomena, the Emerald Forest seems to be inhabited only by a number of peace-loving humanoid monsters.
"That tree, and Lake Gallon, I'm curious what you can see in the reflection......"
"Tyr, Tyr!"
Phoenix's whisper in his ear interrupted the conversation, and Lin Qiu was pulled back to reality. He turned his head and glared at Phoenix in confusion.
"What are you doing all of a sudden? Alyssa went out and never came back!"
After Phoenix finished speaking, Lin Qiu realized that he and Phoenix were the only ones left in the wooden house. Alyssa left in such a hurry that even Urusus, who had been with her recently, was left on the table.
Before leaving, she seemed to see a strange figure outside the window. ”
Phoenix added.
