All the tall trees had died, not a single leaf left, only the trunks, and in the distance it was a gray-white city wall glowing green, and like a rock covered with a thin layer of moss.

That's absolutely unnatural.

Someone had noticed this strange jungle for a long time, and people, including magicians, had never been able to find a way to enter it, but in the process, they were able to determine how it existed.

It was an ancient magic that used the power of essence to help plants grow, causing three different plants to coexist and form a strong wall in an environment where there was a lack of water and sunlight.

After the growth of this section of the wall, the power of magic began to wane, and the trees died first, but the vines and thorns still grew.

With dead wood as the skeleton, the vines are weaving into a large sturdy web, while the shrubs have adapted to the environment and begin to spread outward, taking up all the space inward.

In the end, what appeared in front of everyone was a carpet that was absolutely impenetrable.

Professor Granger thought for a moment, "But I don't remember anything in that direction?"

Someone once looked down from the sky above this dense forest in an airship, and all he saw was a spiked hell mixed with gray and green.

On the other side of the jungle is another lord's territory, and there are no white castles at all.

Magellan smiled helplessly.

Then Professor Granger understood what he meant, "You mean, that Swan Castle is right down in the woods?"

Before Magellan could say anything, Professor Granger began to shake his head: "That's impossible, no plant can ......"

Then he stopped.

This unnatural jungle wasn't a plant in the first place, it was some powerful magic.

"Who is that...... For what?"

Magellan let out a long sigh: "They are the Schmidt family, as for why, it should be to seal off that castle, so that something inside can never escape." ”

Granger was silent.

Then the door opened, and Arthur entered.

"Guess what I saw?"

"The essence fluctuations of the power of the ancient runiwen?"

Professor Granger guessed right.

"Part of that Thorn of Death, definitely the result of Ru Niven's magic, and it felt exactly like what I had encountered at the graveyard. ”

"So your guess is right. ”

Professor Granger let out a long sigh.

"Magic so powerful that for a long time it was thought to be a remnant of supernatural power, a desperate puzzle, and now the answer is in sight. ”

Magellan smiled: "I don't have time to study this important discovery, so I can only ask you to help find the answer." ”

"Let me think about it," Professor Granger said, taking out a pen and paper and starting to lay out the research plan, "First, we're going to take samples......

"No, Professor," Arthur smiled and shook his head, "first, we're going to enter the castle. ”

"If you don't know what kind of power holds up that thorn, then you can't walk through the forest, you can't get into the castle, you can't get anything inside. ”

Professor Granger laughed, knowing that Arthur was a bounty hunter.

"Well, you're right, but I must add," Arthur shrugged casually, "everything in that castle belongs to the baron, and what we can take is subject to his permission." ”

"I'll allow you to take anything. ”

The baron walked into the room with a tired face, he had just returned from his family's graveyard, where he seemed to have thought through a lot of questions.

"I just want to see the sea. ”

"We'll see. ”

"As for what my ancestors left behind, take it if you need it. ”

Magellan was stunned for a moment.

"It's not mine, and if the ancestors wanted to leave them to me, they wouldn't be hidden where no one could find them. ”

The baron's open-mindedness surprised the three Magellans, but he himself thought it was nothing.

"Anyway, if you want to take something, you have to find it first, and I will follow you, and whatever you take, I will see it first. ”

"You will soon see a real miracle," Magellan smiled, "and compared to the modest family cemetery, the Swan Castle is a beautiful building that amazes all kings." ”

......

The next morning, the four of Magellan walked out of the city together, and they walked long on the rugged mountain road, and when the sun began to radiate heat, they finally came to the thorny forest.

It's a terrifying forbidden place, and up close, the spikes on the bushes and vines glow with a metallic glow and a dangerous aura.

"As you can see, there is the power of Runiven's magic everywhere, and it is they that hold up this wall. ”

Standing in front of the jungle with his arms outstretched, Arthur unleashed a spell with a magic item, and then the fluctuations of the essence exposed the place where Runiven was.

"That's not the most troublesome part," Magellan said, taking the blindfold from his bosom and placing it on his head, "because it's a semi-natural system, stopping the magic won't allow us to pass through the walls." ”

"Such an elaborate design should never have gone into obscurity in the history of magic, but unfortunately I couldn't put that blindfold on......"

Professor Granger had been eager to put on the blindfold after hearing Magellan describe it, but unfortunately, he couldn't see what Magellan saw, and the blindfold itself rejected the professor, much to Granger's dismay.

"This blindfold can only see Runevan...... "Magellan walked around the bush, "I see it, on the trunk." ”

In Magellan's eyes, this dense forest is a network woven by the power of runewen, and every tree has a runivin on its trunk, which delays the decay of dead trees, weaves the growth trajectory of vines, and coexists with all life in this dense forest, at least for hundreds of years.

"This magic ......"

Magellan saw the familiar taste.

"I've definitely seen it. ”

When Magellan told Professor Granger about the system of magic, the professor fell into memory.

Then he suddenly shouted: "Druid!"

The so-called "druids" were a type of magic users in ancient Brittanya who were more like the priests of Theros than magicians, and possessed power that came from the reverence for something: the priests of Theros worshipped the gods, while the druids worshipped savage life force.

Considering that Brittany has always been the hardest hit area by the Esyad pirates, it's not surprising that a druid would use Runewen, but it's surprising that a druid would be here in the depths of the Holy Loren Empire.
