The Sacred Tree and Lake Gallon are the products of the divine power of human sages and monster leaders. The surface of Lake Gallon is like a mirror, and if you look at the lake, you can clearly reflect the sins of the meditator's heart.

The monster Papo said that the Lake of Gallon was a place for the demons to meditate, and the reason why they tried to avoid killing was because once their hands were stained with human blood, their souls would be tortured forever, and the power of the sacred tree and the lake would magnify their sins step by step and become a nightmare.

The village chief forbade them to kill the humans who entered the Emerald Forest not out of kindness, but for the sake of the monsters themselves.

The village chief said that no matter what the reason for depriving oneself of one's life, the evil obstacles committed can never be washed away. Robin added that although she didn't quite understand the deeper meaning of the village chief's words for the time being, she knew that the village chief would rather let all the monsters hide than face the humans and provoke a war.

When Papo threatened to seek revenge on humans, the village chief directly locked him up for a month, and ordered Papo to wake up in front of Lake Gallen every day.

It was then that Papo found himself forming a very subtle bond with the Emerald Forest. That's why he had to quicken his pace, and at this moment he could sense through this connection that something was going on in the depths of the forest. He smelled the scent of blood, and he also vaguely felt the despair and pain of the deceased.

"The forest told me that your friend went to Lake Gallon. Papo said.

Through his own strong perception, he witnessed the behavior of Lin Qiu and others in rescuing the forest rangers before, and he was very grateful and willing to help these friendly outsiders. However, he also felt the murderous aura of Sen Ran from Phoenix and Alyssa, who had both experienced war.

The Emerald Forest is terrifying their arrival.

The boy who calls himself Tyr-Cyrus is different, and he doesn't seem to be ostracized by the Emerald Forest.

"You mean Alyssa, didn't she go to set up camp?" Lin Qiu's heart was a little uneasy, he vaguely remembered the conversation between Ramov and himself before leaving. With Ramov's indisputable personality, he regarded the former Alyssa as an unstable existence, and it was not difficult for Lin Qiu to imagine the former Alyssa.

Something seemed to lead her there. "The closer you get to Lake Gallon, the stronger the sense of ominousness becomes.

"So...... What will Alyssa see in the lake?"

It depends on the extent of her sin. The robin replied, "If you have killed only one person, you will see the reflection of that person in the lake." The village chief said that the undead did not exist to ask for the meditator's life, but to remind her of the sins she had committed in the past, which were judgments from the soul, and that the sage wanted to cleanse the souls of the meditators and bring them to peace in this way. But...... It seems that no one has ever been able to truly achieve calm, and the actual effect is counterproductive, and it always inspires the meditator to kill more intensely. ”

"That'...... What if the Meditator killed more than one person?"

"If you kill two people, you will be tortured twice, and if you kill three people, you will be tormented twice!" robin tilted her head and thought about it, and she had asked the village chief the same question out of curiosity: "If you kill many, many people, so many that you can't even remember it......"

Well......

"Honestly, I don't know what's going to happen, but there shouldn't be such a person, right?" asked Robin innocently.

"That kind of person exists. ”

The monster Papo said after a while.

"For sinners who have committed so many sins, that there is no cure for them, they will not see the ghosts of the past in the lake...... but these things were not taught to him by the village chief, but he saw them with his own eyes on the clear surface of Lake Gallon. That night, he was full of dissatisfaction and resentment and was sent to the front of Gallon Lake by the village chief, and when he meditated, he kept thinking about the monsters that had been taken away by humans, and the anger and hatred in his heart were irrepressible.

Then, in the lake, he saw monsters bathed in blood, with twisted facial features, using the blood-colored trident in their hands to slaughter humans one by one.

"Anyway, it's still you. 』

Lake Gallon said to him.

To this day, when he recalls the reflection in the lake, Papo still feels creepy.

"What those people see is the devil in their hearts. ”

......

Deep in the forest, in front of the sacred tree.

The sound of footsteps from far and near caused a ripple on the calm surface of Lake Gallon, followed by a strong smell of blood. Out of the bushes stepped a staggering middle-aged man, dragging a greatsword, the undried blood of the blade staining the branches and leaves of the bushes.

The middle-aged man looked like a complete drunk, his eyes looked extremely cloudy, and the whole person looked a little crazy.

He was Barendav, one of the generals of the Twenty-Three Neutral States.

But after tonight, when he gained the power of the Sacred Tree, he was no longer "just" a general. He didn't want to let a stinking little girl dictate, but he needed more to go further. He had quite a few "competitors", Jacobela, Warren, Jim......

Barendav felt like he had never been more sober than he was now.

It wasn't an easy journey - it was a strange forest, as they say, and he saw in the depths of the forest the enemies he had killed, and they all turned into demons and pounced on him, so he had to kill the poor ghosts a second time.

Since he can kill them once, he can easily kill them a second or third time......

However, the fighting power of the "undead" was not very good, and Barendav felt that when he cut them down, it was like chopping melons and vegetables, and within a few minutes, the undead who besieged him were slaughtered. After that, it was a rather calm road. And now, he finally stood in front of the sacred tree.

Lake Gallon is as clear as they say, and the emerald forest under the stars is tranquil and remote.

Then, Barendav's footsteps stopped.

He saw a woman at the end of the lake, and he tilted his head for a moment to find that he could not remember where he had seen her. But this is also something that cannot be helped, before the establishment of the alliance of the twenty-three neutral countries, he has experienced decades of war, who can remember the face of everyone he killed?

There is no concept of a man, a woman, an old man, or a child on the battlefield, and as long as he rushes at him with a sword, he is all an enemy.

It didn't matter who the woman on the other side of the lake was, Barendav had a hunch that he would be the last enemy he faced.

He took two more steps forward, and the sound of the greatsword dragging on the ground caught the other's attention.

The woman looked up and looked at him for a moment.

Barendave's maniacal smile froze, and his steps involuntarily stopped—the moment they looked at each other, he saw that it was no longer the good-looking woman from before, but a giant monster made of flesh and blood, whose faces twisted together, let out a warning roar at him.
