Chapter Seventy-Two: Observing in the Dark
The dark blue stars are like a shining ribbon that shines brightly, illuminating the entire island of Funen. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Under the quiet of the night, an inconspicuous meteor streaked across the sky, and the trajectory completely disappeared into the twilight, silently falling into a deserted and inhabited land.
Whew!
A cold and strong wind blew from the place where the meteorite fell with a dark breath, and the wind and sand mixed with the dead grass splashed like raindrops, and with the turbulence of the air current, a tall and straight figure came out of the crater.
β......β
The black-haired knight scanned the wilderness in front of him, a silent wilderness, the cold wind of withered grass and mud howling, like an isolated place of death.
"Isn't Funen one of the Valkyries' quarters...... How can this place be so desolate?"
Ya Lei was surprised in his heart, in order to avoid detection, he chose a place with few people to fly, and even landed carefully to avoid densely populated areas, but he didn't expect to find a no-man's land here.
Soon, he overturned his idea.
Suddenly two silver threads flashed in the deep blue sky, and then with the sound of a trumpet, a faint star swept through the west, emitting a dim yellow light.
The stars burned as they fell, and the dazzling golden light lit up vast swaths of the land.
Seeing this, the black-haired knight immediately avoided it, and his figure moved, and his feet seemed to shrink from the ground, and he stepped from the side of the crater to the barren grass hundreds of yards away, and disappeared into the grass like a ghost.
Boom!
The huge impact force set off a wave of burning and fiery air, and the earth illuminated by the strong light was golden, but at the center of the explosion, two sturdy silver figures collided at high speed like lightning, and countless slender light marks pierced through the strong light, staggering and flying as the figures moved.
Qiang!
With a loud clash of blades, the two figures retreated at the same time, separating from each other in the direction of the shockwave. The mist of smoke and dust gradually calmed down, the air returned to clarity, and the two warring sides revealed their true faces under the starry sky.
Both were women, dressed in light silver armor of the same standard, their faces hidden under the visor, and six pairs of winged crowns diagonally erected behind their helmets. Holding a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right, the streamlined armor clings to his skin, and the edge of the armor extends from the edge of the white skirt to the knees.
It is clear that they are all Valkyries affiliated with Valhalla Palace.
"It's a pity, after chasing it for so long, the champion jewelry is still mine after all. β
Sophia's eyes wandered to the orange citrine she had just caught, and inside was a pendantβa flawless white crystal set in a silver base, reflecting a rainbow of colors in the bright moonlight.
"Then you have to hold it tight, there are still three hours before the end of the trial, and before the last minute, it's impossible to say who will win or lose!"
Sigurudo's eyes shrank into a sharp point, raised the narrow long sword in his hand, leaned forward and pounced, his legs staggered like a horse, and he directly buried his head in the sprint, and suddenly gave birth to a tragic momentum out of thin air.
"Then it will make you so painful that you can't lift your sword!"
Sophia crushed the crystal, put the pendant into her bodice, her center of gravity sank, her knees and hips exerted force at the same time, her figure was like the wind, and she swept a sword light and pounced directly on the competitor.
The two Valkyries fought and walked, their figures moving endlessly, and soon they moved away from the land.
Soon after they disappeared, Yalei also stepped out of the wilderness, looking thoughtfully at the place where they had disappeared. He considered whether to kill these two little girls easily, but in order to avoid startling the snake, he finally gave up.
However, the two Valkyries were able to suddenly emerge from the no-man's land without warning, proving that Funen Island was indeed one of the Valkyries' quarters. The base is probably around here, and it seems to be shielded by a special concealment spell, and even the black-haired knight can't sense its presence.
After weighing the pros and cons, Yalei decided to find the Valkyrie's residence first, and her figure blurred for a while, as if a dim light had disappeared into the night, and she followed them not far away.
......
The two Valkyries, Sophia and Sigurudo, who were in the middle of the battle, did not realize that they were being followed at this time, and between the frequent flickering of their figures, a pair of snow-white wings suddenly grew behind them, hitting them from the ground to the air.
They belonged to the best of the Valkyries, but they were a little inadequate in front of Yalei, and he patiently watched the two of them fight for a long time, until there was a melodious horn sound in the sky.
"It's a pity, you're losing this time. β
Sophia covered her lips and chuckled, stretching her wings with a smile, and her figure suddenly leaped into the air like an arrow, dragging a glittering silver arc and speeding into the depths of the clouds.
β......β
Sigurudo followed her without hurrying, without speaking, and repeatedly lost to the same opponent, obviously hitting her hard.
Hoohoo!
At the end of their flight, the air currents in the sky suddenly turbulent, rolling like the tide of the sea, huge shadows spread out in all directions, and the edge of the clouds as black as ink suddenly turned a silvery white.
The silvery white light that covered everything spread outward with a few ripple-like ripples, and the towering giant tree showed its majestic form in the majestic air current. The dark green straight trunk of the tree goes deep from the depths of the clouds to the interior of the earth, and the top is deep in the thick clouds, and where the canopy branches and leaves stretch, there are slowly flowing clouds everywhere.
The branches in the canopy bear many attractively colored fruits, similar in shape to apples, but purple-red in the skin, each the size of a house, with door panels, vents, and fire holes, apparently used as a sentry post by the Valkyries.
The whole trunk was as large as a mountain, and there was no trace of artificial excavation, only a naturally formed tree hole, and Sophia and Sigurudo gathered their wings and landed in front of the largest tree hole, and walked straight in.
With bursts of loud and crisp cheers, the clouds converged like a receding tide, and the silvery-white bright light melted into the void. The branches and leaves of the giant tree were covered in a thin layer of liquid silver ripples, and in an instant only the outline of the lines remained, and then disappeared completely.
"I see, the rhizomes of the World Tree are spread all over the peninsula, and the branches also have the ability to generate secondary worlds. Funen Island is one of the locations of the branches, so they use it as a station, so ordinary people only know that the base exists, but they don't know where it is. β
Not far away, in the clouds, Areh witnessed the entire erasure of the giant tree, and after a moment's pause, it fell back to the ground.
"The World Tree is interconnected, and it is inferred that the Valkyries and their vassal armies can quickly assemble anywhere on the peninsula from within the World Tree. β
While falling towards the wilderness, the black-haired knight was still analyzing the information obtained, and suddenly his eyes lit up:
"In that case...... That means I only need to open one of the branches to drive straight inside the World Tree!"
