The forest is not very wide, maybe it was a large forest a hundred years ago, a thousand years or even ten thousand years ago, but it has gradually shrunk after the accumulation of a lot of human greed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Winter, cold winter, basically no plants can survive, except for those in the north who have to endure the long winter, basically only plants that grow in the far north can survive in this cold, right?

The sound of the horses galloping briskly showed the sparseness of the surrounding trees, but Hong Qi was not glad about it.

...... The temperature gets colder the further north it gets, but it shouldn't have been cold to this extent in previous years, so is it that the ice age is about to begin?

Ice Age, which represents the ice god who died in the original war of the gods in the world of Flora, had a curse on the existence that killed him before he died, and this curse was used by nature to evolve into periodic freezes, which is also known as the Ice Age.

As for the name of the glacier, it refers to the tributaries of the Endless Sea in the south, the Lake Osai and the Dota River, which are not subject to changes by weather for many years, and once they are frozen, they represent the arrival of the ice age.

Never mind...... Anyway, if the ice age is really coming, it may not be a bad thing for me, after all, I am still a penguin, and I should be able to exert more strength in cold weather.

Of course, the premise is that I have to be extraordinary first, really...... This cold winter has made my blood explode at any time.

During the Ice Age, all living beings had to experience the cold that seemed to freeze life, and in an ecology that usually does not have access to low temperatures, this would be the most devastating blow, but it was the opposite for the abandonment.

He still spends a lot of strength to resist the impulse given by the bloodline, it seems that as the temperature drops, he feels that his strength is constantly increasing slightly, and this growth will become the focus of breaking through the shackles of the bloodline, once he breaks through, it is equivalent to obtaining a second demonic beast talent, which will also make Hong Qi a transcendent demonic beast.

He didn't dare to imagine that if he hadn't become a transcendent mage when he became a transcendent demonic beast, any guess would be that he would die and not be able to die again, or better yet, he would be controlled by the tyranny of the demonic beast itself, and then become a terrifying demonic beast that could use magic.

You must know that wildness and wisdom can actually coexist, but the premise is that reason can control wildness, otherwise the whole person will become a monster that follows the impulse of the wild.

The size of the forest itself was indeed not large, and it took Hong Qi and his party less than half an hour to successfully cross this forest.

"The forest here is crying......"

When they were all assembled, Aronia uttered these sad words.

"Because it is inevitable that human beings will destroy nature. Hong Qi responded calmly to the other party.

The reason for the inevitability is very simple, in Hong Qi's view, the reason why humans and nature were able to coexist peacefully in the early years is very simple, that is, human beings do not have a high demand for natural resources, and they do not have the tools to efficiently collect natural resources.

But as time progresses and the technology of the Amon Dynasty continues to improve, this relative equilibrium will eventually be broken, and humanity will face a natural counterattack.

"I don't know why, I can only feel a little bit of hatred and sadness towards us, and it may take the druids to know what they think. ”

As she spoke, there was a sad expression on the female elf's face, perhaps because the elves themselves were beings living in peace with nature, and after seeing those trees with that expression, she also became sad.

At this time, Hong Qi dismounted alone, took out a bottle of special medicine from his pocket, and directly opened the lid to let the green liquid in it fall into the nearby trees, and suddenly those trees actually exuded a trace of life.

"It's a potion I've recently successfully configured, the ingredients in it can make the plants more vigorous, and at the same time, they can also stimulate their original life to fight against foreign enemies. ”

Some beings can stimulate their instincts in the face of difficult situations and use them to get through them, and the main purpose of this potion is to help plants do this.

"Thank you......" The female elf thanked her, knowing that Hong Qi's behavior should be because of herself.

The kind of potion that can stimulate the source of life and restore part of the vitality should be very precious.

"Well, let's keep walking, I'll do my best to help if I can, and I can't force me if I can't. ”

As he spoke, Hong Qi felt that there seemed to be a small amount of power gathered in his body around him, but it disappeared in an instant.

Merit, or is it natural friendship? Forget it......

Feeling the sudden increase in power, Hong Qi didn't say much.

When they left, the dead trees were drifting in the wind, which seemed to everyone to say goodbye to Hong Qi and his party.

The forest soon passed, and the rest of the group saw a distant area with a large number of human buildings.

"Well, this is supposed to be the legendary gray area, right?" Swallow Gu asked his companions excitedly.

Although it was the first time she had come out, a lot of relevant information had actually been brought back by the Prairie Priests when they traveled, so the Swallow Ancient also knew about the gray area.

The gray area, which is adjacent to two kingdoms, or sometimes even three kingdoms, is usually the living area of robbers, thieves, etc., and the large gray area can form structures such as disordered towns.

The rules there are towns made up of conflicting kingdoms and some of the powers, and are responsible for establishing a stable order here.

Of course, once they leave the town, or if they don't have enough connections in the town, then they can't guarantee the safety of their lives.

"By the way, have you figured it out? It's said that if you don't have enough connections in Discord, even if you're extraordinary, you might be cheated by them. Gordon said.

"Oh, there's no need to worry, I guess they're scared of running into me over here, right?"

Touching the metal brand that Jackson Qiang gave before he left, there was the number seven on it, which also represented Hong Qi's status in a toothy smile.

Seven Chiefs, Hung Abandoned.

"Let's go, hopefully find a place to live tonight. ”

Looking at the sun that was about to set in the distance, Hong Qi said.

Most of the towns of the Amun Dynasty had a curfew system, and no one could enter or leave the town at night without a special order or in a special capacity, although the curfew itself was only valid for certain large cities.

Coincidentally, the disordered town itself is a large city, and it also imposes a so-called curfew to check if anyone can come and go at night.

This is the strange thing about the disorderly town, which seems to have no order, but only ignores some of the kingdom's laws.

The carriage quickly moved away from the edge of the gray area where it had been and headed towards the disorderly town.

At this moment, in the middle of the disorderly town, a customer arrives in a small bar.

As soon as he saw the waiters, he said to them, "I'm sorry, I'm looking for your boss." ”

As he spoke, he handed the other party three gold coins.

"I'm sorry, but our boss won't meet anyone else. ”

Looking at the glittering gold coin, the waiter swallowed his saliva, and in a moment of hesitation, he remembered the sternness of his boss, and finally he returned the gold coin in front of him to the other party with great self-restraint.

"Hahaha! yes, yes, just kidding, if you really get it casually, something bad will happen. ”

As he spoke, the man patted the other party on the shoulder and laughed, and at the same time gave him another sentence again: "Tell your boss about the black-hearted old friend, he will know." ”

He didn't say anything more, but quietly ordered a drink at the bar and waited for the result.

Not long after, the waiter respectfully said to the other party, "Sir, the boss invites you to talk in the back." ”

"Okay, thank you, this gold will be your reward for honesty. ”

With that, he handed the gold to the other party, and then laughed twice and entered the back of the bar.

"Tsk...... The décor here is ordinary, how can you tolerate such an environment?"

The man said as he looked at the man in the black coat not far ahead and asked.

Taking a deep breath and pausing for a long time, he finally asked the other party, "Ugh...... Would you like a cigarette?"

"Oh, isn't that the favorite brand of the aristocracy? You have the goods? But forget it, I don't have it

If you are interested in touching it, you must know that if you touch your body, you will be ruined. ”

"It's not that exaggerated...... A lot of times when we smoke, it's just to make a memory. ”

"It's a pity that I don't have memories that I need to recall, those things are cumbersome. ”

The man smiled and looked at the man in the black coat, who was much older than himself.

"Young people... Alas... Let's get down to business, what's going on with the magician?"

"I don't know, but we have some more important information than that. ”

"Oh?

"Wait, let me take two sips first. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the wine he had just ordered and drank it directly.

"Well, this news is about the toothy-smiling Grand Chief, Jackson Strong, who has come directly from his base camp to the kingdom of Alexandria. ”

"Oh, he?!, he's coming here...... I guess they wanted to slap the Templar in the face. ”

"I don't know why he's here, but I know that this news must be handed over to the branch minister, so I'll trouble you. ”

"Okay...... Anyway, this may be an opportunity for us, let's see what they plan to do. ”

"In this way, may all professions be able to walk freely in the world. ”

"May all professions be able to walk freely in the world. ”

With that, the man left the place.
