Aaron doesn't think he's a man who likes peace, but he also hates inexplicable wars, especially when the source of the war is a short-circuit in someone's brain.
The search for the "monster foragers" became heavy. But if he and Hiram guessed correctly, it was really Suston, and the journey to the top of the Emerald was fraught with danger. If the men in black didn't know about him and Eric, they might be waiting for them at the top of the Emerald Realm.
Aaron looked at Eric and saw that he was also worried, perhaps because he was worried about the journey to the top of Emerald or because he was guessing the true truth of the matter.
"I want to ask you a question, Mr. Halleym. Aaron thought about it for a moment and felt that he should still ask about the matter.
"What's the matter?"
Hiram, who was about to enter the house, stopped and looked back at Aaron.
"Aside from the top of the eternal green, is there any other place for this 'monster forager' with 'poisonous flame pupils'?" Aaron asked.
Hiram pondered for a moment and said, "The number of 'Monster Foragers' is not very large, and it takes decades to grow 'Poison Flame Pupils'. There are only two I know of, one exists at the top of the Emerald, as you already know, and the other in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts in the Forest of Fogg, but the danger there is far greater than that of the top of the Emerald Peak. ”
"Which is more dangerous than the men in black?" Aaron asked.
"Almost, but if I had to choose, I'd rather choose the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts. ”
"What do you think?" Aaron asked, turning, Eric.
"Me?" Eric was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Aaron to ask his opinion at this time, "I'm okay, but if I fight the man in black, I can feel a little uncomfortable, after all, they may be companions." ”
"That's fine. Can you please tell me how I can get to the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts?" Aaron looked at Hiram with a sincere expression.
"This one...... Well, that's fine, but you have to be careful. There will be very little help I can give you, and if I get involved in this, I guess Susston will intervene as well, and your situation will become more dangerous. At this time, Bobby and Merlin are no longer holy, and everything is up to you. But if you're lucky, you might run into them in the Fogg Mountains. ”
"Bobby and Merlin?" Aaron frowned, he didn't know who these two were.
"They are elven elders, just like Elder Hiram and Elder Suston. Eric explained, but with a strange look on his face, he didn't seem to want to mention the two men.
"Well, stop thinking about unhappy things. The two of them are just a little weird, but they are really good people. I'll cook, you guys wait a minute. ”
The next two days were mostly rest. On the one hand, Eric is recuperating from his body, and his previous injuries are somewhat serious, and if he doesn't take time to rest, he is likely to leave sequelae; on the other hand, although Aaron's injuries will heal quickly, he has consumed a lot of mental power in the previous battle, and Aaron also hopes to take this opportunity to replenish his mental power. So, after discussion, the two chose to rest for two days at the cottage in Halleym.
It is also strange to say that when Aaron sat at the bottom of the tree and meditated, he always felt that his spiritual power was replenishing rapidly, and it took less than a day for Aaron to return to his previous level. The problem that had been bothering Aaron's mind was solved.
Does it have anything to do with this big tree? Aaron looked up at the towering tree and thought silently.
Earlier, Aaron had heard Eric say that this tree was called the "Ancestral Tree", and it was the oldest tree in the Anya Forest, and it is said that the elves found this tree on the way to migrate, and settled here, and it gradually became what it is today. Therefore, this tree is also called the "Elven Tree" by other races.
This tree has a lifespan of thousands or even tens of thousands of years so far, and it contains far more essence than other places.
With this in mind, Aaron accelerated his meditation. He had already had a feeling that there was only a thin line between him and the second-order alchemist, and it would be great if he could use the "Ancestral Tree" to pierce this layer of tissue paper.
Aaron didn't bother to eat, sat cross-legged under the tree, and continued to meditate.
Heaven and earth seemed to be one with each other, and Aaron was at the center of this chaos. All kinds of words and all kinds of refining arrays lingered around, and they flashed in Aaron's mind one by one, both familiar and strange. Each analysis made Aaron feel the charm of alchemy. In the depths of his body, spiritual power poured out and flowed all over his body, and his thoughts accompanied them, flowing to his whole body.
Aaron meditated for a day and a night. By the time Aaron opened his eyes, it was already dark.
An abundant spiritual power filled the body, and it felt like there was an inexhaustible power all over the body. This is a second-order alchemist? Aaron's heart was filled with joy. Although there is definitely a big gap compared to those alchemists with a solid foundation, for him, the most important thing now is to save Eunice from the coma, and as for other things, such as the basics, it can really be temporarily relieved. Moreover, with the improvement of ability, the success rate of refining "Tru's Potion" has also greatly increased.
"You're finally awake. Eric asked, fruit and bread in his hands.
"Well, how are you doing now?" Aaron took the food and opened his mouth to take a bite of the bread, it was not delicious. However, no other demands can be made now, and more importantly, if they show dissatisfaction, they are expected to be kicked into the water by Hylam.
"It's ok. While you were resting, Elder Hiram used another healing spell on me, and I'm mostly healed now. However, because the muscles heal too quickly, the body is still a little uncomfortable. Eric explained.
Aaron nodded, and after eating the food in three or two bites, he stood up: "I'm basically recovering now, if you don't have any opinions, let's leave tonight, I'm afraid that it will drag on for too long, which will not be good for Princess Eunice." ”
"Well, I know, Elder Hiram has everything ready. Rapiers, bows and arrows, food, and maps, and," Eric pulled out his duffel bag behind him, "this, do you know what this thing is? ”
Eric took a round sheet from his duffel bag and handed it to Aaron.
Aaron took it and looked at it, and his face immediately became excited: "Compass, Mr. Halleym, where did you get this thing?" Aaron looked at Hiram with joy.
Hiram scratched his head and said, "This is what Ivan gave." You must be careful when you go at night, I found some people hiding in the woods, probably in the same group as the men in black. So, how you go still has to think in the long run. ”
Listening to Hiram's words, both Aaron and Eric's expressions became serious.
