Nightingale accepted Luke's offer, and after the three had eaten and drunk, they rode a camel and led the pack beast to the camp after making some purchases at the scorched wood camp.

Luke's first destination is Sunshine City, where the nightingale consciously rides a camel to lead the way, leaving room for Luke and Quicklegs to talk.

Quick Legs tells Luke about the current state of affairs in the West.

A large number of sand thieves turned into merchants, and with the financial support of Angry Waves City, they formed a direct trading network between the barbarians and the empire in the west. Although the nobles of the Western Frontier still control some goods trading, they are far from being middlemen.

As Luke had predicted, the nobles of the West, whose incomes had plummeted, cut off some of their armies. There is also the Moonlight Royal Court on the side of the couch, and the entire western realm is generally stable.

Of course, when the progressive forces promote social development, there must be reactionary forces.

"Calamity is extremely active right now, and I heard that a group of nobles have formed a cooperation with Calamity, and have also formed an organization called 'Resentment', with the ultimate goal of destroying the World Tree.

The Demon Hunters have fought against the 'Resentment' many times, and the other party has not only not been weakened, but has become stronger and stronger. ”

Luke said: "Behind the 'Resentment' organization is the Abyss Temple, and with a group of Western nobles and Calamity, the potential strength must be very strong.

I have received information that Victor, the First Apostle of the Abyss Temple, has arrived in the Western Realm, and it is very likely that he will launch an attack on the World Tree. The main reason why I came to the Westside this time was to solve this problem. ”

Fast legs suddenly realized: "No wonder the 'resentment' has developed so fast, which makes the demon hunting group a little unbearable." Adults have to deal with 'resentment' and prepare where to start. ”

Luke reached out to cover the light from his eyes and peered out over the undulating sand dunes ahead. The nightingale in front was about three hundred meters away, and behind him were the footprints of a camel.

"Let's go to Sunshine City first to find out the news of the 'Resentment', is Mephesman in Sunshine City?"

Quickleg replied, "I will send someone to contact Mefsman, who should be waiting for you in Sunshine." ”

"Hmm!" Luke nodded, and then asked, "Is there anything else special going on?" ”

Kuaileg thought for a moment and said, "There is another strange thing that has not been confirmed, some of which are strange, but there are many witnesses. ”

Luke casually asked, "What's strange?" ”

"Some people saw a flock of black swans flying through the sky, others said it was a black eagle, and some people said it was a man with black wings. They lingered over a desert for about a month, as if they had lost their way, and had only suddenly disappeared recently. ”

Luke became interested: "The man with black wings? ”

Fast Legs smiled and said, "Isn't a person with black wings a fallen angel?" But since the end of the ancient wars, there has been no trace of fallen angels. And if it is a fallen angel, it should not be lost in the desert for a month.

Maybe it's really a flock of black swans, or a large vulture eagle.

I've sent someone to investigate, but I'm afraid it's hard to find an answer. ”

Luke knew that there were fallen angels who lived to the end of the ancient wars. But the end of the war meant that they lost the chance to retake Sky City, and at the same time, the Fallen Angels became outsiders in Hell who were rejected by demons, so the Fallen Angels hid in the depths of Hell.

The Hell Demons are scattered, and even if they want to fight the idea of the World Tree, they can't organize the corresponding forces. But the fallen angels are different, they are unusually united under the fence of having lost their homes, and if the fallen angels also come to mix, the level of this crisis will have to be raised a notch.

Luke said to Fast Legs: "Swans have a strong sense of direction and don't wander around a desert without water for a month. Large vultures are territorial and do not come out in groups.

Many people were sent to look for witnesses to find out what they were. ”

"Yes, sir." Quickleg asked, "Are those really fallen angels?" ”

"I don't see it, I can't be sure. But those are really fallen angels, and they will definitely use the World Tree to stir up trouble in order to rekindle the ancient wars that did not have a winner. ”

If anyone doesn't want the ancient war to end, it's definitely the fallen angels, but they can't stop the trend of the end of the war. For thousands of years, five ancient civilizations have avoided the world, and they have not had the opportunity to provoke wars again.

Right now...... Here's your chance!

In order to compete for the World Tree as a quasi-artifact, the five ancient civilizations will gather in the Moonlight Royal Court, which is definitely the best time to rekindle the flames of war.

Luke considers the changes in power that the appearance of the Fallen Angels will bring about on both sides of the enemy, and at the same time informs the clear sky that has arrived at the Moonlight Court, and uses the perception of the spread of the World Tree to search for traces of the fallen angels.

The trio continued their journey through the desert.

At this time, on the edge of the ancestral grassland, a camel caravan marched in a line.

The leader of the caravan is an old man with gray hair and beard, and he is accompanied by a young man, the fallen angel Garand.

The other fallen angels flew high in the air, slowly following the caravan.

Officially stepping into the grassland from the Gobi Desert, the leader of the camel team said to Garand: "I'll send you here, this grassland is the grassland of the ancestors, and the Moonlight Royal Court is in the center of the grassland." There are a lot of barbarian herders in the steppe, and you can always ask them for directions. ”

Garland didn't let go of the caravan: "I asked you to take us to the Moonlight Royal Court, but I didn't say that we only took it to the ancestral grassland." Keep walking, see the World Tree, and you will be able to leave......"

Garland didn't finish his words, and instantly straightened his waist vigilantly, looking ahead with sharp eyes.

About ten meters ahead, a black shadow rose from the ground. Even with the scorching sun, the shadows were still as dark as thick ink.

Soon the shadows converged into a man in a black robe, and the shadow under the hood was like a black hole.

Garland asked, "Who are you?" Why are you holding us back? ”

"My name is Victor, the First Apostle of the Abyss Temple, the most loyal follower of the Abyss." It was Victor who stood in Garand's way, he bent down and saluted, and then said, "Isn't it too much to look down on the World Tree when the fallen angels entered the ancestral steppe in such a swaggering group?" ”

Garland smiled, his expression revealing murderous intent: "Do you know that we are fallen angels, and we have the courage to stop us?" ”

"I'm just kindly reminding you. The current World Tree is not the World Tree as you know it, the previous World Tree gave authority to an elf, and the World Tree you are facing is not a harmless thing.

If you enter the ancestral grassland unabashedly like you, you will soon be discovered by the World Tree, and then ...... The angels in the Moonlight Court Sanctuary should be willing to come and hunt you. ”

Garland realized that he had been careless.

"Thank you very much for your kind reminder, we'll make a disguise right away. If nothing else, you can die. ”

A fallen angel suddenly appeared behind Victor, sweeping across with a sword burning with black flames.

Victor didn't dodge, but said, "Don't you want to know how I found you?" ”

The black sword stopped at Victor's waist.

Garand waved his hand, and the fallen angel behind Victor vanished into burning ashes.

"Thanks for reminding, I did forget to ask this question." Garland, when the attack just now didn't happen at all, politely asked, "How did you find us?" ”

Victor replied, "It's not you I found, it's another great being. He is called Calamity, and he is a power that has emerged with the revival of the World Tree, and the destruction of the World Tree is the only basis for his existence.

Calamity has found you and made me wait here. ”

"Doomed?" When Garland heard the name for the first time, he asked, "What does it matter to us that the Catastrophe wants to destroy the World Tree?" ”

"Then why did you have so many fallen angels? Apocalypse is about to launch a war against the Moonlight Court, and in the chaos, you can do whatever you want. ”

Destroy the World Tree!

This was originally the purpose of the fallen angels going to the Moonlight Court, and it was the best outcome to be able to revive the ancient war, and at the very least, it could prevent the angels from obtaining new artifacts.

It's all to blame for the incompetence of the hell demons, the angels and the shimmering gold people have already set up a stronghold next to the World Tree, and the demons can't even organize a decent army. It's not as good as the Shadow Clan, who has already successfully assassinated a Glittering Elder.

Garland didn't know if the other party knew about the World Tree and artifacts, so he didn't disclose this information.

"It's a good suggestion. Where are you talking about the calamity? ”

"He's in Sunshine now."

"You take us to Sunshine City."

Victor saluted, "It's my pleasure. ”

When the leader of the camel team saw that he was finally able to send away these plague gods, he immediately said, "Lord Garand, since you don't go to the Moonlight Palace, let's separate now." ”

Garland smiled and said, "I changed my mind, you can only keep it a secret when you die." ”

Without waiting for the leader of the caravan to react, a fallen angel appeared behind him. The Black Flame Sword swept away, and the leader was sliced from the waist, and his body was wrapped in black flames, which burned to ashes in an instant.

The rest of the caravan suffered the same thing, all of them were attacked and killed by the fallen angels.

After the extinguishment was done, Garand said to Victor again, "Let's go, go to the city of the sun you said to see the so-called calamity." ”

"Please follow me."

Victor turned into a black shadow, then coalesced into a crow, flapping its wings and soaring into the sky.

Garland laughed, "Finally ready to fly." ”

He lifted his coat, his black wings stretched, his wings flapped slightly, and he left his hunchback and rushed into the sky.

The other fallen angels chased after Garand, who was far away.

Only camels and pack beasts were left unaware of what was happening.

Moonlight Court.

The canopy of the World Tree resembles a canopy, enveloping the entire Circular Moon Mountain in its own shade. There was no darkness under the canopy because the sun was obscured, for every leaf on the World Tree shone with a faint light, and the leaves swayed in the wind, and the light flashed like stars in the sky.

A few more points of light shone from the canopy of the World Tree, creating a rainbow that could be seen from any angle.

Moon Lake under the trees, the water surface is as calm as a mirror. The clear sky stood on the water, facing the World Tree and meditating with his eyes closed.

In the spirit starry sky, Luke looked at the miraculous giant tree with Clear Sky.

Above the starry sky, the sun pointed out by Luke was a little bigger and brighter, so that the moon was no longer the only protagonist in the starry sky.

"I have a sense of crisis in my heart that the World Tree may be attacked on a large scale," Luke said. The opponents are not only the calamity, but also the Temple of the Abyss, plus the fallen angels. ”

Clear Sky kept a smile on her lips, and she replied to Luke's concern, "Big trees will inevitably go through wind and rain, either destroyed by wind and rain, or continue to grow after weathering the wind and rain. Listen, the World Tree is very pleased with your arrival, and now it is not only protected by the moon, but also by the sun. ”

Luke asked, "If our existing forces can't stop this attack, will the stars be able to protect the World Tree?" ”

"The starry sky never gives shelter to anything, it is the source of order, and birth and death are in order. The power to protect the World Tree is in your hands, you are responsible for protecting the World Tree, and I am responsible for protecting you. ”

Luke asked, "Is it true that the Abyss Temple believes that the Abyss has given divine authority to the Abyss?" ”

"Theocracy is granted by both the starry sky and the abyss, but the divine authority has different tendencies."

Clear Sky is the answer.

Luke couldn't help but smile when he thought of something and said, "How can the starry sky and the abyss be so similar to the yin and yang that I know." ”

Clear Sky has a part of Luke's memory, and he can't help but laugh when he hears this metaphor: "When you say it, it's really quite similar, this is the same way." If we extend it a little further, we're quite similar. ”

Luke suddenly felt a little headache, as if something had been awakened in his head, and there were still many realizations that he wanted to grasp but couldn't. He tried to think about the pain he endured, but nothing came of it until the headache was over, and the awakened thing fell asleep again.

Taking a deep breath, Luke sighed and said, "I now understand why you keep so many secrets, there are some things that I really shouldn't know now."

I'm still going to be the ordinary me first, doing the ordinary things.

Have the fallen angels been found? ”

Sunny Sky smiled and replied, "The World Tree has discovered them." But as soon as they reached the edge of the ancestral grassland, they were taken away by a cloud of abyss energy, and they should have gone to find a calamity. ”

The last thing you want to see happens.

Luke said to Clear Sky, "Gather the Moonlight Knights to prepare to defend the World Tree, speed up the cultivation of the Treants, and let the Ancient Treants from all over the Ancestral Prairie move to the royal court."

Inform the Angels and the Glittering Men that a group of fallen angels have come out of the depths of Hell and that they want to destroy the nascent World Tree.

……”

Luke quickly spoke up and rallied the forces to defend the World Tree.

And Qingtian said lazily: "Okay, I'm only responsible for fighting, and you do everything when dealing with people." The body has given you ......

Theresia is here, she has also handed it over to you, this angel is simply a dog skin plaster, I knew she was so difficult, I wouldn't provoke her. ”

After saying that, Clear Sky pushed Luke.

Meditating on the clear sky on the Moon Lake opens your eyes.

Next to her, Theresia slowly flapped her wings and landed on the surface of the lake, rippling in circles under her feet.
