The entrance to the World Tree is a portal embedded in the trunk of a tree that is ten meters high and five meters wide.

Roy stepped into it, only to feel a slight trance, and came to a strange hall.

The hall was extremely spacious, with tiled walls, and it looked less like you had stepped into the World Tree, more like you had been transported to another dimension.

The hall was full of people, and many teams preparing to attack the World Tree gathered here, either waiting for people or chatting.

Before Roy could take a closer look, he was pulled by Harvey.

Together with the servants of the Rudolph family, they stood on the teleportation table in an orderly manner, only to feel that the teleportation table lit up with a dazzling white light, and then the world swirled.

This top-heavy vertigo was much stronger than the trance feeling of walking into the hall before, but fortunately it lasted for a short time, and within two seconds, the teleportation was over.

Greeted by a three- or four-story residential building, Roy realized that he had been transported to the first level of the World Tree: the town of Ellan in the Plains of Elland.

The town was built a makeshift camp a long, long time ago when humans first set foot here, and the camp has since expanded to become the size of the town it is today.

Harvey's Rudolph Ranch is located next to a stream not far from the small town of Aylan.

So the group changed horses and cars in the town and continued towards the pasture.

Harvey sat next to him and whispered, "You should have also noticed that in the Irland Plains, the concentration of spiritual power is even higher than when it was in Sidnia. ”

Roy meditated for a moment and realized that it was.

Although the gap is not obvious, but in the Ellan Plain, the speed at which the body absorbs spiritual power is indeed a little faster than usual.

It shows that if the inheritor cultivates here, his strength will increase faster.

"This is just one layer of the World Tree."

Harvey continued, "I heard that the higher you go to the world, the higher the concentration of spiritual power will become, that's why the inheritors like to run into the World Tree, there are opportunities everywhere, and you can also increase your cultivation speed, who doesn't love it?" ”

"It's a great place indeed."

Roy looked out over the verdant fields and nodded approvingly.

Even if it is not beneficial to cultivation, it is extremely enjoyable to come here occasionally to collect wind and go out, otherwise people will be suffocated if they stay in Sidenia City every day.

It is mentioned in the Sidenia textbook that since the beginning of the World Tree, for a long time, humans have not stepped out of the city walls.

Originally, he still had some doubts, thinking that the World Tree could be so wonderful that the human race could be self-sufficient without leaving the city.

Today's visit to the Irlan Plains dispelled all his previous doubts.

It is said that the living conditions in the continent of Eden are very harsh, and only the area near the World Tree is suitable for humans to live in for a long time. Outside the walls, natural disasters and demonic beasts are rampant, and the danger is extremely high.

On the other hand, the Irlan Plain in the tree of the world is rich in soil, the wind and rain are smooth, and the years are quiet.

If he had to choose, he would also focus on the Raiders World Tree.

"Has it always been so safe that there are no monsters?" Roy remembered tomorrow's hunt.

"It's a safe zone, there will be no monsters." Harvey replied.

"As the first layer of the World Tree, the Irland Plain has been attacked countless times, and the monsters in the area around Elland Town have been completely eliminated, and if you want to encounter monsters, you have to go deeper into the plain."

As he spoke, he pulled out a map of the Ellan Plains out of nowhere and pointed it out to Roy.

"The blue dot in the middle represents the town of Irlan, and the map uses the red line to draw a circle that is not very regular, and the area within this red circle is considered a safe zone."

"In other words, if you want to meet monsters, you have to get out of this circle?" Roy looked at the map.

"Yes." Harvey nodded, "This red circle is not indiscriminate, on the Elland Plain, more than a dozen temporary teleportation points have been artificially placed, and these teleportation points are connected on the map, and they become this red circle."

"If a herd wants to invade the safe zone, our combat troops will teleport directly to the edge of the safe zone through a makeshift teleportation point to engage them, saving them the effort of traveling.

"At the same time, if you want to hunt monsters outside the safe zone, you can also teleport directly to the edge of the safe zone through the temporary teleportation point, which is very convenient."

Roy understood.

"This red cross is the final waypoint?" He keenly noticed that in the remote corner of the map, there was also a small red cross.

Even if you haven't seen it before, you know some of it.

"Yes, this is the waypoint to the next world, also known as the final waypoint, and the monsters that are usually entrenched there are also stronger."

Harvey nodded, "Each layer of the world has a final waypoint that communicates with the adjacent world, and only by finding and unlocking this waypoint can you go to the next world. This waypoint leads to the second level of the World Tree: the Ruined Mine.

"And when this waypoint is unlocked for the first time, we can teleport directly from the World Tree's departure hall to the Ruined Mine. As a result, the waypoint has largely been abandoned. ”

Basically abandoned?

Roy was slightly stunned, but quickly figured out why.

If you think of the Raiders World Tree as a game, each layer of the world is a dungeon, and finding and unlocking the final waypoint to the next layer of the world represents a level.

Therefore, it must be extremely dangerous near this waypoint, and the final boss of the quest is often guarded here.

The manpower cost to maintain the security around this waypoint is too high.

As long as you unlock this waypoint for the first time, you can teleport directly from the departure hall to the next world, which is undoubtedly more convenient.

As the carriage arrived at Rudolph's ranch, Roy jumped out of the carriage and was slightly shocked by what he saw.

"These ...... It's all your family's land? ”

Roy looked out over a vast expanse of grassland enclosed by a white fence that stretched to the end of the horizon, or hundreds of acres of land, to say the least.

O big landlord!

Harvey bared his teeth, "Almost! ”

In the ranch, someone saw Harvey and his party coming from a distance, and immediately shouted, "Young Master Harvey is here!" ”

Soon, all the servants of the ranch stopped what they were doing, ran to the door, and stood in two rows in a regular manner, looking solemn as if they were a military parade.

As the two approached, they shouted in unison, "Welcome Master Harvey!" Welcome Master Roy! ”

"Good, very energetic!" Harvey's chin lifted in satisfaction.

Roy touched the cold sweat on his forehead: "Your family's maid is really enthusiastic. ”

The sudden shouting almost sent him away.

There are more than 20 servants in the Rudolph family standing here, and the Arnold family, the combined population of the whole house is less than half of the people here.

Roy was a little embarrassed, just looking at this card, the Rudolphs were more like nobles than the Arnolds.

Down, family.

"Haha, Young Master Roy, I'm waiting for you!"

I saw a middle-aged uncle with a beer belly on the other side, he walked quickly to Roy and patted him on the shoulder enthusiastically, "I've often heard Harvey mention you, I heard that you have a good academic performance, and I will teach this kid more in the future." ”

"Hello uncle."

Roy responded politely, "I'm really sorry that the previous bill caused trouble to my uncle." ”

This middle-aged uncle is Harvey's father, the current head of the Rudolph family, and the owner of Rudolph's ranch, Yale Rudolph.

"It's all trivial." Yale said with a smile,

"Uncle is a ranch owner, and he doesn't have anything to give, so if you like a foal, don't be polite to Harvey, I wish you a good time!"

With that, he waved his hand, not allowing Roy to refuse, and left in a hurry.

The father and son are inexplicably similar in their style.

"Uncle is so welcoming." Roy sighed.

"It's weird!"

Harvey complained on the side, "My dad doesn't smile like this on weekdays, but when I see you, his old face is as bright as a chrysanthemum." Since he said so, let's take you to pick a horse first. ”

"I really don't need to, we have something serious to do this time."

Roy repeatedly refused, but Harvey was not reluctant, and took him to the shooting range around the corner.

As the "marksman" of his marksmanship, a special shooting range was naturally opened up for him in the ranch.

There are several fixed targets erected in the lush open grass, and the distance of the fixed targets can be changed arbitrarily by conveying instructions to the minions.

"If you shoot first...... Let's shoot a 50-meter target first. ”

Roy opened the black box, held the black sniper in his hand, loaded the spiritual arrows, and looked through the scope at the target 50 meters away.

There was a heavy metallic texture of the black sniper in his hand, his breathing and heartbeat slowed down suddenly, and his arm no longer trembled.

This is where Moon Shadow's talent, Body Control, comes into play.

Roy didn't inject spiritual power into the black sniper, but used it as an ordinary bow and crossbow, and after locking on the bull's-eye, he pressed the trigger calmly and powerfully.

"Whoa—"

A short sound of breaking through the air sounded, and the next moment, the arrow was nailed straight to the target.
