Although Roy has become a knight, since he has proposed to meet Lufas, the leader of the Slashing Flame Strategy Group, there is no reason for Burning Hall Miracle to refuse.

So, he went to the Slashing Flame Strategy Team to convey Roy's meaning to Lufas, and Lufas readily agreed to meet Roy.

The next day, the Burning Hall Miracle took Roy to an agreed teahouse in the Inheritor's College Square area to take a seat, waiting for Lufas's arrival.

While waiting, the Burning Hall Miracle chatted to Roy with some curiosity:

"If I'm not mistaken, this spatial ring on your hand should indeed be a style that can only be owned by a knight, and you have really become a knight?"

It's not that he doesn't believe that Roy can't become a knight, it's that Roy is still too young.

It would be a little more than a month before Roy would turn sixteen, and it would be unheard of in the history of Sidenia to become a knight of such high status.

"That's true."

Roy nodded, "Originally, this ring was supposed to be given to me by Her Royal Highness Vera at the award ceremony early next year, but because of my special situation, I was able to get my hands first. ”

"That's amazing."

The Burning Hall Miracle was amazed, "Not only is he a genius who can defeat the judgment of the same rank, but he also has his own legal weapon."

"At the same time, you have a marriage contract with another lawyer, and you have the favor of Her Highness the Holy Maiden......

"It's hard to imagine that a teenager from an ordinary background can do this, Roy, the more I know about your past and achievements, the more I feel that you are unfathomable."

Most of the inheritors came from aristocratic and wealthy families, and compared to those big families, it is not an exaggeration to call Roy's Arnold family ordinary.

Regardless of the world, the distribution of resources has always been unequal.

The stronger the big family, the more resources it will have, and it will be able to spend a lot of effort to cultivate the children of its own family, and their descendants will hardly be weak if they want to.

And people from ordinary families do not have many resources, and in the case of the same talent, because of the different training methods, in the end, the children of the big family will still be better.

Not to mention that the bloodline talents possessed by the children of the big families are often better than the children of ordinary families.

For these two reasons, it is rare for Sidney to have examples of grassroots teenagers like Roy rising, and the Templar family and their vassals have a near monopoly on the ruling class in Sidney.

That's why he was amazed by Roy's resume as the chosen one.

"Minister, don't make fun of me." Roy shook his head and said, "It's not so exaggerated, it's just luck." ”

For him to have the results he has now, the talent of his own double inheritor is really important.

But more importantly, it's the bonus that God Heart guy has given him.

Without the Heart of God, they would not have been able to slay the Demon Lord when they were in the wilderness.

Without this record, he would not have been able to get the approval of Leon and Cynthia, and he would not have been able to have the support of the Temple family as soon as possible.

Even if he won the Freshman Competition, he would not be able to sign a contract with the Ritsuki during the Holy Land Tour.

And if he can't become a legal envoy, I'm afraid Vera won't make an exception to invite him to be a knight.

The Heart of God is like a common golden finger, like the soul of a strong man residing in the ring, giving him the confidence to be on an equal footing with the temple family that has been inherited for thousands of years.

However, he did not simply accept the fact that he had a golden finger.

Sometimes he wonders if he has the power of the heart of God and becomes the protagonist of the game; Or has the Heart of God found an interesting toy that is nothing more than a tool for the Heart to achieve some purpose?

And what exactly does the existence of the World Tree portend in this fantasy world? Why do demons repeatedly infest humans? What does the future hold for Sidnia?

It is precisely because he has so many questions about this world that he is unwilling to easily give up his connection with the Raiders group.

Because the strategy group is one of the few organizations in West Denia that has the spirit of exploration and pioneering the world.

Roy unconsciously fell into deep thought, until the Burning Hall Miracle beside him stood up and beckoned to a red-haired middle-aged man who walked by:

"Mr. Lufas, here!"

Lufas walked over, and the Burning Hall Miracle said to Roy, "Mr. Lufas is here, you talk slowly, and I won't bother you." ”

Roy nodded, watching the miracle of the burning hall leave, Lufas sat down opposite Roy and smiled:

"I haven't seen you in a while, Roy. I didn't expect to meet again, you are already a royal knight of Her Royal Highness. ”

Roy also replied with a smile: "Not strictly yet, we have to wait until the award ceremony early next year." ”

Lufas sighed, "It's good to be a knight, it's not a busy job, it's not dangerous.

"A friend of mine is also a knight, because he is the last seat of His Royal Highness Shirin, so he doesn't get any tasks on weekdays, and his life is very leisurely.

"Looking at how chic he is in brocade clothes, and then looking at how much pressure our group of raiders are busy on the front line all day long, I can't help but sigh that the fate of people is indeed different."

Do you mean d'Artagnan by that friend......

Roy's expression was a little strange, and he took a sip of tea and said, "Speaking of Mr. Lufas, has the work of the strategy team always been very busy?" ”

"There is a lot of division of labor in the strategy group, and the group of people who are responsible for the front-line strategy will be particularly busy."

Luvas glanced at Roy, "What, you're interested in the Raiders group?" ”

"Yes, indeed." Roy didn't hide it, "If Mr. Lufas is willing to invite me to experience the work of the strategy team, I would like to work with you too." ”

Lufas hesitated: "I'm always welcome here, but is it okay with Her Highness the Holy Maiden?" ”

The first of all, the knights should stay by the side of Her Highness, and secondly, they should not approach other forces with a personal position.

After all, the position of the Imperial Knight also represents the meaning of Her Royal Highness behind the scenes.

"No problem."

Roy nodded, "This is what His Highness has approved." ”

"I see...... "Lufas's eyes froze slightly.

Assuming that Roy represents the position of His Highness the Holy Maiden, could it be that contact with Chopping Yan is also the meaning of His Highness the Holy Maiden?

"Participating in the event of slaying the flame is my private matter, and it has nothing to do with Your Highness."

Roy explained, "And the reason why I wanted to participate in the Raiders World Tree was because I wanted to figure out one thing......"

He leaned forward slightly and looked at Lufas seriously: "Mr. Lufas, Sidney has been working on the World Tree for nearly a thousand years.

"It can be said that for the past thousand years, the history and destiny of mankind have been bound to this world tree.

So how much do humans know about the World Tree today? Is that legend about the guidance of the gods true? ”

The legend of the so-called guidance of the gods is that sentence:

When humans reach the top of the World Tree, the gates of the divine realm will open to humans. Humans who have entered the divine realm will live forever, and their souls will live forever and receive eternal life.

It is this legend that has guided generations of bearers to raid the World Tree, a process that has lasted for nearly a millennium since it was built in Sidnia.

Previously, Roy had deduced that the so-called gods of humans probably referred to the three artifacts.

Because legend has it that the power and power of the oracle are given by the gods, and after he really becomes an oracle, he discovers that the power is given by the artifact, and the artifact also has a high degree of self-awareness.

But when he asked the Heart of God, the Heart of God flatly denied it, at least not because it spread the legend.

Is the originator another artifact, or is it just a myth made up by humans? Now no one is clear.

"What a profound question......

Luvas thought for a moment and said, "Think about it from another angle, in fact, for us humans, the real meaning of this legend lies not in its authenticity, but in its comfort to our souls.

"It is precisely because of the existence of this legend that the raiders have the motivation to conquer those difficult worlds.

"Because the so-called inheritor is the messenger who has inherited the power of the gods, we have a sense of mission to carry out the will of the gods and expand the territory.

With this sense of mission, we have the courage to face those formidable enemies, and this is how humanity finds its "meaning of existence" in this treacherous continent of Eden.

Of course, this does not mean that we are just indulging in the meaning we have given ourselves, we are still searching for the truth of this world.

"Roy, I heard Burning Hall mention that you've already been to the Lost Ruins on the sixth layer of the World Tree?"

Roy nodded.

"Then you must have a lot of doubts in your heart, right?"

"A thousand years ago, when humans had just stepped into the sixth layer, that ancient city was already located there.

"From the size of the building to the architectural style, it is obviously like an ancient city of mankind, but why is there no shadow of it in the history of mankind?

"The skeleton monsters roaming the ancient city, why are their skeletons so similar to those of humans?

"Why is that ancient city under a great curse, turning all its soul power into phosphorus and fire, and even the destroyed buildings can be restored to their original state?"

He threw out all sorts of questions one after another, and Roy followed his words and asked, "What...... Did we find out? ”

Lufas shook his head: "There are clues, but the current clues can't deduce a tenable result."

"But I believe that as we attack more and more small worlds, we will be able to discover the truth of the matter sooner or later."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because of the devil."

"Demons?"

"That's right, demon."

Lufas's eyes were deep, "Humans have been stuck in the seventeenth layer of the World Tree for hundreds of years, and the name of the seventeenth layer of the small world is 'Abyss'.

"And the most common monster in the abyss...... It's the devil! ”

"But demons also haunt the continent of Eden." Roy was stunned, "What the hell is going on......"

Lufas said slowly: "There are many opinions in the academic community about the exploration of the world, and one of them is a very bold hypothesis that explains it like this-

"The Eden Continent where we are located may also be a small world in the World Tree.

"Just as we can travel to other small worlds, creatures from other small worlds may invade our small worlds.

"The demon may have used the same method to appear on the Eden continent from the abyss."

Roy subconsciously held his breath when he heard it, and Lufas shook his head and smiled: "You don't have to listen so seriously, there are more hypotheses than this throughout the ages, but they are all just hypotheses."

However, this does not mean that these hypotheses are meaningless, because there are fragmentary threads behind each hypothesis.

"These clues are all clues found through the higher worlds, and they are the result of our continuous progress.

"If we hadn't conquered the sixteenth layer and traveled to the seventeenth layer of the abyss, we might never have known that the demon was actually a creature from another small world.

"And if we can conquer the abyss, or even go to the higher worlds, we may be able to find more definite answers from there."

Roy hissed, "Mr. Lufas, you've really whetted my appetite." ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Lufas smiled, "People who can become raiders are more or less curious about this world in their hearts.

"If you're curious about the truth of this world, you're always welcome from the Flame Slashing Strategy Team."

Roy nodded: "If I can, I would also like to try to participate in the strategy battle." But with my current strength, I can't help you on the front line. ”

The front line of the World Tree's strategy is above the fifteenth layer, and the monsters there are often seven or eight orders, and it is not what he has the ability to attack now.

"How old are you? There's still a long way to go. ”

Lufas laughed, "When I'm your age, I'm still playing with mud on the fourth and fifth floors.

"But don't worry, if Slash Yan receives a large-scale commission from the low-level world, he will let Rantang notify you as soon as possible.

"Slowly coming up from the bottom world strategy, you can find the fragments of the truth of this world step by step, and maybe you can find clues that we haven't found before."

"Then trouble Mr. Lufas." Roy said.

After a few more conversations, Lufas got up to take his leave.

Roy parted ways with him under the teahouse, looked at his back, and exhaled slowly.

Should it be said that Lufas deserves to be the leader of the top-ranked Flame Slashing Strategy Group? He really knows a lot.

"The truth of the world...... Is it? ”

Roy muttered, slowly clenching his fists.

Since he was born in this fantasy world, he has always had a great interest in this world.

This is also the reason why he wanted to join the strategy team more than become a knight before.

And even if he becomes a knight, he will not indulge in a stable life.

Whether it's the World Tree's strategy or Sidney's status, he wants it all.
