Chapter 103: Believe it or not, I'll carve the word 'early' on your head?
Wu Ming felt that he was still too patterned, and he was still a big step away from the level of having seen a lot of battles, so he was taken aback when this tree man suddenly spoke.
As a qualified operator of the Lucky Ancient God Office, first of all, you must be able to communicate with any strange intelligent life form in your mentality, words and deeds - even if you can't do it with peace of mind, it doesn't matter, but at least on the surface, you can't show that Wu Ming is scolding and being scared back half a step so obvious on the surface.
"Hello, I know I'm ...... right now Weird, but I, and we really have no ill will. The dead tree shook its branches hard, and the bark that had withered and necrotic made a crackling sound, Wu Ming felt a faint light flicker in the two tree holes on the trunk that looked like eyes, and projected a burst of eyes to examine himself, "You, are you the leader of this team?" ”
The situation was so weird that Wu Ming's mind didn't turn around for a while, and he subconsciously took the words of this tree man: "Eh...... Ah, yes, I'm the leader and commander of this squad and the sword tower, the lord and the commander and squad leader, and recently I also want to re-work as an agent, would Elizabeth want to consider forming a band with Lao Zhao and Fei Ge to become the lead singer of the band? ”
"Ah...... Huh? Me? Elizabeth also thought seriously for a while, and then gave her own conditions: "If you guarantee that the meat is enough, big brother......"
The tree man was a little confused by Wu Ming's strange words, and the bare branches swayed for a long time before he held back a sentence: "You are really ...... He wears many hats. ”
Zhao Jida kicked Wu Ming's knee hard, and when the latter rolled on the ground holding her knee in pain, she turned her head to look at the tree man who although there was no expression fluctuation on her face, but she may have been completely confused in her heart: "I'm sorry that he has always been like this, please ignore these strange words without nutrition in the future, don't try to understand our captain's brain circuit, let alone answer the phone, it will make him more energetic." ”
"Good...... Good. ”
"Cough, get back to business......" Wu Ming, who got up from the ground again, patted off the dust on his body, he had already called up the real-time map in the auxiliary device, and after confirming that there was no hostile reaction approaching, Wu Ming patted Qi Gefei's shoulder and temporarily suppressed her intention to draw her sword and slash the other party in the spiritual link, touched her chin and asked: "I just heard Lao Zhao say that you took the initiative to contact us and submitted an exchange application." Say, what do you want to talk to us about? ”
When sneaking in the enemy's base camp, a group of wild monster tree people who were dressed like the enemy camp suddenly appeared, which made Wu Ming subconsciously raise his vigilance, but Zhao Jida did not exclude him as an enemy, but contacted him and Ziegfei through a spiritual link, indicating that the other party still had some contact value.
"Before I do that, please allow me to introduce myself to you briefly, I am the captain of the Dragon Knight Brigade, and I was once ordered to launch a decapitation operation on the Tree of Life, and at one point approached the core line of defense, threatening the main body of the Tree of Life......"
"But now, as you can see, we have failed, and we have become the ghosts that are rooted in this land and are neither like people nor plants."
Wu Ming: "0_o?" ”
"Dragon Knight Brigade?!" Compared to Wu Ming, an outsider who didn't understand anything and pretended to be surprised, Qi Gefei's reaction was more real and intense, first the decibel of the voice instantly increased a lot, and it evolved directly in the direction of the noise, and then she walked to the dead tree man with an excited expression, grabbed the trunk and shook it violently, the not thick dead tree trunk shook under her dragon monster power, and the wood inside crackled and crackled: "You are still alive?!" You weren't given ...... by Nidhogg."
"Oops! Brother Fei, calm down, don't wait to break others off! Look at the two tree holes are gone! Seeing that the shaking amplitude of the dead tree was getting bigger and bigger, and several cracks appeared on the trunk that were visible to the naked eye, Wu Ming hurriedly stopped Qi Gefei, pulled her aside and asked quietly in the spiritual link: "What is the origin of this dragon knight brigade you are talking about?" ”
Qi Gefei also understood that he was a little out of shape just now, and after being a little embarrassed to apologize to the dead treeman, he replied briefly in the spirit link: "I met the decapitation unit that Nidhogg annihilated. ”
Wu Ming understood why Qi Gefei suddenly lost control of his emotions.
"I didn't ...... It's okay, it's not convenient to do anything after becoming like this, but there's a little bit of good......" The treeman's intermittent voice came out of the tree hole, and the deep and dark tree hole once again ignited a little light like a ghost fire, and soon Wu Ming saw that the somewhat shocking cracks on his body began to heal and converge, and finally returned to the crumpled, withered and rough bark form of the tree before, and there was no trace of the broken tree at all. "It's just that the vitality and resilience are much stronger than when they were still human."
The Dead Tree Man paused, his gaze drifting out of the hollow and silently staring at Siegphy.
This scrutinizing gaze lasted for a long time, her appearance and body shape had not changed much compared to many years ago, and she had also been transformed into a dead tree man.
"I didn't expect you to be alive......" After a long silence, the withered tree man suddenly spoke.
was still recognized, even when she knew the identity of the other party, Qi Gefei was already mentally prepared to be recognized by others, but when the other party recognized her and pierced this layer of window paper, her heart still involuntarily pinched.
"Did you succeed in breaking away from the army without permission and insisting on returning to Glamorgan?"
Siegfei lowered her head and didn't dare to look directly at the other party's gaze, let alone the courage to respond to the other party's words, she spent every day in repentance and guilt for more than ten years, and the guilt and guilt had turned into hallucinations, like demons and nightmares, and turned into people who knew and didn't know her, torturing her heart day and night: If she hadn't brought Tachibana with Gramorgan, would Tachibana not be transformed into Nidhogg? If we had been more careful and had detected Glamorgan's anomaly earlier, would we have been able to stop the Tree of Life conspiracy? If the troops had not been split and decapitated in the first place, would the end of humanity be different if everyone had destroyed the Tree of Life in one fell swoop? If......
Even if there are very strong traces of public opinion guidance, even if the surveillance video played by Glamorgan's system AI before it was shut down by her, it cannot be denied that the initial origin of the impact of a series of crashes after that was caused by her.
And this black dragon girl has long been unable to effectively communicate with people to untie the knot, and has long brought her thoughts into a stubborn and inextricable death cycle, while making Siegfei's self-loathing pursuit of liberation and breaking, she has also shaped her mental and psychological state to be both strong and fragile: in the face of the tree of life, mimic creatures and demonic plants, Siegfei's spirit and will are as strong as steel, but when faced with the questioning of the dead tree, she does not even have the courage to face it.
Seeing that Qi Gefei was silent with his head buried in his head, the withered tree already had a rough answer in his heart: "You have also failed...... The birth of the black dragon Nidhogg must have also caused heavy casualties to human beings in the end, right? ”
Every word pierced into Siegphy's heart like a nail, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably, the strong shell that Siegphy had used to disguise herself for a long time was being torn apart by the other party's questioning, and she began to fear that the other party would force her to ask why she was still alive like the demons and nightmares that haunted her day and night.
Siegnon's wavering mood was also shared with Elizabeth, Zhao Xida, and Wu Ming through a spiritual link.
"Heads up, Siegfe, your choice is beyond reproach."
To Zigg's surprise, the voice coming from the mouth of the dead tree was not a reproach or a question.
"It was clear to me that when I saw the power of Nidhogg and the Tree of Life, I understood that our decapitation had been on the verge of failure from the very beginning. Before we saw the power of the Tree of Life, we were ridiculously thought that this was the most likely opportunity to end the catastrophe we had encountered since the outbreak of the Tree of Life disaster, and that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if it was only a 1 in 10,000 success rate, this plan was worth the risk. ”
"This is not a word of consolation, Zigfi, you don't need to feel guilty about this, even if you and those departed elites stayed in the Dragon Knight Brigade in the first place, it was just to delay our death, and then let the dead forest behind me add a few dead trees that were bound to this land, so you don't need to take all the fault on yourself."
"I'll tell you why, but until then, I'...... We have something to tell you. ”
The Dead Tree Man looked at Zigfei rubbing his fingers helplessly, and said in what he thought was as calm and soft as possible.
"Raise your head, your choice was not wrong at the beginning, I, and everyone in the Dragon Knight Brigade, have never resented or blamed you for your departure, and the others who lost their lives because of the failure of this operation have no right or qualification to accuse you, we failed to return to Gramorgan with you, and Glamorgan was captured by the servants of the Tree of Life, and there is not even the slightest bullshit relationship! It's not your fault, it's all of us who are at fault, and we optimistically underestimated the power of the Tree of Life from the beginning......"
Even in a dream, the words that she didn't dare to imagine floated into Ziegfei's ears, and she was shocked like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and she suddenly fell into a stupor, unable to speak for a long time.
"This Mr. Lu, if you hadn't said something at the end, I guess you would have carved the word 'early' on your head." Feeling that Qi Gefei's spirit and psychology were gradually falling back to a more normal level from the critical point, Wu Ming sighed and patted the rough tree trunk: "It's been so many years, do you really remember the situation at that time?" ”
"I don't have the surname Lu, although I have become this ghost, but my memory has not declined."
"Then call you Mr. Zhou?"
"Book that! Why! ”
"Okay, okay, Brother Treeman, don't talk about these useless things, hurry up and hand over the information, we're going to cut down the tree in a hurry." Hurry up. ”
