The violent air currents from the floating car blew the snow off the ground, but it lost its reaction force and could not move on.

After switching to four-wheel drive, the SUV climbed up for a long distance until the thickening snow completely buried the tires.

"The car can only go here, and the rest of the way, we need to walk."

Fortunately, there is also an exoskeleton brace, and with its assistance, Juan feels that climbing the mountain is not a very tiring thing, except for a few near-vertical steep slopes that are slightly difficult.

When Juan climbed to the top of New Kilimanjaro, he saw the blue and glittering sea in the distance, a large dark green forest at the foot of the mountain, and a grass-green sparse plain that seemed to be dug out of the forest, almost a huge circle.

Juan sighed: "Wow, it's spectacular, no wonder so many people like to climb mountains." ”

Morgan pointed to the sky: "Turn your sunglasses to the darkest and look at them." ”

Juan looked up and saw the sun so bright that it almost blinded his eyes.

He hurriedly followed Morgan's instructions and adjusted the sunglasses he wore to prevent snow blindness to extreme black.

In this case, he could see nothing but the round sun.

But after a while, after his eyes adjusted, Juan saw a thin black line running through the sun.

"What's that?"

"Planetary rings, just above your head."

"So I'm at latitude zero."

"Yes, this is something that can only be seen at zero latitude, at noon, cutting through the sun's rings like a thread."

Juan looked at it for a moment, then looked away and lightened his sunglasses.

Enduring the rays of the sun, Juan looked at the blue sky.

He didn't see a ring of planets that theoretically should have split the entire sky in half like a line.

It was so thin that it was submerged in the scattering of light by the air and was completely invisible.

"It's a spectacular sight, great, but it's not what I want."

"World Tree, of course, we're looking for the World Tree now.

"Come on, good baby, don't hide from Daddy, let me see where you are."

"You told me you could see the World Tree when you climbed to the top of the mountain, but you didn't know where it was?"

"The highest place in this area is at your feet, so I believe that as long as the World Tree is on the surface, you will be able to see it."

"You seem to have some truth in what you say."

Juan adjusted the viewing distance with his brain chip, and then, together with Morgan, he scanned the large forest section by paragraph.

"But what does the World Tree look like? How do I know which tree is it? ”

"You ask me, who do I ask?"

"How could you not know? You are the best guide, the best hunter, and a master worth 2,000 Alliance Coins for a day! Is there something on this planet that you don't know? ”

"What are you as the World Tree? Is it a tree that can be seen everywhere like gold and acacia, windmill vines, and baobabs? ”

"I thought you should know at least something."

"Yes, of course I know that in all the indigenous word of mouth, there is talk of one characteristic of the World Tree, which is tall, very tall, very tall."

"But I don't see a tree that's taller than the others."

"yes, I'm wondering too, it should be obvious."

"It looks like all the canopies are connected, like a green blanket you cover, and I don't see anything protruding in the morning."

Morgan glanced at Juan meaningfully: "Young man, accumulate some virtue, it's not polite to talk about an old man like this." Besides, I sleep on my side. ”

"There!" Dwarf Thorin pointed to a much sparse canopy of trees compared to the surrounding area, "That's the World Tree. ”

Juan followed Thorin's instructions and adjusted the viewing distance a little more.

"I see a sparse canopy, which one is the World Tree?"

"That's a tree, and the entire sparse canopy is a tree."

"Shhh Juan gasped.

If his estimate was correct, it was a circular area with a diameter of nearly 1 kilometer.

"When you say this, I can see that the sparse canopy is indeed different from the surroundings, the edges are too clear, it is simply a circle, but such a large area, is it really a tree?"

Thorin nodded affirmatively, "We dwarves don't mistake the World Tree.

"The elders of the tribe say that in the earliest primordial times, dwarves, halflings, and elves, like elves, were born from the World Tree.

"There are also dragons, and together with dragons, we guard the World Tree, take care of the World Tree, and also rely on the World Tree to thrive."

Frodo, who was following behind, interjected: "It turns out that I was born from the World Tree, no wonder there are no parents and parents, no, the halflings in the village who are the same size as me have parents and fathers?" ”

"Ahem," Morgan said as if he knew something, "Frodo, when you get back, ask your uncle, he knows." ”

Thorin smiled and said, "We don't have to rely on the World Tree to thrive for a long time.

"We have evolved and civilized...... What's more? Let me think, what did the instructor say at the time?

"Ah, yes, out of the low-level fun, yes, yes, we're out of the low-level fun!

"Only the Dryads keep up that backward and ignorant tradition, but they deserve it.

"The instructor said that when the elves ruled the planet, they drove all the other races away from the edge of the World Tree and occupied the World Tree alone.

"This is outright hegemonism, reactionary, backward, doomed ......"

"Alright, Thorin."

"They call dwarves and halflings allies, but they are brutally exploiting us; They themselves live in the sun, but we keep mining in the caves. Only human beings will treat us as equals and give us freedom and democratic ......"

"That's enough, Thorin."

"What's wrong with him?"

"I'm sorry, Juan, Thorin gets too excited just to talk about 'democracy, freedom, equality.'"

"If it weren't for the liberation of human beings, we would have been trapped in a narrow cave for the rest of our lives, not knowing how high the sky is, how wide the earth is, and how wonderful the outside world is!"

"Shut up, Thorin, no one wants to listen to the brainwashing in the military."

"Brainwashing? Damn it! I'm not brainwashed! I'm a true advocate of humanity!

"Because humanity has liberated us and given us freedom and equality!

"Humanity respects us and includes us under the protection of the laws of the Union!

"O Union Law!

"We dwarves, halflings, dragonmen, and other humanoids except elves are protected by the laws of the Alliance!

What a reverence and glory this is!

"So I am grateful to mankind from the bottom of my heart, and I am willing to sacrifice my life for the victory of mankind! Long live humanity!! ”

"It turns out that all humanoids except elves are protected by the laws of the Alliance. So which law is it? Civil law? Criminal law? Or is it the Constitution? ”

"It's the Animal Protection Act, sir!"

Juan and Morgan silently glanced at each other, and each could see the embarrassment in each other's eyes.

Afterwards, one of them lowered his head to take a picture of the World Tree, and the other looked up to study the planetary rings.

And the dwarf Thorin was as excited as a derailed train, and he began to sing a military song:

"1, 2, 3, 4, Human Alliance Special Combat Team; ……

"1, 2, 3, 4, I love the special forces team, I love working for Uncle Sam, it made me know my worth; ……

"My special combat team, your special combat team, our special combat team, the special combat team of the Human Alliance; ……

"One kilometer, it's nothing, two kilometers, just at the beginning, keep up with me, rush, horse! ……”
