Ash took the black flame short knife in Melina's hand, and carefully felt the power of the black flame, which did contain a trace of death, but it was very faint.

It's not bad to use against faders, but as for the demigods, it's a bit reluctant.

Returning the dagger to Melina, everyone moved on.

Along the dilapidated road, in a moment you will come to the tallest building, which, from the outside, is a huge tower.

Without saying a word, Ash climbed first, followed by the others.

When he came to a platform and the ashes were about to continue up, he suddenly had an alarm bell in his heart and rolled directly.

Where he was standing just now, the sword had already fallen.

As for why it was silent, Ash looked back and saw that it was two gray-white soul knights.

The two knights were dressed very similarly to Augray, except that their helmets were wrapped in rags.

In the face of the ghost attack, Ash immediately moves out of the distance, alerting his teammates who climb up behind him. Soon, Melina and Sir Hundred Chi exchanged hands with the Soul Knight, and Ash took out the bell and summoned Augray.

The space distorted, Ogray's figure emerged, and Ash gave the order to attack, but instead of acting, Ogray knelt down.

Seeing this scene, Ash was a little puzzled, could it really be as he guessed, Ogray and the soul knights here were once in the same camp?

Before Ash could figure it out, an old voice came: "Stop!" ”

These soul knights seemed to have received the military order, immediately stopped the attack, and stood obediently. Melina and the others did not take advantage of the danger, but stopped and watched.

Everyone looked along the sound and saw a veteran walking in the distance, although his right leg was equipped with a prosthetic, but a strong sense of oppression still came to his face.

The veteran slowly walked in front of Ogray, and with a wave of the military flag in his right hand, Ogray bowed deeply.

"It's really you, my king's wings, Augrere." I saw that Ogray's phantom trembled even more.

As if to understand that O'Gray could not speak, the veteran walked up to the ashes and asked, "Did you enslave him?" ”

The voice was sonorous and powerful, like the intention of Ash to start a war when he was not satisfied with his answer.

"No, it's not, I don't."

"He was met by me at an ancient ruin, and it was even more crippled at the time, but I asked someone to help him."

"Ancient ruins?"

"Tell me more."

"A place called the Hero's Ruins, and it was discovered that he was under the roots of a huge tree, and at the beginning O'Gray was still muttering about what was a hoax to return to the tree."

"Return to the tree... Ho... Spit. ”

"I know that the demigods are not well-intentioned, huh!"

Seeing that the veteran's hostility had been lifted, Ash asked, "Can you elaborate?" ”

The veteran glanced at the ashes: "That's it, I don't know how long I can live, so let me tell you, I can't let the Golden Tree continue to be hypocritical." ”

"At that time, Ogray was known as the Storm Wings, serving my lord, the Storm King."

"It's a pity that in that battle, my lord Storm King was defeated by Godfrey and disappeared."

"We, the warriors who belong to the Storm King, have become lonely ghosts after the king is gone."

"As the defeated side, they were slaughtered, and in order for everyone to have a place, I gathered them and stationed them in the uninhabited city of Thor."

"And those who are not taken in are called knights in the lost land, who have no belonging, and are sent by other forces."

"Ogray, as the wings of the king, was deceived by the blessed king with the tree and became a lackey."

"Then, why is it called a hoax?"

"Oh, O'Gray has returned to the tree after his death, and it stands to reason that he will enjoy a peaceful sleep forever, but the remnant soul appears here, what is it that returning to the tree is not a scam?"

"Why does the Golden Tree bless everyone and ask for nothing? I'm sure you should see the dead bones at the roots! ”

The veteran's words made Ash think about it with great fear.

As for sleep, the golden law stipulates that only by returning to the tree can you sleep, otherwise you will become a ghost.

Ogray has returned to the tree, so why is there still a remnant soul?

"It's just that the absorption is not complete, in the end it is the residue!" The veteran said angrily.

The blessing of the golden tree is not a blessing at all, but a force to become a nourishment. You are marked by blessings, and you will either become a lonely soul or become fertilizer......

"It's horrible." When Millicent on the side heard this, she also kept frowning, only Sir Baizhi was expressionless, as if he already knew.

"So, is Ogray repentant?"

"Perhaps." The veteran's expression was also a little lonely.

In that case, Ash will let O'Gray stay here and hand it over to the veteran, which can be regarded as a return to the roots.

After dealing with Ogray's affairs, Ash asks the veteran if he knows the whereabouts of the Sacred Tree runes.

I thought it would take a lot of talking, but I didn't expect the veteran to tell Ash happily that the holy tree rune was in the box upstairs, and he could take it if he wanted it.

This made everyone ecstatic, and the ashes went straight to the top of the building, and sure enough, the other half of the holy tree rune was found inside the chest.

Now that the target has been reached, and Ash has no reason to stay in Thor, he bids farewell to the veteran.

Before leaving, Ash looked back at Thor City, thinking in his heart that maybe he could call them for help if he got involved with the Golden Family in the future, after all, he was an old enemy.

After getting the two runes of the sacred tree, Lutina, the son of platinum, suddenly appeared again and told Ash to go to the big elevator to use it.

The way back was smooth and unobstructed, and soon everyone was back at the big lift that amazed Ash.

This time, Ash took the Sacred Tree Rune, walked to the middle of the lift, and held it high.

Sure enough, the statue turned, and the elevator slowly rose.

When the heavy snow appeared in front of the ashes again, the ashes were a little dumbfounded, isn't this still a snowy mountain?

As a result, Millicent tells Ash that although this place is similar to a snowy mountain, it is by no means a snowy mountain, because she feels the call of the bloodline.

With Millison's humanoid pathfinder, it's easy to do.

After a few steps forward, the ashes also made out the difference between this place and the snow-capped mountains. Although the snowflakes and storms have not changed, there is less hustle and bustle and more tranquility here.

In this environment, everyone was very quiet, no one spoke, only the sound of footsteps.

Following Millicent's senses, he continued northwest until he was about to pass a cliff. Platinum's son, Lotina, reappeared, this time not in a hurry, but hoping that Ash would go to a place called the Apocalyptic House.

Where is her sister, as she had told Ash before, that is the responsibility of Lotina.

By the way, the ashes naturally promised, even if they didn't go by the way, the ashes would go, and what had been promised, it had to be done.

Passing by the Platinum Magic Tower, where a building towers over the snow, Lotina tells Ash that this is the hometown of the Platinum Sons of Rites, and that the Abandoned House is on the west side of Rites.
