It is a forest made up of unknown trees.

Three huge trees are close to each other and entwined with each other. It looks like a pair of triplets who have not been separated from each other after birth.

Three trees make up a detached house that looks exceptionally beautiful.

Visible signs of human intervention can be seen. The sunken roots of the trees are entwined into the gates of entry.

Huge branches extend out to form the villa's balcony, and the windows inside can be seen between the verdant foliage.

There are also vines wrapped around it, and the flowers and fruits hanging on the vines shimmer slightly. This seems to be where the night lighting comes from.

The entire grove is similar to the villa, but the composition of these three trees in front of it is clearly the best and the largest of them.

Obviously, the fusion of these three trees is not an intervention, but a special individual.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the place where you rest, the Seat of the Three Trees.

This is the best place to live in the Emerald Fortress, and I hope you have a great night. ”

As he spoke, he led the crowd in.

Walk through the gate made of tree roots, and as they enter. The roots of the tree slowly moved, turning into the door of the main door.

Two or three guards could be seen patrolling the area.

Compared to an entire area of forest, these two or three guards seemed a bit perfunctory.

But just think about what time it is, and just go through a dangerous defensive battle. You can understand why there are only a few.

The whole twisted and intertwined detached villa has a total of two floors.

There are a variety of large and small rooms.

I also let the people who lived in this kind of house for the first time express an unusual novelty.

After all, this is a house where three trees are fused together, and these three trees are still growing together very well.

Julia could clearly sense that the tree was very healthy.

Because it is used for living, even the moths have not been maintained very well.

"If there's anything going on, you can ask the guards outside for help."

The girl who was about to leave said to the crowd.

The crowd nodded.

Watch the girl say goodbye and leave.

After she left, Arka stepped on the floor made of stakes beneath her feet.

"Whew...... It's still on land, which makes people feel comfortable. ”

This swamp was somewhat uncomfortable for Arka, not because of some strange force.

It's just that it's not very good for his senses.

Because this marshland is not as endless as the sea, you can ride in a boat. It's also not as heavy as land, giving people enough security.

Beneath the surface of the sea is a layer of plants, vines, and rocks, like a swamp.

This experience of not going up or down is very uncomfortable for Alka, and the swamp is as wide as the sea.

It's even more uncomfortable.

Facing Alka's exclamation, everyone nodded in unison, except for the three sea races.

For the three sea races of Bororo, whether it is Zehai or the ocean, it is much more comfortable than the land on the island.

This is the difference that comes with race.

However, after having a safer place to stay.

Lucilia takes her army of puppets and begins to pick the right room.

"Zero, let everyone have a good rest, Wu They will check it and fix everyone's problems."

The previous battle was not without losses for the puppet girl.

Although there was no attrition, some breakage was inevitable.

Simple repairs are required.

This simple maintenance, they can now complete very well on their own, without Arka and their worries.

Fortunately, this detached villa is enough in size.

After watching the puppet girls who gathered together on twitter choose a room.

Outside a window on the second floor, the disgruntled roar of the crystal dragon could be heard.

Hearing this voice, everyone showed some helplessness, and Jason had to go upstairs immediately and comfort him by the window.

If you were outside, you could see the crystal dragon standing on a thick branch, roaring in discontent.

Next to it is a window that leads to the interior.

From the size of the crystal dragon at this time, it could be seen that the interior of a building like this was no longer suitable for her to enter.

Fortunately, the building is made of three huge trees entwined with comfortable branches above it, suitable for the crystal dragon to rest.

But for the crystal dragon, this is still not a good choice.

Don't say it's here.

Even on the ship, the Crystal Dragon has many places that cannot be entered, including the cabin and the bow and stern.

She is generally only able to move around on deck.

And her resting place had been moved to the deck, and most of the time her size took up a corner of the deck.

But this is a problem that she must face as she grows over time and grows in size.

Everyone sat around the hall, chatting and resting as they regained their strength.

Enjoy the tranquility.

"Did you see the gray-black aura coming from the border between life and death before?" Xia Daiti leaned back on a rattan chair made of rattan and asked.

Hearing this, Arka nodded.

"The monster attack on the border between life and death shouldn't have completely retreated, right?"

Hearing this, Simon nodded.

"That's right, when I just left, I found that the soldiers were still preparing. They simply cheered, and there was no roar of victory. ”

"It's okay, it's going to give us their trust and hone our attacks, so why not.

But remember to keep each other safe, we just need to stand at a safe distance and attack.

After all, we're only here to help, not to die. ”

Hearing Arka's words, everyone nodded their heads and did not make any rebuttals.

Because it is.

At times like these, helping in times of war like this, is indeed one of the easiest ways to gain trust.

This is also the main purpose for them to come at a certain risk.

In search of treasure here, they had to be helped by the locals.

Help in times of crisis is the easiest way to gain trust and respect.

"Speaking of which, haven't you seen a building like a church, a church or anything like that?" Juan Lu asked a little strangely.

They just walked all the way, and they didn't see it. church, but I did see some clergy.

Including the young girl who led them over, and the powerful old woman.

Judging by the outfits on their bodies, they should be clergy.

"I don't know, I'll know later."

Bororo said indifferently.

After chatting for a while, Arka clapped his hands and looked at everyone and said, "Okay, let's all take a rest, it's time to get a good night's sleep after walking for so long." ”

After doing the proper precautions and inspections, everyone picked a room to rest.

Even so, there are several empty rooms in the whole building for resting, which shows the size of this tree villa.

……

About a week passed.

With the help of the personnel who were later replenished, as well as Arka.

The island was safely defended, and there wasn't much loss of life in the ensuing battle.

Not far from them, the gray-black aura at the end of the field of vision also began to dissipate, indicating that this time the enemy's attack was a complete failure.

It also indicates that there will be no new offensive waves, and the next war will have to wait until a few years later.

In the past few years, they have finally been able to live a little safely.

With the formation and feet of the enemy retreating, and the aura that began to dissipate.

The soldiers, who had been fighting for a long time, finally cheered loudly.

Announcing victory in this war.

The land in front of the island, and the swamps beyond, were the debris of the plants and undead bodies that were floating in front of them.

And the blood clots of the stumps that hung from the vine walls.

But fortunately, although these enemies are all undead, they have blended with plants that represent life.

Even the corpses did not smell of decay and stench as before.

On the contrary, there are some plants that bring the medicinal smell or fragrant smell brought by the broken branches and leaves.

These debris will be the best nutrients for the plants and vines in the fortress.

They returned to the Three Trees Seat, cleaned the dirt from their bodies, and rested in the hall.

After a week, they became familiar with most of the people on the island.

He has also succeeded in gaining the trust of the people on this island, not only on this island, but also on the official forces of the Land of Spirits.

They have all gained trust, as long as they don't break the rules of others.

A whole week of war, help is not a casual talk.

Without their help, the week's time, although it is unlikely that the island will be completely captured, must have caused losses that would be unacceptable under the circumstances.

It also gave Arka a clear understanding of this hellish place.

"So what are we going to do next?"

Shadetti, who was sitting on a wicker chair, looked at Arka and asked.

Arka sat at a small wooden table with a rough map of the whole of Zehai.

Look at the safer area they're in now.

【Land of the Spirits】

[Number of treasures: white - mass, blue - mass, orange - trace. 】

Regional Difficulty: Crazy

[Area Introduction: Battle of the Six Gods, Brilliant Fragrance - Where Matilia Falls.]

The gods are not completely dead, and Our Lady is helping her to recover. The Church of Our Lady is now less difficult in the area to normal. 】

The first thing to pay attention to is the amount of treasure, there is no golden one, the only thing to pay attention to is that there is an orange treasure.

A [Scepter]-level artifact.

But the problem is nothing else, but that there is some embarrassment in the map in their hands.

The map in their hands is not a regional map, but a specification of a world map.

The world map is made up of several areas, and will show general information about the entire sea area.

Regional maps, on the other hand, give the least information, but in some cases, they can be very useful.

He will use the light point buried in the treasure on the map to display it directly, although there will be no information, but the location of the light point is the best information.

Arka: They only need to find a suitable place and draw a detailed map, so that they can accurately know the treasures represented by those points of light and more detailed information.

Due to the special structure of Zehai.

They had to think about the orange treasure they were looking for. Is it possible that it is not on the island, but in this swampy area where plants and vines are intertwined?

If it's just on the island, then their workload is actually very simple.

Just reach each island in the Land of the Spirits and draw a detailed map.

If it's not on the island, it's troublesome.

If they need to make a detailed map of the area, then they must have a broad, but rather cursory, understanding of the entire land of spirits.

In this way, the map can be recognized and then used.

Look at the map in your hand.

Arka suddenly thought of something and slapped himself on the forehead.

Looking up at Simon, who was tinkering with something.

"Simon, did any of the exploration materials you looked for earlier say that the Land of the Spirits is the most detailed map on the map?

Every area and island is determined, and nothing is missing? ”

Hearing this, Simon put down the instrument in his hand and lifted the goggles on his glasses, turned his head and nodded.

"That's how it was written, if I'm not mistaken."

Hearing this, Arka groaned, and then took the map and came to Shadetti's side.

"Are you sure you can make a separate map of this area of the Land of Spirits? Zoom in a little, especially those islands. ”

Xia Daiti looked at the detailed drawing on the map, nodded but still said: "No problem, it must be able to be separated."

But I have to make it clear up front, after all, I didn't do it myself.

The map drawn does not necessarily correspond exactly to reality, it depends on whether the map is drawn correctly or not. ”

Arka nodded: "No problem, you can draw it, if it really doesn't work, then we'll measure it ourselves." ”

"Okay."

For an orange [Scepter]-level treasure.

It's totally worth the effort.

Xia Daiti began to enlarge the drawings according to the existing maps.

Alka are all waiting on the side.

Until the sky is covered by the starry sky and the curtain of night.

Xia Daiti handed the map she had drawn to Arka.

This is much faster than before, after all, it is not difficult to simply copy and zoom in.

Arka looked at the magnified map in his hand, blinked, and began to examine it carefully.

In the midst of a slight nervousness in Arka, points of light began to appear on the map.

The moment the dots of light began to appear, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This means that the map is available.

Spots of light began to appear all over the map, scattered all over the place. Not only on the island, but also in the swampy area made of vines, there are also many points of light.

It's just that there are more points of light on the islands.

Until that dazzling pillar of orange light appeared.

The orange pillar of light was just like the worst Alka had thought, and it really didn't appear on the island.

Instead, it appears outside the island.

Follow the annotations on this map.

The largest island in the entire Land of Spirits is the one in the center of the map, and it is also the main gathering place.

And this orange pillar of light is far away from the island.

Compared to the junction area where they are now, it can be said that they are on the other side of the map of this area.

Almost on both sides of the area, it took them a long time to get there.

Arka looked at the area they were in and around it with blue and white dots of light.

And it's quite a few, and it's close to them.

After thinking about it, Arka reached out and drew a circle in the area where they were.

Once you've decided, go back to rest.

The next morning, when everyone gathered in the hall and ate breakfast quietly.

Arka said.

"Xia Daiti, today we will take a walk around the island and its surrounding area to explore. It's best to be able to draw a detailed map. ”

Hearing this, Xia Daiti nodded, and everyone was sure that Arka seemed to have a certain goal.

"The rest of us can stay here, or we can go outside and gather some information, the more the merrier."

After eating, Arka, Shadetti, Poloro, and Lucilia formed a group and began to wander around the island.

"This is where they planted, right?"

As they passed by a garden, Shadetti said.

The flowers grown in this garden are very large, and the stamens have white fruits one after another.

This white fruit is very familiar, and it is what they often eat during this time.

Flower fruit, a fruit that bears fruit from flowers.

And because of the different flowers, the fruits will be different in terms of taste and nutritional value.

There's even something like spice fruit.

It can almost be called a universal food plant.

This plant is almost the main food source on the island, and the other main food source is fish.

But in Juanlu's words, this kind of flower-bearing flower may only be able to grow in this area.

Because this thing is very much like a natural plant, it seems to have been constructed by artificial intervention or some means.

It should be a certain gift from the soon-to-be-revived gods of this region to the people of her faith.

Because there is only one plant, almost most of the plants are offset.

And the flowers grown are dense and lush, and each one can bear many flowers. Even if the plant is planted and picked, it will not wither, but will continue to bear fruit.

As a result, the inhabitants of the island are not too short of food, let alone fish.

And it is true that they did not see a church-like building on the island.

Because the official force in the whole region is the church, the so-called religious power of the flower fairy.

And there is another important factor to consider.

This area is home to a powerful god who lived tens of thousands of years ago.

Don't worry too much about anything peculiar.
