Chapter 378: The Contract of the World Tree
Ivan's memory flashed through a series of sounds and images. The way Gale looks, the Barran looks, and what an adult once said.
- He and ...... Well...... A friend of mine is together......
- Actually, Carlo is judging the Temple, think about it, what will Carlo say?
The Lord knew that Carlo was in the Temple of Judgment, with "a friend", and that the Lord happened to know the true identity of the Raven.
"Raven, you mean, Master Gale was instructed by someone to release you on purpose and let Carlo meet you, don't you?"
Ivan's voice unconsciously raised, and a faint sense of crisis poured into his spine like ice water, and he suddenly remembered that there was something important to tell the crow.
"I meanβ"
"Lord Laxis is not in the Temple of Judgment. No sooner had the crow said than Ivan interrupted him, "She's in Lord Yatel Hernos's house, that's what Master Hernos said. β
"What?"
The crow was completely stunned, and it wasn't until the light of battle flashed again above his head that he realized that he was still hiding and really shouldn't have spoken loudly. He raised his hand and made a gesture asking for forgiveness, then hurried on.
"Do you know that Lord Yatel Hernos?" Ivan followed closely behind him, asking in a low voice.
"I don't know, I've heard of it, the people of the Core Council. The crow seemed a little frustrated, even, a little self-reproachful, "How did I not think of it...... Yatel Hernos, Flotica...... Did he say why?"
The crow turned around.
"Lord Hernos said that he did not want Lord Laxis to die, but in his position, he could not help Lord Laxis. Lord Laxis was only forbidden to leave the inner city of Idglasius, as if there was no danger for the time being. β
Ivan's tone was a little tentative, about the relationship between the core council members of the Magic Alliance, Crow, an illegal magician, shouldn't know more than him, right?
The crow's expression froze for a moment. As if in a dream, he raised his head and muttered to himself.
"Could it be...... The target wasn't Flotica in the first place?"
"Isn't it?" Ivan was also taken aback, and subconsciously stepped forward and grabbed the crow's sleeve, "Tell me clearly, what do you know?"
"No!" the crow shook his head quickly, "Anyway. It's just that we seem to have been deceived!No, I'm going to have to find a way to get out of here!I don't know about Yatel Hernos!...... What did he think of us......"
This inexplicable incoherence made Ivan confused, and he felt even more suspicious. The crow seemed to be unable to calm down and think, and he frowned, looking around from time to time.
"I thought you were just here to save Mistress Laxis. Ivan's face grew ugly.
"Yes, of course I'm the one who came to save you, but now it looks like she's probably being used as bait!" Ivan. What else did Yatel Hernos tell you? Why did he tell you about it? What does he want you to do for him?" The raven spoke quickly, as if he was very anxious.
"Why should I sue you?" Ivan glared at the crow.
The chaotic brilliance of the canopy dimmed slightly, and a faint white light stood in the distance, pointing straight to the sky from the invisible horizon, and gradually disappearing into the other side of the sky. The crow turned his head suddenly, as if he had suddenly realized something. Earnestly gazing at the pure white.
"What are you looking at?" Ivan also turned his head to look in that direction. The white light is serene, surrounded by colorful points of light, separated by a dark barrier, like distant stars. Before they knew it, they had walked a long way towards the top of the hill, and what they saw was the scene on the other side of the hill.
"The Magic Tower of Passaette. The raven whispered, "I've only heard of it." This is the first time I've seen it. β
For a while, Ivan didn't understand what the crow was talking nonsense at such a time, and he was stunned for a while, and then he remembered the term Passaette Magic Tower, which he had also seen in the book - the location of the World Tree, the headquarters of the Magic Alliance.
"You ......," Ivan let go of the crow with some hesitation. Although there was a faint smile on the crow's face, there was an elusive brilliance in his eyes. It seems that there is some yearning, some anticipation. But I feel very sad and regretful.
Inadvertently, Ivan remembered when in the city of Price in the kingdom of Aura, when the crow hugged Angel. He laughed too. The smile was desolate.
"I, I've heard of the World Tree before, the miracle of human creation, with several different magical attributes, can simulate almost any magic, and is simply the goddess of the magic world. The crow slowly closed his eyes, as if intoxicated by the sight of the Magic Tower of Passaette, but ignored that the World Tree he was praising was his most dangerous enemy.
"The 'contract' of the World Tree is connected to different magic secret weapons and different magicians, giving them power, gathering their strength, and setting an unsurpassable 'law' to form a 'order' of the world. In this way, human beings create their 'world', and she is the one who supports this world, the World Tree.
"The contract of the World Tree is both power and bondage......
"How do you know so much?"
Ivan was a little panicked in his heart, and at this moment, the crow seemed to have changed into a different person, saying other people's words. That person should know the World Tree very well, but it seems that he has some ...... about the World Tree
I can't tell what kind of feelings it is.
"Could it be that accomplice of yours isβ"
"I don't have a lot of things to tell you, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just because I know you have something you have to stick to. For example, you're certainly not going to betray your alliance of wizards for the sake of a few of us, so I have something I have to hold onto. β
The crow opened its eyes, and its gaze was gentle and unmistakably firm, even ...... Shock.
"I'm not going to betray my companions, I'm sorry, there are some things I really can't tell you, if someone who shouldn't know knows, we'll all be miserable. But yes, Yatel Hernos, you'd better be careful with him. β
The words he wanted to ask were swallowed back by Ivan. The crow has already made it very clear, some things are not said or not said, the position of the two of them, at this moment, on the hill where you can see the magic tower of Passait, under the barrier of the World Tree, in the inner city of Idgradhi, after all, it is still different.
Even though...... Ivan had a small expectation in his heart, and he ...... I still really want to treat the crow as a friend.
"Hey, Raven, you're only here to save Lord Laxis, aren't you?"
Even though he already knew the crow's answer, he wanted to be sure.
"yes, but now it seems like there's nothing I can do. The crow squeezed his eyes jokingly, and a cold wind blew behind them, and the crow suddenly raised his hands and pushed Ivan coldly.
The dry leaves slipped under his feet, and Ivan, who was caught off guard, accidentally fell to the ground, and at that moment, he heard the sound of light and steady footsteps in the forest.
