Chapter 33: Breath of Stone
Mountains bless ......
Just hearing this greeting, Lindsay had an idea in her heart.
Then look at the other person's body made of earth and stone, and the friendly green color displayed on the map.
"You're an elemental creature? And it's earthy? ”
"As you can see." The elemental creature sitting in place directly admitted, "You can enjoy this kind of protection, and I don't need to introduce my own population again." ”
Now Lindsay knew where the other party's kindness came from.
【Mountain Protection】
[Increases the perception ability of the earth element, and increases the initial favor of the life of the earth element.] 】
The blessing of Suramo's farewell is still in effect.
And unlike glacial elements, which can only perceive this effect.
At this moment, the earth elemental creatures in front of Lindsay were directly boosted by this effect.
This is also the real reason why the other party sent the root beard elder and sent a reminder.
“……”
Lindsay quietly put her middle and index fingers together and shook them three times from side to side.
After seeing the red on the side, he immediately understood.
This is the code agreed upon by the two.
After that sudden encounter on the cliff, Lindsay also realized the problems caused by information asymmetry.
Wanting to change a person's personality in a short period of time, Lindsay believes that he does not have the brainwashing skills of Yuri.
So he took the easy approach.
Make an appointment with Red, and set the code gesture early.
The meaning of this action at this moment is to show that the guy in front of him is in a safe state, and he should not use force.
At this time, the elemental creature in front of it spoke again, and it asked Lindsay very politely:
"Human, can you tell me where your blessings come from?"
Lindsey immediately replied:
"A gift from an elder named Sulamor, who is also an elemental being."
The existence of the Spirit of the Mountains is too old, and the current atmosphere of public opinion is not friendly to this kind of existence, so Lindsay only said a name.
“……”
"Forgive me for being unheard, but it must be a great being."
Sure enough, this elemental life in the Black Mountain World didn't know about Suramo either, and it thought for a moment before shaking its head regretfully.
Lindsay was not overly obsessed with the issue either.
He directly switched the topic to the current situation of everyone:
"So you specially sent this Rootbeard Elder to warn of the danger, just because of my protection?"
The elemental creature continued to shake its head:
"Not necessarily."
"The protection of this compatriot makes me know that you are a friend of the earth,"
"But aside from your safety, I really don't want anyone to enter the forest again."
Lindsay raised an eyebrow: "Why?" ”
"Please allow me to introduce myself." The elemental creature said in a long tone, "The earthly world of the Great Forest is governed by the Mother Tree, and it has flourished for thousands of years. And under this development, the underground world has also changed. ”
"In a natural breath, the mountains and rocks led by me awaken their wisdom, and we stabilize the veins of the earth and help the growth of all living beings in the forest......"
The mountain stone elemental seems to be more attuned to a certain slow rhythm of dialogue, and it seems that it is about to fall into a long memory.
Red couldn't help it at this time, and directly interrupted the other party's description:
"Hey, let's talk about why you shouldn't go into the forest?"
The mountain stone elemental paused, but still responded in obedience to Hong's thoughts:
"It's just my sheer kindness."
"The Great Forest is under the control of the Mother Tree, and many plants that have awakened their spirituality will naturally react when they encounter humans, and thus be detected by the Mother Tree. If you rush in, you are undoubtedly asking for your own death. ”
Lindsay refuted this answer:
"Just a reminder, there must be more ways to do it."
"Instead of sending his men to observe us, or even finally invite us to you."
Lindsey stared at the stone elemental in front of her.
Although I don't know the physical state of this elemental creature, I can also infer this guy's weakness from the fact that it was quite weak even when it got up just now.
"Bringing a dangerous presence like ours to the fore, you must have a reason to do so!"
“……”
For a moment, the mountain stone element fell silent.
The two humans in front of him quickly advanced the rhythm of the topic, making it not too uncomfortable.
But one thing must be admitted, the other party's guess was correct.
The light at the joints of the mountain stone elemental flickered for a few seconds, and then instead of answering immediately, it asked a question:
"Human, what is your purpose? Like those humans before him, in order to escape from this world? ”
Lindsey just uttered a simple name:
"Dragoon."
The light in the elemental joints of the mountain stone suddenly became intense:
"Human!"
"The power of that beast is not something you can resist!"
This time, Lindsay didn't take out the [Brilliant Bullet] to convince the other party as she did with the Spirit of the Mountains.
After entering the world of Montenegro, this hole card is doomed to fate.
It will only reappear in the world the moment it is used.
Faced with the mountain stone element in front of her, Lindsay's choice was to ask confidently:
"You're no match for the drakes either, but aren't you trying to resist too?"
“……”
The mountain elemental fell silent again.
Lindsay's guess was right, or that was the only outcome.
The creatures that were born in the great forest, the choice of escaping their homeland, the weakened state, and the scarcity of manpower.
These conditions come together.
It will only be the remnants of the forces that once resisted the dragon beast, but experienced failure, so they lurked and fled.
After a long time, the mountain stone element spoke again:
"Humans, not to mention drakes, you are not even a match for the Mother Tree."
Lindsay replied in a serious tone and with a firm gaze:
"That's why you called us here."
“……”
"You humans are really quick to think."
The mountain stone element sighed with emotion, and then attached a message:
"What I've heard may not be accurate. But perhaps the beast is in such a hurry to advance because of your human threat. ”
"Oh?" Lindsay raised an eyebrow.
A threat to humanity?
Hidden frontiers, almost cornered, could never be the source of this threat.
If the news is true, it could only come from the other side of the world.
Just as Lindsay was secretly speculating about the reliability of this news, the Mountain Stone Elemental continued to speak:
"My fate is near, and I can't help you more."
"But this thing must be useful on the road, please take it."
The words landed, and two water-blue stone tablets appeared from the hands of the mountain stone elemental.
The elder of the root whiskers on the side immediately stepped forward, picked up the two stone tablets, and solemnly brought them to the two humans.
Lindsay took the small jade plaque.
【Strange Thing: Breath of Stone】
[A special item that condenses the essentia of the soil system.] After holding, it can change the owner's external aura. 】
[A strange thing with a special function, no one is currently asking for it.] 】
"A final word of advice."
Lindsay frowned and observed the strange object in his hand, and the mountain stone element finally admonished:
"The Mother Tree has gone into madness."
"With my breath, as long as you don't get close to her main body, you won't be in danger."
"Compared to that, the messenger of the drake beast may need your attention more."
