In the treehouse at the top of the giant Tyrion tree, rainbow light flashed.

Leon looked at the familiar room, exactly as it had been when he left.

"What about Mom," he asked.

"She's looking for a passage to a new world, she hasn't shown up for half a month, and I can't contact her, but don't worry, with the Rainbow Bridge in hand, she is likely to teleport back from thousands of miles away in the next moment. ”

Leon's expression moved slightly.

If they can find a new world, it means that they have a way back, and many things that were originally urgent can also relax a little.

"Is there any progress in the search for a new world?"

Lagaia hesitated, "I don't know either, because my knowledge is limited, and I haven't been able to help her in this regard, so she has been researching it herself." ”

But she immediately added: "But the last time she left, she seemed to be in a good mood, and I guess there should be progress." ”

"That couldn't be better. ”

Li Ang let out a long breath, feeling that the burden on his shoulders was much lighter.

He stood up, leaned against the window, and looked out the window at the chirping tree elves, who were swarming to salute him and welcome him back.

He greeted them as well.

Lagaia asked tentatively, "Why don't you swim to the underwater world again, on my ghost ship?" ”

"Of course it's good, it's just that I have limited time. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I'm going to leave tomorrow. ”

Lagaia's face sank suddenly.

"I think it would be a better choice for you to leave now. ”

Li Ang said with a dry smile: "I'm sorry sister, I just came back this time to see you, and there are many important things waiting for me to do." ”

Lagaia frowned: "Could it be that without you, the world would not work?"

Li Ang said: "Sister, I have already entered the second order of the sequence, and I have accumulated three divinities, there is a trial waiting for me, I must break through to the high sequence as soon as possible." ”

"You're showing me off"

"No, I just want to have enough strength to protect you. ”

Ragaia's face looked a little better, and she snorted softly, "But no matter what, it's too much to stay for just one day." ”

"I'm really sorry, if I had a choice, I'd rather stay in the Witches' Forest forever, it's the perfect home for me. ”

Li Ang said solemnly: "However, to protect this family, it is far from enough to just be in the middle sequence. ”

"Okay, I forgive you. ”

"Then let's go to the bottom of the sea"

"Forget it, how can you have that kind of free time in just one night, tell me about what you've been through in the past year. ”

"Good. ”

Leon sat down and began to tell the story of his departure from the Witches' Forest to the Tavern of the Trees and Fists in Milan, where he met Innieri of the Wolf School.

...

The Kingdom of Jerusalem was a Latin kingdom formed by the Crusaders who occupied Syria.

Strictly speaking, the Crusaders belonged to the invaders, so the vast majority of the indigenous people here, who had to exclude those Western Europeans who had immigrated, were quite dissatisfied with the rule of the Crusaders.

Therefore, the successive uprisings have never stopped.

On this day, in the sea south of the island of Cyprus, a group of rebels, or pirates, who had just robbed a Venetian merchant ship, were sailing north in galleys.

The lookout on the mast suddenly said incoherently: "Ship...... Captain, look over there. ”

"What's that?"

On the calm sea, a large area of pitch-black shadows quickly spread, like a huge cuttlefish, constantly spitting out ink.

Immediately after, the waves splashed.

A ghost ship filled with green moss, barnacles, and other growths burst out of the water, densely covered with translucent ghosts.

The pirates turned pale with fright, and immediately steered their ships into the distance.

There are many bizarre legends on the sea, and the rumors of ghost ships have long been ingrained in the hearts of everyone who lives by the sea.

And this ship is naturally the ghost ship sent by Lagaia to deliver Leon.

Leon said to the crew: "Don't go near the shore anymore, you can send me here, the church here is very strong, after you show up, you should be more careful when you return." ”

"We understand, young master, take care. ”

The ghost crew saluted him, and then steered the decaying ship into the sea.

Leon glanced at the pirates over there, ignored them, and after lowering his presence, jumped into the water and swam slowly towards the shore.

...

Kingdom of Jerusalem, seaport city, Ashkelon.

The architecture here has a distinctly desert style, with very small windows, and Muslims wearing red, black, and gray turbans live awkwardly with the Catholics.

Western European immigrants could not have taken full possession of the land, even after they had committed many massacres in the hundreds of thousands.

It is a tavern run by the Catholics, and there is not a single Muslim in it, whether Sunni or Shia, who are not allowed to drink alcohol in this era.

The tavern was crowded with pilgrims and merchants from all over the city.

Leon looked around and sat down in a corner, the only place where there were still empty seats.

At the table sat a man with a black hood and tattoos on his arms, the kind of tattoos that Leon was sure he had seen with his own eyes.

"Can I sit here?"

"Of course. ”

Leon asked for two glasses of ale and pushed one of them to the opposite side: "I didn't expect to see the Celtic druids here, I invite you to have a drink." ”

"I didn't expect to meet witchers here, and the boundaries of your activity rarely cross Constantinople. ”

The druid looked up, his face was also covered with tattoos, although he looked like a middle-aged man, the vicissitudes of insight into the world in his eyes made Leon can't help but secretly speculate that he was at least hundreds of years old.

Li Ang smiled: "If it weren't for the important things to do, I wouldn't have come here." ”

"Who isn't. ”

The druid's expression was gloomy: "There is no forest here, there is no meadow, and there are dry bones buried under every inch of the land, which is unbearable. ”

Leon smiled, "To be honest, you're not the same druid I imagined. ”

"People say that the druids are a group of stubborn, stubborn, old-fashioned, cold hermits, but in reality we are just a little more thoughtful than ordinary people. ”

"I can understand that pioneers are always not understood. ”

"Pioneers"

The druid said with interest, "It's the first time I've heard someone call us pioneers. ”

"You are passionate about protecting forests and vegetation because losing them can lead to flooding, climate warming, glaciers melting, sea levels rising, flooding coastal land, and all sorts of natural disasters. ”

There was a hint of surprise in the druid's expression: "You really know"

Li Ang smiled: "But with all due respect, you are a pioneer one step ahead of others, but you are too far ahead, and it is understandable to be regarded as a madman." ”

The druid snorted, "The consequences of losing the forest are already being felt in many places. ”

He paused slightly, and carefully examined Leon's face: "It seems that I just met you in Oslo not long ago. You also came here in the teleportation array."

Li Ang was slightly stunned, shook his head and said, "No, but I also used some unconventional methods of hurrying." ”

He said, looking around, "Mr. Druid, you should be able to sense that there is something wrong with this tavern."

"Are you referring to twelve dried corpses in the walls, or eight skeletons buried under the foundations?"

Leon added: "The evil spirits have long inhabited this place, and I think that if you ask the tavern owner, you will know that one or two travelers die here on a regular basis." ”

The druid said with a nonchalant expression: "There is a shortage of water and food here, but there is no shortage of dead people, and there is a mass grave not far ahead, where the Crusaders set off a massacre." ”

Li Ang was slightly stunned, and chuckled: "Aren't people saying that there is a land heaven flowing with honey and milk here, why is there a shortage of water and food?"

"Do you believe in such absurd and exaggerated legends"

"I don't believe it, but no matter how exaggerated it is, there must always be some practical basis. ”

"It used to be rich, but that was before the Crusader robbers arrived, and the religious lunatics were here to unleash one massacre after another, and there were dead souls wailing under every inch of the land. ”

The druid's tone was slight, and he said with some emotion: "Civilization is always destroyed by barbarism, but the Egyptians and Seljuks are not the Romans who were in the early days, and Saladin, the prime minister of Fatima, is a powerful person, and the crusaders may not be able to please him in his hands." ”

Compared with the Germanic people, the Celts are actually considered civilized, but unfortunately, civilization is often no match for the sword.

"Saladin"

Leon had heard this impressive name, and in the history of his previous life, the sultan who founded the Ayyubid dynasty managed to defeat the Kingdom of Jerusalem and regain the Holy City.

He was the most chivalrous heretic in all of the Middle Ages - even his enemies admired him greatly.

However, that was without the intervention of extraordinary power, with the White Feather Demon here, could he still achieve this feat

Leon frowned.

The druid asked, "Is it convenient to reveal your intention for coming to the Balak region?"

"Not very convenient. ”

"I wouldn't mind talking to you, maybe we have the same goal, after all, there's nothing we can covet here. ”

Leon shook his head and said, "I'm sure our goals don't coincide. ”

He's going to the purgatory cloister, how can a normal person go to that kind of place.

The druid's tone was somewhat mysterious: "I'm looking for a passage to the eastern world, the legendary silk nation of Selis. ”

Li Ang was stunned: "Silk Country Selis"

Isn't that Huaxia!

The China of this era should still be in the last years of the Song Dynasty

His heart was stirring.

The druid continued: "The Silk Nation of Celis exists in another world, and the church here hides a portal, and I guess behind that door leads to that country. ”
