The imperial capital of the Grimm Empire is located in the crater of Mount Majaro, perhaps living in the imperial capital for too long, and has a very special affection for the valley surrounded by mountains.So I looked at the thorn crater in the south of the Black Forest in front of me, and I also had a strange feeling in my heart, it looked like a huge volcanic crater with a diameter of dozens of kilometers, and the rolling mountains surrounded a very complete and regular huge ring, and we were standing at the crack of the ring at the moment, which was the only entrance to the thorn crater.A few young indigenous warriors led us along a narrow mountain path over this thorny crater.When we really walked into this mountain, we found that it was different from other peaks, the black rock mass has appeared on the surface of the huge cracks under the changes of time, and the cliff wall on the outside of the entire thorny crater is covered with sharp rock pillars dozens of meters high, these black rock pillars look like rhinoceros horns, growing naturally on the mountain wall.The cliff is covered with a dense forest of thistles, a leafless tree full of thorns containing trace amounts of toxins that magnify the pain, and it is said that even the best climbers of the Nibru Spider cannot climb the steep mountain walls.The valley road leading to the Thorny Crater is not too wide, allowing four horses to walk in parallel, and the steep section is carved with simple stone steps, which look like the traces of indigenous people.The obsidian-like extensions looked dull and loose, the rocks were full of cracks and the cracks on those black rocks looked like the texture of some kind of tree, I stopped in some shock, looked up at the nearly 1,000-meter-high crater, the veins between the walls looked like the bark of a giant tree that had grown for hundreds of thousands of years, and the majestic momentum of the thorny crater made me have an urge to worship.Seeing that I was standing still, the indigenous warriors stood on the mountain path in front of me and waited for me silently.They didn't rush and didn't ask any kind, as if they were pure guides.Puyaka had been following me closely, ignoring the young native warrior's eyes, no matter how much she tried to convey the message with her eyes.I withdrew my gaze and continued on my way with Puyaka and Katarina, who I was tempted to talk to the young native warrior at the moment.I didn't know the name of the native warrior, and I looked at him, only to feel that in his eyes, I was like transparent air, and he had no intention of communicating with me.Puyaka followed me, a little uneasy along the way.She bit her red lip gently, her white teeth as if to bite her lip blood, and occasionally looked at me with some weakness.This beautiful indigenous girl has the embodiment of the Grimm Empire on her body, with the same aesthetic as the imperial people, she ties her long soft hair into a long black braid, she has a pure white pearl earring hanging on her ears, she is wearing a delicate leather armor, and the lace-up long leather boots are also popular in the imperial capital this year.Every aboriginal is a walker in the forest, she walks through the mountains and forests like a smart deer, although she is full of thoughts at the moment, but still looks at the valley with a kind of worship, her eyes are as clear as the water of a deep lake.Our group stood at the mountain pass and looked down into the valley, the valley was surrounded by black mountains, the verdant dense forest was like a sea of emerald trees in front of us, and five tall ancient war trees stood in the valley, and I could already feel the call of these ancient war trees at this time.Unexpectedly, there are not only two ancient war trees on the bridge of the sunrage, but even this thorn crater also lives in five ancient war trees, so there are only twelve ancient war trees left in the Black Forest, and more than half of them live near the thorn crater, and there is also an ancient war tree that has just fallen at the bridge of the Sunrage Bridge, maybe now there are only eleven war trees left in the entire Black Forest.Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance down at the three keys of power hanging around my neck.Unexpectedly, in just two months, I was actually fortunate enough to see nine ancient war trees one after another, in addition to the ancient war tree Anniyuddin in the Cracked Stone Cemetery and the ancient war tree Weisman in the green valley jungle, there are actually seven trees hidden here, no wonder this place is called the holy land of the indigenous people, if this place is really captured by the Nibru spiders, maybe the ancient tree clan may really be wiped out by the Nibru spiders in the Hiero plane.It wasn't until we walked into the valley of the Thorny Crater, a dense forest, that the young indigenous warriors stopped in front of this dense forest, and one of the indigenous warriors spoke to us quickly, and Puyaka told me that they had no right to enter the Holy Land, so they had to send us here, and that we had to walk the road ahead.Seeing that the young warrior of the Gilda tribe was about to leave with everyone, I felt that it was necessary to talk to him about Puyaka, at least I wanted to know what kind of character I was in this matter, perhaps in the eyes of these natives, I was a nasty noble lord who forcibly tore apart a love in the tribe called Gilda by virtue of power and money.So I walked up to the young native warrior and stretched out my hand to stop him.I stood in front of him and said, "Maybe we need to talk about Puyaka," his pupils were a little dark, but his face was expressionless, he didn't even look at me, just looked at the path of the crater of thorns without saying a word.Puyaka behind me looked a little flustered, she hugged my arm with both hands, the expression on her face was a little pitiful, and said to me in a pleading tone: "No, this is my choice, it has nothing to do with Shahuk." ”She probably thought I was going to trouble the young native named Shahrukh, but I had no intention of doing so.Pujak looked serious, and even said to me in a tone of oath: "When Wu chose me and Connie to be your maids, this was destined to be the fate of me and Connie, and no one can change this matter. ”I'd love to tell Puyaka that she can be bold enough to pursue the love she wants.On the side of the Grimm Empire, in addition to the personal maids, the other handmaidens of various positions are just a decent job for the common people.I was about to say this, but Puyaka seemed to understand what I was trying to say, or if someone had already told her this, and she hurriedly said to me: "If I do something wrong, you can beat me, scold me, and punish me, but please don't drive me away, please!"
”Raising my hand, I said to Puyaka, "Whatever you want." ”Look out at the native warriors who return to the Bridge of Sunrage, and the best of these tribes will return to their tribes in the future, and most of them will become the leaders of the tribes.In an indigenous tribe, the tribal witch is the supreme existence, under normal circumstances, the witch does not participate in the daily affairs of the tribe, the real tribal management is the elder of the tribe, and the tribal leader is just the big leader who usually leads the indigenous warriors to hunt, gather, explore, and fight.Looking at the back of this group of young indigenous warriors leaving, I thought to myself: maybe this young Shah Rukh will also be a great leader in the Gilda tribe in the future.In front of our eyes, a quiet boulevard appeared, and the weeds on the ground fell to the sides, and the vines hanging on the trees rolled up to the branches as if they had come to life, and walked through the forest, and the whole forest seemed to welcome me.As I passed by each of the tree spirits, it was as if they were saluting me, and the whole forest seemed so alive.In fact, the valley of the Thorn Crater is very large, and it takes a long time to walk from the edge of the crater to the center, and the dense forest here is probably the only jungle that has not been invaded by the Nibru spiders, and the forest is full of all kinds of small animals, and when we pass through the woods, there will always be some small beasts running away.Perhaps there will be a beautiful lake in the center of each of the craters.A few small streams that meander from different directions form a lake in the center of the Thorn Crater, surrounded by five ancient war trees nearly two hundred meters high, and a small island in the center of the lake, I suspect that perhaps the seed of the World Tree among the indigenous people is in the middle of the lake.Puyaka came to the lake, and she knelt on the sand by the lake, clasped her hands together and prayed sincerely.I felt an ancient tree of war calling out to me through the spirit world, so I didn't stay where I was, leaving Puyaka alone while I continued to walk towards one of the ancient trees, Katerina followed closely behind me."
It's a pleasure to meet you, friend from afar."
The ancient war tree by the lake said to me.I stood at its feet like an ant at the feet of a giant elephant, and it seemed that this was the wise man of the ancient tree of war, the man of words in the valley of thorns.Then it added a lot of titles to me, which made me a little confused, and I just heard it say: "The noble lord of the human realm, the young water elemental magician, and the hero of the forest who has been recognized by Visman, Sail, and Anniyuddin, thank you from the bottom of my heart, for being able to come over and help us defend the bridge of the Sunwrath at the most dangerous moment of the thorny crater, and we can see your sincerity from what you have done." ”I'm glad he said that, and the fact that the other War Trees didn't say anything to contradict it suggests that they were inclined to ally themselves with me.So taking this opportunity, I hurriedly said to it: "Wise Elam, I just saw the horror of the Nebru spider-men, and I was bent on driving these spider-men out of our homeland, although my warriors are brave and good at fighting, but I want those powerful dark spider-man warriors, I hope to get the help of the forest dryads, which will make our battle easier." ”After saying this, I took out a piece of paper from my bosom and said to the wise man of Elam: "We came with sincerity and came to the southern region of this beautiful and rich forest, and we have come to form an alliance with you, I have here the decree issued by the Duke of Samoyed, the best commander of the Yero Empire in the Empire, and we recognize the legal status of the aborigines of the Hiero plane" said a lot of laws and regulations in favor of the aborigines of Hiero, etc., but this ancient tree of war waited for me to finish speaking without expressing his position, and he only said to me in the end:" If you can do one thing for me, I would be happy to form an alliance with you, and perhaps we can make a non-aggression pact between us. ”I couldn't help but ask the wise man of Elam curiously, "What do you need me to do?"
”Without hesitation, the Ancient Tree of War Elam said to me, "Take the twelve keys of power and help us access the forbidden circle in this forest." ”I didn't expect it to be such a request, the ancient tree of war, Elam actually wanted me to lift the ban in the Black Forest.So I pointed to the leaves of the three keys of power on my chest and said to Ilam, "But I only have three keys of power in my hand at the moment" The ancient tree of war shuddered violently, and I even read a sense of excitement in him.Then I heard it say to me, "It's okay, you'll have ten keys of power in no time, but in the hands of that mad tree in the Sick Wood Forest, it's definitely not easy to get that mad tree to recognize you, because it's a complete mad tree!"
”Crazy War Ancient Tree?
What do I need to do with it, kill it?
Or try to convince it?
How can a crazy ancient tree of war be convinced?
I can't help but feel a little big when I think about it.Alam added: "And that's not the most troublesome. ”Well, I knew it wasn't that simple.With a smile on his face, the wise man said to me, "The most troublesome thing is that you have to try to find Divar in the mire of fog, he has the twelfth key of power in his hand, you have to find a way to convince him, he has always been very unsociable, and there is a certain prejudice against us, he even severed contact with us, I want to say that only by gathering the twelve keys of power can there be hope that the seal of this forest will be lifted." ”It's hard to say whether an unsociable War Tree is still a War Tree that stands on the opposite side of the War Tree in the Thorn Crater, after all, the World Tree created this Sealing Circle in the first place to end the scuffle between the War Trees.I found this a little difficult, and just as I was hesitating, Elam the Ancient Tree of War said to me, "As long as this ban is lifted, I will be able to form a powerful army of Treants, and together we will drive out the insects." ”Well, hearing it say that, there's no reason why I shouldn't try.So I blinked my eyes and said to the war tree Elam, "An army of treants is really something I can't refuse, but now we are facing an army of spider-men outside the Bridge of Sunrage, and I need your treants to actively cooperate with my Constructed Knights to fight together, and only by removing the crisis here can I free my hands to find the last two keys of power." ”The Ancient Tree of War, Elam Sage, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Of course, from now on, all the Treants in the Southern Forest will fully cooperate with your battle. ”
