() In this way, the places with ancient trees were planted, and ancient forests covered the earth.

There are also several forests guarded by the World Tree on Rhodes Island, such as the "Forest of No Return" between the Kingdom of Arrania and the Kingdom of Kano, and the "Mirror Forest" located in the north of the Principal of Mos, which are representatives. Ashuram remembers that the World Tree also exists in the "Dark Forest" of his homeland Mamo.

However, why does the World Tree appear at the bottom of the sea?

“There are plants in the sea.”

Guloda, who had seen through Ashuram's doubts, said this.

"When we dived into the seabed to investigate, we found that the seabed nearby was a huge seaweed forest. The center was an ancient tree. It was this ancient tree that dominated the spiritual power and suppressed the current and the sea breeze."

"Is it the reason why we are bound is the will of this ancient tree?"

Biluttis nodded with a deep expression.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Ashuram comforted both of them so much.

"So what are your plans now?"

"No need to say it. Since you know the reason, it will be easy to get out of this sea area."

Ashuram smiled against Rottis.

His face returned to his face as a warrior.

"Are you going there in person?"

spirit……"

Even though Bilutise said that, she knew that Ashuram had already made up his mind.

"That's why I'm going. Even if I send a knight, I'm still helpless against the opponents under the sea. So it's better to use your jing magic. Should you have a way to make me fight under the water?"

"If it were only Lord Ashuram and me, of course there would be no problem..."

Bilotis smiled and replied.

With the power of Wentini, the jing spirit magic, there are spells that can relieve the influence of water pressure and breathe in water.

"But I still want to remind you that you are no longer a knight in the personal guards, but the king who led our drifters. Please don't forget this."

Guloda advised Ashuram in this way.

I remember that there was a similar conversation between the late emperor Beirut and the palace magician Bagunad.

"That's why I'm going. I don't want to swing my sword for meaningless things anymore."

The time when he was the strongest warrior around Beirut was worth remembering.

However, his position is now different. There is no hero worthy of Ashuram's allegiance to be made, and the drifters leaving the Dark Island have decided to make Ashuram king.

Ashuram also admitted that for people without land and treasure, a king who can rely on is absolutely necessary. At present, it is undoubtedly himself who makes them strong, so he must bear this responsibility.

When you have territory and treasures, someone will come forward to compete for the throne, and then you will decide who the real king is.

"Since the number of people who can go to the bottom of the sea is limited, of course, they must be taken by the strongest warriors. However, I still hope that this kind of thing will not happen again."

"It depends on you whether it can be realized."

Ashuram said half-jokingly.

“I will pay attention.”

Guloda smiled bitterly and lowered her head.

Although Guloda is now responsible for managing the magician group of the old Mamo Empire, he himself cannot use magic. Because his master "Black Mentor" Bagunad imposed a curse of restraint on him, as long as he chants the magic, an unbearable pain will spread throughout his body.

In fact, the same spell was also cast on this black mentor.

When he was studying at the "Sage Academy" of the Magicians Guild in Arrania, he began to study forbidden magic and was cast by his senior at the time Larkas with the same spell.

However, the Black Master can still endure the pain of his whole body and sing spells, and even perform long magic rituals.

Bagunad's persistence in magic defeated the brat.

Guloda had also tried to sing spells, but after feeling the pain of almost tearing the whole body, he decisively gave up the magic.

After that, the magician who could not use magic followed Ashuram.

However, Guloda's rich knowledge and excellent mind made him Ashuram's most capable assistant. After arriving in the new world and establishing a new kingdom in the future, he will also give full play to his ruling skills as the prime minister.

"The spirit of water, the invisible girl Wendyne, makes us no longer trapped by water, nor disturbed by its weight..."

Biluttis began to sing the spell of the magic of the jing spirit.

After her spell was completed, an incredible force enveloped Ashuram. Ashuram did not resist this force, and kept the blankness in his heart and slowly accepted it.

I started to feel difficult to breathe, and I even felt that breathing the air was a little unnatural.

Ashuram tried to stop breathing, feeling only as if a foreign object was hidden in his chest.

"Let's go."

Birotis said to him.

Ashuram began to prepare to take off his armor.

"It doesn't matter if you wear armor. Your Majesty can move under the sea, but you still have to swim..."

“This is a bit troublesome.”

Ashuram pulled out the Soul-Breaking Sword, held the Demon King's Sword tightly with both hands, and then jumped over the fence and jumped into the sea.

Biluttis followed behind, and in her hand was a thin sword.

The moment he jumped into the sea, a comfortable feeling surrounded Ashuram. Although he was wearing heavy armor, he did not look like he could sink. The surrounding sea water gently enveloped him, and he felt that he could go to all directions as he pleased, as if he had assimilated with the sea water.

Ashuram sucked the sea water into his body in one breath. He felt the sea water flowing from his throat into his lungs, and a depression in his chest made him cough a few times.

Many bubbles emerge from the mouth, but when there is no more bubble, it makes people feel very comfortable.

(It's not bad.) Ashuram thought so.

Ashuram held the great sword in one hand and tried to paddle with the other.

He moved slightly to the bottom of the sea, and then stopped after stopping. As Biluttis said, it felt like walking on the ground. He would move forward as long as he stepped, and he would not move if he stopped.

The only difference from the ground is that it can move up and down in the world of water.

At this time, Biluttis also came to Ashuram's side. Her swimming figure was as beautiful as a water demon.

Countless dark green seaweeds around them grew towards the sea surface, and fish of all sizes were roaming comfortably. Looking up at the sea surface, it looked like a huge glass skylight, without even the feeling of sparkling. The sea surface was so calm that it was so incredible.

Ashuram believed that this was indeed a forest, just replacing birds, beasts and trees with fish and seaweed. Looking at the number of fish around, you can know how cold and prosperous this sea forest is.

However, for Ashuram and others, this is just a sea of ​​demons.

"I'll lead the way for you."

Bilutis held Ashuram's hand and advanced to the bottom of the sea.

Ashuram did not resist. Although Bilutis was nervous, she could see that she was quite happy inside.

This is the space where the two of them are alone, and they can temporarily forget their positions.

In fact, the same is true for Ashuram. For him, this black demon jing girl was the only object he was willing to accept.

In the past, this woman wanted to assassinate herself because Ashuram was the enemy who killed her brother, but now they have become such a relationship. Although Ashuram hates the word fate the most, he has to admit that this is an incredible fate.

Ashuram felt the cold feeling from Bilutes's hand and slowly advanced towards the seabed. The transparent but seaweed-covered forest gradually became dim.

From here you can't see the bottom of the sea. The deeper you go, the darker the water becomes, and finally you are completely shrouded in darkness.

"Do you want to summon the jing spirit of light?"

Ashuram asked this.

"Only this section will be darker, and ancient trees will emit golden light."

Bilotis shook his head and said so.

"Don't you care if you destroy the ancient trees? You black monster jing is also a forest monster?"

They inherited the dark part of the forest's natural forces.

"All we protect is the forest on land."

Birotis said resolutely.

"That's good……"

Ashuram glanced at Birotis' side face.

There was no confusion on her face. In fact, it would be best if the ancient trees could be solved without knocking down, but they didn't have time to explore other methods.

Ashuram will choose the easiest way.

If you stand on the same standpoint, what decision will the mercenary king make? What will that knight...

Such thoughts came to his mind, but he quickly denied this meaningless speculation.

After that, they went silently to the bottom of the sea. Ashuram had no idea how long he had swam, and now the surroundings were covered by darkness, and he could no longer see the sea when he looked up.
To be continued...
