Chapter 36: Origin (Part 1)

"Wait a moment."

After talking about the solution of "burning the entire Ravenwood forest to ashes", as William expected, Frollo, who had been silent, spoke.

Because of the sudden incident, William did not move away from the Duke of the Holy Tree of Jade Province after entering the house, but allowed him to listen to their conversation.

Although after hearing half of it, he had a slight feeling that this matter should not be said in front of this "outsider". But since the other party has already heard this, it is better to just let her listen to it all.

As the ruler of Ravenwood, maybe the other party can provide him with some additional information.

"Any questions?"

William asked.

On the other side, Frollo, who was about to speak, was choked by William's words.

She, who had listened to everything from the sidelines, had already lost the usual calmness and calmness that she could maintain based on her own strength.

This couldn't be completely blamed on her. After all, in the previous conversations between those people, on average, every twenty words, there would be information that made her feel numb. After listening to it all the way, she felt as if she had already understood this.

All the shocks in her life were exhausted. After hearing the end, she could hardly feel any emotion except numbness, and her brain had almost instinctively given up thinking.

It wasn't until the man called "William" by his subordinates talked about burning the entire Ravenwood forest to ashes that she suddenly came back to her senses as if she had been electrocuted. Her originally blocked thinking also

So it started flowing again.

What is "Any questions?"

In front of Rui, they directly discussed burning the entire forest to ashes - the problem here is huge, right?!

She took a deep breath and tried to sound calmer.

"What you just said was to burn the entire Ravenwood to ashes..."

"You don't have to worry about this. It's just a conjecture at the moment. After all, whether the whole thing is true or false has yet to be determined."

Before she could finish speaking, William spoke to comfort her.

On the one hand, he did this to save some face for the Duke of the Holy Tree. After all, it was somewhat disrespectful to talk about burning her country to ashes in front of him.

On the other hand, this is also a truth - I can't possibly set the entire Ravenwood forest on fire just because of that girl's gossip. Even if the other party claims to be Sybilla who existed in the past, even if

Nezemar, who was talking to her, also believed that she was telling the truth and that it was impossible for her to act so hastily.

What if this is a trap set by a void king who likes to be lively and is keen on creating dramatic effects?

To take a step back, even if it was indeed the information that Sibylla left for him, no one can guarantee that her investigation hundreds of years ago would be correct, right?

At least he won't consider such extreme options until he finds conclusive evidence.

"It's true."

However, at this moment, Furaro said with a trembling voice.

When William heard this, he quickly turned his head, stared at the other person's eyes with blue light and asked doubtfully:

"What's true?"

"It's true that the Hungry Lady can use 40 million old souls to bring herself to descend."

Floral replied.

"So, where's the evidence?"

This sentence made William suddenly become serious. He turned around to face the other party, crossed his fingers on his thighs, and asked every word.

"I can provide proof later, but what I want to know right now is...will you really burn the entire Ravenwood forest to ashes because of this?"

Facing William's aggressive gaze, Frollo asked.

"I don't know... but burning this forest to ashes is definitely not the first option."

William answered her question very frankly.

According to his understanding, the forest elves that have completely transformed into trees still retain their self-awareness.

If he really chooses to burn them all with fire, not to mention the technical difficulty of doing so, he will be responsible for 40 million living lives at once... William doesn't think he can maintain his power after doing this.

Maintain the current mental structure and continue to regard human life in this world as real human life in the future.

William could predict that if that time came, he would probably have to keep convincing himself that everything he had experienced was just data, a game full of realism.

Of course, this choice also depends on what kind of weight is on the other side of the scale.

After all, some things in this world are like this. Whoever does it is a madman or a butcher, but when the time comes, someone must do it no matter what.

"In other words, you won't give up this option either, right?"

Furaro asked confirmingly.

"If that's the only way."

Feeling a little irritated, William spread his hands helplessly and answered like this, and then continued:

"Okay, now it's your turn to answer my question. I need to confirm something now - which side are you on?"

Now that his cards have been shown, he has no intention of continuing to play the game of testing each other with this woman.

Because of the messages that were suspected to be left by Sibylla for him, this trip to the Jade Province, which was originally half a vacation, turned into a prelude to the coming storm. Whether it was a secular power struggle or the control of the Jade Province,

, now all of them have to be swept away into secondary contradictions.

Facing the possibility of the Hungry Lady coming at any time is the only thing that William needs to really pay attention to now.

"The Age of Genes"

"Which side are you on?"

Floral seemed a little puzzled.

"You said before that you signed a contract with Ms. Hungry."

William reminded.

While he was speaking, his etheric domain also began to prepare spells.

"I need her power to destroy the core of the World Tree, but that doesn't mean I'm her slave."

Floral replied.

"If you know enough about the Moon Realm, you should know that most of the time the two are actually the same thing."

Throughout history, there have been countless people who thought they could control the Moon Realm with their own power, and most of them have become footnotes embodying the bewitching abilities of the Void Kings.

"Just like when you used the Corruption Blade with the power of the Lady of Famine to destroy the core of the World Tree in half?"

Regarding William's words, Floro retorted like this.

This made William silent. After a while, he didn't know how to explain, so he had to change the topic.

"Let's not talk about my affairs for now... Why do you want to use the power of Lady Hungry to destroy the core of the World Tree? I have asked this question before, but I think it is not a sufficient reason just for personal interests.

.”

"Oh my god, so you're really William Caine?"

Seeing that the other party did not refute the example she gave, Fularo took a slight breath and said.

Although Nezemael and the others had roughly guessed the man's identity from the previous names and attitudes towards this man. But she still couldn't believe it for a while, until she got confirmation from the other man's extremely natural words and deeds.

Only then can I be truly sure of this.

"If I'm not, maybe you can try to find someone else who can use [Anti-Entropy]."

In response, William shrugged, and then asked again:

"So, what is your real purpose in destroying the core of the World Tree?"

Furaro hesitated for a moment, and finally, she said the thing that could make all forest elves lose their faith:

"The Hungry Lady Camilla, she... was once a forest elf, and may even be the first forest elf in history. The so-called World Tree was actually a tree that she transformed into when she was a mortal.

Body."
