The royal capital is an ancient and prosperous city. It is noon, the sun is a bit harsh, and the streets are bustling with people.
A girl with blond hair and an apprentice mage's robe was running quickly on the street. The street paved with square stone slabs was very smooth. Even if it had just rained last night, there was no trace of the square stone being trampled over. The closer she got, the closer she got.
The more living things can reflect a country's national strength, the more likely it is that the empire is obviously in a strong stage.
The mage apprentice Peppa Ni walked through an alley under the scorching sun and finally arrived at the predetermined location.
Stopping, Peppa Ni no longer cared about the ladylike posture that the etiquette teacher often mentioned. She put her hands on her knees and gasped for air. Her hair was stuck to her face with sweat. Her lungs felt like they were about to explode. She took in big breaths.
Sometimes, there may even be a faint sweetness in the throat.
"Pepenny, you were a third and a quarter of an hour late. You made everyone wait for you for a third of a quarter, and wasted a third of everyone's life."
An old man with white beard and hair, wearing a white court robe, spoke. He had a serious look and was meticulously dressed. He was a old-fashioned and stern old court mage.
"Sorry, my servant forgot..."
"Excuse."
"I'm late. I deserve to be thrown into endless purgatory."
The redness on the face of the mage apprentice Pepeni almost spread to the root of her neck. It would be fine if only her mentor was present, but there were five other mage apprentices around. She wanted to find a place to hide when she was scolded in this situation.
Get in.
"Stop talking nonsense, and you all, follow up. After entering the library, you only have a quarter of an hour, so put your little thoughts away. After a while, you will pass by the sealing tree and you can watch it from a distance. It is the most powerful sealing technique.
, is the art of miracles.”
After the old palace mage said these words, the six mage apprentices present all looked happy. They had only heard of the Encircling Tree. Even if the giant tree was very tall, they could not usually see it, even if they stood on the top of the building and looked at it.
There is surgical occlusion.
A group of seven people walked quickly, following the forest path, and soon arrived at the west side of the library. The old palace mage who was walking in the front stopped and looked at the giant tree in the distance.
The trunk of this giant tree is several meters thick. The branches and leaves of the crown are emerald green. In its middle area, there are a large number of silver lines. Each of these lines is as wide as a palm and overlaps each other.
Eight guards wearing armor stood straight under the giant tree. On the outer edge, there were hundreds of soldiers stationed, and there were even more secret sentries hidden in the surrounding area.
Moreover, the area within a radius of five kilometers is a restricted area. If it weren't for the old palace mage's wide connections, he would not be qualified to enter here.
Even if you enter, you can only look at the 'Enclosing Tree' from a few hundred meters away. If you get within 500 meters, you will be killed without mercy. This is true for the middle and high-level officials of the empire.
"Teacher, why does it smell strange?"
The mage's apprentice Peppa Ni wrinkled her nose, a rotten odor mixed with the smell of sweat was stimulating her sense of smell.
"Strange smell?"
The old court mage smelled it and didn't smell anything, but he frowned. More than ten years ago, he was a member of the battlefield.
"What a weird smell."
Hearing the question from the old palace mage, Peppa Ni was inevitably a little nervous. She smelled it again and almost spit it out.
"There is a rancid smell, very light, but very pungent..."
"Like the smell of spoiled fruit? And a very faint smell of sweat?"
"Yes, that's the smell, mentor, have you smelled it too..."
Before Peppa Pig finished speaking, an impact force came from her side, and the pressure of the technique enveloped her.
"Guards, gray orcs sneak in!!"
The old court mage ignored his grace and roared at the top of his lungs, which immediately alerted the soldiers near the Encircling Tree.
"Heh~"
A magic apprentice next to the old palace mage grinned. He raised his hand, and his index finger suddenly split open. A gray-white index finger with sharp claws exploded the original human index finger.
This magic apprentice was disguised as a gray orc. He thrust his hands into his chest and pulled hard to both sides.
There was a pop, blood and organs splashed, space fluctuations appeared, gray arms stretched out one after another, and in an instant, hundreds of gray orcs appeared.
‘War power·rotation.’
A soldier captain holding a spear and wearing scale armor appeared in the center of the gray orcs at some unknown time.
The lance in the soldier captain's hand rotated, and a large whirlpool appeared, crushing all the gray orcs sucked into it.
This soldier commander who retired from the battlefield had no fancy moves. All his spear skills were used to kill enemies. How to kill more enemies as quickly as possible was his only consideration.
Blood and broken limbs fell, and the soldier stood on the ground covered with flesh and blood. His sharp eyes looked around, sensing all the disturbances.
Tick, tick~
It was like liquid dripping. Hearing this sound, the soldier opened his mouth and fired a shot across the air.
"ah!!"
The shrill female howl spread, turning into layers of sound waves and spreading to the surroundings. A demon ghost hidden in the air appeared. If you look at her body above the abdomen, she is a beauty. As for the body below the abdomen, it's okay not to look at it.
The soldier captain was very experienced. Many of his comrades-in-arms had their eardrums shattered by the howls of demons on the battlefield. However, as long as you open your mouth and reduce the frequency of eardrum vibration, you can avoid deafness.
With a swipe, a spear light slashed through, and the demon floating in mid-air was chopped into two pieces.
The old palace mage in the distance also opened his mouth. As for the several magic apprentices behind him, except for Peppa Ni and the two teenagers, they all fell to the ground, bleeding to death from seven holes. The old palace mage could not protect everyone.
The soldier captain hit the ground with the lance in his hand, and the blood on the tip of the lance was blown away. He was somewhat used to this kind of thing.
The soldier captain just turned his head to look at the ringed tree. The scene in front of him made his cheek twitch. All the soldiers froze in place, as someone ruthless had arrived.
An extremely beautiful demon ghost disappeared into the air. Before she disappeared, she glanced at the ring seal tree. Whether she can succeed this time depends on Zewu's performance. That is the ancient tree tribe.
Kakaka~
The dim-colored branches became entangled, eventually forming a big hand of trees, which slapped the trunk of the surrounding tree and began to erode.
Bang!
The hammer passed by and a guard recovered. He was only affected for 0.2 seconds.
"Here we come again, more than a dozen times a month. Aren't these gray orcs bored?"
The soldier holding a heavy hammer quickly came to the ringed tree. When he saw that there was only a trace of damage on the trunk, he was relieved. This kind of damage can be repaired by the ringed tree within a few seconds.
"Jiaba, it's your turn to clean up the body this time."
"I understand, please continue to be vigilant. What do the big shots in the capital think and allow outsiders to come here?"
The soldier captain Jiaba glanced at the old palace mage. The old palace mage coughed slightly in embarrassment. He came here with selfish motives. He wanted to see how the magic on the ring-sealing tree worked, but this
This time he got into big trouble.
"I'm sorry."
The old court mage looked at the corpses behind him and felt dizzy. They were all the heirs of nobles.
"After a while, someone will come to you for questioning, but most of the gray orcs fell from above. Even if you don't come, they will find other ways, so don't worry too much."
Soldier Captain Jiaba smiled. This was just a matter of human nature. He had formed a good relationship with this old court mage, which he might use in the future. If the other party was suspicious and was a spy sent by the Chaos Legion, he could still take the opportunity to set up a trap.
In other words, no matter what, he had no loss.
Boom!
A loud noise was heard, and the soldier captain Jiaba immediately turned his attention and looked at the encircling tree. The slight damage on the enclosing tree just now had a large bulge outward, and it seemed that the inside had been hit hard.
Boom!!
The ground shook, and dust on the surrounding ground was raised at least half a meter high.
Looking at the ringed tree, Soldier Captain Jiaba's pupils shrank to the limit, and his hand holding the lance was shaking.
Boom!!!
Like an earthquake, the trunk on the front of the Encircling Tree shattered, and fragments flew everywhere. One of them flew past the cheek of the apprentice mage Pepponie, leaving a trace of blood on her fair skin. From just now, she was stunned.
I forgot to escape.
Blood energy burst out from the breach in the ring-sealed tree, and the entire ring-sealed tree was instantly covered with cracks.
"Hoo~"
The sound of breathing came from the hole in the ringed tree, and white air rose. The ringed tree was pitch black, and a pair of red eyes stood out in the darkness.
