Part Two: The Human World Chapter 60 Everyone Gets Busy
Asa woke up and felt like he was floating in the water. Strange and gentle touches brushed his body. His muscles and skin were regenerating like mushrooms under the bright sun after the rain, seemingly slowly but actually at an incredible speed. This was full of emotions.
The feeling of softness and vitality finally stayed on his face. Slowly, Asa felt the light again and saw a green patch of business. The green retreated and he saw the light again, but now it was no longer that kind of light.
The fierce light that burned everything was gone, and the sun hung in the sky as usual, spreading warm and harmless light.
Asa sat up from the water and saw that he was still in the sunwell, and Luya was taking the leaf of the world tree away from him. His whole body was shrouded in a layer of green light, and waves of harmony and harmony
Vibrant power is surrounding the body and resonating with the fluctuations of the sun well. The skin and muscles that should have been burned and fallen off like a casserole are now growing on the body intact, as if nothing had happened.
He looked around and realized that, just like the last time Vidnina used the Dark Dragon's spell, the sunwell was surrounded by a scorched open space, with nothing left. The difference was that that time in the clearing
Dense ancient trees can still be seen outside, but this time I can see outside the forest at a glance. The entire Whispering Forest seems to have turned into a piece of rags riddled with holes, with only a few sparsely surviving ancient trees remaining.
Clusters here and there are scattered everywhere.
"Where are the other elves?" Asa asked Luya.
"Dead." Luya's head and face were covered with dust, and she was in an extremely miserable state.
"All dead?"
"They were all dead. Not a single one was left. Even the corpses were turned to dust by the aftermath of the explosion. I don't know where they were blown. The Forest of Whispers... is gone." Luya glanced at the empty area around her.
The eyes were scorched and filled with hollow sorrow, as if they no longer had the strength to even be sad.
"Now that everything has become like this, don't be sad." Asa sighed. Although he himself felt that those extremely stupid elves brought their own fault.
"There is nothing to be sad about. In fact, I felt the result when they rejected my proposal. If faith becomes a shackle, it will only be a matter of time before it perishes." Luya's eyes were still sad, but not sad.
After the sadness drove away all other emotions, I discovered that she had a kind of strength hidden in the deepest part. She asked Asa in a low voice: "Can you do me a favor?"
"What?"
"I want to take the leaves of the World Tree to the Tularion Forest. I have to find a place to protect the Deadwood Guard before it grows back, and I also want to report to them what's going on here. But I don't know the way. Last time it was
We use a teleportation scroll to go back and forth. You take me there."
"This..." Asa hesitated for a while. Although Rodhart's side was also important, an elf woman who was completely ignorant of the world brought a leaf of the world tree that all necromancers dreamed of and caused chaos all over the world.
Running, this is undoubtedly a more dangerous thing. "Okay. Although I don't know where it is, but someone knows, I will take you to Orfu first, and let the Lord of Cedros take you there." If Cedros is still there,
With the magic academy's teleportation scroll, you can get back to the capital in time even if you rush there with all your strength.
Luya nodded, then waved to him: "You go out, I will use well water to water the surrounding ground, so that the trees will slowly regenerate."
Asa immediately discovered a very serious problem as soon as he stepped out of the sun well. He subconsciously jumped to the rocks beside the well and squatted down. "Do you know where there are clothes and pants here?"
Luya held the leaves of the World Tree in her hands and took out the well water, and said calmly: "There are still some on the corpses outside."
In Airy City, the local official recruited almost everyone in the city who could write to write an article praising and paying homage to the Imperial Envoy.
The imperial envoy has not returned until now. According to the reports of the soldiers who escaped and the believers of the God of Nature, the area around the forest seemed to have become a hell where demons and ghosts infested and ate humans. Then there were incredible changes in the sky, fires bursting into the sky, and then
There was also the huge explosion that almost shattered the entire Airi... With these scenes that were like the end of the world, the imperial envoy was definitely in danger. And as a local official, he was absolutely unavoidable for his failure to protect himself.
Yes, losing an official position is still a trivial matter, but if you fail to do so, you will be beheaded. Therefore, in the report crafted with all the strength of the city, the local magistrate should explain as much as possible how dangerous the situation was at that time and how powerless ordinary people were. How did the imperial envoy do it?
Faced with the calm command of tens of thousands of mobs, how brave he was in the face of those monsters rushing out of hell, how to protect innocent people and deal with those evil monsters alone, but in the end, no one was able to save the situation.
He died heroically. The effect of this report should be very good. Many people shed tears when they read it to the public.
But at this moment, the imperial envoy who had disappeared for a long time and should have died heroically suddenly appeared, and he also brought a beautiful woman with him in disheveled clothes.
The brief embarrassment was immediately washed away by joy. As long as the imperial envoy was safe and fine, who would care about what he did.
The imperial envoy hurriedly explained the aftermath, and even the command of the troops was thrown away to the local magistrate like rubbish. He only needed two fast horses and some travel items, and set off with the strange woman. As for where they were going.
He didn't say what he was going to do, and even told the local magistrate not to reveal anything about him to anyone. But later on, people always asked the magistrate about it, and Balsam Pear treated the imperial envoy like an old friend.
He expressed his understanding of the strange behavior: "After experiencing so many big things, of course I need to relax and relieve the stress. And naturally I don't want other people to disturb that kind of relaxation." The listeners also recalled the strange woman's behavior.
Beautiful, so he licked his lips in admiration and expressed his deep approval.
On the night they left, a group of people came to the Whispering Forest, which had become scorched earth. They held torches and spent most of the night carefully searching the wasteland that was still exuding residual heat. Until daybreak
Only when they shined brightly did they walk out of this scorched earth.
There are still human corpses and wreckage outside the forest. These things will probably keep the magistrates of Airi busy for a long time.
This group of people seems to be mercenaries. The unrest in Airy during this period has led to more people eating this bowl of rice. But even they who have witnessed the killing scene are now in this sea of corpses
I just feel creepy.
But there are two figures standing quietly on the corpse. One is a little rickety and desolate unique to the elderly, and the other is a middle-aged man with a graceful manner. He is standing on a corpse with only half of his body left, but
His posture and demeanor made him feel like he was in a romantic place where many people gathered.
It's just that the expressions of these two people were not relaxed, but it was not because of the endless corpses at their feet, but because they were looking at the group of people approaching. They waited here for the searchers for a whole night.
The group of people walked up to the two of them, and one of them, who looked like a leader, walked up with a large package and handed it to the two of them and said: "Two gentlemen, these are all the weird-looking things we found inside.
.”
The middle-aged man took the package and opened it. It was filled with some strange little things, most of which were the horns of wild beasts. He rummaged through it carefully and asked, "Have you ever looked for the well in the middle?"
?”
The leader replied: "As you said, I searched carefully. But there is no body inside, nothing at all."
The middle-aged man frowned and asked again: "Have you seen a green leaf?"
"Of course not." The leader replied, cursing the hell in his heart. There was nothing left in such a burned place, not to mention the leaves, not even the roots.
"Huh?" The middle-aged man frowned and found something that looked like a handle from those things.
The leader explained: "According to the magicians in our team who have seen it, this should be left behind by a very advanced magic scroll."
"I know." The middle-aged man sighed. There were two small skulls carved on both ends of the thing, emitting a faint fluorescent light.
The old man came over to take a look, showed a cold smile, and said: "This unexpected discovery has confirmed our inference. The evidence is conclusive. Let's go back."
"Two gentlemen, we still have half of the reward." The leader said coldly, his hand touching the hilt of the sword at his waist. "Also, keep everything in there. It's because you asked us to do this.
For the sake of finding these things in a ghost place, I won’t kill you.”
Unicorn horns are extremely rare magic items. Such a large pile can definitely be exchanged for ten times the weight of gold coins. It is for these things that mercenaries risk their lives.
"That's right. Give them what they deserve." The old man said to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked coldly at the group of big men in front of him who already had murderous looks on their faces, and began to mutter something that no one could understand.
"They are magicians. They want to fight back and kill them." The mercenary leader shouted, raised his sword and stepped forward. All the mercenaries drew their weapons and rushed forward. They were so close.
This magician still dares to recite the spell unhurriedly, which is a good opportunity.
The old man glanced at his companions in surprise, but completely ignored the group of wolf-like mercenaries in front of him. He didn't even look at them, he just raised his hand and shouted.
The mercenaries who were already in front of the two people stopped immediately. Each of their legs was pedaling desperately, but they could not move forward because they were all floating in the air. They could only dance around not high above the ground.
, shouting while waiting helplessly for the middle-aged magician’s spell to be completed.
There was a strange noise, and the dozen or so people in the air instantly lost their normal shape. Blood, muscles, and internal organs rushed out from their mouths, eyes, and under their clothes and armor. It only took a few blinks.
After a while, there were only a dozen skeletons in the air, covered with flesh and blood.
The flesh and blood that surged out was pulled by a suction force and solidified into a huge ball in front of the middle-aged man. It shrank while rotating rapidly, and finally turned into a small blood-colored crystal and flew into the middle-aged man's hand.
"A bull's-eye kills a chicken. But it's amazing that you can use this spell at your age." The old man nodded approvingly, but there was still a sneer on his face. "I know you are angry. But there is no need to waste it on this waste.
You'll probably be busy after I get back." He sighed as if he was nostalgic. "It's been a long time since I had a meeting..."
The middle-aged man said nothing, and took out the teleportation scroll from his arms with a cold face. The old man also took out one. After a burst of blue light, they both disappeared.
The skeleton in the air finally fell down, making an unpleasant karaoke sound. Then the place returned to a dead wasteland.
