A treehouse in a hidden settlement.
This is where Sylutia temporarily lives. The big tree grows through her catalysis, forming a huge canopy covering tens of meters. Under this big tree, she relies on the trunk of the big tree to build a tree house made of the same material as the bark.
In the treehouse hall, illuminated by the warm orange light of the lantern, Sylutia and an old man were sitting opposite each other, with a small tea table between them.
"Are you feeling better, Mr. Vandhi." Sylutia stood up and poured the brewed scented tea for the old man, adding a little Sun Seed Oil" and White Camellia" to it, which can very well restore the body's vitality.
"It's better, thank you Miss Tia." He answered with a slightly weak voice while holding the tea cup.
After that, Sylutia sat back in the chair and asked Vandhi about his experience in the past few years.
"----That year, after sending you to Scorched Stone City, I went to Merchant City Union far away to purchase goods."
"When I came back, I heard from Talia that you had already gone to Secret Forest. It's a pity that I couldn't see Miss Tia again."
"In the next two years, I continued doing business in various places as usual, until the war broke out and the Anti people invaded."
"After the Anti people took control of this land, many rules changed. I was particularly uncomfortable with it. Although I tried to bribe the local officers with money to ask them not to be too harsh."
"However, during that year, their personnel were frequently transferred. After the Anti officer I was familiar with left, the new commander had to start collecting money again."
"Originally, I was not a big businessman with strong capital. I soon couldn't support it, and then my business was miserable.
"After that, I was arrested by a petty officer on non-existent charges. They first asked my family to pay money to redeem me, but even after paying, they would start talking again.
L
"In the end, my family couldn't get it out, so they threw me into the mine." Vandhi said about the past.
"Now my wife and children have run away a long time ago for fear of being implicated. I will probably have to live alone from now on." He sighed, and his eyes had long lost the high-spirited and shrewd energy in the past.
Hearing this, Sylutia comforted the other party with a few words, and then talked about the year he lived in Scorched Stone City.
"During that year, I made many friends and had two teachers who cared about me very much."
"If you don't mind, I can find you a place to live in the future." Sylutia thought of Golden Radiance Plain in the Woodland, where the environment is comfortable and the city is extremely safe.
"Well, thank you Miss Tia." He really didn't have the courage to be polite and could only nod in agreement.
After solving the problem of where to go in the future, Vandhi felt a little better, and in the next two days, he was able to take the initiative to talk to the people around him.
In the past few days, Sylutia wrote a letter and delivered it to the messenger bird called by a special secret method, so that it could take the letter to the Woodland's station on the surface.
Waiting for a response from "Golden Radiance Plain", it would take about 1-2 months. Sylutia thought that if the mine was not destroyed, the lord of Scorched Stone City would definitely repeat his old tricks and continue to arrest people to fill the hole.
In this case, let's completely destroy that mine.
Secondly, she also wanted to take a look underground in the mine to see if there were any bones or legacy of Corpse Dragon left there.
Among the many Aspect Powers in this world, there is only Dragon Eye"Aspect Power. She has never come into contact with or understood it.
Returned to Scorched Stone City again, but this time Sylutia did not enter the city. Instead, he bypassed the mountains outside Scorched Stone City and went directly to the mine that he had left for several days.
The mountains here are full of traces of cuts and fires. It seems that they spent a lot of effort to clear away the weeds and vines she scattered before leaving.
Then several hidden sentries were added in the mountains to observe the conditions of the mountain roads and mine camps. Although they were well hidden, they were still discovered by Sylutia at a glance.
Easily avoiding the sight of these people, Sylutia shuttled between the trees.
When she returned to the mine camp, she didn't expect that someone was already fighting here.
The opponent is also wearing a gray robe, his face is hidden, he is holding a pale skull, and beside him are several Bone Stitching monsters, fighting with Anti Soldier in the camp.
"Dead Ember Mist"
I saw the pale skull in his hand, and bursts of mist spit out from the hollow eye sockets, spreading towards the enemy along the mountain wind. All the soldiers who were affected and submerged quickly fell down. Unfortunately, Sylutia was not as merciful this time. These people quickly died without moving, holding their throats.
At this time, there were only two second-level Anti officers left in the field who were still fighting. They covered their mouths and noses and tried their best to escape from the gray mist, preparing to jump down the mountain road to avoid the pursuit of the gray-robed Bone Stitcher" behind them.
But the opponent did not bypass them. He raised his finger and shot out a row of bone spurs from the Bone Monster on his side, directly hitting the two people who were running away.
Bone spurs were embedded in their bodies, and Dead Ember"Aspect Power's power spread, quickly devouring the vitality in their bodies. In the end, the two fell to the ground with haggard faces, no longer breathing.
After dealing with all the soldiers in the camp, this mysterious man in gray robe slowly moved his gaze in the direction of Sylutia on the tree crown.
"You are probably not from Anti. You have similar goals to me. Please come out." His voice did not sound old, he was probably around thirty years old.
At this time, Sylutia jumped down from the trees, stepped lightly on the grass with his toes, and then stood firm.
Two strands of black hair were exposed from the hood, and Sylutia faintly exuded the aura of the third level "Emerald Nectar". The surrounding flowers, plants and trees also swayed slightly, dispersing the lingering Dead Ember Mist" in the air.
At this time, the mysterious man on the opposite side also exuded the aura of Level 3·Dead Ember and "Aspect Power", and the two were vaguely at loggerheads.
Seeing this, the other party nodded slightly, then put away the skull in his hand and opened his mouth to introduce.
"My name is Lucas, originally from Scorched Stone City. If you have lived here, you may have heard of my name." The other party introduced himself.
Alas, is the other party a well-known local person? Sylutia blinked and couldn't remember who it was.
Seeing that Sylutia didn't reply, the other party frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand whether the girl was an enemy or a friend, and the fingers under the cuffs clasped the skull again.
"My name is Sylutia. I also lived in Scorched Stone City for a period of time. I was studying at Scholar Heide. I'm sorry I haven't heard of your name before."
The girl finally spoke, and the other person felt a little relieved.
"Which class are you in? Maybe you graduated before me." Transcendent's appearance and age are not necessarily the same, especially many women who prefer to maintain their appearance.
Maybe the girl who looks like 17 years old in front of her may actually be older than her grandmother, so Lucas has to treat her with caution.
"I should have entered school four years ago and graduated three years ago." Sylutia counted.
"You are lying. How could you have enrolled in school four years ago?" Lucas felt that the other party was playing tricks on her.
"Why do you say that?"
"You entered school four years ago and were only First Order at most. Even if you were extremely talented and reached the second level at that time, how could you reach the third level in just three or four years? Isn't this a lie?" Lucas pointed out the loopholes in the girl's words.
"This----" Sylutia felt that it was difficult to convince the other party with words, so she took out two badges, representing the "specially recommended Woodland Badge" badge and the "Bellflower badge that received excellent reviews".
Seeing these two badges awarded by the Woodland Association, the other party's pupils shrank in disbelief.
"Unexpectedly——" He was speechless and felt a sense of frustration.
"I thought I was already a rare genius, but I didn't expect it." After speaking, he shook his head and took out the same "Bellflower" badge and showed it to the girl.
After the two communicated for a while, Sylutia finally remembered that she had heard the story of Lucas from Winnie.
--The person who got the quota that time was a commoner in Scorched Stone City. His father was an employee of the Chamber of Commerce. His family was relatively well-off and supported his studies. He was also quite talented, showing his special talents in Dead Ember and Aspect Power.
At the age of only seventeen, he mastered the two abilities of Dead Ember and Aspect Power, and relied on the Corpse Poison he made to successfully kill the target in the second level of the assessment and obtain the qualification."
"It turns out to be senior Lucas." Sylutia obediently bowed and saluted, then his eyes were particularly curious.
If you follow the description of sister Winnie, then it is only ten years since the other party entered the Woodland. In just ten years, he went from First Order to the third level. This is indeed a rare genius in the Woodland.
"Since we all came from Scorched Stone City and returned from the Woodland, I guess you are also very interested in the things in the mine. How about we go on an adventure together to find out." With one more person, if Anti garrison comes later, there will be one more helper to resist, Lucas thinks so.
Moreover, even if you form a team and the other party is a gardener, which is not a full-time combat profession, it will not cause much harm to you and can solve some minor troubles.
Hearing the other party's proposal, Sylutia hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed.
"Then thank you, senior, for taking care of me."
Since the other party trusts her, she seems to have nothing to worry about. If she really encounters an extremely dangerous situation, she can use Alien Star"Aspect Power's shuttle ability to escape.
Moreover, in addition to Alien Star", she also has many methods that she has not shown. Whether it is the ability blessing of the Knight Badge" or Cornflower", her strength can skyrocket.
