Chapter 116 116. Heresy
"My Lord, are these the gifts my sister brought me?"
"Yes, Am misses you very much. I will give her a holiday next year when the weather is warmer."
"No, I'll go find her. I heard that there are a lot of new dishes in East Port City recently, and I want to learn them."
It was still the same cottage I stayed in last time. That room always seemed to be empty, waiting for guests in need.
After a simple tidying up, Lovey and Lodel moved in.
"Master, should I go back to Ice Wolf Village now and inform my mother?"
"Go ahead, but be careful on the road. Damu Village is not safe."
"Uh-huh."
Lan Lan rode on the back of the ice wolf and waved goodbye to Lowe.
Aka and Zoe stayed in the next room and made arrangements.
Time gradually turned into night.
The wind and snow subsided and the world became quiet.
Lowe did not sleep tonight. After finishing meditation, he remained very awake.
Silently releasing his mental power, he could vaguely sense the oppression coming from afar.
He once heard his mother talk about the secrets of spellcasters.
It is rumored that when the caster's mental power accumulates to a certain level, he or she may be able to sense some unknown mental frequency bands.
It could be the roar of a demon, the temptation of a devil, or the guidance of a god . Many people went crazy and became heretics, being attacked by powerful people from all over the world.
Dam Village might be in a similar situation. Lovi stared at Lodel, who was sleeping soundly and was unaware of the danger.
If a bad guy attacks at this time, it is easy to lose your life.
Move your hand closer and closer quietly. Pretend to be a bad guy and attack the vital points.
"Stop it, or I'll bite you." She threatened vaguely.
Time flies, and before I know it, night has passed and dawn has arrived.
As the sky brightened, everyone began to wash and get ready.
Lodel put on the silver-white enchanted weapons and tried to swing the sword. The transparent aura was faintly surging with orange-red, and she nodded with satisfaction.
This set of equipment fits me perfectly. Apart from the fact that the chest armor is 'slightly' empty and a bit chilly, there is nothing to complain about.
She considered whether to add some padding.
After breakfast, the four-member team set off on their journey.
Lovi led the way on a flying carpet. On the way, he met Lanlan, the chief of Ice Wolf Village, Tina, and twenty fully armed female hunters who were waiting for him.
"My Lord! Ice Wolf Village responds to your call!"
"very good!"
With the addition of this group of people, the speed was successfully slowed down by more than one level.
But it's not far away. Lovi took off to check and saw a primitive village in his field of vision.
Desolate and lonely.
I didn't see anyone moving around, it was like the whole village was migrating.
The faint sunlight sprinkled on the ground, everything was so peaceful, without any sign of danger.
The more this happened, the more vigilant Lowe became.
The fact that so many people have gone missing here is enough to show that there is a deadly danger here.
The investigation team entered a fork in the road, crossed the mountain road through the woods, and walked to a high slope.
The deserted fields still had some snow that hadn't melted, and the land was uneven but undulating.
"How far is it?" Lodel asked the people around him.
"If you want to see the village, you need to go forward and climb over this mound." Tina had been here many times and was quite familiar with it.
"Do you see the enemy?" Lodel shouted to Lowe who was slowly landing.
"No one was found!" Luo Wei paused for a moment and said, "There is something wrong with one of the trees. There may be something wrong with it."
"What's the problem?"
"It's too big! Over 30 meters high! It's rare even in virgin forests."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. What kind of question was this? Could the enemy be a tree?
Tina patted Lan Lan's head gently and said, "Don't go. Turn around and go back to the intersection now. Keep sentry for us."
"Ms. Tina! It may not be safer for Lanlan to go back alone than to travel with us."
As Lowe spoke, a strong wind blew by, and grass and gravel flew into people's faces.
A faint stench of decay, which even the distance and cold could not block out, rushed towards me.
The people in Ice Wolf Village all looked pale, and some of them covered their stomachs and pretended to vomit.
Lodel said in a deep voice: "This is the smell of a corpse, get ready for battle!"
There was a series of sounds of weapons being drawn, and Lodel flashed and took the lead in rushing up the slope.
His eyes swept around and stopped at a huge dark green ancient tree a few hundred meters away. The trunk was so thick that ten people could hardly hug it. It was so big that it was terrifying.
If it was just a dead object, no matter how big it was, it wouldn't be dangerous. However, Lodel's intuition told him not to get close.
The branches swaying in the wind and the drooping vines are like ropes.
"I have no intention of being your enemy!" The ancient tree emitted a faint spiritual fluctuation.
"Who!" Lodel shouted.
Lovi hurried over and stood beside Lodel: "Why did you become like this? Dam."
While emitting mental power fluctuations, the young man murmured softly.
"I want to live, that's all. Is there anything wrong with that?" the old voice questioned.
"There's nothing wrong in staying alive. But that's not a reason for you to take someone else's life." The young man said calmly.
"No, you don't know anything. When you are about to face death, will you choose to struggle to survive or die? Don't rush to answer. Only when you are really facing the moment of death, will you truly see yourself clearly." An old man's face slowly emerged on the trunk of the giant tree.
"No matter what choice I make in the future, since you have done this, you should know the consequence. You will definitely be punished." Lovi slowly raised his staff.
"I know! I just want to communicate with you with a glimmer of hope. I'm ready, just come if you want. I'm curious, what method will you use, my little lord." The old man slowly opened his eyes.
It was laughing, and the leaves were rustling.
After the branches seemed to be accidentally exposed, densely packed corpses were revealed.
"Damned heretic!" Lordel shouted.
"Don't be impulsive. Your sword can't cut it. I'll find a way." Lowe opened his arms to stop everyone.
"You want to ask for help? Don't joke, maybe someone in the East Continent can deal with me, but they will never come to this abandoned place. Just you, even with your mother Evelyn." The old man on the ancient tree showed a fearful expression on his face: "Let's talk, I don't ask for much"
"Damn heretics! I refuse to negotiate." Lodel said without hesitation.
"You don't think I'm just a tree and I can just stand here and let you do whatever you want with me?"
The sound was like an earth-shaking movement.
They all watched as the giant dark green tree uprooted itself and stood up, its roots like tentacles, supporting the impossible weight.
"All I ask is to survive. Is that too much?" it roared.
Weighing thousands of tons, it is totally beyond the reach of human beings.
In his mind, Lodel imagined the scene of mobilizing thousands of people to besiege. He shook his head vigorously to get rid of the unrealistic thoughts: "Burn it, Lovi, you use fire to burn this heretic."
