Heaven's Formula

Senia folded her hands on her chest, "There is no doubt that this is an extremely dangerous exploration, and those who go there are likely to be buried in the sea, so I will not order you as an elder or a high priest, but as a Islanders send out a plea to all of you to bring hope to those trapped in another treeboat."

"Anyone who is willing to go, please stand in front!"

As soon as she finished speaking, someone stepped forward.

"I, the eldest son of the Xinde family, am willing to go!"

"My lord, please count me in."

"We have lost many times, but we have not surrendered once!"

"My lord, just tell me, how many people do you want? I don't think there is a coward among the 100 people."

Seeing this scene, even Senia was a little moved.In the successive defeats, many people have indeed lost the courage to fight against the empire, but the spirit of resistance is still not completely severed, and some people still dare to stand up and face the enemy's artillery and blades.

"I only need ten people." She said happily, "Everyone, please arrange them in order."

"Only choose ten...wouldn't it be too few?"

"Your purpose is not to kill the enemy, but to find the tree boat. If there are too many, it will be easy to expose yourself. In addition, the selected person has a task, which is to protect the safety of these two people along the way." Senia pointed to the two people behind him. Young elves, "Heim Sharman and Tyr."

"My lord, why did you let them go together?" The eldest son of the Xinde family wondered, "Not only have these two little guys never participated in battles, they haven't even killed a few fish, have they?"

"It is true, but they are the key to the investigation." Senia nodded, "Only those who have taken lessons from Miss Mo Yun can use Jinxia's special contact magic weapon."

"Is there such a strange request?"

"If you understand the principle of electromagnetic transformation, you may also have the opportunity to drive it." Probably feeling that he was underestimated, Till couldn't help interjecting, "Teacher Mo Yun said that in the future the battlefield can only rely on brute force." Whoever wins with a method, the victorious party will belong to the learned man!"

The other party smiled and shook his head, "When you get on the boat, just don't throw up."

Senia once again solemnly asked, "The hope of that tree boat rests entirely on everyone, please be sure to hide yourself, send back the message, and wait for Jinxia's next move."

……

"My lord, the rope is tied, please be careful where you step." Captain Flynn Carter said while holding the boat.

Tural stepped over the side of the boat and stepped on the trestle made of vines.Hundreds of steps away, countless tree trunks rose from the ground, converging into an undulating dense forest.And below them is the ground composed of interlaced tree roots and vines.Although he had already seen the wonders of tree boats when conquering World Island, it was a completely different experience to step on a tree boat himself.

Even though the sound of the crashing waves was still in his ears, he didn't feel any shaking under his feet, as if he was stepping on land.A little farther behind, you can see the flagship Invincible and the two companion ships Midnight Horn and Angela.

These three warships are the main ships of the navy, and they should be giants at any city dock, but compared to the tree boat in front of them, they seem a bit small.

Tural straightened his woolen tricorne hat, "Are the islanders still resisting?"

"According to the news from various ministries, there are still sporadic resistance in the residential area and the bottom of the tree boat, but the surrounding area of ​​the tree spirit has been controlled by our army." Filin replied, "After all, this thing is too big."

"It doesn't matter. On the way back, I have a lot of time to teach them how to obey." He looked at the mage who followed him, "By the way, Miss Song Xing, what did you say you need?"

"It's not me, it's my mentor. He needs ten tree spirit seeds, two pieces of bark, one root, and two elves who can control the growth of seeds." The female mage replied blankly.

"I remember that he is a master of spells and transformations, right? Can the Mage Tower really find a way to replace elves?"

"The research progress is the mage's secret, please forgive me for not commenting."

"Hehe, they are all working for His Majesty the King, why should you be so out of touch." Tural waved his hand indifferently, "Forget it, let's get down to business first. Mr. Carter, please take us to the core of the tree boat - where the tree spirit is located have a look."

"You two please follow me."

A group of people crossed the pier and entered the main part of the tree boat.Here and there you can see islander captives chained with ropes as soldiers efficiently mark them.By piercing a string of marked metal earrings that, once closed, cannot be taken apart, troops were able to quickly figure out how many elves had been captured in total.

Of course, this kind of earrings are obviously thicker than the decorations, and the workmanship is also quite rough, which will inevitably bring a lot of pain when piercing.So the cries and sobs didn't subside much all the way.

However, in Tural's eyes, this is undoubtedly an improvement.

Compared with the soldering iron, which was cumbersome and prone to infection in the past, numbered earrings are naturally much faster and more effective.The empire has developed rapidly recently, and even such a small place can reflect the innovation of civilization.

The World Island is obviously a negative case.

Sitting on such a huge tree boat, there is nothing he can do with his warship.After three days and three nights of pursuit, and a whole day of boarding and fighting, the tree boat fell into his control.

It is a pity that during the pursuit, many islanders took advantage of the cover of night to escape from the tree boat in various strange boats.It is obviously impossible for his army to do such trivial tasks as chasing down the fugitives, so they can only be entrusted to those pirates who cooperate with him to capture them.The problem is that the hands of pirates are much dirtier than those of the army, and it is unknown how many of them will be brought back alive.

And the loss of every slave is detrimental to the interests of the empire. If it is not too short of manpower, Tural also wants to send those pirates to the guillotine.

But now, he can only endure these little unhappiness for the time being, and enjoy the sweetness of victory first.

Capturing a complete tree boat, plus a large number of elves on the tree boat, is enough for him to be personally rewarded by His Majesty the King.

Chapter 355 Spirit Tree Core

Passing through the center of the town and a long and narrow dark tunnel, a huge underground cavern appeared in front of Tural.

"You two, this is the core central area." Captain Filmin introduced.

"Oh, that's not bad." The Lord smacked his lips.

What he was talking about was of course the tree—in the center of the cave, a huge tree with a width of one hundred feet stood impressively in the field of vision.It only has trunks and branches, not a single leaf. At the same time, its growth posture is quite strange. There are many tumors on the roots of the lower part, and they are densely pasted together and spread out around, like evenly spread hair.On the top of it, many branches branched out, supporting the dome of the cave.This makes the spirit tree look like a pillar of the sky standing in the hole. Whether it is above or below, it is a part of the root veins, but the shape is different.

On the top of the cave, there is an equally open patio, and the light shines in from above, making the interior not look so dark.

"Do all spirit trees look like this?" Tural asked curiously.

"I haven't been on a few tree boats, but when I was on World Island, I heard that someone has seen a crystal-like spiritual tree." The captain sighed, "At that time, it seemed that General Long was attracted to it. "

"Such a large piece of crystal? Damn it... that scene must be unforgettable."

"What you're talking about is just appearance." Song Xing said suddenly, "Elves can change the appearance of the spirit tree, making it brighter or more colorful. But doing so has no practical significance, similar to birds picking up It’s like decorating your nest with colorful feathers.”

"You mean, they didn't forget to make their lair more beautiful when they were living and dying?" Ferlin curled his lips.

"No, let me correct it, it still has some practical significance." Song Xing glanced at him, "At least it can attract a lot of fools to watch and rob, and buy time for other tree boats to escape. Look... even the fleet commander Officers are no exception.”

The captain's face became a little stiff for a moment.

"Hahaha," Tural laughed a few times, "Okay, all mages are freaks."Mr. Carter, don't you understand by now? "

"That's just the prejudice of the ignorant." Song Xing said disapprovingly, "Everything has the simplest truth, but some people like to use their intuition to blind their eyes."

"Since you understand everything, can you bring the tree boat back to Siristi for me?"

"Of course not." The mage sighed, she didn't like to talk nonsense, "My lord also knows that every tree boat has an elder, and only the elder can communicate with the spirit tree. And I have nothing to do with the elves."

"It really is a freak." Tural shrugged and didn't bother to joke anymore, "Mr. Captain, did the elder catch it?"

"My lord, he's there." Flynn Carter pouted towards a branch next to the tree.

I saw a dead elf hanging above it. Judging from his gorgeous robes, he was undoubtedly a high-ranking islander.

"He was already like this when we got here."

Obviously the elder was unwilling to serve the empire and chose to commit suicide.

"Tsk." Tural spat, "Miss Mage, what should I do now?"

"Just re-elect an elder." Song Xing pointed to the resisters on the side of the center who were under guard by soldiers. , they call it promotion, and usually hold a celebration to witness the birth of a new elder, but according to our research, this has nothing to do with the connection itself, it just needs the cooperation of the elves."

"Then it will be troublesome." The captain said with a headache. "My men took dozens of dead to take this place. I'm afraid it's impossible for them to cooperate."

"Not necessarily, sometimes death is not the scariest thing." The mage said coldly, "They also have families and children, and these are flaws that cannot be ignored. Let me remind you that not all islanders are slaves. Value, the awakening rate of elves is indeed not low, but there are still quite a few people who only inherit their appearance, but have no magic power themselves. I don’t need to say more about the rest, right?”

"Now I understand why so many lords like to recruit a mage as a consultant." Tural clapped his hands, "Mr. Captain, did you hear Miss Song Xing's words? Bring all the prisoners caught nearby Bar."

……

"Hush..." Zhuo Fulan tightly covered her younger brother's mouth, held her breath and looked at the faintly projected firelight above her head.

"I've searched here, but there is no one. What about you?"

"I didn't find it either!"

"Then close the team, it's so late, if you don't go back, the meat porridge will probably be taken away by others."

Among the criss-crossing roots, she could see torched enemies trotting across the docks.

It wasn't until the sound of footsteps disappeared that she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

But what followed immediately was great grief and despair.

Under the cover of her family, she and her younger brother escaped, but where could they escape?There was a dark and cold sea under her feet, and without a boat, she couldn't last a night at all.

Relying on the roots and vines of the tree boat as cover, hiding in this bottom near the water?Not to mention how to solve food and clothing, a storm at sea can make no grass grow here.

She is undoubtedly in deep jeopardy.

"Sister...I'm hungry..." Brother Zhuoka shook her sleeve and said.

This time should have been dinner time.

"Be patient, my sister is also hungry."

"Hmm..." Zhuoka was only quiet for a while, and then asked, "How long will I have to endure it?"

Zhuo Fulan felt her eye sockets blur instantly.

She bit her lip hard to keep herself from sobbing.Yes, I have to endure...but this patience has no end.

She couldn't help turning her eyes to the sea below her.

If you jump down, maybe you don't have to think about the answer.

Even if it is painful, it is short-lived.

Zhuo Fulan took a deep breath, and let go of her younger brother, "You... sit still."

"sister?"

She didn't answer, her eyes stared at the lightless sea, the bottomless darkness seemed to swallow her little by little——

Then something emerged from the abyss.

Emerge?

Just as this thought flashed through, the sea surface suddenly bulged upwards, and a large number of water bubbles gushed out!

Is this a sea beast, or something evil?Jovelan grabbed her brother and held him back, so terrified that she forgot to scream.

As the waves receded, a shuttle made of green skeletons surfaced, and several tentacles stretched out, entangled with the roots of the tree boat.

Zhuo Fulan couldn't help being stunned.

Isn't this a green shuttle——

Why is it here?

The anti-wave board was lifted, and two wet people crawled out of it.

"Ahem... it seems to be quite lucky," one of them coughed and said, "the enemy doesn't seem to... cough... notice us."

"With the cover of night, it's no wonder they can find out. What I'm most worried about is that you will be choked to death in the sea halfway."

"It's just a few tens of breaths, don't be too small—look—" He froze suddenly in the middle of speaking, and his tone trembled suddenly, "Back, back, back, back..."

The other turned his head sharply, and at the same time pulled out the dagger from his waist.

The four elves stared wide-eyed for a while, and the only sound left on the scene was the roar of the sea.

Chapter 356 Fire of Hope

"It seems...not a ghost." Haim said after a while before spitting out the sea water.

"You kid, next time you see it clearly, don't bluff!" Fann Sinde patted the back of the opponent's head angrily, and put away the dagger in a little embarrassment.To be honest, he was also taken aback when he saw two dark figures behind him. "Really, it's troublesome to bring a novice."

He cleared his throat and faced the other two, "Are you the residents of this tree boat?"

Zhuo Fulan nodded timidly.

"Already occupied by the enemy?"

She nodded again.

"Your names?"

"Zhuo, Zhuo Fulan...he is my younger brother, Zhuoka".

At this point, she finally couldn't help asking, "What... are you here for?"

"We came from Noah's tree boat to rescue you." Fan En said seriously.

"From... another tree boat? Rescue... us?" Zhuo Fulan could hardly believe her ears. Before she heard these words, she definitely would not think that there was such a possibility, even thinking about it I dare not think about it.After the World Island collapsed, everyone fled in all directions. It was difficult to protect themselves, so how could they care about others?

"Indeed." Seeing the shocked and unbelievable expression of the other party, a flame ignited in Fan En's heart.His choice of being the first to stand out from the team was indeed correct. Even if he could give the refugees a little hope, his trip would not be in vain. "We are not alone, and there are partners following behind. Wait a moment."

He took off the backpack and opened the seal - food, clothes, oil lamps and weapons were neatly placed inside.The backpack was specially covered, and although it dived from the bottom, not a drop of water seeped in.

But the clothes on his body couldn't be completely sealed. In just a moment, Haim was already shaking.

If you don't prepare warm things in advance, being soaked in the seawater in winter is tantamount to killing yourself.
