Spellcasting Heavens

There's no doubt that being on the edge of a living forest is nerve-wracking.

Although the living environment here is a hundred times better than the endless desert outside, when night falls, everyone in the team becomes extremely nervous, sitting around the campfire and tasting dishes made from unknown plants and dried meat. chowder.

As a post-apocalyptic world where 80% of the land surface has been desertified, vegetables and fruits here are 10,000 times more valuable than meat.

Even those high-ranking and powerful people may not be able to have a meal of fresh vegetables and fruits, so everyone present could not help but swallow their saliva subconsciously when they saw the green color in the pot, even if they had eaten some strangely shaped foods before. Green fruits with sufficient moisture.

However, the team leader obviously had some concerns and was not in a hurry to start the meal. While stirring the spoon in the soup pot, he asked the boy without raising his head: Luke, if you don't mind, can I ask if you want to Let’s explore this massive ruin in depth?”

Why not? This was the capital of the most powerful empire in the past, and it is also known as the place blessed by the gods. To a certain extent, it represents the old world before the collapse of order, and has considerable research value. Luke gently closed the worn book in his hand and replied with a smile.

If there is anything that is the biggest gain from this long journey across half a continent, it must be the various books and knowledge that are either complete or incomplete.

Through these words from hundreds of years ago, or even thousands of years ago, he finally had a clear understanding of the world and even the Darent invaders.

To put it simply, before the arrival of the Darent people, this world was at the peak of divine power. There were hundreds of gods with different names and titles, competing for the faith of mortals, trying to establish a unified world controlled by the gods. the mortal realm.

But unfortunately, due to the innate arrogance of the gods, in the end no one will obey anyone. No matter how powerful the gods are, against competitors with similar strength, they use their character, world view and values ​​as the core to form a powerful team. An alliance.

It is precisely the composition of these alliances that led to the fact that even at the peak of theocratic power, it was still full of strange internal conflicts, and even believers were hostile to each other and fought with each other, just to please the god they served.

In the end, they paid a high price for their shortsightedness and ignorance.

When the Darent people opened the portal and swarmed in, the city, which was contested by countless gods, was instantly covered by terrifying magical plants. It is said that except for a handful of spellcasters with powerful powers,

No one left, including the royal family, could escape.

The originally glorious and powerful empire collapsed overnight, and the remaining places surrendered and died in battle under the fierce attack of the invaders.

It is said that a large number of treasures, as well as a large library that is said to store the largest number of books in history, are still intact in a corner of this activated forest.

Oh? Are you here to pursue knowledge? The team leader raised his head with a surprised expression.

You must know that on this desolate planet right now, the most valuable thing is knowledge, and the least valuable thing is also knowledge.

Although it may sound contradictory, it is true.

The reason why it is said to be the most valuable is that under the long-term invasion and oppression of the Darent people, many previously powerful magical knowledge and technologies have been lost. Therefore, as long as anyone can find even a small part, they can instantly Get rich suddenly.

But unfortunately, apart from this knowledge that can create value, the remaining knowledge about humanities, geography, history, etc., is completely useless.

For example, the book the boy is holding now only costs two Desert Lizard Kebabs.

That's right! Luke nodded seriously. Do you know? Even the Darent invaders have never really set foot in this city since its destruction. I guarantee that the knowledge and wealth hidden in it far exceeds any of you's imagination. It is like a huge Treasures are waiting for the brave to dig out. What do you think, are you interested in going in with me? I promise that, except for books, whatever valuables you find will belong to you.

Going deep into the forest? Are you sure this is not a joke? Didn't the scene during the day make you realize how dangerous it is? Another woman next to him couldn't help but interject.

Danger is always proportional to reward. If you don't take risks, how can you get an enviable harvest? Don't you need to face danger when traveling in the desert? No! Even at the low end you are most familiar with, it is still possible in the desert Encounter bandits, monsters, and even super giant sandworms. In this era full of pain and despair, every second of life is an adventure. Since it is all about adventure, why not bet a big one? If you succeed, you can live a comfortable life for the rest of your life, but if you fail, you will just get relief early?

Luke, as always, used his advantages in language and prying into other people's hearts to encourage these cannon fodder who had proven their worth along the way.

After all, although he has mastered quite powerful magical power and can even clear a safe path directly in the forest, having helpers is much better than having no helpers. At least he can sleep more peacefully when resting.

Haha, I admit, your words moved me. But the problem is, there are too many visible dangers in this forest. I'm not even sure you can advance two hundred meters safely. The experienced team leader means He smiled deeply, obviously not easily fooled.

Just when Luke was about to say something, a piercing scream suddenly broke the tranquility of the night.

ah!!!!!!!

Damn! It's Kanter!

The woman who spoke before suddenly stood up and looked towards the place where the sound came from.

Unfortunately, her night vision was not very good and she was unable to see clearly what was going on in the woods.

About two or three minutes later, a pungent smell of blood came from a distance, and at the same time there was the sound of blood dripping on the leaves.

Everyone on alert!

When the leader saw that the situation was not good, he immediately ignored the boiling soup pot and drew out his sharp sword and stared nervously around, trying to find the attacker.

He knew very well what the screams and the smell of blood just meant, it was death and killing.

The team member named Kanter is probably now a cold corpse...
