Chapter 356 The End of the Expedition
Da da da!
As a crisp sound of footsteps came, several fallen girls hurriedly ran over not far away. They helped up the young fallen spirit who had fallen on the ground. Then when they saw the wizard robe on Enzo's body, they hurriedly knelt down. down.
"I'm extremely sorry, noble wizard!"
The fallen spirit girl held Sana in her arms, her body trembling with fear, and begged: "Sana didn't mean to offend you, it was me who didn't take good care of this child. Please forgive me, Lord Wizard."
"It's nothing, let's all get up." Enzo shook his head and said softly.
The fallen girls immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but the education they had received since childhood made them afraid to stand up. They prostrated themselves humbly on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads.
"Be careful next time." Enzo touched Sana's head, and then walked straight over.
After a while, after Enzo walked away, the fallen girls kneeling on the ground were relieved and stood up one after another. They looked at the retreating figure of the wizard and patted their chests with lingering fear.
"Little Sana, you are so reckless!"
The fallen spirit girl took a deep breath, a serious expression appeared on her face, looked at the ignorant young fallen spirit, and said solemnly, "Fortunately, the wizard just now didn't hold you accountable, otherwise even us would be implicated!"
"Yes, Sana, you are too reckless." Beside, several other fallen girls also scolded.
"Sorry, sisters." Sana shrank her head and whispered, "It's all Sana's fault. Please forgive me."
"Okay, forget it this time." The fallen spirit girl shook her head and said in a deep voice, "Little Sana, you must remember that the wizards are the most noble beings in the world, and no fallen spirit can offend them. them!"
"I understand, Sister Sarai." Sana nodded confusedly.
After the previous episode ended, Enzo also came to a wizard tower.
The wizard tower in front is one of the first batch of wizard towers built after the Nole area became a city. As a disciple of Gustav, Enzo chose the best location first.
Enzo walked straight into the wizard's tower, stepped into the main entrance and entered a hall.
"Welcome back, Master." As soon as he entered the hall, two fallen girls came to greet him, and they thoughtfully helped Enzo take off his robe and put on a set of casual clothes.
These two fallen girls were Enzo's personal belongings, and they were slaves he purchased with his expedition achievements.
After the fallen spirits in the [Breeding Hall] are born, they will first be sent to the academy for unified education. When each fallen spirit girl reaches adulthood at the age of fifteen, she will graduate from the academy and leave.
The fallen girls will also be assigned to different positions based on their grades when they graduate from the academy.
Only the best fallen spirit girls are qualified to become the wizard's slaves, while the weaker ones will be sent to the [Breeding Hall] to become the mother body for the next generation of fallen spirits.
As for the fallen girls with the worst grades, they can only become cannon fodder on the battlefield, or experimental subjects for wizard biological research!
After changing his clothes under the service of the fallen maid, Enzo walked to the corner at the end of the hall, followed the spiral staircase that continued upward, and soon reached the seventh and top floor of the wizard tower.
"Master, please have a meal!"
Back in the bedroom, the 25-year-old fallen spirit girl, the housekeeper of the Wizard Tower, Sa Ling, appeared. She was wearing a Gothic black gauze maid dress and a pair of clear crystal glasses. She was holding a document in her arms, followed by Two fallen maids.
The two fallen maids were carrying silver trays, which contained grilled barbecue steak and corn soup.
"Is there any new news while I'm out on a mission?" Enzo glanced at the food placed on the table by the two fallen maids, picked up the knife and fork, but didn't rush to enjoy it, but asked softly. One sentence.
"While the master was away, a lot of news came from the outside world."
Sa Ling gently pushed up the glasses on the tip of her nose, unfolded the document in her arms, and said softly: "However, most of those messages are insignificant things. I selected three more important ones and am planning to report them to you." .”
Enzo nodded slightly and began to enjoy the food.
"First of all, the first news came from the Iron Wall Fortress. The First Expeditionary Force, led by the two wizards Froslai and Christina, had defeated the forest resistance in [Masser Area] fifteen days ago. The king of the Sons of the Forest clan, the third-level life form 'Sawindoline' was severely injured and captured by the wizard Christina!"
"Even the Messer area has been breached?" Enzo narrowed his eyes.
Since the Aiqila Tree fell asleep, the wizarding civilization has accelerated its development of this world. Thirty years have passed, and 80% of the entire Aqila world has fallen under the control of the wizarding civilization.
Since the [Messer Area] borders the place where the Tree of Eqira sleeps, it has always been regarded as the last line of defense by the Children of the Forest.
As early as three years ago, the wizard civilization had decided to take over the [Masser area].
However, the aliens stationed in the [Maser Area] are all the most elite beings among the Children of the Forest. Among them, the King of the Forest, Savindorin, is even more capable of competing with third-level wizards.
Relying on the advantages of geographical environment, the King of the Forest has resisted the wizard's attacks many times.
And now, the First Expeditionary Force led by Froslai has finally taken over the [Mese Region]. Even the Forest King 'Savindolen' has been captured by Christina. This means that the last of the Children of the Forest clan has The line of defense no longer exists!
"The news of the breach of [Messer Area] came from the fortress, so there should be no need to verify the authenticity." Sa Ling said softly.
"Now that the [Wheat Area] has been breached, the next target of the wizard civilization is the sleeping place of the Tree of Aqila."
Enzo's eyes flashed with luster, and he murmured: "It seems that the expedition will be over soon."
"The second news came from [Lital area]."
Sa Ling scanned the information on the document, paused and said, "The magic potion [Forest Potion] independently developed by the Supreme Commander of the Seventh Tower, Wizard Herbert, has recently passed the review of the Potion Association. Officially patented and included in the advanced potion sequence."
"Has the patent for Forest Spirit Potion finally come down?"
Enzo raised his brows, nodded slightly and said, "This is good news. [Forest Potion] has a powerful healing effect and is extremely precious to first-level wizards. Since it has been included in the Potion Association, there may be opportunities in the future. , I can also pay a fee to study.”
"The third piece of news is about the two major organizations [Fang Blood Shadow] and [Skull Castle]."
Sa Ling put the documents away and continued, "According to the latest information, the two major organizations have officially evacuated the Iron Wall Fortress not long ago and went to the [Clay Area] and [Eldo Area] respectively."
"Have the forces of [Skull Castle] and [Fang Blood Shadow] evacuated the Iron Wall Fortress?"
Enzo stopped his movements, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face, and said softly: "It is enough for them to leave now. After all, according to the agreement between the three major organizations, when the development process of [Ai Qila World] reaches 100%, After eighty years, the two major organizations can obtain the right to rule the [Clay Region] and [Eldor Region] for 500 years respectively."
At the beginning of the Akiela World Expedition, the expedition encountered great difficulties due to the weak strength of [Phantom Crows].
In order to open up the situation, the academy can only choose to cooperate with [Skull Castle] and [Fang Blood Shadow], and use the power of these two organizations to open up the world of Elkila.
As a price, when the world of Aiqila develops to a certain extent, the other two major organizations will each obtain an area for 500 years of rule. During their rule, all profits in the territory will belong to the two major organizations.
Whether it's [Clay Area] or [Erdo Area], Enzo knows something about it.
The territories of those two regions are each equivalent to the size of ten [Norr regions], and the resources are extremely rich. The two major organizations can obtain huge benefits during their 500-year rule.
As Sa Ling reported three pieces of information, Enzo had also finished his food.
Next to them, the two fallen spirit maids who were serving them silently took away the tableware. After the report, the fallen spirit housekeeper Sa Ling also bowed and bowed and exited the room.
Enzo sat in a chair with a thoughtful expression on his face.
According to the three pieces of information reported by Sa Ling, in addition to the matter of the [Forest Spirit Potion] patent, the information expressed in the other two pieces of information revealed that the plane expedition has entered the final stage.
"We have just captured the [Meser area], even the First Expeditionary Force cannot be left unscathed."
Enzo stroked his chin, thinking with his eyes, and said, "According to normal circumstances, the expeditionary force should choose to recuperate for a period of time before attacking [Laqi area] where the Aiqila Tree sleeps."
"But not necessarily!"
Then, Enzo shook his head again and said to himself, "The expedition has reached this point. As long as the wizard civilization destroys the Tree of Aqila, the roots of the Children of the Forest can be cut off and the fate of this world can be completely controlled!"
"If I were Dean Froslai, in order to avoid long nights and nightmares, I would definitely attack [Laqi area] as soon as possible."
"Only by completely destroying the Tree of Aqila can we defeat the will of the Children of the Forest to resist, prevent any further accidents, and completely control the world!"
"Everything will be over soon." Enzo sighed and murmured.
At the same time, in the farthest north of Noel City, within the ancient forest.
Tall trees stand tall on the ground one after another, their lush branches and leaves intertwining in the sky, almost blocking all the sunlight projected from the sky, making the forest below look a bit gloomy.
This is the world's far north region, the ancient Laqir Forest.
The once extremely vast forest, with the release of the disaster beast Ocino thirty years ago, the dark and destructive atmosphere continued to spread, causing a large number of trees and plants here to wither, leaving only the core area remaining.
Deep in the ancient forest, there is a lake.
The clear and transparent lake is like a crystal embedded in the forest. However, as the aura of the disaster beast continues to engulf the world, the lake is already far away from the shore, and it seems that it may dry up at any time.
"This world is getting weaker and weaker"
On the edge of the lake, a girl with emerald eyes was standing there quietly, looking at the lake that was gradually drying up, with a sad expression on her face and murmuring in a low voice.
At her feet, a sawgrass hung weakly on the ground.
The originally bright green and sharp leaves were now a little withered. The aura of the disaster beast Ocino enveloped the world. Even the Raqir Forest was affected, and the weak plants lost their vitality.
"Poor little guy."
The green-eyed girl lowered her head and looked at the weak Sawgrass, with a trace of pity in her eyes. She leaned down and touched the leaves of Sawgrass with her soft palms, emitting a green light.
As the power of nature enveloped it, Sawgrass suddenly regained its vitality.
The withered yellow and black leaves have turned green, and the sawgrass is like a child recovering from a serious illness, twisting its body happily and rubbing the girl's fingers affectionately.
Seeing Sawgrass come back to life, the green-eyed girl's face showed a hint of relief.
"Don't waste the natural power in your body, Saranda!" At this time, a voice suddenly came from the side, and another tall son of the forest with long hair and green eyes came out of the forest.
“Just a little bit of natural force can save a life.”
Saranda, the child of the forest, shook her head and said softly, "Isn't this what Sister Savindolen has taught us since we were young?"
"It's different now." A trace of gloom appeared on the tall girl's face, and she whispered, "Evil outsiders have appeared in our world, and we must retain all our strength to resist them!"
"Is there any point in resisting? Sister Savi."
A trace of confusion flashed in Saranda's eyes, and she murmured, "Since my mother fell into a deep sleep, the aura of disaster beasts has continued to infect the world. Even Sister Savindolen was kidnapped by outsiders. What else can we do?" "
"Cheer up, Saranda!"
The tall Son of the Forest, Savi, frowned and said in a deep voice, "You are the successor to the King of the Forest personally chosen by Savindolin. You are responsible for leading the Sons of the Forest to repel evil outsiders. Don't say this again in the future. What a fool!"
Saranda bit her lip and stopped talking.
With the release of the disaster beast Ochino thirty years ago, the aura of darkness and destruction continues to spread, and the world has become increasingly unsuitable for the Children of the Forest to survive. The Eqira Tree fell into a deep sleep, causing them to lose their source of power. .
Just like when the disaster beast was sealed and the fallen spirits became gutter rats.
Nowadays, the power of the Children of the Forest is gradually declining and cannot be restored at all. Every time a point is used, one point is lost. The entire ethnic group continues to show signs of destruction under the oppression of the wizard civilization.
Today, the few remaining children of the forest in the world are hiding in the Laqil Forest, relying on the power of the Aqila Tree to temporarily resist the invasion of the wizard civilization. However, every child of the forest knows very well that this situation is also It can't last long.
