Night, cemetery.

Bright torches will illuminate the surroundings.

In the valley, there are towering black trees, their branches rustling with black leaves in the night breeze.

Tranquil Tree.

The belief of the Dryad clan is that when each Treant is born, the elders of the family will personally plant a soothing tree for them in the cemetery.

Every year on their birthdays, they hold a grand ceremony, and the clansmen need to use their own blood to water the soothing trees planted that year.

In addition to this, it is also necessary to connect their breath of life with the planted tranquilizer tree through the corresponding circle ritual.

As we grow older, the planted soothing trees also become leafy, and the rings increase in circles until the end of life.

On the day of death, the tranquilizer that is connected to their mind will also die at the same time, and the corpse of the dryad will be placed in the graveyard.

After the rituals, the clansmen would dig a gap in the tree that had been planted and place the corpses of the dead tree spirits in the tree.

At this point, the two become one.

This process is known as the Spirit Wood among the tree spirits, and is the most sacred ritual besides birth.

Lori was knocked to shreds in the head, and to avoid discomfort, the elders of the clan peeled a piece of bark from the tomb he had planted, and then made a mask to block Lori's broken head.

The sky grew darker and darker, and the rest of the village left the cemetery one by one, leaving only a tall figure in the dark woods.

Boom.

The night wind whipped the leaves and rubbed against them, and in the darkness there was only the light of torches.

"Lori."

The man slapped the coffin, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, but at this moment he noticed that the coffin under him suddenly trembled.

When he opened his eyes, under the reflection of the firelight, Lori, who was originally lying in the coffin, shook violently, and then sat up violently!

Poof!

"Lori ......"

The mask slipped from his face, revealing Lori's twisted and shattered head, and he slowly stood up as he held on to the edge of the coffin.

"Gollum!"

Lori's stomach thriggled and let out a low roar.

At the same time, the terrible oppressive force enveloped the entire space, and the man who collapsed on the ground tried several times, but could not get up from the ground because of the panic.

"Lori, I'm your brother."

"I'm your brother!"

The man stepped back in horror.

"Brother......

"Tsk, what a considerate brother."

A pale green face peeked out of the trees in the darkness.

It was Yoringer.

He stood behind a soothing tree in the distance, holding a black leaf in his hand, the back of which was outlined with a silver pattern.

"Why are you here?"

"It's you, you're doing it all, right?"

"What did you do to Lori?"

"He's dead, are you going to desecrate his body?"

Joringle didn't answer, just stood behind the tree and quietly watched the figure in the distance.

"Don't make a sound."

At the same time, on the tranquilizing tree in the other direction, Roger quietly covered Goway's mouth.

The rosy lips were pressed against the palm of his hand, and the hot breath from the girl's snort made Roger feel a little itchy in his palm, and he moved a little closer to Govie's ear.

"It's not that simple, let's move on."

Gowey struggled hard, but she couldn't resist Roger's strong arms, and a soft snort came out of her nose, Govi gave up the struggle, and stared at everything that was happening below.

What forbidden places, what humans and women are not allowed to enter, Roger remembers that Henrik once said that in order to complete the task, some means are still necessary.

After a long silence, Yoringer spoke again.

"Lori was killed by you, right?"

"What are you crazy about?"

The man struggled to his feet, roaring angrily.

"I'm his older brother, and he's my only younger brother, how could I possibly hurt him?"

"Rocky ......"

Yoringer's face was gloomy, "Do you know how much Lori loves you?" ”

"He respects you because you are like a father in his heart."

Yoringer's face contorted.

"Even if he knows that you insulted his fiancée!"

As soon as Yoringer's words fell, not only Rocky under the tree, but even Roger and Glovy were shocked by this exciting news!

"You...... What are you talking about? ”

Rocky said with a flustered face.

"Don't you dare admit it, dear Rocky."

Yulinger opened his hands, "See the scars on my palms?" ”

"That day Lori and I went up the mountain, we did meet the beast, but he didn't struggle at all the moment he was pounced on by the beast, and was betrayed by his dearest brother."

"This pain has surpassed everything."

"At that time, Lori just wanted to die."

Every word that came out of Joringer's mouth, like a dagger, stabbed Rocky in the distance.

"That night's joy festival, Lori and Erin were both drunk and unconscious, but what you don't know is that while you were doing that dirty thing, Lori woke up and watched."

"He can't move, he can't make a sound, and more importantly, his respect for you, his love for you, overwhelms him."

Yoringer's voice rose sharply.

"He's a useless coward, and when Irene tells him he's pregnant, he can only force a smile on his face, and even choose to escape and choose to end his life!"

"What's even more tragic is that all the time Irene thought that the man who possessed her was Lori."

Yoringer unfastened the bandages from his hands.

"My hands were bitten by wild beasts while saving him."

The panic on Rocky's face vanished, and the disguised fear turned to indifference, and he slowly straightened up.

"No more pretense?"

Yoringer sneered.

"There's no one else around, so there's no need to put it on."

Lodge looked at Yoringer.

"So about the so-called sword in the stone, about the so-called curse, you and Lori made it up?"

Roger and Gervy in the tree glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, especially Gervie, from the time the two met, Roger felt a deep prejudice from this girl.

It's just that Govie's prejudices are wrapped in the usual etiquette and appear less sharp, but after coming to this village, Roger was surprised by the generosity and blind trust she showed to the tree spirit race.

Compared to Roger, she was obviously hit harder.

Joringer did not answer Lodge's question, but said to himself:

"On the way back, we saw a sword stuck in a stone."

"I said to Lori, go pull out that sword and kill that brute brother."

Lori walked over with heavy steps.

Yoringer sighed, "But he failed and failed to draw the sword, and he told me it was fate." ”

"He accepts that fate."

As he spoke, Yoringer, who had been hiding behind the Tranquil Tree, suddenly took a step, his eyes turned pitch black, and the area below his neck turned out to be the same as the tree.

The killing machine is here.

"But I don't accept it!"
