Chapter 757: Time to Run?
Beyond the Great Wall north of Overwatch, a tall, verdant tree stood.
The leafy Demon Tree digs its roots deep into the ground without damaging the ground structure, so it has no effect on the Great Wall, and even if the Demon Tree is integrated into the Great Wall, it can also strengthen this section of the Great Wall's structure.
This is similar to the technique used by the elves to fortify the building, however the magic tree is intelligent, unlike the elves using the natural spell 'command' to plant the adamantium wood next to the building.
Cervantes hurried to the place when he received the news, only to find that nothing had happened.
"Where's the 'great threat' you mean?"
Sitting on a branch of the magic tree, Cervantes looked into the distance and asked questions to the magic tree beside him.
The magic tree waved one of its branches, and the leaves shook and rustled, pointing north.
The Black Dragon didn't suspect that the Demon Tree was lying to him, because just like the six-armed giant he and Ziegler had met in the Black Forest before, it was the Demon Tree that sensed it at first, and they rushed there.
From this point, it can be seen that the Demon Tree's sense of danger is much stronger than theirs!
Moreover, the Demon Tree was evacuated along with the soldiers of the strongholds along the way, and perhaps the 'great threat' it referred to was still lingering in the Black Forest, and it might not necessarily come to the borders of the Duchy of Sorrow.
But even if there is no 'great threat', Cervantes is still here.
Earlier, he had seen nothing more than an astral whale in the Atoso Mountains, but now it was a group of astral whales that appeared near the border.
If the astral whale that appeared before could still be a 'lost person', then the astral whale group that appears now shows that the astral passage in the inland sea has undergone drastic changes!
And everything changed a few years ago!
I don't know why, it may be because of what the Dragon Hunting Order or the All-Seeing Eye did to the Astral Passage because of the suspected watchdogs of the Arcane Empire, or it may be because of the passage of time, the Astral Passage has naturally changed.
In short, the Astral Passage has undergone some changes, and the 'Seal of the Gods' has gradually collapsed, and the Black Forest has become more and more dangerous.
I'm afraid that monsters have already left the inland sea and entered the Atoso Mountains, and it is only a matter of time before they will come to the outskirts of the Black Forest.
If he dealt with a few alone, Cervantes himself was still somewhat sure, but if there were too many of them, even he might die on the spot.
The combat power of the Demon Tree should be pretty good, due to its large size, it may be a little troublesome for an ordinary transcendent warrior to deal with it, but if it is a spellcaster, even if it is not an extraordinary caster, it can be killed, but it takes a lot of effort.
What it can call a 'great threat' should not be weak, at least not something that ordinary armies can deal with.
Although the construction of the Great Wall has not yet been completed, the army has been arranging defensive equipment on the city wall for a long time, and many of them are magical weapons from the Wende City Experimental Zone, or now renamed the 'Research and Development Zone'.
It can be used to deal with ordinary large-scale battles, but if there are extraordinary monsters close to legend present, these castle defense equipment is a bit insufficient.
There are still too few powerful artifacts for mortals in this world, floating cities and floating boats need mages to control, and the city-guarding equipment is only at the level of the Middle Ages on Earth, at most, it is just a rare material, which can exert greater power.
The magic tree stood by the gates of this section of the wall, and since the situation was not critical enough to block the road, the maid did not order the entry and exit from the wall.
Although the adventurers are sparse, there are still people near the city gates.
However, this is also due to the fact that they are not able to go too far into the Black Forest, and do not need to stay in the Black Forest, so they will go to and from the city gates frequently.
They didn't notice the black dragon sitting on the branch, but occasionally looked up to admire the height of the magic tree, most of the time it came and went in a hurry.
Judging from the news released by the government of the Duchy of Sorrowful Wind, it is easy to know that they will soon close the passage to the Black Forest, and in fact, the adventurers themselves can sense some unusual things about the Black Forest recently.
The Black Forest is already anomalous enough, but in recent days, it has become even stranger – according to the soldiers on duty at the border, the Black Forest has not changed much in the past few hundred years.
So, even if the chief maid didn't say anything, the adventurers guessed that something big was going on in the Black Forest.
Otherwise, the Duchy of Sorrow would not have let them evacuate from the Valley of Gold Coins, let alone give up the gold mine that had not yet been excavated...... At least that's what they think!
Taking advantage of the fact that the Principality of Sorrow has not closed the passage now, and make one last wave of gold, they may never have such an easy opportunity to make money in the future.
However, in addition to hunting monsters and monsters to obtain materials, there are also adventurers who use the skills they have learned from some veterans to draw some maps and sell them to others.
The scope of their exploration is large enough, and the Duchy of Sorrow does not have the extra energy to explore the Black Forest, so they can only hire them to explore, and then gather to discuss and draw a map of the Black Forest in the north of the Principality of Sadness.
Now that the map is almost complete, it is almost enough to compare and verify it again.
Cervantes didn't know exactly what the maid wanted to do, but he knew that she had a big plan, and that she might want to continue to march into the Black Forest in the future.
Ziegler didn't come with him this time, because the red dragon was still tasked with researching the 'Bloodline Stabilizing Elixir', and now it was not without a chance to save it.
Thera researches new magic techniques, Ziegler researches new potions, and tries to solve this problem from two directions.
And he, because he doesn't know anything, can only come to this border to prevent the invasion of foreign monsters.
Sitting on a branch and yawning, the somewhat sleepy black dragon suddenly heard a melodious chant coming from afar.
Cervantes stood up, his eyes staring straight into the distance.
The sound seems to come from the air......
He looked up, looking through the lush foliage to the blue sky obscured by the clouds.
The white clouds floated in the sky, only a little blue peeked through the gaps between the clouds, and looking at the fading clouds, Cervantes couldn't help but think of the 'astral whales' in the data.
And the voice he had just heard was extraordinarily long, and it would not be surprising if it was the sound of an astral whale.
The pupils of his eyes contracted, and the distant scene dilated sharply in his eyes, but Cervantes raised his eyebrows.
"That's ...... What?"
High in the sky, among the clouds, he vaguely seemed to see a gray wall, but it was also fleeting.
A sense of foreboding surged through his heart, and Cervantes' eyes narrowed, and his gaze continued to wander in the sky.
Gray wall ...... Isn't a city that can fly in the sky a floating city?
But in that direction is the Black Forest!
Most likely, the floating city of Cloudsdale floated out of the direction of the Black Forest?
But wasn't Cloudsdale in the Black Forest, which had never been close to the Black Forest for more than 800 years?
These thoughts flashed through the black dragon's mind, and in an instant, he sank down and carefully searched for the thing that seemed to be the Floating City.
After that, she never saw anything suspicious of the Floating City in sight, and if it was anyone else, she might have wondered if she had just seen it wrong.
But Cervantes was sure that he had just seen it!
I saw Cloudsdale, which is said to have never approached the Black Forest for more than 800 years, floating out of the direction of the Black Forest - apart from Cloudsdale, where are there other floating cities in the world of Assatom (https:)
