(There are still a few more chapters into the fifth volume, the volume titled The Master of the Castle.) I hope everyone will enjoy it then. ）

At first, Xiao Yan thought he had figured everything out, but now he realized that he still didn't know anything. This feeling made him a little irritated, but there was nothing he could do, he didn't want to know what the future would hold, and then he would be the headless fly. Of course, it's not that there are no clues, it's just that these clues always make people feel like they are "missing" something.

"Okay, okay, let's think about this thing a little bit bigger, bigger, bigger."

Xiao Yan looked at the map of the whole city of Paris that was finally displayed on the tablet. He whispered, "Don't think about the Shijie Tree and Charlotte collusion and the like, put all the previous speculations together, maybe we have something else." ”

After speaking, Xiao Yan put the tablet back into the cloak, opened the car door and walked out. The fog outside suddenly hit his face, and there was a faint feeling of dampness, which made Xiao Yan almost think that he had returned to London to try Shijie. The same deep mist, the same mystery that doesn't know what the future holds, and the Shijie tree that is also in control and stares at him in the dark.

"It's a branch of the Shijie Tree, and it's probably the king's coffin."

Xiao Yan cleared the fog and muttered in a low voice, and the surrounding fog seemed to fade a little. It's already 3:12 a.m., and it's probably less than 3 hours before the whole of Paris returns to reality in its entirety, and the fog that obscures everything may be gradually fading, and the stage for the trialists is now disappearing.

"Charlotte has the king's clothes, she has the devil. You can enter the coffin. Regardless of her purpose for the time being. The Shijie no Tree makes use of Charlotte's Jihua. Take advantage of the demon's entry into the branch and kill it. Since this is a change that occurs in the branches, it avoids disturbing the reality shijie. ”

Xiao Yan had already had a definite inference about this point before, and repeating this inference was to make new thinking about the next change.

"However, killing a demon in an abandoned branch is not too much of a problem for the Shijie Tree, and our visit can only be regarded as a coincidence. Even if we don't go out, when the demon's body is completely into the branches. A legend might go there as well......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Yan shook his head suddenly, and whispered to himself: "No, no legend can get there, before this branch completely leaves France, the awakened can't access the branch to fight the demon, and the legend will bring too much impact to the reality shijie." So, the fight against the demons is something that only we can do. ”

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan stopped moving forward, such a deference has a potential question that is not answered. That is. If Xiao Yan didn't enter this branch, or even Xiao Yan didn't go to Europe. So what will happen to the end of this demon zuihou? Will the demon that devours the entire abandoned branch escalate to the point where the Shijie Tree is uncontrollable?

The answer is no.

Once the demon has devoured most of the branches, the hidden rhizomes under the branches will emerge, and even if the European Presbyterians can't dig up the access points for a while, the Legends can go to France through these roots and then deal with the demon.

Therefore, as long as that demon enters the branches, the final outcome must be destroyed. Whether it is burned by Xiao or by the legend of the future, this coffin is not only the king's, but also the demon's.

At this point, Charlotte didn't cross the line, and no matter what she did, at least when the demon appeared, she controlled the whole situation. didn't let the demon cause much influence in reality, and in the end it only caused chaos to the children of those big families, and finally let the demon enter the "death cage". From this point on, the Shijie Tree did not interfere, and even provided some help, which is quite understandable. In any case, the first thing to make sure is that the reality shijie will not be too affected by the demons, and as for what the children of the big family will do, the shijie tree will not take the initiative to intervene. In fact, once the rhizomes of the Shijie Tree emerge because of the branches, then a large number of Awakened and Legends can enter Paris through the rhizomes instead of reality tools, at which point the turmoil in Paris will subside in a very short time.

So, for now, killing demons isn't the whole purpose of the Shijie Tree. It can even be said that the demon's entry into the branch itself is also deliberately done by the Shijie Tree, otherwise the first time Charlotte catches the demon, the Shijie Tree can completely find a way to secretly get rid of the demon in Athens or other places.

By this point, the whole thing has begun to become clear. The Shijie Tree needs demons, and the real reason for "need" is because it needs demons to devour those branches and then make the rhizomes of France emerge. In the same way, the European Presbyterian Church has not interfered with the children of those big families, probably because it has received some kind of revelation from the Shijie Tree. At this point, Shijie and Charlotte are in fact some kind of conspiracy.

Obviously, Charlotte is also aware of the purpose of the Shijie Tree, and she takes advantage of the Shijie Tree's emphasis on rhizomes to slowly realize her Jihua. The financial turmoil in Europe and the martyrdom were all temptations of Charlotte. She must grasp how tolerant the Shijie Tree is of such a thing as the rhizome, and where is the bottom line for the inevitable counterattack? Such probes escalated until September 1, when a simultaneous attack on many access points in Europe took place. In that attack, a large number of legends appeared at various access points, which was also a warning from the Shijie Tree to Charlotte, but in the same way, Charlotte also measured the tolerance limit of the Shijie Tree.

After that, Charlotte's actions began to accelerate, even abandoning the ban imposed on the Povsky family by the Shijie Tree and leaving for Paris as a saint. She believed that the Shijie tree would tolerate her behavior when no rhizome appeared. As it turned out, she was right. The Shijie Tree allowed Charlotte to leave her "retreat" in Athens and go to Paris. There, Charlotte intercepted Xiao Yan and led the entire process of robbing the Industrial Bank on the spot.

This is an inference that makes Xiao Yan a little upset, and this kind of inference always makes him feel a little deceived or used. Not only him, but even the children of those big families are among them.

But now is not the time to sigh, according to this reasoning, when Xiao Yan killed the demon before the demon really began to devour, Jihua of the Shijie Tree was also interrupted by Xiao Yan.

Because of this, after killing a demon, Xiao Yan and they didn't get any reward from the Shijie Tree, and it can be made clear.

So, if you don't guess wrong, the current mission on the Paris side should be a continuation of Jihua before the Shijie Tree. Xiao Yan should find a way to make the rhizome of the Shijie tree emerge, which is probably the focus of the entire Paris mission.

Let the rhizome of the Shijie tree in France emerge, which seems to be a bit too high-end for Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan is not without clues. The pick-ups just now had already told him that the key to solving this problem was near the alleyway of that restaurant.

Does Charlotte know this?

Xiao Yan thought about it and nodded slightly. Again, as long as the rhizome of the Shijie Tree can be revealed, then a large number of Awakened and Legends will be able to use the rhizome to enter Paris. At that point, Charlotte's control over Paris will immediately fail, and the Holy Realm will have no effect on the legend. Therefore, Charlotte will definitely try her best to prevent Xiao Yan from completing this task, and this is also an important reason why Xiao Yan's continuous pick-up is constantly being interfered with.

Everything went back to square one, Xiao Yan rubbed his eyebrows, now he needed to go back to the alleyway, and then look for what determined whether the rhizome could emerge or not.

The fog gradually dissipated, Xiao Yan could already vaguely see the street lamp not far away, the faint yellow light made the street lamp look a little turbulent, in addition, there were some faint sounds coming from not far away.

Xiao Yan already knew this part of the street scene in mind, and after looking at the buildings on the left and right, he had already determined his location. He is now about 300 metres away from the restaurant in a straight line, and just a wall away from the office building where Quist used to be. Go around the triangular fork in the road and walk a few steps to find the office building.

Looking left and right, Xiao Yan turned around and walked towards the office building. The more helpers you have, the more you can be sure of success. Although he has mastered a lot of magic circles, it is not enough to fight against the old saintess and the defense line of the Povsky family here.

There was a faint sound coming from the fog, it seemed to be a person talking, and it seemed to be a vehicle moving, in short, because it was obscured by the fog, these sounds were extremely chaotic.

Xiao Yan slowly lowered his speed of action, raised his hand and glanced at his watch, the hands on it did not rotate chaotically, which indicated that there should be no trialists or awakened people with electromagnetic control ability in front.

Recalling the street scene in his mind, Xiao Yan casually took out two daggers from his cloak, lowered his body, and began to quietly approach the place where the sound came from.

The thick fog obscured everything, smell, hearing, perception, etc., Xiao Yan couldn't feel the other party, and at this distance, the other party probably couldn't detect Xiao Yan.

After walking about 40 meters, Xiao Yan could already vaguely see the marble pier in front of the office building, and the voice on the other side of the office building had become clear. It was a human voice, seemingly coming from the ground, a low gasp with a feeling of pain that sounded like it had been badly hurt.

Xiao Yan didn't rush forward, his agility attribute could make him move quietly, but it couldn't make him completely unknown. After thinking about it, Xiao Yan turned around and walked around to the podium next to the office building. (To be continued......)
