After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 247 The Tree King’s Sanctuary hides secrets about the entire world

The distorted ripples gradually smoothed out, and everything in front of him returned to normal.

Ryan opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a pair of eyes full of concern and as bright as stars.

"Mr. Lane, are you okay?" Freni's face was full of worry.

While speaking, she reached out to hold Ryan's palm and made a preliminary check. After confirming that Ryan was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief and then asked: "How is Cecilia's assessment going?"

Ryan calmed down and said with a smile: "Of course, no problem."

The second he finished speaking, the small gray tree emitted a glistening light, and a strong and slender figure emerged from it.

Long silver-white hair, silver-white eyes, smooth but powerful plump thighs...

Cecilia's eyelashes trembled slightly, then slowly opened them.

She seemed to have taken a deep sleep, and her eyes that had just woken up were filled with mist.

But soon, after sensing the dreamy aura, the haze in her eyes quickly faded away.

"Lady Freni!"

Looking at the girl wearing a big fluffy witch hat not far ahead, Cecilia quickly stepped forward and was about to kneel down on one knee.

But Freni took one step ahead of her and gently hugged him into her arms: "It's great that you're okay."

The long-lost and familiar warmth gradually relaxed Cecilia's tense face.

During her time in the Back of the Tree and the Dark Necropolis, she tried to challenge again and again. Every time she died, she would lose part of her memory. But even in the end, her memory was broken and unbearable, and only the obsession to complete the trial remained. , in her heart, she still deeply remembers her responsibilities and the bond between herself and Lady Freni.

Every wasted moment was a great torment for her.

Now, she was finally able to relax.

Ryan stood aside with a smile, not disturbing the two women's "long separation" charge.

For Freni, it was a separation that lasted more than a hundred years, and for Cecilia, although Ryan didn't know how long it was, it would definitely not be a short time.

After a moment, Cecilia, who calmed down, came to Ryan and saluted solemnly: "Mr. Ryan, thank you very much..."

"This time, if it weren't for your help, I'd probably sink into the dark necropolis forever."

"Death is not unacceptable to me, but if it delays Lady Freni, then I will die without redemption. I..."

Cecilia was about to say something else, but Ryan interrupted her:
"There is no need to say these kind words between us."

"Come and take a look."

Ryan pointed to the small gray tree not far ahead.

Hearing this, the two women also cast their gaze over.

They had forgotten to pay attention to this small gray tree in the excitement of meeting again after a long separation.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that the small tree had disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a slowly rotating gray magic circle.

"According to the information told by 'it', the three of us have completed the assessment. Next, we can go to a place called the 'Tree King Sanctuary'."

"I believe there should be some things we want to know."

"It?" Cecilia was a little concerned about the "it" in Ryan's mouth.

"I don't know what it is. In short, when we were forced to enter this place and wake up, what I saw were the prompts from 'it'." Ryan said in a deep voice:

"I am a 'traveler' and you two are 'assessors'. It is precisely because of my identity that I can enter your assessment world and help you complete the 'assessment'."

"That's the general information. I don't know anything more."

After listening to Ryan's story, Freni took a deep breath.

Compared to Cecilia, who spent hundreds of years in the Tree Country's Dark Necropolis in a state of ignorance, she spent hundreds of years in the Capital of Tree Kingdom with full consciousness.

Everything in the Kingdom of Trees, now that she thinks about it, is still vivid in her mind.

Such a large country involves all aspects. If it is fabricated out of thin air, it will require so much computing power that even a true god cannot afford it.

What's the point of paying such a huge price for an assessment?
With this thought in mind, Freni followed Ryan and Cecilia into the gray magic circle.

With the bumps in the teleportation, the vision in front of him experienced distortion, and then returned to normal.

Ryan looked around and found that he, Freni and Cecilia had arrived at a strange place.

The huge gray root system penetrates deeply into the ground, and its surface is stained with large areas of sticky blood.

Countless corpses and bones were piled on the roots of the tree, and it was difficult to count them at a glance.

here it is--

"The base of the sacred tree?"

Ryan guessed subconsciously.

It's not hard to guess.

Besides the Holy Tree, what other tree can have such a huge root system?
Plus this representative gray...

The three of them didn't wait long. Under the sacred tree, above the platform paved with countless skeletons, a figure emerged from the rippled air.

It has a human body, but its entire body is emitting a gray-red light, making it impossible to see its appearance and physical features.

"You finally came……"

A sigh full of complicated meanings echoed for a long time.

Ryan noticed that the gray-red man was facing Freni, who was standing in the middle of the three.

Obviously, this sentence was exactly what Freine said.

Does it know Freni?
Ryan was filled with doubts, but he was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he planned to continue listening to what the unknown gray-red man was going to say next.

After staring at Freni for ten seconds, the gray-red man took his eyes away from Freni and turned to Ryan and Cecilia beside him.

"Traveler and Moon Wolf..."

"Long time no see."

The tone of the gray-red man was filled with exclamation. Before the three of Ryan could understand its words, it continued:

"I know you have many doubts."

"But unfortunately, I don't know much."

"Because I am just a phantom left here by someone, with only fixed memories."

"And the content of this memory is what I am going to tell you. The secrets about the entire world hidden by the golden tree."

The words of the gray-red man set off a storm in the hearts of the three Ryans.

Hidden by the golden tree, are there secrets about the entire world? !
Ignoring the reactions of Ryan and the others, the gray-red man continued:

"This is the deepest part of the Sea of ​​Ashes, and it is also the base of the Holy Tree - St. Milis. At the same time, it is also the only place in the world that can completely block the exploration of the Golden Tree."

"The Holy Tree - Saint Milis, is the product of someone using a special weapon to separate pure branches from the golden tree and then grow them through targeted cultivation. The existence of the Sea of ​​Ashes is influenced by the Holy Tree - Saint Milis. It was slowly formed due to the influence of silk.”

"As for why he did this, it's because someone wanted to leave the last hope to the world."

Having said this, the gray-red man's voice paused, and then he spoke solemnly:
"The golden tree has been eroded, and what eroded it is a power from a higher dimension outside the sky."

"This corrosive force is so powerful that even the golden tree can only delay it, but cannot eradicate it."

"It is precisely because of the emergence of this corrosive force that the world has deteriorated."

"You should know about spirit beings, right?" "Essentially, spirit beings are not native to this world, but are the effects of the corrosive force that form fruits on the golden tree, that is, portals. The creatures from the world where the corrosive power originated are transported to this world.”

"The erosion of the golden tree is inevitable. In order to leave the last hope, the holy tree - St. Milis was born. It has grown together with the purified crystal of the power of erosion since it was a child, forming a symbiosis. In the end, it gave birth to Out of it."

The gray-red man raised his hand and saw three long gray-red spiral needles about ten centimeters.

"This object is called 'The Thorn of St. Milis'. Now, I give it to you."

"The erosion suffered by the Golden Tree is far more terrifying than the 'empty' erosion you have experienced in the Holy Tree Assessment World. Once contaminated, there is absolutely no possibility of cure."

"And the 'St. Milis' Thorn' can delay erosion to the greatest extent."

"You will eventually need it..."

Three "St. Milis' Thorns" flew out from the gray-red man's palm and flew towards Ryan and the other three, and the gray-red man's body also became transparent at this moment.

"My mission has been completed. Later, the teleportation array set up here will teleport you and your ship to a safe place."

"Then, goodbye... no, farewell forever, three of you."

Ryan and the other two were not given any chance to speak. After leaving these last words, the body of the gray-red man completely faded away. Before disappearing, its eyes were still on Freni, unwilling to move away at all.

Ryan raised his palm with complicated emotions and let the "Thorn of St. Milis" fall on his palm.

-

[St. Milis's Thorn]: Holy tree - a special thing that Saint Milis has specially cultivated and nurtured over a long period of time. It has the effect of suppressing a certain kind of special corrosive power. Can only be used once per person.

ps: This is the last hope and the last purity.

-

The panel's introduction to this object is very brief.

Generally consistent with the introduction of the gray-red man.

When the three of Ryan put away this object, the next moment, the rich gray-red light completely engulfed their bodies.

"Boom--!"

Sea of ​​Ashes, the central place.

St. Milis, the holy tree growing between the real world and the void, began to tremble.

The bark on its surface began to wither, and the root system began to shrink. Eventually, it disappeared here, leaving only a huge sinkhole that could not be flooded by sea water.

A hole opened in the sky, and a huge golden eye emerged from behind, staring quietly at the sinkhole that appeared below.

Countless golden runes circulated at high speed in the huge one-eye. Finally, the crack closed and the one-eye disappeared without a trace.

……

"Crash..."

The sound of sea water lapping against the ship's board was transmitted to Ryan's perception.

With the appearance of the sound, the surrounding silence was broken and life gradually returned to life.

Ryan opened his eyes and let out a breath.

After the teleportation at the base of the holy tree began, his perception and five senses were blocked and plunged into darkness.

Although I didn't faint, the experience was not much different from when I fainted.

Looking around, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Phryne and Cecilia who were still in a coma on the deck.

Although they are in a coma, the two women's breaths are very stable and they should be able to wake up later.

After feeling relieved, Ryan began to observe the situation around him.

The gray-red man said that he would teleport them to a safe place, but after all, that guy was a phantom left behind who knows how many years ago, and it was impossible to know the changes in the outside world.

What if the place it said was safe has now become a dangerous place?
Ryan has never pinned his safety on a word from others.

Looking around, Ryan's eyes showed surprise.

This is a fairly calm sea area, the water is as blue as the reflected sky.

In the distance, there is a huge island with a faint outline in the mist.

No, calling it an island is a bit inappropriate. The outline of the end can't be seen, and calling it a small land mass is not an exaggeration.

Where is this?
Ryan thought for a moment and took out the treasure map from the space ring.

This treasure map was originally used to guide people to certain ruins in the Sea of ​​Ashes, but now, it can be used to determine the area where one is currently located based on the relative distance.

After checking it, Ryan frowned.

"Is this, leaving the Inland Sea Area?"

The treasure map shows that he is currently located very far south of the ruins, and the coordinates shown are the southernmost part of the treasure map.

This is the limit of the treasure map, but it is not the limit of the actual distance.

And being so far south of the Sea of ​​Ashes is probably out of the scope of the Inner Sea Area.

"Xinhai District?"

Ryan mused.

He didn't know much about the information about the Xinhai area.

Just know that for professionals in the Inner Sea District to reach here, legend is the lowest threshold.

And Xinhai District also has a nickname passed down by the world - New World!

Ryan's frown gradually relaxed.

If he had just entered the magnetic thunder sea area and was preparing to set foot in the new world, he would definitely feel uneasy now.

But now, he has the strength to defeat the peak demigods. Although he dare not say that he is absolutely invincible in the Xinhai District, self-protection is still not a big problem.

As for Phryne and Cecilia...

Ryan found out too.

The auras of the two women have been greatly improved after being tested by the Holy Tree. The specific strength will not be known until they wake up, but they are definitely not weak.

"The direction is unclear at the moment. Let's wait until the captain wakes up."

Ryan thought.

However, Ryan did not wait for the two women to wake up, but instead waited for an accident first.

A purple-black goshawk flew from a distance and hovered over the Black Rose, seemingly observing something.

Not long after, on the sea in the distance, in the mist, a huge warship slowly sailed out. The skull flag floating on its bow made Ryan's eyes look strange.

"In the new sea area, are there still pirates?"
