On the Seven Towers

More than sixty miles east of Green Forest City, a convoy was traveling in the mountains. The convoy consisted of a spar-driven truck and a carriage. Although there are more and more crystal vehicles now, the total output is still limited. However, in most cases, crystal vehicles still carry freight and large-scale passenger transport. When there are few people traveling, horse-drawn carriages are still the main ones.

There were two men sitting in the carriage, one was Ciro, who now serves in the Resource Development Committee of the Ministry of Commerce, and the other was the alchemist Morey.

This time they went to several small towns in the eastern part of Green Forest City to investigate the feasibility of new alchemy drug factory projects. Because a series of crystal mineral veins were newly discovered near those small towns, and the surrounding mountains originally produced some magic herbs. It is very suitable for building a factory to produce alchemical potions here. Once this project is completed, it can significantly boost the economy of the newly occupied areas in the east, allowing them to speed up catching up with the core area of ​​China Tower.

"Master Morey, it's great to have you here this time. If you hadn't discovered the kind of mushrooms that can be used as raw materials, the profit of this project would have been at least ten percent different if you hadn't discovered the mushrooms that can be used as raw materials."

Morey closed the notebook in his hand and said: "This is why I want to come and see it in person. The area east of Suero is originally underdeveloped and was originally a backward area in the kingdom, but it is very rich in natural resources and the development of The potential is limitless.”

"Yes, this is the last stop. The town we are going to now is called Carlotta. The mountain delicacies here are very famous, especially various mushrooms. Maybe you will find something new. Even if not, they The mushroom soup here is also excellent, at least it can be a good meal. ”

Morey smiled: "I'm looking forward to it."

He opened the curtains of the carriage and looked out. In the village a few hundred meters ahead of them, noon smoke was already rising.

At this moment, a burst of green light suddenly crossed the mountains behind the town, crossed the town, and swept towards them.

The power contained in the green light gave Morey a frightening feeling.

"What is that!" Silla also saw the light, "It's coming."

The guard sitting outside the carriage lowered his head and shouted into the carriage: "Mr. Morey, Mr. Ciro, this light is very strange. It's best to use any protective equipment you have!"

Although Morey is not a powerful mage, he is a highly skilled alchemist. Naturally, he does not lack defensive items. He took out a small disk from the storage ring, then tapped it a few times, and a magic crystal on the disk lit up. A gentle force floated over the bodies of everyone in the car, enveloping the two carriages and the crystal truck behind them.

As soon as the shield was generated, the green light swept across the small convoy. Morey's shield did not last long under the power of the green light before it shattered, but when the remaining green light swept across everyone, no one felt anything.

"It's really weird. This green light can easily shatter my shield, but it doesn't seem to have any effect on my body." Morey said.

"Could it be related to the God of Nature, or the nearest divine city?" Silla was a little annoyed, "If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have gone out recently. The situation outside is still too dangerous now."

"Look at those trees on the roadside!" the guard shouted.

"How is that possible! The tree started to move. What kind of magic is this?" Morey was surprised.

"These trees have turned into tree people!" Morey hurriedly opened the curtain on the other side of the carriage, where there were also an astonishing number of tree people emerging from the ground. The tree people seemed to suddenly have vision and hearing, and a face made of holes grew out of the middle of the tree trunk. When they heard the movement of the convoy, they all turned their faces.

When the trees on the plains and hills on the roadside all come alive and turn their faces towards you at the same time, it is really a terrifying experience, and several people in the car exclaimed.

The guard had already taken off a rifle from his back. He said: "Mr. Morey, although I don't know how these tree people appeared, they don't seem to be very friendly to us. Ah! They are rushing towards us."

The woods near here are relatively low and sparse, so the tree people transformed are not as tall as the tree people around Alanor, and the number is not as large as there. But the shortest treant was three or four meters tall, and it felt to Morey that one blow could destroy their car. Morey took a quick look and saw that at least seventy or eighty tree men began to walk toward them.

"The God of Nature is above. Monsters turned into by these big trees are everywhere. Our situation is very bad!" Siro said. At this critical moment, he had long forgotten that he had abandoned the God of Nature. "Don't Mr. Lei, what should we do?”

"We must find a safe place first." Morey began to search for scrolls and props from the ring. He said to others: "Give me enough time, I should be able to make a teleportation array! Send everyone back to Green Forest City inside."

The guard said: "This is an unprotected wilderness. We are doomed here. We must rush to the town ahead. There is a wooden wall there. Although it is not very strong, it has no chance of blocking the tree people. Be stronger!”

"Okay! Let's rush into the village first. Maybe we can take away the villagers," Morey said.

"Speed ​​up quickly!" the guard shouted to the coachman.

The driver whipped the horse hard, but the horse suddenly let out a loud roar. One of the horses suddenly began to grow bigger and bigger, its muscles swelled up, and its limbs became extremely strong. The other horse seemed to have lost all its energy and spirit and shrank down all of a sudden. The carriage lost its balance immediately after such a change while galloping. Morey hurriedly performed a levitation spell on the carriage, which prevented it from rolling out. However, the horse that became stronger began to raise its front legs while running. Its hooves were gone, replaced by a pair of sharp claws. The horse monster suddenly stopped and turned around to push the carriage. The carriage, which was originally running, hit the horse monster and pushed it far away. It was about to be stopped by it.

The guard hurriedly raised his gun and shot at the horse, but he did not hit the horse's vitals in the fierce shaking. The mutant horse, whose body was scratched by bullets, was enraged by the attack. It clawed at the guard, but the guard dodged and the claw pierced the driver's chest.

At this time, a lightning bolt shot out from Morley's fingertips and hit the horse monster's eyes. The horse monster neighed and lost its eyesight. The guard drew the dagger from his waist, used his fighting spirit, and cut off the horse monster's head with one sword.
