You and me under the world tree

"The horse is at the stable, you can go now."

After saying this, Gloria herself didn't seem to have any intention of staying, and she quickly went back along the original road.

And looking at her figure walking up the stairs, Hela couldn't help but glance at the treasures piled up on the ground at random.

"She left us here?"

She couldn't help asking.

"Didn't she say that these worldly treasures are of no use to her?"

Useless means don't care.

"Then she doesn't care if I just take some gold coins?"

"Who knows, you won't be able to use it even if you take it."

Hodder didn't talk too much about this aspect.

After all, he didn't observe the layout of the warehouse carefully. Although he could see that the runes engraved on the outside had a protective effect, who knew if there were any other splicing between these seemingly simple sequences of runes.

Compared with these, what is more important is actually this thing in your hand.

"Gloria!"

Before the female city lord left, Huo De stopped her directly.

"Anything else?"

She turned around.

The giantess above the stairs just looked down on the humans below.

For a moment, the sight that seemed to be mixed with something made Hodder feel a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

"This thing will be returned to you when we come back."

Gloria hadn't mentioned this before, but Huo De felt that it was better for him to mention it.

Although, he felt that he had already guessed the woman's response.

The lord of the City of Ash Trees, Gloria herself was startled for a moment, and then sneered:

"No need, to be honest, if you didn't say you were going to the Central Mountain, I wouldn't have thought that I still have this thing in my hand."

She turned away.

"I'll give this to you. Of course, it doesn't matter if you want to throw it away."

Then, she left.

However, this time her pace was much faster than before.

It's just that this kind of 'quickness' is not brisk, it's more like running away.

But this time, Hodder didn't stop anything, because there was no such need.

"Sure enough, there is a contradiction, but they should be friends?"

"Friends? With whom?"

Hela may have been out of the situation all along, so she seemed a little confused at this time.

"Let's talk to Zebul, but there must be a big conflict, so she threw this rune stone here."

Having said that, Hodder lightly tossed the stone.

"How should I put it? I probably want to destroy it directly, but I can't bear it, so I can only throw this thing here in the end."

"That sounds really complicated."

Hella couldn't help complaining.

Then, when she was looking around, she saw a thoughtful expression on her best friend and best friend around her.

"I think I probably know why."

Frowning tightly, Dietrich said.

"You know about this?"

Hella asked again.

But this is pure nonsense, otherwise how can Hela be out of the situation.

"No, of course I don't know, I didn't even know that Gloria and Zebul had a relationship before."

"But didn't you say you knew?"

"It's just a guess."

Dietrich shook her head.

"Because, how should I put it, Zebul's personality is relatively cold, and Gloria...although I don't know much about it, but according to Huode, she should pay more attention to friendship, right?"

"Ah."

Howard nodded slowly.

She can run around for her friend Linde, which is enough to show her intentions.

"That's right, it seems to conflict with Zebul in this regard."

"What do you mean? You mean Zebul is more fickle?"

"No no no, of course not."

After hearing Hela's confused words, Dietrich shook her head quickly.

"How should I put it, it's just her habit. She's not the kind of person who will deliberately run around to prevent tragedies."

"In other words, if you know it, but don't stop it, isn't that still fickle?"

Hela frowned just like that.

To be honest, she thought it was nothing at first.

Just leave everything to Dietrich and Holder, she is used to it.

But now, she had such a bad premonition in her heart.

"Let's go to her now, nothing bad will happen, right?"

"So she's not ruthless, it's just..."

"It's just an attitude towards life. No matter what, Zebul has no reason to harm us."

Seeing that this matter seemed to be endless, Hodder hurriedly stopped it.

Talking casually about their friends or something in front of others can easily arouse discomfort in the bottom of my heart.

"As for who Zebul is, it's better to see it with your own eyes than to guess at random."

He reached out and patted Dietrich and Hella, then held the rune stone in his palm.

"Let's go find Falk."

On this day, no one knew that there was a rainbow-colored light shining in the stables near the castle owned by the city lord Gloria.

And the three visitors who had come to this city also left quietly.

They only feel that they are walking in a pure white world, and there is a rainbow road under their feet.

What is worth mentioning is that when they completely crossed the iridescent road and came to the other end, they found that they were in a closed space, and it was extremely dark.

"What the hell is this place?"

Just muttering this, Hodder directly raised the magic for lighting.

And when he saw the surrounding environment clearly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

"Why is it the basement again..."

But fortunately, this place is not too wide, and he quickly found the exit leading to the top.

Because the door itself was not locked, he also pushed the door open smoothly.

Then, what came into view was a modest room.

A bed was just placed there, and next to the bed was a desk, and next to the desk was a bookshelf against the wall, full of books.

"here it is……"

"If nothing else happens, it should be Gloya's room. That woman should have lived here before."

After looking around for a while, he saw a dining table, an open kitchen, and a path leading inside.

There are probably rooms, bathrooms and toilets inside.

"Something is wrong here."

After looking around, Hodder spoke.

"Traces of magic."

"It's enchanted here."

The completely different voices of Dietrich and Hella sounded, but they wanted to express the same meaning.

So, they couldn't help but look at each other.

"However, this strange feeling should not be engraved in the interior of the house."

Touching the snow-white wall lightly, Huo De finally walked to the entrance.

After opening the door, what caught the eye was the magic barrier visible to the naked eye, and at the same time, the abnormal sense of tearing became more and more intense.

"Sure enough, this place has been isolated by magic."

Chapter 97: Closed, Isolated, Contradictory

The moment he saw the enveloping magic barrier, Hodder realized this:

They are now isolated.

However, it was not the three of them who were isolated, but a house that should have been inhabited and the surrounding environment that existed here.

With just a glance, Huo De even preliminarily concluded the specifications here.

It seems quite elegant.

A one-story, but incomparably chic cottage, surrounded by a fence that symbolizes a separate space.

While Hodder hasn't been to the back of the house yet, he saw a back door when he was inside the house.

In other words, this place is actually a structure similar to a small single-family manor.

"It's quite lifelike."

After realizing this, Hodder couldn't help but speak.

At this moment, his eyes were on the dirt on both sides of the road.

If there is no accident, there should be some flowers and plants planted in the specially opened area in front of the door.

But now there is nothing.

Did Gloria destroy all the flowers and plants before leaving?

No, it's not.

That woman certainly wasn't bored to such an extent.

It is 'time' that makes the flowers and plants that should exist disappear.

"I don't know how long it's been."

He sighed with emotion.

It has been left unattended for a long time, and these have completely disappeared, so it inevitably reveals a touch of desolation.

"Are you going to stay here?"

After looking back at Dietrich and the others, Hodder asked.
