Little Tyrant Doesn’t Want to Meet with a Bad End

After more than half a year, when Roja Akate once again set foot on the land belonging to the Akate family, the nearby mountains and rivers were already covered in silver. .

Different from the vibrant spring when he left, when he returned, Akate was always so quiet. The black-haired boy rode on his horse and looked down at the great mountains and rivers, and he couldn't help but feel a different sense of security and satisfaction in his heart. .

The feeling of home is perhaps the most indescribable in people's hearts, and homesickness is an emotion that belongs only to human beings, regardless of wealth or poverty.

For Roja, the Akate Territory is not prosperous and lively, and the neighboring Rose is far beyond it; it is not absolutely safe, after all, for the cultists, the Holy See and the Lorraine, where the white-haired old man was located; it was not even Roja's most familiar, and the teenagers who were busy with various jobs actually couldn't recognize the streets in the city at all.

However, even so, after leaving for a period of time, the black-haired teenager will still miss this land, because this is where his roots are and where he spends a long time with his family. He grew up here and left behind many Memories, just come back here again, the restless heart will be inexplicably more at ease.

As for the sense of contentment, the reason is simple, and that is the prosperity created by the development of the Akkat Territory in recent years.

In the past, in the Akate collar, the approaching winter was often a depressing scene. After all, the cold in winter was a major threat to people who were already living in difficulties, and food may also be insufficient. However, after several years of development, Akate has grown. Lingnan has been completely a new look.

The original dilapidated and leaking houses disappeared, and turned into a mix of wood and stone buildings with much stronger thermal insulation. There is sufficient food and fuel is much more abundant than in the past. The villages along the way can see the smoke curling from the food at a glance, and even many hunting teams have been organized. .

Such a life can be said to be the same as the past, and as the lives of the people get better and better, Roja’s reputation is getting higher and higher, and every time he passes through the villages along the way to supply supplies, he will be warmly welcomed. It was in stark contrast to the cautious attitude of the people when other aristocrats came.

For the people in Akate, the arrival of Roja is a kind of honor, and it is enough to go to the nearby Shili Ba village to brag. Therefore, I hope that the young man can stay in his village for a while. However, for these retention, the black haired The young man did not agree, and set off after paying twice the market price for supplies.

"My eldest brother is really welcome, but...isn't it true that we don't stay overnight? Father-sama is still too late."

After returning to the road, the silver-haired girl looked back at the people who were seeing off behind her and said this, with a somewhat proud smile on her face, but Roja was helpless when she heard Alyssa's praise and questions. smile.

"It's not too late for Father's side, but... we have to detour a little."

"Detour? Where do you want to go, eldest brother?"

"Well, I'm going to meet an acquaintance."

The black-haired boy said so and looked at the distant mountains, while Alyssa, who heard Roja's words, blinked, and after thinking for a while, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

As the acting lord of Akate Territory, Roja wants to see anyone in the territory is almost a matter of a word, and he can have to go in person. There is probably only one in this territory, and that is a few years ago. The tree man who came here——【Recorder】Cade.

As a former member of the Twilight Sage Society, Cade can be said to be Roja's old senior. Out of respect for the senior, the black-haired teenager took the initiative to enter the mountain every time he went to see Cade. On the other hand, even if Roja really didn't want the tree man to move.

The arrival of Cade was originally invited by Roja with a mentality of unilateral help. However, after arriving in the Akate Territory, the huge tree man did not make a decoration, but served Akate in his own way. lead contributed.

Ever since Cayde took root in the mountains in the southern part of the Akater Territory, the werewolves of the Charon Forest seemed to have obtained GPS positioning. In a few months, they traveled across thousands of miles to the Arkat Territory, and set off a battle in the forest. Bloody storm.

Under the management of the werewolves, the monsters in the forests in the southern part of Akate's territory were forcibly rectified, and all of them were included in the management of Kaide. As the monsters were put on collars, the wolf problem in the territory that had plagued Roja for a long time was also completely resolved.

In the past, they were regularly suppressed by Akate, and these monsters were at best difficult to pose a threat to the village, but since Kade took action, not to mention the village, not even a single wolf feather was seen on the road, making the merchants tsk tsk. Surprisingly, it has greatly maintained the transportation network of Akate.

However, this is not the end, and what Roja did not expect was that the tree man actually constructed an induction network covering the entire Akate Territory through his own racial ability and the flow of magic power in the leylines.

Within this induction network, as long as the use of magic power reaches source level 3 or higher, it will definitely attract Caed's attention, and the large-scale military mobilization cannot be concealed from its eyes, which is equivalent to a monitor that constantly monitors the changes in the territory. .

As a forest lord with standing troops such as monsters and werewolves, once Akate leads an enemy invasion, Cayde is able to link up with Roja to form a monster army, and take turns to attack the enemy day and night.

Can maintain law and order, can take the initiative to fight, usually help with monitoring, and can drink together and listen to stories and brag.

The security level of the Akater Territory.

It is Roja's duty as the acting lord to visit this security pacesetter every year. On the other hand, the black-haired boy has a lot of other things to say this time.

The boy who thought so decided to go to the mountain, but the girl with silver hair immediately expressed her support, and there was an expression of anticipation on her face.

If Roja and Cade are in a relationship similar to friends and partners, then Alyssa, who has almost infinite life energy, is the object of the tree's respect. Every time she sees Alyssa, the huge treeman will prepare gifts for the girl, On the other hand, the silver-haired girl had originally planned to go into the mountain.

"Brother, in fact, I have prepared a surprise for you."

"surprise?"

"Yes, I wanted to wait for a while, but since you're going into the mountains, you'll find out soon."

"Um?"

Looking at Alyssa who said this with a smile, the black-haired boy looked puzzled, but he didn't ask any further questions. The Arcat family's motorcade just deviated slightly from the route under the boy's command and drove towards the southern mountains.

-------------------------------------------------- -------

What are the prerequisites for a door-to-door visit?

The answer to this question will vary according to the relationship between the two parties, but for the overlord in the mountains in the southern part of the Akat territory, the answer is unquestionable. it is good.

"Sir, this is all the wine that can be bought in the nearby villages, you see..."

"Well, that's almost enough."

Looking at the dozens of wine barrels held in the hands of the pagan warriors behind him, the black-haired boy nodded and answered Cynthia's question, then took Alyssa's hand beside him and walked towards the mountain.

After coming to the vicinity of the forest where Cade was, Roja did not enter directly, but joined Cynthia and others who came here to stand by in advance. The reason for this is very simple, that is, confidentiality.

As a member of the Twilight Sage Society, he was targeted by the cultists. This is the reason why the tree people had to move to Akate Land at that time. Therefore, the existence of Cade must be absolutely kept secret from the outside world, even if there is no For this reason, judging from Cade's current role in Akate, Roja doesn't want people to know its existence.

Then in Akate, who can absolutely keep this secret?

Without a doubt, it was the pagan elites who followed Roja.

Among the pagans who follow the teenagers today, the Strength sect can be said to be the worst, because they were chased by the cultists and fled into the forest for a while, but they managed to gain a foothold in the forest after being taken care of by Cade, while the Perseverance sect on the other side It was the guard at that time who had also seen the giant tree man directly.

Because of this, after coming to Akate Land, Roja assigned the task of contacting Cayde to the pagans, and the facts also proved that this decision was correct.

Under the silvery moonlight, Roja and his party shuttled through the forest, the whole process was silent, and as the youth and others advanced, the trees in the forest moved one by one, changing the terrain to make way.

Manipulating trees can be said to be the innate ability of tree people. It is as easy as eating and drinking. It is usually used to confuse people who enter the mountains and prevent them from accidentally breaking in. But in front of Roja, this skill has become a Navigation road sign.

Under the guidance of the tree man, Roja and his party traveled for more than an hour to a valley, and surrounded by many towering trees, the familiar giant tree slowly opened his eyes and looked towards the front. juvenile.

"Long time no see, Lord."

"Long time no see, Cade, looking at you, this time seems to be going well, and it's not acclimatized."

"Unaccustomed to the soil and water? No, the environment here is very good, even better than the place where I cultivated before. The fragrance of the land is intoxicating..."

The tree man who said this waved his branches and praised the black soil of the Akart family. The black-haired boy smiled when he heard the words, and behind him, Cynthia and others quickly put the wine barrels and left. .

Alyssa applied to Roja to leave before she came here, and she went somewhere under the moonlight package, so there is only Roja in the forest now, and after the initial greeting, the black-haired boy finally began to enter. to the point.

"Cade, this time I came to see you not only to deliver wine, but also to tell you something."

"Huh? What needs to be told to me, is it the news of the Twilight Sage Society?"

"No, on the contrary, it's about the Fallen, or a Fallen Treant..."

"..."

Hearing Roja's words, the giant tree man's swaying branches froze, his wooden eyes slowly widened, obviously not expecting Roja to say these things, and seeing Cade's expression, the black-haired boy spoke. Tell me all about your experience half a year ago.

Under Roja's narration, Cade's expression gradually became serious, and his face full of vicissitudes became heavier. After a long time, the huge tree man sighed and said slowly:

"...Bunyan Chad, that's its name."

"Huh? You know it?"

The black-haired boy who heard Kaide said this was slightly stunned. He never expected that the two trees that couldn't move their legs could know each other. However, when he heard the boy's question, Kaide's huge tree crown shook and gave it to him. deny.

"No, it doesn't count, it's strictly me

Know it, because it was once the pride of our people and one of the regrets of the fall of the Savior..."

The tall tree man said so, let out a hoarse sigh, and told Roja the story circulating inside the tree man.

In ancient times, as a race, the tree people were not as peaceful as outsiders imagined. Just like other intelligent creatures, there were factions and differences, and the biggest difference was whether to give up the concept of "tree" and turn to "tree". people" approached.

Undoubtedly, as a famous immortal race, the tree people have very powerful power, but living motionless in the forest has made the tree people almost unable to participate in any affairs of Shia, and this power has nowhere to go. use.

Faced with this situation, some tree people advocate not as "trees", but as "people", living together like other intelligent races, the operation of the remnant world and the formulation of rules, and the most representative one of them is Bunyan Chad.

"When I was still young, I once heard its name mentioned by the elders of the clan. In the City of Eternal Night, the Treant priest who is in charge of the artifacts is not wrong, it is it..."

"..."

Hearing Kaide's explanation and sigh, the black-haired boy fell into silence, not knowing what to say for a while, but what he didn't expect was that the huge tree man actually thanked him after sighing.

"Awakener of the ancient blood, thank you for being able to free his soul..."

"No, that's what I should do."

The tree man's huge body leaned forward slightly as if to bow, and Roja responded calmly and softly, and then threw a wine barrel on it.

Although the voice was full of sadness and emotion, the moment the wine barrel was thrown out, the tall tree man was extremely flexible, and the huge Tengman caught the wine barrel firmly in one roll, and then went directly to the crack in the tree trunk. Dumping started.

As the saying goes, wine can solve thousands of sorrows. Although Roja thinks this sentence is not entirely true, it is quite effective on the ancient tree people in front of him, and after pouring a barrel of wine in one breath, Cade is in a good mood. a lot.

"Oh, pine wine, this is really a natural reward... Lord, won't you come a little?"

"No, I'll let it go."

"Well, it looks like you have something else to say."

Looking at the young man whose expression was still serious after talking about the fallen tree man, the huge ancient tree guessed so, and Roja nodded when he heard the words.

"Well, in fact, this time I came here to ask you something, but it's not about the outside world, but about me..."

"you?"

"Yes, there seems to be something wrong with my bloodline ability recently, an ancient god lost contact..."

"..."

Looking up at the ancient tree under the moonlight, the black-haired boy briefly informed the tree man that the passage of the Witch King had been unable to connect, and asked the ancestors if there was any precedent.

From the black-haired boy's point of view, if such a situation is normal, then there must be records left. As a [recorder], Cade, who has lived countless years, might have a clue, but what disappointed him was that , Hearing the young man's words, the tall treeman fell into a rare silence, and after a long time he said slowly:

"...Part of the bloodline's ability to fail, this is indeed possible in theory, such as being sealed by the opponent with a special spell, but that happens only when the opponent's strength is much stronger than yours. "

The tree man who said so shook his head and looked at Roja to deny this possibility.

The strength of today's youth has reached the peak of source level 3, and is about to enter source level 2. At this level, even source level 1 cannot seal part of the power of the blood of the chosen king, and [Six Calamities] 】As an existence restrained by 【Crown】, it is even more impossible.

Roja's situation was not in line with common sense, so Cade couldn't give an explanation, and after listening to the tree man's words, the black-haired boy's face became heavy.

Since the return of Gulandal and others, Artasia's loss of contact has been going on for more than half a month. Until now, the black-haired boy didn't even understand the reason. This situation made Roja extremely anxious. And intuitively felt a hint of danger.

Among Roja's digital ancient gods, although Artasia is not the strongest in attack, she is exceptionally good in defense and the induction of many spells, and has a variety of knowledge to assist Roja, several times The white-haired witch played an important role in life-and-death battles.

Now that the Witch King is absent, Roja has not only been greatly affected by his combat power, but more seriously uneasy. After all, without knowing the reason, the black-haired boy does not know whether this kind of thing will happen again. .

"It seems that I can only rely on the [Crown] Origin Quality..."

In desperation, the young man said to himself that he chose the final plan, and began to activate the source quality continuously to connect to the witch's channel, but what he didn't expect was that after an unknown number of connections, a faint faint A feeling suddenly appeared in the boy's heart.
