Chapter 713: Vivien’s Milk Tea Technique
Translator: Lonelytree
Matthew was shocked.
The elements in this place were extremely unbalanced. Not only was the life element almost completely gone, but the other basic elements that constituted life were also in chaos.
He calmed himself down to capture the direction of the flow of life essence.
One of them left behind a bottomless black hole, which should be the remnant of the Scar of the Dead in the Watcher Highland.
The other direction was behind the oak wall!
It was obvious.
In order to protect something, the Druids also extracted various elements from the earth.
This was actually against the usual practice of Druids.
Matthew did not know what they had encountered.
However, it must be a very serious accident that would make the conservative Druids take the risk.
“Why would the Earth Society extract the vitality of this land?”
Matthew asked Vivien directly.
He knew that it would be difficult to get a proper answer from Hibbert.
Vivien sneered,
“Didn’t you come here to investigate yourself?
” Don’t tell me you don’t have a conclusion in mind? Do you still need to ask me?”
Matthew shrugged and looked at Hibbert.
Hibbert immediately said to Vivien,
“Answer Martin’s question.”
Vivien gritted her teeth in anger.
However, under Hibbert’s clear gaze.
She could only answer,
” As you can see, this land has been seriously deteriorated. The source of this is the disappearance of the ‘Holy White Deer.’”
[Holy White Deer]?
Matthew quickly realized the transcendence and holiness of the word she mentioned.
“Is it the Nature Soul here?” he asked.
Vivien nodded.
“The Holy White Deer was originally a member of the Earth Society. He was also a powerful Druid, but according to my investigation, he disappeared many years ago. It was also from that time that the Earth Society began to transfer manpower from various places, saying that they wanted to strengthen the defence of the underground Holy Church. Who knows what they are doing secretly?
” But I’m guessing that the Earth Society’s continuous shrinking of the defensive line must have something to do with the disappearance of the Holy White Deer. In the end, they even voluntarily gave up on Cross City, leaving only a portion of the Druids to retreat to the Holy Oak District.
” After that attack, not a single Druid could be seen outside the Oak Wall. They only wanted to protect their own land and completely ignored the order outside. That’s why Cross City became the city that we saw.”
Vivien’s tone was filled with contempt for the Druid Church.
Matthew pondered and said,
” For Druids, this kind of behaviour seriously violates the way of nature. This is worse than killing them.
“The reason why they made such a choice is probably because the situation has really gotten bad to a certain extent.”
Vivien said indifferently,
“It’s none of my business. I’m a mage. I just want to complete my mission and go home. By the way, why are you always speaking from the Druid’s perspective? Aren’t you a mage?
” And after saying so much, it’s clear that killing the King of Wither will end all of this. Even if you want to follow the clues, you can start with the King of Wither. Do you have to do all this nonsense?”
She glared at Matthew and questioned him.
Matthew smiled and didn’t continue arguing with Vivien.
He was purely using Vivien as a tool. If he couldn’t use her as a tool, he could just look for Hibbert. As for her attitude, Matthew didn’t care at all.
“Let’s go take a look,” he said to Hibbert.
Hibbert replied obediently,
“Alright.”
The two men walked forward together.
Vivien stomped her feet and followed after them in a huff.
The group went around the oak wall.
He walked towards the sacred oak tree that symbolized the headquarters of the Earth Society.
This Holy Oak was more than 500 meters tall. Originally, one could clearly see its existence in any corner of Cross City.
However, there was a layer of golden veil on the holy oak tree currently.
It was hard to see clearly.
The three of them advanced about 50 meters.
Suddenly.
Matthew stopped in his tracks.
There was a slight gap in the space in front of him, which was captured by his perception.
Matthew looked down.
He found a shallow ravine on the ground. The edges of the ravine were filled with burn marks, and in the middle, there was a murderous aura.
“I thought you would crash into the ritual field.”
Vivien sneered.
Matthew looked at the data panel quietly.
[Warning: You have approached the ritual field of the Earth Society, Sword and Fire.]
[Saber and Fire (Defensive Ritual Ground): Unless the owner allows it, anyone who crosses this ravine will be mercilessly attacked by sabre and fire.]
This was a barrier formed by a heavy sabre and fire to stop the enemy from continuing to invade.
There seemed to be many similar barriers.
Matthew found many traces closer to the holy oak tree with his naked eye.
At this moment.
A fox popped out from the grass nearby.
He sat on the ground with his hind legs and his forelimbs closed like a human. He spoke in the standard common language,
“Please leave, the three of you.
“This place does not welcome any outsiders.”
Matthew realized that this was a Druid, so he immediately said,
” I’m a mage sent by the Silver Council. I’m here to help the Druid Church.”
The fox blinked.
” I can feel your kindness, but I’m sorry, the Earth Society does not welcome any outsiders, including mages from the Seven Saint Alliance.
” In fact, the members of the society are already extremely disappointed with your alliance. The two mages that were sent last time did not do anything other than put on a show. They even shamelessly told us that the matter had been resolved. This caused us to neglect our defences and caused an even greater crisis.”
