"This is not the place to talk. Let's find another place!" Leo looked at the broken limbs and pieces of meat around him, frowned, and said to the tree demon.

When the tree demon heard this, he hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Afterwards, Leo simply packed up his belongings, mounted his horse, and ran for a distance in the northeast direction. When he could no longer smell the smell of blood, he slowed down and found a slightly open hill to stop.

While Leo was running on horseback, the tree demon's figure was completely invisible. Even Leo's true eyes could not see where she was. But when Leo stopped, she suddenly appeared in the distance.

Not far away, Leo looked curiously at the wedding ring in Leo's hand that was blessed by the white deer.

"What is that?" The dryad was still wary of Leo, but her curiosity about the wedding ring had suppressed her strong wariness. While asking, she couldn't help but get closer to Leo, only a few steps away.

far away place.

Perhaps in the eyes of the tree demon, these few steps are enough for her to escape in time when an emergency occurs, but in Leo's eyes, these few steps are enough for him to capture it easily.

However, Leo did not capture the dryad. Instead, he took off the wedding ring blessed by the white deer, placed it in his hand, and handed it to the dryad.

The dryad looked at Leo, and then at the wedding ring in Leo's hand. He hesitated for a moment, but in the end curiosity took over. He took a few steps closer to Leo, then bent down and curiously stretched out his hand towards the wedding ring.

Touch the past.

The moment the dryad's hand touched the wedding ring, a holy white light emitted from the wedding ring, and then transformed into a petite and exquisite white deer. The white deer looked around with some confusion.

He was stunned when he saw Leo, and then saw the tree demon again, with a puzzled expression on his face.

Immediately afterwards, the white deer was seen floating in the air, pacing around the tree demon twice. After the white deer appeared, the tree demon seemed to be immobilized, not daring to move, and looked at the white deer.

Her eyes were full of awe and admiration, but mixed with a hint of confusion. Obviously she didn't understand why this mini deer that appeared from the ring made her have such a strong emotion, and even this emotion affected her.

body of.

Just as the white deer circled around the tree demon twice and returned to the ring, the white deer's antlers suddenly projected a ray of light and fell on the tree demon's forehead. Then he saw an appearance on the tree demon's forehead.

A complex mark was formed, and the dryad's antlers also turned silvery white, and emitted a faint white light like a white deer.

After everything happened last night, Bai Lu's figure immediately turned into countless points of light, returning to the wedding ring in Leo's hand, and everything around him returned to normal.

After the ring returned to normal, Leo felt that the aura of the white deer contained in the ring had become much weaker. Obviously, there was a price to be paid for the appearance of the white deer incarnation just now.

Then, he looked at the dryad in front of him, and saw that the mark on the dryad's forehead was flickering slightly, with no sign of dissipating, and the dryad's eyes had completely turned silver, just like the antlers on her head.

, the look on his face was dull, as if he had entered a deep consciousness.

Leo did not interrupt the dryad's abnormal state. He put the ring back on his hand, then sat on the mound beside him, waiting for the dryad to return to normal.

About an hour later, a ray of morning light appeared in the distant horizon, and the sky gradually brightened. At this time, the tree demon who had been silent suddenly shook her head, and the mark on her forehead disappeared, and then her body

He was pacing back and forth as if he was drunk. After a while, he stopped and looked at Leo in surprise.

"My lord, let me follow you." The tree demon said bluntly as soon as he opened his mouth.

Leo could tell that the dryad's words were not asking for his opinion, but telling him the results, so he didn't intend to ask why. Since it was Bai Lu's arrangement, it naturally had its purpose, so he turned to ask another

Question: "What happened just now?"

"That was my Lord awakening my bloodline memory for me." The dryad seemed to have lost its vigilance towards Leo. Faced with Leo's question, she answered truthfully: "Under normal circumstances, every dryad will have to wait until he reaches adulthood.

Everyone will accept blood baptism and awaken blood memory. Otherwise, the tree demon will always remain in an animal state. I just accepted this kind of baptism, and it was the incarnation of my lord who personally performed the ceremony. Even my lord's favored ones did not receive such treatment.

.”

"Before this, you were mostly animalistic?" Leo asked doubtfully. The reason why he asked this question was because he had seen a tree demon in an animalistic state in the black forest, which was not the same as a beast.

There were too many differences, and the tree demon before was obviously very different from the animalistic tree demon in his memory.

"Of course not. Did I just behave like those vulgar beasts?" The tree demon asked Leo as if he had been insulted, and then immediately explained: "My situation is very special. I am an apocalypse.

And I am the only Apocalypse who was born outside Luyuan. I have got rid of my animal nature and possess wisdom since I was born. If not for this, I am afraid I would not be able to survive in this world until now."

Leo tasted the other party's words carefully and said, "It seems that you gained a lot of knowledge after Bai Lu awakened your bloodline memory just now."

"Yes, I have gained a lot of knowledge and a lot of wisdom. I know you must have many questions you want to ask me, and I will not refuse to answer them. After all, you are the companion assigned to me by my Lord, at least

Before leaving this world." The dryad admitted Leo's guess and expressed her willingness to share the knowledge in her head with Leo. However, she changed the subject and put forward restrictions: "It's just that some knowledge is not something you can know.

, it’s not something I can say, so if you encounter a question that I can’t answer, I won’t answer it.”

Leo nodded to express understanding and asked casually: "What is your name?"

The dryad was stunned. She was ready to answer various profound questions raised by Leo, but she never expected that the first question Leo asked was her name. However, she quickly came back to her senses and said:

"When every tree demon is born, her name will automatically appear on the stone tablet in the Holy Land. It is a name given by our Lord, and it also contains the blessings of the Holy Land. However, I was not born in Luyuan, so there is no such thing.

The treatment still has no name." As she spoke, her ears twitched, as if she remembered something, and said: "Didn't you say before that people here call me Ruta Xi? If that's the case, then my name will be Ruta.

Let’s have a seat!”

Leo didn't comment on the dryad's decision to randomly decide his name. He didn't continue the topic and instead asked, "Why weren't you born in Deer Park? How did you come to this world?"

"I also want to know this question. I have been in this world since I can remember. As for what happened before the memory, I don't know." Dryad Lutaxi also shook his head in confusion and said: "But

, there is no precedent for a situation like mine. There have been precedents of dryads giving birth to cubs in other worlds and leaving the cubs in that world. Because they were not born in Deer Park, they are not blessed by the Holy Land and cannot

When I returned to Luyuan, I could only wander in that world in the form of a beast until I died. I had better luck. I was born as an Apocalypse. Not only did I have wisdom, but I was also born with the protection of the Holy Land. This allowed me to live until now.

"

"What is the protection of the Holy Land?" Leo asked curiously: "Is it your invisibility ability?"

Dryad Lutaxi shook his head and said: "Invisibility? No, you are mistaken. I am not invisible now. I am just walking in the shadow of the branches and leaves of the world. This is the natural ability given to us by the Holy Land, and it is also protection.

Our ability to move safely through different worlds."

As she said this, she seemed to think that Leo didn't understand, so she explained the meaning of the world tree, the world and the shadows of the branches and leaves of the world.

As Leo knows, every world is a fruit growing on the branches of the world. Since there are fruits, there are naturally branches and leaves. The branches and leaves of the world around the world will form shadows covering the surface of the world, forming a

Overlapping space, and this overlapping space is called the shadow of branches and leaves by the tree demon. Only creatures with special talents can enter the shadow of branches and leaves.

The Middle Kingdom region is such an area covered by the shadows of branches and leaves, and according to the description of the dryad Luta Xi, the shadows of this branch and leaves are very stable, unlike the shadows of branches and leaves covering other parts of the world, which will continue to change over time.

Depending on the location, the shadows of the branches and leaves in this area will always stay in this place, as if they were fixed by some kind of force. This is why the dryads are willing to move in this area.

When the dryad Lutaxi told this part of the secrets of the world, she seemed very casual. Obviously this piece of knowledge was not within her limits, but Leo, as an observer, heard other meanings and made some associations.

As soon as Dryad Lutaxi finished speaking, Leo couldn't wait to ask: "Are there any other living things besides you in the shadows of the branches and leaves?"

"Of course." Dryad Lutaxi gave an affirmative answer, and said proudly at the same time: "However, I am the only one who can appear in two worlds at the same time."

"Can anyone else see you in this invisible state?" Leo asked again.

"You are the only exception I have encountered in all these years." The tree demon Luta Xi shook his head and said: "As long as I don't want to, even if I stand next to the incarnation of the gods in this world, they won't be able to see it.

Me, but they might feel my presence."

After hearing this, Leo suddenly asked a somewhat abrupt question inexplicably: "Do you know the God of the Beginning?"

After hearing this, Dryad Lutaxi suddenly fell silent and did not answer immediately like before.

"Is this question taboo?" Leo asked as he keenly caught the change in Dryad Luta Xi's expression.

"Yes." This time the tree demon Luta Xi quickly responded, and in a more serious tone, he added: "Any knowledge involving the original god is taboo."

When Leo heard this, he immediately understood that the original god was probably not as simple as he thought before. He was just the first primitive god that evolved by itself in this world. He was probably related to the World Tree, otherwise he had just received the blessing of the White Deer.

Dryad Ruta Xi, who has activated bloodline memory, will not act so nervous.

After confirming this, Leo did not continue to ask, and instead asked a seemingly unrelated question, saying: "Since you have lived in this land for so long, you should know everything here.

It’s a lot, right?”

"It depends on what you are asking about." Dryad Lutaxi hesitated and said, "I rarely appear in cities and other places where humans gather. Most of them appear on the battlefield, so if you ask about those things, I don't have any

I can’t answer you based on what I’ve seen and experienced.”

"No, you must know this. He is also famous on the battlefields in the Middle Kingdom." Leo stepped into the topic and asked: "Barbarissa, the Protector of the Country who was canonized by the True God Church, should you..."

Before Leo could finish speaking, the tree demon Rutaxi immediately raised her hand to stop Leo from continuing, and closed her mouth with a serious expression, as if she still didn't know how to answer the question.

Although the tree demon Ruta Xi did not answer Leo's question, for Leo, he had already got the answer he wanted.

Just like what Dryad Rutaxi said just now, all knowledge about the Prime God is taboo, and when Barbarissa is mentioned, Dryad Rutaxi's reaction is exactly the same as when the Prime God is mentioned.

, before there is more information and evidence, he can basically conclude that Barbarissa must have a relationship with the Prime God, and the dryad Luta Xi should know what this relationship is, but he doesn’t know what she knows.

Is it related to the knowledge in her bloodline memory, or is it related to her experiences in this world?

But for Leo, those are no longer important, because he has at least made it clear that Barbarissa will be canonized by a living person of the True God Church and receive such super-standard treatment. Is it because of his relationship with the Initial

The relationship between God and God requires further investigation.

If before, Leo's acceptance of Barbarissa's commission was just a transaction, and investigating related matters was regarded as a game to kill extra time, then now Leo has begun to change somewhat.

Organizations and the Church of True God are becoming more and more interested in the various plans in the Middle Kingdom.

After receiving a lot of useful information, Leo then tried to ask: "Do you know about the forests in the Green Jade Area?"

Seeing that Leo had changed the question, Dryad Luta Xi returned to normal and quickly replied: "Of course I understand, that is my home."

Leo asked again: "Do you know about the situation in Lake Narnia? For example, the kind of spar in Lake Narnia."
