Genn was almost the last one to rush into the gate. Lying on the ground of the Golden Pavilion, he felt his heart speed up. The world in front of him was blurred. The chandelier on the roof split into countless pieces in his eyes. His sister was lying on his back.

On the ground next to him, his little face was pale, and he didn't look much better than Gen.

A group of candidates who had escaped from death were all frightened. During the earthquake just now, if they had not held on to the ground and were thrown out, there would be no chance of survival. Each of them could be said to have walked through the gate of hell. They almost missed it.

I can't come back.

Although many people died during the trial... but it was completely different from the sense of oppression brought by the World Tree. What humans fear most is always the unknown. The fear from the unknown is far greater than death itself. Many people dare to

Although you die bravely, it is difficult to overcome your fear of the unknown. Deep in the human soul, there are things that are more terrifying than death.

"elder sister!"

A fiery red silhouette flew all the way from outside the hall, and flew into Valiji's arms with a bang. It was a red-haired girl with twin tails, who looked six or seven years younger than Valiji.

The two people look very similar, their facial features are almost carved from the same mold, and their hair color is exactly the same.

"Ella..." Valiji completely lost her previous majestic look.

She had narrowly escaped death as if she had been fished out of the deep sea. Now she only felt cold all over and her hands and feet were weak.

"You scared me to death! I thought you would never come back..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I be planted on a broken tree? I am the phoenix Valiki."

"You almost fell into trouble. If it weren't for me, we would all have fallen into it..." Mingya finally took a breath and sat up, "It's a pity that my chain of destiny..."

"That's enough, that's enough. I can't stop talking." Valiji impatiently slapped the other party, regaining a little strength, and she became energetic again, "You made your own decision, if you don't... I actually have a way.

, who owes you a favor?"

"You'd better really come up with a solution."

"Why should I tell you?"

"Ahem, that's enough. You guys go back and quarrel slowly. Where are the things?" Dr. Lostraff couldn't stand it anymore and tapped the ground with his cane. The two people finally stopped and turned their faces away.

other side.

"Here."

Mingya opened the big bag he was carrying, revealing the oval green object inside.

The light green giant seed exudes a shimmering light, and some unknown runes that have the same origin as the World Tree can be seen on it. A layer of seed coat-like film wraps it, and it quickly withers and falls off after being exposed to the air, leaving only

The seed was floating alone in the air.

This seed is seventy-four centimeters tall in total, with a transverse radius of thirty-five centimeters. It is a highly translucent green with a white blurred shadow in the center. The specific composition cannot be determined.

After taking a look at it, the old doctor immediately asked a few assistants to keep the seeds properly. The Golden Hall is now full of candidates who have been summoned. Although they are all their own people, after all, there are many people with mixed eyes, and the World Tree project is of great significance.

, it is not appropriate to let too many people know the inside story...

"Where's Jade and the others? Where's Boken?" Valiji looked around and looked at the crowds around her but could not find the members of the expedition team who were traveling with her.

"..." Mingya didn't say anything. He probably guessed something.

"None of them came back." The old doctor said truthfully, "Only the two of you came back alive. Miss Vicky's positioning ability can only locate people with light thoughts... The others will forever become part of the World Tree.

, we will always remember their contribution, and by obtaining the seeds of the World Tree, mankind is one step closer to conquering the tower."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Is this what I'm asking you? Go and save people! Why are you standing there in a daze?" Valiji stood up excitedly, and Ella desperately held on to her sister. She understood her sister's temper best.

, once she gets excited, it doesn’t matter what you have or don’t have.

"We have tried our best, and it is the best result to be able to bring you two and the seeds out..."

"We gave up on them, how desperate they must be...watching us leave, they can only wait to die. It is dark inside the big tree, there is nothing..." Valiji was completely emotional, tears bursting out of her eyes,

The whole person was on the verge of hysteria.

"Calm down. It's not like you didn't see what happened just now. We almost died too!" Mingya walked slowly to her side and pressed Valiji's shoulders with both hands. The latter couldn't calm down at all.

Push him away frantically.

It wasn't until the tall female assistant quietly walked around behind Valiji and injected her behind with a rapid syringe that the farce finally came to an end.

"Brother...I'm sorry, I still couldn't save everyone. If I had been stronger." Vicky sobbed softly, crying as sadly as Valiki.

"Fool, you have done a great job. If it weren't for you... we wouldn't be able to save anyone, but you helped us get the seeds of that big tree! Didn't the doctor say that we are close to the tower?

If you take one step forward, you have indirectly saved thousands of people." Genn comforted her. At this time, the majestic voice came again, and the White Wolf King walked back to the high platform of the Golden Pavilion, as if he wanted to save his life.

This tragicomedy ends with a bang.

"It's embarrassing, isn't it?" Bjorn said. The scene where he had just shaken the World Tree by himself shocked everyone, and no one would question his strength.

"It's okay to be embarrassed." Bjorn said with a wry smile: "Humanity has always been so embarrassed. When the mind beasts came, we hid in the caves. I don't know how much effort it took to regain the surface. Facing all these strange things, we were helpless.

We are always in such a mess to explain the abnormality. We humans have always been so embarrassed. Even I can only deal with it twice in front of that tree. I dare not say anything about defeating it and destroying it.

You're talking nonsense, I'm embarrassed too."

The self-deprecating speech made everyone in the audience stunned. No one knew why the White Wolf King suddenly said this.

"But so what if we are embarrassed? We survived, we survived in this world full of monsters, we crawled out of the hole, we took back the world from the mind beasts, we gained strength from one anomaly after another, one day,

We will completely eliminate the mind beasts, and this

Everything starts with every step of losing face, just like our ancestors lying on the ground, lower than the dirt and dust, bit by bit, bit by bit, cracking open the bones of animals and sucking in the little bits of life-saving bone marrow.

, until fire and bronze changed the whole world."

Chapter 82: Silver Key

The White Wolf King's office is much simpler than Gen imagined. It is on the top of a tower in Visela Academy. The space is not large. There is only a large desk in it, and the walls are built-in bookshelves.

, there are some thick books piled high, and the covers are full of obscure words that are incomprehensible.

Gen, Vicki and Joel stood in the center of the room, with Principal Bjorn and Dr. Lostrav sitting in front of them. The atmosphere was a bit tense, and the three and a half-year-old children seemed at a loss.

"You did a great job this time, Vicky and Joel. Without you two, the exploration team would have been completely wiped out, and we would no longer be able to get any clues related to the World Tree." Bjorn held up a wooden plate.

Putting it on the table, it was the wooden disk that opened the door of the World Tree before. Now the wood on it has completely withered, like a bunch of intertwined dead vines.

"This wooden disk was left by a mysterious scholar thousands of years ago. It can only be used once... There are two wooden disks like this. We and Holy Union both got one. They didn't encounter any danger at all.

We have relaxed our vigilance." The old doctor sighed, "If we had known that the World Tree space was so dangerous, we should have made more preparations."

Bjorn interrupted him: "It's useless to talk more. The sacrifice has been made. Only by deciphering the secret of the World Tree Seed as soon as possible can we comfort the sacrificed warriors. Vicky, your ability to read light is very special. The doctor wants to

What do you think of inviting you to become his assistant and work for our Anomaly Research Department?"

"Ah! I..."

"You have also seen that dealing with anomalies is also very dangerous, no less than fighting a mind beast. If you don't agree, we won't force you."

"Vicky..." Gen turned to look at his sister. Of course he was very worried, but he also understood his sister's character and respected her choice.

"Of course I do!" The panic in Vicky's eyes was quickly replaced by joy, and she nodded firmly in agreement.

"I would like to ask, are you not feeling well?"

"Well... I was injured when I was a child due to a mind beast attack... so I hope that no more people will suffer the same pain as me." Vicky lowered her head, her legs were still covered under the blanket, which she had been using for a long time.

Her wheelchair was lost in the World Tree space, and the female assistant asked the medical department to get her a new one.

"This is also our mission. Vesela Academy has a cutting-edge medical team, and Dr. Lostraff also has many controllable anomalies with wonderful uses. If you join the Anomaly Research Department, you can get the best treatment."

"Even if it's not for myself, I will join." Vicky said firmly, "I have always dreamed of being useful. I have been taken care of by everyone since I was a child, and I also want to do more things for others one day.

.”

"Your consciousness is higher than many of our students." White Wolf King said with recognition in his eyes.

"As for you, Joel from the Robert family, your father works closely with us. I just saw your talent. Can you join the Anomaly Research Department with Miss Vicky? The research on that seed... requires a lot.

An excellent researcher like you." The White Wolf King turned his attention to Joel again.

"I'm sorry, I can't accept it." Unexpectedly, Joel refused, "I want to become a Light Master no matter what, and I came here for this purpose."

"Amber is right. You are indeed a stubborn child... That is your choice. You have indeed passed two trials. I hope you can prove yourself with your strength." Finally, Bjorn looked at Genn again.

"As for you, Genn, even if nothing happened today, I would still have planned to meet you. You performed extremely well in the first two trials. I haven't seen a newcomer with such potential as you for a long time."

"No prize, I just tried my best."

"You also got that ancient coin. It's amazing. You are the first among so many candidates."

"It's just that the credit was given to me in the end. The victory over that monster was basically due to Naraku." Genn said the same thing as he said on stage at that time. Of course, this is also the truth.

"This is my personal reward for you." Bjorn took out a silver object and put it on the table and pushed it in front of Genn.

"The key to the silver treasure house?" the old doctor exclaimed.

"What is this?" Genn couldn't figure out what this small piece of silver was used for.

"After enrolling in school, you can use it to enter the silver treasure house once and choose from all the things in it. This is originally the reward for the Light Master after completing the task well. With your strength, you will get it sooner or later. It is considered an early release.

Give it to you." Bjorn said so lightly that Dr. Lostrav's eyes almost popped out.

To put it bluntly, the Silver Treasure House is the collection of the Esbern family. There are countless priceless secret treasures in it, and there are even precious telepathy devices. Those things are rare treasures for light readers, and they are qualified to enter.

There are very few people in the Silver Treasure House, and only the most elite group can obtain this recognition.
