Chapter 38 Gray Domain(1/2)
Suddenly, when he heard that he was going to enter the gray matter area, Arian and Marian Tit were both surprised and brought people to find Fang Yu to ask the reason. Kailan from the Disaster Investigation Department was also with the two, but the latter was obviously more interested in the case itself.
Arian asked, "Mr. Ed, did you find out if you say those people have anything to do with this case?"
Fang Yu nodded, explained the causes and consequences to the three of them, and finally added: "...My consultant noticed that the spell used by the other party during the battle was consistent with the magic that eliminated the traces on the letter. And they lost their manpower during the battle and now escaped into the gray matter area."
"You said the other party kidnapped another unicorn girl..." Scholar Arian couldn't help asking. Compared to this, he was obviously more concerned about this issue.
"Yes, she is my friend, named Merriel."
"Then we must act quickly and save people first." Arian said immediately, "Sir, Sir, send someone to follow them, I will let others move quickly."
Fang Rong couldn't help but look at the scholar with admiration. Marianne Shantie, who was beside him, also agreed with the plan and said, "Then I will join you too."
Arian also agreed. "Ms. Marian is a trace-trail expert sent by the Geology Society and is proficient in survival in the wild. She will help you, let her go with you."
Fang Yu was slightly stunned for a moment, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm. There are always such noble people in this world, and Merriel has nothing to do with the two. But compared to their investigation tasks, this court scholar and the lady from the Geological Society obviously care more about human life.
He nodded to the two - Ms. Marian was very familiar with the area, and they were in need of such an excellent guide.
The three of them made a plan and each started to prepare. It would take some time for the investigation team to set off. After all, most of the members of the team were just ordinary people. These people were not very adaptable to the wilderness and were quickly woken up from their sleep, and they had to go into chaos for a while.
Fang Yu couldn't wait for so long, leaving a team of people from the two Saint Selected teams to take care of these people, and took another team of people with Ms. Marian to meet with others in the gray matter area.
Aljean and Airoya were waiting for them there. When Fang Zhu arrived, the two looked at the former with awe and several other Saint Selected people, and they realized in their hearts that the identity of this "magic" gentleman was probably not that simple.
But the two looked at the crowd of the Saints of Fang Yu, as well as Marianne Tits and Kailan, who also followed, and wisely chose not to speak.
Fang Yu looked at the two of them and sent a message to them with crystal: "Don't be too nervous. My identity was a bit special before, so it's not convenient to tell you, but I don't mean to hide anything--"
The elf girl nodded gently to him. She was only worried about her friend at this moment. The stronger and mysterious Fang Yu was, the more relieved she felt.
Ai Luoya couldn't help but think that maybe the other party was sent by Lord Ai Meiya to save them.
Only the girl behind Aljang looked pale and asked him stammeringly: "But are you that, that one..."
The method that Fang Ling had shown before was obviously not a "magic", but another profession that all of them knew - not many people had such methods, and the other party happened to be from Kaorin-Ishurien.
When she thought of the words she said to the other party before - she dared to say what the other party was defeated and scum - she wanted to hit her head and die in a nearby tree. She stammered:
"You, you shouldn't be so angry?"
Fang Yu was speechless for a moment and couldn't help but shake his head.
If he wants to blame, he will also blame the bastards who slander him behind the Super Competitive League. It’s okay in the third division, with MTT, Luo Wei and his senior sister, who helped him talk, and there are more insiders.
But it’s hard to say in the second division, and not everyone has paid attention to the Mainland League. Rumors are widely spread due to the intention of someone to push them.
Of course, he wouldn't take his anger on these people because of this, and it didn't even matter for a long time. "It doesn't matter whether I am a person or not, right? You are still my friends, that's enough."
The girl was slightly stunned: "Really, are you willing to make friends with us?"
Fang Zhu nodded.
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "...You are not the same as the rumors outside."
Fang Yu also sighed: "This is not the first time I have heard such words."
"This is different from that Mr. Elyon. In short, we have never seen him. But there are so many rumors outside that you have no competitive spirit. You have used some deceitful means to enter the Hall of the Holy Kings, but they were exposed in public and expelled from the Empire..."
The girl said, "I originally thought that such a person must be a dark-minded and selfish villain, which made even his companions lose their qualifications to participate... But you selflessly lend a helping hand to us and Merell. This matter has nothing to do with you."
Fang Rong was sweating profusely when she heard this, thinking that you are so good at speaking, so don't talk anymore. And what rumors have those guys made about themselves? He couldn't help but grinding his teeth, thinking that he would have the chance to settle the score with these people in the future.
But if you want to talk about the purpose, you can't say that it has nothing to do with him. Although he is kind to Merell and the unicorn girls, the Elf is involved in the behind him.
But now it is not the time to talk about these things in depth. He asked Arjean: "How is the situation?"
He did not see Alisa and others here, only the Miss Shipman, Jita, Box, Paparal, Dalier and Cui Xisi who had been with him were not there either. He should have gone deep into the gray matter area.
"Miss Alissa is following those people," Aljean replied, "The others have picked her up, and she has left this."
He handed over an information crystal to Fang Yu.
Fang Yu nodded and reached out to take it. He could not leave Arian and the people from the investigation team in place without notifying them, but he could not allow those who took Merrell to leave, so he asked Alissa to follow first.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Miss Nightingale is an expert in this field. They have already grasped the other party's traces through the resurrection of the magician. It is almost impossible for Alissa to lose this information when she mastered it.
Just in case, he also asked Dalier and Miss May to pick up the former, but it seemed that others also received messages from Miss Nightingale, and Cui Xisi, Tianlan and Box also chased into the gray matter area.
He took the communication crystal and sent a message to Alisa - due to the interruption of communication between the two worlds, the communication crystal can only complete short-range communication, but the etheric interference inside and outside the gray matter area is huge. Only after entering the gray matter area can he almost effectively communicate with Miss Nightingale in his team.
"I found the other party's trace."
Miss Nightingale's reply was concise and concise, and she lost a coordinate.
"Be careful, wait for others." Fang Yu reminded her.
"Don't worry, Miss May and Dalier are with me." Alisa replied.
Fang Yu then felt relieved, put away the communication crystal, and immediately took the others into the gray matter area.
Entering the interior from the outer edge of the gray matter area, the surrounding scenery quickly changed significantly. The forest was covered with white, like a crystal snowfall, the land was cracked in glass, and the surrounding trees were like crystal sculptures.
A light touch with your hand will turn brittle and turn into ashes.
Just like the forest experienced a gray and white epidemic, the elves initially called it the "Winter of Apoptosis". The shadows spreading in the jungle will wither the trees, one after another - at first there were only tall and straight trees, because their roots were deeply embedded on the giant holy white tree and connected with the holy tree, so they were also first infected by the withering of the holy tree.
Then there were the low shrubs, which turned into gray thorns. In the end, the grassland and flowers were not spared, and even the mossy lichens covered in the soil and the ferns died.
Even the land itself began to vitrify.
The withered trees turned into motionless crystals, like a layer of ice that broke into pieces when touched. The flock of animals that had lost their food either died or migrated on a large scale, and in the end even the birds and insects were gone.
Only a dead silence was left.
Then the gray branches will be born from the uninhabited land, and branches will grow from the dead soil, absorbing the nutrients of the Holy White giant tree, but they will grow twisted monsters and spread gray matter to the entire giant tree hill.
The disaster of ashes is born from this.
"That happened in just four months," Marian said to the others, "first it was the giant tree Gus, then Nian Lott, and finally someone planted a seed in Sanshak, and Nian Mail was born."
"The disaster came so suddenly that no one was prepared for it, and the investigation society had only been established for more than three months," she looked at the other entourages who came with her. "None of us had ever experienced such a thing. All the experience was learned in just a few months of investigation - we learned to fight with monsters in the gray realm and understand the origin of the gray branches and their origins-"
"But I remember that the Giant Tree Hill sent a team to Aoshu to obtain the elves and holy objects for help. That should have happened half a year ago, right?" Fang Yu asked.
"Ms. Marian is talking about the disaster of grey branches," replied Kelland, "but the 'Winter of Apoptosis' actually spread in the hills of giant trees very early, and it was almost a year ago since the Holy White Woods."
"The withered plague did not spread quickly at the beginning, but the situation gradually got out of control. In the end, people found that the problem came from the holy tree itself and even another twin son of the goddess of the forest, and everything gradually became irreversible."
The person from the Disaster Investigation Department silently looked at Marian and the staff of the Geological Society not far away.
Several people were checking a broken crystal tree branch.
Marian was not alone in the process. She brought three peers, and they were also members of the Geological Society. They were among the most capable group. As for the others, they were still following the Elves Scholars.
After they entered the gray area, Fang Zhu realized that he had taken the right person.
This lady is worthy of being an expert in the geology society. She knows the gray matter area well. Although she chatters like all Paparals, she is not vague at all when she starts.
The situation in the gray area is complicated, and twisted trees often make it difficult to judge the direction. The chaotic etheric flow will also interfere with all magical guidance methods, and the magnetic poles do not care about their functions.
Even though he raised the clockwork fairy, the vast forest in his vision lacked obvious references. There were no stars or moon in the dark to judge the direction. Almost every distance he advanced would require a lot of time to determine the front, back, left and right.
Miss Nightingale left some marks, but most of them were lost in the same woodland.
But these are not difficult for this lady from the Geological Society. She can easily infer their location in the gray matter area, and can even tell from some clues whether someone or gray matter creatures have passed by here:
"This should be the trace left by your Miss Nightingale."
"Sometimes ago, there was a team of dead tree people passing by here. I would definitely not admit my mistakes about those things. They are not troublesome, but be careful that there are shadows of trees with them."
"There will be shadows here?" the naturalist lady couldn't help asking.
"There are the most shadows of trees in the wild. They are elusive in the forest, so they are named because of this." The girl behind Aljen looked at the hollow woodland with some fear, "This is not in Silver Wind Harbor."
Marian also replied: "You have experienced the disaster of gray branches in the port. Although it is an elite gray branch, the new gray field is still very fragile and easy to remove. The gray area on the border between Linnorel and Sanshak is almost all the gray area that was originally formed. Some have grown for more than three months. The gray branches that generate them are at least disaster-level, and some are even nightmares. The internal environment of these gray areas is extremely complex, and the shadows of the tree are not the most powerful creatures. There will be some 'big guys' near the core area."
The girl nodded like pounding garlic. If it weren't for Fang Zhu and the others here, they would never have stepped into the gray matter area.
Even so, she felt a chill behind her, as if something was peeking at them in the dark.
The grey branches of the giant tree hill spread to the entire elf kingdom in just half a year. Due to the interruption of communication between the two worlds, the outside world knows little about it. Although Fang Zhu learned some information from Merrier, he generally knows little about the "death epidemic" - especially the grey branches disaster outside the port.
He asked again: "The Silver Wind Port Council has plans to deal with 'Ninimer'. Why don't they send people to eliminate these secondary gray matter areas first?"
The Linnorel-Sangshak Parliament may not be able to take down "disasters" like Ninimel for a while, but it should not be a problem to eliminate disaster-level and nightmare-level gray branches. He saw "elite" gray branches in Silver Wind Harbor once, and thought it would be no problem to deal with the other party.
There may not be many dragon knights in the Giant Tree Hill, but there are still as many silver and gold levels as possible.
"Because there is not enough manpower," but Marian shook his head. "Ninimer's expansion is too fierce, and we have to concentrate on dealing with it. As for these dormant gray areas, we can only slow down a little first."
"Dormant?"
"Most of the gray fields are very active at the beginning of their generation and will expand rapidly after the gray branches grow," replied Marianne, "but after they expand to a certain extent, they will enter dormant state and will not expand further."
"But we are not completely unsuccessful. This gray area on the border of Morning Mist Woodland is one of the earliest gray areas around Linnorel and has long stopped growing. But recently, some people have observed it to revival again - this is abnormal, so the parliament has sent advance troops into Denterville, intending to take action against it-"
At this time, Kailan suddenly asked, "Ms. Marianne, are we almost coming to Dantville?"
Marian was slightly stunned, "Hey, it's true."
"What's wrong?" Fang Yu looked at the two of them and asked.
"Do you still remember the investigation team?" Marian said, "because this gray area suddenly recovered, which has never happened before. The parliament believed that the gray matter area would not recover on its own for no reason. It must be because of some reason that it had a change, so a investigation team was sent to investigate the matter."
