Lin, who was carrying a person on his shoulder, had no intention of walking past them. He suddenly appeared and swung the Cassette Cutting. The extra-large hidden weapon was aimed directly at one of the Dark Elves. With the destructive power of the Cassette Cutting, it would be fatal no matter where it hit. The Cassette Cutting spun in the air. The white flames were like a wheel of fire, easily sweeping through the body of one of the Dark Elves.
The upper body of the Dark Elves that had been cut slid to the ground. The splashing blood frightened the other two Dark Elves. One of them hurriedly looked for his weapon, while the other reacted faster. He picked up a chair and was about to hit the head of the stranger who had lost his weapon and was unable to move while carrying a person on his shoulder.
The empty right hand grabbed the air, and the Cassette Cutting was in his hand again. Under the astonished gaze of the Dark Elves, he swung it down and easily split the chair, as well as the head with a shocked expression.
The third Dark Elf had just found his weapon leaning against the wall. He was stunned by the sudden turn of events in the room. He was about to run out to report when the Cassette Cutting pierced through his head from behind. Lin dragged him down again, and all his internal organs fell to the ground.
With some time, Lin was sure that the voice was not in this room. He listened carefully, but heard a voice calling out to him from another place …
He flashed back and forth a few times. But every time he thought that he had reached the destination of the voice, the voice would call out to him from the next location. Fortunately, most of the places where the voice was calling out to him were empty. Even if there were, it was only a few Dark Elves who were minding their own business. They shouted and rushed over when they saw a stranger appear.
These were not well-designed ambushes. Otherwise, someone would definitely call it a day and go home. Apart from the first wave of enemies, Lin did not purposely kill all of them in the subsequent encounters.
Because he did not need much time to find the next location. Even if someone really escaped, he would have already left by the time they called for someone to come back. Also, another advantage of doing this was that he could mobilize the enemy to the wrong place. It would be better if he didn't kill too many people.
But after being played like this a few times, Lin's patience was gradually running out.
Furthermore, after the incident with the Black Tortoise Robe, even though he had profited from the disaster, and his authority as a Mage had increased by quite a bit. Therefore, in this situation where he had no other choice, he was able to protect Malcolm from the corrosion of the high-dimensional mutant energy and perform Blink multiple times.
Previously, his limit was to flash twice while protecting one person. After that, he would collapse. He didn't know where his limit was, but he was sure that it wasn't limitless. Of course, it was impossible to chase after that ethereal voice endlessly.
If the owner of the voice was indeed the World Tree Fasnath, then one only had to go to a place where that person was certain to be to meet the spirit of the tree.
So, guess, where is the heart of the tree?
After all, he had come into close contact with two World Trees, Wadwo and Lahti, and had even entered Lahti's heart. Therefore, Lin had a very deep impression of the characteristics of the World Tree's Heart.
Furthermore, it felt like Fasnath wasn't hiding anything. Almost at the same time that someone cast a detection spell, they found the conspicuous core of the tree. With another Blink, Lin directly entered the most important place of the World Tree.
This was a large hole that definitely didn't match the size of the World Tree. The distance between the front and back of the hole was far greater than the diameter of the World Tree's trunk that Lin had recorded when he detected it from the outside.
Basically, the possibility of an illusion could be ruled out. Marco Lin didn't believe that there was any illusion that could deceive his detection senses. Then, the scene before him should be some kind of spatial folding technique. With this thought, he couldn't help but look around a few more times, trying to figure out what was going on. His resentment towards the space bag still hadn't subsided.
"You're finally here, outsider."
This one sentence shocked Lin, the transmigrator, and he froze on the spot. Because this sentence was spoken in Chinese, a voice that he had never heard in the maze.
"How did you …"
"Actually, I don't. This voice, this language, is just the way you want to hear it. "
Putting down Malcolm on his shoulder, Lin followed the voice into the large hole. After flipping over a few boulders, he saw what seemed to be the heart of the tree.
The heart of the World Tree, like their spirit, didn't have a fixed shape. It all depended on what the observer thought they looked like, and they would see similar appearances. It was a bit similar to the "observer effect" on Earth.
However, the weaker the World Tree, the easier it was for its image to be solidified by the perception of the people around it. For example, the white deer incarnation of Wadwo was almost a recognized appearance. However, there were many opinions about the appearance of the other ancient, Yuktrasir, and no one could say for sure.
What Lin saw, which might be the heart of the World Tree, was an old tree as tall as two people. The withered and yellow vines in the trunk had captured several species of Homo sapiens and imprisoned them inside for an unknown number of years. The innermost ones were so shriveled that they looked like mummies. The skin outside was bloodless, rough, and dry. There were also no signs of life.
Those who didn't know would probably think that the scene in front of them was a man-eating tree, sucking people one by one into the trunk and digesting them.
However, Lin knew that this was just a manifestation of what he was thinking. The same was true for the Mandarin voice. The reason for such a shocking scene was probably related to the "warm" welcome earlier.
"Are you dissatisfied with the attitude of the other Dark Elves?" The human figures restrained on the tree didn't turn their eyes or move their faces, but they opened their mouths at the same time, but only one voice came out.
Lin said unhappily, "Of course." Because he hadn't used Chinese for a long time, his speech was a bit choppy, but Lin still insisted on using it. In any case, the other party wouldn't care about such things. So, Lin continued, "His Majesty invited me here, but it's not right to welcome me like this."
"To me, no matter what happens, if you can't come to me, then there's no value in meeting you. Isn't that so? "
Lin choked at Fathnath's self-righteous words. In the end, he could only curl his lips and say unhappily, "Do you mean that what happened earlier was a test? Unfortunately, I hate it when people test me without my consent. Should I just turn around and leave after seeing You're being so rude? '
"Don't be angry, human. I have a question to ask you, and I'll naturally give you the corresponding reward. "
He used Blink to teleport Malcolm, who had been placed behind him, to his feet. Only then did Lin point at the half-dead Dark Elf and ask, "But before that, tell me what's going on."
"I never interfere with their internal affairs. It's their freedom to punish whoever they want and do whatever they want. "
"But what did Malcolm do wrong to punish her like this? Just because she's on good terms with me? Even if you don't intend to interfere, you can't not know. After all, it happened right under your nose. "
"In fact, from the moment she accepted your ring, she was seen as a traitor. Or rather, someone hoped that she was a traitor so that they could have a chance to replace her. Under such circumstances, there's always a reason, isn't there? And you just happened to give the best excuse, so the current situation happened. "
"Your people are already fighting like this, and you don't care. Is this very interesting? Is Your Majesty watching the show? "Lin raised his voice, showing his dissatisfaction.
"Interesting? No, I don't find it interesting at all. I just feel that the remaining people will be more helpful to me than the losers. And that's the truth. The weak can only be eliminated. "
Understanding Fasnath's thoughts, Lin sighed helplessly. "It's like you're raising poisonous insects. Why don't you just find a piece of land, encircle them, and kill each other directly, leaving only the last one alive? "
"Hmm, a very interesting method. I'll try to see. "
… Damn! 'Did I say something terrible just now?!' Lin's eyes widened, and he stammered, "You can't be serious, right?"
"Why not? I can't protect too many Dark Elves. There has to be a way to reduce their numbers, and leave only those who are good enough. If they lose their lives in their own struggles or trials, doesn't that mean that they won't be able to fulfill my wishes? I only need Dark Elves who are useful to me. "
After hearing the cold words of the plant in front of him, Lin only wanted to take back what he had just said. Unfortunately, even the gods couldn't do it. He could only mourn for the Dark Elves of this tribe for three seconds, and express his apologies for the suffering they might suffer in the future. However, their enthusiasm just now was too much for a certain someone to handle, so he didn't feel any guilt at all.
He sighed. Lin said somewhat dispiritedly, "Ask whatever you want. I'll leave after that."
Fasnath didn't directly ask any questions. Instead, he sneakily extended a branch as thick as an arm from behind a certain someone's back. Then, with lightning speed, he stabbed it into the heart of the fallen Mair and raised it up high.
Although he didn't look back, everything that happened around him was as if he had seen it with his own eyes. The target of the sneak attack wasn't him, so Lin didn't react at all. He watched the situation develop with cold eyes.
He saw that the branch under the brown bark was dotted with glazed parts, and a special energy that was different from the Authority of the Mystery flowed in it. Lin knew that it was like the nutrients of the World Tree itself, and it was endlessly … entering Mair's body.
Judging from the female Dark Elf's reaction, this definitely wasn't something comfortable. Mair, who was expressionless like a dead person, screamed in pain, and it was unknown whether she was awake or unconscious.
However, this pain wasn't a bad thing. Right in front of Lin's eyes, Mailba's severed limb began to sprout and grow at a speed visible to the naked eye until the limb that had been torn off grew back. The terrifying wounds and bloody scars on her body also healed one by one. She seemed to have woken up, and her originally lifeless eyes began to focus.
When her injuries were completely healed, the branch of the World Tree retracted, and Mair fell back to the ground. She looked at the place and the person in front of her in confusion, her mind still unable to catch up to the current situation.
