'Mark recorded …'
He suddenly turned around and looked behind him.
According to the local legends, the Glowing Black Tree was a strange tree that grew beside a waterfall or a lake with plenty of water. It could attract the Psychedelic Pigeons and its fruits were rare treasures that could be used by Knights.
In the distance, there was the shadow of the continuous rolling greyish-white mountain range, and the faint white mist blocked the view from too far away.
The captain shook his head. 'How many times has it been? I don't think it's that easy to obtain a Knight's Faith. I reckon this one is also a one-way trip. "
She was wearing a black princess dress. Her face was pale, and her hair was black.
Angele put down the metal bow. Although the speed of the arrow was fast, he could not fully draw the bow, so the power of the arrow was limited. However, the arrow was enchanted with lightning runes.
'Zero, record the map of this place. I'll be back,' Angele ordered.

There was nothing on the other side of the bridge. The only thing that could be seen was the grassy hill on the other side of the bridge. There was a wooden sign on the hill, swaying slightly in the wind.
The silver dagger drew a silver arc in the air and slowly disappeared.

* * CHI *
On the outskirts of Blue Root City, a remote canyon was surrounded by a large number of dense trees.
* PA *
The sky was dark and the strong wind was blowing. Angele's clothes were fluttering in the wind.
He turned his head around and looked at the bridge, but the girl had already disappeared.
The sentinels were checking the surroundings.
'Please name this place,' Zero asked.
He glanced around the watchtower but did not find anything else. He returned to the hunter's body.
Angele turned his head around and looked back.
The Metal Mastery was between energy and physical. It could store a large amount of metal, but it did not increase Angele's weight significantly. Only when the Metal Mastery was in physical form would it increase Angele's weight. Angele's attack was half-physical and half-force field, but it was effective against Metal Mastery.
He lowered his head and looked at the back of his right hand. The diamond-shaped piece of metal was smaller than before. It was still heating up, and it seemed like it was melting.
Angele walked to the top of the stairs.
He heard light footsteps coming from the forest.
[No traces of abnormal creatures or force fields detected,] the A.I. Chip loyally intoned.
On the wooden bridge, a little girl in a black dress was looking at them from afar. The man stared at Angele with a cold expression on his face.
He stood on top of the sentry tower, in front of the wooden bridge. Gusts of cold wind constantly blew in their faces, and the entire wooden bridge creaked from time to time. It was covered with fine greenish-yellow moss, and there seemed to be no signs of people passing through it.
The three yellow buckskin horses immediately sped up and headed back to the road.
Blue light dots flashed in front of Angele's eyes. The white mist disappeared from his sight and he could see the surroundings again.
Angele heard some light footsteps coming from behind. The footsteps quickly moved away. Following that, there was another hissing sound.
These sentries wore yellow-green leather armor and carried a quiver of black-feathered arrows on their backs. A semi-circular black dagger was tied to their waists. All of their faces were painted with greasy green patterns.
The reason why he still wanted to enter despite feeling that something was wrong was because the things here were very similar to the things he had encountered in the Zither Moon Manor, but much weaker. It just so happened that he was prepared to use this as a test point to verify some of the things he wanted to verify.
A black shadow slowly walked out of the forest.
Not only was he guarding against outsiders and civilians who accidentally discovered this place, but he was also protecting these reckless people from harm.
The old tree spirit mentioned that if he wanted to purify his mentality and become stronger, the first method was to find a strong faith or an external force that could help him purify the impurities.
Angele slowly walked through the gaps of the canyon. The white mist in front of him was getting thicker and thicker, and he could not see anything clearly. He could only see about four to five meters ahead of him.
'This is the pass.'
* DANG *
The arrow firmly pierced into the wooden door of the sentry tower, and a fine blue electric current slowly spread out on the wooden door. Like a ripple, it spread around the door before slowly dimming and disappearing.
Angele followed the map given by the Great Sage, and it took him about two months to reach the Blue Root City.
Angele narrowed his eyes and slowly grabbed the metal bow from his back. He then nocked a black metal arrow on the bow. The diamond-shaped metal arrow on the back of his hand started heating up again.
"Who's there? Show yourself! "one of the captains shouted.
"I hope we'll meet again." Angele narrowed his eyes.
"It seems like I can't do anything right now. If that's the case, let's leave. "Angele glanced around like an eagle.
A silver metal wire was broken and fell to the side. This was a small trap that he had just set up. This sharp metal wire could easily cut through tough cowhide. It was one of the good things he did with the boxes of new metals he acquired.
He rejected the Knights sent by the alliance and drove the carriage to the Blue Root City, the most active place of the assassin organization, the Dark Emblem.
Outside the canyon, there was a six-meter-tall sentry tower every ten meters, and there were archers standing on top of it.
Suddenly, the door of the sentry tower behind Angele made a noise.
The bright electric current patterns illuminated the top of the tower in a pale blue color.
Angele's brow furrowed. He took several steps forward and noticed that there was some black blood on the ground. There was some gray powder beside the blood.
"Huh!" Angele snorted and walked to the door. He pulled out the arrow from the wooden door and put it back into the quiver.
The man threw a bronze plate to the ground.
According to Omicade's information, there was a strange plant growing there. The plant was called the Glowing Black Tree.
"Red Wood Sentry Tower."
There was a large forest on the left and right. The trees were all green and brown, and the wind was blowing.
The man's eyes were wide open, and it looked like he had just seen something terrifying. His body was stiff, and he could not move at all.
The fruit was said to be able to help Knights find their targets, so it might be helpful to him.
The man roared.
Striding into the empty space between the watchtowers, the figure of the black-robed man quickly disappeared into the gap of the canyon entrance.
The whistling whirlwind caused the corner of his robe to flutter continuously. However, the white fog did not change at all. After one wave was blown away, another wave would come back.
The archers looked at the bronze plate on the ground and looked at each other. They nodded.
The sound of bowstrings being pulled was heard, and the three archers aimed at the direction where the sound came from.
There was nothing behind him, nothing at all.
The man nodded and stepped on the bronze plate. A corner of the plate flew into the air and was caught by the man's palm. * PA *
Angele walked around the sentry tower and did not find anything. He left the tower and returned to the carriage.
He could feel that the girl was staring at him. She was staring at him quietly.
The bronze plate was bare, and the only thing that could be seen was the golden border.
"What a troublesome place," Angele muttered. He sat in the driver's seat and looked at the sentry tower.
Angele walked to the puddle of black blood and created a metal plate. He carefully wrapped some of the blood in a metal tube and put it into his pouch.
Among all the treasures Angele had learned from Omicade, this was the one that could help him.
The captain watched the man disappear into the gap of the canyon and looked at the direction of the forest again.
It was a man wearing a black robe. His face was pale, and his skin was covered with a silver hue. His long brown hair slipped out of the hood, and there was a silver metal bow and a quiver of black metal arrows on his back.
Angele's journey back to Arias was peaceful, and he returned to the city after several minutes.
"You can enter now," the captain yelled as he lowered his bow.
The mist was getting thicker and thicker as he advanced.
The red wooden sentry tower was getting smaller and smaller, and it slowly disappeared from Angele's sight.
'Naming completed. Dangerous Unknown Locations. '
The only thing Angele could see was the grass on the ground, but everything else was covered in white mist.
In the deep green forest.
Angele checked the sentry tower again.
'Still, I found something.' A smile appeared on Angele's face.
He had lost contact with his mother, and there was no point for him to stay in this place. Angele chatted with Master Omicade for a while and asked for some information that he wanted to know. After that, he said goodbye to the nobles of the alliance.
It was said that the knights who ate the fruit would find their own path. The fruit was named Knight's Faith.
Although there were a few ways to achieve the same effect in the Magi's knowledge, it would take tens or even tens of years. It was no wonder that most of the Sorcerers looked old and frail. Otherwise, they would have used various methods to live for so long and still be rank 1. That was probably one of the reasons.
* CHI *
'It seems like it's immune to most physical attacks, so only energy attacks will work? Also, it's impossible to track its movements, 'Angele muttered.
He checked the hunter's body carefully.
"Go!"
With a flick of his finger, a strong gust of wind appeared around Angele's body.
Angele looked at the other side of the bridge and saw a little girl walking slowly on the other side of the bridge.
"Still no results?"
Angele shouted, turned around, and shot an arrow.
"Who's there?!"
