Star Forge Titan

"Ahaha, that's not impossible." Alvin laughed awkwardly twice, then went up and pulled the Mountain King off the griffin.

Even with his master holding his arms and pulling him away, the Mountain King continued to wave his fists in the air as a threat. As for the griffin, which had been beaten so badly without even having time to use magic, it now protected its head with its wings in confusion.

The Griffin's current mood, for example, is like a fat guy who was going to eat fried chicken on Crazy Thursday, but was suddenly beaten by something that looked like fried chicken and hamburgers. He couldn't understand it, he couldn't understand what was going on.

Oh, by the way, all the female Pegasus who were held hostage gathered around Sanwang and kept rubbing their necks and bodies against him.

Seeing this scene, the Golden-winged Griffin was so angry that his eyes almost popped out. What the hell is going on?

But it didn't dare to move, it didn't dare to move at all...

Because, there is a dragon on this ship!!!

Chapter 131 Flying to the Capital

The magic of the griffin gives them sharp eyes and allows them to control the wind freely.

Leaving aside the latter, for the crew members on the ship except Cat and Bug, it is at best a magic version of an electric fan.

However, the magically enhanced vision allowed the griffin to see the truth of some facts, such as Afrediya's beautiful curly horns, which turned a light golden color as she matured.

To be fair, Afrediya's horns are quite beautiful, with an overall gradient from white to gold, and the color becomes darker towards the tip.

It is like when the sun rises in the early morning, the sky and the horizon are gradually lit up, and the whole thing is like a magnificent work of art.

But how can one put it? With an intelligence roughly equivalent to that of a ten-year-old human child, before they experience beauty, the first thing they feel is the overwhelming pressure from the top of the food chain.

Simplified into two words - fear!

It was so scared that its strong body turned over, revealing its hairy belly, and its mouth made a shrill and cute cry like a little chicken.

"Isn't this guy the bandit leader?" Alvin looked at the scene in astonishment. Even the Mountain King, who was being held back and persuaded by him, was so shocked that he almost hit his chin on the instep of his foot.

At the same time, the group of eagles that were originally hovering outside the airship all turned their heads to look elsewhere, one by one, as if they had been specially trained.

Despite being a magical hybrid, the Hippogriff's intelligence likely wasn't high enough to understand the concept of "giving their leader face." This meant this wasn't the first time the griffin had begged for mercy in this way, and the Hippogriffs had likely been punished for it, which made it a near-reflexive response.

"Ordinary griffins don't understand dragon language, even just a few words." Afrediya said with a suppressed laugh.

"It was probably once kept as a pet by other dragons. After it grew up, it was released back into the wild according to the druids' recommendations."

"Is that so?" Alvin nodded, then looked at the archdruid with an inquiring look.

"Mr. Kakarom, what do you think we should do about it?"

"Although the golden griffin's population has recovered somewhat in the past decade or so thanks to legislative protection, it is still an endangered species."

As he spoke, the white ape Kakarom shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He walked over to the flat-haired bandit with his belly turned upside down, and mercilessly plucked out all the golden feathers around his neck.

Chirp, chirp, chirp!

The griffin tried hard to suppress the sound, but still couldn't help but let out a sad wail.

It knew that it should behave as docilely as a duckling at this time, but this circle of golden feathers was the most proud sexual expression decoration of the male griffin!

Without it, until the golden feathers grow back, I'll only be able to play with mares! That's about the same as losing my mating rights, and there's no way I'll ever ride a beautiful female griffon!!!

"Well, these can be considered as apologies. Look, isn't it very willing?" Holding the griffin's head with one hand and nodding it up and down, Kakarom handed the beautiful griffin's neck feathers to Afrediya. The beautiful ancient dragon girl thanked him and happily accepted these glittering golden gifts.

Old ginger is still spicy...

Alvin muttered to himself that in addition to his superb fighting skills, this great druid also understood the ways of the world and was worthy of being the ninth elder.

"Don't be fooled by its ferocious appearance, but it is smart after all. It will never actually attack humanoid creatures. And those merchants who have suffered losses due to its robbery can also get compensation from our Druid School through relevant systems." Kakarom added. Obviously, the Louis Gate of the Great Wilderness Forest and the Louis Gate already have a perfect solution for such situations.

Hearing this, Alvin nodded and said nothing more.

So, Afrediya harvested a bunch of beautiful feathers, intending to make them into beautiful ornaments. Although the flat-haired bandit had lost his masculine symbol and all his harem members, he was still alive.

It is really cause for celebration.

"Speaking of which, this guy Sanwang has obviously been transformed into a shell type, but he still has that kind of needs..." Ivan muttered to himself, holding his chin.

At this moment, the Black Horse Mountain King was like a dark and strong man surrounded by fair and beautiful girls, rubbing against a group of female Pegasus with a flushed face.

The Archdruid seemed to be very interested in this life form he had never seen before. He greeted it and went over to observe it. The Mountain King was surprisingly patient with the elderly. It might also be because he was completely unable to care about anything else and was wholeheartedly cuddling with the mare.

"Hmph, in some ways, this mount is really like its owner." Afrediya's slightly sour words came from the side.

"Cough cough cough." Alvin started coughing immediately. He didn't know what kind of cold virus could actually defeat Titan's invincible immune defense.

As for why His Majesty the Demon King suddenly became jealous, the answer was most likely because of the female mage who was looking at this side with a smile, and the elf archer wearing an ill-fitting maid outfit behind her.

Ever since being sent aboard the Voyager airship by Alvin in a balloon, archery master and seven-string musician Honeyfil has been in a very delicate state.

He was captured after his assassination attempt failed, but he was not immediately executed or tortured. This should have been a very lucky thing. But that evil human female mage actually came up with such a method to insult an elven string art master!

How could she let someone wear this kind of clothes!!!

Her face flushed crimson as she stood there, her hands subconsciously rubbing the hem of her skirt. The outermost part of the fabric was only two palms' width away from her thighs. Meanwhile, the breeze from the front made the hollowed-out area of ​​the fabric feel a chill across her chest.

He looked again and again, and as Afrediya's cough became more and more obvious, Ivan turned his head away without any expression, as if he didn't notice at all.

"Don't pretend you didn't see it, you rude guy!" The elf who was forced to wear the fallen angel's O-mouth maid costume shouted loudly.

"As a maid, you actually dare to shout at your own master. Isn't this disrespectful?" Heidi's teasing words immediately choked the elf's tearful accusation.

"So, what is going on?" Alvin cast an inquiring look at his staff mage.

"To put it simply, after some friendly negotiations, the lady decided to compensate for her losses with short-term unpaid work." Heidi's understated answer obviously skipped over a lot of details.

For example, why did the female elf archer succumb to the power of the female mage, or why she was forced to pay compensation even though no actual damage was caused, and who designed this maid outfit that saves a lot of fabric, etc.

"I always feel like I've overlooked a lot of things." Afrediya put away the griffin feather. Now she was no longer jealous, because she had something fun to watch.

"Ladies, before discussing those trivial issues, why not take a look at this?" Ivan suddenly said:

Following his gaze, everyone looked towards the front of the airship.

There, a towering tree gradually occupied the entire sky.

Its roots are in the center of the Great Wilderness Forest, the capital of the United Emirates.

It is also the destination of everyone's trip - Linyuanxiadu.

Chapter 132: Senyuanxiadu

Linyuanxiadu, the capital of the Great Wilderness Forest United Emirates, is a city built under the shade of trees.

"It's even more spectacular than I imagined." Afrediya muttered to herself.

She had read about the giant tree in front of her and the capital of the Great Wilderness Forest in books, but the shock she witnessed with her own eyes could not be summarized by mere words.

As for how big this tree is?

For example, if Alvin transformed into a giant with an astonishing size at this moment, he could still lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade.

The sky was completely obscured by the trees, and the city below was completely enveloped by the vast canopy. To be more precise, the city itself was built on the "mountain", and it could be divided into several layers according to the height, like a layer cake.

However, this 'mountain' is not a real mountain, but a large number of tree roots that are so intertwined that they occupy all the ground.

From a distance, those massive tree roots resembled winding mountain ranges, their sheer size incredibly impressive. Beyond the yellow-brown color of the wood, large expanses of reddish-brown and grayish-brown could be seen on the surface. Their actual material was identical to petrified wood, solid enough to serve as a platform foundation, supporting numerous houses.

Apart from the huge tree that blocks out the sun, the vegetation nearby is not as lush as in other areas of the Great Wilderness Forest, and there is no single tree-covered mountain. There are only large expanses of exceptionally clear lakes, forming a slowly flowing moat around the entire giant tree and the city.

At the same time, because there are only low shrubs and herbs around the giant trees, when looking down from the high altitude where Voyager is located, you will find that the terrain here is quite peculiar.

All around you can see gentle slopes with shallow angles but surprisingly long lengths. The lowest point is where the towering tree in front of you takes root, and it is also the center of this area.

Furthermore, with his vision, which was sufficient to see into low-Earth orbit, combined with the various landforms he had observed along the way, Ivan was surprised to discover that the entire Great Wilderness Forest was actually tilting towards this location. In other words, the vast expanse of land occupied by this primeval forest had an overall structure similar to a basin.

However, this basin is quite flat and covered with a lot of vegetation, so it can only be clearly observed in areas with relatively sparse vegetation.

A sense of déjà vu washed over him, and for a brief moment, Ivan's brain sped up a few percent. He immediately located the source of his déjà vu: Linde, the Central Empire—the Steel City of Vulkan, an industrial city built within a meteorite crater.

If the topography there is magnified dozens of times, it will be highly consistent with the topography of the area where the Great Wilderness Forest is located!!!

But where is the ancient seal? There doesn't seem to be any area nearby that fits the description of the 'bottomless abyss'.

"Young man, it seems you have discovered it." The Archdruid looked at Ivan, whose expression was becoming increasingly serious, with a smile, and his tone was very relaxed.

"Isn't it said that the ancient seal is sealed under the bottomless abyss? Could it be that..."

"Yes, Linyuanxiadu is not only a city built under the shade of trees, but also a city built on the bottomless abyss." The archdruid slowly stated a shocking fact.

"In the early years, the ancestors of the Druid sect united with various races in the Great Wild Forest and finally pushed the ancient seal back into the bottomless abyss. And then..." The white ape Kakarom's expression became a little subtle.

"Oh, looking at that big pit, the predecessors of the Druid faction always felt that they should plant something. So..."

"So?" Afrediya, who was also listening at the side, asked curiously following the Archdruid's words.

"And so there was this tree." Kakarom revealed the answer to the question with a sigh on his face.

……

Almost instantly, Alvin understood why the tree before him had grown to such a mountainous size. Despite being sealed, the unique interference emitted by the "Growth Heaven: Divine Body" still encompassed the entire Great Desolate Forest. As the plant closest to the sealed object, the giant tree before him would naturally be most profoundly affected. Its current size was no surprise.

But the druid's behavior of planting trees on top of other people's sealed land, or wanting to plant trees when seeing a pit, is somewhat strange.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into a mysterious silence.

"Well, it's indeed the Druid style." Ivan coughed lightly and said ambiguously:

"Ahem, this tree is very capable." The white ape Kakarom widened his eyes, as if to defend something. The old man eagerly talked about the excellence of the giant tree in front of him.

"See that river? Originally, as the lowest point in the forest, it should have become a stinking, damp, muddy swamp. However, generations of druids have used targeted spells to mutate this giant tree, greatly enhancing its ability to purify water and remove pollutants. This is how we got this river with excellent water quality."

"Furthermore, we druids will regularly use weather spells to send accumulated moisture from the sky to water-scarce areas to ensure the overall health of the forest."

"For the entire Great Wild Forest, the purification capacity of Linyuanxiadu is also very important. Otherwise, the deep forest would be covered by poisonous fog and miasma, and the water source would not be as clear as it is now."

When it came to planting trees, even the Archdruid, a combat-oriented druid, became incoherent. Luckily, the old man's way of speaking was incredibly humorous, making even basic scientific knowledge engaging and engaging. Not only were the Transcendents present, but even the passing cats and insects gathered around, often laughing in unison at his stories.

Alvin also listened carefully, but at the same time he was still thinking about the question just now.

Why is the overall topography of the Great Wilderness Forest so similar to the basin where the Steel City Vulcan is located?

From the top-secret intelligence obtained later, it was learned that the basin with the same name as the Steel City Vulcan was formed mainly due to the direct impact of a starship in ancient times. In other words, it is basically a meteorite crater, and there are "whale fall relics" deep in it. According to legend, it is very likely the ancient iron whale that the gods rode in the Palladian creation myth.

By the way, should I take some time to go there and take a look?

Ivan shook his head vigorously to bring his thoughts back to normal.

If the area where the Great Wilderness Forest is located also formed a basin structure due to the same reason, then what was the impact object that caused all this?

The legend he had heard earlier from the half-elf ranger Aviva surfaced in his memory: 'The savage god is an ancient evil creature, known as the Groshen-Shengshen-body. Like the great Titans, it descended from the sky, later degenerating into a mad and irrational savage god, wreaking havoc everywhere. The resulting overgrowth of black forests nearly choked off the entire southern Palladia. Fortunately, the savage god transformed by the evil creature was eventually destroyed by the desperate warriors of various races, and its indestructible remains were sealed in the Abyss, forever sealed.'

The Savage God, an ancient evil, descended from the sky...

If the thing sealed beneath the Great Desolate Forest only later degenerated into a frenzied savage god, and before that remained quietly underground, then its true origin couldn't be...

Outer space?

Chapter 133: Black Wings Disappear

“It feels like time has been passing by so quickly lately.”

Ivan sighed. At this moment, he was already at the outer airport of Linyuanxiadu.

The trend brought about by technological change has spread more widely than expected, and even ancient countries like the Great Wilderness Forest have gradually been affected.

New things like airships are rare in this area, but they are not completely uncommon. The corresponding supporting infrastructure has been completed and is very local.

In Linde, to facilitate the docking of airships and the boarding of passengers, a functional building called an airport is specially built. This type of building is usually taller than ordinary buildings and has quick access to both up and down passages.

The same is true for the Dahuanglin First International Airport, located outside the East Fifth Ring Road of Linyuanxiadu. However, the architects who planned and designed it cleverly used the giant native plants of Dahuanglin and built it directly on the top of a small tree mountain.

Therefore, this airport has an extremely exaggerated height and a very unique appearance.

The berth for the airship is simply a thick tree branch, and the passenger passage is also opened on the surface of the branch with a diameter of more than three meters.

Standing high above the airport's suspended corridor, one can clearly see the entire city, shrouded in the canopy of vast trees. Similar to other cities in the Great Wilderness Forest, the architecture here blends seamlessly with the natural environment, creating a unique aesthetic of coexistence between man and nature.

The undamaged Lin Yuanxia is still quite beautiful...

Ivan pondered this. His original memory of Linyuanxia was that it had been the epicenter of the Black Forest's rampant growth, the entire city completely engulfed by the uncontrolled growth of lush vegetation. The Black Forest, with its diverse botanical characteristics, seemed to have fused all the species of the entire Great Wilderness Forest into one mass. Its appearance alone was enough to cause a severe mental shock.

On the other side, Frey, holding or rather pulling his arm, looked around happily. If it weren't for the white ape Kakarom, one of the Nine Elders, standing beside them, the two of them would have looked like an ordinary couple traveling to Linyuanxiadu.

Due to the beautiful scenery of the Great Wilderness Forest and the unique environmental characteristics of Linyuanxiadu, it is not only the capital of the Great Wilderness Forest United Emirates, but also a very famous tourist city in the entire Palladia world. Countless tourists come here to visit every year.

Because of this, the Black Forest Incident had a far wider impact than a terrorist attack targeting a single city.
