Star Forge Titan

However, what they discussed along the way was not some grand plan to save the world. The two of them were carefully planning their next...travel route.

Well, Ivan was in a very calm state of mind at the moment. In fact, after successfully contacting Kakarom, one of the Nine Elders, the probability of a major Black Forest Evil Spawn incident could be basically reduced to a minimum.

A certain alien's outspoken "spoiler" was a truly honest and upright strategy. Knowing that extremists were attempting to break the seal, the druids naturally wouldn't be fooled by their subtle tactics.

The cognitive misunderstandings caused by the lack of information have been eliminated. The current situation is no longer just a matter of advantage for me, but a 1000% chance of winning.

Kakarom, who holds the dual identities of 'Nine Elders' and 'Archdruid', can represent both the Druid faction and the United Emirates of the Great Wilderness Forest at the same time. Reaching a successful consensus with them means the dual support of the extraordinary faction and government forces.

The nine great druids plus the entire druid faction's upper-level extraordinary people, even if Ivan himself is not counted, their combat power is already in a crushing advantage.

In contrast, the fragile alliance formed by the Forest Dragonborn and extreme druids like the Cult of Winter is simply impossible to bridge this gap. Unless some major trouble comes from the sky...

"I always feel that this time went unexpectedly smoothly." When leaving the Traveler airship, Alvin couldn't help but sigh.

"Why do you say that?" Afrediya asked in confusion.

"Well, remember when we encountered the Apocalypse-class Undead Colossus?"

"Of course." Although she was curious about why Alvin suddenly brought up the old story, Fulei quickly gave her answer.

"I was just a barbarian back then." A Titan who had just defeated a group of Witch Kings not long ago made a rather sad sound.

"...Although it is true, it always feels strange to hear it coming from your mouth." Frey had a strange expression on her face. In order to maintain the dignity of Lord Elrond, she managed to hold back her laughter.

"Cough." After a light cough to hide his embarrassment, Alvin continued speaking.

"Anyway, every time I feel like I'm improving, I encounter enemies that are more troublesome than I could have imagined."

The young man let out a long sigh. From the old and powerful bloodthirsty prince to the terrifying wizard king who had obtained ancient secrets, the enemies he encountered along the way were truly extraordinary.

"Is that why you think this time went unexpectedly smoothly?" Frey showed sympathy. If this wasn't a public place, she would have wanted to find a ladder and touch her boyfriend's head.

"Yeah." As he said that, Alvin suddenly looked down at the astonishingly large tree. If we talk about an unexpectedly powerful existence, isn't this it?

The next second after he raised his eyebrows, he noticed that the archdruid gave him a meaningful look.

Without saying much, everything was implied.

The Traveler airship wasn't large, making it even less noticeable within the entire Linyuan Underground City. The Archdruid beside him had also changed his white fur to gray, so their arrival didn't cause any significant commotion.

However, the previous grand "enlightenment" was like a huge rock that broke the calm surface of a lake, causing undercurrents to surge among various forces in the Great Wilderness Forest.

The scene of Afrediya revealing her dragon form had a huge impact on the secretly connected dragon factions.

In a dark room, a group of dragonborn who were literally rising to prominence were holding a meeting around a long table.

"Is there any news from our ancestors?" Black Horn Arcturus asked everyone from the main seat at the long table.

This dragonborn, who looks like a human in his fifties or sixties, is actually much older than that. His dragon blood factor makes him exceptionally long-lived. His receding hairline reveals a short black horn on his forehead, which is also the source of his nickname.

Beside him, he could see pairs of almost prismatic animal eyes. Dragonborn didn't need bright light to see their surroundings. The high concentration of dragon blood gave them scales and sharp claws that flickered out from their fingers, even in the dim light of the room.

Relying on their bloodline talents and family power, many members of the Dragonborn faction served under Lin Yuan. Although they were scattered across various departments, they all held considerable influence. Their leader, a Dragonborn of exceptionally pure blood, had, after countless years, risen to a position just below the Ninth Elder.

If an outsider who is not aware of the inside story suddenly walks into this room, he or she might think that he or she has accidentally walked into a decision-making meeting held by high-level public officials.

The depressing atmosphere on the scene was very similar to that of a decision-making meeting.

After a long moment, someone whispered.

"Ancestor, he, the ancestor did not respond, and no black wings flew over the Great Desolate Forest."

Chapter 134: There is a jump ahead

While the Dragonborn faction was holding an emergency meeting, Alvin, Frey and his group had already entered Linyuan's lower capital.

"Logically speaking, given the status of the two Excellencies, the UAE should prepare a grand welcome ceremony."

Kakarom, the white ape at the front of the group, apologized as he leaped onto a branch with the same ape-like movements. Considering the old man's age, he had long since reached the stage of being able to do whatever he pleased without breaking the rules. His actions, so casual that they seemed a bit rude, were actually... in fact, completely meaningless; they were simply the archdruid's habit.

Ivan, who had had some interactions with the other party in virtual Palladio, twitched his lips and then pretended not to see it.

"The situation is urgent, we can fully understand." As for what the Archdruid just mentioned, he just waved his hand, not taking it seriously at all.

Even though he had the title of prince and other noble titles, a visitor from another world, just like in the past, did not attach importance to superficial etiquette and pomp.

Similarly, Frey, who was walking beside him with a curious look on her face, didn't care about these things.

Compared to the ruler of the Northern Kingdom of Elrond, she is more accustomed to her identity as a wizard and a dragon. Oh, and in the future she may also have to be the wife of the chief (chief?).

After finding that the two of them really didn't care, Kakarom couldn't help but smile until his face wrinkled. The archdruid stretched out his arms and swung from one branch to another, almost making a monkey-like "ooh-oh" sound.

At this moment, several people were walking in the giant tree that was bigger than a mountain. The lush plants and endless branches around it made people feel as if they were in the depths of a jungle. It was hard to imagine that this was located in the center of a city, but this was indeed the most important core area of ​​Linyuanxiadu.

The tree planted by the ancient druids above the bottomless abyss has now grown into an extremely large tree mountain that can completely cover the dark abyss - Arcturus.

"Arcturas..." Frey muttered the name she heard from the Archdruid, and then she showed a look of understanding.

"Does this name have any meaning?" A young Titan who dropped out of prenatal education asked without caring about his face.

If he felt ashamed of this, he would have been so embarrassed that he dug a hole and walked into it eight hundred years ago. Don't forget, if it weren't for this red-haired beauty beside him, a certain illiterate barbarian would still be illiterate. At that time, he couldn't even understand the most common language on the continent, Xuma. At most, he could only speak and listen, and had no reading or writing skills at all.

"Guardian, well, it's related to astronomy and the druid tradition passed down to this day in the Great Wilderness Forest. Considering that the seal is right under our feet, it's no wonder that the tree was named this way." Frey said in a very certain tone.

"Wow, you are worthy of being the most outstanding chief graduate of the City of Thousand Towers." The words of the Archdruid confirmed Frey's guess.

"Guarding and sealing, it seems that it is not as simple as a tree mountain." Alvin smiled, and some related content emerged in his memory. That was the real trump card of the Druids and even the entire Great Wilderness United Emirates. It was also the fundamental reason why the Black Forest Evil Birth incident did not fall into the worst result.

A fifth-order super-powered giant mobile fortress - the Treeman Emperor Arcturus!

Despite being founded later than the other two nations, the Great Wilderness United Emirates also boasts a fifth-tier power. The presence of a dragon-born faction within the nation also suggests some connection to the dragon race.

"We are just better at planting trees." The white ape Kakarom laughed, his eyes showing the wit and meaning unique to the elderly.

Alvin couldn't help but secretly complain, yes, he is good at planting those big trees that can pull up the roots and start, and by the way, punch the enemy into two pieces with one punch.

In his memory, the Treeman Emperor Arcturus could not only be in the form of a mobile fortress that was adaptable to land, sea, and air, but he could also switch to the guardian mode. In that mode, he would appear as an ancient treeman so large that clouds could be seen at his waist.

But the solid feel of the wood beneath his feet made it hard to imagine he was walking on a plant. The massive tree mountain, Alcatraz, was a hollow sphere. At its center was a massive trunk, comparable to the base of a rail elevator. The canopy, covering the entire city, grew outward and downward until it touched the ground. Its densely packed branches intertwined into a web, becoming sparser toward the periphery and the ground, and denser toward the main trunk and the higher elevations.

Considering that the existence they were about to face was the most advanced secret of the Great Wilderness United Emirates, Maomao Chong and Heidi did not follow.

At this moment, the large amount of life breath coming from the green shade ahead indicates the truth that although this place looks peaceful and tranquil, it is secretly heavily guarded.

This is the reason why the group was able to take a vehicle when leaving the airport, but now they have to walk entirely.

Speaking of which, the means of transportation that can be used on the Tree Mountain are also quite unique. To be more precise, the animals pulling them are very unique. They are a group of large lizards with six to eight legs, which are specially fed to travel on the surface of the Tree Mountain Arcturus.

The palms with suction cups at the end of the limbs can help the multi-legged lizards to "climb walls" on trees and hills at a vertical angle to the ground, while the two or four limbs that are more than ordinary creatures are responsible for grabbing the passenger compartment when moving horizontally.

Apparently, in addition to planting trees, druids are also good at dealing with various animals.

However, Alvin dared to guarantee that those seemingly ordinary tree-dwelling animals at this moment, those vaguely special but ordinary leafy branches, were actually all well-trained druids.

Things like talking cats, talking dogs, talking monkeys and even talking trees are commonplace for druids. The difference between individuals is at most the range of their species.

The most skilled druids can even transform into a giant dragon, using their powerful bodies to fight while unleashing natural magic. If my magic can't defeat you, I'll use the claws or teeth of my animal friends to defeat you, and vice versa.

If it weren't for the Archdruid Kakarom, one of the Nine Elders, leading the way personally, those guards would have jumped out eight hundred years ago to sound the alarm or shake people or something.

Following Archdruid Kakarom's footsteps, the vines and wild animals that had been obstructing the path ahead parted, revealing a tree hollow leading deep into the main stem. Alvin looked up at the tree hollow, over ten meters high, and realized it was a tunnel, the kind big enough for a train to run through.

In fact, after entering the 'tree hole', the Archdruid let out a monkey cry, and a rumbling sound immediately came from deep inside.

Although Alvin didn't feel nervous, he couldn't help but look surprised by what appeared in front of him.

"Wow, what a big rat!" Frey's exclamation was also what Ivan wanted to say.

"Coo-coo-coo!" A large stuffed animal emerged from the tree hole, humming in dissatisfaction. It resembled most rodents, except for its unusual size, standing over five meters tall.

Its fur is also very bright in color, generally reddish-brown, with its arms and back being dark black. Only the neck is a completely different white. The overall color is quite fancy, just like wearing a flowery cotton jacket.

The most crucial point is that this furry creature exudes a powerful magical pressure comparable to that of a superior transcendent.

"It's not a mouse, it's a squirrel." Seeing the big tail shaking behind it and the extra tuft of hair on the tip of its ear, Alvin immediately recognized its true identity.

He also noticed that the squirrel, magnified countless times, was carrying a simple wooden carriage on its back. Two thick leather belts passed underneath and connected to the squirrel's vest, securing the carriage without affecting its movement.

"This is an old friend of our druids, the Malabar giant squirrel - Sloppy Tok. Like the previous Lord of the Wild Boar King Mountain, they are both giant beast creatures unique to the Great Wild Forest." The white ape Kakarom introduced the identity of the person with a smile.

"Come on up, we've got a long way to go. Luckily, we can get rid of Sloppy Tok and give us a ride."

Chapter 135: A New Look

Sloppy Tok, the big squirrel with this nasty name is actually not sloppy.

In fact, this fat squirrel with shiny fur is as clean as a house pet.

There is no trace of common dirt found in wild animal fur, such as fallen leaves, bark fragments, and dust, and not even a single parasite that could cause disease can be seen.

All of this stems from the extraordinary spell-like ability of the squirrel Sloppy Tok. When it starts running, a whirlwind will rise from under its four limbs that look short but are actually very long.

As Scraggly Tok the Squirrel continued to run faster, the whirlwind continued to expand until it became a whirlwind cloak that covered its entire body. At that point, its fur would flatten in one direction, and its usual round shape would instantly transform into a wind-breaking teardrop shape, like a hooded armor-piercing projectile with a fairing, further accelerating its movement.

It was very fast, and it flew far away in a "whoosh", even faster than Salamander.

Back to the point, the druids called this fat squirrel Scruffy Tok because of its fur. The colorful interweaving of red, brown, black and white looks even more fancy than a Middle Eastern handmade carpet.

Sitting in the sedan chair carried by the squirrel, Ivan felt a distinct push from behind. Fulei, who was sitting next to him, subconsciously clung to her boyfriend's arm, but her face was filled with excitement.

I have a feeling this girl and Diana would get along very well. Wait, should this kind of development be avoided?

The young Titan, lost in thought, heard the cheerful voice of His Majesty the Demon King.

"This big furry squirrel runs so fast."

Just like Odin, the great god widely worshipped in the Northern Kingdom, most northerners love all kinds of furry animals because they not only provide delicious meat, but also warm fur. They are also cute in appearance and even children are not afraid of them. Even children who have not received any mystical transformation can try to catch rabbits with props such as traps or soft bows.

As for the ice tribes living further north, their hunting targets tend to be larger furry animals such as snow foxes and winter wolves. After all, the temperature in the ice region is much lower than that in the northern kingdom, and the various creatures in the environment also tend to be larger.

"Squirrels are very agile among mammals. Those little guys can run at an incredible speed of thirty to forty-eight kilometers per hour. Not to mention, Sloppy Tok is a rare gigantic beast." The Archdruid was naturally very knowledgeable about animals, and he looked very happy when he mentioned it.

The wooden car they were in at the moment had an interior structure that was much more delicate than its plain exterior. The vines covering the roof had a few small flowers at the end, emitting a bright but not dazzling light. The seats were made entirely of delicate and soft willow branches, and one could even see lush leaves growing on the edges. It seemed as if the car itself was a green plant with a strange shape.

Due to its unique structure and living nature, the double-layered structure within the elevator rotates synchronously regardless of the giant squirrel Sloppy Tok's leaps and bounds, ensuring constant dynamic stability. This alone demonstrates that the natural magic of the Great Wild Forest druids is evolving with the times; they are far from superficial environmentalists who forbid humans from cutting down trees or eating meat.

The squirrel continued running, quickly passing through the dark, spacious tree hole, which resembled a tunnel, and descending even deeper into the ground. Ivan, relying on his perception of the external magical environment, immediately confirmed this, and his expression gradually grew serious.

"What's wrong?" Frey beside him immediately noticed that he looked different and asked.

"No wonder Tree Mountain Arcturus has grown so large," Ivan sighed softly, casually drawing light from the surroundings. His spiritual power allowed him to fully harness natural light, drawing even more hidden powers into his grasp.

"Amazing." The Archdruid narrowed his eyes, staring at the light gathered a few centimeters above the boy's palm. As a user of natural magic who had sealed the ancient lost objects for a long time, he was very familiar with the power drawn by the light.

Even if you just look at this gathered power, you will feel that every cell in your body is growing faster, as if some kind of pervasive power like water appears out of thin air. It is a powerful vitality that can make stubborn bald patients grow a full head of hair immediately. It is truly amazing.

"It seems that we are very close to the ancient seal." Alvin said in an affirmative tone.

"You are right." The Archdruid nodded and slowly exhaled.

"..." Afrediya stared at the faint light intently, but her expression became very subtle.

Even a transformed true dragon like her, whose bloodline had been purified to the point of attaining the true form of an ancient dragon, felt her own dragon blood factor become more active. No wonder the hybrid dragonborn of the Great Desolate Forest didn't naturally degenerate into a common species through normal iteration. From another perspective, this power might have a beneficial effect on dragons, perhaps improving their reproductive efficiency.

If this were true, things would be more complicated than anticipated. Direct destruction would immediately become a lower priority, but we couldn't tell the Archdruid in front of him that this thing had a connection with dragons, could we? It was even harder to say whether this influence would create new hidden dangers after actual contact with the seal.

With their own thoughts in mind, a faint cold light suddenly emerged from the depths of the tree hole in front of them.

"We're here." The white ape Kakarom patted the car, and the big squirrel Sloppy Tok slowed down and gradually stopped.

The three of them walked out of the wooden sedan and followed the giant squirrel's soft tail to the ground. Outside was a very spacious underground cave, and the faint blue light came from an extremely calm underground lake not far away.

With the help of the cold light emitted from the depths of the lake, you can see that the entire underground cavity is occupied by thick and winding tree roots. From time to time, you can also see mosses and fungi that rely on the cold light to survive, and they also emit a faint glow.

"Let's go, the seal is just ahead." The white ape Kakarom straightened his hunched back, and his body shape, which was no different from that of an ordinary ape, changed naturally. In just one movement, he turned into an energetic old man. He was wearing an ordinary orange-yellow robe, his hair was messy and unkempt, and he looked a little unkempt.

Unlike most elderly people, even though this old man is wearing a loose robe, it is obvious that he has a very strong body. His well-developed chest muscles and straight back form a standard inverted triangle.

In addition, Ivan was surprised to find that Kakarom's body was very tall, almost as tall as his disguised body. He could not imagine how he could get used to the short ape body in his daily life.

"Ahem, formal occasions should be more formal, right?" In contrast to his tall and strong figure, the old druid blinked quickly, revealing the appearance of a familiar old naughty boy.

Ivan was stunned for a moment, and was poked by Frey behind him, then he showed an impolite smile.

"That's true."

Following a thick tree root, the three of them took two steps forward and arrived in front of an ancient stone building.

The overall style of this building is very ancient. It does not use any artificial building materials. It is built purely with huge stones found in nature. The overall appearance seems to be a temple, or a pile of huge stones arranged in a circle in twos and threes.

The pile of boulders is located next to the underground lake, and at this moment there are several ordinary-looking small animals living here.

Among them are brown long-eared rabbits, light gray sea otters, white-headed and black-bodied seabirds, dark green lizards, and two sturgeons quietly blowing bubbles while soaking in the water.
