The villain's goal is to save the heroine

Of course, Lin En is not the only one who is confused. For example, the little loli is gritting her teeth at this moment.

I mean, she clearly wanted to cause trouble for Lin En, so why are these people getting more outrageous than the last? No, you stupid woman! I know how awful you were to Lin En outside, so why are you targeting "us" now? Where's that rebellious and stupid attitude of yours? ! Where's your attitude? ! !

Damn!

What happened in the gap when she was gone?!

has a problem!

There is definitely something wrong with this stinky Lynn!!

I really want to know what happened!!

Damn it!

Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it—

Only Cecilia was a little normal. On the contrary, no emotion could be seen on Sanwu's face. Only her gaze was fixed on Mona, and no one knew what the girl was thinking.

But it doesn’t matter what I think. Anyway, both accidents have been overcome smoothly. Even if there are any questions, can’t I just take a look at the "Villain's Diary" when the time comes?

and…

Since Mona happened to ask this, then next...

"There's something I want to try."

Lynn returned his gaze to the broken lime in his hand.

In the game, when the "Sacred Tree" is completely burned, if the player does not leave immediately but chooses to go back and continue exploring, he can get the last "Sacred Tree Fruit" from the abandoned interior.

Of course, that wasn't a perfect "Sacred Fruit." As the only person to have perished completely within the "Sacred Forest," Augustus became the sacrifice in Cecilia's place, and with the final fire, he left behind the world's last treasure.

However, Lin En felt that it was impossible for Augustus to ripen the "Fruit of the Sacred Tree".

He's just a half-undead, how can there be any room for sacrifice?

He preferred to believe that it was a trace of divinity that the "Sacred Tree" recovered when it was on the verge of death, and it sacrificed itself in exchange for its last gift to the world.

Yes, there may be nothing wrong with the "sacred tree", just like hurting someone with a knife, what's wrong with the knife?

The one who used the knife was wrong.

Yes, unlike in the game, the Sacred Tree wasn't completely dead at this point. Thanks to Lin En's timely intervention, some of the Sacred Tree's essence remained within the boulder.

That’s right, this is actually a bit like plant tissue culture in biology. Given that the “Sacred Tree” has super regenerative abilities, if it can be re-cultivated while it is still active, a new “Sacred Tree” is likely to grow!

Based on this principle, Lin En placed crushed lime on a giant charred branch, added the essence Cecilia had found, retrieved the lake water he had wrapped in silk thread, and then carefully poured it on top...

"呲呲!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the tiny essence reacted rapidly. With that fluorescent essence at its core, several small branches burst forth from the graystone. Then, the power of the "Divine Tree," still remnant within the ravaged area, began to resonate. Countless luminescent green dots lit up the ruins like fireflies, imbuing the entire space with a layer of beautiful color.

"Oh!" Standing under the twinkling stars, the little girl made a surprised sound, "It's so beautiful!"

"And they're more than just beautiful..." Claire caught a fluorescent light. "These tiny dots hold the power of life."

"The magic power is stirring...!" Mona also made a surprised sound.

As for Cecilia...

"Buzz!"

As the air vibrated slightly, Cecilia, who had just achieved a breakthrough a month ago, unexpectedly achieved another breakthrough!

“Ahhhhhh…! You…you bastard…!” Eunice was instantly shocked and screamed.

But this is not surprising. In fact, Lin En has the ability to help others break through. After fighting for more than an hour, and with the help of the "Ice Heart Pendant", the magic power in Cecilia's body has long been filled to a certain level. With another stimulation, she will break through!

"The new 'Sacred Tree' can't bear so much power..." Lin En also caught one upon seeing this, but his eyes turned to the little Loli, "Eunice, if you still can't break through, then you'll really become a small fry in the Demonic Path..."

"Ha! How dare Lin En look down on me... Humph! No one, please leave me alone. I'm going into seclusion now!"

"Oh, come on."

Chapter 199 Leaving the Sacred Tree Forest

It was two days later that Lin En and the others prepared to leave the "Forest of the Sacred Tree".

The old "sacred tree" was made too fat by the sacrificial ceremony, and the new "sacred tree" was born from the ruins. When the overflowing nutrients cannot be absorbed by the small "sacred tree", it is better to use them to nourish the human body instead of wasting them!

In two days, Eunice and Claire both gained huge benefits and broke through their original levels!

"Hmph! What a trash! I'll tell you what I'm doing. It's just a 50-level breakthrough. As long as I'm willing, it's a simple and easy thing. Apologize to me! How dare you question my strength! And call me a magic trash...! Apologize! Apologize to me now!!" The little Lolita was so proud of herself that she went to Lin En and shouted at him as soon as she broke through.

Apparently, the little girl had also noted in her little notebook the fact that she had been consigned to the "demon path trash" category a month prior. Therefore, after her breakthrough, she immediately came to challenge him, hoping to avenge her previous humiliation and raise her head in pride.

However, Lin En also did not forget the other party's deliberate provocation. He always remembered the fact that Cecilia and Mona were provoked and made him scared!

In addition, since the Ice Heart Pendant was not on him, Lin En's tolerance was significantly reduced. Facing Eunice's arrogant and insolent attitude, Lin En directly counterattacked -

"Apologize, huh?! Trash, huh?! Breakthrough, huh?! I let you get ahead of me! I let you get ahead of me! I let you meddle in other people's business!! Are you still going to apologize? Huh? Are you still going to apologize?!"

Ansai waist drum, start!

Every time Lin En said something, he would slap the little Loli on the butt. The good touch and the crisp slapping sound immediately made her feel relaxed and refreshed!

Without the "Ice Heart Pendant", Lin En discovered that beating up the little Lolita was such a stress-relieving thing, it was simply... simply addictive!

but…

“Uwaa ...

The little Loli, as always, refused to admit defeat. It was hard to say whether the other party was used to it or Lin En's technique was clever. In short, this trick did not have much effect on the little Loli.

However, facing the little girl's threat, Lin En remained calm and composed: "Haha, if you want to scream, then go ahead! Anyway, no one will pay attention to you even if you scream your throat out. Or, do you want others to see you getting spanked?"

Because he had nothing to do and was in a good mood, Lin En thought that now was the time to educate the little female ghost!

"you…!"

The little girl was so angry when she heard this:

"I'm warning you, if you dare to touch me again, I'll destroy you and you together today!"

"Wow——" Lynn made a long, drawn-out sound.

I don’t know why, although the other party seemed to be really angry, but when I heard the little loli’s angry voice, Lin En felt relaxed all over, and his mood was so good!

"How dare you threaten me? Haha, what's wrong with me touching you? Hey! I'm not just going to touch you once, I'm going to touch you twice! What's wrong? Do you have any solution?"

While talking, Lin En didn't even move twice. The third time, it was neither light nor heavy, and landed squarely on the little Loli's buttocks. The feeling was really good, and the mood was even more refreshed. It is a must-have for home and travel!

"You...! You forced me to do this!"

Eunice is someone who cannot stand provocation, and now Lin En has visited her three times in a row. How can she tolerate this?

"Oh, so what if I forced you to do that?"

Lin En was in a good mood and was quite interested in hearing what the other party was going to say...

"Yeah~~~"

An enchanting voice came out from the little Loli's throat, sticky and charming, drilling straight into people's hearts!

Yes, although the little Loli looks pale, young and thin like she is fourteen or fifteen years old, she is actually an adult in nature. Moreover, as a knowledgeable genius in magic, she knows everything she should and shouldn’t know. Her inner self is not as pure and innocent as she looks!

Lin En hadn't expected the other party to do this at all, and his expression was a little stunned. "Wait, you said you were going to scream... like this? Can you..."

However, before he could finish his words, Cecilia, Mona, and Claire appeared beside him with different expressions.

What's going on? Is the reaction too quick?

and…

If things are really as you think, wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to just barge in like this?

He wanted to say it was a misunderstanding, but the little girl shook her hips and called out in a coquettish tone:

"Come on! Come again!"

The corner of Lin En's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he threw the little Lolita out with a "bang", causing the little Lolita to let out a grimace of "ouch".

"Tsk! Ignore that brat...! Well, now that Eunice has successfully broken through, it's almost time to pack up and leave. We've been gone for nearly three days, and if we don't get out, there's bound to be trouble! Okay, let's go!"

After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for anyone to react.

It’s strange. Even if something really happened, it has nothing to do with Cecilia and the others, but why does he feel so guilty?

Ice Heart Pendant...

Oh, life is so hard without the Ice Heart Pendant!

However, the good news is that Lin En has now firmly taken control of the "Forest of Sacred Trees"...

a part of.

Since the new "sacred tree" is still in its infancy, the result is that some new branches have sprouted on the old tree. It is impossible to completely inherit the mantle of the old "sacred tree" and it can only develop slowly step by step.

What Lin En currently owns is just this small area in the middle that is less than 20 square meters.

Yes, according to the "Villain's Diary," Lin En has become the new "keeper" of the "Sacred Tree." However, unlike the deceased Augustus, his relationship with the new "Sacred Tree" is fundamentally different. As the one who planted the seeds of the "Sacred Tree," he is now more of a "keeper" than a "keeper."

He possessed greater authority over the "Forest of the Sacred Trees" and had also gained some of the power of the "Sacred Trees." He had taken advantage of the other party's youth and incomprehension to sign some unequal agreements...

In short, he is now leaving the area where he no longer needs to return. In this small area, Lin En can open the door to the "Forest of the Sacred Tree" at any time!

"gone back."

Lin En stretched out his hand, blurring the line between the "Forest of Sacred Trees" and reality. He took two steps forward and disappeared from this desolate land...

Chapter 200 Strange disease?

Lin En and others returned to Siena from the "Forest of the Sacred Tree". The street was still the same street, the location was still the same location, and the exit point did not change because of the different areas they left.

Yes, as an alien space, the location where the "Forest of the Sacred Trees" intersects with reality is anchored in advance. No matter where you leave the "Forest of the Sacred Trees", you will eventually return to the original anchored location and cannot change. This is also the limitation of the alien space.

You can travel through space, but you can't change your anchor point. And unless space returns to peace, the "door" will never close, and there's a possibility of being tracked.

This is also the reason why Augustus could not escape directly even though he trapped Cecilia.

As long as Cecilia, the alien space factor, has the ability to disturb space, the anchor point will always exist on this street. Only after the "Sacred Tree" has devoured Cecilia and the space has returned to calm, can Augustus take the "Sacred Tree" space away from this area.

And the recovery time is close to 12 hours.

For example, they are now returning to Siena from the "Forest of the Sacred Trees". Although the "Forest of the Sacred Trees" is peaceful, since they disturbed the peace of the space again when they passed through, Lin En must wait until 12 hours later if he wants to reset the anchor.

In short, the alien space was magical, but not flexible. And most importantly, people from the original world couldn't stay in the alien space for long periods of time. Two or three days was fine, but if it expanded to twenty or thirty days, there was a 99% chance that they would be "swallowed" by the alien space itself.

This is what is meant by "acclimatization".

"Uh-huh-!"

When everyone returned home from the unfamiliar space, the lively little girl was the first to express her heartfelt emotion:

"This place is definitely better. I don't want to go back to that crappy place anymore!"

This was everyone's sentiment. After all, the Sacred Forest was a space devoid of magical energy. For humans raised in the normal world, simply stepping from the real world into the Sacred Forest would be fine, like a frog being boiled in warm water—not a significant sensation. But if one, accustomed to the Sacred Forest, were to step out into the real world, the difference in environment would become stark, like a fish returning to the water from shore. The feeling was truly agonizing.

"Indeed, I haven't seen the sun for a long time." Claire also sighed sincerely.

When they first arrived at the "Forest of Sacred Trees", hundreds of thousands of "Screaming Trees" occupied the main area, and a gray mist shrouded the space, making visibility at night less than three meters!

Even though Cecilia had burned most of the horror trees, some still managed to escape, creating a hazy atmosphere. And a polluted environment wouldn't improve simply because the pollution source was gone, so it remained gloomy and dark, without sunlight.

It does feel good to see the sun again.

嗏

"Oh!! Captain Mona! Thank God, you are finally back!!"

They had just breathed a sigh of relief and had not even had time to stretch when a troublesome voice coincidentally sounded beside them.

When everyone turned around, they found that the person who spoke was the former highest-ranking official of the garrison, Hermann!

A middle-aged man in his forties who once served in the "Knights of the Stigmata"...

Oh!

So that's how it is. No wonder Mona had such a bad attitude towards this guy before. A person from "Stigmata" and a person from "Black Blade", it would be a miracle if their attitudes were good!

When Mona saw the newcomer, she frowned as usual: "What happened?"

Apparently, one of the worst things about this world is that, although Mona is already useless, the Siena guards who spend their days eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring are even more useless!
