Scene 38 Time War

But Roman's situation was not as optimistic as Brando imagined, and the atmosphere gradually became tense as time went by. Only then did Brando understand that there must be some secret hidden in the heart of this future business girl—this secret may be subconscious—the deeper it is hidden, the greater the damage at this moment.

For a while, there were only two people's tense breathing in the air, and the merchant lady herself slept peacefully, but Brando was really afraid that she would just sleep like this and never wake up again.

He couldn't help looking at the Golden Demon Tree, the connection between dreams and reality was already quite fragile, and the Golden Demon Tree might wake up at any time.

"Freya?"

Freya clenched her fists and was too nervous to say a word. Brando said that they only have five minutes, and it's not much time, but Roman still seems to be immersed in his nightmare. But she knew that she couldn't blame the young man, because only she knew this secret in Butch.

She only hated herself for not telling Brando in advance, but how did she know that this dream was so complicated. Didn't Brando say nothing because he was afraid of affecting their mood, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating.

But the young man didn't fall into blind panic, his thoughts changed suddenly, and he suddenly threw the thorn of Zhanguang in his hand.

"Let her hold it."

"What?"

"This sword has the power to exorcise evil, let her hold it." Brando said this verbally, but he knew in his heart that the only thing he could rely on was an increase in the willpower level of the elf sword, which could turn the merchant lady into good luck.

Here comes Martha! He couldn't help but pray in his heart to the ubiquitous Supreme One of 'Voende', hoping that she would be more tolerant of Roman. But maybe the sword had an effect, or maybe Brando's prayer was sensed by Martha. It didn't take long for the merchant lady to wake up with a blink of her eyes.

She rubbed her eyes and looked at the two people, froze for a moment, then said happily: "Freya, you are here too. Let me tell you, I had a nightmare just now!"

"Ah!" Freya was stunned, and then seemed to let out a low cry of surprise from her chest. She didn't listen to what the business lady was saying, but hugged Roman and wept with joy. She thought there was no hope, but she didn't expect Brando's method to really work.

"Roman, you idiot!"

"F, Freya, what are you talking about! I'm not an idiot!" Roman seemed to have received a fatal blow, and he hurriedly and earnestly argued.

On the contrary, Brando looked at the business lady who was flustered by Freya who suddenly cried and calmed down. With the help of infused faith and the thorn of Zhanguang, no matter how deep the nightmare is, Roman is very likely to wake up. He was more worried about how she would be affected by it.

But seeing her blank look, Brando knew that he was worrying too much.

"Okay, don't cry." He said: "The golden demon tree will wake up soon, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it after the battle."

The ponytail girl put away her tears and nodded. "What are we going to do, Brando?" she asked.

"We are not the main characters in this battle, there is a stone trypan in this valley—"

"what is that?"

"Roman, don't interrupt! Stone cone insects are elemental creatures from the earth pivot (earth element plane), they are born to be the nemesis of the golden magic tree, but before this stone cone worm becomes an adult, the golden magic tree can still rely on itself Huge root system to block it in the outer valley. Of course, it takes 80 to 120 years for the stone trypanosoma to become an adult, and we can't wait that long, so we have to help it."

"Help it?" Freya asked.

Brando took the elven sword from Roman and replied: "The golden magic tree itself is very weak. Its only means of attack is to use its roots to protrude from the ground to pierce the intruder. So we will force it to do so.

The more roots it pumps out, the less root system it has to defend against stone trypanos, and over time, the stone trypanosomes can enter the valley—"

"But we only have ten minutes. The first batch of withered beasts will flood into the valley after ten minutes at most. If we haven't succeeded in ten minutes, you must run west without hesitation. The secret road is in a valley , very conspicuous."

"What about you?" Roman looked up.

"Leave the final work to the men. This is your ladylike demeanor." Seeing her smooth forehead, Brando couldn't help but tapped it lightly with his hand. He looked at Freya again. The girl was pulling her ponytail back with both hands to facilitate the battle later. He noticed his gaze and nodded at him.

Brando was taken aback, he thought Freya would stay brave again. However, he didn't look at her unwillingly, on the contrary, he was more calm. It seemed that the other party had gained a little in the dream.

The able-bodied Freya seemed to be a future Valkyrie. He couldn't help but smile in relief, then turned around and said, "Roman, put on your ring."

The business lady immediately raised her little hand triumphantly, shaking the black and white ring.

"Your task is to listen to the movement underground, and if you find anything, please let us know immediately."

"Okay, Brando."

"Then let's set off. We will approach the Golden Demon Tree through the stone promontory, and look at the terrain there. There should be a fault below that will allow the Golden Demon Tree to detect our attempt at the latest." Brando said, taking the lead I touched it. He first ran to a protruding rock, then turned around and gestured to Freya and Roman to follow.

Freya grabbed Roman's hand and followed her, her meaning was obvious—be obedient and don't run around, I'll protect you. She did this to keep Brando free from distractions, and to attack the Golden Demon Tree as soon as he seized the opportunity.

The three quickly passed under the rocky promontory that Brando said, his memory did not make a mistake, and they were not disturbed at all before that. But they had just entered the dividing line, and the business lady immediately heard a rumbling sound coming from her feet.

"Brando, there is a voice below."

Our protagonist was startled, and immediately shouted: "Separate, quickly separate."

Freya immediately pushed Roman aside, and the three of them parted ways, and the ground was immediately lifted by two thick vines with a bang. However, the Golden Demon Tree obviously didn't expect that several insects would see through its attack, and when its roots protruded from the ground, what was waiting was Brando's prepared sword.

The young man got up from the ground, raised the elven sword with both hands, and slashed at the center of the vine thick as a bucket. The blade penetrated halfway, and silver flames burst out from the blade. The purifying fire made the vines creak, and the golden demon tree in the center of the valley almost trembled in pain, making the whole valley reverberate.

It was calling for reinforcements again, and Brando's heart sank. As expected, time was already tight. He couldn't help turning his head: Freya over there made a beautiful roll to avoid the sweep of the roots of the golden demon tree, and then slashed on the vine with a sword. Although the sword was only one-third deep, it was beautiful. He couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

This is at least the level of Aruin's military swordsmanship at level 2. It seems that Freya has gained a lot in her dream.

"Brando, there's another voice!" Roman climbed to the edge of the battlefield alone, then turned around and shouted.

"How far?" Brando shouted subconsciously, but he immediately realized his slip of the tongue. He subconsciously regarded Roman as the nightingale in the team, but after all, Miss Merchant just had a sharper sense, not a professional spy in the game.

"One hundred meters, seventy meters." Roman thought for a while.

"So far?" Brando was taken aback, and with a backhand sword, the vines attacking him were thrown away. Only half of the root system lost its vitality and fell down softly, and the fracture was scorched black.

"There are still sixty meters."

Brando hesitated for a moment. Although it was a bit unbelievable, he still decided to believe Roman: "Freya, don't worry about it! Did you see that path, and rush out from there."

Freya was only slightly taken aback, and immediately put the sword on her chest, letting herself deal with the vine and whip herself away. The wind feathers around her lit up one by one to form a light net, protecting her and reducing the impact—the ponytail girl just rolled a few times on the ground and got up again, and she had landed beside Roman.

"Roman, come with me!" Then she grabbed Miss Merchant's hand and rushed in that direction.

"Hey! Where's Brando?"

"He will follow!"

This girl has finally learned to trust her teammates, instead of acting alone. Brando couldn't help but relax for a while. He was really afraid that Freya would be confused with him at this time, but he saw the vines attacking Freya and wanted to catch up. The previous incision split it in two.

After cleaning up the enemies, he didn't dare to stay longer, and even he could clearly hear the underground voices, which showed that Roman's judgment was correct. But he couldn't help being a little shocked. How did that rash girl hear the sound of seventy meters underground?

He estimated that at least there must be 5 levels of perception to have this level.

This thought flashed through Brando's mind, and he turned around and ran away. It was not difficult to catch up with Freya and Roman with his dexterity, but the road between the three was blocked by the root connection of the golden magic tree. At the third time, all three people heard a loud noise from the southeast of the valley, and then all the tree roots that were attacking them at that time retracted all at once.

Even if Brando didn't remind them, Freya and Roman knew that it must be the cone worm that had entered the arena.

"We won?" Roman couldn't help asking in surprise.

Brando shook his head, they had to enter the core area around the golden magic tree. In the following time, the Golden Demon Tree will constantly weigh which side is more threatening to it, and then deploy a huge root system to stop one of them. However, this behavior of tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall will not last, and they will win at one point.

But the only question is whether they will be able to do all this in the allotted time.

There are less than five minutes left.
