Sylvia looked at the girl lying next to the fire, listened to the other person's warnings and thoughts, and continued to become familiar with her newly acquired abilities.

During the period of crossing the Petain Mountains, while Sylvia was training her control, she was also training some power-using skills taught by the mysterious being on the top of Mount Truber. These skills were all from the upper-class races of the abyss.

It’s a basic skill that she should have mastered a long time ago, but her situation is special and she didn’t know it until now.

For example, the peeping ability she is using on this girl is a technique often used by the superior races of the abyss to spy on people's hearts. This technique is also the most practical technique of the abyss race. Only by spying on people's thoughts can they deceive people, and most importantly

What's more, the derivative ability of this skill is an ability called All Words. Once you master this ability, you no longer need language. You can directly transmit ideas and communicate opinions through the spirit, even with some plants that are considered incommunicable.

And lower creatures can also communicate and even control.

After Sylvia learned about the technique that could only be used by the abyssal race, she immediately made it the first technique to master and focused on training. In just a few days, she could already use it initially, and the effect was pretty good.

At least everything that this woman is thinking about after she wakes up can be easily spied on by her.

As for this girl, after she woke up, she immediately judged from some of the clothing characteristics of herself and Leo that she was not from the Principality of Russ, and then inferred that she was from the Ot Federation, and thought that the two of them might be spies, and

He was also preparing to find opportunities to fight back and a series of thoughts and actions. Sylvia quite appreciated this, because even people who have undergone strict training may not be able to do it. After waking up from a deep coma,

Make correct judgments about the current situation immediately.

In fact, Sylvia had no intention of saving the girl just now. In her opinion, it was enough to stop the crazy Jerry rats from eating the girl through her magic dragon breath. There was no need to take the girl to the bonfire.

Bian Lai wanted to find a burden for him to travel later, but Leo seemed to have some idea about the girl and took the girl to the campfire. He also poured two bottles of wizard potion into her to restore various injuries to the girl's body.

Sylvia didn't think Leo's behavior was just out of good intentions. She thought there were other reasons, so she waited for Leo to explain. However, after Leo poured two bottles of wizard potion into the girl, he fell into the depths again.

In deep thought, even if I talked to him, I would not get any useful answers, only a vague response.

Sylvia is already used to this, because Leo has been in this state since he left the top of Mount Trubo. At first, she thought it was the mysterious being on Mount Trubo who had done something to the holy contract.

The two of them not only forgot each other's identity and origin, but also forgot more important things. However, she repeatedly checked her and Leo's bodies but found no problems, and Leo was awake when he was awake.

, also said that her recent deep meditation was to figure out some issues so that she would not have to worry.

Although Leo had already stated that he had no problems, and it was indeed as he said during the subsequent journey, Sylvia always felt that Leo had changed. This change was not physical, but more of a physical change.

The change in mentality is like having something more to worry about.

Sylvia didn't ask any more questions. She felt that if Leo wanted to tell him, he would tell her naturally. There was no need to ask more. All she had to do was take the two of them through the Petain Mountains as planned.

, go to the Holy Lord Kingdom of Purifying Fire on the other side to take a train on the Continental Railway, and then go to the largest port city in the New World to take a ship to the Old World.

For the two demigods, crossing the Petain Mountains was not a difficult task. Except for the blizzards that appeared all year round in the snowy mountains, which caused them a little trouble, they never encountered any obstacles.

However, when they crossed the Petain Mountains and arrived at a primeval forest on the other side of the territory of the Papal State of Russ, they encountered a strange phenomenon that they had read about in a book before, the Rat Tide of Russ.

Because they are only separated by a mountain range, when the Russ Rat Tide plague broke out, the Ott Federation also paid special attention to this matter. Publishing houses and newspapers in the Federation even took advantage of the popularity and published a lot of books.

Published newspapers and books with relevant content, so the information Leo and Sylvia saw was quite complete.

Although the Russ Rat Tide has not broken out for a long time, after reading the relevant records, Leo and Sylvia both believed that it would only be a matter of time before the Russ Rat Tide breaks out again.

The reason why they made such a judgment is entirely because the Rusian Principality has always had an ambiguous attitude towards the Jerry rat that caused the rat tide, although they knew the harm of the rat tide and had set up a hunting season specifically for hunting and killing it.

Jerry Rat, but they also attach great importance to the various values ​​​​of Jerry Rat. The entire Ruth Religion

Nearly 80% of the principality's national income comes from various products derived from Jerry Rats, so in order to allow Jerry Rats to survive better, they even removed Jerry Rats' only natural enemy in that area, a kind of rat eagle.

The birds of prey were driven away and killed, leaving the jerry rats without any natural enemies in that area and allowed them to multiply freely.

Although a large number of jerry rats are killed every year in the hunting season of the Principality of Russ, there are never accurate statistics on the number of jerry rats killed and the reproduction number of jerry rats themselves, so it is very possible that jerry rats

The actual number far exceeds the number announced by the Rusian Principality.

This is like a time bomb buried deep underground. Normally no one will notice it, or even step on it. But once it is detonated, it will be a disaster for the people around you.

A huge disaster.

What's interesting is that when Leo and Sylvia entered the territory of the Russ Cult Principality, they casually mentioned the Russ Rat Tide, but they didn't expect that a rat tide actually broke out in front of them, which made Xi

Sylvia almost wondered if they were on the top of Mount Trub, and were inspired by that mysterious being to have some strange ability such as the word of God.

Although the Ruth Rat Tide is very terrifying and a disaster for any country and ordinary people, for Leo and Sylvia, these crazy Jerry Rats are no threat at all.

Sylvia's slight leak of the dragon's breath has already made these jerry rats get rid of their crazy emotions and return to their timid nature.

The anomalies of these Jerry rats also aroused Leo's curiosity, which made him temporarily break away from his state of contemplation. He caught a few Jerry rats and studied why these special rats, which are timid in nature, became so crazy.

As a result, he accidentally discovered some interesting things. He discovered that the reason that caused Jerry Rat to go crazy and form a rat tide was not just because of scarcity of food, huge population, and the spread of hunger in the rat colony as those researchers said.

, eventually causing the rats to go crazy for food, and a rat tide broke out.

The real reason seems to be that this Jerry rat, which only grows in this area, has a hive consciousness similar to a community of life. Although this hive consciousness is still very weak, and can even be said to be incomplete, its essence is the same as those of those who live in it.

There is no difference in the hive consciousness of the community of life.

The bigger problem with Jerry Mouse is that this hive consciousness does not have a core of consciousness, which means that there is no control system to adjust the strength of the hive consciousness. This directly leads to the fact that all the hive consciousness are connected together.

Jerry rats all suffer from the same mental turmoil, and one or two Jerry rats simply

Single thinking does not cause mental problems, but hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of simple thoughts gathered together are enough to form a mental shock. That is, because of this constant mental shock,

This caused all the Jerry rats to fall into frenzy, eventually leading to the emergence of a rat tide.

Although Leo is not a kind person, if he can solve a human disaster without affecting his schedule, he will not hesitate to take action. But the problem is that this unprecedented hive consciousness makes

He had no idea where to start.

Under normal circumstances, he could directly destroy the core of the hive consciousness and eliminate the rat tide. But the problem is that the Jerry Rat's hive consciousness does not have a core. Eliminating one or two Jerry Rats is of no use at all.

, unless you kill all the jerry rats.

In the end, Leo could only choose to be a bystander and try his best to help when passing by the rat tide-stricken area. However, what he didn't expect was that something that would keep him occupied soon appeared. After they set up camp, it happened to be

Met a girl from the Rusian Principality who was being hunted by a tide of rats.

Originally, Leo and Sylvia had the same idea, to disperse the rats and save the girl, but then the girl's abnormal reaction at the moment of coma made him interested, so he moved the girl to the campfire.

, fed two bottles of medicine, and checked his body again, he found that his guess was correct, which also made him think about what to do next.

Sylvia didn't know what Leo was thinking about at the moment, how to deal with the girl who had just been rescued. She just noticed that Leo didn't think about it for long this time, and he recovered quickly.

"Have you figured it out?" Sylvia couldn't help her curiosity and asked while passing over the freshly baked food.

"What do you want to understand?" Leo was stunned and asked in confusion.

Sylvia also wondered: "Is this what you were thinking about after leaving the top of Mount Trubo?"

"I'm not thinking about anything, I'm just sorting out..." Leo got stuck mid-sentence, then frowned and asked, "Do you still remember the appearance of the mysterious being on the top of Mount Trubo?

Origin and other relevant information?”

"I don't remember!" Sylvia couldn't help but smile when she saw that Leo had just noticed the abnormality now, and said: "You forgot, we have a contract with that unknown existence. As long as we leave the top of Mount Trubo, we will

Forget what that mysterious being is."

"I didn't expect the power of this contract to be so strong, actually..." Just when Leo was about to sigh, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then an inexplicable smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Although the power of the contract is very strong, it's a pity that

But there are loopholes.”

"Is there a loophole?" Sylvia was stunned.

"See for yourself," Leo reached out and tapped Sylvia's forehead, passing on a piece of information retrieved from the database.

I saw that this information recorded in detail all the processes before and after Leo and Sylvia climbed the mountain, including the people and things they encountered, including what happened on the top of Mount Trubo, and it was also mentioned in this part

Elder Kalita and images associated with it.

After Sylvia saw these things, the power of the Kalita Demon Sacred Pact did not strike again to erase this part of the memory. She was also a little surprised and asked: "What's going on? Why do you still remember these things?"

?”

Leo explained: "It's very simple. The Kalita Demon Sacred Contract mentions the elimination of memories related to him, but the problem is that the information that I have stored in the database is not counted as my memory. It can be seen that the card is stuck.

The execution of the Rita Demon Sacred Contract needs to be based on the executor's own knowledge. If the person has a different understanding of something mentioned in the contract, then there will be loopholes in the execution of the contract."

"Didn't he discover such a big loophole?" Sylvia asked.

"Didn't you say that he is an alien from the Kalita Demon Clan?" Leo smiled and said, "I don't think he has signed holy contracts with many people."

Hearing this, Sylvia couldn't help laughing. Although this explanation sounds absurd, it is not impossible if you think about it carefully.

After laughing, Leo took a bite of the barbecue in his hand and continued: "I have been sorting out the knowledge given to me by Kalita Demon these days. Although there is not what I want most, but the knowledge about World Tree

Knowledge is also very precious, but it is too messy, and I don’t know if He has buried any traps in it. If you don’t sort it out clearly and just follow the knowledge, problems may arise.”

Sylvia nodded in agreement and asked curiously: "Is the knowledge you want the knowledge of the Supreme Council of the Universe at the top of the World Tree?"

"Yeah!" Leo nodded.

Sylvia encouraged: "If we master the method of safely passing through the foggy area of ​​​​the branches, we may be able to reach the top of the tree. Then you will be able to see the situation of the Supreme Parliament of the Universe with your own eyes."

"Hopefully!" Leo didn't seem to have much hope.

After eating the last bit of barbecue in his palm, Leo wiped his hands, walked to the little girl, lifted her up from the ground, sat down next to an fallen wooden pile, and then checked her body again,

Then he asked in the local dialect of Rus: "What is your name?"

"My name is Pennistan." Pennistan knew that she had no ability to resist now, so she could only answer honestly.
