Leo held a dry branch in the room and looked at it for a long time, as if this ordinary-looking dead branch was something rare, so much so that he temporarily put aside the relevant information sent by Barbarissa.

Not in the mood to watch.

This branch was the reward given by the elderly clergyman of the White Deer Church in this world. However, Leo took the branch in his hand and pondered it over and over for a long time, but still could not see the mystery of this branch. If he hadn't been there,

The moment he saw this branch, the stone throne, which was the origin of his soul, began to be touched. Maybe he had already suspected that the old man had randomly found a dead branch to tease him.

Not long ago, when the old man was talking to Leo about the transaction rewards, he said with certainty that he had an item on hand that Leo would definitely be interested in. After that, he went outside and took it from the entourage waiting outside.

He picked up a metal box and returned to Leo's room.

Before seeing the contents of the box, Leo had already been attracted by the metal box used to hold the items. It's not that this metal box is so exquisite and beautiful. According to Leo's knowledge, it is more beautiful than this metal box.

He had seen a hundred times more boxes. What really caught his attention was that he discovered that the so-called metal material of this box was actually bones, and they were the bones of an unknown god.

The reason why Leo is so sure that the metal box is made of the bones of gods is because the moment he touched the metal box, he absorbed an extremely weak breath of gods from the box, and after the breath of gods entered his body,

, forming a divine mark.

And at the moment when the divine mark was formed, Leo discovered that the power of this divine mark was to control the three basic states of metal: solid, liquid and gaseous. From this, it can be seen that the unknown god corresponding to the metal box should be someone who can control

A metal god, and this kind of god is definitely a god of the main god level in any world, but now the bones of this kind of god are made into a metal box to hold things. It's hard not to wonder what's inside the box.

What kind of precious items are worthy of such a high-standard preservation method?

However, when the old man opened the box and took out a dead branch from the box, even though Leo believed that there was something extraordinary about this thing, he was still inevitably disappointed because this dead branch was so ordinary.

It's so ordinary that it looks like it was picked up casually in the woods next to the town.

However, when Leo reached out to take the dead branch and prepared to carefully study its connotation, the disappointment in his heart disappeared instantly, and at the same time, his curiosity about the dead branch also grew rapidly.

The reason why there was such a big change in mentality was because the moment he came into contact with the dead branches, there was some abnormal movement on the stone throne. A vague tree-shaped relief appeared on the backrest of the originally empty stone throne. It was just that

The relief was not fully formed and fell apart the moment his hand let go of the dead branch.

Leo asked the old man about the origin of this dead branch, and the old man told him that this dead branch came from a world of trees that they passed by when they escaped from their own world.

They did not enter that world, but just walked around the edge of the world. Some of them as refugees accidentally broke some branches in the world of the sea of ​​trees, intending to make them into crutches, but those branches quickly withered and faded after leaving the world of the sea of ​​trees.

It was broken into pieces, and only this one was just withered, while the branch itself was still intact.

At that time, the leader among them took this branch and asked Bai Lu. The answer given by Bai Lu was that this dead branch contained a trace of the original aura of the Mother of Trees. It was considered a part of the Mother of Trees and could be called the mother of trees.

It's a divine thing.

After arriving in this world, the survivors settled down and soon discovered that this dead branch could, to a certain extent, promote the rapid maturity of various plants planted.

Because of this, this dead branch is the only valuable treasure that they, the refugees, can have on hand.

As for why they would take out such a precious treasure in exchange for the opportunity for the whole family to move to Theresa's Kingdom, it is mainly because this treasure has little effect on them now, and they no longer lack food.

They are short of money and all they need is a stable home, so exchanging this thing for a stable home land is definitely a good deal for them.

After listening to the old man's explanation, Leo once again deepened his understanding of this group of refugees. In his opinion, this group of people are simply born businessmen. In the face of suitable interests, no matter how sacred treasures, or even those who once dealt with

The treasures they have greatly helped will be traded away without hesitation.

For this group of people who act based on value and naturally advocate equal exchange, Leo feels that it is very suitable to deal with, but it is definitely not suitable for deep friendship, so even if he is very curious about why this group of refugees would leave the Central Government at all costs

The reasons are in the Kingdom area, but I have no intention of finding out.

As a result, after reaching a deal agreement with the old man, he immediately wrote a letter to the president and deputy dean of the academic city and Queen Theresa respectively. The letter explained some things about the refugee group, such as these people

What abilities they have, what they can do, etc., and then clearly express their desire to move to Theresa's Kingdom, and after writing the letter and stamping it with Sylvia's and her own unique badges, they give it directly to the old man.

, ask the old man to send someone to deliver the letter directly.

Although the family relocation has not yet begun, the final result is foreseeable. Leo has completed the transaction and no longer intends to continue to have close relations with these refugee groups to avoid being used as the next trading object.

.

After the old man left, Leo took the dead branches and started studying them. The direction of his research gradually shifted from the changes in the stone throne caused by the dead branches to the dead branches themselves. However, the more he studied, the more confused he became, because he

After testing the dead branch through various methods, it was found that this dead branch was no different from an ordinary dead branch, and even the so-called original aura of the Mother of Trees that caused the changes in the stone throne was never sensed.

Leo knew nothing about the deity Mother of Trees, but he knew that deities like Mother of Trees existed in almost every world, but their names were different, such as Mother of the Forest, etc.

It seemed that this type of deity had become the standard deity in every world, which made him seriously doubt whether deities such as the Mother of Trees would be an extension of the power of the World Tree.

Leo didn't think it was just a coincidence that this dead branch representing the body of the Mother of Trees would be used as a trade item and fell into his hands. Not long ago, he had just been affected by Qunheyi and began to adjust his evolution method. He experienced from strengthening his body to

Various powers began to be transferred to concentrate on strengthening the original power of the Stone Throne.

At this time, Bailu gave an oracle to a group of so-called White Deer believers who were not even believers and who established the church purely out of profit considerations, asking them to deliver a message to Leo. And these believers happened to have a matter of life and death that needed Lei.

Leo helped, and the only thing of value these people could bring out happened to be able to cause changes in the Stone Throne. As this series of connections went down, it seemed that Bai Lu was guiding him behind the scenes, which made Leo couldn't help but wonder what Bai Lu wanted to do.

What to do.

On the one hand, let him not completely believe Qun Heyi's words. On the other hand, because of Qun Heyi's words, he changed the way of evolution and began to work towards the stone throne of the origin of the soul, but Bailu took the initiative to provide help. This kind of contradiction

His behavior is really puzzling.

"Is it because there are not enough research materials, so you want me to go to the world of trees? Maybe this is also your purpose?" After Leo couldn't find any clues from the dead branches, an idea came to mind.

.

Although he could not study anything useful from the dead branches, as long as what the old cleric said was true, then he could use some special rituals to find the world coordinates corresponding to the dead branches, that is, the sea of ​​trees.

As long as he has the coordinate parameters of the world's orientation and the dead branches as a guide, he can open the space rift leading to that world and go to the world of the sea of ​​trees.

After thinking about it again and again, Leo still felt that he had no clue and did not understand Bailu's intention, but he still decided to go to the world of the Sea of ​​Trees after the issue of the crystal mine in the Middle Kingdom was over.

This was done not only to see why the White Deer led him to the world of the Sea of ​​Trees, but also to find more broken branches of the Mother of Trees, thereby finding out the secret that prompted the transformation of the Stone Throne.

After figuring this out, Leo did not continue to cling to the dead branches. Instead, he collected the dead branches and took them out for use when he needed to go to the world of the sea of ​​trees.

After temporarily giving up research on the changes in the Stone Throne, Leo turned his attention to the pile of information sent by Barbarissa.

Although Barbarissa said that the materials sent over were his research materials, in fact, his research materials only accounted for a small part, and most of them were other people's research materials, and the most content in these research materials was

It's about the fallen original god of the Middle Kingdom.

Leo sorted out the information related to the Prime God and put it aside. He looked specifically at the research information of Barbarissa. It is not correct to say that he has research qualifications. These information are more like boring family genealogies with a lot of information.

Personal names and identity information, by connecting these personal information together, can form a huge genealogy tree.

However, all the humans represented by the names on this genealogy tree are information from the Barbarissa matrilineal family, and there is very little content about the paternal lineage. It is only known that the paternal side of the family was originally the priest of the original god. This is also

He secretly sent people to investigate the cause of the Prime God.

The reason why Barbarissa began to pay attention to the reason for his canonization and began to investigate the affairs of his father's family was mainly because of an incident that happened to him after returning to the Middle Kingdom. This incident seemed ordinary to outsiders.

It was a dream in which he kept running in a dark place, and repeatedly said something like the canonization was wrong and he needed to correct it immediately. However, after he woke up, he still had no idea what happened in the dream.

The memory was still fresh, and some strange patterns appeared on both him and his children.

Although the appearance of these patterns did not affect daily life, Barbarissa still felt that these patterns concealed very dangerous things that would kill their family, so a strong sense of crisis drove him to conduct relevant investigations, and found that his father's

Some similar patterns would also appear on the bodies of one line of tribesmen, and after the patterns appeared, these people disappeared. Now, apart from Barbarissa himself, there are only a few tribesmen living in other countries on the paternal side of the tribe.

.

After that, he investigated the missing tribesmen and found that the disappearance of those tribesmen seemed to be related to the True God Church. However, he tried to continue the investigation, but all the clues were destroyed by the church people.

However, he did not gain anything at all. While investigating the clues about the disappearance of his tribe, he also discovered that the patterns on some of the relics of the Prime God were somewhat similar to those on their bodies, and the True God Church held a canonization event for him.

The location was the ruins of a temple known as the place where the original god fell, so he felt that there was something fishy about the canonization, so he investigated secretly.

After reading the information about Barbarissa, Leo also had a clear direction of investigation, and the first stop in this direction was the place where the original god who consecrated Barbarissa died.

After determining the direction of the investigation, Leo looked at other information, which recorded some recent abnormal behaviors of the True God Church, and these abnormal behaviors are inextricably linked to Barbarissa, such as a certain

The True God Church secretly sent people to collect the bones and remains of Barbarissa's ancestors, etc.

From Leo's point of view, this seemed to be preparing for some kind of ritual. Unfortunately, the relevant content was not very sufficient, making it impossible for Leo to judge the origin of this ritual. He could only rely on his vague feelings and feelings.

Related to resurrection.

According to common sense, resurrection can be regarded as a manifestation of the highest miracle in any church. In the world of Velen, every church has its own set of resurrection methods, but their religious resurrection is different from the resurrection that ordinary people understand.

There is a difference.

However, in this world, resurrection is a taboo. It is listed as one of the top three blasphemies by the True God Church. Once discovered, it will be severely punished by the True God Church. And now it seems that the True God Church

Someone is secretly planning some kind of unknown resurrection ceremony. This is obviously an extremely dangerous matter. Once exposed, all the people involved or related to it may be disappeared, just like the people of Barbarissa's father's clan.

.

The information that Leo checked last was the research information about the Prime God. The content of these materials was very detailed, from folklore to incomplete classics. In short, anything related to the Prime God was recorded by them, so that
Chapter completed!
