Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 69: Familiar Shadow
After receiving this news, Marvin was almost certain that the natural power of the Supreme Jungle was indeed decreasing.
This reduction is disturbing.
He suddenly remembered that in order to kill Di Gaogeng, he had once entered the World Tree.
"Is this why the Migratory Bird Council suspects me?"
Marvin reacted quickly and came to this conclusion immediately.
This is a completely common-sense judgment.
In the eyes of the Migratory Bird Council, Marvin is basically a person who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Apart from him, it seems that no one else can get close to the World Tree recently.
This is a big trouble.
Marvin thought about it and realized that the old tree man’s purpose in looking for him was very clear, which was to confirm whether he was the source of the exhaustion of the natural force.
In that case, he simply stopped hiding and headed straight towards the Emerald City.
Soon, he reached the depths of the shelter.
The forest in the distance became more lush and green, and the trees were extremely tall. White clouds covered the tall treetops, and a city rose from the ground, standing on the top of the sea of clouds!
This is the Emerald City, a city built on trees and sea of clouds!
The great druids live here, guarding the inheritance of the times and Fenan's world tree. According to Marvin's understanding, there are also two guardian dragons sleeping here!
Arriving at the edge of the Emerald City, he directly opened up his own territory!
Shadows, and killing!
In an instant, he felt a pair of eyes focused on him.
That is the gaze from above the sea of clouds.
Marvin smiled.
After releasing his power, he was naturally discovered by his owner in this shelter.
This is exactly the effect Marvin wanted. After all, it is most important to resolve the misunderstanding with the Migratory Bird Council as soon as possible.
…
The atmosphere in the tree house with tangled roots was a bit awkward.
After the initial greetings, several archdruids fell into silence, as if they had fallen asleep.
Only the old tree man, the chairman of the Migratory Bird Council, kept staring at Marvin, as if he had discovered something interesting.
Since Ma Wen had done nothing wrong, he was naturally not afraid of him seeing it.
However, he couldn't explain that he had been to the Supreme Jungle in his previous life and knew the strength of the natural forces here, so he played dumb.
"Dear Mr. Speaker." Marvin cleared his throat and looked at the old tree man: "As you said in your letter, I am here as promised."
"Excuse me, I don't mean to question the judgment of the Migratory Bird Council - but regarding the Endless Ocean, your decision seems a little unreasonable. We all know how terrifying the Dark Phoenix is. If it weren't for the four totem pillars sealing the source of her power, I would have no way of killing her."
At this time, Marvin naturally knew that the Four Totem Pillars were definitely not the focus of the meeting and conversation between the two parties, but he still had to do the superficial work.
Sure enough, after these words were spoken, the embarrassment on the faces of the other druids seemed to become even more intense.
Ma Wen chuckled in his heart.
These druids are too honest and would never tell a lie.
Judging from the way they are, there probably won’t be any trouble in the Endless Ocean.
The so-called penalty result was probably just for me to see. The purpose was to lead me to the Emerald City.
Thinking of this, Marvin couldn't help but smile.
As long as they can prove that they have nothing to do with the decline of natural forces, these druids will definitely feel guilty.
If you want to get some benefits at that time, won’t it be easy with Marvin’s methods?
At this moment, the old tree man finally spoke:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Marvin. There were some errors in our judgment."
"We deceived you before. Endless Ocean was not sentenced to life imprisonment. On the contrary, as a member of the Supreme Jungle, she participated in the extermination of the Dark Phoenix, which was enough to offset her crime of stealing the four totem pillars."
"In fact, we didn't make it difficult for her."
Marvin raised his eyebrows.
He was a little caught off guard by the old fox's honesty.
He apologized right away. Did he realize he suspected the wrong person?
And just with a simple apology you want to excuse yourself from traveling such a long distance to come here to see the scenery?
I'm afraid that's not appropriate?
Marvin's eyes rolled, and he immediately pretended to be angry and said, "Oh? So everything you said in your letter was a lie?"
"I didn't expect that the Migratory Bird Council would deceive others - especially its own allies."
The faces of the great druids became even uglier.
The old tree man sighed slightly, looked at Marvin with some complexity, and finally said slowly:
"This matter is too complicated, and I'm sorry that we have resorted to the worst possible approach."
"If you understand the nature of the incident, you will surely forgive our difficulties."
Ma Wen cursed in his heart, the old fox clearly wanted to cut off ties without any benefits.
But he still acted as if he was listening attentively:
"I would like to hear what the nature of the so-called incident is."
Sky Fury coughed and interrupted, "Marvin, this matter involves the core secrets of the Supreme Jungle. I'm afraid we can't..."
However, the old tree man waved his hand:
"It doesn't matter. We must give Mr. Marvin an explanation."
"Let him know the whole story so that the misunderstanding between us can be resolved ."
Listening to the old tree man's sincere tone, Marvin felt a little uneasy.
Druids have always been old-fashioned and are rarely willing to reveal such important news.
Marvin originally wanted to take away the benefits and leave with Constantine and others, but who knew that this time, he seemed to be involved in the core secrets of the Supreme Jungle.
What exactly is the old tree man planning?
Before Marvin could open his mouth to refuse, the old tree man started talking on his own.
Ma Wen had no choice but to listen.
…
The old tree man's narration was concise and to the point, but the nature of the matter was more serious than Marvin had imagined. No wonder these druids would use methods that were contrary to their style to lure Marvin.
The withering of the world tree.
This is not a trivial matter, but a major event that will affect the entire Fenan!
Even in the games of his previous life, Marvin had no impression of this matter!
It can be seen that this time, it is definitely a huge variable caused by one's own time travel.
After listening to this, Marvin fell into deep thought.
"The World Tree has begun to wither. It must be man-made. The prophecy shows that it is a shadow that is causing trouble. No wonder they suspect me. After all, I just entered the World Tree a few months ago!"
"Could it be that time when someone followed me?"
Thinking of this, Marvin couldn't help but feel a little creepy.
At this moment, he stared at the shadow in the old tree man's hand and suddenly felt that it looked familiar.
It seemed like I had seen him somewhere, but when I thought about it carefully, there was no such person in my memory.
The old tree man's voice came slowly:
"We suspected before that the withering of the world tree might be related to you. After all, as a master of the night, the shadow realm is consistent with prophecy."
"But just now, I saw another aspect of you, and I immediately realized that this matter probably has nothing to do with you."
"The shadow in the prophecy is very evil but pure. He is definitely a master with only one field or priesthood."
"We're sorry for your suspicion."
Suddenly, Marvin shuddered.
He suddenly remembered why that shadow looked so familiar!
