Chapter 3858: Origin Stone

After hearing the concept for the Dawn Great Shield, Reid slapped his thigh and said, "What kind of bizarre idea is this? The best way to use these 12 'Dawn Fragments' is to glue them into a stool. I reckon it would last until the next epoch without any issues."

Reid gulped down a mouthful of beer. By his standards, even if one really wanted to forge a "Dawn Great Shield," they would first have to find a way to dissolve the materials; that alone was a bottleneck. As for gluing them together, even if Reid were to strike down the concept of the "Dawn Great Shield," he wouldn't manufacture such a shield for an old friend to use in a life-or-death battle.

"To forge the Dawn Great Shield you speak of, you must at least solve the problem of material dissolution."

"Impossible. This is the outer defensive layer of the Dawn Paradise."

"So, with only these fragments, it's impossible to forge a Dawn Great Shield. You can't just glue them together to form a great shield."

Reid finished the beer in his mug, shaking his head while savoring the malt ale.

"Correct, just glue them together."

"Absolutely not. Gluing is far too unstable compared to casting. If, by any chance..."

Before Reid could finish his sentence, Su Xiao said, "Use the living armor forged by the Molten Giant to aggregate these 12 Dawn Fragments."

"Even the Molten Giant wouldn't... Hmm? If it's living armor forged by the Molten Giant, hmm~, this actually... might really work. As long as the great shield isn't shattered by a single enemy strike, the living armor aggregating them will self-repair. Yes, this concept is good. But you'll have to go find the Molten Giant; I can't forge living armor. Why did you come to me?"

"To take you to see how living armor is forged."

Hearing this from Su Xiao, Reid felt a surge of emotion in his heart. His only thought was: You dog-thief, you're finally acting like a human for once, always bringing those two things for me to repair.

However, the emotion and surge in Reid's heart came to an abrupt halt after Su Xiao's next sentence.

"After observing the Molten Giant's living armor forging, perhaps you can also imbue the Night of the Wild Hunt with this characteristic."

"Damn it, I'm not going. Absolutely not going."

Reid's beard was almost standing on end. He gulped down a few mouthfuls of beer poured by his foster daughter, Wang Wang, his face seemingly wearing a mask of pain again.

"It's also no problem to have the Molten Giant teach you some secret techniques for forging living armor."

Su Xiao spoke calmly. Upon hearing this, Reid calmly finished the beer in his mug, stood up, and said, "It's getting late. Let's set off. The sooner we go, the sooner we return."

Regarding the matter of letting Reid master some secret techniques for forging living armor, Su Xiao was, of course, not boasting. First, the Law-Elimination Faction and the Molten Giant were allies. Previously, when he went to the "Tower of the Watcher," the Molten Giant was trapped there. The Molten Giant was indeed an ancient existence, but if it remained trapped in the "Tower of the Watcher," it might have slept forever in its slumber.

Another point was that the Molten Giant did not want to join any faction. Looking at the three legendary blacksmiths, the Demon Blacksmith was powerful and no one dared to provoke him; the Dwarf King was between the Sea Race and the Beast Race, and until recently, was in a state of semi-house arrest by the Sea Race.

As the top blacksmith for armor, did no one in the Void Myriad Worlds covet the Molten Giant's skills? Of course not, they just didn't dare to make a move. The Molten Giant was in the Gray Sanctuary of the Eternal Light World. If any faction attempted to kidnap or threaten the Molten Giant there, they should consider the Demon Zerg in the Eternal Light World.

Crack, crack, crack~

Crystals spread across the ground, and the Law-Elimination Teleportation Array was formed. Seeing this, Reid's eyes widened in surprise, and he said, "This teleportation array diagram of yours looks very high-tier."

"It's alright."

"Is it stable?"

"Very stable."

"That's good, let's set off... Wait!"

As the Law-Elimination Teleportation Array activated, Reid's eyes gradually widened, and wrinkles formed in some places on his face.

Boom!!

The teleportation array activated. Wang Wang, who was sitting on a small stool nearby eating ice cream brought by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, let out an "iya" sound, and the large portion of ice cream almost slapped onto her face.

Eternal Light World, on the wasteland covered with grass and wildflowers in front of the Gray Sanctuary, Reid bowed and held onto the trunk of a red-leaf tree with one hand, letting out a series of "Dragon Roars" from his mouth.

A moment later, Reid held the tree and asked, "You call this kind of teleportation array stable?"

"It has never been successfully intercepted by the enemy."

"This..."

Reid was speechless for a moment. As he turned to walk toward the Gray Sanctuary, he said, "Even a dog wouldn't ride this teleportation array of yours."

"Wang?"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was chasing a butterfly, stopped and tilted its head in confusion. What did this have to do with it?

Just as they walked into the Gray Sanctuary, they heard the "dang-dang" sound of blacksmithing coming from the forging workshop on the side. The Dark Lady was not there; she should still be traveling. Suo Ensi was also not there; recently, he often took his disciple, You Sha, to the "Wet Salt Area" for training.

For Su Xiao, the Dark Lady, and Suo Ensi, the current "Wet Salt Area" was no longer dangerous, but for You Sha's strength tier, the "Wet Salt Area" could be described as eerie and dangerous. The dark creatures, nightmares, and scarlet power there were all very dangerous.

Passing by the withered Tree Clan, Su Xiao saw many small flowers placed on the steps, and small flowers were also tucked between the withered branches of the Tree Clan. The outline of the face on the trunk had been wiped very clean, which showed that the character of Suo Ensi's disciple, You Sha, was still quite good, even though she was a bit wild at heart and always thought about traveling and adventuring in the Myriad Worlds with the Dark Lady.

Passing by the stone table, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was following Su Xiao, placed a dozen bottles of elemental fine wine on the table. Suo Ensi's only hobby was fine wine.

When walking into the forging workshop, the Molten Giant was hammering a piece of deep red blank material. This material was not simple; even from several meters away, it gave one a sense of oppression from the soul. On a workbench nearby, several Eternal-grade gems were placed.

The Molten Giant was forging a crown for a lady. As for who it was, it was Lady Spider of the Soul Library.

The opportunity for Su Xiao to know about this was quite interesting. Lady Spider and the Molten Giant were old friends, and both rose to prominence in the same era.

Lady Spider could not leave the Soul Library. She had a small sprite who cleaned the library go to the top floor to find the top-floor acting administrator, the sprite Boboli.

Among the sprites in the library, Boboli was definitely a big shot, but facing Lady Spider's summons, the sprite Boboli could only hurry out of the top floor of the library to meet this supreme powerhouse.

Lady Spider handed a large box of materials to the sprite Boboli, asking him to find a way to deliver these materials to the Molten Giant. This troubled the sprite Boboli. Although he knew that the Eternal Light World was already the territory of his big-shot friend, the Law-Eliminator Bai Ye, he still didn't dare to go there. Any insect, bird, or beast there could treat him as dinner.

The sprite Boboli originally wanted to contact Su Xiao, but the problem was that Su Xiao was in the Witch World at that time. After thinking about it, the sprite Boboli could only contact his third brother, the irritable sprite Diagu.

After Diagu arrived, he mocked his second brother, but even so, he took the large box of materials and headed to the Eternal Light World.

The irritable sprite Diagu didn't care whether this was Lady Spider's secret. Although Diagu was foul-mouthed and unruly, he knew his place. He then passed this information to Su Xiao through intelligence channels.

Regarding this matter, Su Xiao acted as if he didn't know. One didn't need to think to know Lady Spider's purpose. Before she was locked in the Soul Library, she was a famous poisonous beauty in the Myriad Worlds. To put it this way, if she hadn't been trapped in the Soul Library, the ultimate boss Su Xiao would have had to deal with when he went to the Eternal Light World before wouldn't have been just the Scarlet Monarch; the ultimate boss would have also included Lady Spider.

If Lady Spider really escaped, which side would be the first to suffer? The answer must be the Wind Sea Continent.

Many people outside believed that both the Sea Race and the Beast Race respected Lady Spider. In the past, whenever there was a major event in the Wind Sea Continent, Lady Spider made the decisions. In fact, this was not the case. The Sea Race and the Beast Race indeed showed respect to Lady Spider on the surface. When Lady Spider was still in the Wind Sea Continent, her relationship with the Sea Race and the Beast Race was actually not very good.

The reason was the protracted war between the Sea Race and the Beast Race, which forced Lady Spider, who was repeatedly drawn into it, to be restless long ago. At first, Lady Spider suppressed her temper and tried to find ways to quell the disputes between the two sides, but the contradictions between the Sea Race and the Beast Race could no longer be summarized by just resources, hatred, and other issues.

In order to resist the Abyss, the ancestors of the Sea Race and the Beast Race both absorbed Abyss energy, evolving extremely powerful fertility. It was common for the Beast Race to give birth to a dozen or so at a time, and the Sea Race was even more exaggerated, with oviparous types producing tens of thousands of eggs at once, with a survival rate of over 95% in harsh environments.

The Sea Race and the Beast Race had two choices: war with each other, or internal strife. War with each other could barely maintain the dignity of a top faction in the Transcendent World. If both sides engaged in internal strife, the situation in the Wind Sea Continent would be even worse.

Lady Spider was very annoyed at that time. She was a supreme powerhouse who ascended in the Wind Sea Continent. To take the step beyond the ultimate, she could only stay in the Wind Sea Continent and wait for the opportunity. This was a gift from the native world to her. The problem was, for Lady Spider, who was in the native world and whose perception was almost connected to the world, the war between the Sea Race and the Beast Race was like two neighbors smashing walls and renovating.

This made Lady Spider, who was in slumber and cultivation, so annoyed that she almost woke up, causing her years of accumulation to be wasted.

Both upstairs and downstairs were neighbors renovating. If it were ten days or half a month, she could endure it, but after this renovation lasted for thousands of years, Lady Spider became completely irritable.

After Lady Spider became irritable, both the Sea Race and the Beast Race were numb. This person was indeed the pride of the Wind Sea Continent, but when Lady Spider looked at the Sea Race and the Beast Race with murderous intent, it was a different matter.

Both the Sea Race and the Beast Race could not stop the disputes due to the bloodline curses left by their ancestors resisting the Abyss. After the contemporary Sea King and Beast King secretly discussed, they decided to plot against Lady Spider.

The Sea Race and the Beast Race were not afraid of other supreme powerhouses, but they must be afraid of Lady Spider. Theoretically, Lady Spider's soul poison could shroud the entire Wind Sea Continent for several years.

This was why Lady Spider was imprisoned in the Soul Library, reading various ancient books and drinking afternoon tea every day, looking dignified, comfortable, and elegant, as if she had smoothed out her temper and no longer cared about past grievances.

When Lady Spider was 10 years old, because a bully from the Hao Ya Clan in the town beat her younger brother, she quietly waited for a week in the sewer directly below the residence of that group of bullies. Finally, when the dozen or so bullies in that residence all left, she quietly sneaked in and used her spider poison to poison all of them to death.

Protecting her own and being vengeful were the styles Lady Spider maintained even after reaching the top tier of supreme powerhouses. Being backstabbed by the Sea Race and the Beast Race like this, she actually chose to forgive? There was only one possibility: she was pretending to have goodwill toward the Wind Sea Continent, just waiting for the day she escaped.

Thinking about it now, the Wind Sea Continent hadn't produced any top-tier powerhouses for so many years. Besides the war between the Sea Race and the Beast Race leading to a high probability of death for powerhouses, was it also because after the Wind Sea Continent once produced a top-tier supreme powerhouse who was prepared to kill the Sea Race and the Beast Race, the Sea Race and the Beast Race had been guarding against such powerhouses appearing again for so many years?

Thinking about it this way, the situation in the subsequent three transcendent worlds will surely be spectacular: the Witch World has lost its backbone, the Moon Witch Cecily; the Underworld God and Night Mother of the Meteor Star are about to go to war; and the Wind Sea Continent is about to face the revenge of Lady Spider.

Such excitement is something Su Xiao does not intend to miss, but to participate in it, he must at least ascend to the Supreme level; therefore, finding a way to head to "Blazing Sun Star: Kiliad" in the next world is of vital importance.

What Su Xiao lacks to ascend to the Supreme level is the resource foundation accumulated over time; within the Forbidden Tower where the White Dragon Lady is imprisoned, there lies the entire legacy left by the Ancient Dragon faction and the Sun faction, which can immediately provide him with the top-tier foundation to ascend to the Supreme level.

The problem is, he already has one of the two keys to open the Forbidden Tower, the "Ancient Dragon Relic Key," while the remaining key, the "Sun Holy Emblem," is still on "Blazing Sun Star: Kiliad."

Su Xiao estimates that the level of danger on "Blazing Sun Star: Kiliad" is not necessarily lower than that of the Eternal Light World. The reason is that although the Eternal Light World is teeming with Tier 9s, where Absolute Supremes are everywhere and only Supremes can hold their own, after Su Xiao arrived in the Eternal Light World, he activated the "Super-World-Class Sealing Technique," temporarily limiting the peak combat power of the Eternal Light World to the top of the Absolute Supreme level.

"Blazing Sun Star: Kiliad" does not have a "Super-World-Class Sealing Technique," and as a world of the Sun faction, when the blazing sun no longer brings warmth and vitality, what remains is scorching heat, aberration, distortion, and fiery treachery.

Under such circumstances, if Amu can hold the "Dawn Great Shield," the danger Su Xiao's team will face will decrease by at least 20% to 30%.

The Molten Giant placed the large crucible into the furnace before looking toward Su Xiao, a rare smile appearing on his bark-like, rough old face.

"..."

Su Xiao tossed a wooden wine barrel to the Molten Giant; the large barrel looked like a large wooden wine cup in the Molten Giant's hands. He opened the seal and gulped down several large mouthfuls. Having been forging near the scorching furnace for over half a month, now with a large gulp of the water-elemental fine brew in his belly, the Molten Giant let out a huge yawn. When this ancient existence felt physically and mentally relaxed, he loved to take a nap, and one nap could potentially last for a hundred years.

After hearing Su Xiao's description of the Dawn Great Shield, the Molten Giant scratched his disheveled hair, sat there staring blankly for a while, and then retrieved a large piece of metal billet from the material cabinet, which had spark patterns on it.

After leaving several wooden barrels of elemental fine brew for the Molten Giant, Su Xiao took Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja and left the Gray Sanctuary, riding the Demon Flame Dragon, Barbatos, to the Zerg base camp. An hour later, in Jila's sleeping nest, he plucked the groggy, half-asleep Jila out of her sweet dream. Jila, who had morning grumpiness but dared not show it, sat there looking aggrieved.

After understanding the specific situation of the Astral Devourer, Su Xiao took out the 【Abyssal Source Crystal (???)】, and had Jila control a large number of demon beasts to seal this thing at the base of the Starry Sky Giant Tree, thereby suppressing it.

Carrying this thing around all the time, Su Xiao felt it wasn't very secure. As for whether it might be stolen by others later, that's a concern for another time; this item is not a supreme treasure. The Starry Sky Giant Tree is just one kilometer away from the Mother Nest base camp, and with the Zerg watching, only Caesar could steal this item.

Mentioning Caesar, Su Xiao opened his contact list and sent 2000 ounces of Space-Time Power via email. This large sum of Space-Time Power serves as payment, with two requirements.

1. Obtain a world-key type item for "Blazing Sun Star: Kiliad," and this world-key type item must have a buff effect; for example, entering with it could increase the acquisition of World Source in "Blazing Sun Star: Kiliad" by 30%, increase the quality of treasure chests obtained, or increase quest rewards, etc.

2. Replicate the script from the last trip to the Origin: Dead Silence City.

Last time, it was forging the rumor that there were Black Maple Tree seeds in the Origin: Dead Silence City to attract a large number of powerhouses to share the risk. Facts proved that this approach was too wise; otherwise, Su Xiao might have already been hacked to death by the Sword Saint group of Dead Silence City.

As for what script to play this time, that depends on Caesar's performance. Although Caesar is greedy, he is very reliable after receiving benefits. This guy will definitely find the Violent Rat and the Toad, and the three scoundrels of the Arbiters will join forces to create a very attractive script.

Before long, Caesar replied, saying he accepted the commission, with the prerequisite that Su Xiao temporarily lend him one item. He wasn't afraid of Caesar losing it, or rather, unless Su Xiao died, this item would only belong to him in the future, and no one could take it away.

Su Xiao activated the return permission, and the next second he returned to his exclusive room. He went out of the exclusive room to Xia's restaurant, had a full meal, and packed a portion of seafood fried noodles before getting up and leaving the restaurant. Just after walking a few dozen meters, he stopped his steps; he was so used to not paying for meals here that he forgot to pay the bill again.

Turning back to the restaurant, the shop door was already closed. After passing the smart butler's identification, he walked into the shop. Because of the cooking just now, Xia was already tired and sleeping on a lounge chair. Seeing this, Su Xiao raised his hand and pushed Xia. Xia opened her eyes in confusion, sat up, and sat there blankly, looking at Su Xiao with a dazed gaze.

"..."

Su Xiao took out a money bag and put 400 of the remaining 504 Soul Coins into it; it had really been a while since he last paid, and he couldn't remember exactly how much he owed.

"Uh~, this dream is so strange. Bai Ye, why are you still not talking much in the dream? I am the protagonist of this dream~"

As she spoke, the sleepy Xia fell asleep again. It seems that the cooking skills learned from the Gluttony Castle consume a lot of stamina.

After Su Xiao left the restaurant, the shop door behind him fell. It was the smart butler in the restaurant that detected the restaurant owner was already fast asleep, so it automatically closed the shop. Speaking of which, this smart butler was actually a gift from Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang to Xia. It wasn't a gift per se; as the programmer of this smart butler, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang always felt this thing was an artificial idiot, so after one dinner, it used this thing to pay for the meal.

After returning to the exclusive room, Su Xiao took out the Library Badge to enter the Soul Library.

Half an hour later, on the top floor of the library, the acting administrator, the little sprite Popoli, was sleeping soundly on the chair behind the wooden counter. It makes sense; in recent years, only Su Xiao could reach the top floor of the Soul Library, and every day, besides cleaning, Popoli just slept.

Putting down the packed seafood fried noodles, the little sprite Popoli's nose twitched twice, and he woke up rubbing his eyes. The bleary-eyed Popoli looked at Su Xiao, and it took him 1 second to react, greeting him: "Bai Ye, you're here. What knowledge are you exchanging for this time?"

The little sprite Popoli didn't stand on ceremony; after waking up, he started enjoying the seafood noodles. As a result, once he started eating, he couldn't stop. After finishing a large portion, he let out a satisfied burp and asked with lingering interest: "Where did you buy this at which restaurant?"

"A restaurant in Reincarnation Paradise."

"What a pity, but I guess the business of this restaurant must be booming."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. Xia's restaurant was almost the exclusive kitchen for the Dawn Team. With Xia's 'stunning' eye for location, people who had been to her restaurant once would praise it as delicious, but when they wanted to go a second time, they would be confused to find: 'Where was that restaurant last time? It seems to be here? But why is the one in front of me the Skill Upgrade Hall?'

After suffering the blow of having no repeat customers, Xia gave up. Anyway, she didn't rely on the restaurant's income, but on making recovery and buff foods that could be brought into mission worlds, so she simply took down the restaurant's signboard.

This time Su Xiao came to the Soul Library, he first went to the Ancient One, exchanging 【The Ancient One's Travel Notes】 for 2000 Library Silver Coins, and 【Soul Secret Arts (Inheritance/Professional Knowledge)】 for 500 Library Silver Coins.

Previously, Su Xiao also wanted to self-study some Soul-type passives through 【Soul Secret Arts (Inheritance/Professional Knowledge)】, but after reading it intently for two hours, he closed the 【Soul Secret Arts】; he couldn't understand it at all, as he hadn't mastered the basic knowledge related to the Soul-type.

Currently, Su Xiao has 4180 Library Silver Coins in hand. Because his total assets were only 1680 Library Silver Coins before, he only bought less than half of the "High-Level Sealing Studies," and the total price of this thing is 3800 Library Silver Coins.

With ample Library Silver Coins on hand, of course, he had to take it all. Even after mastering it later, he could still sell these ancient books of "High-Level Sealing Studies" back to the Soul Library, still at the price of 3800 Library Silver Coins.

After thoroughly mastering "High-Level Sealing Studies," there is the pinnacle of sealing studies, "Master-Level Sealing Studies," which requires a full 7000 Library Silver Coins. Just looking at this price, one can know its gold content.

After paying the Library Silver Coins to take the complete "High-Level Sealing Studies," Su Xiao went down to the largest floor of the library, with a cup of maple tea, an ancient book on sealing studies, and the "Abyssal Contract" taken out.

The principle of this thing is very simple: pay a "price" to gain an "upgrade."

Su Xiao signed it as Kuku Lin Bai Ye, choosing to temporarily "massively" increase his learning ability. This signing would be lifted after 47 hours, and the "constraints" and "price" he set were:

Constraints: Cannot use this item for a long time, cannot use it for more than 48 hours at a time, cannot use this contract to directly pry into the Abyssal Power, cannot crave the dark power that is easily obtained, and cannot fall into the abyss.

The price is: intense bad luck, moderate weakness, ten thousand times the pain, and intense spirit vision.

The price Su Xiao set was too intense, and what he gained was only temporary learning ability, not permanent power, which led to the "Abyssal Contract" only being able to provide him with a buff, rather than being bound to him.

This is exactly what Su Xiao wanted; the risks and costs of gaining power directly through the "Abyssal Contract" are too high.

Su Xiao began to immerse himself in the mastery of sealing studies. Under the dual learning ability buffs of the "Mysterious Scholar" title and the "Abyssal Contract," as well as the supervision of five 'strict teachers,' his sealing studies improved rapidly.

When only 10 minutes remained of the 5 natural days of secondary stay time, Su Xiao closed the last ancient book on sealing studies, got up, and activated the teleportation. After returning to the exclusive room, feeling dizzy and heavy-headed, he fell asleep as soon as he lay down. When he woke up, it was already noon the next day.

Opening the emails sent by Caesar, there were two in total. The content of the first one was blank, with half a 【Sun Mark】 attached. This is the world key to enter "Blazing Sun Star: Kiliad."

The content of the second email was very interesting. This email intercepted the headline reported today by the most famous magazine guild in the high-level Apocalypse Paradise, which read:

"Breaking News: The 'Origin Stone: World' has appeared on Blazing Sun Star: Kiliad."

Located below was a picture of a palace, with all kinds of rare treasures piled on the ground, and on the only wooden stand, the "Origin Stone: World" was placed.

This photo is real. The shooting location is not "Blazing Sun Star: Kiliad," but the "Holy Land: Kiliad" on the Demon Spirit Star. To be precise, it was a small area of "Blazing Sun Star: Kiliad" that fell onto the Demon Spirit Star, thereby assimilating into the "Holy Land: Kiliad."

In essence, Caesar really just took the "Origin Stone: World" to an abandoned palace in Kiliad and snapped two photos.

However, after the rumors of the Black Maple Tree in the Origin: Dead Silence City, powerhouses from various paradises and the Void Myriad Worlds are particularly vigilant about the situation where supreme treasures suddenly appear in such ultra-high-risk worlds. In this era, there are simply too many old schemers, so all kinds of fortune-tellers have come out.

The problem is, this time the fortune-telling was about the "Origin Stone: World," and even for the top fortune-tellers, the results obtained were very vague.

It was under these circumstances that all top fortune-tellers obtained a similar fortune-telling result, which is that the "Origin Stone: World" is truly manifesting on "Blazing Sun Star: Kiliad"!

Why would this be? The answer is that Su Xiao, who has already obtained the world key to "Blazing Sun Star: Kiliad," is about to take the "Origin Stone: World" to this world. It can only be said that the result of the prophecy is very accurate.

This very accurate prophecy result made those powerhouses who were still hesitating make up their minds. That is the "Origin Stone: World," and they must go and fight for it!

At this moment, on the Meteor Star, at the base camp of the Night faction, in a dim church, Sin Abyss looked at the intelligence in his hand, an inexplicable brilliance appearing in his eyes.

At the same time, in the Void: Devil Race station, in the courtyard of a luxurious villa, Wood, who was leaning on a lounge chair enjoying a sunbath, looked at the intelligence data in his hand. The pupil flames in his eyes condensed; this familiar feeling that rushed toward him made him sit up.

"Wood, are you tempted?"

A devil-demon hybrid succubus, half-hidden in the shadows, spoke.

"I'm not tempted; I'm just seeing an old friend."

Wood did not deliberately hide it; this hybrid succubus is his half-sister.

"Talking nonsense again, but I feel that this matter is purely a rumor, just like the Black Maple Tree in Dead Silence City last time."

Hearing the hybrid succubus say this, a smile appeared on Wood's face, and he said:

"You just don't understand this friend of mine. Do you think we didn't find the Black Maple Tree in Dead Silence City last time? It's just that the Black Maple Tree withered. This old friend of mine, he is... a 'Prophet'."
