Chapter 723: Chapter 373 Dangers of the mother-in-law and everyone’s trust (4.2k, more later)_2

Materials that fall from an Origin Beast of king tier are the highest-grade materials in the inventory of the Travel Bureau, but if I wanted them, I only need to speak a word to Florecia.

These ordinary players aren’t of much help to me.

Frankly speaking, if we encountered a powerful enemy, they would be nothing but cannon fodder or a burden.

If possible, I’d prefer to explore this place alone; the only reason Wei’er and the others came is because, in the real world, they are like players in the Dream World who have leveled up twice and can return to the nest any time, so there are no worries about what might happen afterwards.

However, I can’t bring myself to tell them to turn back now.

Now that we can’t get out, telling them to turn back would be the same as abandoning them.

So let them follow, and then help them get to shore.

Among these five cities, there has to be one that is friendly, right?

[Note: Hey, that might not necessarily be the case~]

Luo Xi: "..."

Does that mean every city has its pitfalls?

Feya lifted her eyes to the horizon and said, "Mr. Luo Xi, we need to speed up. If the tide comes again, we may be scattered, and the next wave is likely to be even stronger."

Xiya pointed toward the city whose walls gleamed with a metallic luster and said, "Liya should be near that city."

Luo Xi looked at the text description and asked, "Is that Far Wind City?"

Xiya pondered for a moment and replied, "Yes, that’s the Far Wind City of Tiangong Country. I’ve heard that the City Owner is a very charming man, with a deep understanding of Rune Skills. Ya’er going there might make her a guest of honor."

"Why wouldn’t mother go to Dusk City?"

Wei’er inquired, "Didn’t you say that you and mom are from Dusk City?"

Xiya hesitated, then shook her head and said, "It’s a long story, we should talk about this after we meet your mother."

It seems like Ya’er didn’t want her daughter to be involved in the family’s conspiracies and strife.

So I shouldn’t say too much myself.

Some things are better for a mother to tell her daughter in person.

...

//

Liya stood outside the gates of the metallic city.

The hot wind that greeted her was thick with the smell of steel.

As soon as she set foot on land, the strength within her started to rapidly recover, freeing her from her weakened state.

Liya felt the flow of Yuan Su within her return to normal.

"Do you gradually lose strength after leaving the shelter of the Divine Tree?"

Why?

A multitude of white runes appeared on Liya’s hand.

She suddenly had a revelation.

The Divine Tree System, based on the Eternal World Tree, was the tangible manifestation of the rules of their world.

But there is no Divine Tree in the Otherworld.

The rules that allow their existence are only here.

Without other influencing factors, only within the range of the shelter of these Divine Trees can people like them, who come from that world, maintain the stability of their existence in the rules created by the Divine Tree.

Otherwise, they would, as before, steadily weaken until they perished.

As with runes, different Rune Skills have different rune sequence structures; to combine them, one must find an entry point.

The Divine Tree is that entry point.

"The worlds, they are merging," she concluded.

If Luo Xi knew, he would probably marvel at his mother-in-law’s insight.

Without any other known information, she managed to speculate that the Two Worlds were merging—a feat that would likely make her a top scholar in reality.

"Shall I go in?"

Liya was uncertain of how the city’s ruler would treat her.

Or should she just stay nearby?

That way, at least, she could maintain her strength without decline.

But grandmother has gone missing somewhere.

If she was swept into the depths of the sea, even with her formidable strength, it would be very dangerous, and Liya didn’t have much of her power available to use.

Furthermore, mother needs grandmother to advance in tier and figure out a way to rescue her.

It’s so annoying.

The more Liya thought, the more irritated she became.

Why can’t I do anything right?

I’ve squandered so much time in Winter City without figuring out the construction rules of the Divine Tree, nearly getting myself and my daughters killed in the process. Even my advancement after returning home failed.

A handsome man with slightly graying temples suddenly appeared at the entrance, smiling and asking, "Excuse me, beautiful lady, may I inquire about your troubles? Perhaps I might have the honor of helping you solve them."

Liya instantly became wary, looking up at the man.

Being able to appear before her without a sound.

This man is probably the City Owner of this city.

An Origin Beast of eight-hundred-meters Tier grants its controller strength up to the peak of Tier Five; if he wanted to do something, she wouldn’t stand a chance.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself."

The man nodded and said, "I am the City Owner of Far Wind City."

"Thank you,"

Liya calmly said, "I have a companion who has gone missing in this ocean. Can you help me find her?"

"This... I’m afraid I can’t do much, my perception cannot reach out into the sea,"

The man said regretfully, "This sea does not belong to our world. The World Tree also tells me not to leave its Blessing, otherwise I would be repelled by the rules of the world. However, I can loan you a vessel that can sail in these waters."

"A ship?"

"Yes, this is an unmanned ship that recently appeared in the southern sea of Far Wind City."

With a simple gesture from the man,

a small iron boat appeared before Liya amidst the movement of a silver ring.
