Chapter 345: World Tree Secret Realm (1)
The Middle East was once a unified superpower. Before the World War, when the elves had not yet arrived, it was called the Ottoman Empire. This country was also unrivaled in Central Asia during the Middle Ages. Until the advent of the First Industrial Revolution, European countries developed rapidly and began to colonize the world. The Ottoman Empire was the first to be divided by colonization and eventually perished.
When the human world war broke out, the Ottoman Empire struggled to restore its country and drive out the colonists. At the most intense moment of the war, the elves suddenly arrived and interrupted the course of history. The world war between humans turned into a war between humans and monsters. However, the people of the Ottoman Empire did not take it seriously at first. They did not hate the elves but the European colonists. Therefore, in the early stage of the monster war, the Ottoman Empire stood on the opposite side of humans and was jointly sanctioned and suppressed by European countries. In the end, the country completely fell apart.
The War of Warcraft entered its most brutal stage. The population in the Middle East was almost wiped out. Humans without firearms were no match for the elves. Without the Ottoman Empire, the Middle Eastern peoples could hardly resist the beast tide launched by the elves because they could not get the firearms assistance from European countries. Large tracts of land became the habitat of the elves, and humans retreated to the southeast. Eventually, they evolved into the current three Middle Eastern countries: Stan, which borders the Kingdom of Dragons in the northeast, the Kingdom of Khan, which borders the Kingdom of Impressions in the southeast, and the Kingdom of Shatuo, which borders Africa and Europe in the west. The total population of the three countries is less than 3 million.
Wang Qiyi learned about the modern history of the world from his history textbooks in high school. The advent of the elves really changed human history completely. In the Middle East, where he lived before, there were dozens of countries, and it was not very peaceful. He saw wars every day in the news. In this world, after the elves came, everything was peaceful, and he hardly heard of any war between two countries.
This is mainly because there are large areas of elf habitats between countries, which have become buffer zones between human countries. In addition, there are a large number of elf secret realms in each country, which undoubtedly brought new territories and resources to countries around the world. The development of these resources alone requires a lot of time, so the world has been so peaceful in the past hundred years. Occasionally, conflicts are fought between elves instead of hot weapons bombardment, and the death toll has decreased, and the hatred between countries is not so deep.
The most famous secret realm in Shatuo is the World Tree Secret Realm, which is a huge secret realm with an area of more than 10 square kilometers. The specific area has not been fully explored and cannot be counted. The entrance and exit of the secret realm is at the border of Shatuo. There are five secret realm passages in Shatuo and one in Fuhan. This secret realm is not controlled by the alliance like the Dragon Kingdom, but is completely open.
The main reason for this generosity is that the Pokémon inside are strong enough and it is not the turn of humans to manage them. The League has rated its danger level as S-level, which means that even a team of master trainers cannot guarantee that all members can come back alive, so only legendary trainers can be a little relieved. Every year, there are many human trainers who enter the secret realm and never get out. Maybe they are still trapped inside, but the outside world basically determines that trainers who have entered the World Tree Secret Realm and have not returned for a year are dead, and no rescue operations will be carried out.
The reason why this secret realm is called the World Tree Secret Realm is due to the news brought back by some legendary trainers who managed to get out alive. There is a towering tree in the center of the secret realm, and its trunk reaches straight into the sky. Even if they are dozens of kilometers away, they can see it clearly and even feel the powerful life energy it radiates. It is simply a holy place for grass-type elves to practice. Of course, benefits coexist with dangers. People without ability still dare not approach the World Tree. According to legend, there are mythical beasts guarding the World Tree and refusing all humans to approach.
Wang Qiyi and Jiang Zining stopped at a small town near the World Tree Secret Realm of Shatuo Country. After hearing the local tour guide's introduction to the World Tree Secret Realm, Jiang Zining was frightened and backed off: "Master, are you really going to take me into this World Tree Secret Realm? Why does it feel so scary? According to the introduction, the survival rate of elite trainers is 30%, the survival rate of master trainers is 50%, and the survival rate of legendary trainers is 90%. As a junior trainer, I have a 100% chance of death!"
"You two, if you are here to travel and train your elves, I suggest you go to the Small World Tree Secret Realm. This secret realm is a medium-sized secret realm, and it is the private secret realm of our Shatuo Kingdom's fourth prince Saladin. He is a legendary trainer, and he also built a world tree in this secret realm. The seeds came from the World Tree Secret Realm, and the prince was rewarded for being recognized by the guardian of the world tree. He planted the seeds in his own private secret realm, and then gathered more than ten legendary grass-type elves in the country to work together to use plant control skills to cultivate a new world tree. Although it is not as magnificent as the authentic world tree, it is safer. You can also hire our local master trainers as bodyguards, the price..."
Wang Qiyi took out his trainer certificate and showed it to the tour guide. When the tour guide saw the words "Legendary Trainer", he immediately shut up. He stared at Wang Qiyi's young face with wide eyes in complete disbelief: "Oh my God! You are a young legendary trainer!"
"So I don't need you to recommend any small world tree secret realm. I want to go to the authentic world tree secret realm. You just need to take us to the entrance of the secret realm. The rest is up to us. We are responsible for our own life and death." Wang Qiyi spoke to the tour guide in English, then turned to Jiang Zining and said in his native language, "Don't worry, my elves will protect you, unless the guardian god personally takes action, the other elves in the secret realm will not threaten me. You have also seen the super evolution of my elves. Dracula usually has high-level legendary strength, and after super evolution, he reaches the peak of legendary level, quasi-legendary strength. Not only that, the soft Mewtwo super-evolved form also has quasi-legendary strength. With such a strong combat power guarantee, it is always no problem to escape if you can't win."
Wang Qiyi was still muttering in his heart, wondering if his identity as a Dream Messenger would work in the Elf World. At the beginning, Dream asked him to be a messenger, and gave him an egg and a super gem. At least he should have been given an identity card so that he could move freely in the social circle of the Elf World. What's the point of being a messenger if he only gave a title but no identity verification? Others don't know.
Wang Qiyi bought some wilderness survival supplies in the town, and the next day he and Jiang Zining stepped into the World Tree Secret Realm. At first, you can still see some adventurous trainers training and fighting or catching Pokémon in the secret realm, but after walking about ten kilometers, there is no one.
"Where is our destination?" Jiang Zining said nervously while sitting on Dracula's back.
"Of course, we're heading for the World Tree. The map says that if we keep going in this direction, we'll see the World Tree. Most people can only see its shadow from afar. According to the tour guide, there are only five people who can actually stand in front of the World Tree. One of them is their fourth prince, and the other four are legendary trainers. Now that I'm here, I have to give it a try. If we get close to the World Tree, the Pokémon nearby must be very powerful. I'll find you a powerful Grass-type Pokémon and help you get into college."
Jiang Zining followed Wang Qiyi and gradually understood the professional work of trainers. It seems that adventure is one of the jobs of this profession. Participating in important competitions, catching criminals, fighting against beast tides, exploring secret realms, protecting important people, participating in rescue and even participating in wars are all within the scope of a trainer's responsibilities. I didn't expect that I would follow my teacher to explore S-level secret realms just after my debut. I will brag about it for the rest of my life.
"Wow! Look, the World Tree!" The two flew forward for more than ten minutes, and saw the shadow of a towering tree in the mist in the distance. Maybe it was too far away, so it was not clear. Wang Qiyi patted Dracula to speed up.
