Above the mage!

Chapter 299: Planting Trees for All
"Artificial all-seeing eye." Looking at the name of the eyeball monster displayed by 'Wind Spirit Moon Shadow', Gao De murmured subconsciously.

Just as he thought, this eyeball monster was indeed not a ground creature.

But he never expected that it would have a five-ring level.

But he was much weaker than expected, because even Ryan the Necromancer, who had just entered the fifth ring, was very difficult for Sunaifa to kill.

Therefore, after learning that she could capture the eyeball monster alive, Gao De expected that she should be at the fourth ring level.

The reason why it is so weak may be because of the word "artificial" in front of it. Gao De guessed in his heart.

Man-made products generally have some defects, as the saying goes, pirated products cannot beat the genuine ones.

However, the word "artificial" made Gaode feel even more heavy-hearted.

Who created it?
Since someone can artificially create a five-ring monster, the level of the person behind this must be at least five rings.

Moreover, when Gao De thought of the blue eyes he had just seen, he knew that the other party definitely had more than just five rings.

Even though the distance between us is unknown, it can still give me such a terrifying feeling of oppression. Six rings, seven rings?
Gaode didn't dare to think about the eighth ring.

Because the Eight Rings is already the highest strength limit in this world.

I don't know who it is, but looking at the appearance of the eyeball monster, it doesn't look like something a decent character would tinker with.

In addition, this artificial omniscient eye appeared outside Phoenix. Did it just happen to pass by, or was it heading for Phoenix? And why did it appear at this time? It had never appeared before.
A bunch of questions came to Gaode's mind as the name "Artificial Omniscient Eye" appeared.

"My king, were you talking about the 'Eye of All-Seeing'?" When Gao De was still pondering, Sunaifa beside him raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something, and asked for confirmation.

"Yes." Gao De nodded subconsciously, and then he realized, "You know this thing?"

Sunaifa thought for a moment and said, "I know a little bit."

She organized her words a bit, and then continued, "As you know, in ancient times, there were actually three major Iceborn tribes in the North. After the Iceborn bloodline began to weaken, the Frostguard tribe of the three major Iceborn tribes fled to the eastern part of the North and has never been seen since."

"So in the western part of the North, only our True Ice Tribe and the Hammer of Winter, formerly known as the Winter Claw, are left."

"The eastern part of the northern border is a life-forbidden zone with a temperature of minus 100 degrees. Even people with Iceborn blood cannot survive in such extreme cold."

“So no one knows why the Frostguard tribe’s war mother made such a ridiculous decision. No one knows whether they really settled in the eastern region and passed on their legacy, or became extinct.”

"According to some fragmentary records in the ancient books of the tribe, the route taken by the Frostguard tribe's war mother to the eastern region was guided by an all-seeing eye."

"The classics did not give much information about the Eye of All-Seeing. It was only mentioned by name, so I could not recognize it. It was not until you, my king, mentioned this name that I remembered it."

At this point, a hint of surprise flashed across Sunaifa's dark blue eyes, "How did you recognize it?"

Even the natives of the Northern Territory couldn't recognize the origin of the eyeball monster, so how did Gode call out its name all of a sudden?

"I have mastered a lot of knowledge." Gao De pointed to his head and gave a vague answer.

After all, Feng Ling Yue Ying was too mysterious. Even he himself didn't understand its origin and principle, let alone how to explain it.

However, Sunaifa agreed with this vague answer.

Although they were natives of the North and had never seen the world, she was certain that the "hybrid breeding method" used by Gao De in cultivating the Northwest Barley No. 1 was a "earth-shattering" novelty and priceless knowledge not only in the North but also in the outside world.

Even if such profound knowledge is mastered, it doesn't seem too strange to recognize an "all-seeing eye"?
Thinking of this, Sunaifa quickly passed over the matter and focused on the "Eye of All-Seeing".

"Something that was only recorded in ancient books has now appeared in the world. Where did it come from? And why did it come?"

"It should have come from there," Gao De had the answer in his mind, pointing to the northeast, "It can't be wrong, that's where the Eye of All-Seeing finally went. Now that it has returned, it must have come from there."

"You mean the eastern part of the North? Or is this all-seeing eye related to the Frostguard tribe that fled there?"

"Yes." After a pause, Gao De decided to tell the truth and told him about the blue eyes he had just seen.

"Blue eyes, pure-blooded Iceborn," Sunaifah said softly, making some guesses.

Although it doesn't mean that all people with blue eyes are pure-blooded Iceborn, it is true that all pure-blooded Iceborn have blue eyes.

And those blue eyes came from the eastern region of the North.

It’s no wonder that Sunaifa had such an association.

Gaode nodded silently, agreeing with Sunaifa's idea.

"Is this possible?" Hearing the conversation between the two, Elder Claude at the side felt a cold sweat instantly spreading from the back of his head to his entire body.

"The Iceborn bloodline has declined to the extreme by now. How could there still be such a powerful being among the Iceborn?"

This is the first doubt.

Sunaifa is a pure-blooded Iceborn, but he is only at the fourth ring.

Being able to bring such a terrifying sense of oppression to Gaode across a distance of who knows how many tens of thousands of miles is obviously not something that a fourth- or fifth-ring Ice Mage can do.

"Moreover, ever since the Frostguard tribe's war mother led her people to the eastern region, the Frostguard tribe has completely disappeared and there has been no news of them since then. How come an all-seeing eye related to them suddenly appears now?!"

"If that's true, why are you here?" Elder Claude was deeply puzzled, and this was also the question that Sunaifa and Gode were thinking about.

Gao De was silent for a while, and suddenly asked faintly: "When the Frost Guards left, did the prophecy appear?"

Sunaifah was stunned for a moment, and murmured, "It was after the War Mother Oretia performed the ancient Iceborn ritual spell that the current War Mother Skadi of the Frostguard tribe led the tribe to migrate far to the eastern region."

"In the tribe's records, it was mentioned that War Mother Skadi had an argument with War Mother Oretia and War Mother Karicadi of Winter Claw over a prophecy. It seemed that War Mother Skadi did not agree with the "waiting" in the prophecy, but advocated self-rescue. "But in the end, neither of them could convince the other, and later War Mother Skadi led the tribe to migrate." Sunaifah told the ancient secret.

"So, is it possible that this all-seeing eye is directed at me?" Gaode continued with Sunaifa's words.

Oritia and Skadi had great disagreements on how to save the declining Iceborn bloodline, and eventually parted ways.

It is hard to say which of the two people's ideas is right.

But let's assume that the Frostguard still exists.

It seems that they have been paying attention to the other two tribes in the western region of the North. When the person predicted by Oritia through ritual magic really appeared, they finally couldn't help but send out the All-Seeing Eye to spy on the specific situation. Is it reasonable?

"This..." Sunaifa and Elder Claude looked at each other, with some hesitation in their eyes.

Gao De's speculation, if you think about it carefully, does make some sense.

The reason for their hesitation was that it was still difficult for them to imagine how the Frost Guard tribe had survived in the eastern part of the northern border of the forbidden land of life and had been passed down to this day.

Not to mention that most people cannot withstand such extreme cold, where would food and water come from in such a place?

And if it is really believed that the Eye of All-Seeing came from the Frostguard tribe, then there is no doubt that the Frostguard tribe not only inherited it, but also preserved the power of the Iceborn bloodline quite well.
No matter how you think about it, this is incredible.

"No matter where the All-Seeing Eye comes from, what matters is its purpose." Gao De waved his hand, interrupting the two people's contemplation and got straight to the point.

"He comes with ill intentions." He gave a very affirmative conclusion.

Because there was only coldness in those blue eyes, without even a trace of positive emotion.

Elder Claude's expression changed slightly when he heard this.

"But the situation shouldn't be that bad." Goder comforted him, "Since they have disappeared for so long, it means one thing. For some reason, they can't enter the western part of the northern border, or they can't leave the eastern part. Both are possible, but the result is the same."

Hearing this, Elder Claude finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Sunaifa was not so optimistic. "But the opponent's strength is obvious. I am the only one who can deal with the entire tribe with just one All-Seeing Eye. What if the next time there is not one All-Seeing Eye, but two or three?"

"In the event that the other party has ill intentions, we must be prepared for the worst," she frowned. "Although the guardian tree is powerful, it cannot move, and the protection area is limited to Phoenix."

"That's right." Gao De nodded in agreement.

"So, we have to become stronger as soon as possible, Sunaifa. I think it's time to promote the "Green Wood Longevity Sutra" to the Ice Clan mages in our tribe." He made up his mind to let the Ice Clan mages of the Zhenbing tribe start to practice the "Green Wood Longevity Sutra".

"After the Holy Tree was induced to grow, its own capabilities were greatly enhanced. It should soon be able to transform it into a spiritual land suitable for the growth of magic plants."

“Even though the tribe members are temporarily unable to form a contract with a holy object, even without a holy object, the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra is still a strong practice method, and the Ice Race mages in the tribe can also start looking for their own holy objects early.”

There is little vegetation on the permafrost tundra, but there is plenty of magical plants.

It can even be said that the resources of magic plants are far richer than those in the outside world.

Because this place is so primitive, many resources have not been developed. At the same time, it has a long history. Over the long years, many high-level magical plants of extremely high age have grown on the snowfield.

"Okay." Sunaifa said decisively.

Gaode's order is the first will of the Zhenbing tribe, not to mention that the benefits of this order to the Zhenbing tribe are obvious - Sunaifa has personally experienced the wonders of "Qingmu Changsheng Sutra".

Not to mention anything else, just the first ability that can be obtained by practicing "Aoki Changshengjing", "Nature's Art", is extremely important to Phoenix.

It could quickly advance agricultural development, as well as free Sunaifah from his current position as "Archdruid".

"Cassit, have you really made up your mind?" There was a hint of imperceptible worry in Jesus' voice.

Cassidy nodded and said to his good friend, Jess, "The War Mother said that after choosing the holy object to form a bond with, as long as you practice the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra to the first level, you can gain the ability of 'Nature'."

"That is an ability that can promote plant growth and accelerate the maturity of crops. This ability is very important to the Jinhui Farm that the tribe is currently developing."

"But Cassiter, you have to know that the higher the level of the selected holy object, the more beneficial it will be for our future development. The seed you found is from the Ice Blue Snowberry.
Not only is the Ice Blue Snowberry only of the second level, it is also just a shrub fruit tree. The lifespan of a shrub fruit tree is no match for a large tree magic plant. If you form a bond with it, the lifespan you can gain will be very limited.” Jess wanted to persuade Cassite to give up this unwise decision.

Cassite is still young and is already a second-ring ice wizard. With the "Green Wood Eternal Life Sutra" in his possession, as long as he carefully chooses a high-level magic plant as a sacred object, he will surely have a bright future.

"Jesse, you should remember that I have a younger sister, right?" Cassidy did not directly respond to Jessie's suggestion, but asked him a question in return.

"Remember." Jesus hesitated.

"Yes, she is very cute, with big eyes. Although she can't speak yet, I can imagine the scene of her following me around and calling me brother when she grows up." Cassite had a dreamy expression, then his face darkened and his voice became low.

"But that year was a frozen year, with heavy snow for six consecutive months, which put the entire tribe in trouble. The wild animals all hid, and even the fish in the Arctic Lake were much less. Although the tribe took out the food in stock, many people in the tribe still couldn't survive that six months, including my sister."

"Now, as long as we obtain the 'Nature Art', we can help the tribe open up the Golden Glory Farm and produce barley. Once the Golden Glory Farm is fully built, we won't have to worry about food anymore, and no one in our tribe will starve to death anymore."

Cassite clenched his fists, "The True Iceman can die in battle, but he cannot die of starvation!"

"The War Mother said that the more people master the art of nature, the faster the development of Jinhui Farm will be." Cassite sighed lightly, but immediately became firm, "I am willing to contribute my own strength to this."

"It's not just me. Barin next door and Fit on another street all think the same way. They have already gone ahead and planted trees in Walar Bay."

After saying the last sentence, Cassiter waved to Jesus and left quickly, leaving only his back.

"I can't fall too far behind them!"
