Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

I do not know.

Aloe vera smiled and said, "Didn't you hear what General Tianwang said?"

Musogen looked puzzled and spread his hands: "No. I was just meditating when Chief Rose suddenly appeared and said that I am now a member of the pioneer team and will follow your command. She didn't say anything else."

This……

Was the pioneering group just established?

Aloe glanced at the document in her hand—the ink stains on the document were very fresh, and the smell of ink was very strong; it really looked like it had just been printed.

"Click."

In the silence, the door was opened.

The aloe vera looked up and immediately revealed a hint of smugness.

The person who came was none other than Fan Kou.

Fan Kou looked slightly displeased, but he still bowed politely and said, "Commander Aloe, the captain of the second team of the pioneering group is reporting to you."

"Please sit down, Captain Bankou."

call--

Aloe breathed a sigh of relief, feeling completely at peace.

Back in 1555, she had more than one superior position to the Fankou! Now that she was under Zuo Chang's command, she was very worried that the Fankou would step on her head.

it's good now.

I am still your boss!

The corners of her lips turned up slightly.

Seeing her smug expression, Fan Kou felt a pang of resentment!

But he was no child and knew how to control his emotions: "Aloe Vera, may I ask what the mission of our pioneering team is? I just received my appointment and know nothing about this team; Chief Rose didn't say much either, only that I should... obey your instructions."

I'm not entirely sure about aloe vera either.

She originally thought that the pioneering team was a well-prepared and mature project that Zuo Chang had already planned.

When she actually got to work, she discovered that it was a complete shell, and even her two team leaders were just hired on short notice!

"Is this what they call free rein?"

Aloe recalled Zuo Chang's last words.

"But isn't this too much freedom?"

Ok.

Ok.

clam down.

Aloe vera, having assessed the situation, cleared her throat and said, "Gentlemen, our current situation may be more serious than you imagine! I cannot reveal more, but I can tell you with certainty—the death of the White Scale Knight is not as simple as it seems!"

Her eyes were sharp as she looked at the faces of Musuogen and Fankou.

She then continued, "Extraordinary circumstances require extraordinary measures. We are about to carry out a special operation. Please speak less and observe more. I will handle everything, understand?"

Musuogen and Fankou exchanged a glance.

Although they didn't know what was going on, they still said, "Understood."

At that very moment, words appeared on the parchment placed on the table:

【Are you ready? 】

Aloe vera picked up a pen: "Everything is ready."

Suddenly, a radiant light appeared.

Amidst the intense spatial tremors, a crack appeared within the room. Aloe lifted her skirt, concealing the astrolabe beneath, and said, "Let's go."

……

……

The humid air rushed in, and the strong sea breeze tousled everyone's hair.

When Fan Kou opened his eyes, he found himself on a golden beach, with the azure waves lapping against the sand, and a breathtaking view before him.

here it is……

"The Sea of ​​Reflections?"

Musogen spoke softly.

"coming?"

Just then, a voice rang out.

Musogen turned his head and saw a red-haired young man striding towards him, his expression anything but friendly.

He glanced at the aloe vera, frowned, and asked, "Why are there only three people?"

Aloe vera replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Those two are excellent scouts, possessing very special abilities."

"You guys... sigh!"

The young man sighed heavily, seemingly very impatient.

Aloe asked, "Sir, what's wrong? Mr. Leonard's information to me was very vague, and he didn't give me enough time to prepare. In this rush, I could only find two people."

The red-haired youth re-examined Aloe and others.

Although there were only three of them, their cultivation levels had all reached the twelfth realm, so they were not mediocre at all.

The situation is urgent, with one unexpected event after another.

First, his cultivation level inexplicably declined—

Five Supreme Beings of the Fifteenth Realm in the Leonard family inexplicably dropped one realm, now only at the Fourteenth Realm level!

Even more incredibly, this change didn't just happen within the Leonard family.

Within the reach of intelligence, all "communities" have been affected! Even if some information has not yet been verified or confirmed, the fact remains that those supreme beings have suddenly gone into seclusion.

Who is stirring up trouble?

Who is it that possesses the ability to suppress a supreme being so silently?

...Besides the gods, who else is there!

The reason for the decline in the Supreme Being's cultivation level has not yet been found, and now the Sea of ​​Reflection has encountered another problem.

Just yesterday, several real dragons descended from the sky and wreaked havoc on the island occupied by Leonard! By the time the Hercy tribe reacted and activated the water god statue in an attempt to retaliate, they had already fled at high speed, only to harass them again a few hours later.

There is no doubt that, besides the Hercyn, others have also arrived at this place.

Moreover, this group clearly identified the Hesei clan and launched an attack.

Who is allowed to enter the Sea of ​​Reflections?

Who was it that discovered the location of the Hessian clan so easily?

Or a god!

Leonard has now merged the two incidents into one, and he must act immediately to locate the Celestial and her followers as quickly as possible.

That's why he urgently contacted Aloe Vera to welcome back the person he had previously turned away.

The issue is……

Looking at the red-haired young man in front of her, Aloe thought to herself, "Leonard must be in a real mess right now. He actually sent such an impolite brat to greet me. Is it really that he's panicked just because he discovered the enemy's presence? Oh well, that's not something I should be concerned about."

Aloe vera glanced sideways at the dark fortress in the distance.

"This is a very rare opportunity to scout out the enemy's headquarters. The real priority is to see Leonard's plans."

Chapter 351 Meeting of Great Powers

Led by the red-haired youth, Aloe led the two behind her into the fortress.

Behind the heavy city gates lay a completely different scene...

A lively scene.

On the carefully paved road, adventurers come and go.

Their skill level wasn't low; at a glance, even the weakest among them was around the seventh realm. The streets were lined with shops offering all the necessary items for an adventure, and there were even a few high-end restaurants.

The red-haired youth looked at Aloe Vera with obvious pride on his face: "Haven't I introduced myself to you yet? My name is Arthur Hessey."

Aloe smiled politely and asked, "Mr. Arthur, what's going on? Mr. Leonard hasn't been here long, has he? Why are there so many... uh, residents here?"

"The Hesei are a family skilled in planning. We have been preparing for this situation for a thousand years! The inhabitants you see now are families who swore allegiance to Hesei, to the gods of rivers and seas, long ago. To recognize their loyalty, we allow them to become the first inhabitants of the new world."

Arthur was clearly proud of his background, and he spoke at length about it.

As a result, the aloe vera also learned some entirely new information.

As a gathering place for dungeons, the Sea of ​​Reflections can be quickly reached by train when the gods are "alive".

Now that the train is gone and the instances are scattered across various islands, entering them isn't so simple.

The Hercy family understood this, and they had been looking for people for a long time, planning to unite these people to explore the ocean and occupy the dungeons, thereby taking control of the entire situation.

Upon hearing this, Aloe thought to herself, "So that's how it is... Leonard chooses partners who have some ability but not much. Someone like me, a descendant of the Earth God, is a very threatening target in his eyes, so of course I wouldn't be invited—unless I can absorb the source of the gods and become a life form like him."

Thinking about this, she understood another principle—

The "method of absorbing the roots" that Leonard gave her is likely fake.

He doesn't need a real earth god.

More precisely, he doesn't need more people to share their achievements.

Unfortunately, things suddenly changed; the centipede, though dead, did not fall down and actually created the celestial chart.

Zuo Chang was extremely selfless, randomly distributing star charts, which led to even a behemoth like the Dragon Community joining the fray!

but……
