"That is weird."
Han Sen frowned. The land around them was devoid of life. Only the Knight Tree was still alive.
"Does the Knight Tree absorb the life force of the land?" Han Sen asked Moment Queen.
"Geno plants can absorb the lifeforce of the soil, but if the lifeforce is not enough to sustain the growth of the seed, the seed will not sprout." Moment Queen looked at the Knight Tree as she spoke.
"So, there is something wrong with the knight tree?" Han Sen turned his eyes to the knight tree and looked at the tree with six knights.
Moment Queen said, "Yes, there is a problem. There is no life in the ground, and yet the Knight Tree is still growing. That is a big problem."
Han Sen nodded, but he did not take his eyes off the Knight Tree. After a while, Han Sen's face changed.
"There is something wrong with the Knight Fruit," Han Sen said with a frown.
"What did you see?" Moment Queen asked.
Han Sen looked at the six knight fruits on the tree and said, "Although the life force of this knight tree is strong, the life force of the knight fruits is weak.
You said it would take another thousand years for the fruit to ripen, so I did not pay much attention to it. But now, it looks like the fruit is weak. And... "
Han Sen then paused and stared at the knight tree with glowing eyes.
"And what?" Moment Queen frowned. She did not like the way Han Sen spoke.
"And the Knight Tree does not only have six Knight Fruits; it has seven. The other Knight Fruit is on the back of the tree. That is why we did not see it in the beginning," Han Sen said.
"There is another Knight Fruit?"
Moment Queen's face changed, as if she had thought of something. She flew to the other side of the Knight Tree.
Han Sen brought the Dragon-Blood Snake and Little Wind with him. They didn't approach the Knight Tree, so they kept their distance from it and went in a different direction.
Sure enough, there was a knight's fruit on the trunk of the knight's tree.
Unlike the other six Knight's Fruits, this Knight's Fruit seemed to grow on the trunk of the tree. From afar, it looked like a relief of a knight on the trunk of the tree.
Furthermore, the other six knights all had steel-like armor, but this knight's armor was completely bronze in color, giving him a mysterious and unadorned feeling.
Han Sen could feel the lifeforce of the Knight Tree. It was far stronger than the other six knights. Even if the other six were to combine their lifeforce, they would not be able to match the lifeforce of the Knight Tree.
When Moment Queen saw who it was, she was shocked. She said, "Disloyal Knight!
This Knight Tree has produced a Disloyal Knight? "
"What is that?
What's the difference between that and a loyal knight? "Han Sen looked at Moment Queen with confusion.
"Of course it is different. The Loyal Knight Tree can only produce Loyal Knights, not Disloyal Knights. They are not of the same species. It is like an apple tree cannot produce peaches, but this Loyal Knight Tree produced Disloyal Knights," Moment Queen said.
Han Sen did not know much about geno plants, so he frowned and said, "There has to be a reason for this.
What I want to know is, will the Disloyal Knight be loyal to the first person it sees? "
Moment Queen looked at him strangely and said, "How is that possible? Disloyal Knight only knows how to kill people. If you were the one who saw him being born, he would do everything in his power to hunt you down."
Moment Queen went on to say, "I once saw a Disloyal Knight Tree in the possession of an emperor, but it had yet to bear fruit. The emperor said it would take nine thousand years for the tree to bear fruit, and it would take another thousand years for the fruit to ripen. There can only be one Disloyal Knight on each tree."
"Does that mean it is a good thing?
If I kill it before it ripens, will I get a beast soul? "Han Sen asked.
Moment Queen did not answer. She looked at the Disloyal Knight and said, "Do you know what the emperor did to make the Disloyal Knight Tree grow?"
"What did he do?
He wouldn't bury a real knight under the tree, would he? "Han Sen asked.
Moment Queen smiled and said, "Ten thousand knight spirits are nothing compared to the Disloyal Knight's finger. Disloyal Knights have a chance of becoming super creatures. The chances are slim, and they can only become berserk sacred-blood. But even so, it's still a chance."
"So, what did the emperor do to grow the Disloyal Knight Tree?" Han Sen asked.
Moment Queen said, "The emperor planted ten thousand Loyal Knight Trees, but when the Disloyal Knight Tree grew, all of them died."
"That makes sense," Han Sen said with a nod. "It is no wonder there is no lifeforce here."
"That's not right," Moment Queen said. "Disloyal Knights cannot grow on the Loyal Knight Tree. The emperor said that without the sacrifice of ten thousand Loyal Knight Trees, it would be impossible to grow a Disloyal Knight Tree. Do you really think there are ten thousand Loyal Knight Trees here?"
Han Sen looked around and said, "We are still in the depths of Thorn Forest. Aside from this small area, there is a lot of Thorn Forest. There can't be that many Knight Trees."
"Even if there were, the Disloyal Knight would not grow on the same tree as the Loyal Knight Tree. Unless..." Moment Queen looked pensive.
"Unless what?"
Han Sen asked. He didn't know much about geno plants, so he couldn't think of anything.
"Unless a Disloyal Knight died under the Loyal Knight Tree, and the fruit of the Loyal Knight Tree absorbed the Disloyal Knight. Then, it mutated and became a new Disloyal Knight," Moment Queen said, after a moment of thought.
"I just want to know what this has to do with us," Han Sen said. He wasn't interested in learning how Disloyal Knight had come to be. "That's all I want to know. What benefits can we possibly get from him?"
"If that is the case, then perhaps we can claim this Disloyal Knight," Moment Queen said.
