Chapter 57 Gift(1/2)
Square leopard stared at the huge, charming emerald, whose surfaces refracted different brilliance in different directions, exuding a dreamy color. He didn't know if this was aquamarine, but it was definitely not an emerald. Such gems were priceless in another world - but here, it was worthless, and such beryls were everywhere in the forest.
He picked up the gem with one hand, and replaced it with a pair of beautiful eyes looking at him.
"You should have a little more rest, our Captain."
Silvede put the gem down—his shadow reflected in the gem, his face full of fatigue—not surprisingly, it only took five hours since the battle, and he only had a short rest in between.
The guardian used the power of the heart of Mount to repel the crystal army, but the candidates still fought an outstanding battle after that, until the three disorderly monitors finally slowly disappeared into the valley, and the battle came to an end.
The disordered minions left a mess on the battlefield, with countless corpses piled up on the river beach, and the callers also had to clean them up there, count the heads and distribute spoils.
"Is there any new news outside?" he asked.
"The Heart of the Tree is awakened."
"I already know this, Silweid."
Before the crystal launched its attack, the tree's heart should have awakened. The first extinguishing of the heart of the mountain should be the crystal suppressing its power.
After that, the people of the Twilight Guild stole the heart of the mountain, leaving the tree man completely at a disadvantage. Although it has not been investigated yet, whether the Twilight people were bewitched by Crystal. But I think it would not be such a coincidence. Crystal just launched a large-scale attack, and the people of the Twilight Guild happened to be moved by the wind.
Fang Yu did not intend to hide anything for those people, and from the team of the Saint White Stone Guild, the behaviors of the Twilight people have long been circulated. Now the Twilight Guild has temporarily become a crossing rat here, after all, many people may have died because of their behavior.
However, as for whether the Twilight Guild can reach agreement with other guilds in the end, it depends on their public relations ability. The people of the Holy White Stone are still waiting for news from their guild to make the final "verdict" of their decision.
But he probably understood why Crystal had to test again and again before - what she tested was not Mun Yarit's strength, the two guardians knew each other's strength, and what the former was really afraid of was actually the power of the heart of the mountain.
However, the Heart of the Tree cannot extract the power of the Heart of the Mountain without limit, otherwise the consequences will be roughly no different from the people in the twilight who steal the Heart of the Mountain. For this reason, Mun Yarit needs to rely on the power of the summoner.
However, that should be Crystal's last attack in the near future. Before solving the problem of Chongshan Heart, she should not easily launch a test and waste her strength.
As soon as the crystals stopped here, reinforcements from various guilds should have arrived soon. In the next few days, Fang Yu had actually started to consider their departure - they came to this place to collect soil source crystals, and this goal had already exceeded the amount.
Especially after this war, a large number of earth source crystals used by each team to offset the share of the spoils will be sent over. He is now considering how to collect the earth source crystals rather than thinking about how to take them away.
This is not a problem that a few people can solve.
As for another task, helping people investigate the affairs of those with dark aura, it is only time to look at the time.
He rubbed his eyebrows, and Silvede was looking at him with a smile:
"There's another news."
"What?"
"It's going to meet you."
"it?"
"That tree heart, Lord Mun Yarit."
Fang Zhu stopped and couldn't help looking at the other party.
...
The tree people placed the place where they exchanged for rewards in an open, ancient woodland.
But it was still quiet at this moment - there were only a few people in the clearings in the forest, because most of them were still on the front line of the thorns, and thousands of corpses were counted in a short while.
The people who arrived first were the kind of introverted and unfriendly lone men. Therefore, they stood far apart, occupying a corner, and barely communicating with others - only occasionally glanced at Mey, and they probably recognized the Paparal female knight.
But Fang Zhu expected that this place would soon become lively and crowded. At that time, countless people would flock here to exchange for leaves from the trees.
A squeaking sound came from behind. Fang Yu couldn't help but turn around and saw the tree elder slowly appearing from the woods and coming to them. Gray Pi was looking at them with a wooden look, trembling with her long tree beards, and spoke in a low tone:
"Mr. Moon Yarit will soon fall into a deep sleep again, but before that, it hopes to see you."
Fang Yu nodded slightly, which was exactly why they came here.
After saying this, the old tree man slowly turned around:
"Please follow me, the elect."
The movement here seemed to have attracted the attention of others. Some people knew the elder of the tree man and couldn't help but cast a puzzled look at Fang Zhu and his group. If there were tourists, someone might have started recording the video at this moment, but the lone tourists were not very concerned about other people's affairs. They only took a look and then carefully withdrew their gaze.
Fang Yu looked at the people and followed.
The tree man elder walked slowly in front of him, but his steps were very big, and others needed to step up to catch up with each other in the woods.
In addition to Mey, he was also invited by Jita and the Big Catman, and the uninvited Alice Paladin, were not very concerned about such things. He prefers to smoke a pipe alone or something, but according to the Big Catman, he came to see their young captain, and his original words were as follows:
"As the captain, you must have an escort. Whether it is Jita, Tianlan, your ship officer, or our doctor, it is not suitable. This is related to the decency of the Qihai Traveler, so I have to reluctantly make it."
"But aren't there still Paparals?"
"He saw Miss May and mouse and cats. Do you really want him to go?"
"Then he'd better continue to be in jail."
So the two of them decided so happily the fate of the Paparals.
The dense forest became deeper and deeper, which was not very similar to the path they had seen the Heart of the Tree last time. However, the Heart of the Tree is the master of the forest, and it does not necessarily show its sage on a certain tree. In the hill of giant trees, each holy white ancient oak tree can even be the carrier of the Heart of the Forest, and it must be similar in this ash forest.
Not long after, they met Gulla again.
As the saying goes, they have met this little monster three times, so the other party is very attentive to them. It trots all the way and bent down to kiss the big cat man's boots - it originally wanted to kiss Fang Zhu's and Alice's, but the two firmly refused.
Fang Zhu was not used to it, and Alice didn't want to change into new shoes. As for Jita's turn, the little girl was so scared that she hurriedly avoided it. This made Gu Wei very hurt, and she looked at them with a little pitiful look with her big black eyes.
"Okay, Gu Wei, there is no such custom in our hometown, but this does not mean that we do not respect you." Fang Yu had to explain to it. The little monster couldn't help but be happy again after hearing this. Others would only tell it what to do, and rarely explain the reason to it.
Explaining the reason is quite respectful to the dwarf monster. Although Gu Wei is stupid, he can at least instinctively detect this.
Next, there was a small monster in the team. Gu Wei kept expressing gratitude to them along the way - because Fang Zhu and his group helped its master, its supreme guardian, Lord Mun Yarit, the Heart of Tree.
With more chattering gurgles, the quietness in the forest was immediately broken. However, the elders of the tree man walked in silently, not saying that they could or could not. The people of the gray tree seemed to be so quiet, and there were always a few trees like short beards.
Fang Zhu asked Guqi, "Guqi, what is the reason why Lord Mun Yarit summoned us?"
Hearing his words, May, who was walking aside, looked back at them. The girl blinked, obviously a little curious about the reason.
"It's a good thing, Gu Wei," the little monster replied immediately, "You and Gu Wei brought back that gem together. Lord Tree Heart is very happy. Lord Tree Heart rewarded Gu Wei, Lord Tree Heart also rewarded you. Gu Wei will bring you to accept Lord Tree Heart reward Gu Wei."
Heard that it was related to the reward, Alice became interested and asked, "Gu Wei, what is the reward?"
But Gu Wei didn't like her and muttered, "Gu Wei can't tell you."
Alice was so angry that she immediately wanted to teach the short monster a lesson. Fang Zhu was so scared that she hurriedly grabbed her. Maye, who was beside her, also stopped her and said, "Miss Alice, don't bully the weak."
Alice was so angry that she had to glar at the short monster and scared the latter to hide aside. Fang Yu couldn't help but comfort the little thing with a few words before asking, "Gu Wei, what is that reward?"
But Gu Wei just shook his head: "Gu Wei doesn't know either."
Fang Yu nodded when he heard this, which was in his guess. However, he couldn't help but think that the reward from Tree Heart should be nowhere short, so he couldn't help but feel a little curious.
They walked for a long time and came to a quiet forest of ancient trees. Several people passed by a row of tree walls made of towering ancient trees. Behind it was an open space. The ancient trees surrounded a gray, withered oak tree in the center. The black trees formed a unique contrast between the white oak trees, like ghosts in the forest.
Fang Zhu raised his head to see the whole picture of this oak tree. It must have been tall and lush, with countless branches full of green leaves, but these leaves fell off, leaving only bare and gray branches, like a silent sculpture.
There were other people in the open space. Fang Zhu looked at those people with a little surprise. He thought that he and May were the only ones who were summoned by the Heart of the Tree, but it seemed that they were not. These people came earlier than him. Their arrival attracted the attention of some people. A young man in the magician dress looked at them twice more.
There were a few people around the Magician, probably the other party's companions. They looked in this direction and whispered, and the Magician occasionally made a statement. Fang Yu listened to the other party's voice from afar, and always felt familiar. After a while, he remembered that he had heard the other party's voice in that channel.
It seems that the ID is called Tomorrow.
He opened the channel and looked at it. Sure enough, he found the other party's ID in it. Fang Yu thought about it and set his status as invisible so as not to recognize it for the other party. Because both the team and the team channel have a certain distance limit. If you see a name suddenly light up, it is probably the other party that appears around.
It was at this moment that Fang Yu suddenly felt a familiar feeling. He turned around and felt that the breath descending on the oak tree not far away. The next moment, a sound from his heart came from the oak tree:
"My human friends, thank you very much for staying and protecting the heart of the mountains with us, and also protecting this land, and for your bravery and nobility in this battle."
"This time I invite you to this place to give you some insignificant gifts. Although it is not as good as you contribute, it is also a gift from this forest."
The rumbling sound roared in the spiritual world of the people, and its owner was the Heart of the Tree, Lord Mun Yarit.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Everyone present couldn't help but look at each other.
But among all, only May stood up and said seriously: "Mr. Tree Heart, we did not leave it for rewards, so please take back these gifts."
Her words attracted everyone to look here, and everyone had a different look on their faces. How could they say it - it felt a bit like a fantasy.
Fang Yu almost choked. He knew that this knight lady was a little ‘different’, but he didn’t expect it to be so old-fashioned. He didn’t know if she was too immersed in the show or too stern. Fortunately, Tree Heart understands people’s hearts better than this knight lady, so he just smiled:
"Of course this is not just a deal, Miss May, but a gift."
Miss Knight opened her mouth and wanted to say something else, but Fang Zhu and Alice hurriedly pulled her aside so as not to arouse public anger. May was a little aggrieved and said a little cutely: "Mr. Ed, Miss Alice, why are you stopping me?"
Alice couldn't help but feel funny and said to her: "Miss May, there is an old saying in our country that goodness will be rewarded. An upright behavior should be praised, so more people will understand what is right and wrong, right and evil, and follow it in their own way."
May blinked: "But isn't it natural to maintain justice..."
Alice patted her forehead and said, "I'll tell you a story."
So Fang Zhu watched Miss Nightingale pull the girl Paparal to tell the fables, and couldn't help but ask the big cat man speechlessly: "Why do I think Miss May is more like an indigenous person than you, Mr. Reid."
"Aboriginal people are not old-fashioned," Reed laughed, "You are a stereotype."
Fang Rong thought about it, and it seemed that Miss Tata or Silmide knew more than him.
At this time, Mun Yarit had already called the magician first. The magician received a seed, which emitted a fluorescent green light in his palm. It was obviously not an ordinary thing, but the square pulp, which was far away, couldn't figure out what the thing was for.
However, magical items such as seeds generally have only a few uses. One is precious potions or alchemy materials, a plant that can grow into functional, such as killer vines, guard shrubs, etc., and the other is sperm plants, which are the most precious, such as woody spirits and dwarf trees. Some of them can grow into outstanding assistants and become adventurers' right-hand men, and some can grow into loyal guards, such as taking a tree man or even a tree man elder in the adventure group, saying it will be cool or not?
The magician's face clearly showed a look of surprise, and then he put it away very carefully. Seeing this scene, Fang Zhu was so curious that he seemed to be a kitten catching it. Such a baby was probably a sperm plant. To be honest, the Qihai Traveler's name was actually very poor, such a sperm plant. Miss Aitela's potion room just needed a natural assistant.
