The garden is lined with trees and flowers, the cobblestone paths are full of elegance, and the small pool with a fountain is relaxing.
The two of them walked forward and came to a large tree in the center surrounded by five people.
This kind of tree is called the Tito tree. The fruit it produces cannot be eaten, but it is very resistant to burning. The locals have the habit of picking the fruits of this Tito tree as firewood. Because of the characteristics of the Tito tree, the locals also call it the tree of flames.
This flame tree was planted by the first generation patriarch of the Kellett family when they built Taranto Castle. It has a history as long as the castle. It has gone through many hardships and seen through the ups and downs of the Kellett family's fortunes. It has been there for 500 years.
It's history.
After William left that year, Tom let three crows build their nest in this tree.
"Lord Zorro, the nest of the three crows is right there!" Tom pointed to the huge bird's nest held up by three branches of the Tito tree and said to William.
In fact, William already knew it without Tom reminding him.
"Let them come down," William said to Tom.
Tom immediately responded, "Okay."
Then he shouted towards the nest, "Mike, Lucy, Jacob, come down quickly, Gu Gu Gu Gu."
As soon as he finished speaking, three green figures flew out of the bird's nest, fluttered in front of Tom, and circled around him.
"Lord Zorro, these are the three crows who helped us find the golden apple!" Tom said to William again.
William nodded and his eyes fell on the three wind crows.
Although they have mutated into monsters, William can still see some aging in them.
These wind crows have also grown old. Although their wings are still powerful and their calls are still clear and loud, they are really old.
Also, how many years can a bird live, even if it becomes a monster?
Birds' brains are not very big, and after so many years, they no longer remember William's appearance, they just circle around Tom.
Tom was a little embarrassed and glanced at William helplessly. William nodded lightly, indicating that he understood, and said, "Tom, they are so familiar with you. If they are like this, you can ask them to help me find another golden apple."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tom's face showed a deep look of embarrassment.
Tom's white snake meat has been finished long ago, which means that Tom can no longer understand the words of the three wind crows, and the two have lost the ability to communicate.
Even though the three wind crows are so familiar with Tom, they have developed habits due to years of raising and familiarity with them.
The three wind crows can understand some very basic commands, but such a complex command as "get the golden apple" cannot be understood by the three wind crows without a period of training.
Seeing Tom's embarrassed look, William frowned and said, "Is there any problem, Tom?"
"Ah?" Tom's body suddenly trembled uncontrollably. Although frowning was just William's subconscious behavior and did not specifically target Tom and did not release any power, Tom was still affected.
This is the gap between third-level wizards and ordinary people, which is getting wider and wider.
William sighed secretly, frowned, and said in a calm and sincere tone, "Tom, the golden apple is very important to me, so I have to trouble you."
Tom felt a little better now, and the bitterness on his face became stronger. He said to William, "Lord Zorro, of course I am very happy to help you with your difficulties. No matter how much help I have helped you, it will never be as good as what you have given me."
s help."
"It's just that it's been too long. I don't know how to tell my friends to cross the ocean again and find another golden apple for us."
In fact, there is one thing that Tom did not say. Although the three wind crows helped him find a golden apple, they were all covered in gold, which showed that there was a lot of danger in that place.
After so many years, Tom has regarded these three wind crows as his own family. When his family takes risks, he, as a parent, will also be worried.
In his heart, he actually doesn't want the three wind crows to continue their adventure. Although this is a bit sorry for "Zorro", people are selfish, right?
What's more, he didn't deceive "Zorro". He had indeed lost the ability to communicate directly with the three wind crows.
Only then did William remember that the White Snake's lair had been demolished by him, and that the remnant soul of the medical god had been crushed by the hourglass of the Kalachakra in the depths of his consciousness. After so many years, where could Tom get the White Snake meat?
Naturally, he can no longer "talk" to animals.
But William didn't want to reveal his knowledge of witchcraft in front of Tom. He thought for a moment and came up with a countermeasure. He turned to Tom and said, "Tom, I have an idea. You go find an apple and dye it."
When it turns golden brown, bring it to me!"
"Lord Zorro, what do you want?" Tom immediately guessed William's intention.
"That's right. You go ahead." William did not deny it.
At William's urging, Tom left the garden independently and went to do the things William asked him to do.
There were only three Wind Crows and William left in the garden.
William no longer had the white snake meat, so he actually couldn't hear the animal's language directly.
But he had other ideas.
After the three wind crows hovered in the air for a while, when they saw Tom leaving, they were about to fly to their nest.
William moved at this time, stretched out his fingers to draw a mysterious pattern in the air, and quickly sketched a witchcraft energy circuit in his mind. A bright light flashed in his eyes, and an invisible long line connected William
And one of the wind crows.
The wind crow paused in the air, then suddenly flew to William's side and landed on his shoulder.
"Little guy." William teased the crow with great interest.
When the other two Wind Crows saw that the Wind Crow was not leaving, they also flew in front of William and kept chirping at the Wind Crow.
The crow on William's shoulder also chirped along with it.
The garden suddenly became a little noisy.
Not long after, Tom ran over with a golden apple dyed yellow. Seeing the situation in front of him, he was a little stunned. With a trace of jealousy that he was not aware of, he said to William, "Lord Zorro, is this?"
"
"I think they may have recognized my old friend. Sometimes, animals are more grateful than humans." William turned back and smiled at Tom.
"Yes. The longer I stay in the position of Grand Duke, the more I feel the loyalty of dogs!" Tom also said with some emotion.
"Of course, dogs are man's best friends!" William smiled, remembering the news that a female deputy mayor was bitten to death by her own dog in her previous life.
William did not continue speaking, but stretched out his hand to get the yellow apple from Tom, and placed it in front of the wind crow on his shoulder, "Here, three cute little crows, help me find another golden apple."
!Remember, what I want is an apple made of pure gold!"
