Before Fang Yu's hand touched the ball of light, a deep voice first sounded in his mind: "Get legendary inspiration - the realm of life and death." Then the light fell steadily on his hand, making him take a big bite. Shocked, I almost didn't hold it firmly.
Legendary inspiration? How can there be legendary inspiration? He remembered that the last time he got the legendary inspiration was almost half a year ago. It was still underground in the Blood Thistle Grove. When he touched those fragments, the legendary inspiration came to him just like now.
But those fragments came from the same holy sword as the Annihilator in the hands of the big cat man. They were once used to cast one of the five dragon-slaying holy swords, and they can be said to be incomplete parts of the artifact. As for the ordinary piece of wood in his hand, it looked like an ordinary piece of dead wood from any aspect. He could even see rows of fine, withered wooden tissue on its edge. Could it be that this was also an artifact? Talent?
Munyarit seemed to see his doubts: "Telaka, the World Tree, this was once part of a World Tree, the heart of the giant tree."
"The Heart of the Giant Tree?" Even Alice was so surprised that she lost her voice: "Is this the Heart of the Giant Tree? The Holy White Tree Terraca, the Hill of the Giant Tree? But I heard that the Heart of the Giant Tree rests in the Holy Tree. The core of the temple, why is it here?"
A trace of surprise also flashed in the big cat man's eyes, but he suddenly remembered something, and his silver-gray eyes became calm again. But Fang Yu was finally well-informed in the community, and he suddenly reacted: "Wait a minute, this is..."
There was a hint of certainty in Muenyarit's voice: "You guessed it right, young human."
"Wait a minute," Alice looked at them: "What riddles are you playing?"
"This is the heart of the World Tree," Jita replied softly at this time: "The World Tree, Terraca, is not a name, but a type of plant - we call it the floating giant tree. In the past, this world There used to be many of its kind in the world, but now there is only one left, the Holy White Tree, the Hill of Giant Trees, which is the name we gave it."
Mei, who was holding her oak shield on the side, understood after hearing this, "That is to say..."
"Yes," Munyarit replied: "This Heart of Tree comes from a Telaka tree that once existed in this world. It was destroyed in the War of the Ancients, and people only saved it. This heart of a tree.”
"But I think it's no different from ordinary wood?" Fang Plover looked at the dead wood up and down. If it weren't for the legendary inspiration, he almost suspected that Lord Heart of the Tree was deceiving them.
Alice kicked him lightly and signaled him with her eyes not to be embarrassed. This is the heart of the giant tree. It may look ordinary - but isn't that how it is described in many stories? Those things that seem ordinary on the surface are actually the most amazing things.
But Munyarit smiled: "Your feeling is not wrong, because it has withered. The heart of the tree and Telaka are both miracles of life and the power of nature. But without life, they will become the same thing." It’s no different than dead wood.”
Alice coughed slightly. Fang Pliant turned back to look at her, and Miss Nightingale hurriedly moved her eyes to the side pretending not to know, pretending to look around at the scenery.
But this is too unreliable. No matter how hyped it is and its origin is extraordinary, it is just a piece of dead wood after all. Alice always feels that the old tree man is taking advantage of the idiot for fun, and she is also involved. Shameful.
But Fang Plover was not dissatisfied. Probably because of what he had learned, this piece of dead wood seemed to him more like a precious specimen, which recorded the glorious past of an endangered plant population. Others may think that the Heart of the Tree is deceiving them, but he actually got a legendary inspiration from this dead tree, which is enough to explain everything.
Mei Yi was also looking at the piece of dead wood in Fang Plover's hand in a daze. After all, she also comes from the Hill of Giant Trees, which is considered a second home for Papal selectors like them.
"Aren't you dissatisfied at all, young human?" Munyarit suddenly asked.
"No," Fang Yu shook his head and looked at the dead wood in his hand with some emotion: "Everything is subject to birth and death. The glory of the past reflects the decline of today. The so-called eternal World Tree cannot escape the judgment of time. The relationship between life and death Is there any limit between time?"
Alice turned back and looked at him slightly surprised.
Muenyarit let out a deep laugh, somewhat satisfied: "All things are subject to birth and death. Life and death are indeed boundless. New shoots also sprout from the ashes. Today's death symbolizes the glory of tomorrow. Young humans, it seems The goddess's favor for you is not without reason."
Fang Yu was stunned, and wanted to say that he was indeed the chosen one of the goddess, but it was not Amaya, but Marlan. The mark left by the forest lady on him was better said to be a coincidence.
But he thought about it and felt that there was no need to explain anything. After all, it was not a big deal. Muenyarit then said: "Although the Heart of the Tree is dead, it once gave birth to Telaka. Young humans, you can feel what it contains."
Fang Plover was startled, and then he understood what Lord Tree Heart was talking about. He put his hand on the dead tree, closed his eyes, and sank into the world of stars. This is a way for craftsmen to detect the world. Although other professions also have methods to detect magic, and some such as magicians are simpler, they are not as deep into the essence of the world as alchemists.
A bright starlight appeared in his eyes, and those shining light points were connected to each other in the darkness, forming this wooden structure. But Fang Plover has never seen such a tight and detailed connection. It is far tighter and stronger than every metal he has ever seen, let alone wood and rocks.
But more importantly, he felt the vast magic power contained in the endless starlight, which was boundless and better than the ocean.
Fang Yu's hands trembled slightly and he opened his eyes. There was a faint silver light in his eyes, which gradually faded as time went by. The brilliance of the magic power was not noticed by others, but Munyarit saw it clearly.
It smiled: "See?"
Fang Yu nodded with some shock.
The heart of the withered giant tree still contains the magic power left behind by it during its lifetime. After all, it once floated in the sea of wind, absorbing the endless elements and ether. It is like a huge source of magic power. Even if it is just a piece of dead wood, it still contains vast power.
This is not just a piece of dead wood, this is simply the raw material that alchemists dream of.
Even if its origin itself is ignored, it can already be regarded as a magical weapon based on the magic power contained in it. It is indeed Telaka, the heart of the world tree.
It is definitely not just an ordinary gift. In a sense, it is not inferior to May's Oak Shield at all.
It’s no wonder that Munyarit would say that this gift is most suitable for him, because of all people, he is the only one who is an alchemist, and he is the only one who can discover the extraordinary features of this dead wood.
"Those majestic giant trees once depicted the history of this world, but ancient disasters destroyed everything. They once drifted at the end of time and were buried in the dust of history," Muenyarit said slowly at this time , "Few people remember the past glory of those legendary things, but I think that a person who can hear the reincarnation of nature may also be able to hear the ancient sounds contained in it——"
"Young human being, maybe one day you will give this tree heart another life."
Fang Yu looked at the dead wood in his hand and didn't understand whether turning it into an alchemical work meant giving the heart of the giant tree another kind of life.
But that is still a bit far away for him.
This material was of too high a level for him, and at his current level, it was basically impossible to use it. But he still nodded slightly. Just because he doesn't need it now doesn't mean he won't need it in the future.
…
When leaving the forest, Fang Yu suddenly remembered something. He stopped Alice and asked, "Speaking of which, you were also involved in that battle, right?"
Alice brushed the hair beside her ears, tilted her head and replied, "Me, what's wrong?"
"I mean without you, we may not have time to take back the Heart of the Mountain. Although Miss Mei is also there, she may not be a match for those in Twilight. Did Master Muenyarit give you to me?" forget?"
Mei thought for a moment and nodded. She has always been fair, and what she gets is what she gets.
"So you are fighting for me," Alice blinked slyly, "But you are wrong, it has already given us a reward."
"Really?" Fang Yu was slightly startled.
"Have you forgotten that I am a member of the Holy White Stone Guild? Just like it is a gift to you, not to you, the big cat and Jita each have a gift, the rewards I receive are naturally given to the team. of."
Fang Yu then remembered this incident and looked at her a little surprised: "Speaking of which, do you still want to stay in the Holy White Stone Guild?"
When mentioning this matter, Alice also seemed a little confused and shook her head: "I'm not sure. If the Holy White Stone no longer cooperates with Twilight, then there is no point in my staying here. Let's look over there for details. How can I put it, although I think there is nothing wrong with staying in the Holy White Stone Guild."
Fang Yu suddenly fell silent. He felt that the other party was not so free and could not even decide whether he would stay or go. In fact, when they met again this time, he felt that the twin sister had changed a lot compared to when she was in Fenris. Although maybe she had this kind of personality originally and just showed that way when she was in Fenris, it is undeniable that this Everything may be related to the other person's experience during this period.
To put it bluntly, it was because of what happened in Fenris that she shouldered unnecessary responsibilities. And the perpetrators are still at large. Isn't this why they tracked the whereabouts of those dark believers along the way?
He suddenly understood Alyssa's original intention of joining their team. The so-called gratitude and having no place to go might just be an excuse.
"Then the mission given to you by the military is to lurk in the Holy White Stone Guild. Then there won't be any problem if you leave the mission without authorization, right?"
"Where are you thinking? The people over there are not hard-hearted. The matter of Heart of the Mountain is more important. I handed over the communication crystal to the guild at that time and could not contact them. However, I have reported it to them afterwards. Okay, then we just need to go through an investigation process."
"It really doesn't matter?"
"It doesn't matter," Alice shook her head and said to him in an old-fashioned way: "Please have some confidence in your country. Although things there are a bit rigid and they have to report every big thing, they still have a very sense of justice. .”
Although she spoke in a free and easy manner, Fang Pultru could still hear Miss Nightingale's yearning for freedom.
He thought for a moment and said, "Your sister... is actually very worried about you."
"Why are you helping her preach to me?" Alice laughed: "If you want to use this method to impress me, it would be too old-fashioned. You might as well ask my sister for advice. She has There are many ways to teach you how to please a girl.”
After hearing this, Fang Plover's feet trembled and he almost fell down. The big cat man laughed and said with a smile: "I think it will work. For women, you have to tame them like a lioness."
"Mr. Big Cat Man, where are your lionesses?" Fang Plover tore off the vines wrapped around his feet and said angrily.
Now it was the lion paladin's turn to cough heavily, and he replied seriously: "Little guy, you have to understand that I am already half a Sanshak. I have sworn to stay away from the wilderness of Lotao." A better life.”
"You might as well tell Miss Attila this."
"What does it have to do with Miss Saint? She doesn't care about it."
"Speaking of which, is Miss Attila really a unicorn girl?"
"That's a long story..."
In the next two days, Fang Plover informed the Seven Seas Traveler of the situation as planned. It was said that they successfully completed the mission and exceeded the target by a large margin. Although the Tuyuan Crystal was actually only needed by Fang Plover, Miss Elf still expressed her congratulations to him warmly.
With such a sister-like person caring about him, Fang Plover always felt warm in his heart. He sometimes felt that the Seven Seas Traveler was like a big family, and everyone was an indispensable part.
It was hard for him to imagine that this team would be scattered one day in the future, but he was determined that as long as he stayed in Etalia for one day, the Seven Seas Brigade would not be easily disbanded no matter what.
Alyssa also spoke to her sister. Although the sisters had each other's communication IDs, the feeling of being far apart was naturally not as good as the feeling of being so close to each other at this moment. The Seven Seas Traveler is not far from this place at the moment, and this may be the first time the two of them have been so close to each other in more than half a year.
That sense of spiritual connection, even if it just feels a little close, is enough to move people. It is difficult for outsiders to understand the feeling. But this was the first time that Fang Yu saw Alice wiping her tears. Although she didn't cry, her eyes were red and swollen after the two sisters finished talking.
As for Alyssa, I'm afraid it's about the same.
Even so, the twin sister thanked him. Even though he helped the other party so much last time in Fenris, the other party never thanked him seriously. But this time it was completely different. Alice was rarely serious.
Tianlan held the communication crystal and chattered to her new friend, Ai Xiaoxiao, about what happened in the past few days. The latter was stunned for a while and regretted it, saying that she must not miss it next time. Such an opportunity for adventure.
However, this played into Tianlan's hands, but Fang Yu didn't know that this little girl was actually evil-minded and wanted to show off her experience. Ai Xiaoxiao's reaction greatly satisfied her little vanity.
So our poet lady patted her little breasts and assured her that she would definitely take her out on an adventure next time. I don’t know where she got her confidence from.
However, Tang Xin was far less polite and directly urged Ai Xiaoxiao to see if she had reviewed and completed the homework she assigned - yes, Ai Xiaoxiao's holiday homework was finally completed successfully after going through all kinds of difficulties. , but this does not mean that she is out of the sea of suffering.
Who told her to have a responsible best friend, and she also had full authorization from her parents.
Ai Xiaoxiao was so angry that she muttered: "Tangtang, you are becoming more and more like my mother!"
"Then you stay in this world for the rest of your life, just like my idiot cousin."
"Hmph, I wish I could. My eldest cousin is so nice."
As a result, Fang Plover received several vicious eye rolls for no apparent reason.
But not long after, Tang Xin found him again worriedly, and asked a little seriously: "Brother, am I getting old?"
Fang Yu glanced at her and didn't quite understand where the other party's meaningless question came from. He just thought that if you are getting old, wouldn't I have half a foot in the grave? However, he thought about it and decided to answer his cousin's question seriously in order to establish his authority as his elder brother:
"Maybe you are older in mentality, oops——"
Not long after, people discovered that their captain was covering his feet with cold sweat on his face.
Baggins on the ship also rarely asked a few questions about their eldest lady. Sylvide smiled and apologized to the boatswain. She and Siesta had sneaked out after all. As her father's deputy and her half-guardian, Baggins was responsible for her despite the relationship between master and servant.
Our noble lady has always been sensible——
However, it was rare for Fang Yu to apologize seriously.
Finally, Luo Hao and Luo Yu informed them of the sailing status of the Seven Seas Traveler in the past few days. Generally speaking, it was going smoothly. Although the changeable weather on the side of Mount Piriede near the rainforest made it difficult for the Seven Seas Traveler to sail, That caused a lot of trouble - especially with so few people on board.
However, every loss has its own gain. The complex climatic conditions also make it impossible for the fleet pursuing them to go deep into the foothills of Mount Piriede to search for their whereabouts. After all, their previous glorious achievements are still there. No one dares to underestimate him.
It is conceivable that the most likely opponent is to set up an ambush at the large pass where Kellan'ao is located, the only way to the Ladder of the Old World from Mount Piriede.
But they may not have thought that the Seven Seas Traveler was currently anchored in Mount Piriede and had stopped moving forward. Luo Hao did not express any difficulty with Fang Pulong's request that they stay there for two more days and wait for them to go to the meeting.
Maybe even after they hide here for two more days, the other party will lose patience and think that they have not taken this road and go somewhere else. Although Fang Yu thinks this hope is slim, it at least shows that stopping is not a bad thing.
He asked the Seven Seas Traveler to maintain communication, and soon, as he expected, support from the major guilds began to arrive in the Ash Forest.
This also meant that it was almost time for them to leave this place.
