Chapter 629 26. Leaves of the Tree of Another World
In the evening, the skeleton carriage stopped in front of the cemetery.
As the embers of dusk continued, the Skeleton King looked at the numerous tree shadows in the south and sighed: "The City of Wenwen has spread out another mile..."
It has only been six months since they last came. sky.
"Can no one stop it..."
"As far as I know, the southern countries are still discussing it."
Politicians always like to discuss - it can make them do nothing and look busy at the same time.
“Is it still safe here?”
The area of the Strange Hearing Zone has expanded by one mile, which means it is one step closer to the hiding place in the cemetery.
"Safe for now."
The skeleton carriage disappeared into nothingness, the stone door of the tomb opened in front of the Skeleton King, and Annan followed him into the cemetery.
The Skeleton King first released the cleaning technique to make the dusty cemetery look brand new. The mage's hand grabbed the magic lamp and hung it on the wall in Annan's envy, and then put the materials he brought on the shelf in an orderly manner. superior.
It not only has mysophobia, but also obsessive-compulsive disorder.
At this time, a dull grunt sounded in the cemetery.
The Skeleton King looked at Annan: "Are you hungry?"
"Well..."
Annan hasn't eaten anything since yesterday's banquet.
The Skeleton King took out a bunch of alchemy objects that looked like ingredients and cooked them in a brand new crucible... They actually turned out to be ingredients.
“Can you cook?”
“Cooking is actually similar to alchemy.”
"Fresh plants, processed plants, fresh flesh and blood, processed flesh and blood, mix them together, stir, cook, add ore and juice...the former is alchemy, the latter is food."
Annan thinks this is wrong, but Skeleton King’s craftsmanship is really good.
"I thought lichs have no emotions or feelings..." Seeing the Skeleton King eating with him, Annan had a strange feeling - especially when there was a piece of ribs.
"That's a lich, a guy who abandoned his life and emotions in pursuit of knowledge and immortality. And I'm just an old guy who can't enter the kingdom of the dead and is forced to live."
"You're too much So humble..."
The knowledgeable Skeleton King made this dinner at the edge of the Lost Zone a smooth one. After dinner, it’s time to get down to business.
“Let’s get started.”
The Skeleton King began to arrange the magic circle in the open space next to the alchemy table. Annan tried to remember, he thought he would have no talent...but surprisingly, he remembered every stroke of the magic circle vividly.
Until the Skeleton King who completed the magic circle lifted the memory spell, Annan changed from a mage back to a warlock.
"Do we have to carve a magic circle here?" he asked.
"Only at the edge of the Strange Zone, the magic circle can normally summon the merchant."
"The merchant is also weird?"
"Yes...or in other words, both the weirdness and the merchant come from that abnormality. The existence leaked from the world."
"That world must be terrible..." Annan commented.
The Skeleton King activated the magic circle, and merchants from another world appeared with gray mist, tentacles and red light.
"Grunting..."
The merchant grunted vaguely, and the Skeleton King replied: "The reason for the advance is one day because we found a surprise on that leaf... Annan, tell us your request."< br>
Annan was not sure whether his charm could affect creatures from another world: "That World Tree Leaf...do you have more?"
"It said yes." Skeleton King relayed.
"If I need it in large quantities, what price will I have to pay...?" The Skeleton King settled the account for Annan: "The leaves of a tree from another world are worth approximately 25 gold coins."
Annan asked again what the leaves of the world tree were for, and then stood aside and pondered.
A rare world tree leaf from a rare and different world that soothes the body and mind, emits a refreshing fragrance, can communicate over long distances without any phone charges, and comes with the signatures of various characters including myself... for sale 998 gold coins is not too much, right?
Annan was about to say he wanted a hundred slices first when he was interrupted by the Skeleton King. It would be useless to suggest Annan more.
“Why?”
"The power stored in a leaf is limited... When the power disappears completely, it will turn into an ordinary leaf." The Skeleton King gave Annan an approximate time: one month.
A rare world tree leaf from a rare and different world that soothes the body and mind, emits a refreshing fragrance, can communicate over long distances, and does not require phone calls. It can also come with the signatures of various characters including yourself, but only It can be used for a month, but it is not worth 998 gold coins...
This is something Annan did not expect, because the leaves of the World Tree do not have this problem.
"Why don't the leaves of the elves' World Tree behave like this?"
"Because the World Tree is here... As long as it still exists, the leaves of the World Tree will not wither."< br>
This is also why the leaves of the World Tree are precious.
The matter should have ended here, with a usage period of one month... It is not unacceptable, at most it cannot be worth that much money, but Annan does not want to give up: "If the leaves of the World Tree can be charged... that is ...Give me a twig of the World Tree?”
Annan hesitated and the merchant remained silent.
"Is it angry?" Annan was worried that this was a taboo.
"If someone tells the elves to break off one of your World Trees and plant it, these peace-loving beings will crush you to ashes." The Skeleton King's dull words sounded in the tomb, "Businessmen are okay, they don't pay much attention to World Tree."
At this time, the businessman who had been silent for a long time grunted.
The Skeleton King's soul fire showed contemplation: "It said that you have to do something for the existence behind it."
...
"Lena... …Lena…”
The distant call awakened the dormant Crimson Princess.
She opened her eyes and found herself standing in a blurry dreamland surging with scarlet.
"Who are you? Where is this?" Princess Crimson looked for the source of the voice.
"I am your mother, child..."
A deep scarlet condensed into a beautiful outline in front of Lian Na.
"Are you...really my mother?" Lian Na stared at her blankly.
"Yes...I am talking to you in the distant Blood Parliament...I have been watching you silently..."
"I will save you out!"
"Don't... ...Your life is more important than anything else...Child, I have to tell you something...You are living in lies and deceit..."
"What..."
"Your knight...he has been deceiving you..."
Princess Crimson opened her mouth slightly: "David? He can't lie to me. On the contrary, mother, he helped me a lot. You must have misunderstood."
"Have you ever thought about why he wanted to Doing this for you..."
The Scarlet Princess looked shy: "Because he likes me?"
"...Because of the conspiracy, child. He is human..."
“Really!?” Princess Crimson suddenly exclaimed excitedly.
Scarlet Silhouette fell into silence. She had only been sleeping for more than a hundred years. Why was her daughter different from before...
