Josiah's hand was still held by Hiri, and Hiri was using a handkerchief to wipe the wound on Josiah's hand. However, this spellcaster lady's actions were slightly rude, and could not be described as considerate.
On the other hand, Josiah's act of beating up one of the three High Elf elders could be said to have directly drawn their hatred.
However, Josiah was not in the mood to discuss his intentions with them. After treating the wound on Josiah's hand, Hiri looked at Ahr.
"I need to accept the baptism of the holy tree. Can you bring me to its main body?"
Josiah's words were equivalent to completely touching the most sensitive nerve of all the High Elves present.
The place where the holy tree's main body was located was the most sacred place of their race. As expected, someone quickly stood up to stop Josiah.
"Stand down!"
A stern reprimand stopped the High Elves, including the two High Elf elders.
The owner of the voice was neither Elder Quidean nor Elder Sindonar, but a High Elf who stood opposite Josiah.
If Josiah remembered correctly, her name was Enya.
"The holy tree has allowed him to enter the holy land."
Elder Enya's voice seemed to be suppressing something, but after seeing the Shiratori standing on Josiah's head, she had no choice but to make way for him.
The other two elders still wanted to say something, but in the end, they could only watch as Josiah walked down the stairs and walked towards the depths of Assequero under Ahr's lead.
A large number of High Elves gathered outside the main hall, and their eyes were burning brightly on Josiah.
At this moment, Hiri held her staff tightly and looked around vigilantly. If an arrow were to fly over, Hiri would still be able to react immediately.
But there was none …
The High Elves surrounding the hall had tense expressions on their faces, but when Josh walked in front of them, they silently made way for him.
This pilgrimage continued for more than ten minutes.
"Don't tell me you've forgotten the way home?" Josiah couldn't help but ask after following Ahr around.
"No! En … that's right! It's here! "
Ahr pointed at a huge stone door in front of him. The surface of the door was covered with a large number of vines, giving off an aura of life.
"Ahr has only taken the road to the Holy Land a few times."
Zhi Ye, who came with Ahr, apologized to Josiah in a low voice.
"Anyway, it's good that you found it. Do you want to come over together?" Josiah asked.
"Of course …"
Before Ahr could raise her hand and shout excitedly, Zhi Ye forcefully grabbed her raised hand. She tried to press Ahr's hand down, but unfortunately, she failed.
"We weren't invited by the holy tree, so we don't have the right to enter." Zhi Ye shook her head and said.
The stone door opened slowly, and a magical barrier appeared in front of Josiah. The surface of the barrier was like a translucent mirror.
"I should be fine …"
At this moment, Ciri suddenly took a step forward, and then with a small leap, he jumped into the range of the Holy Tree's barrier.
The surface of the barrier rippled like a lake. Hiri successfully passed through, which meant that the holy tree allowed her to enter.
In the next second, Hiri turned around and passed through the barrier. She held Josiah's hands and pulled Josiah inside.
"Did we successfully pass the level?" Hiri let go of Josiah's hands and looked back at the things behind the barrier.
They were in a courtyard. White light enveloped the entire sky, and the surrounding walls were filled with complicated magic inscriptions. A tree with silver-white branches stood quietly in the middle of the courtyard.
"Why do you sound so regretful?"
Josiah reached out and grabbed a silver-white leaf that fell from the sky. He confirmed that the tree in front of him was the World Tree.
"My initial plan was to tame all of the High Elves," Sherlock said.
"How many times did you exchange blows with them in the meantime?"
Josiah had already guessed what the script in Hiri's head was. In fact, Josiah also had the illusion that he suddenly received the reward of passing the level without killing the enemy.
"The High Elves need time to correct themselves, just like how humans think of demons. But that doesn't stop me from communicating with the World Tree."
Josiah slowly walked in front of the World Tree. Looking at the High Elves' World Tree up close, Josiah felt like he had been cheated.
Shiratori seemed to sense Josiah's disappointment. She used her beak to peck at Josiah's head.
"Okay, okay. I know you spent a lot of energy to save Assequero." Josiah reached out and touched the branches of the World Tree. This World Tree was about twice the height of the one in Taylin's house.
The life force contained within it was terrifying.
"I will continue to operate the Hearthstone Tavern in Assequero. After all, I'm counting on you to continue to grow. So I have enough time to change the High Elves' prejudice against outsiders."
Josh slowly closed his eyes as soon as he came into contact with the tree trunk.
"Hiri, it might take a few days to build a new server."
"It's fine. I can wait," said Hiri.
"Uh … I mean, I'll have to trouble you to take care of my meals for the next few days. Just like in the Hearthstone Tavern."
"You're going to activate that … Immortal Cultivation mode again?"
Hiri immediately remembered when Josiah was programming in the past. He would sit on a chair all day without eating.
"You could say it's energy saving mode."
"Leave it to me!" Hiri confidently patted her chest.
Just as Josiah was about to establish a connection with the holy tree, Hiri's next words woke him up.
"But there don't seem to be any animals living here. No, there are birds … Josiah, do you like to eat bird meat?"
"Go get some food from the Hearthstone Tavern!"
Josiah took a deep breath and immersed his consciousness into the holy tree after giving a few instructions.
When Josiah opened his eyes again, his surroundings had turned into a pale white space. A giant white bird faced Josiah.
"This is the first time we've met like this." Shiratori suddenly spoke. She wasn't talking to Josiah, but to the white and black cats beside Josiah.
"You guys talk first. I'll think of a way to import the data."
It wasn't the first time for Josiah to build a server, but it was still a complicated job. Just as Josiah started to build the terminal … a crack suddenly appeared in the pale white space.
"What happened?"
Josiah wanted to find Shiratori to ask about the situation, but the consciousness of the three World Trees suddenly disappeared.
In the next second, Josiah felt gravity. Everything happened so suddenly that Josiah couldn't react at all. In the next second, Josiah fell to the ground.
Tiles?
Josiah stretched out his fingers and touched the ground. The ground was paved with exquisite tiles. The cold and hard touch was very real.
The consciousness of the white cat and black cat are empty places, but this bird's consciousness is a luxurious castle?
No!
Josiah slowly climbed up from the ground. Josiah was very familiar with everything around him.
This is … the Venerated Skeleton's castle?
Josiah covered his forehead. In the next second, everything around him was far away from Josiah. Then, Josiah opened his eyes.
When Josiah opened his eyes again, Hiri's pale gray eyes were in front of him, and her crystal lips were terrifyingly close.
"Why … why is it so sudden?" Hiri was shocked at this moment. She immediately took a step back and looked at Josiah in a daze.
"Hiri … is it back to reality?"
Josiah glanced around. After the idea of 'coming back' emerged in Josiah's mind for a moment, he withdrew from the strange space.
Shiratori suddenly jumped onto Josiah's arm at this time. It tilted its head and stared at Josiah.
"You just touched the core of this world."
"The core of the world? Wait … the amount of information is a bit too much, but the scene I just saw is my friend's castle! "
"Try it again and you will know."
Shiratori left this sentence and disappeared in front of Josiah.
"Are you under an illusion?"
Hiri saw Josiah's hesitant expression and came to Josiah again.
