As a reward, the female dark elf was only the 'first' reward, not the last.
After a certain someone nodded in acknowledgment, Fasnath took out the second reward. At the end of the branches of the man-eating tree in the heart of the tree, a tender leaf shook three times, sprinkling three drops of dew that slowly floated forward.
The three drops of dew seemed to be chasing and playing with each other in the air, constantly moving up and down, back and forth. But in the end, these three drops of dew were contained in a small bottle materialized by a large amount of condensed magic power authority, and only then did they settle down.
This small bottle condensed by authority was a little smaller than a pinky finger. It seemed transparent and colorless, but from time to time, it flashed with seven colors, bright and dazzling, and also carried a strong, exotic fragrance.
The dew that had just dripped out didn't have any smell. Lin hadn't even smelled anything since he entered the heart of the tree. And now, the thick aroma had only appeared after the vial of Authority had been condensed. Could that be the 'smell' of Authority? And could this smell have some magical effect?
As soon as this idea arose, Lin couldn't help but think of many magical possibilities. However, the three small bottles flying towards him interrupted his train of thought.
"This is my Essence Dew, as the second reward. Functions … Well, a lot. But I can't remember exactly what uses it has for humans. I only remember that this Essence Dew used to be called the "Dew of Life," also known as the "Holy Elixir." I think you need this in your current condition. But I don't know how much you need. Maybe you can try all three drops? "Fasnath said so irresponsibly.
But when he heard the words "Holy Elixir," Marco Lin was shocked.
There were only two kinds of elixirs in the land of mystery, the "panacea" and the "holy elixir." The former could cure all diseases, while the latter cured those who were sick and strengthened those who weren't. Its effect was that as long as there was a breath, after drinking it, one would directly become alive and kicking.
The panacea was slightly inferior, as it only had an effect on the sick or injured. The specific principle of its effect was unknown, because the formula had been lost; the only potions had become the treasures of the powerful, although it was unknown whether this kind of thing was useful after it expired.
As for the Holy Spirit Medicine, it could directly change one's basic constitution. Therefore, even 'aging', a non-disease that could not be cured, could be directly brought back to life by the drinker. Although it wasn't to the extent of immortality, those who drank the Holy Spirit Medicine had a much longer lifespan than ordinary people.
All of these only existed in the legends of the Lost Lands. Many people doubted the existence of these two things. But now that there were three small bottles in front of him, Lin didn't know what to say. After a long while, he asked in a daze, "Is this true?"
'I don't know how to answer your question. Because I don't know what you mean by "real". "
Realizing that he had asked a stupid question, Lin changed his question and asked, "Can the other World Trees produce spiritual herbs as well?"
"Even if they can, how can their essence compare to mine?" Fasnath said domineeringly. Then, as he watched a certain someone carefully put the three small bottles into a brocade bag, he asked again, "Human, do you not believe me?"
Why wouldn't I believe him?
Then why don't you drink it?
Although he wanted to say that he wasn't a brat like Ezio or Black Dragon Augustus, who had a strong acid in his mouth and stomach and had the ability to stuff whatever he encountered into his mouth without caring about anything. But if he were to be so honest, he would offend the "tree."
So Lin said, "If this is really such a precious spiritual herb, there will be a more suitable time for it to be used, not now. Although my appearance is not that normal, it's not life-threatening. It would be a waste to use something of this level. "
"In the end, you still don't believe me." Fasnath unceremoniously exposed a certain someone's lie. However, he added, "But since I've given it to you, it's your business how you want to use it. I won't interfere. "
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty." Lin bowed. Perhaps the first reward was a small inconvenience, but if the second reward was really the Holy Spirit Medicine, its value was unimaginable. Marco Lin didn't think that his sacrifice was worth so much that he could get these things.
However, there was a saying that went like this. Poverty limited one's imagination. What happened next was even more surprising.
The cannibal tree's branches and leaves trembled, and the eight World Bubbles appeared again. Fasnath said, "I've wanted to do this for a long time."
The World Tree said something that puzzled people. But right under Lin's eyes, the largest of the eight World Bubbles was sucked into the branch that hung it with a whoosh. Then it sprouted, and a tender branch grew out. Lush green leaves grew out of the tender branch, and a flower bud grew out of the base of the leaf.
The flower bud grew at a speed visible to the naked eye and turned from green to red. The gorgeous red color continued to deepen and change, and it was divided into several layers. Finally, a touch of purple at the tip of the flower bud was subtle but eye-catching.
When the flower tube slowly tilted up, the rainbow-colored flower slowly opened, and a snow-white flower made of more than 20 petals bloomed. Whether it was the petals or the stamen, they were all trembling, gorgeous and moving.
However, the Epiphyllum only bloomed once.
This sentence flashed through a certain someone's mind. A touch of green emerged from the bottom of the stamen and gradually grew bigger and darker, growing into a huge fruit. The petals and buds didn't wither and fall, but as if they were absorbed by the fruit, they kept wrinkling and shrinking toward the root.
This fruit of the World Tree, which looked no different from a cocoa fruit in appearance but was larger than a baby's head, broke away from the branch. Countless vines formed something like a net, holding the fruit and rolling it forward until it came in front of Lin.
"Human, this is my last reward. Accept it. "Fasnath's voice was slightly different from before, sounding a little weak.
Looking at the thing in front of him, Lin swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
In the knowledge of ordinary people, the fruit of the World Tree was actually a fruit that strengthened one's body. It was also produced by the World Tree, and its size was not fixed, but the largest would not exceed the size of an egg. Of course, this fruit couldn't be grown. It was just a kind of food. However, the concept of this fruit was completely different from the "fruit" in front of him.
Speaking of the seeds of the World Tree, he had one that Lahti had given him, which she had condensed herself. However, that was only a seed, and in terms of size, it was only the size of a fist. It was on a completely different level from the fruit in front of him.
The difference between the two was that after the seed of the World Tree was planted, it needed some luck to germinate. Only when the right time, place, and people were in place would the World Tree be born. However, the fruit could definitely germinate, because it had the nutrients that the World Tree needed to grow. That world bubble was the road sign and all kinds of means needed to connect to a new world.
If the mother tree didn't give a road sign to a new world, then the flesh and skin of the fruit would be absorbed by the seed like a flower. This was because the seed needed everything that could be used as nutrients to preserve its vitality and wait for the moment of germination.
However, by doing so, the mother tree was like crippling its own power. Looking at how many worlds it had originally connected to, after giving out one, it lost a fraction of its strength.
Moreover, Fasnath didn't just lose an eighth of his strength in one breath to form a fruit. More importantly, the balance of his original core magic array was broken at this moment. He had to adjust his state and restore his balance before he completely lost control. Therefore, right now, Fasnath's performance in all aspects seemed somewhat powerless.
Lin looked at the thing in front of him bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, why do you have to do this?"
Fasnath said, "A long time ago, I had the idea of taking a step back and re-stabilizing my foundation. In the process of another advancement and recovering my strength, I was looking for an opportunity to reach the next level. But in the past, I had a feeling that as long as I did this, I could only welcome death. Until today, I had the ability to do so. This is what you gave, so this is what you deserve. "
Being half-forced to hold the fruit of the World Tree, Lin's face wasn't just bitter, but also the feeling of holding a hot potato. Perhaps hot potato wasn't enough to describe it. Right now, Lin felt like he was holding a fatty and a little boy in each arm, two atomic bombs that shone brilliantly at the end of World War II.
A certain person was thinking of excuses and how to return the thing in his hand. Fasnath first gave the order to leave and said, "Leave, human Mage. In three days, I will attend the high seat meeting. But right now, I really need to hibernate, and I have a lot of things to do. You should understand. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the light in the large hole in the heart of the tree dimmed a lot. And at a speed visible to the naked eye, the space rapidly shrank. It was a rather obvious and practical way to get rid of a guest. If one didn't want to be squeezed to death in here, they could only run.
As for whether there was a door or not, it didn't restrict this human Mage at all. Fasnath simply didn't consider this problem. But Lin just wanted to shout, "Give me the full set of spatial folding technology, it's better than this hot potato in my hand."
Before the space in the heart of the tree completely closed, Lin hugged the fruit of the World Tree in one hand and grabbed Mailt Fah in the other like holding a football. He used Flash to return to his home in the Holy City, Estali. Cassette Cutting was a step slower, but still used Flash to summon it back.
The location of his return was next to the wine bar in the small reception room, where a flat piano was scheduled to be placed. Because the piano hadn't been built yet, this place was usually empty, which was convenient for teleportation.
But as soon as he returned, Lin saw a mess. The bottles and jars on the various wine cabinets at the bar were smashed to the ground. He remembered that not long ago, when the Demon Prince wreaked havoc, this place suffered a disaster. Now it suffered again, it could be said that fate was full of misfortunes.
Several apprentices and helper Vana were cleaning up. The two fat boys were coaxed to the side by Augustus to avoid being stabbed by the fragments or stuffed into their mouths. When they saw a certain Mage hugging an unknown object in one hand and a female Dark Elf in the other, he looked rather like a bandit returning to his stronghold after robbing something and a woman. The two sides looked at each other in dismay.
Cassette Cutting, who came back a step slower, said boldly: "Oh, you inhumane guy with the opposite sex, why did you leave me there?" Sensing the strange atmosphere, Cassette Cutting inexplicably added: "Well, actually, we didn't just come back from a robbery, would you believe it?"
