Chapter 16: The Tree of Life
In the church, Lily was waiting in the main hall out of her duty, and when she saw Doro and Elsie coming in, she ran over happily again: "Doro!"
Elsie hadn't been here for a few days, and seeing the little girl back to her usual appearance, he thought that Doro must have apologized to her when he came to find Enzo.
Doro still stretched out a hand to slightly stop Lily's rush to her body, Lily was not angry, she turned her head and smiled at Elsie and said, "El... Xi: How are you? ”
It seems that the sincerity of the apology should be very sufficient, and even the attitude towards her is much better.
"Hello, Miss Lily. Elsie smiled politely in return.
"The divination room?" said Doro.
Lily nodded, "There won't be anyone bothering the master, right?" Lily pouted dissatisfiedly.
Elsie was a little embarrassed, it seemed that the two of them came over today to trouble the Great Magician.
"I know. Doro nodded, and then walked to the side hall along the way last time, Elsie hurriedly said goodbye to Lily and followed, Doro waited for her a few steps, and then turned his head and said, "Don't worry, your business is not troublesome." ”
Knowing that Doro wouldn't deceive people, Elsie was relieved of some guilt.
"Master Enzo, what is he majoring in?" asked Elsie on the way.
"Time," Doro replied.
"Time? Isn't that a rare talent! Breaking through to the Great Magician in this realm, Master Enzo is truly remarkable. Elsie sighed.
"Does he have time control?" Elsie didn't know much about it, and when she thought of time, she immediately thought of it.
"Not really. Enzo is indeed a rare time magician, but his most outstanding ability is not the manipulation of time in a broad sense, but divination. Doro began to explain.
"Divination, is foresight, can he see the future?" is more enviable than manipulating time.
"It can't be observed arbitrarily, there are side effects. This was the end of Doro's explanation, and the two of them had reached the door of the divination room.
It was the first time they saw the knock and summons, and after the two came in to greet Enzo, the latter already smiled kindly: "I know what you are here for." ”
Strange to say, the loving smile on Enzo's young face did not make Elsie feel disagreeable, but unusually kind.
"Excuse me. Dorodo patted Elsie on the shoulder and nudged her down.
Elsie was a little stunned, she was a little nervous.
"It's okay kid, I'm just helping you induce you to perceive the elements that are close to you more clearly. Enzo's seductive voice made Elsie let her guard down, and she relaxed.
"Come here, kid. ”
Elsie followed Enzo's instructions and walked over to him.
"Close your eyes. ”
Elsie complied, and it was pitch black before her eyes, except for Enzo's voice.
"Now, use your spirit, use your heart to perceive your surroundings. Then came a simple incantation.
In human cultivation, what the two of them are doing now is a very common behavior, after the child discovers the talent of magic, he will begin to learn simple spells in the academy system, and after breaking through the third order, he can begin to perceive the elements close to him and discover the direction of his growth.
It is not easy for children to let go of their spirits, and they need some simple guidance from a mature mage.
Hearing this, Elsie gradually calmed down, and after a while, she couldn't even hear Enzo's voice, as if she was the only one around.
She felt as if a small cluster of white flames had sprung up in her mind, and then there was a slight sound in the world, but not a human voice, but a natural sound, the soft chirping of flowers, birds, fish and insects, the flow of water, the shaking of leaves, and the passing of the wind. Only hear its sound, but not its scenery.
Elsie could only stare intently at the flames in the empty darkness, getting closer, brighter, more and more blurry...
Suddenly, the surrounding glass seemed to be broken, as if breaking some barrier, the sound of the surrounding nature suddenly became clear and loud, she opened her eyes suddenly, only to see the surrounding grass, trees, mountains, flowers, birds, wind and moon, everywhere is a vibrant scene, she turned around, but found that there was a wooden wall in front of her, she looked left and right, could not see the end, looked up, the wall penetrated into the sky, and could not see clearly. The world seems to be divided, with nature on one side and wooden walls on the other.
She reached out to touch the wood, but before she could touch it, she was interrupted by a soft call: "Son, Elsy, wake up!"
In an instant, everything around her was reduced to pieces, the sound was gone, and it was pitch black in front of her, and she found that her eyes were still closed.
Enzo's voice was still in his ears, and Elsie opened his eyes and saw Enzo's face, turning his head from side to side, and Doro was looking at him with his back against the door and his hands crossed over his chest.
Enzo saw her open eyes and asked, "Son, what do you see?"
Elsie looked thoughtful: "Many... A beautiful place, full of green mountains and trees, lots of small animals, and a big wooden wall..."
"Wooden wall?" Enzo interrupted.
"Well," Elsie nodded, "the grain of the wood, it's so long and tall that I can't see the end." ”
Enzo laughed when he heard this: "Son, it's not a wooden wall, it's a tree of life. ”
"The Tree of Life?" is that a tree? Elsie looked surprised, his left and right eyes could hardly see the end of the trunk, how big was this tree?!
Enzo, who had bent slightly to speak to her eye level, stood up and looked down at her and said, "Now I understand, child, the elements closest to you should be the wood element and the life element. ”
"Wood... Life?" Elsie muttered to herself.
"The Tree of Life is a symbol of wood, and at the same time, it has an infinite vitality of life, and wherever it is, everything is alive. Its image is a huge tree that stands tall in the sky. Enzo explained with a smile.
"You can see its symbolism, which shows that you are gifted with both elements. ”
Elsie focused on the tree, "Where is the tree of life? "The tree in his mind that he couldn't see the edge left an indelible impression on him.
Enzo shook his head, "The Tree of Life is more of a self-seeded concept in this world, and no one knows where it exists. ”
"But I think," Enzo lowered his head and tapped Elsie's nose with his fingertips, smiling peacefully, "maybe reach the peak of the realm of life and wood, and maybe find a way to meet it." ”
Elsie didn't think how powerful she would be in the future, she thought to herself, since she was talented in this area, it should be easier to learn and cast healing spells, why did her previous small healing techniques fail so much.
It's puzzling.
......
After leaving the church, Doro had no intention of taking Elsie back immediately. She had been at home for too long, and she had been depressed every day for the past few days, and Doro wanted her to come out and relax.
Halfway through, Elsie suddenly remembered something, a horse to be exact: "Where's Atu?"
Doro really didn't pay attention to this, he frowned: "I guess it's still in the previous hotel." "A horse is worth a lot, and the boss shouldn't just let it go.
"Don't you go and pick it up now?"
Elsie looked at Doro with some pleading, Doro had never refused her, he nodded, and the two of them turned around and walked towards the city gate.
