Chapter 111: The Awakened Ancient Tree
After the people of the Anya Kingdom left, Dani turned her head to Bran.
"Three powerful lives? Huahua, I understand, you and him are one. She had a playful smile on her face, and then reached out and knocked on the tree beside her. "But what is this tree?"
Bran spread his hands, "A powerful ancient tree with a sense of self." Elves are truly a magical race, and they have transformed the environment and even life forms. The elves give us the ability to absorb and gather mana, and then they push the mana to speed up the effect. An instinctive way of using magic, it's magical.
It's just that our lifespan is limited after all, and it will take a hundred or ten years at most to gather magic power. But unlike trees, they have been gathering and absorbing magic for thousands of years, and this effect is a slow and accelerated process. Now the magic they contain is unimaginably huge. In order to store mana more efficiently, the interior of the tree forms one magic cluster after another. In terms of the total amount of mana, he is the most powerful. β
Bran chuckled, "But the influence of the elves has ended here, they are more like maintaining the house, tending to the trees, and maybe us now." Until the fairy whispers, in order to let me know more, pulled me into the spiritual world. β
Bran patted the big tree beside him hard, raised his voice and said, "Don't sleep, say hello to my Dani." β
With Bran's movements, the tree made a screeching voice, "Hello, ma'am. β
This frightened the people around him, as well as the white wolf. The snow falcon, which rested on this ancient tree, flew directly into the sky, circling around the tree in confusion. Dani looked at Bran and waited for him to continue explaining.
Bran shrugged his shoulders and drew his short knife, which let out a soft thump with a slight thump. Then he said: "Sound is just a phenomenon produced by the vibration of objects, and magic fields can also produce similar vibrations, or directly shake the surrounding air. β
To enhance the effect, Bran reached out and fanned it, while the mana field vibrated the air around him, making a buzzing sound. "Just like that, the sound doesn't need to come through the tongue, so he can speak that way. β
Bran grinned and looked very happy, patting the ancient tree beside him. "I learned a lot from the communication in the spiritual world. When I tried to pass on my knowledge to them, they recorded it, drawing new rings in their bodies.
Then, instinctively, they began to apply some of these abilities and techniques. For example, the way the mana field is perceived, which makes them quick and sensitive to their surroundings. After that, their consciousness begins to become active. β
Bran rubbed the trunk up and down, "The elves transformed him into a home when he was a sapling, and now the inside is not as simple as it seems. Today, thousands of years later, he is more like a magical life in the shape of a tree. It's just that he's always been used to thinking of himself as a big tree. β
Looking at the strange stares cast around him, Bran was a little dissatisfied, "Don't look at me like that. - Well, he's actually a big tree. β
"At the lodge, Whisper noticed the change, and then planted another ancient tree in our castle. Delivered him to me as I was leaving. When these three ancient trees are fully awakened, the elves may be able to awaken more through these ancient trees. β
Dani asked, "Does he have a name?"
"Nope. β
"Why don't you help him come up with a name?"
"I want to observe more, it's an interesting thing. The ancient tree already had enough consciousness that he should be able to determine his name and identity. Now, now that you know, ask him more about whether he is thirsty or not, whether he needs watering, catching insects, etc. β
Someone couldn't help but interject: "Why don't you do this?"
"He said, 'He can tolerate this, as long as I talk to him more.'" With that, Bran sat down under the tree again, and smiled evilly. The ancient tree is now like an oversized baby, and he needs someone to satisfy his curiosity and want to communicate with others constantly. He will share some of the magic in the branches with Bran. Because Bran told him that proper pruning is good for physical and mental health.
......
Just as Bran sat under the tree and chatted with the tree baby every day, something finally began to ferment.
Bran's killing sends a clear message β whoever provokes me, I hit whomever I hit. From any point of view, his actions seem insane. Many of the nobles who wanted to get to the Northland put their actions on hold. At the moment, he's not a partner to work with. No one would have guessed Bran's situation at the time, angry at the tripartite calculations.
The people of the Anya Kingdom went to the Northland City again, and the Clear-Eyed people waited for another conflict between the two sides. But unexpectedly, they came back quietly. Nothing happened, as if it was just for a friendly consultation. Upon her return, Tilry kept a much lower profile.
Things got interesting, and everyone speculated about what happened at that time?
The white-robed men, who had been hiding in the mission, revealed the answer for them. The white-robed people no longer concealed it, and they began to show their power in front of people, giving people a glimpse of the wizard's evolved strength. And when they spoke of the Northlands, they showed awe, respectfully addressing Bran, the Great Wizard.
At this time, the nobles guessed some truths. Both the Dragoons and the royal family are ready to claim the secrets of the wizards of the Northland, so they annoy Bran and invite a massacre. The nobles of the Kingdom of Grimm are beginning to stir.
......
Tilry is now very depressed, the news has been delivered back to China, and he needs to wait for further instructions. It was a conspiracy from beginning to end, and they were taken advantage of without knowing it. The only thing that relieved him was that the conspirators were unlucky.
With her business done, Tyri began to plan for herself. His family also had wizards, who were still trained as knights because of family tradition. He had always believed that after becoming a Knight of Hell, he could also gain great power. Even if it is weaker than the white robes, compared to the uncertainty of the wizard's evolution, the knight is more reliable.
Now he is starting to waver. On the way back, after listening to the constant explanations of the white-robed wizards, he understood. The Great Wizard Bran shows a completely different level of power. If there is such a wizard in the family, it is exciting to think about it.
......
While people were planning how to approach Northland, how to approach Bran, Nils had already begun to act. He watched with a conflicted mood as the servants took care of their bags, and watched his daughter Zoya happily board the northbound carriage. This time, her daughter will go alone to meet her best friend, Bran.
He prayed in his heart for his daughter, may she be safe. In the face of his carefree daughter, he did not say how terrible and dangerous her best friend was. Because he understands that any abnormal emotions are difficult to hide from people like Bran, so letting everything take its course is the best thing to do.
Susan stood beside her husband and asked, "Is that okay?"
"No problem and safe. She didn't know anything, she just went to see her best friend. But her good friend is a great wizard, so when she chats, she always talks about herself, her own worldβthe wizard's world. β
