One flying, the other running, followed the river to the clearing under the statue. Weir gasped for air on his knees.

Wiel noticed that the scenery of the clearing was very different, the most dazzling was in the middle of the clearing, where a white stone tree stood very similar to the painting hanging on the wall, but the proportions were a little smaller. The light shines on it, refracting a gentle light.

All around, the weeds and trees that used to be seen on the gentle slope are gone, and the stone and brick floors are clean and tidy. A constant, substantial light gathers from the surroundings and flows onto the stone statues of trees.

"The sacred tree has not withered, the sacred tree has not withered, it is wonderful, it is wonderful" Winnie flew over and took Will's hand, with tears still on her face, and smiled happily.

"Gollum. The Sacred Tree? Weir swallowed, his mouth feeling dry, "This is the sacred tree?" It looks really holy. ”

"Where there is a sacred tree, the place where the star spirits live, and the light of the sacred tree gives life to the star spirits." Winnie said slowly, "Look at the surrounding enchantments, keeping the darkness out, these are the abilities of the sacred tree. ”

"Is this tree so powerful? It looks like it's just a strange stone sculpture. Ver looked at the sacred tree and looked overhead, "Also, what are you talking about enchantment?" Is it the transparent barrier where I came in? ”

"Don't underestimate the sacred tree, although it was a stone ......carving at first," Winnie said, suddenly her face frozen, and a look of astonishment flashed between her brows. Wait, you came in from outside the barrier? ”

"yes. Didn't you just say that! Wiel replied strangely.

Winnie bit her lip and suddenly flew away from Wiel, with her back to the sacred tree, and shouted, "Stop! Who the hell are you?! ”

"What's going on? I? …… Am I who I am? Weir looked at Winnie blankly, surprised at the changes in Winnie before and after, there was nothing wrong.

"You're not a star spirit, there's no way you can get in here!" As she spoke, Winnie's hands gradually condensed the light fluttering around her, and condensed into a ball of light in her hands.

Will stared at the light with wide eyes, a familiar feeling welling up in his heart. "What I said is true, a ball of light, you brought me in."

"A ball of light? No way! Winnie held up the light that had gathered in her hand.

"Don't, don't be impulsive!"

Will threw the stone hammer on the ground, his hands swinging forward, and explained in a flustered tone.

The light in Winnie's hand gave Vere a feeling of extreme danger. It's like the flash of light that shatters the monster spider.

"Dark crumbs! Die. As if gathering all the strength of her body, Winnie threw the light in her hand at Vere, and a pillar of light shot straight at Vere.

"Don't ......!" Close your eyes and try to block the light in front of you with both hands. After a while, Weir slowly opened his eyes.

The rune on the back of Wiel's hand lit up.

"This is, the pattern of the Prophecy Stone." Winnie dissipated the light in her hand, and suddenly tilted sideways, barely flying in the air. In a voice that only you can hear, she whispered, "I was...... Is that so......"

"I guess I misunderstood you...... I'm sorry, I was too impulsive just now...... I'm sorry. ”

"Hey~ Okay, I accept your apology, that light makes me feel dangerous, don't shoot me with that thing again." Wei Er felt very depressed, "Although I know you don't believe me, I hope you can tell me if there is anything hidden, so that you and I can be open and honest, and there will be no misunderstanding." ”

Winnie shook her head, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but all I can think of is a few words." The darkness has always wanted to destroy the sacred tree and engulf the place where the star spirits live. ”

Ver sat down and took the elven girl in his arms. Winnie's face turned a little pale.

"I can feel that although you are not a star spirit, you have the rune of the prophecy stone in your hand, and you must not be darkness." Winnie's breathing gradually calmed down, "Wiel, you said you came here from the darkness?" ”

"Darkness? Is it dark in the daylight? Will looked up, squinted at the sun hanging high in the sky, and pointed with his hand, "You can't see the sun that big?" ”

Winnie shook her head.

"How is that possible?" Vere looked up and down, incomprehensible.

"Nothing impossible, you just said that you want to go home, your home, in another world?"

"You...... How do you know?! Wille was surprised.

"The world we live in is different, you just try your best to understand, and only in the enchantment of the sacred tree, relying on the power of the sacred tree, what you and I see is the same." Winnie said quietly, "But the sacred tree is about to wither, and I have never seen such a small barrier. ”

"But I can't see any enchantments? Outside is a dense forest. Weir asked, confused.

"Jungle?" Winnie looked up, "I can't see, it's pitch black outside the barrier, I can't see anything." Wiel, please help me. As she spoke, Winnie's voice trembled, "Please, save the sacred tree, and don't let the last home of the star spirit disappear." ”

Seeing that the girl in front of her was on the verge of losing control, Weier tried her best to say softly.

"Don't be in a hurry yet, say something slowly, talk slowly."

Winnie's tears were like a dam bursting, "I'm so scared, Wel, I'm so scared that this place will be swallowed up by darkness, I'm so afraid that the light of the sacred tree will slowly fade. ”

Winnie's red, swollen eyes were watering down with tears as she looked at Vere. "If we don't do something about it, this place will die."

Wiel muttered mentally, [Extinction?] The sun is so big outside that you can't see it? The woods outside, you can't see? Is the world different? What do you mean?! 〕

On the surface, he comforted Winnie again, "No, no, if there is any difficulty, we will find a way together." ”

Winnie shook her head, "I am the Star Spirit, the Sacred Tree is the source of my life, as long as the Sacred Tree is not dead and my Star Soul is not dim and lost, I will not disappear." But it is precisely because of this that I have no way to survive without the Holy Tree, no, I have no way to exist without the Holy Tree Enchantment. ”

"You're not a star spirit, you may know what is outside the barrier, but for me, it's just darkness. And it seems like a long time has passed......"

Will was dumbfounded, "What you see is not the same as what I see?" It's magical. ”

A reluctant smile appeared on the girl's sad face, "If only you said you couldn't see it." No, not at all, it's not that I can't see it, but for me, there is no world where the light of the sacred tree does not shine, can you understand? ”

Winnie held out her hand to gesture something, "How do you go to a place where there isn't?" There, there, for me, is the world that doesn't exist. ”

Weir opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, it was too tongue-twisting.

"Okay, I probably understand, so what is the crisis you are talking about?"

Winnie pointed to the stone carving, "Look at the root system of the sacred tree, there is no starlight at all, and the light of the sacred tree is dimming. ”

"Starlight is the leaves of the sacred tree, and it guides us in the darkness. Only starlight can keep me alive and my star soul from getting lost. ”

“…… Uh"

"Vere, Vere?" Winnie looked at Will, and saw that his eyes seemed to be swirling.

The dazed Wille shook his head, "All in all, you can't get out now, right?" ”

"Yes."

"So where can you go? The ...... you exist of you. Well, where can you be active? ”

"It's within this mountain wall, and no matter how far you go, you can't see it."

Weier's heart flashed, "Mountain wall, this is obviously a valley, okay~" Then Weier reacted.

"Oh, well, this valley, the mountain wall is the barrier of this sacred tree. So, what do you want me to help you? ”

"You can go into the darkness and find the light that is lost in the darkness. More importantly, I want you to help me figure out what's going on outside of the barrier. The girl looked at the sacred tree and gently stroked the stone sculpture with her eyes, and Winnie's expression softened. Winnie looked back at Ver with anticipation in her eyes. "With the Star Soul, you can revive the sacred tree, and let the light of the sacred tree shine on the darkness. You'll help me, won't you? ”

Weir shook his head, "I probably won't be able to help you." ”

"Why? You are the one chosen by the prophecy stone, and you are the one who awakens me. ”

"I don't know what the prophecy stone is, and I haven't thought about it, uh~ wake you up." A look of distress appeared on Will's face, "I'd love to help you." But what can I do? ”

Wille stood up with self-deprecation, spread his arms, and said with some self-defeating, "You see, I don't even have any decent clothes right now. He pointed to his face again, "Like a person in distress, in fact, I am indeed a person in distress." You may not believe it, but I was still sleeping at the airport and woke up to be washed up on the beach. ”

Winnie flew up and looked at him.

"I'm coming from outside, but I don't know the direction without the light." Stretching out his arm, he pointed to the scar on it, "You see, I almost died on the beach just because I was bitten by a snake." ”

Ver pointed to the hammer on the ground again. "I don't know how to survive, I don't even have a decent tool, I walked here from the sea, I don't know how many days, hungry, full. Speaking of which, I haven't had a good night's sleep in a long time, it's a spider, it's a jungle, it's nightmares, and there's no place for me to sleep, I ......"

Not only that, but Ver also complained more than once about the famine ability that came with him, for a person who can't make a fire, walking away with fire and basic tools should be fine, but Vere found that this is not a game world, but a real world, spiders are not as slow and random as in the game, but real monsters, almost killed Veil......

Looking into Winnie's eyes, calm, expectant. Wiel was silent.

"No wonder you look so tired, thank you for pouring out your past to me without reservation." Winnie whispered, "You came here through the darkness with the sigil of the Prophecy Stone. ”

He took Will's hand, "The world that belongs to the Star Spirit is so small that it is about to die, and I have no ability to do anything, it is you who awakened me, and it was you who came here at the last moment when the sacred tree was dying. Don't underestimate yourself, the Holy Tree and the Star Soul have chosen you, this is my fate, why not your fate? ”

"You said that your light group came with you through the darkness, and must have experienced tribulations along the way that I don't know about, but did the tribulations you speak of really wear down your will? At least I look into your eyes, and there is no confusion in your eyes, you know what you are going to do. Isn't it? ”

Abandoning the resentful thoughts in his head, Wille stared at the girl in front of him, "Perhaps, but no matter what the road ahead, I must find my way home." ”

Winnie smiled, "Look, you're finding your way home, maybe the Sacred Tree can help you." ”

"But I'm from another world."

"In front of my eyes, right now, aren't there two worlds?" Winnie's words stunned Will. "Shuttling through the world, as long as the holy tree can be stronger, it is not a problem for the star spirit, as long as you still have the mark of that world on your body."

"Shuttle the world, shuttle the world!"

The answer he was most looking forward to was answered casually, and Will's face turned red, "Can the Holy Tree really let me go home?" ”

"It's a sacred tree of radiance, and this one," Winnie shook her head, "it's so weak, so weak that it's about to wither. You must find the lost Star Soul, and only by condensing the power of the Star Soul here can the sacred tree come back to life. ”

"What should I do?"

"Go and find the Star Souls who are lost in the darkness." Winnie pointed to the top of the valley.

Wiel looked up, "Okay, if I'm just looking for it, I should be okay." ”

Winnie had a smile on her face, like the warmth of a red candle, like the vitality of spring water.

"Then it's decided."

"Well, it's decided."
