Chapter 176: The Big Tree

It's early winter in Campedara, and even yesterday there was snow in the sky.

However, in the backyard garden of the manor, the flowers are blooming brightly and fragrant.

Xia looked at the scene that appeared in front of him, his heart was amazed, and his mood suddenly improved, and the dullness accumulated after many days of rushing was swept away.

"How's that, isn't it pretty?"

Corlia seemed very satisfied with her reaction, and there was some excitement on her little face, as if she was sharing her most precious treasure, wanting to get a few words of praise and appreciation from her mouth.

"Well, it's pretty!"

Xia stroked the little girl's head and nodded sincerely: "Flowers that can bloom on such a cold day are all beautiful!"

Hearing this, the little girl Kelia immediately snorted a few times with satisfaction, and her little expression was extremely proud.

"Kolia, who planted these flowers?"

Xia took a deep breath, only to feel the fragrance in his nose, and his mind was also relaxed.

"This seems to be a ...... planted by my great-grandfather."

The little girl looked a little uncertain, but she said it anyway.

Great-grandfather?

That legendary mage Raj Doll Kapkris? he still has such a mind and hobby...... This is a bit of a surprise!

Natsu was a little surprised in her heart, she had thought that he should prefer to cultivate some magical plants and something that would be valuable for experimental research, like the 'astrologer' Shamil Rhodes she had seen...... Well, I also ate a magic fruit cultivated by the other party, which is said to be very precious.

"Sister Xia, I want to listen to your story!"

Coria didn't care much about this, grabbed her hand and shook it all the time, urging: "I want to listen to a good, nice story!"

"Okay, I'll tell you!"

Xia was a little helpless by this little girl, and didn't continue to think about it, so she took her to sit on the bench under the big tree in the garden, and told her a wonderful fairy tale from a certain world that is suitable for children.

With the accumulation of knowledge of the two worlds, she will naturally not be stumped by such a small thing, and she can still deal with a curious little girl.

And Coria quickly quieted down, listening attentively to her narration, sometimes happy, sometimes nervous, and full of interest as the story progressed.

However, Xia noticed that a certain middle-aged man who was loyal to his duty appeared in a corner of this backyard garden, although he did not come to disturb, he clearly paid attention to the situation here.

Perhaps, the temptations and clichΓ©s she made on the way here, as well as the two revolverss she was wearing, made this man of extraordinary strength not feel at ease with her, right?

In this regard, Xia just smiled and ignored him.

β€œ...... In the end, Snow White and the prince live happily ever after, living happily carefree. ”

Soon, she finished telling the little guy a fairy tale, and the ending of the story was naturally a happy ending that is common for this kind of story.

After listening to this story, Coria looked a little excited, and a little wanted to stop talking.

"What's wrong?"

Xia saw the little guy's entanglement and asked her.

"Sister Xia, is there really a magic mirror that can speak?"

The little girl was a little curious and couldn't help but ask her.

"Of course, I promise you!"

"But, but ......"

Coria's face turned red, and she seemed a little embarrassed: "I've seen a lot of my great-grandfather's magic items, and it seems that none of them can speak?"

"Uh......"

Xia was a little caught off guard, and it was no wonder who made her now in a fantasy world with magic.

"Well, because it's a very special magic mirror, and there's only one in the whole world!"

Finally, she said categorically, in a very affirmative tone.

Anyway, this story came from her mouth, she said that there is, that is, she herself has the final right to interpret, well, yes, that's right!

"I see......"

Hearing her words, the little girl was immediately convinced, and her eyes were very longing: "I really want to see it, the magic mirror that can talk!"

β€œ...... Haha, yes, I'd like to take a look too. ”

Someone with a weak heart smiled a little unnaturally, and she didn't know why this little guy was interested in that mirror, she raised her head, looked at the lush branches above her head, and forcibly changed the subject: "Eh, this big tree, it seems... It's been a long time, huh?"

As she spoke, she was slightly stunned, looked at the big tree planted in the middle of the entire backyard garden, and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Because, when she said it casually, it seemed to hit the nail on the head.

Even in the cold winter, the tree is still green.

Its roots, coiled together like a dragon, with a thick trunk and lush foliage, are so green that it is hundreds of years old.

But that's not really why she cares.

It was this leafy tree that gave her a very special feeling, as if it was different from any tree she had seen before, but she couldn't say what it was.

It's just that intuitively, it feels a little subtle, which makes her care more and more about it.

"Big trees?"

Coria also looked up at the tree, wondering why this good-looking sister was suddenly interested in it.

"Well, this tree...... It feels a little weird to me...... It's a bit ......."

Natsu's brows furrowed slightly, trying to grasp that hint of familiarity in his heart.

"Probably...... Because it's a magic plant, right?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out not far from them.

Xia turned his head to look, only to see an old man appear there at some point and walk towards them.

"Magic plants?"

"Yes, it was magically bred by my long-deceased wife and planted here with her own hands. ”

The old man with pale sideburns also looked up at the big tree, and said with emotion: "Back then, it was just a small sapling, but in a blink of an eye, it has grown so tall now...... Oh, perhaps, it's just like the magic mirror you just mentioned, unique. ”

β€œ......”

It seems that this legendary mage has also heard his nonsense......

Xia was a little embarrassed in his heart, but he didn't think that the other party would suddenly appear here, and he didn't even say hello.

"Master Raj, Master Samir Rhodes asked me to say hello to you!"

She hurriedly stood up, bowed slightly to the old man, and greeted sincerely.

Yes, of course she saw the identity of this old man.

Because, the calmness and composure of the other party, and a kind of vastness similar to that of the 'astrologer' Shamil Rod, full of depth and wisdom, it is estimated that there is no one else except for a legendary mage who wants to come over to visit.

Sure enough, he is a legendary figure who has lived for nearly two hundred years...... None of them are simple!

She felt the faint aura emanating from the other party's body, and praised it in her heart.

"Hello, Witch's Hand visitor!"

Raj Doll Kapkris looked at her deeply, his expression was still gentle, and he responded in a friendly tone: "Welcome!"
