Chapter 496: The Room Above
"Don't you have to do anything!" Dolan was very angry, "The sacred tree has said that she is very weak, and you still want her to send you up?"
"What else can I do then?" Lukka looked up, "I can't climb such a tall tower, don't forget, I'm a mage, have you ever seen a mage add a little more strength?"
"What's more?" Shut up and tilted his head, looking a little confused.
Neither it nor Dolan has probably never been exposed to such a thing as a game, and of course has no concept of adding points.
"Anyway, I mean, either you find a way to get me up, or you can wait until I get back on the ship and get enough sleep. Luca said.
"You can use spells!" Dolan retorted.
"I've just absorbed the power of prophecy, and my mana pool is still unstable!" Lukka snapped.
There was a creaking sound from above, and the lifting basket on the outside of the trunk slowly fell.
"Come on. The Sacred Tree said.
"But......," Dolan tried to argue.
"It's okay, I still have that strength. "It's much more expensive to get the sound out than it is to pull this basket, so please don't argue below, and come up and talk about it." ”
"Look, that's what your mom said. Luca said, stepping into the basket.
The upgrade basket, moved by the sacred tree itself, was much smoother and faster than the wood elves pulled up with a winch, and after a few moments, it stopped at the edge of the platform on the level where the safe room was located.
Walking into the tree tower and coming to the door of the safe room, Dolan was about to continue walking up the passage he had opened, when the sacred tree suddenly spoke: "You better not go up for the time being, just here." ”
"Well, I'm too lazy to climb up. Lukka said, stepping into the safe.
Although this room is not cleaned, at least the furniture is still the same. Lukla crossed a chair, dusted off the thick dust, and sat down on it.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" he asked, injecting into the air.
A few leaves floated down from the wooden ceiling above, then fell more and more, swirling between the two empty shelves in the middle of the room, condensing into the shape of a female elf, though the skin still had the texture of green leaves.
"Where time overlapped, I mentioned," said the Sacred Tree, "I saw the reason why the Eternal Flame had its consciousness and left here. ”
"Yes, what is the reason?" asked Luca.
The answer is in the room above. The tree pointed to the top of his head.
"Then you're not going to let us in?" shut up and shouted.
Lukka grabbed its beak: "Don't croak, let her finish." ”
The sacred tree took two steps forward, and countless branches sprouted from the floor, intertwining into the shape of a chair.
She sat down on it and said slowly:
"Well, in my body, apart from the roots, the mist of light that you call the power of prophecy, there is actually another thing that is older than me, but I don't know what it is.
"Unlike the power of prophecy, this ball of light does not respond to me, nor does it move. For more than 2,000 years, I didn't think of it as important, I just let it hang in my canopy and grow higher and higher as I grew. Until one day, the branch it was on needed to be reborn, and when I swapped it for another branch, it shook a little more, allowing its halo to touch the Eternal Flame.
That night, the Eternal Flame began to leap in a different way, escaping from the tower, and by the way, it also struck the Guide Stone away, causing it to sink to the bottom of the sea. ”
Lukka nodded, "It seems that this thing you said is now imprisoned in that room above, right?"
"That's right," replied the Sacred Tree, "and it was only after that time that I discovered that this thing had the extraordinary power to give inanimate objects the ability to think freely. ”
"I guess," Lukka said, shoving Dolan to the tree, "that's where you got your ability to make these branches and make them wood spirits. ”
"Yes, but I'm still too anxious, if I had been more skilled, those of his companions would not have died in the sea. The sacred tree bowed its head.
"No!" Shut up and said suddenly, "weren't there any wood spirits here before this?" Nora could say that they were ancient creatures that had always been present in the Boiling Sea. ”
"There is indeed this wood spirit you are talking about, and I am actually one of them, and the last one. The Sacred Tree said.
"What about the other wood spirits?" Lukka was a little surprised.
"Blight. "Three hundred years ago, the last of my kind I know of withered and died of this disease. Now, I'm probably about to get into this state. ”
Dolan seemed to want to say something, but hesitated for a long time, and finally did not speak.
"In the future, maybe the creature of wood spirits will only exist in those books in the boiling sea. The sacred tree continued.
"Mourning, but if it's just a disease, maybe the alchemist on my ship can help. Lukka said, "It's just that he's still asleep down there." ”
The holy tree thought for a moment, looked up and asked, "When I was trapped, I don't know what happened here. Did someone enter that sealed room up there lately?"
"yes, you branch forced a bunch of us to go in yesterday. Luca said.
"That's right, that power, it seems to be a little active. The Sacred Tree tried to explain, but she didn't know what she was locked in that room.
"Okay, I see. Lukka said, getting up from his chair.
"What are you going to do?" asked Dolan.
"Go and solve the things in the room above, I'll just say, the spiritual power must be here," Lukka said as he walked, carrying his staff, "I just didn't expect that there were two lines of magical energy in a tree." ”
"Can you hold up by absorbing two forces in a row?" asked with his mouth shut and squinting his eyes.
"It shouldn't be a big problem, they're in a safe location. Luca replied.
Indeed, the power of plastic energy that had been activated a long time ago, the power of prophecy that had just been absorbed, and the spiritual power in the room above just occupied the three directions of the spiritual starry sky, separated by the other three systems, and even if they were all active, they would not interfere with each other.
Dolan took a step forward, stood in front of him, and asked with a worried face, "However, if you absorb that power, will it have an impact on others?" For example, me, and the fire spirit who is also activated by this power. Will our consciousness disappear?"
