Behind the sexy tree girl, there are large woods of the same species as her, but those trees are very serious trees, there are no slender trees, and there are no sexy curves.

But those serious trees have the same texture of bark as tree girls, and they bear fruit on them. Ringer withdrew his gaze and looked at the tree girl in front of him.

Oh, by the way, her name is Lorel. When he expressed interest in her fruit and bark, Lorel swayed the branches, as if hesitating.

If you don't agree to this man's request, will he retaliate? Although he didn't seem to have the slightest intention of violent coercion, who knows.

"What do you want my bark for?" She couldn't understand the man's thoughts. She can understand that she wants the fruit, maybe the man wants to ship the fruit out and sell it, but for what?

Ringer spoke frankly about his ideas, the fruit made wine, and the bark made cork.

"Wine? What is that? In order to give Lorel a better understanding of what wine is, Ringer took out a bottle of wine from Succubus Manor, uncorked it, and showed it to him.

The aroma of wine spreads through the forest. Seeing that it was some kind of liquid, Lorel raised a hint of interest and said, "Can you let me try it?" Pour it on the ground and it's fine, and my roots will taste it. Ringer tilted the bottle, and the liquor flowed to the ground, seeping into the soft ground.

Until the bottle is perpendicular to the ground, the bottle is empty. The face on the tree gradually showed an expression of enjoyment.

The branches swayed, the leaves rubbed, and there was a rustling sound. Ringer waited silently.

"Okay, I can grant you what you ask, but I need you to promise me two conditions."

"Please."

"First, don't hurt them. If a tree falls in this forest, the cooperation ends. ”

"Quite a reasonable request, anything else?"

"A portion of the wine must be divided into irrigated land for us to enjoy."

"No problem." Ringer smiled widely.

"I don't have anything else to ask for." Lorell Road. Ringer stepped forward, took a closer look at Lorel's bark, and begged, "Can I peel off a piece of it?" ”

"Please." Lorel said generously. Reaching out and caressing the bark, there was a rough touch in the palm of your hand. After two touches, Ringer drew a square on the bark with his index finger instead, and a square piece of bark fell off.

Under the bark, a white and smooth trunk is exposed, like the delicate skin of a young girl. Ringer was very delicate, leaving no scratches in this delicate area.

Ringer couldn't help but touch it with his fingers, and the touch from his fingertips was smooth, hard, and wet. There were fine droplets of water oozing out, like thin sweat on the girl's skin, moistening Ringer's fingertips.

When Ringer withdrew his fingers, he even brought up a shiny filament. He observed his wet fingers, put them to his nose and sniffed again, and—

"Wow!"

"Huh?" Under the shocked gazes of Lanya and Seria, Ringer put his index finger in his mouth. Ringer turned his head with a puzzled expression.

"Well, what's wrong?"

"You, what are you doing?" Seria stared at his fingers.

"Taste the sap," Ringer said calmly,

"It's a little sweet, do you both want to try it too?"

"No need." The two of them blushed and refused. Ringer's attention turned back to the bark in his hand, which he looked at closely.

It is between three and five centimeters thick, with a density that is just right for a wine stopper and has a natural woody aroma.

It's the perfect material for making cork. He looked at Lorel's bare trunk again and asked, "Miss Lorel, how long does it take for the bark to grow back after it is peeled off?" ”

"Seven months." Ringer was pleasantly surprised to hear this answer. On the other side of the earth, it takes nearly ten years for the bark of the cork oak to grow back, and the trees in this forest only produce more than ten times the output.

The trio returned to the back of Emerald.

"Seria, I want to ask you for something."

"What?" Seria looked at him with a strange expression.

"Use your fists to subdue the wormmen beyond that valley and make them work for me." The bark is peeled and the fruit is picked, all of which require human hands.

Ringer was eyeing the Zerg who lived near the valley.
