Chapter 37: The Wishing Candle

Beth initiates a city-wide sacrifice.

But it wasn't as smooth as Dean Pound thought.

Beth was more forced to initiate the sacrifice in advance.

Time moves forward.

Before Thor left the Inverted Tree, Char had already arrived in the Heart of the Tree due to the special nature of the space.

The moment Char came in, Beth discovered the other party's presence.

"You came back on your own. I thought it would take until the last minute for you to show up. ”

The voice was hoarse, without the slightest emotion.

If it weren't for Char's clear knowledge that she had completely offended Beth, I'm afraid she would have thought that the other party was really calm.

Char is still human, but her body is glowing slightly.

This light illuminates the entire space in the heart of the tree.

Bestana at the bottom is also illuminated.

She lay naked on a suspended hollow witchcraft circle.

Naked Bethtana wasn't really naked, as she was currently left with only a few bits of fair skin on her cheeks, neck, and limbs, and everything else had become dense roots.

The roots are almost thousands, bent and hung like silk on a loom.

There are just as many fine hairs on the roots.

It seems to be the product of combining the characteristics of human skin with the roots of a tree.

Signaling that Bestana doesn't need to see Char to sense his arrival.

At the same time, Char is also aware of this.

He knew better that Bethtana relied on these hairy roots to control every spirit in the Inverted Tree.

When they are not needed, the spirits will remain motionless according to the design, or act in a single repetition.

But in Bethana's time of need, those spirits could be turned into murderous weapons at any time.

He is extremely loyal to his master and never stops treating his enemies.

Until the last vestiges of their spirits are depleted.

Char understands this too well, so he will fight for soul destruction and take the risk of stealing the tree seeds.

He didn't tell him that the Thor tree was inside him.

For one, it was the only thing he could do against Bethana. With this species, Bethtana would be concerned about whether he would destroy the species if he was forced to do so.

Second, Char does not have the ability to take out the tree seeds in his body for the time being. Because he doesn't really have control over the species.

However, if Char can really defeat Bestana, who is restrained in his actions at this time, he doesn't mind fulfilling the deal with Thor and handing over the tree seeds to the other party.

"Bethana, I'm back. I know that you are in a very bad state at the moment, and even if you force the sacrifice, there is a high chance that you will fail. So I'll come back, and if you give me a promise, I'll give you back the tree so that your chances of success will be a little higher. ”

For some reason, when Char was saying these words, he suddenly remembered Sol, who had traded with him before, and the expression on his face unconsciously learned Sol's movements and demeanor.

Bethtana was indeed weak, and she knew that Char knew this, so she didn't hide it.

"What commitment do you need?"

Char puffed up his chest, "I'm going to become a branch of the inverted tree like Pound, and then I can work for you, but you have to set me free while I can survive on my own." ”

"Yes, you can come here. After I take out the tree seed from your body, I will give you a branch for you to shelter in. ”

Bestana was so crisp, Char hesitated.

"How is it different from what I thought it would be?"

But despite the uneasiness, Char had no way out.

Like a warrior who sees death as if he were at home, he flew towards Bethana.

The dense roots took the initiative to split to both sides, making way for Char.

Char continued to fly forward, "I don't believe you, I need to sign a witchcraft contract. You and I are both spirits, but I have a contract here that I can sign without magic. ”

Char said, and suddenly an extra candle appeared in his palm.

This candle is white and unremarkable, just like the white wax used by ordinary nobles every day.

As soon as the candle was taken out, it was automatically lit, the flame was stable, and it was not known what was burning.

Bethana, who didn't care much about it, also focused.

The witchcraft props that can be kept in the spirit body are definitely not simple.

The two tendrils suddenly rolled towards Char, as if they were about to snatch the candle from his hand.

Char hurriedly shouted: "Don't move, or I'll leave immediately......"

But as soon as he was halfway through his sentence, all his attention was drawn to the tendrils in front of him, when a man with a black beard suddenly appeared behind him, and this man grabbed Char from behind and bit him on the shoulder.

Char immediately understood that Bethtana had no idea of making a deal with him at all, and had long been prepared for an ambush behind her.

He was about to break free from the person behind him, but he noticed a numbness in his shoulder.

The numbness quickly spread down her shoulders, and Char immediately felt that her consciousness was beginning to dull.

He turned his head with difficulty, and finally saw the appearance of the man behind him.

Char had never seen this man in the Handstand Tree.

His face was full of beards, and where he didn't have a beard, his skin was all festering.

I don't know how a person can make his soul look like this.

The man who ambushed Char was naturally the soul of Wilde who was taken to the space in the heart of the tree by Bethana.

Although he was very dissatisfied with Bethana's direct withdrawal of his soul without saying a word, but at this point, he was powerless to resist, so he could only help her restrain Char according to Bestana's request.

When he bit Char's shoulder, he urged his spirit body with all his might, so that the spiritual fluctuations were transmitted into Char's spirit body.

At the same time, he also passed on the elven pollution that lurked in his spirit body.

Char, who had just come into contact with the elf pollution, was unexpectedly restrained by this domineering pollution, and for a while he could no longer resist anything other than desperately resisting the pollution that entered the spirit body.

Wilde immediately escorted Char and continued to fly to Bethtana in the center of space.

"Hurry up, although the elven pollution is overbearing, it is not completely irresistible."

Char was sent to Bethtana, with horror in her eyes.

However, when the distance between the two was less than three meters, and Bestana had already begun to scan Char's spirit, Char, who had been struggling with numbness, suddenly blew into the white candle in his hand.

Because his face was numb, Char's breath was very weak.

Logically speaking, such air currents can hardly shake the flames.

But Char just blew it softly, and the white candle that burned steadily suddenly went out.

Then the candle in Char's hand disappeared, and in the next second, it turned into a transparent crystal bottle.

The crystal bottle contains an equally transparent liquid that looks like the most ordinary spring water.

Before the others could react, Char's fingers gently flicked the cork off the crystal bottle.

Immediately, a sweet aroma spreads.

That is, when Char smelled this breath, the numbness on his body quickly faded.

It's like you've met some nemesis.

The most shocking thing was Wilde behind him.

Because he also smelled the smell of the bottle of spring water that suddenly appeared.

And the pollution of the elves that had plagued him for many years was so easily subsided under the influence of this sweet taste!

Wilde immediately became agitated, and despite the fact that Bethstana was next to him, blurted out, "What's that bottle of water?" ”

Char didn't speak, but pressed his backhand on Wilde's face, and the light flashed, and the other party was instantly moved outside the space in the center of the tree.

Char couldn't kill Wilde right away, but he had the heart of the tree and could throw the unexpected place out first.

After finishing Wilde, Char immediately rushed to Bethtana with an extra white tooth sealed in gray amber in her hand.

Bestana didn't pay any attention to Char's non-threatening teeth at all, just stared at the crystal bottle in Char's other hand, and suddenly shouted like a madman: "Wishing candle!" You've just got a wishing candle! The legendary curse is in your hands! ”
