PS: Thanks Jsfish for the tip and the monthly pass for Ten Leaf Sativa

"Stranger, welcome. ”

"It's human, hee-hee, I haven't seen it in a long time. ”

"Hey, is this human? Why isn't it better than Olga?"

"Omera, come and see, you said you've seen humans, isn't that true?"

......

Except for the first sentence, which seems to be old and slow, like a wise old man with gray hair and countless years, the following is a chaotic voice like a bird's soft chirping, and the voice is immature, which is completely the voice of an innocent child.

Beliff was not surprised by this, he stepped out of the group first, and walked forward a few steps alone.

"Hello, Honorable Grand Duke Mutombo, Belif salutes you. ”

Belif stepped forward and bowed, respectfully.

"It's you, little one. ”

The huge trunk of the tree, which was dozens of meters high, began to tremble, bringing a child-like exclamation, and then I saw the trunk begin to turn, aiming a torso with fewer branches and leaves at Bellive, and then two thin slits slowly opened on this side of the trunk, revealing the gray-white eyelids inside, forming an old face.

The branches on both sides of the trunk also trembled, like two huge arms, closing forward, and the palm-like branch part of the arm at the front of the arm held a large stack of huge leaves, which looked a bit like a boxy king-sized book, making the tree look like an old man reading a book.

On the arms-like branches were a number of brown round fruits the size of a child's fist, but they were not connected to the branches. Instead, they have their own little hands and feet, jumping around with the shaking of the branches. From time to time, there were exclamations and giggles, apparently from which the noisy childish voices had been made.

Gehr, who has good vision, can clearly see that the surface of this fruit has the face of a human child. The red lips and dark pupils are cute and a little weird.

What's even more peculiar is that they also hold a stack of leaves like a big tree, which makes Gehr feel a little ridiculous, is it that even plants are going to start learning knowledge this year?

"How many years? Let me think that after you left, Minos came three times, and Edika came seven times......" Grand Duke Mutombo hesitated, as if to reminisce.

"Grandpa is stupid, obviously five times. ”

"Yes. That is, Uncle Minos also brought something particularly delicious, what is it called......"

"It's a fish, it's a fish. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, it's a fish. ”

"Aunt Edika is the most angry and never brings anything with her. ”

"It's, it's just, she won't be welcome the next time she comes. ”

......

The child-like fruits immediately chirped and pointed out the mistake of Grand Duke Mutombo. This behavior was exchanged for the old and cheerful laughter of the big tree: "Ha Luha, yes, five times, old." Memory is just bad. Ah, little one, your name is Bei...... Shell ......"

"Belriff. Belif added with a smile.

"Yes. That's right, it's Belriff. It's been ten years since you last came, and you're getting older faster than I am. ”

"Your Excellency, Duke. I'm just a human being, and it's been twenty years for me, and it's been a long time for a human being. Belif said with a smile.

"Twenty years?oh, you're back to Kunak, no wonder time is different, Kunak and Veris don't have the same speed of time, what is that called...... Dimension...... Dimension ......"

"It's dimensional, grandpa forgot again. ”

"That's right, it's just that the time dimension is inconsistent, little bastards, your grandfather just can't remember it for a while, not forget. Grand Duke Mutombo replied to Belif as he shook its branches and leaves in exchange for another crisp laugh of childlike fruit, "It seems that time there is twice as fast as our Verris, but the Void Passage seems to be a little unstable lately, and it is not easy for you to come back." Belif, what is the matter with you coming to me again?"

"I have come this time to go to the Altar of Gumur, and I hope that you will show me a safe path. Belif said respectfully.

"Altar of Gumur, I remember, I know the place, but it's in the hands of some disgusting fellows who smell it now. The Grand Duke of Mutombo suddenly shouted loudly, and a loud wave rolled up a strong wind, and Bellive's clothes kept rattling.

"I can tell you, but O Bellive, you should know my principle of exchange. ”

Belif nodded: "I understand, knowledge exchange knowledge, I'm ready." ”

"Good. Grand Duke Mutombo shook the branches and leaves at the top of the tree in appreciation, and then said, "Who has been to the Altar of Gumur recently?"

The children on the tree immediately chattered about it.

"Grandpa, I've been. A crisp girl's voice immediately rang out.

"It's Avril. Grand Duke Mutombo's branch arm shook slightly: "Then come here." ”

A fruit child ran out and climbed like a nimble little monkey to the book of leaves in the hand of Grand Duke Mutombo.

A burst of green light flashed, and the fruit child melted into the leaf book as if it had melted.

Grand Duke Mutombo closed his eyes, and the rest of the fruit children were also rare and silent, except for the rustle of the breeze passing by, it was unusually quiet for a while.

Beliff didn't rush, just waited quietly.

After a while, Grand Duke Mutombo opened his eyes again, and the fruit child, which had been blended into the book of leaves, crawled out and returned to his little companions, to the sound of cheers.

"I've given this safe roadmap as third-level knowledge, and you need to provide the same third-level knowledge in exchange, or six second-level knowledge or thirty-six first-level knowledge, but only for the knowledge I don't know, no problem, right?" Grand Duke Mutombo replied in a deep voice.

"No problem, very reasonable. Belif nodded, motioned to the disciples behind him to bring the box over, and then continued to bow slightly to Grand Duke Mutombo: "It's just that I don't know what knowledge you don't know, so you need to judge for yourself." ”

"Haha Mutombo laughed.

After the disciples opened the box and took out all the books inside, the fruit children rushed down from the trees, and together they picked up a book and began to look through it. When the book was finished, the fruit children, like their companion Avril Lavigne, ran to Mutombo's book of leaves, blended in, and came out again a moment later, continuing to look through the book that had not yet been read.

In this way, the entire three boxes of books were all flipped through in half an hour.

After the last fruit child left the leaf book in his hand, Grand Duke Mutombo opened his eyes, and his voice looked a little tired: "Removing the repetitive and known parts, the book you brought this time can be regarded as a total of one third-level knowledge, three second-level knowledge, and five first-level knowledge. Not only did the tree look tired, but the children seemed to have consumed too much physical strength, and they all lay on the branches weakly, and the noise was no longer before.

"Here's to you. "The Grand Duke of Mutombo's branch swayed, and one of the leaves fell, and was caught by Belif, who was right below. "You have provided more knowledge than you need, and as a principle of equivalence, I have to compensate you for something, do you want knowledge or something else?"

Gehr was standing behind Belif and could clearly see the blade that Belif had caught. The leaves are the size of half a human, one side is emerald green and the other is pale, and there is a very clear black line map on the pale side, and the top area and the bottom are each marked with the name of a black dot - the Gulmur Altar and the Knowledge Secret Realm, compared to the destination Gumur Altar, it is obvious that the Knowledge Secret Realm is where they are now.

Each area on the map between the starting point and the destination has its own annotations of the existence of creatures or indigenous peoples, as well as the range of potential forces, and even its abilities, properties, and particularities, and may be more than a hundred when hastily counted.

Belif looked at it, handed the leaf map to the two cultists, asked them to take it carefully, and then turned to Grand Duke Mutombo and replied with a smile: "I choose other items." ”

"Well, as you wish. Grand Duke Mutombo narrowed his eyes, and then the earth began to shake, but fortunately it was not very high, and they only shook slightly.

A moment later, a section of the roots of the Grand Duke of Mutombo turned over the earth, rose to the ground, and placed the dozen or so things in front of Belif.

"The choice is yours. ”

These items include swords, armor, and ornaments, all of which look exquisite and gorgeous, exuding strong energy fluctuations, and they look like ordinary products at a glance.

Belif looked at it carefully, and finally chose a stone the size of an egg, which was dark and featureless, and if you looked closely, you could find intricate and delicate lines on its surface.

"The Fatamo Alchemy Stone, it's good. Grand Duke Mutombo gave him a thumbs up and took the other items back into the ground that had not been chosen.

"See you then, Your Excellency, Duke. ”

"See you again, little one, and I look forward to seeing you again. ”

"Definitely. ”

After saying goodbye to the Grand Duke of Mutombo, who had already received a satisfactory harvest, Belif turned and prepared to walk out of the road he had come in before.

"Little one...... The little guy with the chains. ”

At this point, Grand Duke Mutombo suddenly spoke again.

Gehr and Camerita turned around, and the two looked at each other, and then Gehr pointed at himself at Grand Duke Mutombo: "It's calling me." ”

"Yes, that's right. Grand Duke Mutombo shook the branch with a smile, "You like my new fruits." (To be continued......)
