Chapter 139: The Unknowable Truth
Jacqueline was amazed, and she noticed something wasn't quite right.
The Treants here don't seem to be in good health, how to say, they don't look as leafy as the Treant Guards Jacqueline had seen before, most of them are like the Treants who led the way for Jacqueline, most of them have yellow leaves on the branches, and they are not very healthy.
"Please, what do you call it?" Jacqueline asked, stepping forward, to the treeman leading the way.
"Sycamore, Brooke. The Treant was clearly still very wary of Jacqueline, and he was cautious when he answered.
"I want to ask the question, why don't people feel so well here? I mean health, could it be that there is some epidemic recently?"
"The earth, the elemental elements of the earth have rioted, and many of us here have contracted disease overnight. Brooke the Treant sighed, "I don't know why this happened, it's the first time I've been in such a situation when I'm so old." ”
"But I've seen a lot of tree people who are still healthy. Jacqueline continued to raise her doubts.
"They are different, they were born for war, their vitality is much stronger than ours, and the impact on this earth-elemental riot has not been revealed so quickly. Brooke patiently explained to Jacqueline.
"Earth Elemental Riot......" Bringing up the topic, Jacqueline thought of her friends.
Jacqueline didn't know why the puppet king would do such a drastic thing to Jane and Maori Sakura, but it seemed that every time the puppet king made a move, the world would fall into an ominous atmosphere, which made her very worried.
"Can the five-colored flower cure such a disease?" asked Jacqueline curiously.
On the surface, it is inferred that Brooke is so anxious to buy five-color flowers, probably because of this.
"Five-colored flowers are not used to treat weakness. Brooke bluntly dismissed Jacqueline's idea, "It's for the treatment of madness." ”
"Madness!?" Hearing this name, Liu Pu seemed a little uneasy.
"What's wrong?Liu Pu?" Jacqueline felt strange at Liu Pu's strong reaction.
"No, it's just that I haven't heard of this disease for a long time, how can your daughter get this disease?" Liu Pu shook his head, and instead raised his doubts to Brooke.
"Who knows......" Brooke sighed, the bitterness on his face was even stronger, and said, "You know, our treemen have a very strong self-healing ability, even several times stronger than orcs, plus we are not susceptible to infection, so we don't have our own doctors, and there is no way to deal with such a rare disease, but fortunately, madness appeared once hundreds of years ago, and many people remember and know that five-colored flowers can alleviate this disease." ”
"Is the Treant crazy?" However, Scarlet Snow, who heard everything in Jacqueline's summoning space, had a worried look on her face.
Jacqueline and Liu Pu looked at each other for a moment, and without saying anything, they followed Brooke into the transparent tent where he lived.
Inside the tent, Jacqueline saw a small tree man in the corner wrapped in countless rattans, and she struggled desperately to break free, but her strength was too little to move.
In fact, this Treant is not small, at least compared to Jacqueline, she is about the height of two Jacqueline, and she is only small because of the comparison to Brooke and the other Treant Guards.
Jacqueline saw the mad blood red in the little treeman's eyes, which scared her a little.
When Brooke saw the little tree man like this, he couldn't help but sigh and shake his head, and then hurriedly took out the five-colored flower from his bosom.
Brooke put the five-colored flower in a large vat made of stone next to him, smashed the herb with his hand as a hammer, and then poured water into the vat, and then stirred it constantly, trying to get the essence of the medicine into the water.
Jacqueline, who was on the side, was dumbfounded, this stone water tank might not be able to move even ten Jacquelines combined, but Brooke easily lifted it, just like an ordinary human would do with an empty wooden barrel.
Jacqueline was also surprised to find that most of the decorations in Brooke's home were stone, and wood or ceramics were rare.
Jacqueline then understood the reason - after all, the tree people are huge and powerful, they are easy to accidentally break those fragile things, for this consideration, they chose stone furniture, one is hard enough, if the tree man does not really want to destroy, the stone furniture is difficult to be damaged by them, and the second is that the stone furniture is durable, after all, the tree man has a long life, and if you use stone furniture, it can be used for many years, which is much better than metal furniture.
After stirring vigorously for a while, Brooke felt that it was almost enough, and then he sprinkled the potion on the little tree man wrapped around the vines.
Such a large tank of water is enough to drench the entire little treeman.
The little tree man began to slow down after being soaked with the potion, and then slowly, slowly closed his eyes, and finally only the sound of a slight sleepy breath remained.
"Hopefully she will recover soon. Brooke let out a long sigh of relief when he saw the potion work.
Jacqueline looked at the sleeping Treant curiously, and said, "What is the cause of the madness?
Brooke looked at the human maiden, not sure why she was interested in such a question, but since the other party was his guest, he was obliged to answer Jacqueline's question.
"The last time, about 800 years ago, I don't know, I'm just over 200 years old. Brooke touched his head, which had few leaves left, and explained to Jacqueline in the gentle voice of a tree man.
"It is said that many of the Treants contracted such a disease, and that even Her Royal Highness was unable to cope with the terrible plague, and the Princess later asked a friend to help solve the problem. Brooke looked at Liu Pu, as if he wanted the other party to take over his topic, "There was no follow-up after the incident, and this incident naturally faded in everyone's memory, and the reason is not even clear now." ”
Liu Pu finally understood why Brooke looked at him like this, maybe this tree man thought she was a high-ranking elf, so maybe he would know the truth of the matter.
If in normal times, the tree man has few desires and no curiosity, and he would not want to understand a matter so deeply, but now that the matter is related to the safety of Brooke's daughter, he will be so concerned.
But Liu Pu could only shake her head helplessly, she had indeed heard of "madness", but that was only heard, it happened before she was born, she couldn't understand more detailed content at all, and her knowledge was not much better than Brooke's.
"The truth of this matter may only be known to Her Royal Highness the Princess. In the end, Liu Pu could only smile helplessly and respond to the treeman's gaze.
