Chapter 65:

The wood room was neat, and a refreshing perfume stuffed the air.

It might be mentioned that the construction was not a constructing made from wooden, however reasonably that the wooden itself grew to become the constructing.

“… That sorceress lady from earlier. Who’s she, actually?”

Sentinel Urcil, who had guided the group to the room, requested Lisriel.

Lisriel responded with a clumsy expression.

“I don’t actually know her both. She was an acquaintance of Philip Oswald, my good friend, so I couldn’t simply ask about her.”

Sentinel Urcil didn’t appear to suppose she was mendacity, however there was an uncomfortable ambiance. Lisriel set free a small sigh. It appeared that her favorable impression may need barely diminished after this incident.

“Is there any drawback?”

Castler Morrela, who had been observing the scenario, requested. Urcil shook her head.

“No, it’s nothing. It’s simply that grandma appeared a bit… uncomfortable. I by no means thought she would have any reference to a residing human mage.”

Amidst the uncomfortable ambiance, Janice and Lua have been busy gauging the adults’ reactions.

Nonetheless, Philip quickly returned with Privia and the elder again to the group.

“Urcil, I instructed you to deal with the friends with utmost care. Why are you continue to making the friends uncomfortable right here?”

Seeing that the group was not resting correctly, the elder scolded Urcil urgently. She appeared extraordinarily afraid that Privia’s temper may need worsened.

For the reason that guardian dragon Alves was at present in a state of slumber, there was nobody else who might restrain Privia.

“… I’m sorry.”

“I’ll care for the friends, so that you information these two close to the World Tree. They wish to meet the divine being residing there.”

Urcil was stunned by the Elder Elf’s phrases.

“Sure? People in that place?”

The Elder Elf touched her brow as if feeling dizzy and waved her hand impatiently.

“Don’t be cussed, and transfer shortly.”

Nonetheless, the Elder Elf’s cared for her granddaughter Urcil. She summoned the wind spirit and conveyed some recommendation to Urcil.

‘Be particularly cautious round that mage, as she is a dragon. Don’t defy her intentions. Luckily, she doesn’t appear too intimidating, so she gained’t hurt you. Should you act rigidly and frustrate her with guidelines or one thing…’

Lastly, Urcil’s questions have been all answered.

‘… A dragon?’

She flippantly shivered and turned her trembling gaze in the direction of Privia.

“What are you ? Information us already.”

When Privia grumbled, Urcil was stunned and shook her head quickly like a moist cat.

“Oh, no. I’ll information you straight away.”

She, too, froze like a brand new recruit.

“What’s occurring?”

Lisriel smirked. The elves appeared extra well mannered and disciplined, however she couldn’t have imagined a dragon among the many group she had traveled with to date.

“Ought to we take Lua too?”

Philip steered to Privia.

“Take the kid? Is there a particular motive?”

‘I wish to give her some expertise factors.’

About to reply, Philip hesitated and whispered in Privia’s ear.

“I wish to give her as a lot expertise as doable.”

“Effectively, do as you please.”

“Did you hear that, Lua? Come right here.”

Philip might solely smirk on the Wolf’s aggressive stance.

“… Mountains, forests, and fields. Why is a divine being answerable for defending them performing like this right here?”

Privia seemed a bit stunned and glanced at Philip.

“Child, are you additionally sensing it? What’s rising right here?”

Philip nodded.

“After all. Can’t you see it? The golden fruit hanging on the finish of that department. It’s apparent even with out trying. You wish to monopolize it, don’t you? It’s the ‘Golden Apple.’”

The fruits of the World Tree contained a mysterious energy. They may heal folks, take away toxins, and include a substantial quantity of mana themselves. If a talented practitioner discovered the right methods, they might improve their aura via the World Tree’s fruits.

However the data of one thing particular amongst these fruits was solely recognized to a choose few students.

The so-called ‘Golden Apple.’

The fruit with an attractive aroma that even with only a single chew, it might grant immortality.

Philip was already conscious of the existence of that fruit. It had been a particularly uncommon merchandise even within the authentic sport.

‘Consuming that may progressively reconstruct the physique.’

An merchandise with a complete of 4 makes use of, it considerably accelerates the expansion of the chosen college students, and the chance of awakening particular talents additionally will increase noticeably.

“Me, Lua, Tania, and… Janice. Feeding it to Janice ought to do it.”

Highly effective and distinctive gadgets have been considerable on this world, however gadgets that instantly aided progress have been uncommon. Furthermore, because the ‘Golden Apple’ was a fruit that the World Tree selected to bear at will, it was unsure when it will seem once more.

‘That’s mine.’

He had no intention of leaving such a treasured merchandise for even a divine being. He approached the Wolf even nearer.

“Don’t come any nearer. I warn you.”

“What is going to you do if I get nearer? Will you assault me and grow to be a corpse?”

“Do you suppose killing a pathetic creature like you’ll flip me right into a corpse? Even when I have been to devour a complete village, that wouldn’t occur.”

Privia, who had been listening to their dialog, spoke up.

“Silly and insufficient. A being who has lived for over a thousand years has grow to be blind with need and might’t even learn causality correctly. Do you suppose one thing will change simply because a divine being such as you eats it?”

With a disdainful expression, she opened her mouth and uttered a dragon’s phrases.

[Fool. Withdraw immediately.]

Then, Philip touched his brow with a extreme headache.

The language of dragons was extremely concise and summary. It wasn’t phonetic or symbolic writing, extra resembling a posh code.

It was past human intelligence to interpret and even trying to grasp it required a stage of psychological energy past human functionality.

‘However why can I hear this?’

Nonetheless, Philip might hear the dragon’s phrases. He didn’t know the way or why, however that reality was sufficient to astonish Privia.

[Did you hear the dragon’s words?]

“Ah… sure. I heard it. So please cease. My head feels prefer it’s splitting.”

Quickly, blood trickled down from Philip’s nostril. It felt as if somebody was instantly manipulating his mind. Stunned, Privia fell silent.

“A dragon? A dragon? Would even a dragon, born as an entire being, need this fruit?”

Privia’s direct intervention appeared to have little impact.

“… Seems to be like I wasn’t mistaken.”

The Wolf’s expression full of pleasure because it leaped excessive in the direction of the golden fruit. It appeared poised to devour it in a single chew.

Seeing this, Philip shouted in shock.

“No!”
