Chapter 124: Chapter 121 Wisdom Ancient Tree
Chapter 124 -121 Wisdom Ancient Tree
With a piercing scream, the 6th insect nest crumbled, and Da Fei finally felt relieved. This battle came right after defeating the 5th insect nest, when Selvia leveled up to 25, restored her full Mana, and learned the important Meditation Skill sub-skill, Mysterious Training.
(Mysterious Training: Reduces Mana consumption by 20% during hero’s spellcasting.)
In this battle, the Druid and most of the Flower Demons ran out of Mana; the troops were stuck in a bitter fight, surrounded by swarms of insects, and after dozens of casualties, they eventually triumphed. Selvia didn’t cast any spells during this battle, relying on the old lady and five Forest Goddesses to sustain them through their spellcasting. Selvia saved all her Mana for resurrecting the troops after the battle.
Now, a vast expanse of golden light sprinkled down, resurrecting all the dead troops. However, without exception, they were all in a weakened state, no longer capable of further combat and had to rest to restore their Mana and recover from weakness.
Following the old lady’s suggestion, Da Fei opened up the exquisitely stored wines and food in the kitchen, allowing his troops to feast heartily, then they headed off to the dormitory to sleep. The advantage of dormitory rest is that one wakes up in a fully restored state. Nevertheless, the Flying’s dormitory only had 200 beds, naturally prioritized for those resurrected, Flower Demons, Druids, and other spellcasting units. As for the mixed-gender sleeping arrangements typical of a game, there was no need to mind. Actually, the Flower Demons could sleep in the repaired barracks. As for Jungle Hunters, these elite forest troops could make do with sleeping in corridor cargo areas.
In any case, both the human and horse forces were exhausted, and even Da Fei was drained. Having been at the Pool of Radiance up to this point, Da Fei couldn’t remember how long it had been since he last closed his eyes to sleep. Log off, sleep.
Forcing his spirit, Da Fei clicked to shop in the marketplace and bought a Divine Sanctuary, and used it.
—System Prompt: Sorry! You are currently in an Epic Quest scene and cannot log off normally. You may enable offline mode and entrust your troops to a Vice Hero.
Ah Pu! A mouthful of old blood spurt forth, dispelling Da Fei’s sleepiness! Can players even survive this? This is addiction, obsession, an illness, it needs treatment!
However, under these circumstances, it was essentially like entering Lord mode. When the Lord logs off, NPC vice lords manage online. There were no other choices; everything had to be entrusted to Catherine. At this point, it all depended on the Vice Hero’s intelligence.
For now, all Da Fei could do was stay calm, trust his own judgment, trust the intelligence of his beloved, trust the capabilities of the Dragon Slayer, trust that he would get a good sleep, and indeed must get a good sleep, as more arduous tasks awaited him tomorrow.
…..
When Da Fei could no longer resist logging off, players from various time zones around the world were active to varying degrees.
China Region’s National War battlefield had become the focus of the world and already left a poor initial impression with allied countries of the Hell Race. The Military Factory was destroyed, the offensive stalled, with nothing to do; Chinese players were uncooperative, and the objectives and rewards of the battlefield mission were unclear, participation was to be approached with caution. Major international groups had not appeared yet. The Indian Zone was the quickest to publicly declare its stance: the boring National War was not worth the investment. In contrast, various wartime discussions seemed so self-consumed on Chinese forums, where moderators began massive deletion of unruly posts.
Amidst these voices of disapproval and disdain, an Indian player quietly teleported to Demon Flame City, then headed straight for the Pool of Radiance frontline. This player was naturally coming from the Indian Zone to deliver goods to Aamirhan. The National War battlefield operates with a one-way Teleportation Gate; those who come can’t return until the war ends.
After receiving the cargo, Aamirhan began organizing operations. As for the new Indian colleague, he was dancing the India dance in the camp, attracting attention from players of various countries for a moment, bringing rounds of applause – the India dance was sweeping the world. Indeed, his goal was to attract as much attention as possible, ensuring Aamirhan’s sneak-in was foolproof.
Now, Aamirhan climbed to the window, romantically like seeing a princess in a high tower’s castle: “I’m back, my moon, for you, I’ve put in my all! I hope these items can help you!”
—System Prompt: You have gifted the Book of Enlightenment to Deirdre.
—System Prompt: You have gifted the Wisdom Alchemy Potion to Deirdre.
—System Prompt: You have gifted the Sharp Thinking Gem to Deirdre.
—System Prompt: You have gifted the Dark Scroll to Deirdre.
…..
Faced with such generous gifts, Deirdre’s heart thumped with excitement: “Thank you so much! With all these treasures, I think I can do it!”
“Stay strong, my moon!”
Aamirhan anxiously watched the Demoness preparing to perform, while actually, the mid-high level officials of the entire Indian Zone’s Eight Heavenly Dragons were nervously watching the Demoness on the large screen in the command center, the tense and serious atmosphere like that of a space mission control center during a rocket launch.
Deirdre’s body glimmered, the result of the stacked BUFF effects from the treasures and potions.
“The treasures are effective! The potions are effective!” For a moment, all the ministers in the command center clenched their fists excitedly!
Deirdre held up the textbooks to cast a spell, black mist steamed out, then suddenly dissipated. The spellcasting failed!
Deirdre stood frozen on the spot! The entire Indian Command Center fell into dead silence!
Deirdre’s trembling body began to sob: “Do I really not have the aptitude? Can’t I cast even the simplest curse spell despite receiving so many treasures?”
At this time, the Chief Minister of the Indian Command Center, Nehru, made a decisive call, “If the system has issued a task, then it can definitely be achieved. Implement plan number 2!”
Aamirhan immediately said, “Oh, my most beautiful moon, please don’t cry, the entire night sky is sad for you! I still have one way, you can do it, you definitely can!”
Deirdre stopped sobbing in surprise: “What way?”
Aamirhan said solemnly, “Listen carefully, the World Tree is a very ancient existence on the surface world, connecting multiple spaces, multiple worlds. The fruits it bears, once matured, will also fall into certain spaces, turning these fruits into seeds, slowly growing, over a thousand years, ten thousand years, they become the famous Wisdom Ancient Trees. Mortals encountering an Ancient Tree will be enlightened by its wisdom, gaining an enhancement in intelligence. And this here is the World Tree, this area is most likely to find Wisdom Ancient Trees nearby, they must be in some space nearby. Your mentor is filled with immense wisdom, he must know the whereabouts of the Wisdom Ancient Trees’ space!”
Deirdre exclaimed in surprise: “Do you mean, I should visit the Wisdom Ancient Tree?”
Aamirhan nodded and said, “Exactly. Any mortal who is fortunate enough to meet the Wisdom Ancient Tree can visit it; it does not care about the visitor’s race.”
Deirdre nodded, resolute, “Okay! I will ask my mentor, hero, can you join me?”
Aamirhan jubilantly replied, “Yes! I will wait for you at Lord Siriel’s place!”
—”No need!” A commanding voice resounded, followed by an explosion of flames, Siriel appeared at the Watchtower.
Deirdre exclaimed in terror, “Mentor!”
Siriel pointed at Aamirhan, “Come up here!” Caught off guard, Aamirhan was instantly teleported into the Watchtower room by a flash of white light.
At this moment, the entire Indian Command Center erupted in excitement! As top-tier gamers, such an incident naturally signified a major plot twist.
Siriel turned his gaze to the trembling Deirdre: “Today is the deadline for your assessment. If you fail, I will expel you. Clearly, you cannot do it, and that’s your fault!”
Deirdre pleaded in terror, “Mentor, please, give me one more chance! Even if I fail, I can still excel in other areas and will never disgrace your wise mentorship!”
Siriel waved his hand: “Right, adapting to the situation and seeking help by any means necessary is your strength, or rather, it’s in the nature of the Banshee Race. If a student has strengths that remain buried, then it’s the mentor’s mistake.”
Deirdre joyously said, “Thank you, mentor! Thank you, mentor!”
Siriel’s gaze then shifted to Aamirhan: “Young Demon, I am quite impressed that you know so much about the Wisdom Ancient Tree!”
Aamirhan hurriedly replied, “You flatter me, sir.”
Siriel, engulfed in flames, bellowed, “Honestly, I too wish to visit the Wisdom Ancient Tree, and I certainly know which nearby Otherworld has the Wisdom Ancient Tree! But—”
Aamirhan ecstatically exclaimed, “Please command, sir! No matter how difficult, there’s nothing I cannot do!”
Siriel nodded, “Good, since you understand the difficulty of the task, I will give you three days to conquer the Ancient Tree Space. If there’s no progress in three days, I will close the Teleportation Gate. The situation at the front is rapidly changing, and I carry great responsibilities; I cannot afford to divert too much attention to a tree!”
—System Prompt: You have received the Limited Time Side Quest “Visit the Wisdom Ancient Tree” from “Hero’s Road”!
—Task Hint: Wisdom Ancient Tree exists in a certain Otherworld. The Demon’s power can open the gate leading to that space. Prepare thoroughly, for the Ancient Guardians of the Wisdom Ancient Tree are powerful and should not be underestimated by the Demons! You have only three days.
Aamirhan jubilantly declared, “I will make it happen!”
Deirdre joyously said, “Thank you, mentor!”
Siriel coldly stated, “Are you prepared to make sacrifices?”
Deirdre gritted her teeth and resolutely replied, “Yes!”
Siriel coughed and said, “Right, I have a friend who I would like to ask for help, but she is very introverted and hard to persuade. She’s only interested in killing machines, could you lend me your Crossbow Cannon? Then I can have her come over.”
Deirdre, taken aback, said, “My Crossbow Cannon?”
Siriel stated coldly, “It’s better than you dying in the Ancient Tree Space and losing the Crossbow Cannon for nothing.”
Aamirhan immediately said, “Rest assured, sir, we will not let the lady be harmed!”
Deirdre chuckled, “Since it’s a request from my mentor, I must obey!” She then pulled out the mechanism bag and handed it to Siriel.
Siriel highly satisfied, stated, “Good! Go prepare. After you gather your people, I will summon all the Mage Apprentices in the camp to conduct the ritual to open the gate for you.”
Aamirhan jubilantly responded, “Yes, sir!”
Oh yeah!!! The entire Indian Command Center was boiling with excitement!
Minister Nehru fervently ordered, “All members of the Asura Department, get in position, check supplies, check forces. Two minutes from now, move out!”
“Yes, Minister!”
