90. Macaron

The towering stone tower in the center of the Ideal Country seems to be the only building that exists from the construction point. It looks extremely magnificent from the outside, but there is not much decoration in it, which looks quite cold.

The overall tower was hollow on four floors, but a stone pillar leading directly to the top rose in the middle. Fisher didn't know what it was for. He just felt that the moment he came in, his body temperature dropped a little, as if some of the existences around him became more active.

Margaret walked in front with a smile. She and Chun Bo walked up the rotating stairs around the tower, and said by the way,

"In fact, when you entered the tree continent and met Chun, I noticed you, but I didn't expose it rashly, because this might bring disaster to Chun. If Mr. Tao hadn't been torn to you, I wouldn't have been forced to use the loom to delay her time."

Fisher looked at her back and asked,

"In other words, you are the one who covers your destiny."

"Well, the Tao Gong, who existed in the past, had a fatal flaw, because the gifted past was both a blessing and a restraint. This made Tao Gong blinded by a leaf and easily lost his direction. As long as she didn't know how I stole the loom of fate, she would definitely not know how I controlled the loom now, so she did not dare to act rashly."

Margaret and they soon arrived at the top of the tower, which was hollowed out, so they were ventilated on all sides, so that they could clearly see the full view of the Ideal Country below and the undulating mountains outside.

It was here that the stone pillars leading directly to the top of the tower reached its head. It turned out to be an extremely deep pool. Fisher's eyes were turned into it, but he only saw a piece of darkness, as if the pool was bottomless, like an abyss.

The furnishings next to the pool are also extremely simple, with a large bed, a large table and several chairs made of tomato wood. The number of chairs corresponds to the current number of people. It seems that Margaret has long known the number of visitors.

There were several stacks of extremely exquisite desserts and some kind of tea made of unknown leaves on the table, and she also introduced to Fisher and the others with a smile,

"These are my hometown desserts macarons and chestnut cakes that I adapt to local conditions. Please use them, let's talk while eating."

Fisher and others sat down one after another. Tang Ze Asuka originally wanted to sit at the nearest position beside Fisher, but Heller had already taken that position with a smile. There was no place on the other side of Fisher. Then there was a vacant position next to Margaret opposite the table.

She stood there and glanced at the other side, but before she could move her footsteps, Margaret opposite her had already waved to her with a smile, and said,

"Asukka, if you don't mind, just sit next to me?"

"Why?"

Tangze Asuka was slightly stunned, and Margaret also looked at her, thinking that her name was wrong.

"Hmm? I heard that Japanese people have surnames in front and names in the back. Is this wrong call me?"

"Ah, no, no..."

Tang Ze Asuka waved his hand with a smile, then glanced at Fisher, and then sat down carefully next to Margaret, and everyone sat around the table and formed a circle.

Margaret smiled and looked at Tang Ze Asuka beside her, pulling her stool and sitting down. Her eyes remained on her body until Tang Ze Asuka had already sat together, and she was still scanning the other person up and down.

"Ms. Margaret, is there something wrong with me?"

"No, how could it be..." Margaret was slightly stunned when she heard this, then smiled and picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, saying, "I just think you are very young and no longer young, it's the best time. I once had a daughter. If she is still here, she should be the same age as you, and I don't know if she is taller than you..."

"This matter... I heard you say in Taogong's barrier..."

"Haha, because I was also me half a year ago. I always think about my child, and now it is no exception."

Margaret's eyes were empty for a moment, and she quietly stared at the ripples-free pool in the distance. Tang Ze Asuka also looked at her side face, until a second or two later she withdrew her gaze and then spoke.

"Okay, let's talk about the serious matter. I probably already know what your purpose was to go to the Tree Continent and to the Ideal Country at this moment. It was the tears of the World Tree, right?"

Fisher nodded and said to Margaret,

"Yes, if you guessed it wrong, the teardrops of the World Tree are just a gift to the Destiny Loom, so we took the liberty to come. We prepared a reward for it, and if you have anything you need, we only have teardrops of the World Tree."

The negotiation process entered very quickly. Every time at this time, Tang Ze Asika would quietly remain cautious and listen carefully. After all, she rarely experienced such things before, and only started to contact each other after coming to another world.

Well, the only negotiation she had ever come into contact with was to exchange the ownership of the last fried bread in the store at noon with her classmates using math homework answers.

Margaret was about to answer, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Tang Ze Asika's cute look of nervous and sitting upright. She smiled slightly, put the dessert that no one else moved in front of Tang Ze Asika, and whispered to her,

"Don't be nervous, we are not enemies... I will feel better after eating some sweets, and I won't let my preparations go out."

"Hey, thank you, Ms. Margaret."

Tang Ze Asuka quickly reached out to take the macaron she handed over, and then slowly stuffed it into her mouth with the macaron. In an instant, a sweet berry smell exploded from her mouth, making her unable to help but squint her eyes.

Book いしい! (Delicious)

Margaret smiled and looked at Tangze Asuka with her cheeks bulging, then reached out and pointed her lips, indicating that there were food residues on her lips.

Tang Ze Akika, who was reminded, blushed and instantly reached out to cover her mouth. Then he blinked again, and quietly swallowed the food on his lips with his tongue under the cover of his hands.

"Tears about the World Tree..."

Margaret turned her head and was about to continue the negotiation, but she saw the handsome gentleman who seemed to be the leader. The "man" with blond curly hair poked the gentleman's shoulder like a daughter, and said in a low voice to him,

"I want to eat that too..."

Margaret raised her eyebrows, as if she hadn't expected such a thing, and even the words were about to be heard could not help but tremble.

Fisher, who was urging by Hellier, glanced at her speechlessly, then reached out helplessly to take a macaron back and stuffed it into her mouth. Hellier also shook his body with satisfaction, making Margaret's brow jump again, as if even as romantic as a Frenchman, the version in front of her was still too advanced for her.

Miha Yiner and Huo Kiss were all laughing, as if they were thinking of something happy; while Nekolia was looking out the window, still dazed.

"Ahem, Ms. Margaret, what did you say just now?"

"Ah, it's about the teardrops of the World Tree..."

Margaret came to her senses and patted her hands gently, and took off the residue from her hand that had just been fed to Asuka Tang Ze, and then she looked towards the pool behind Fisher.

"You should have learned about our current situation when you were in the Holy Land. I was forced to use the loom of fate to find the location of [Death]. As you can see, the sleeping place of the goddess Hea Crow of the Death Goddess is deep underground to the pool behind you."

Upon hearing this, Fisher turned his head and looked at the pool in the center of the tower. The dark, as if it was leading to the water surface of the earth, was faintly flashing a little golden light.

"The loom has an extremely sensitive characteristic, which seems to be of the same origin as the power of destiny possessed by the elves. The World Tree violated the command of the True God and gave it privately to get rid of death. It sensed the breath of death and showed me the source of that power. I followed its guidance, traveled through mountains and rivers, and used its power to carve out the road to death...

"But the threat only works for the elves, it does not have any threat to their mother's World Tree. And the reason she did not take action in the past six months was because of the Elf King, whose power temporarily replaced the loom to keep his life like a candle in the wind. But since you killed the Elf Queen, her only concern has been eliminated. Half a month later, the Elf King will start a four-year reincarnation process with the help of the World Tree. After that, I have to face the furious World Tree and her descendants."

Margaret took a sip of tea and added more details about the matter.

Fisher probably understood why Margaret was able to be free outside for half a year with the human body and the World Tree had not yet liquidated her. To be honest, it is unlikely that she could be restricted by her means with the power of the 20th level of the World Tree. The real reason for restricting her was even simpler than Fisher imagined, that is, the elf king handle.

Fisher just didn't understand. Since all the elves can be reincarnated and have never had a real death, why did the World Tree still try so hard to stop his death? It was obvious that the Peach Gong had already died and had been reincarnated once, and there was no such action in the World Tree before.

Just because of preference?

For some reason, Fisher suddenly thought of what the Elf King said before his death.

He was not afraid of Tao Gong seizing power, nor was he worried that the etiquette he constructed was in a collapse. What he was really worried about was an upcoming chaos, and that chaos seemed to be related to their youngest sister, who had long disappeared.

So the question is back to the starting point, what is the purpose of Shibu and what role does he play in this matter?

"This is roughly the case, but I believe you have prepared to exchange for the World Tree Tears before you come. Can I listen to the reward you provide?"

Margaret's words came to an abrupt end, then turned to the point of speaking and asked about another thing.

Fisher just wanted to speak, but Tangze Asuka spoke first with some excitement. She said to Margaret,

"Ms. Margaret is the way to go home. The Pandora Angel of the Sanctuary can take us back to our original world, she only wants the tears of the World Tree."

Upon hearing this, Tsubasa, who had been listening quietly next to her, suddenly looked at her, and then the pressure from the mythical level spread little by little, causing Tang Ze Asuka to shivered all over and couldn't help but look at the other person.

Of course, everyone around me knows why, but Tangze Asika is too young and has a rather monotonous way of thinking, so she is prone to making mistakes.

The problem is that Margaret can accept the reward of patting her butt and leaving the world, but what about Tsubasa?

He was originally a person from this world, and he also stole the loom of fate for Margaret or other reasons. If Margaret left, the pressure of the elf and the World Tree would fall on his head. Moreover, from his expression, he seemed unable to control the loom like Margaret.

"Ah, thank you for your kindness, Asuka. But I don't have the desire to leave here at the moment, I don't care about my hometown anymore, and there are people who need me here. If I leave, Tsubasa and the people he brought with me, and other creatures who come to the Dragon Continent to join the Ideal Country, will suffer a catastrophe. I can't do this."

Tang Ze Asuka immediately seemed to realize something. She turned her head and looked at Fisher, feeling that she might have had trouble again, but Fisher did not blame her speechlessly because he was about to say what Tang Ze Asuka said.

It’s not that he can’t understand the atmosphere, but that he has probably had a little premonition since he came to the Ideal Country.

Since Margaret could accurately predict their arrival, there was a high probability that the rewards they had given were known. However, since that was the case, she still let Tsuki listen, which meant that she was not ready to accept their rewards at all.

On the other hand, she was still willing to see them since this was the case, not to mention that she had just revealed the current situation, which means that Margaret wanted other rewards, and they could provide them, so it would be fine if it was proposed to scrap the item first.

Therefore, although Tang Ze Asuka is still on the first floor, it is actually the same as the fifth floor, which is a coincidence.

"So, Ms. Margaret, what else do you want besides this reward? We will try our best to satisfy it, only exchange for the tears of the World Tree."

Margaret first glanced at Asuka who was shivering beside her and said to her as comforting,

"Don't be nervous. In fact, as you said before, the tears of the World Tree are just gifts to me, and it doesn't matter if I give them to you. But because I haven't fully mastered the loom, it is now trapped by my interference with the rules of death. I can't move at all, and of course I can't take out the tears of the World Tree that are linked to it...

"In fact, not everyone can use the items of the True God. Even the offspring of the World Tree cannot control it. The reason I can use it is because I am a transfer person carrying a strong breath of chaos, so I was imprisoned for blood collection. But I can't control it completely with my own strength, so the reward I really want is Asuka..."

Hearing his name, Tangze Asuka suddenly raised her head and met Margaret's gentle gaze. Then she pointed at herself in disbelief and asked,

"Hey hey hey, me?"

"That's right, but don't be so nervous. I just want to ask you to control the loom with me during this period. With your help, I am sure to fully gain control of the loom in half a month. In this way, even if the World Tree and the elves want to liquidate me, I can still rely on death and loom, not without resistance. At the same time, when you finish, you will take away the tears of the World Tree and leave here, and our future direction will be no longer related to you. What do you think?"

Everyone around looked at her, and Fisher stopped responding and handed over the power of decision to her, but this made her particularly uncomfortable.

She swallowed and waited for a long time before whispering,

"When...of course, if it can help you, but I have no idea what to do."

"It's okay, Asuka, I'll teach you."

Margaret handed her another macaron and said gently to her.

Tangze Asuka pursed her lips, looked at Margaret beside her, then nodded vigorously, reached out to take the macaron she handed over.

She didn't eat the macaron, but she just held it all the time, but even so, the sweet smell seemed to have sprouted and sprouted in her hands.
