After all the apprentices were treated, the tree spirit still did not come back.
Angel thought for a while, but did not leave. Instead, he sat by the pool of life and meditated quietly.
It's a rare trip to the life pool. How can it be done without staying for a while? Moreover, after using a large amount of green patterns, Angel's own spirit is also slightly tired. With this kind of extremely pure life breath nourishment, he can recover better.
quick.
While Angel was quietly absorbing the breath of life, Toby and Dangros were not idle either. Toby flew directly over the life pool and transformed into a huge gryphon, circling non-stop, every time his flesh wings waved.
, a large amount of life breath poured into the body.
Dangross did not have Toby's skills. Like Angel, he just quietly breathed the breath of life. Even so, Dangross also felt full.
Although Angel was meditating, the movements of Toby and Dangross did not escape his perception. However, he did not stop him. Dangross had secretly absorbed the breath of life from him before, and the tree spirit must have discovered it.
Since the tree spirit didn't say anything about it, it means that the tree spirit acquiesced in this behavior.
As for Toby... Although Angel thinks that Toby's transformation into a griffin and sucking the sea surge is a bit excessive, but compared to the wizard hanging in the cocoon of wooden vines these days, it's actually not bad. Anyway, now the tree spirit
No, before the tree spirit comes back, ask Toby to change back quickly. Angel believes that even if the tree spirit finds out, he will turn a blind eye.
Thinking of this, Angel stopped caring about the two little guys and continued to meditate.
Time passed, and after a full hour, the tree spirit slowly came back. Moreover, it was the tree spirit's breath that came in first, but the tree spirit himself did not appear immediately.
Obviously, the tree spirit was reminding Angel that he was back and could stop his little tricks.
Angel was also very knowledgeable and ended his fruitful meditation. At the same time, he called out to Dangros, asking him to stop quickly. However, there was no reply from Dangros. Angel looked back in confusion, but
At some point, Dangros fell off his shoulders and landed on the wooden floor beside the pool of life, eyes tightly closed.
Angel's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. Could it be that the breath of life is not good for fire elemental elves?
After all, the breath of life corresponds more to living creatures or wood elemental creatures. For a fire elemental elf, would it not be a good medicine, but poison?
Angel was startled and quickly picked up Dangros from the ground.
After careful investigation, Angel discovered that nothing happened to Dangros and he was just sleeping soundly.
Moreover, the skin of Dangros' palm was shiny and shiny, and the flames in his body were in a normal cycle, even more active than before, without any trace of anything amiss.
Angel then breathed a sigh of relief.
If something happens to Dangros here, he doesn't know how to explain it to the wise man Magu. Moreover, he is still thinking about Dangros' younger brother Korokro. Without Dangros's assistance, how can he win Korokro?
After carefully putting Dangros into the bracelet space, Angel then thought of Toby.
However, before Angel could call Toby, he heard footsteps behind him.
The tree spirit has returned.
Angel was about to turn around and say hello to the tree spirit, but suddenly he heard a wail from the tree spirit. Then, in a flash, the tree spirit rushed to Angel's side, half-knelt by the life pool, and murmured.
He muttered: "My life pool...my life pool...what's going on...what's going on?"
The tree spirit turned his head to look at Angel dimly.
Angel looked at the life pool in front of him... At first glance, there was no difference from before, but for some reason, bubbles were bubbling in the center of the life pool.
Looking at those bubbles, Angel suddenly had a bad thought in his mind.
Toby, where is Toby?
Didn't Toby turn into a gryphon before and hover over the pool of life? Where is Toby now?
When Angel called Toby in his heart, perhaps there was a connection in his heart. Toby also heard Angel's call, and it slowly appeared.
However, when it appeared this time, Angel's eyes widened and he was startled.
Because, a huge snake head with a faint light slowly raised its head from the bubbling place in the center of the life pool.
"Tototo...Toby." Angel felt like he was stuttering.
Toby tilted his snake head and looked at Angel suspiciously.
Angel: "Why did you change into the snake-bird form? Wasn't the gryphon form good before? Why did you go to play in the water?"
"Play...with water?" A cold and faint voice came from the side.
Angel secretly glanced at the tree spirit, only to see the tree spirit staring at him fiercely.
Angel was excited and said quickly: "Toby, you are so unbehaved. How could you run into the life pool without Lord Tree Spirit's permission? Come up quickly and apologize to Lord Tree Spirit."
After speaking, Angel took a step back slightly.
He planned to open the illusory door as soon as the tree spirit got angry, and then run away as soon as the bracelet's reduced presence was turned on.
As for Toby, wish yourself well. The tree spirit will probably not kill Toby. At most, it will impose some punishment. When the tree spirit energy dissipates, I will come back to pick you up.
Toby didn't know what Angel was thinking, but he still flew into the air obediently, fluttering slightly, and the rich breath of life overflowed. Some water droplets fell on Angel, and Angel immediately felt the life in his body.
The breath is waving with desire.
It can be seen from this that the water in the life pool and the life breath escaping are completely two quality levels.
The more this happened, the more complicated Angel's mood became.
Before, he thought that the tree spirit might at most punish Toby, but now that he saw the level of the life pool, he felt that the tree spirit's anger would probably not go away even if Toby died...
After Toby came out of the life pool, he did not change back to the seabird state. He still used the huge snake bird form to swim over the life pool. The streamlined curves showed elegance.
Angel was still calling Toby in a low voice to come back quickly, but after carefully observing Toby, he suddenly froze.
"Your snake-bird form...is okay?" Angel said in surprise.
Toby's snake-bird form is actually not a normal derivation. It was born after encountering the Abyss Demonic Snake and being infected with the aura of the Doom Patroller, which eventually produced some unknown chemical reaction.
Because of the abnormal birth, Toby's snake-bird form still had many side effects even if he was treated later. For example, after Toby transformed into the snake-bird form, the extremely rich wet, dark, and negative emotions were almost...
It turns into a dark cloud, and even Toby himself will be affected, making it almost impossible to use it in actual combat. But now, although the snake-bird form is also exuding a faint negative emotion, this is more biased towards the snake-bird's ability.
After all, this form of Toby is called - the jealous snake bird.
This form allows Toby to become a true master of emotional manipulation, especially provoking jealousy, which is the core ability of this form. Therefore, the faint negative emotions emitting around it are due to its own ability.
"Hiss - chirp -" the snake bird made a strange sound.
This kind of language is obviously unique to the snake bird, but Angel and Toby have already had a spiritual connection, and he can clearly understand what the snake bird means.
Just as Angel guessed, Toby was telling Angel that his control over the snake-bird form has gone one step further.
Although it cannot be used for a long time, if it is used occasionally, it will not affect Toby's original intention.
And what creates all of this is obviously the water in the pool of life.
Angel was very happy for Toby. After all, being able to solve such a hidden danger would be very beneficial to Toby's future development. However, feeling the cold eyes of the tree spirit beside him, he really couldn't be happy anymore.
"What were you communicating just now?" Faint words came from the tree spirit's mouth.
Angel coughed twice and briefly told him about temporarily eliminating Toby's hidden danger.
Then, without waiting for the tree spirit to react, Angel rolled his eyes and said quickly: "Thank you, Lord Tree Spirit, for your help. Otherwise, Toby's snake-bird form would have taken an unknown amount of time to eliminate the hidden danger."
As Angel spoke, he used his peripheral vision to signal Toby to come over quickly and thank him.
Toby was at a loss at first, but feeling the subtle atmosphere between Angel and the tree spirit, he seemed to understand something.
With an elegant turn, the huge snake-bird turned into a small seabird, flew onto Angel's shoulder, and together with Angel, bowed to the tree spirit and said, "Chi-ku-chi-ku."
Angel quickly translated for Toby: "Master Dryad, Toby is also thanking you, the esteemed one."
The tree spirit looked at Angel and Toby, wondering in his heart that these two stinky guys said this deliberately, wanting to put him in a high position and make the situation a fact.
Seeing that the water in the life pool was obviously thinner, the tree spirit was so angry that he didn't come back for a long time. In fact, he meant to start a small stove for Angel, but he didn't expect that Angel still abided by the rules.
Toby had a surprise for him.
Even though it is just this small layer of life pool water, it is at least his hundreds of years of savings!
Toby's actions consumed more people than all the previous mad patients combined.
The tree spirit clenched his fists and kept calming his breath, but his eyes still couldn't help but run towards Angel and Toby.
Angel couldn't move. Behind Angel stood an entire savage cave. Moreover, the appearance of the Wilderness of Dreams also eased Liana's covetousness of the life pool, which was a huge help to the tree spirit.
busy.
But, as for Toby, it's different...
The tree spirit stared at Toby fiercely, and Toby felt a chill running down his spine.
Just when Angel and Toby thought that the tree spirit might be furious, the tree spirit suddenly put away its outward emotions and turned to look at the group of wizard apprentices who had been rescued.
"Yes, everything has recovered." The tree spirit nodded, "Since it's healed, let's send him away first."
As the tree spirit spoke, he snapped his fingers, and all the former patients were swallowed by the surrounding wooden walls. When they woke up again, they had appeared outside the Eternal Tree.
These are not mentioned yet.
After Angel saw the tree spirit letting these patients go, only the two of them were left in the entire space, plus a trembling Toby.
Angel understood that retribution might come in the next second.
"Master Dryad, I believe Toby didn't do it on purpose. As you said before, this is instinct. The hidden dangers of the snake-bird form drove Toby's instinct into the life pool. It was definitely not intentional."
"Jigujigu." Toby also nodded repeatedly. Although what Angel said was not the truth, it must be the truth at this time.
When the tree spirit heard Angel's sophistry, he smiled and said, "What are you worried about? I'm not blaming you for anything. I kept you here because I have something to tell you."
For some reason, when looking at the tree spirit's smile as bright as the sun, Angel not only did not feel warm, but felt that there seemed to be a huge conspiracy behind the smile.
Angel hesitated for a moment and said softly: "What does Lord Tree Spirit want from me?"
The tree spirit still smiled: "Actually, it's not a big deal. You saw it just now. I went out for a trip, but it was Lai Yin who came to see me."
After a pause, the tree spirit looked at Angel: "You must have met Aesop before, right?"
Angel nodded: "I met Mr. Aesos at the Star Pond ruins."
Today, Isos still stays near the ruins of the Star Pond and is repairing the barrier of the Condensing Light Wall.
"Aesos and Rhine have actually known each other for many years and have been good friends for many years, so when something happened to the ruins this time, Rhine was able to call Aesops over as soon as possible." Tree Spirit: "However, friends are friends, Aesops.
To repair the Condensing Light Wall, you still have to pay the price."
"Rhine originally prepared something for Aesop, but Aesop refused. He said that there was another reason why he came to help this time."
"He hopes to borrow an alchemist from the Savage Cave to help his disciple refine something."
When the tree spirit said this, Angel already understood what the tree spirit meant.
Angel: "Are you going to let me go, Your Excellency Rhine?"
The tree spirit shook his head: "Your Excellency Rhine asked me to go to the mission hall to announce this mission and see which alchemist is willing to take it."
"I have already released the task, and even notified Liana in advance, but Liana has no interest in it."
Speaking of this, the tree spirit looked at Angel with a smile.
There were not many apprentices learning alchemy in the Savage Cave before, but now there are not many. Especially after Angel became a member of the R&D Institute, there are still many people who are willing to learn alchemy. However, those levels are not even for Promi.
How could he be sent out to help Aesop if he couldn't even get one tenth of it?
If we really send these alchemy apprentices out, they will lose the face of the Savage Cave.
As for the alchemists that can be obtained from the Savage Cave, Angel and Lianna are the only ones. It is normal for Lianna to be busy with the tea party and not want to leave, so Angel is the only one left.
If I had asked Angel before, Angel's choice would have been to go or not.
But now, the tree spirit looked at him with a smile, and occasionally glanced at the life pool not far away, and the meaning was self-evident.
How dare Angel refuse.
He whispered: "Over there in the tidal realm..."
"There's no need to worry over there in the Tidal Realm, Rhine will wait for you to come back before going. And, with your alchemy level, it shouldn't take too long." The tree spirit said calmly.
Angel: "I wonder what the disciples of His Excellency Isos want to refine?"
The tree spirit shrugged: "I don't know about this either. Rhine has also asked about it, but Aesop actually doesn't know much about it, because the refining blueprint is in the hands of his disciple, and the origin of that blueprint is mysterious. According to Aesop,
After inspection by the soldiers, it was found that there seemed to be some special mechanism inside."
"Special mechanism, what mechanism?"
The tree spirit shook his head: "I don't know, but because of this mechanism, Aesop didn't show it to himself. I guess it might self-destruct after opening it? Anyway, just in case, I still hope to find a suitable alchemist.
Then open it again."
Seeing Angel frowning and seeming to have doubts about the mechanism of the blueprint, the tree spirit said again: "Don't worry, that blueprint is not dangerous. Its special mechanism comes from the magic pattern carved on it, but that magic pattern belongs to
Although Isos is the uncle of the alchemy magic pattern, he can only understand part of it, so he can be sure that it is not offensive in nature and will not be dangerous."
If there was really a danger, Lord Rhine would not hint to the tree spirit to let Angel take over this task.
After a pause, the tree spirit continued: "By the way, this mission also has rewards, and the rewards are given by Aesop's disciples."
If it were a reward from Aesop, Angel might still be curious; but what kind of reward could Aesop's disciples offer? Angel was not looking forward to it at all.
The tree spirit seemed to notice Angel's disdain and said with a smile: "This reward may indeed be of little use to you. It is said that it is a handbook of practice during Aesop's apprenticeship."
"Aesop's training notes during his apprenticeship?" Angel was stunned for a moment.
The tree spirit nodded: "This disciple of Isos has not learned Aesos's magic pattern ability, but he is a rare space system apprentice. Therefore, Isos will use his apprenticeship period to understand the space system.
I gave him the notebook of my experience. Now, the reward is this notebook."
At this point, the tree spirit sighed: "It would be great if Aesos gave the magic pattern cultivation notes as a reward. That should be very useful to you. How about I help you and ask again?"
Angel's eyes widened when he heard that it was a note containing Aesop's space experience during his apprenticeship! Although he had gained a lot of space knowledge in the body of a Dalmatian before, it was too conceptual. If there was a space system senior's experience,
Guidance, that is definitely even more powerful.
And Aesop's Notes are an opportunity!
Angel hurriedly said: "Don't bother Mr. Issos. I have the magic patterns myself. I don't need other codes. Just this code will do!"
The tree spirit smiled and said: "So, you have decided to take on this task?"
Angel nodded quickly. He might have been forced to accept it because of the current situation of the life pool before; but now, he is willing to accept this task out of his inner thoughts.
Tree Spirit: "Since you accept it, I will help you take on this mission. I will send you the specific information later. You can set off today or tomorrow."
Angel nodded yes.
"Oh, by the way." The tree spirit said, "You should go alone this time."
Angel looked at the tree spirit in confusion. He was usually alone, so why did the tree spirit suddenly point it out?
Tree spirit: "What I mean is, Toby, I won't go with you."
Angel looked at the smiling tree spirit, and then at the fuzzy Toby beside him. He felt a thump in his heart and said quietly: "Why do you want to keep Toby?"
The tree spirit smiled and said: "That's right. As you know, Greya has just recovered from a serious illness. She is currently in the recovery period and needs companionship. I just contacted Greya and she said that Toby would accompany her."
As he spoke, the tree spirit waved his hand, and an image immediately appeared in front of Angel's eyes.
Greya was sitting at the table, talking to Butler Goode across from her. She seemed to sense someone watching her, so she turned her head and looked over: "Oh, it's Angel."
"Master Dryad has already told you. I heard that you are leaving temporarily to do a mission, so you can go alone this time. Toby will stay here to accompany me."
Greya blinked: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Toby."
"Also, I already know that you saved me. If I want to thank you, I will tell you in person when you come back. I will have other things to ask you by then, so be it."
When the words are finished, the image disappears.
The tree spirit looked at Angel: "Look, it was Grea who wanted Toby to stay~"
Angel took a deep look at the tree spirit. He believed that Greya was real just now, but it was probably not Grea's fault that Toby was allowed to stay. It must have been the tree spirit behind it.
Obviously, the tree spirit still has no intention of letting Toby go easily.
However, judging from the secret signal that Grea sent to him before, with Grea taking care of him, the tree spirit should not punish Toby too much.
Thinking of this, Angel could only nod: "Okay, I will send Toby to Greia later."
