759 The Glowing Wishing Tree

Next to the Central Royal Court is Rat Street, and Rat Street is right next to Widow Street.

So Angel did not continue flying, but walked leisurely into the crowd and walked towards Widow Street with the flow of people.

As soon as he turned a corner, he reached Widow's Street ahead, but before he stepped into it, he felt a strange feeling, as if someone was watching him.

With a sudden thought, he originally planned to enter Widow's Street, but he made a sudden U-turn and went to the crowded Xiaguang Square.

Just after he entered Xiaguang Square and made sure that the sense of prying eyes on him disappeared, he pretended to turn back inadvertently and looked at the long and dark street. At this time, there were not many people on Widow Street, but Angel could see it at a glance.

We arrived at two apprentices hiding on a certain roof.

Because of the distance, he couldn't see clearly. The reason why he was sure they were apprentices was because they were constantly performing some kind of visual magic on the crowd. The ripples of energy were invisible to mortals, but he could clearly see them.

perceived.

They seemed to be monitoring the flow of people in this area.

Angel frowned and thought to himself: "It seems that they are here too."

"That's right. Three thousand years ago, more than half of the properties in Widow's Street were occupied by the Lucas family. The historical records are very clear. It is not difficult for them to find this place." Angel glanced in the direction of Widow's Street from a distance.

, there were two apprentices standing guard at the door, and there were countless extraordinary beings inside.

Even if he turns on the boundless silence and breaks in, the effect of boundless silence is not absolute invisibility, and he may overturn during a carpet-like search.

Therefore, Angel did not continue walking to Widow Street, but decided to change places.

According to the records in Muya's manuscript, Lucas had a small single-family house in Pompeii Lane, which he bought for one of his lovers at the time. Because the lover was pregnant with Lucas's child, Lucas

He was worried that living in Widow Street would make her jealous and plotted by his other lovers, so he bought a courtyard to accommodate her.

However, Mu Ya also recorded that although the child was finally born safely, he did not survive past the age of three. As for how he died, she did not know.

Pompeii Lane is far away from Widow Street, at the east end of the city. Angel didn't know if there were other extraordinary beings nearby. For safety reasons, he did not take off immediately, but walked slowly, preparing to go first.

Let’s talk about leaving Xiaguang Square.

But when Angel came to the center of the square, he suddenly paused.

Previously, all his attention was focused on the direction of Widow's Street, and he did not notice the appearance of the square at all. It was only then that he discovered a ten-meter-high tree in the center of the square.

There is a tree that seems to have nothing out of the ordinary, but in fact it is not a real tree, but a tree sculpture.

Sculpted in one go using fluorite.

From a distance, it still feels hazy, but from a closer look, this tree is simply dreamy and not like a human being. The whole tree glows faintly, and the branches are covered with various wind chimes for prayer.

When the wind blows, the wind chimes jingle, crisp and sweet.

Angel noticed this tree for three reasons.

First of all, it is a rare thing to find such a tall fluorite; secondly, the one-piece carving is enough to be the work of a master; finally, what Angel cares about most is because the manuscript in Muya's

I once recorded such a passage

"Late of the month of recovery in the year 1347 of the Shining Gold Calendar"

"Prince Domingo came to visit, and the royal family held a large banquet in the palace. Lucas, a playboy and a scumbag, actually refused to change his ways and went to seduce Prince Domingo's cousin, and this woman is also blind. Sigh! Look at it.

What was he talking about? There was a glowing wishing tree by Lake Under Armor, and he said he would take her to make a wish to restore the light to her eyes? That's enough, why should I meet him here!"

This was just a venting word from Mu Ya. Angel didn't pay attention to it at the time, but when he looked at the fluorite tree sculpture in front of him, he suddenly remembered this record.

He didn't know what Xiaguang Square looked like three thousand years ago. But he still remembered that on the map from three thousand years ago that he had just looked at in the Royal Court of Anjou, there happened to be a lake on the street next to Widow Street, named Lake Andema.

A tree made of fluorite? A glowing wishing tree?

Could the tree in front of me be the one Lucas was talking about?

Angel noticed that there was a shop selling wishing wind chimes near the square, and a group of girls gathered around him chattering.

Angel walked over and vaguely heard the conversation of the group of girls: "I heard that this glorious wishing tree is very effective... I hope it can bless me and make Colon fall in love with me."

"I just hope that Master Vocabulary can come to Lost Music City to hold a concert next month."

"I hope I can lose weight..."

They bought several copper wind chimes and wrote their wishes. The merchant immediately arranged for someone to hold a ladder to hang their wishing wind chimes on the fluorite tree sculpture.

"So this is how the wind chimes above came from." Angel thought to himself, no wonder there were so many notes hanging on the wind chimes.

Just now he glanced at a few notes with his spiritual tentacles, most of which were wishes for blessings for his family. Of course, there were also words similar to the thoughts of these girls, but the most bizarre one was a golden wind chime hanging on the top: "I hope my

A certain place became five centimeters longer."

When Angel was stunned, the group of girls had left. The merchant raised his head and saw Angel standing in front of him.

"This guest, do you want to buy a wishing wind chime?" the merchant said with a smile, "The radiant wishing tree is very effective. The current princess is here to pray for a good husband, and it finally comes true."

The merchant pointed to the golden wind chimes on the top of the tree sculpture: "The top one is the princess's wishing wind chime."

Angel followed the merchant's words and looked over. After careful analysis, he found that the merchant was not lying. There was indeed a note on it with a promise of marriage.

"How do you sell this wishing wind chime?" Angel asked casually.

"The copper wind chime costs 2 gold coins and can be hung on the tree for one month. The silver wind chime costs 20 gold coins and can be hung on the tree for one year. As for the golden wind chime, it costs 200 gold coins. As long as the tree sculpture still belongs to

Our Chamber of Commerce will help you hang it on it forever." The merchant said calmly, but the price in his words was amazing.

One gold coin is enough for ordinary people to have food and clothing for a year, but here two gold coins can hang a wind chime for a month.

It is estimated that only nobles and wealthy businessmen with spare money are qualified to hang wind chimes.

Angel picked up a golden wind chime and played with it. The merchant's eyes suddenly lit up, and he began to talk endlessly about the advantages of the golden wind chime, such as how to clean the dust every three days, and when it rains, there will be a rain cloth to cover it...

…and guarantee a very high success rate for your wishes.

Angel didn't believe this. He had just sensed the tree sculpture, which had no energy fluctuations. Basically, it was a lie.

But he didn't come here just to expose the merchant's tricks.

Angel: "Boss, did you just say that this tree belongs to your chamber of commerce?"

"Yes, the tree itself was customized by the owner of Liuying Chamber of Commerce from Master Warsaw."

"This... radiant wishing tree does look very beautiful and dreamy. I would like to ask, when was the carving of this tree completed?"

Angel swallowed. When he asked this question, he felt inexplicably expectant.

The merchant's brows were furrowed. The guy in front of him didn't want to buy a wind chime. He was still asking questions, which made him feel a little unhappy. Moreover, his clothes were also a bit sloppy. Could he be playing tricks on him?

When he was thinking about whether to let the store clerk kick him out, a large bag was suddenly thrown on the table.

He opened it in confusion and saw that it was filled with gold coins.

"I think this wishing tree is quite interesting, so give me a golden wind chime." Angel said casually.

In an instant, the merchant's expression changed. He didn't even care where the gold coins were taken out from. He respectfully took out a piece of non-perishable sandpaper from the drawer, then took out a quill and a

The inkwell was placed in front of Angel.

"Dear guest, if you have any wishes, please write them down on it. I'll ask the waiter to pick a perfect seat for you later, and make sure it doesn't get wet!" The merchant rubbed his palms and made a dog-leg gesture towards Angel.

Attitude.

200 gold coins is not a small amount of money. The other party threw out such a bag of gold coins without caring, which shows how rich the financial resources are!

Angel took the quill and did not write immediately. Instead, he looked at the merchant: "You haven't answered the question I asked just now. When was the carving of this tree completed?"

This time, the merchant did not hesitate and said directly: "It happened more than 600 years ago, and Master Warsaw passed away 600 years ago, so I definitely didn't lie."

After hearing this, Angel nodded expressionlessly.

But in the bottom of his heart, he sighed, "It really is so."

That’s it again!

It was clearly something Lucas himself said, but it did not appear in his time, but was delayed until hundreds or even thousands of years later. Although many of the contents are inconsistent, the overall core has not changed.

Once or twice is a coincidence, but if it happens so many times, it must be inevitable.

There is indeed something weird about Lucas. People in the Shuojin era couldn't find it and just thought he was a liar. Only later generations will slowly investigate and find out that there are many weird things in it.

"Guest, why don't you start writing?"

Angel came back to his senses when the merchant's urging came to his ears: "I'm sorry, I was just thinking about what to write better. I have too many wishes that I want to realize, and I'm sorting them out in my mind."

The merchant nodded understandingly and looked at Angel with a kind look. He actually paid for the golden wind chime without even considering his wishes. He was just a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Angel, who was treated as a fat sheep to be slaughtered, after thinking for a moment, quickly wrote a row of words on the paper with a pen.

"May Teacher Jon recover from his condition, may my brother be in good health, and may the fire of the lion's heart never be extinguished."
