Arthur, who was getting up to fetch his wife, paused. "A guest?"

Conrad considered his words carefully, "Yes, many... guests."

Duke: "..."

"A lot of what?" He wondered if he had misheard.

Conrad calmly said, "More than 2,000 Naga, more than 2,000 Naga over 10 meters tall, sir."

Duke: "..."

...

When the Duke arrived at the West Forest, the tree spirits, who had already been stripped bare by Pepe, were eyeing the snake shawls with shining eyes.

The scene was so dramatic it made one question the meaning of life.

Li Aili used a magical megaphone to maintain order at the scene, shouting, "Don't grab! Don't grab! Hey! There's plenty!"

"Hey! You two male tree spirits over there!! Please don't use Naga tug-of-war! He's alive!!"

The Naga scales that were being fought over were very beautiful in color, a kind of iridescent black.

The two male tree spirits, enraged, simultaneously released their grip upon hearing Li Aili's shout and went to the side to challenge each other to a duel.

The Naga, who almost became the 'tug-of-war rope,' not only didn't mind, but also excitedly wagged its tail at the two male tree spirits like a dog...

[Let's fight! Let's fight!]

Li Aili: "..." What are you so excited about!

Duke: "..."

Li Aili turned around and saw her boyfriend with a blank expression.

Her eyes darted around nervously. "Um, let me explain."

Arthur simply stepped forward, put his arm around Ellie's waist, and leaned down to kiss her forehead.

Then, unable to contain his emotions, he gently embraced her.

“Darling…” He looked up and glanced around with a complicated expression.

Everywhere you look, there are tree spirits with colorful 'giant snakes' wrapped around their trunks.

The scene was indescribably eerie.

"You think the tree spirit isn't strong enough?"

Li Aili: "..."

She suddenly remembered her business and changed the subject, saying, "Oh, right! I left something at the Denton Goblin Bank!"

Arthur also felt he could no longer look directly at the species of the West Forest.

So he put his arm around Li Aili and walked towards the castle, saying, "I will write a letter to my brother-in-law and ask him to keep it for me."

...

At the dinner table, Li Aili enthusiastically recounted the interesting things that had happened on her journey to the Duke.

"So Fishernaki stayed behind to figure out how to take the tree down."

"I'll bring the Naga back first~"

The Duke paused in his hand as he cut the roasted ribs. "He sent you back first?"

Li Aili nodded, "Actually, I've already accomplished my goal for this trip~ but the Bone Naga insisted on giving me that tree."

“However, I think that since the wood elves are good at cultivating plants, why not ask my brother-in-law to cultivate a few more ‘Trees of Youth’, plant one in the West Forest and exchange one for Elder Bonenaga.”

"Ah, speaking of which, I invited it over this time too..."

The Duke's body stiffened.

"But it refused."

The Duke secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After dinner, Li Aili was so tired that she just washed up and went to bed.

The Duke sat in his study, his hands clasped together and resting on his chin.

Before long, the messenger bird that records the spatial beacon flew in.

Immediately afterwards, a magical portal opened.

Fisher-Nankey walked out with graceful steps.

"What about that 'undying one'?" the Duke asked, raising his eyes.

Feshen Nanki said casually, "Once the tree is taken down, it returns to the embrace of the god of the underworld."

The Duke lowered his eyes slightly. "Did the other Naga know about this outcome?"

Fisher-Nankey said, "They should all know that."

He paused, then added, "That 'undead' is somewhat strange."

"To be honest, I was startled when I first saw it."

"Such a massive number of undead."

"If that guy resists, I'm not sure I can handle it myself."

"But strangely enough, it had been waiting for this day to come."

Fishernaki narrowed his pale golden eyes slightly. "Wait for someone to move that tree and give it true death."

The Duke nodded calmly. "It's resolved."

Fishernanki gave him a half-smile. "Looks like you know something."

Arthur Cold Jade simply leaned back in his high-backed chair without saying a word.

Fishernanki sat down on the sofa, his long legs crossed. "So, when does the war begin?"

"It'll be soon. Once I return from the North, they'll be getting restless."

Fisher-Nankey smiled slightly.

The magical light stretched his shadow long.

“Well, I really am,” Fisheranki’s smile deepened, “I’m really looking forward to it.”
