Chapter 102

===================

Everyone was shocked.

"You... also believe in the Tree of Life?"

The Queen nodded seriously.

Oh no!

Lian Yunsheng raised his head helplessly and began to swing vigorously, trying to shake off his worries.

Even the ruler of the race believes in this tree, so what’s the point of her trying anything else?

Lian Yun wandered around in despair, it seemed that this mission was really going to fail.

"But..." Lanna, sitting steadily on the swing beside her, spoke again: "Since the Queen can tell us all this, why not just tell us the solution?"

……Why?

Lian Yun blinked in confusion.

Isn’t what the Elf Queen said clear enough?

Lanna raised his head and a gentle smile flashed across his face as his eyes swept over her.

He looked directly at the Elf Queen. "If you wish to test our fortitude, there's no need. If you give us a chance, the power of this town will reveal itself to you far beyond your imagination."

test?

Lian Yun was refreshed and quickly cheered up.

It turned out that I was still not experienced enough and could not understand the meaning of the Queen's words. I just thought she was trying to persuade me to leave.

The queen looked at the man without hesitation, and various thoughts flashed through her mind in the blink of an eye.

In the end, there was only a very faint smile.

It’s really hard to deal with.

"I'm afraid that if I tell you, you won't be able to do anything about it."

She was testing them, and it was also to give herself a vague possibility. As long as this possibility did not appear, she could still stay here as if nothing had happened, without having to think about the next step.

However, it seems they don't like waiting.

In order to avoid being in a more passive position, the Queen still mentioned the possibility.

"If you can make the Tree of Life wake up again."

The Queen's voice suddenly became powerful and serious.

"If the Tree of Life can awaken... it will tell us, tell the elves, what to do next."

In other words, if Lian Yun and the others made the right choice, the Tree of Life would tell them.

“…”

But isn’t this just another way of “leaving everything to fate”?

Lina couldn't sit still any longer. She blinked her big watery eyes, looked up at her grandmother, and pleaded softly in a low voice: "Grandma, how can my sister do something that even you can't do..."

The queen gently pinched her warm little face with tenderness in her heart. Her eyes became complicated for a moment, but she shook her head apologetically.

Even if Lina would blame her, she couldn't change the elves' attitude by herself in a short period of time.

Lina twisted the corner of her clothes, feeling very sad. "If only Mary could come with us, she's the best at taking care of plants. If she came, maybe..."

"I'll do it."

Lina looked over and saw Lian Yun.

She jumped off the swing and Lanna quickly followed.

The two walked towards the Tree of Life, one in front and the other behind.

"elder sister?"

Lina also followed with a look of surprise: "Sister, can you?!"

As soon as she asked this question, she suddenly remembered that Mary seemed to always ask questions to her sister. What could Mary ask?

It must be plant related!

Lian Yun said seriously: "Sister, you can."

Lina nodded quickly and watched Lian Yun's movements with great interest.

The queen didn't expect Lian Yun to agree so quickly, which made her think for a moment that she had issued a task of "picking a flower".

The girl's attitude aroused her curiosity, and she followed her.

One minute later.

The Queen gently approached Lina: "What is she doing?"

The girl clicked at the air, and nodded from time to time with her chin in her hand.

"This is my sister's unique ability." Lina felt proud and wanted to say that her sister was a goddess, but she thought of the elves' bad impression of the "Son of God" and silently swallowed the last sentence.

The Queen suddenly understood and inquired more deeply: "Magician? I didn't notice."

Lian Yun turned around, stretched out a finger and shook it: "No, a full-time lord."

Queen: Eh?

Lian Yun had just reviewed his [Farming] skill and carefully read about the new skill unlocked before setting off - [Plant Dialogue].

[Plant Dialogue: Can catalyze the emergence of intelligence in plants, allowing for dialogue with them. The effect lasts for one day.]

She just figured out the routines of these skills, for example, a type of skill can only be used once a day, and the higher the quality of the plants used, the lower the success rate and the longer the cooling time.

And the quality of this Tree of Life is... [Unknown].

If you want to handle this matter as quickly as possible, you must reduce the number of failures.

It’s best to do it in one go.

Lian Yun shook his hands and took a deep breath, like an athlete about to go on the court.

She carries everyone's hope and solemnly extends her hand...

"Wait, what if I can talk to it?" Lian Yun suddenly paused and turned around. "What should I say?"

What if she said something wrong and made the Tree of Life unhappy, and it turned against her?

Who knows when the next skill refresh will be?

Queen: "...It is very gentle and treats everyone the same. It won't blame you for a simple name. If you are worried about something going wrong, you can simply ask it a question."

She paused. "If the connection is successful, you'll feel like you're in a void... Don't be afraid, don't panic. It won't do anything to harm you."

Lian Yun nodded solemnly, "I understand."

“…”

The Queen couldn't help but ask: "Can you really communicate with the Tree of Life?"

This is exclusive to the elves...

"You'll know if you try it."

Lian Yun rubbed his hands together and took out two luck value UP cards.

Since she reached level 20, the frequency of lucky bags appearing has become once every 8 days. After saving for a long time, she finally saved up 4 lucky cards.

But she didn't dare to press it into one place.

What if all the cards fail this time, then won’t the probability be even slimmer next time?

This was the first time Lian Yun encountered such a difficult situation.

Usually, with everyone around her giving her advice, she could come up with a solution quickly.

And most of the time, she's not the only one working hard.

But now, all hope lies on her.

She was afraid of making mistakes.

Suddenly, a soft and heavy force wrapped around her clenched fist.

This is followed by a further herbal, slightly bitter aroma.

Along with this gentle and familiar breath, Lian Yun's right hand, which was held, seemed to be injected with energy, allowing her mood to slowly relax and calm down.

The warmth faded away gently, Lian Yun opened his palm, and there was a gem.

When she first obtained the [Gem Positive BUFF] skill, she experimented with it several times in succession, giving different effects to different people.

For example, she gave the blacksmith shop a "cool" BUFF to prevent Fiona and the others from sweating profusely while forging iron.

For example, she gave the "Alert" BUFF to the pharmacy because the pharmacy was trying to cultivate poisonous weeds at that time and could not be taken lightly.

Lian Yun had noticed that Lana had an unstable temperament at times, but he was reluctant to talk about it and he didn't ask too many questions.

However, since she noticed it, she couldn't just sit back and do nothing, so she made a "stability" influence BUFF and gave it to Lanna.

Unexpectedly, this day came back to her.

Lian Yun turned his head slightly and met Lana's extremely gentle eyes.

She suddenly calmed down.

With this glance, coupled with the influence of the gem, Lian Yun has calmed down a lot.

Five cards, use them all.

Several lucky cards flipped over and disappeared in a flash.

Lian Yun extended his lucky hand with a five-card bonus and clicked to use the skill.

At a moment when no one could see, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from the center of the trunk of the Tree of Life in front of Lian Yun, making Lian Yun unable to open his eyes. He subconsciously raised his hand to block it.

The queen, who had been watching nothing happen, suddenly widened her eyes.

Of course they couldn't see what happened to Lian Yun, and even if Lian Yun pretended to hear something, they would have no way of knowing.

But her current behavior is exactly the same as her reaction when she first communicated with the Tree of Life!

She brought them here on the first day and told them all this to prevent them from staying in the elves for too long and learning things they shouldn't know.

She didn't have much hope for this girl...

"Catch her!" The queen reacted instantly and suddenly shouted.

Sure enough, the next second, Lana steadily caught Lian Yun who was lying backwards.

Lanna was filled with murderous intent. The queen manipulated the vines to weave a hammock while explaining, "This is normal."

"But you didn't say that just now."

Lanner's voice seemed frozen.

But it’s more than that.

The moment he saw Lian Yun fall down, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

Even after catching Lian Yun and listening to the explanation, his hands were still shaking uncontrollably.

Uncontrollable fear.

Every time Lian Yun encountered such danger, he was afraid, fearing that something really might happen to the adults.

Just like just now, he was standing next to her and had just come into contact with her warm body temperature, and the next moment, he stretched out his hands to catch her without any reaction.

Luo, who was sitting nearby, groped his way over, clenched his fists, and spoke in a dry voice, unable to conceal his nervousness: "Sister..."

His footing was unstable and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Lina caught him with her quick eyes and hands.

"It's okay, it's okay! Sister has established contact!" Lina comforted her repeatedly. Luo was relieved, nodded, and sat beside her.

Entering a "void space", Lian Yun slowly opened his eyes and looked around.

Considering the true form of the "Tree of Life" and the strong light just now, Lian Yun thought that this mysterious "space" would be the dreamlike color of grass and trees, or a mixture of white.

Unexpectedly...

Lian Yun's expression turned around with a complicated look. If I had to describe it...
