Chapter 168 Fusion
Anthony lowered his eyes, his half-long hair covering his eyebrows and eyes.
It was difficult to see his emotions.
He did not defend himself, but slowly walked towards the Elf Mother Tree.
As Anthony approached, the Elf Mother Tree emitted a radiant light, and the dark aura that enveloped her was gradually dispelled by the light.
The blood magic circle that exuded an ominous aura was also melting and disintegrating until it dissipated.
The people trapped in the tree were saved, and Zhao Simo distributed the food to them.
He glanced at Anthony and considerately took the others out of the temple.
Hu Jianye was puzzled and asked, "Zhao Simo, why did you pull us out?"
"Can't you see? Liu Jianan is about to receive the gift from the Mother Tree. What happens next probably involves the secrets of the elves, so it's not convenient for us to be there." Zhao Simo explained patiently.
Wang Hu's eyes lit up: "The gift from the Mother Tree, could it be..."
Zhao Simo nodded slightly. This time the secret realm was more special than he had imagined.
He didn't expect Anthony to be the key to the assessment secret realm, and he didn't expect that the other party actually guided Liu Jianan to get everything he needed to complete the assessment. He
is really blessed by nature and has amazing luck.
At this time, in the temple.
Liu Jianan looked at Anthony's back, and for no reason he felt nervous: "What are you going to do?"
Anthony turned around and still looked at Liu Jianan tenderly: "I am a part of the Elf Mother Tree. Only when I merge with her can I become a complete Elf Mother Tree."
"Then aren't you..." Liu Jianan felt dazed.
"Master, this is my responsibility and my destiny." Anthony smiled slightly, "Don't worry, the reward I prepared for you must be beyond your imagination..."
"Is there no room for maneuver?" Liu Jianan choked up.
Indeed, his most important goal on this trip was to get the spiritual treasure.
But this does not mean that he can accept Anthony's departure calmly.
Although Anthony has been using him, their goals are the same and not contradictory.
But they have been together all the way, sharing life and death, fighting side by side.
In his heart, Anthony is just like his brother, a companion who can be trusted with his back.
Anthony smiled: "Master, I am glad that you are still willing to worry about such a despicable me."
Liu Jianan shook his head: "I don't think you are despicable. If it were me, shouldering the heavy responsibility of saving the elves, I would definitely try every means to grasp all the hope that can be grasped."
"Thank you, my dear friend, I have never been so happy as I am now." Anthony summoned his truncated piano.
Then he opened his lips slightly: "Please allow me to play a song for you at the end."
The melodious piano sounded, and the clear notes swayed the soul.
Liu Jianan couldn't help but shed a tear from the corner of his eye.
"My dear friend, please don't cry for me. Your tears are the most precious treasure in the world."
He stretched out his hand to Liu Jianan.
Liu Jianan only felt a breeze blowing through the corners of his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, the tears had been wiped away and his eyes did not feel the slightest discomfort.
And Anthony was in his sight, opening his arms and hugging the Elf Mother Tree.
In an instant, countless vines tightly wrapped around him.
His body dissipated into crystal green light spots.
A green hairpin was delivered to Liu Jianan by the vines, and along with it, a crystal ball.
Anthony came alone and took nothing away.
Liu Jianan held the crystal wood hairpin tightly, her heart aching.
"My condolences." Sanila came to Liu Jianan's side, and her eyes were instantly attracted by the crystal ball.
Squatting down and picking up the crystal ball, she murmured, "This is..."
Liu Jianan looked at the crystal ball, hope in his eyes again: "Soul-nourishing bead! Odysseus had stored a soul in the Soul-nourishing bead before, but I broke it! Later, Anthony restored it."
He looked at Sanila hesitantly: "Then can this Soul-nourishing bead still work now?"
Sanila felt the magical fluctuations in the Soul-nourishing bead: "There is a soul living in it. Although it is weak, it is indeed recovering slowly."
Maybe soon, Anthony can be reborn with the help of the Soul-nourishing bead!
After understanding this, Liu Jianan was ecstatic.
He entrusted the Soul-Nourishing Orb to Sanila: "Teacher, I'll leave Anthony in your care."
They couldn't stay in Nor Continent for too long, but Sanila was originally a creature from Nor Continent, and she might be able to wait until the day when Anthony is reborn.
Sanila gladly accepted the Soul-Nourishing Orb: "In fact, when I first saw Anthony, I felt that his aura was very friendly."
She stroked the Soul-Nourishing Orb, feeling a little regretful: "At that time, I only thought that Anthony was an elf hiding among the human race, but I didn't expect that he was actually the incarnation of the Mother Tree."
After Sanila sighed, the fusion of the Elf Mother Tree was also nearing its end.
The light dissipated, and the roots of the Elf Mother Tree became thicker and stronger.
New leaves also grew on the dry branches.
The Elf Mother Tree's voice was kind and distant: "Children, come in, let us complete the final test."
As it spoke, the roots of the Elf Mother Tree spread out like Moses parting the sea, revealing the heart of the tree in the middle.
Liu Jianan and Sanila followed the guidance of the Elf Mother Tree and walked into the heart of the Elf Mother Tree.
They saw a beating heart, and countless crisscrossing veins began from there.
Sanila couldn't help looking around: "This is my first time entering the heart of the Elf Mother Tree. According to historical records, the heart is the core of the Elf Mother Tree, and all energy must be transported to all parts of the mother tree through the heart."
She smiled and said, "Thanks to you this time, otherwise I would never have the chance to enter the heart of the tree in my life."
At this time, four lotus platforms appeared in front of them.
"These four lotus platforms correspond to the four seasons." The fairy mother tree seemed to be worried that they could not solve the puzzle, and frantically revealed the question, "Spring, summer, autumn and winter, each season corresponds to a rare treasure."
Liu Jianan thought for a moment and said, "Do you mean that I should put treasures of different attributes on them?"
The fairy mother tree smiled and said, "You can also think about what treasures you have obtained along the way."
Yes, Anthony said that he guided them to obtain various treasures along the way in order for the fairy mother tree to be reborn.
In spring, all things revive, which is the beginning of a year and a new beginning.
He and Sanila looked at each other and thought of the fairy fruit at the same time.
Sanila placed the fairy fruit on the first lotus platform.
Instantly, the lotus platform glowed with precious light, and slowly rose up under the gaze of the two people, floating in the air.
Was this a success?
Liu Jianan held his breath, not even daring to breathe, quietly waiting for the Elf Mother Tree to announce the result.
