"Welcome to my castle. What makes me happy is that I have met several guests with special abilities. This makes me even happier." Green said a few polite words and left with Arnold.
After the old man left, everyone lost their interest and prepared to rest in their rest area.
The servants knocked on the doors of Evelyn and the other three women, saying that Green wanted to talk to them about something.
The three girls hurried to the backyard and saw Green and Arnold sitting at the stone table drinking tea.
“Grandpa, what do you want us to do?” Although Evelin is the housewife, Anna is the oldest and Evelin is not jealous, so Anna usually stands up first when something happens.
"I actually heard some of the things you talked about during dinner today. The three little guys are all very promising. You should make good arrangements for them. Once they have some basic skills, I will let Arnold teach them.
This is the first thing, just remember it, don't discriminate against Fitz and Ann, the orcs are friends of our family, not enemies."
"Don't worry, Grandpa. We know the severity of the matter and understand that talented people are hard to come by. Lin went so far as to buy slaves in order to have capable people under his command. We all know why he did this, so please don't worry, Grandpa." Anna replied calmly.
"Well! You are all smart kids who know how to share Lin's worries. Oh, right! Let me ask you something.
What Danny said today about trees, do you think it was true or false? "At this point, Green made a rare joke.
"Originally, I thought Danny might have drunk too much, but after listening to your tone, I boldly guessed that there might be another hidden meaning behind what Danny said." Considering the context of the incident, Anna felt that the old man would not be so bored that he would let the three of them come to the backyard to listen to his jokes.
"I hope you won't be surprised by what you see next." As he said this, he led the three women into the wooden house that Lin Xingchen usually used as a cover.
The five people were standing in the wooden house. Green clapped his hands, and saw a light gate appear in the wooden house. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and in the pitch-dark environment, the other side of the light gate was still as bright as day.
The eyes of the three women who walked into the light gate one after another were full of disbelief.
The first thing that caught his eye was a tree that was so huge that it was hard to describe. Just as Danny had described, the tree was big enough to cover most of Maple Leaf Territory.
"If you have anything you want to ask, just ask now! After tonight you will have to ask Lin." I don't know if Green is particularly happy recently. His previously serious face is always filled with a smile these days.
"Grandpa, what kind of tree can grow so big? And why can't we see this big tree in the castle for so long, but Danny can see it?" Eve quickly asked her doubts.
"You can call this tree the Tree of Life. The reason you can't see it is because it has the ability to protect itself. You can't see it because the time has not come for you yet."
“According to my calculations, when your children are about to be born, you will naturally see Evelin and Anna.”
"You all should know that our Star Clan is not actually a pure human race, right?"
"We know that Lin has looked up clues about the elves before, and Lin also said that he is not a pure human."
Green nodded and continued his explanation: "I don't know if Lin has told you that Lin and I actually have the blood of the royal family of the high elves flowing in our bodies. This is one of the reasons why Lin's appearance is so outstanding.
The Tree of Life is the origin of the elves and is also the guardian of the elves. When your children grow up, I will let you recuperate here.
Through the baptism of the Spirit of Life from the Tree of Life, your children will become more outstanding in the future."
"Grandpa, you haven't told us why we can't see it but Danny can? And will Danny's seeing it bring us trouble?" Evelyn asked carefully.
"Even you don't believe in the existence of the Tree of Life. Do you think others will believe it? I don't know if Danny can see the Tree of Life, but one thing is certain. Arnold and I both sensed a strange magic from that child."
"Your Grandpa Arnold and I both studied martial arts. Although I have also tried to practice magic in the past few years, I started late and can only rely on some bloodline bonuses. It's a pity that Lin is not here. If he were here, he would definitely be able to explain why."
"It's enough for you to know the secret here. This is the biggest secret of our Star Clan." Then Green told the three girls some legends and stories about the Tree of Life.
It was already the next morning when the five people returned to the cabin. They had not rested for the whole night but none of them looked tired.
"Okay, let's go back early! With the nourishment of the Tree of Life, neither your lifespan nor your appearance will change much. To put it in an exaggerated way, I guess you will still look like this when I'm old." Having said that, Green laughed to himself.
"Master, you are not suitable for telling jokes. I think you are more suitable for being serious." Arnold on the side couldn't stand it anymore and had to remind Green that his way of joking was not funny at all.
When the three girls heard Arnold say this, they all tried hard to hold back their laughter, fearing that laughing would embarrass Green.
"Hmph... Old man, remember to be more tactful next time when you speak." After saying that, he left angrily.
Watching the two old men leave one after another, the three women naturally didn't want to stay any longer as there were still many things waiting for them today.
“Hey...Sister Anna, do you think Grandpa Green has changed a lot?” Evelin asked Ana beside her softly.
"I didn't have much time to see Grandpa, so I'm not very clear about his personality in the past, but over the past year or so, I feel that Grandpa is getting younger and younger. What do you think, Avril?"
"Grandpa is indeed much younger than when we first met him. As for his personality, I think he probably wants us to relax!"
"Almost! Although Grandpa Green's hair is slowly turning into bright silver like Lin's, he doesn't look as old as before. I remember that when I was a child, Grandpa Green had a lot more wrinkles on his head."
"Well, don't worry about what the old man thinks. He does this for our family. We just need to know it and don't flatter him deliberately."
"Next, we just have to take good care of the affairs of the territory and wait for Lin to come back and let him see our sisters' abilities." After giving a few instructions, Anna went to arrange matters concerning Danny and Fitz.
In this way, the three young men chasing their dreams officially settled in Maple Leaf Territory under Anna's arrangement, and their new life naturally had a different lifestyle.
But fortunately, Fitz and Danny only needed to follow the arrangements. On the contrary, Ann was brought by Anna and became the one who integrated the fastest among the three.
Danny and Fitz's daily life was simple. They first went to the school in Maple Leaf Territory to learn some simple reading and writing skills.
Fitz's appearance scared the children in the school half to death. His nearly two-meter height, burly figure, and exposed fangs all showed that he was a fierce character.
Children are the most receptive to new things in this world. With the teacher's patient guidance, everyone soon accepted this big guy.
On the contrary, Danny and his friends didn't care much about him. In school, the two were laughed at by their classmates because they couldn't remember what the teacher taught them, but they were also envied by their classmates because of their outstanding performance. All in all, for Danny and others, this place really met their expectations of becoming powerful.
Life will not care whether you are happy or unhappy, it will just go on like this. Lin Xingchen now has a new understanding of this sentence.
The goblins continued to make improvements on some of the machinery he proposed, and their efficiency has now been greatly improved compared to before.
If an acquaintance saw Lin Xingchen's appearance now, he would definitely be surprised. The handsome man with elegant manners in the past now has disheveled hair and casual clothes, without any of his former charm.
"Sir, everything in front has been arranged and we can start at any time!" Gao Ge walked up to him and said with his head raised.
"Okay, then warn them to retreat. I'm going to start detonating."
The goblins left the designated location one after another. As the signal representing readiness was sent, Lin Xingchen's mental communication magic power soon caused a series of loud bangs and a hill was blown up.
The goblins have seen many scenes like this and are no longer afraid of them. This is a solution that Lin Xingchen came up with. He really couldn't bear to see the goblins mining with manpower.
Through experiments with the goblins, they finally figured out how to use magic instead of explosives to mine.
After the mine was opened, the next process began: collecting. Lin Xingchen also participated in it. Only by participating in the work with the goblins would he not feel empty and lonely.
After throwing the largest piece of ore into the cart, everyone pulled the cart back. Just when they were about to reach the mining machine, the sky over the Kag Continent suddenly changed dramatically, creating a scene of the sky collapsing and the earth splitting.
The goblins, who were originally happy to see this scene, hid themselves in all the possible places like frightened ostriches.
"My lord, something bad has happened. The devil has come!" Gao Ge's purple face was full of seriousness. Lin Xingchen could even feel his voice trembling when he spoke.
"Is it finally coming? That's great, let me see what the devil from the endless abyss is capable of." Lin Xingchen was waiting for this day with great anticipation.
It has been more than half a year since he came to Kag Continent. In these nearly seven months, his strength has finally reached the peak of a sixth-level magician, and his fighting spirit has reached the sixth level.
