Mike's words were clearly not what the little tree spirit had expected.
He looked at Mike in surprise and then said a little nervously,
“Did you say that you would take me?”
There was a little hope in his words. Sure enough, he wanted that answer.
Mike smiled.
“Why not?”
He did not hate the spirit of the little tree. He even had a good impression of it.
The spirit of the small tree will leave the village when it is grown.
Then it will be killed by the players.
Mike could probably change the result, and that was a very easy thing for him.
So, like he said.
Whynot?
Upon hearing Mike's words, the spirit of the small tree gradually changed from nervous to excited.
Of course, he wanted to go out and take a look first. If not for his weak strength, he might have already left this place.
“Good, good! If possible, take me with you.
“You're right, why not?”
The spirit of the small tree happily approached Mike.
However, Mike reached out a hand to stop him and reminded.
“Sorry. I have to tell you something first.
“I just lied to you. We're not coming back. Even so, do you still want to leave here with us?”
Hearing this, the little tree spirit did not have time to react before the princess became nervous.
He subconsciously squeezed Mike's hand.
He was worried that the little tree spirit would tell the other mature tree spirits about this.
In fact, even if they did not return, the mature tree spirit had no right to stop them.
As long as they could pass the examination, even a young tree spirit could leave the village. This is the rule.
The princess did not fully understand this, so she was worried.
Mike doesn't care about this.
He knew that the little tree spirit must have longed for the outside world.
This will determine his decision.
“No problem!” the little tree spirit nodded, and then added, “If I want to return, I will return by myself.”
Mike said nothing of his response.
In fact, if the little tree spirit left the Tree Spirit Village, he could not return by himself.
As long as it leaves Mike, it will be ripped apart by other players.
After all, killing him would earn EXP points.
The players saw this kind of killing as a very natural thing.
Mike knew that if he did not take the spirit of the small tree, sooner or later he would die at the hands of the players.
Unless it stays here, but obviously, that little tree spirit will not stay here.
It was easy for Mike to protect the spirit of the small tree, and he was willing to do so from the affection he had developed for her during their brief encounter.
However, if he wanted to come back later, Mike would not ask him to stay.
That's not good for Mike.
The satisfied feeling of a good deed was not enough for Mike to spend too much of his energy on it.
He simply nodded and brought the princess into the depths of the village.
As for the small tree spirit, it did not see anything wrong and happily followed.
The two of them and the tree came to the center of the village.
(or are those three tree spirits? At least the spirit of the small tree thought so. XD)
In the middle of the village was a very small pond.
The spirit of the small tree jumped to Mike's side and pointed to the pond.
“If you want to enter the secret world, you just need to jump in. This is the entrance.”
The princess looked into the pool and held Mike's hand tightly again. He said nervously,
The spirit of the little tree immediately became proud again.
“Do not worry. It looks like a pool, but there is no water after you enter.”
It seems like showing off the image of “sage”, which makes him feel satisfied.
Mike glanced at the princess, then at the spirit of the small tree that was only knee high. He smiled and said,
“Then, let's go to the outside world!”
With that, he immediately jumped into the pool.
The princess was about to say “Wait” but before she could say anything, Mike pulled her in.
Two consecutive “Plop” votes came from the pool. The spirit of the small tree excitedly shouted,
“Ya, yes, let's go to the outside world.”
After that, he also jumped in.
Other “Plop” votes.
The Tree Spirit Village regained its peace, leaving only the surface of the pond with a layer of ripples.
..
When Mike opened his eyes and sat down, the spirit of the small tree was already standing beside him.
Meanwhile, the princess was still lying on the ground, not yet awake.
When the spirit of the small tree saw that Mike had woken up, he excitedly jumped up and down and said,
“Haha, you're awake too. Obviously, I was in first place, and you were in second place.
“And he's in last place. Very paralyzed.”
Looking at the appearance of a living little tree spirit, Mike could not help but laugh. After all, this was his first defeat since his rebirth.
“Is this a competition to see who wakes up first? Sounds very interesting.”
“It's true, it's true. This is very interesting.” the spirit of the small tree proudly raised its head and echoed.
“Hmm.” the princess, who was lying on the side, snorted softly and slowly opened her eyes.
When Mike saw that the princess had woken up, he smiled and said,
“It looks like we were too hard and woke him.”
“Yes, yes, yes. We woke him.”
The princess opened her eyes, and there was a look of confusion in her eyes. He looked around and asked,
“Where is this?”
Mike looked at the little tree spirit teasingly and said,
“We should ask our clever little tree spirit about this.”
“Ya, yes, I am very smart.” the little tree spirit was happy again, and added, “also, my name is Stone.”
“What?” The princess and Mike showed half-shocked and half-confused looks at the same time.
“You are clearly a tree spirit, why are you called Stone?”
Stone said with a puzzled face, “Is this weird? I have been called Stone since I was born.”
Mike and the princess looked at each other and said nothing.
It seemed that tree spirits had their own naming style.
“Then, Mr Stone, what should we do now?”
Mike looked around and asked.
There was no water here, but it gave people the feeling of being underwater. The environment around green fog.
“What should we do? I don't know either. It's my first time here.”
Stone replied as if it was a normal thing, but there was a hint of disappointment in his tone.
It can no longer maintain the image of knowing all the answers. It just became “s sage” for a short time.
“Is that so?” Mike stood up smiling.
“Then, let's walk forward and take a look. I am very curious about what is special about this secret world.”
The princess also stood up, but she did not say anything.
This was because he was too agitated after leaving the City of Light. He could only rely on the adventurer in front of him this.
On the other hand, the spirit of the small tree, Stone, was extremely excited. He shouted loudly,
“Yes, yes, let's walk forward and have a look.”
