Hearing this question, the princess was clearly worried.
He even wondered if the question was secretly directed at the two of them.
However, the spirit of the small tree, Stone, was still unaware of it. It raised its hand excitedly and wanted to answer that question.
Mike closed his mouth again.
The spirit of the little tree, Stone, looked back at Mike. This time, there was no doubt. Instead, it showed a hopeful look.
Clearly, it had realized that it would give the wrong answer again.
‘Very close. Fortunately, I have a friend here,’ thought Stone.
However, this time, Mike did not tell the answer directly.
He hesitated.
If Mike answers her with the right answer, will Stone understand that the two people in front of him who seem so different from her are two big liars?
If Stone understood this, what would he think?
Will be very surprised or very, very sad…
Thinking of this, Mike suddenly felt a little dumbfounded.
His first reaction was not to leave this place but to think of the feeling of the little tree spirit.
He dislikes this side of himself, but this is the most heartfelt reaction from Mike's heart.
‘Listen, Mike, this is just a game,’ Mike said inwardly.
He took a deep breath and then said to the little tree spirit word for word,
“You should not trust them easily, even if they have the permission of the Spirit Tree Village, because the fact that they look different from you is already a problem.”
As Mike said these words, he observed the expression of the small tree spirit, Stone.
He was worried that Stone would be dumbfounded.
But he thinks too much.
Stone does not realize that something is suspicious, instead, quickly hands over the answer given by Mike.
“I won't easily trust them, because they look different from me!”
Stone said this without the slightest hesitation, which made the princess truly relieved.
The old voice went back to silence.
This silence made the spirit of the small tree, Stone, feel very hopeful.
He hopes to pass the test.
However, in the view of the princess and Mike, this silence was very difficult to endure.
They were a little worried that this mysterious old voice was familiar with their current situation.
They're worried that this old voice will tell Stone that the two people behind you are fraudsters.
However, the old voice did not do it.
He slowly said,
“No matter what, you answered correctly. I must give you the right to leave the Spirit Tree Village.
“But, my son, I hope you can remember today's question in your heart. This will allow you to protect yourself well in your future life.”
The little tree spirit, Stone, nodded excitedly. It turned around to look at Mike and the princess.
“Did you hear that? We have succeeded. We can go and see the outside world!”
The princess was also affected by Stone's emotions. He's a little excited.
He could finally go home.
However, Mike just smiled and did not look too excited.
These questions made him feel very uncomfortable.
The simple-minded race wanted to leave the village and see the outside world. To do that, they had to go through several tests, which Mike found very reasonable.
However, Mike thought that his test would be like a battle.
After all, these tree spirits would definitely face a battle when they went outside.
What he did not expect was.
In the Tree Spirit Village exam, human lies were more dangerous than fighting, lies were more deadly, and required more vigilance.
Mike was a little confused.
Could it be that he, or the way of life of the players, is completely wrong?
Not only him, but the entire human society would not be able to agree on an answer that would satisfy everyone.
If the players did not upgrade themselves in the Second World, the future battles would cause the entire real world to fall into a great crisis.
However, if they chose to improve themselves, they would have to continue killing in the Second World.
Mike was curious.
The first tree spirit to leave the tree spirit village, whether attacked and deceived by humans or other races, or whether the tree spirit hurt humans first.
Mike will probably never get an answer.
At this moment, the green light from the pearl caught Mike's attention, drawing his mind back into his eyes.
The green light pierced through Stone's body. Stone looked at his body with curiosity. He could feel some changes in his body.
The old voice continued,
“Nak, you have obtained the right to leave the village. Come out and see.
“If you are bored with the outside world, you can come back anytime. The village will always welcome you.
“I hope you can protect yourself ..”
The next moment, the ball emitted a powerful light. This powerful light forbade them to have a clear view of their surroundings.
They don't know how long time has passed.
When they opened their eyes again, they had already returned to the ground by the pool.
The little tree spirit looked at Mike and said in disbelief,
“We... pass the exam?”
Mike nodded and said,
“I think so.”
“Big!” the spirit of the small tree, Stone, jumped excitedly. “Because that's the problem. Come on out and see!”
With that, he jumped to the edge of the village.
Mike and the princess look at each other and follow in the footsteps of the little tree spirit, Stone.
Along the way, Stone spoke to himself excitedly.
“Good, good, I can finally see the outside world.
“If it wasn't for you guys, I'd have failed a long time ago.
“It's nice to be friends with you guys.
“When I get out, I will definitely visit your house!
“We will be friends forever!”
The spirit of the small tree continued to speak, but Mike did not say a word.
Clearly, the innocent spirit of the small tree did not realize that the two people behind it were not his own kind, but the humans who had deceived him.
Mike doesn't know whether to tell Stone the truth, nor does he know how to start a conversation.
Soon, they arrived at the edge of the village.
All the spirits of the mature trees greeted them along the way. They seemed to be able to sense the change in the spirit body of the small tree, so they did not stop it. Instead, they showed a loving and respectful look.
Even though they were all adults, they never seemed to leave the village.
They could do nothing but encourage the behavior of the small tree spirit, Stone.
As they walked further and further away from the village, the surrounding environment gradually became foggy, just as the princess had said.
However, the spirit of the small tree, Stone's body, emitted a faint light.
This light spread a mist around them, allowing them to see the road ahead clearly.
Finally, they walked out of the thick fog and arrived at the Elwyn Forest.
Looking at the sky outside, Stone shouted in surprise.
“Is this the outside world? Everything is very... unbelievable!”
He looked over, wanting to share his joy with Mike.
However, Mike showed a hesitant expression.
He thought for a moment and finally said,
“Stone, I think it's time to tell you something.”
