MTL - Dawn of the Grey Tower-Chapter 16 You want

The darkness soon faded, and the tree hole underfoot was flat. Judging from the distance, Cheese judged that he had not come to another dimension, and this place was still in the belly of the big tree. For many trees, the living tissue is not actually the core of the interior. The core is the earliest part of the tree that is born, and its vitality is sometimes naturally exhausted as the tree grows older.

What really maintains the survival of the tree is the still viable tissues between the center and the epidermis. As long as they are not damaged, one or two tree holes, or even split in two by lightning, may survive. Having said that, it is difficult for trees that are truly made into tree houses to have a future.

Cheese can now be sure of two things. One is the traces he just saw, left by the dragon. The second is that the so-called mother tree is not the collective or individual consciousness imagined by the giant tree.

That's right, those mushrooms grow out of wood after all. If the tree mother regards them as children, it is as absurd as people have a good opinion of maggots that grow out of corpses. So what is the true face of the tree mother?

In the center of the space covered with tree holes and exuding jewels, there was an oil lamp. The oil lamp illuminated all the treasures through a ring-shaped amplifier with a reflective coating on the back. The mother tree, just below the oil lamp.

In a sense, there is nothing wrong with the names of the mushroom orphans, she is indeed a part of the tree, and she does have the characteristics of motherhood. Because sitting under the oil lamp in the tree hole was a puppet the size of a real person.

The puppet has delicate facial features, and the joints and curves of the body are very delicately carved, even a little too delicate, and she feels very uncomfortable. When beauty reaches a certain extreme, it is likely to bring the opposite look and feel, but it is not ugly, but the weirdness shown after exceeding the threshold.

This is a very beautiful puppet, but also a very strange puppet. She is surrounded by gold and silver jewelry, like wearing a gorgeous dress.

Cheese quickly understood the origin of the strange feeling. Although the puppet's body was human-like, she had no hair on her body. Although her eyes were carved to look open, the eyeballs were all withered together, as if they were stiff. mask. In any case, at this moment in front of him is the deity of the tree mother, which may also be a rare opportunity for Gray Robe to face the evil spirit.

Yes, evil spirits. According to Cheese's system of division of living things and existence, Mother Tree should be classified as evil spirits. She is the product of the consciousness of living things and non-living things left in this place, and the combination of time precipitation and chance. These products usually have natural malice, so they are called evil spirits.

There is a reason for the existence of evil spirits. The first is the emotions that are free in nature. Kindness and positive emotions usually disappear quickly, while pain and malice often persist for a long time. These sediments, which are not easy to be eliminated by nature, accumulate over time, and the quantity and quality will always reach the limit of evil spirits.

However, there are always exceptions. Where intelligent creatures are more active, the evil spirits' maliciousness will be particularly obvious, such as the waters under the waterways and the battlefields where wars frequently occur. The giant wood forest obviously does not meet this characteristic. Although the tree mother is an evil spirit in nature, her maliciousness is very limited, and even mixed with many other things.

"All Worlds"

"I think I need to apologize first for not keeping the promise." Cheese stood on the edge of the light, he wasn't very fond of places where jewels were all over the place, and that reminded him of a name, Broker.

In the previous dream, the existence that caused the rat man plague and claimed to be a **** was shown to people in a similar image. Below the treasures everywhere, is the soil formed by the accumulation of deeper bones.

"There is no need for this. Your promise comes from my expectation that animals in the forest will not move according to the direction of the trees, you are animals."

The puppet did not open its mouth, and the sound came from an ancient music box beside her. The box may have been made by a skilled craftsman. Although time has made the decorative lines on the skin no longer clear, its shape and the sound from the box can still be show level.

"Then I don't know, why are you looking for my animal here?" Cheese wasn't angry, he just followed the other side's words.

When you communicate with evil spirits, you cannot expect to have a normal conversation with them. Evil spirits are paranoid, and their concepts are very rigid, because the conscious body is composed of paranoid thoughts. Communication and obedience are the only options.

"I understand your needs and can help you. On the contrary, I hope you can do one thing for me. Trading or symbiosis, you can choose what you like." The music box continued to utter the words composed of music.

"Need? My only need is to wait here until the storm passes. You've achieved that. But if you want me to do something about it, I have no reason to say no."

The other party's words made Cheese not quite understand. It was just a coincidence that they appeared here. It was the storm that destroyed the flying carriage, forcing Cheese and others to make an emergency landing here, and there was no other reason.

"No, that's not what you want." If the other party wasn't an evil spirit, Gray Robe would definitely have retorted when he heard this. The parties do not know their own needs but the bystanders know that this matter may be reasonable in other people, but it is tantamount to insulting the gray robe.

Every step of Cheese's arrival here has a clear purpose and has been planned. He knows what he wants and is steadily implementing it. Now you actually tell him that his appeal is not that? It is ruled out that this is an attempt to provoke Cheese's words, that is, the tree mother's words have other meanings.

"Since this is the case, then I want to know what my needs are first."

The music box was silent for a while, and just when Cheese wanted to classify the conversation just now as a myth, it sounded again, "You want to fix it, a flute."

"I think you've misunderstood something, I'm not good at playing instruments, and I've never owned one..." Having said that, I can't continue.

Cheese remembered that he did have a flute, called the dragon flute. It was the magic item that he summoned his dragon companion, Migo. It was destroyed on the grassland. At that time, in order to fight against the yew people who were chasing Atta, the gray robe used a flute to release the dragon's breath, and the dragon calling flute was damaged because of this. But how could she know? There are many people who know about this, but it definitely does not include evil spirits thousands of miles away.

"Your flute came from here, and it's no accident that you came back here. Once the connection is established, it doesn't break easily, it tries to heal itself."
