Chapter 2132 Complaints
Everyone returned to the warehouse.
Vannes looked at the dead branches of the sacred tree and the magic array that Fang Heng had set up on the ground. A hint of surprise flashed across his face, and then his expression changed. He walked forward, squatted down, and examined the magic array carefully.
Yule waited carefully at the side.
Half an hour pa.s.sed.
During the process, Vannes" expression changed several times, and he even reached out to touch the magic array pattern more than once.
Finally, Vannes shifted his gaze away from the magic array and looked at the branch of the sacred tree. His eyes were filled with obvious displeasure.
"Is this how you treat the branches of the sacred tree?"
Mo Jiawei was stunned.
What did he mean?
Still not satisfied?
Yule stepped forward and apologized, "I"m very sorry, elder. We"ve already spent too much effort to take back the branch of the sacred tree from OmniTech Company. We really can"t protect the branch of the sacred tree and transport it back in one piece."
Vannes wore a displeased expression, his voice cold, "More failures than successes."
[Hint: The player completed the mission-The mysterious veil of the tree spirits.]
[Hint: The player has unlocked the affinity with the tree spirits.]
[Hint: The player"s initial affinity with the tree spirits is -5.]
[Hint: Due to the player"s performance, the player"s favorability with the tree spirits has decreased by 10 points. Current favorability -15.]
Mo Jiawei frowned when he saw the game hint, feeling displeased.
He thought, "What"s this supposed to mean? We worked hard to retrieve your stuff and even restored the magic array for you. You don"t even say thank you, and now you"re complaining about us?"
"Forget it," Vannes waved his hand. "The sacred tree branch is an important item leading to the Realm of G.o.ds. You need to find a good place to store it. I"ll come find you once I have more information."
After saying that, Vannes was about to leave.
Mo Jiawei immediately took half a step forward and stopped him, "Wait."
Vannes slowly turned his head to Mo Jiawei and asked, "Is there anything else, human?"
Mo Jiawei replied, "We"ve heard some things about the world of the tree spirits. It"s said that the tree spirits enter the Inner World through the branches of the sacred tree."
Vannes glanced at the two of them with obvious disdain in his eyes, saying, "Not bad. So what?"
Mo Jiawei was getting more and more annoyed when he heard the other party"s tone.
For the sake of the mission, he decided to endure it.
"If there"s anything we can do, we want to help."
"Help?"
Vannes was surprised when he heard that. Then, he sneered with a hint of arrogance on his face, "You"re just a human. Why should I believe you? And do you think that with your abilities, you can help the tree spirit race?"
Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei looked at each other.
This tree spirit...
He was really annoying!
Vannes, who had been about to leave, took a few steps outside the warehouse before suddenly stopping in his tracks. He turned back to Fang Heng and said, "By the way, I heard that the Federation is currently searching for both of you. Because of your actions, Crescent Moon Town is now under heavy surveillance by both the Federation and OmniTech Company."
Mr. Yule stepped forward, attempting to explain on Fang Heng"s behalf, "Elder, we were trying to stop..."
"Foolish!" Vannes interrupted coldly, "Who told you to disobey orders?! You acted on your own and even told outsiders about the Inner World. What else do you have to refute!"
Yule said with his head lowered and apologized, "I"m sorry. We promise that nothing like this will happen again."
"Hmph, forget it. Seeing that you"ve been doing your best for me, I"ll let this matter go. It won"t happen again." Vannes looked at Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei again and said, "You two, even though the Federation wants you, are you still willing to take a huge risk to work for the tree spirits?"
Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei looked at each other and chuckled in their hearts.
If it wasn"t for the mission, who would care about you?!
On the side, Sandy nodded shamelessly, his face filled with piety, as he respectfully declared, "In order to illuminate the world with the glory of the G.o.d of Nature, we are willing to sacrifice everything for the tree spirit race!"
Mo Jiawei was shocked and turned to look at Sandy.
He thought to himself, "This NPC has no bottom line. How can you say such shameless things?"
What made him even more speechless was that the tree spirit in front of him seemed to be enjoying it.
[Hint: The player team"s favorability with the tree spirits +1.]
Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei could not help but look at each other before turning to Sandy again.
Or do you know how to lick other people"s boots...
"Very good. I can feel your sincerity."
Sandy continued pleading, "Sir, may I borrow some of the ancient texts left by the tree spirit race to study? I wish to be influenced by a civilization greater than our human race. In just a few days, through some fragments of human history describing the tree spirit lineage, I have realized how magnificent this civilization is. I am willing to dedicate my lifetime to explore this civilization, but if I am the only one to delve into it, I fear that even a lifetime of effort may not reveal one-thousandth of the brilliance of the tree spirit civilization..."
"Hmm, you are indeed sincere. Let"s wait until this matter is resolved."
"Oh! Thank you so much!" Sandy"s face lit up with excitement and grat.i.tude. He said, "Being able to study the great inheritance of the tree spirit race... It"s just... too exciting for me! I"m sorry for being so impolite. Could I please make another request...?"
Vannes was in a good mood.
The tree spirits were a race that stood at the top of the pyramid. A little bit of inheritance was enough to make humans bow down and be grateful.
"Alright, since you"re so pious, I"ll grant you personal access to the tree spirits" database in advance. However, if you fail the mission, your access will be revoked."
Vannes could not resist Sandy"s coaxing and pestering. He looked at Fang Heng and the others again and said, "I don"t know what restoration magic array you"re talking about. I only know that in the past, we used to enter the Inner World through the branches of the sacred tree, which is the dozen or so withered trees in front of us. The branches of the sacred tree contain the marked points that lead to the Inner World."
"I"ll take it that you"ve restored the marked point in the withered tree. But even so, without the power source, you still can"t activate the teleportation to the Inner World."
Fang Heng thought to himself.
This was the understanding of the tree spirits.
The magic array was equivalent to the coordinates.
They had already obtained the coordinates.
As for heading to the coordinates, it required energy.
The branch of the sacred tree was originally the energy supplier.
In fact, this was not much different from their understanding.
They also needed energy to activate the magic array.
Both sides had the same goal.
