I Try To Enjoy My Life But This Woman Keep Calling Me Villain-Chapter 212: Arrival at the Shadow Fall City

Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Arrival at the Shadow Fall City

I blink for a second before saying.

"Tree of Life? What kind of tree is that?"

Will it be the same tree as the one in the Second Life? There is a quest about Yggdrasil, also known as the Tree of Life and World, in the Second Life, and it is one of the main quests for any Druid classes in the game.

Ash looks at me and says,

"Tree of Life is the tree that supports the entire Central Continent. Its root is the thing that makes our continent fertile. It is a history that is passed down from generation to generation. It is a history of the Central Continent as a barren wasteland changed into its current state because the Tree of Life’s seed was planted in the middle of the Central Continent. However, this is the first time I’ve heard about it being sick or something like that."

I nod and say.

"Can you ask them the reason why the Tree of Life got sick? I know for sure that something like this will not get sick or die easily."

Ash looks at my shoulder, and I can see her nodding her head in understanding as if she is talking with someone. After a few seconds, she looked at me with a distressed expression.

"The Tree of Life gets poisoned by a group of people. The spirit also said this is why many monsters started appearing on the mainland of the Central Continent. Usually, monsters attack from the shore, but in recent years, Void Crack has started to appear around the Central Continent."

I nod and say.

"That is worrying. However, I cannot go to the Central Continent. Not at the moment. Can you ask them how long the Tree of Life can last?"

Ash nods and looks at my shoulder once again. She stays silent for a few seconds before saying.

"Tree of Life will last for ten years before the worst can happen."

"Ten years, huh..."

I think for a few seconds before releasing a sigh.

"I think I can visit that place after the winter. I will take a look at the tree when I am there."

Ash bows a little and says.

"Thank you, Grandmaster Gwyndolin."

"Please raise your head and call me Gwyn. I am not fixing the problem yet and only promising to visit the tree."

"And that is more than enough. The spirit around us is already celebrating after hearing your promise, Gwyn."

"Really?"

"Yes. They know that you are telling the truth and you will visit the tree. Not only that, they know that you can heal the tree, for you are the Guardian of Nature and Nature’s Beloved Son."

"You are praising me too much, Ash. I am nothing but a simple human who wants to enjoy life."

Weirdly, she smiles brightly at my answer and says.

"And that is why you are the perfect person to bear that title."

I can only sigh and rub my nose bridge at her answer. What with these weird girls? Can’t they stay normal? Oh well.

|Ashryn Erharice Ozawen – Princess of Ozawen Kingdom|

The journey is pleasant and something that I enjoy. Gwyn is a great person. I know that he will be a great person from all the praise the spirit gives him, but after talking to him for the past few days, I know he is someone I can call a good friend.

He is kind. When we stop in a village or a small town, he will get out and offer free healing to anyone who needs help. Even in the Central Continent, where magic spread far and wide, healing magic is still something that many magicians and priests guard with zealotry.

Anyone who wants to be healed must pay a lot of money to receive the service. If they see what Gwyn has done in the past few days, they will die instantly because their heart cannot take it.

Gwyn healed them with care and did not care for the money. He will accept the money if the others give him the money, but he will never force them to pay a certain amount. I even see someone pay Gwyn with three rabbits they hunt, and instead of being angry at the payment, Gwyn laughs and makes a feast using that rabbit and shares the food with others.

Now I understand the reason why each time we stop in a village, the villagers will greet Gwyn as if a Saint has come to visit their village. After witnessing him healing the people, I am unsure if that sentence is false.

He is strong. Every time monsters ambush us, Gwyn joins the fight, and I see him command nature as if it is his right hand. With each flick of his hand, giant trees appear on the ground and easily crush the monster.

When I activate my talent, I can see the spirit singing and dancing each time he commands nature. It is as if they are happy that Gwyn is commanding them. It is something that I never heard of. Even the spirit master in my kingdom needs to beg for the spirit to grant them power.

Spirits are creatures that do not want to obey an order. They are creatures of freedom and will not obey someone who orders them around. However, Gwyn does precisely that. There is no book explaining what I have seen with my eyes. It is something that even in the past was thought possible.

Even in the past, where spirits were more acceptable to Elves, Humans, Dwarves, and Beastkind would not accept an order they did not like. But when Gwyn does that? They will dance and sing to obey his orders.

It is a mystery that I want to uncover. I know it is not just because Nature and our God love him. I know there is something else that makes this happen.

Gwyn is polite but not overly polite. Even with my status as a princess, he sees me as who I am, not because of my status. He was polite but did not agree with everything I said. He will disagree with something that does not sit well with him and talk with me casually but politely.

He is not like the people from the Western Side of the Central Continent where people there like to talk bluntly to the point of impolite to us. I know it is their way of talking, but they are noble.

These past few days are the best days I have ever experienced in my life. Royal life is rather dull and something that I want to get away from every now and then. If all my vacations were like this, I wouldn’t mind taking them every now and then.

"We are here."

I snap from my thoughts when I hear Gwyn suddenly say something. I can see him looking out of the carriage, and I lean over to peek at what he sees. I widen my eyes when I see what is in front of me.

"Welcome to the Shadow Fall City, Ash. My hometown."

I can only nod my head because he cannot see what I am seeing. I can see a giant, almost transparent tree above the city, blessing the entire city and the surrounding area. It was a beautiful sight to behold.

When we entered its range, my guardian and I held back a moan from coming out of our mouths as the pleasant feeling of nature washed over us. It is like a warm embrace of a mother, but multiply it by ten. It is pleasant, and I want to keep feeling this.
