Joshua's hand was still held by Ciri, and Ciri was wiping the wound on Joshua's hand with a handkerchief, but the young lady caster's movements were a little rude, which could not be described as considerate.
On the other hand, looking at the three high elf elders, Qiao Xiu's act of beating up one of them just now can be said to have directly filled his hatred.
But Joshua was not in the mood to talk to them about his purpose. After Ciri healed the wound on Joshua's hand, he looked at Al on the side.
"I need to be baptized by your holy tree, can you take me to its body?"
This sentence of Joshua was equivalent to completely touching the most sensitive nerves of all the high elves present.
The place where the body of the holy tree is located is the most sacred place for their family, and as expected, someone soon stood up to stop Qiao Xiu.
"Get out!"
Stern shouts stopped the high elves, including the two high elves elders.
The owner of the voice was not Elder Quitoan, nor Elder Sindonar, but a high elf who stood on the opposite side of Joshua.
If Joshua remembered correctly, her name was Enya.
"The Holy Tree has allowed him to enter the Holy Land."
Elder Enya's voice seemed to be suppressing something, but after looking at the white bird standing on Qiao Xiu's head, she had to choose to make way.
The other two elders wanted to say something, but in the end they could only stare at Joshua as he walked down the steps and walked towards the depths of Arthur Crowe under the leadership of Al.
A large number of high elves gathered outside the hall, and their eyes were fixed on Joshua.
At this moment, Ciri clenched her staff tightly and was vigilant about the surroundings. If an arrow flew from there, Ciri could react immediately.
But no...
The high elves surrounding the hall had tensed expressions on their faces, but when Qiao Xiu walked in front of them, they silently gave way.
This pilgrimage route, which was annotated by everyone, lasted for more than ten minutes.
"Don't you even forget the way home?" Joshua couldn't help asking about the high elf after following Al around.
"No! Um... that's right! It's here!"
Al pointed to a huge stone gate in front of him. The surface of the gate was covered with a large number of vines, revealing an aura of life.
"The road to the Holy Land, Al, has not been done a few times."
Branches and leaves, who came with Al, apologized to Joshua in a low voice.
"Anyway, just find it, do you want to come over together?" Qiao Xiu asked.
"certainly… "
Just before Al raised his hand and shouted excitedly, Zhiye forcibly held her raised hand. She tried to press Al's hand down, but unfortunately failed.
"We were not invited by the holy tree, so we have no right to enter it." Zhiye shook his head and said.
The stone gate has been slowly opened, and the enchantment composed of magic power has also appeared in front of Qiao Xiu. The surface of the enchantment is like a translucent mirror.
"I should be fine..."
At this time, Ciri suddenly took a step forward, and then jumped into the area covered by the barrier of the sacred tree.
Lake-like ripples appeared on the surface of the barrier, and Ciri successfully passed through it, which meant that the holy tree might have allowed her to enter.
The next second, Ciri turned around and passed through the barrier of the barrier with both hands, grabbing Joshua's hands and pulling Joshua inside.
"Have we successfully cleared the level?" Ciri let go of Joshua's hand and looked back at the things after the barrier.
Here is a courtyard, white light shrouded the entire sky, the surrounding walls are covered with complex magic inscriptions, and a tree with silver-white branches stands quietly in the center of the courtyard.
"Why is it a little regretful to hear your tone?"
Joshua reached out and held a silver-white leaf that fell from the sky, confirming that the tree in front of him was the tree of the world.
"The process I thought at first was to tame all those high elves."
"How many times did you have exchanges of force with them during this period?"
Qiao Xiu has already guessed what the script of Ciri's brain supplement is. In fact, Qiao Xiu also has the illusion that he has not killed the enemy, and suddenly got the final reward.
"It takes time for the high elves to correct, just like how humans view demons, but this does not prevent me from communicating with the World Tree."
Joshua walked slowly to the front of the world tree, and observed the world tree of the high elves up close, Joshua had a feeling of being deceived.
The white bird seemed to realize Joshua's disappointment, and pecked Joshua's head with his beak.
"Okay, okay, I know you spent a lot of energy to save Arthur Crowe." Joshua reached out and touched the branches of the World Tree. The height of this World Tree is that of Tailin's family. about twice as much.
The life energy contained in it is very terrifying.
"I will continue to open the Hearthstone Tavern in Arthur Crowe. After all, I expect you to continue to grow, so I have enough time to change the prejudice of those high elves against foreigners."
Joshua slowly closed his eyes the moment he touched the tree trunk.
"It may take days for Ciri to build a new server."
"It's okay, I can wait," Ciri said.
"Uh... I mean please help me get three meals these days, just like at Hearthstone Tavern."
"You're going to turn on that... what kind of immortal cultivation mode?"
Ciri immediately remembered when Joshua used to program, sitting in a chair all day long without even eating a bite.
"It can also be said to be an energy saving mode."
"Leave it to me!" Ciri patted her chest confidently.
When Qiao Xiu was about to start establishing a connection with the sacred tree with peace of mind, Ciri's next sentence woke him up.
"But there doesn't seem to be any animal habitat around here. No, there are birds... Do you like eating bird meat, Joshua?"
"Go straight outside to get the Hearthstone Tavern food!"
After Qiao Xiu repeatedly instructed several things to pay attention to, he took a deep breath and immersed his consciousness in the sacred tree.
When Joshua opened his eyes again, the surrounding turned into a pale white space, and a white giant bird faced Joshua in the interior of the space.
"It's the first time we've met in this way." The white bird suddenly spoke, it wasn't talking to Qiao Xiu, but a white cat and a black cat beside Qiao Xiu.
"You guys chat first, I'll find a way to import the data."
It's not the first time Joshua has built a server, but it's still a complicated job, and just as Joshua started to build the terminal... Cracks suddenly appeared in the pale white space.
"What happened?"
Joshua wanted to find the white bird to ask about the situation, but the consciousness of the three World Trees suddenly disappeared.
The next second Qiao Xiu felt gravity, and everything came so suddenly that Qiao Xiu couldn't react at all, and the next second Qiao Xiu fell to the ground.
ceramic tile
Joshua stretched out his fingers and touched the ground. The ground was paved with delicate tiles, and the cold and hard touch was very real.
The consciousness of the white cat and the black cat are empty places, but the consciousness of this bird is a luxurious castle
wrong!
Qiao Xiu slowly climbed up from the ground, and everything around Qiao Xiu was very familiar.
This is... Bone Lord's castle
Qiao Xiu covered his forehead, and in the next second, everything around him was far away from Qiao Xiu, and then Qiao Xiu opened his eyes.
When Joshua opened his eyes again, Ciri's pale gray eyes were in front of him, and her crystal lips were terrifyingly close.
"How... how suddenly." Ciri was frightened at this moment, she immediately took a step back and looked at Joshua in a daze.
"Ciri... is it back to reality?"
Qiao Xiu glanced around, and for a moment, the thought of "come back" appeared in Qiao Xiu's mind, and he exited that weird space.
At this time, the white bird suddenly jumped onto Joshua's arm, and it tilted its head and stared at Joshua.
"You just touched the heart of this world."
"The heart of the world? Wait, don't lie to me! The scene I just saw is my friend's castle!"
"Try again and you'll know."
Shiratori left this sentence and disappeared in front of Qiao Xiu.
"Did you fall into illusion?"
Seeing Joshua's hesitant expression, Ciri came to Joshua again and asked.
"That doesn't look like an illusion." Joshua thought for a while and touched the trunk of the World Tree again. "Although I don't quite understand what it is, programming has to continue."
