The crow on the shoulder cried out at the right time, and a line of prompts appeared on the game panel:

Item: Blessing of the Holy Tree

Grade: B-grade

The protection of the holy tree: the holy tree will properly protect the player, the probability of the player encountering danger is reduced to 0.1%, and it will take effect within the jurisdiction of the holy tree

Gift of the Holy Tree: Players have a 50% chance of receiving the gift of the Holy Tree, which takes effect within the jurisdiction of the Holy Tree

Lucky bonus: Adds a 15% luck bonus to the player, effective within the jurisdiction of the holy tree

In fact, just looking at the function of the item, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an A-level item, but it is probably because of the location restriction that it was downgraded to a B-level item.

Kui Ke came over, with a smile on his face: “Congratulations, I didn’t expect Chang An to be so lucky.”

Sometimes luck is also a part of strength. He also once met a European emperor (T/N: a person with excellent luck), and with that luck, people can’t help but admire it.

But he didn’t know that the young man in front of him was a fake European emperor and a real non-chieftain. It was the first time he was favoured by the goddess of luck at such a young age. Xia Nuo was pleasantly surprised but couldn’t believe it.

Am I using up all my luck for the next year?

He even felt a little panicked.

Shi Xue Li also said “Congratulations” to him, but Ka’er’s expression was not so good, but he quickly adjusted, but he didn’t congratulate Xia Nuo.

Kui Ke told him quietly: “Probably because Ka’er just said that he has always had good luck, and it turned out…”

In the end, the one who actually got the item was Xia Nuo.

Kui Ke didn’t show anything on the surface, but he secretly classified Ka’er as a type of person “not to be friends with”.

From the beginning when he intentionally kept him away from Shi Xue Li, to his narrow-mindedness now, Kui Ke felt more and more that this person was inconsistent with his appearance.

Xia Nuo was far away from them just now and didn’t hear this sentence. Kui Ke felt that he had to remind the boy.

“……” Xia Nuo didn’t know what to say.

Before, he had also faintly felt that Karl was not as bright and cheerful as he showed, but at that time Karl still hid it very well, unlike now, where he would express his emotions straightforwardly.

“……Thank you, I understand.” Xia Nuo said finally, hugging the flowers in his arms tightly.

When Kan Lan’er came over, he saw the complex expression on the boy’s face.

“What’s wrong? Why are you unhappy?”

“It’s nothing.” Xia Nuo shook his head, he looked at the flowers in his arms, showing a worried expression, “These are the blessings of the holy tree? Do I take them all? “

Although these flowers are light and ethereal but with full arms, the quantity is considerable, and it is not so convenient to carry.

Is it because of this?

The man raised his eyebrows. He also saw the scene just now and thought that the boy felt sad because he found out that his teammates were contradictory.

What else could it be?

Xia Nuo also looked over suspiciously, maybe he felt that he was sad because of Ka’er’s performance, but he was not that fragile.

His friendship with Ka’er is only superficial. What does Ka’er’s character have to do with him?

Xia Nuo knew at a young age that the world was never black and white, and not everyone likes him, so why should he care so much about other people’s attitudes?

“……”

The man shook his head and smiled.

The boy’s thoughts are always beyond his expectations.

He raised his hand, and under the gaze of the young man’s round eyes, he took off the flowers that fell on top of his head.

“Just take one flower.” He held the flower in front of Xia Nuo.

The shape of the only selected flower is not much different from other flowers, but it is a circle larger than theirs, the colour is more gorgeous, and the petals are faintly shining with a golden streamer.

“How about wearing it on your head?” he said jokingly.

“???”

Xia Nuo looked at him in surprise, saw the corners of his lips curled up, and realized that it was a joke.

“I don’t think so.” The way he shook his head seriously was cute as hell.

The man’s Adam’s apple moved, and he resisted the urge to kiss the boy at that moment.

“What about the remaining flowers?” Xia Nuo looked at the flowers in his arms and asked hesitantly.

If you take only one flower, what will you do with the rest?

“Just throw it away.” The man said nonchalantly.

If the boy likes flowers, he can give them to him anytime and anywhere.

“……” Xia Nuo looked at him strangely.

Why does he always feel that man is not as respectful to the sacred tree as the villagers?

“Isn’t that good?”

Xia Nuo still remembers the joy of these flowers falling into his arms, and flowers have different meanings to plants. The fact that the sacred tree could bloom so many flowers one night (T/N: a short period of time; not necessarily an actual one night’s time) also represented its love and kindness, and he was reluctant to throw them away like this.

The man looked at the young man’s pensive expression with interest, and asked, “Then how do you deal with them?”

“Hmm…” The boy made a vague nasal sound, “I can take them back…”

In fact, he could put them in his game package at the beginning, but the package can only be used to store clues and special items. Before the man picks out the flower that represents the item, these flowers can be called “blessings of the holy tree” and can also be contained in the game package.

But he didn’t think of it at the time, and it’s too late to think about it now.

But now that he had thought of a solution, he ran to find Zhou’er.

Zhou’er didn’t follow them into the forest, he just came to see them off at the man’s order, and when he returned, he sent them back.

Seeing Xia Nuo approaching, he was a little surprised, and at the same time took a step back calmly, keeping the distance from the boy.

Xia Nuo didn’t notice his secret movements, he asked, “Zhou’er, can you keep them for me?”

“Them?” Zhuo’er was taken aback for a moment and then realised that the young man was referring to the flowers in his arms, and his eyes widened involuntarily.

The way he looked at them seemed like some kind of scourge, Xia Nuo was also stunned.

Zhou’er quickly realised what was wrong, and explained: “This is a gift from the sacred tree, and I dare not touch it casually.”

“Then…” Xia Nuo didn’t want to embarrass him, and quickly came up with a compromise, “If I put them under the tree, can you take care of them for me?”

Zhuoer breathed a sigh of relief, this time he readily agreed, which was also due to the man’s signal: “Yes.”

Xia Nuo finally settled his mind, and he ran back with a jumpy face.

“Solved?” The man asked knowingly.

“Yeah!” Xia Nuo nodded vigorously.

He took the flower that the man had been holding in his hand and pinned it on his robe. The bright red flower complemented the snow-white robe, and the red lips and white teeth of the young man further complemented each other, and a sense of restrained beauty emerged spontaneously.

“Kan Lan’er?” Xia Nuo swallowed subconsciously and tentatively called out.

Why did the way the man looked at him just now make him feel very dangerous?

The instincts of a small animal were warning him, and Xia Nuo actually had the urge to hide himself.

“What’s wrong?”

But at first glance, the smile on the man’s face was the same as usual, as if the danger just now was just his illusion.

“…It’s nothing.” Xia Nuo shook his head, “We should go.”

He saw Shi Xue Li waving at him.

Shi Xue Li repeated what they had just discussed with Xia Nuo: “Na Duo Sha is a person who is difficult to distinguish from the enemy, we must prepare in advance. When entering the forest, Ka’er and I will walk in front, you and Kan Lan’er will walk in the middle, and Kui Ke will be in the rear. “

“If we have a conflict with Naduosha, you don’t need to participate in the battle, protect yourself, and it is enough to treat us in time, remember?”

“Okay, I remember.”

Xia Nuo used to play games too. Although the technology is not very good, the basic character setting is still understood.

A delicate and frail priest like him is not suitable for melee combat at all. The best arrangement is to be a support, heal teammates, and apply various buffs.

So Shi Xue Li’s arrangement is no problem for him.

“Kan Lan’er, you have to keep up with Chang An, you know we won’t be able to spare your hands to protect you during the battle.” Shi Xue Li turned her head and told the man.

The man smiled without comment, but when Xia Nuo looked over, he said, “Chang An, you have to protect me well.”

Xia Nuo took it seriously, he stared at the man in front of him seriously with his round eyes, patted his thin chest, and was extremely excited because he was entrusted with his safety: “Leave it to me, I will definitely not let you get hurt.”

“…” The man laughed dumbly, “Then how can I thank you?”

——Why don’t you make a promise with your body?

This sentence circled around on the tip of his tongue but was swallowed back.

Not yet, he told himself.

He looked at the boy with a lovely smile and said “There is no need to be so polite between us”, and sighed silently.

—— Be patient, he said to himself.

A group of people walked towards the place Na Duo Sha said.

The forest in the afternoon is a bit dark, the overlapping tree crowns block the sunlight, and there is a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground, which is so soft that it almost sinks people in if you step on it.

While walking, Xia Nuo suddenly stopped in his tracks, with a bit of panic in his tone: “Has Kui Ke disappeared?”
