Chapter 65:
The wooden room was neat, and a refreshing fragrance filled the air.
It could be said that the structure was not a building made of wood, but rather that the wood itself became the building.
“... That sorceress woman from earlier. Who is she, really?”
Sentinel Urcil, who had guided the group to the room, asked Lisriel.
Lisriel responded with an awkward expression.
“I don’t really know her either. She was an acquaintance of Philip Oswald, my friend, so I couldn’t just ask about her.”
Sentinel Urcil didn’t seem to think she was lying, but there was an uncomfortable atmosphere. Lisriel let out a small sigh. It seemed that her favorable impression might have slightly diminished after this incident.
“Is there any problem?”
Castler Morrela, who had been observing the situation, asked. Urcil shook her head.
“No, it’s nothing. It’s just that grandma seemed a bit... uncomfortable. I never thought she would have any connection with a living human mage.”
Amidst the uncomfortable atmosphere, Janice and Lua were busy gauging the adults’ reactions.
However, Philip soon returned with Privia and the elder back to the group.
“Urcil, I told you to treat the guests with utmost care. Why are you still making the guests uncomfortable here?”
Seeing that the group was not resting properly, the elder scolded Urcil urgently. She seemed extremely afraid that Privia’s mood might have worsened.
Since the guardian dragon Alves was currently in a state of slumber, there was no one else who could restrain Privia.
“... I’m sorry.”
“I will take care of the guests, so you guide these two near the World Tree. They want to meet the divine being residing there.”
Urcil was taken aback by the Elder Elf’s words.
“Yes? Humans in that place?”
The Elder Elf touched her forehead as if feeling dizzy and waved her hand impatiently.
“Don’t be stubborn, and move quickly.”
However, the Elder Elf’s cared for her granddaughter Urcil. She summoned the wind spirit and conveyed some advice to Urcil.
‘Be especially cautious around that mage, as she is a dragon. Don’t defy her intentions. Fortunately, she doesn’t seem too intimidating, so she won’t harm you. If you act rigidly and frustrate her with rules or something...’
Finally, Urcil’s questions were all answered.
‘... A dragon?’
She lightly shivered and turned her trembling gaze towards Privia.
“What are you looking at? Guide us already.”
When Privia grumbled, Urcil was surprised and shook her head rapidly like a wet cat.
“Oh, no. I’ll guide you right away.”
She, too, froze like a new recruit.
“What’s going on?”
Lisriel smirked. The elves seemed more polite and disciplined, but she couldn’t have imagined a dragon among the group she had traveled with so far.
“Should we take Lua too?”
Philip suggested to Privia.
“Take the child? Is there a special reason?”
‘I want to give her some experience points.’
About to respond, Philip hesitated and whispered in Privia’s ear.
“I want to give her as much experience as possible.”
“Well, do as you please.”
“Did you hear that, Lua? Come here.”
Philip could only smirk at the Wolf’s aggressive stance.
“... Mountains, forests, and fields. Why is a divine being responsible for protecting them acting like this here?”
Privia looked a bit surprised and glanced at Philip.
“Kid, are you also sensing it? What’s growing here?”
Philip nodded.
“Of course. Can’t you see it? The golden fruit hanging at the end of that branch. It’s obvious even without looking. You want to monopolize it, don’t you? It’s the ‘Golden Apple.'”
The fruits of the World Tree contained a mysterious power. They could heal people, remove toxins, and contain a considerable amount of mana themselves. If a skilled practitioner learned the proper techniques, they could increase their aura through the World Tree’s fruits.
But the knowledge of something special among those fruits was only known to a select few scholars.
The so-called ‘Golden Apple.’
The fruit with an enticing aroma that even with just a single bite, it could grant immortality.
Philip was already aware of the existence of that fruit. It had been an extremely rare item even in the original game.
‘Eating that would gradually reconstruct the body.’
An item with a total of four uses, it significantly accelerates the growth of the chosen students, and the likelihood of awakening special abilities also increases noticeably.
“Me, Lua, Tania, and... Janice. Feeding it to Janice should do it.”
Powerful and exceptional items were abundant in this world, but items that directly aided growth were rare. Moreover, since the ‘Golden Apple’ was a fruit that the World Tree chose to bear at will, it was uncertain when it would appear again.
‘That’s mine.’
He had no intention of leaving such a precious item for even a divine being. He approached the Wolf even closer.
“Don’t come any closer. I warn you.”
“What will you do if I get closer? Will you attack me and become a corpse?”
“Do you think killing a pathetic creature like you will turn me into a corpse? Even if I were to devour an entire village, that wouldn’t happen.”
Privia, who had been listening to their conversation, spoke up.
“Foolish and inadequate. A being who has lived for over a thousand years has become blind with desire and can’t even read causality properly. Do you think something will change just because a divine being like you eats it?”
With a disdainful expression, she opened her mouth and uttered a dragon’s words.
[Fool. Withdraw immediately.]
Then, Philip touched his forehead with a severe headache.
The language of dragons was highly concise and abstract. It wasn’t phonetic or symbolic writing, more resembling a complex code.
It was beyond human intelligence to interpret and even attempting to understand it required a level of mental power beyond human capability.
‘But why can I hear this?’
However, Philip could hear the dragon’s words. He didn’t know how or why, but that fact was enough to astonish Privia.
[Did you hear the dragon’s words?]
“Ah... yes. I heard it. So please stop. My head feels like it’s splitting.”
Soon, blood trickled down from Philip’s nose. It felt as if someone was directly manipulating his brain. Surprised, Privia fell silent.
“A dragon? A dragon? Would even a dragon, born as a complete being, desire this fruit?”
Privia’s direct intervention seemed to have little effect.
“... Looks like I wasn’t wrong.”
The Wolf’s expression filled with joy as it leaped high towards the golden fruit. It seemed poised to devour it in one bite.
Seeing this, Philip shouted in shock.
“No!”
