Chapter 222 Her Majesty's Last Gift
"Is the time of separation finally coming?" leaning against the wall outside the ceremony, Catherine's eyes were as soft as water. She watched Pannis walk calmly towards her, and sighed softly: "Although I have been mentally prepared for this, when this moment comes, I always feel full of unreality. Huh, I really hope this day will come later. How about it, Pannis, are you ready? Do you have anything to say to us?"
"Some things need to be reminded first." Panis stopped in front of the girls, took out a small cloth bag from his close-fitting pocket, and hesitated for a moment and handed it to Catherine's hand and said, "Take this in hand. If I can't come out alive, remember to hand this thing in Flar and tell her for me that you should not take it out casually in the future."
"If? It seems that you haven't made a decision yet." Catherine sighed, took the cloth bag and took it in her hand and said, "What is it here? It needs such a solemn explanation."
"It's not the reason you think, but there will always be casualties in the battle, and no one is exceptional, so you must prepare for the rest in advance." Panis pointed to the cloth bag in Catherine's hand and said, "There are a few seeds in it. You must keep them in close proximity. Never leave until it is handed back to Flar."
"So important?" Katherine resisted the urge to open the bag and look at it. "If it is such an important thing, wouldn't it be more appropriate to give it to Vivian and Freya? In case of a fight, I always have to stand in front of the team, and maybe the bag will be destroyed. After all, they are at the back of the team and are much safer."
"No, it must be placed on you until it is handed to Flar." Panis insisted: "It doesn't make sense to them."
"No sense?" Catherine hesitated and looked at the cloth bag in her hand again. Although it was obvious that the items inside could not be seen through the cloth bag, the girl still tossed the cloth bag in her hand for a while, and finally she could only ask Panis: "What is there? You would say it is meaningless. It must be something that will produce effects. What will be the effect?"
"Actually, you can just install it, there is no need to know what it is." Panis sighed and said, "But it doesn't matter to tell you, so as not to let other elves accidentally see it in the future. There are actually only four seeds in it, one of which is more special, well, very troublesome. This seed, the elves call it Tetra, and if it is translated into a common term...the seed of the original tree."
"Oh, the seeds of the original tree." The girls did not realize the meaning of the name for a moment, but a few seconds later, Lina's face suddenly changed, and she let out a low roar in her mouth, as if she had lost her mind. She stepped forward and grabbed Pannis' neckline, pulled his face in front of her, lowered her voice and roared with an almost crazy expression: "How could you have such a thing? Say, where did you steal it?"
"Well, so I don't want to say what this is." Panis smiled bitterly and scratched his head, and said helplessly: "Tifah, Tifa, Ms. Tifa, please calm down. Look, I know that you are also in Lina's body and you still say this name. No matter how you think about it, it's impossible for it to be stolen."
"Oh, god." It was not until then that the girls realized what this name, which was described as particularly troublesome by Panis, meant. It was the legendary half-body of the forest goddess Uktrashir, the seed of the first plant in the Yara world. In a sense, it could even be regarded as the offspring of Uktrashir. Before this, the girls had never even heard of the original tree, or the tree of the world, that there was a seed, which shows how much elves attached to tree species, so that even the news of their existence was blocked and not allowed to outsiders to know. Moreover, the importance can be seen from the expression of Tifa, who was originally an elf.
"Do you want to tell me that this was what you picked up on the road?" Tifa, who controlled Lina's body, did not believe Panis's words and growled: "The seed of the World Tree will only mature for thousands of years. So far, we only have five. Only the Goddess's generation in the mortal world are qualified to touch it. If it wasn't stolen... wait, the new queen, damn it, was she given to you? This bastard, I will accuse her of her crimes to Goddess."
"She is really attentive to you." Catherine sighed strangely, but immediately pulled the arm of the violent Tifa and said, "Ms. Tifa, don't you hurry first. Didn't His Majesty Flar even borrow the hunting arrows through the Presbyterian Church? This seed must have been lent to Panis by the Presbyterian Church, and it is not a crime."
"You don't understand what the seeds of the World Tree meant at all." Tifa finally calmed down a little, let go of Pannis' collar and shook Catherine's hand away, and said angrily: "The hunting arrow is just the creation of Lord Artemis, but the seeds of the World Tree are the continuation of Lord Uktrashire's body, which is a blasphemy to Lord Goddess. How can the two things be compared with each other?"
"Look, I'll say it's very troublesome." Panis spread his hands at Catherine and made a helpless expression. Seeing that Tifa was about to be violent again, he could only comfort him with a wry smile: "Ms. Tifa, have you forgotten one thing? Indeed, the tree species of the original tree was regarded as a continuation of the body of Lord Uktrashir. This is also clear to me. But if I remember correctly, if I want the tree species to take effect, the conditions are much more harsh than the hunting arrow."
"..." Lina, controlled by Tifa, suddenly lowered her head and was silent. Under the confusion of several girls around her, she suddenly looked up and looked at everyone in confusion and asked: "What's wrong, why did that guy Tifa suddenly stare at me like this? What did that guy Tifa do? She suddenly came out like crazy just now. I didn't even have time to tell you and let her come out. I must have done nothing good."
"This madman..." Panis gritted his teeth and pulled his wrinkled collar, and said angrily: "I found myself like an idiot, but I ran away without saying a word."
"Uh, Panis, explain it." Catherine rubbed her forehead with headache, feeling that the sadness that was about to parting just now could no longer be found. She could only ask while mourning the missing sadness of the mourner: "Why did she suddenly run away?"
