Reborn as a Mad Dog from a Noble Family

Chapter 294: Rest is over, the ancient tree hums

What Torek tells is like a folk story, with some parts based on reality and some parts that are imaginative, magical and absurd.

"I heard the voice of the World Tree. It was low, deep, and a little damp."

"It says that I have a good physique and can come in handy at a critical moment."

"Ah, of course, that's not its original language. Its original language is very short and the sentences are very strange, like a combination of Lolpe and Universal Language."

"I've never seen magic like that, it resonated with my soul and made me surrender to it from the bottom of my heart."

"And so, I became its servant. I couldn't leave Mouk, and watched my family and friends weaken. But my body not only did not become abnormal, but became even healthier."

The aura around Leopold gradually dissipated, and he bowed his head and said, "Please forgive my rudeness, Lord Torek."

His expression and movements were controlled freely. Not long ago, he looked like the chief judge of the court, serious and indifferent, with a strong sense of oppression and an aura that could not be ignored.

What now?

Oh, he is simply the representative of the upper class aristocracy of Renekton, the epitome of elegance.

Torek smiled indifferently, "It doesn't matter, I'm just too suspicious."

"So, the purpose of the World Tree is--" Leopold waited for his answer.

"Moving." Under the suspicious gazes of the priests, Torek repeated seriously, "The World Tree seems to be preparing for moving."

Although the roots of the World Tree cover the entire world, its size is so huge that it cannot be moved without some special means.

"Special means... do you mean turning the entire Mauke Chiefdom into a breeding farm?" Sophia said after carefully choosing her words. "The concentration of magic power in Mauke is far beyond the normal value, and the citizens I saw along the way all showed symptoms of losing control of magic power to some extent. I suspect that the World Tree wants to draw strength from the citizens."

"Reasonable suspicion." Torek nodded, and then changed the subject, "But after being a servant of the World Tree for more than a year, I feel that it is not absorbing power, but releasing power."

He lowered his eyes and stared at his palm, "It released a large amount of magic power, and then took something from us."

"It seems that further investigation is needed." Sophia said seriously.

Idne sighed, "Alas... things are getting complicated."

Suddenly, Leopold looked towards the door and raised the corner of his mouth unconsciously, "Mo Xie is here."

"He was alone. How did he find this place?" Feeling the gazes of several priests, Torrek paused and said, "I mean... the young envoy is neither a knight nor a magician. He should not be able to find the protected room."

Compared to other places, the concentration of magic power in Prince Lessing's room is much lower.

Out-of-control magic will not completely reduce the intelligence of a normal human being. As the leader of the Mauks, how could the old chief not notice the abnormality?

However, he is now powerless. All he can do is to protect the unconscious descendants, find out the truth as soon as possible, and restore Mao Ke to his original peace.

"I think this is probably because of mental power." A trace of envy flashed in Idene's eyes. "Master Moshe demonstrated a skill in the academy's lecture. Even when his senses were restricted by the restraining magic tools, he was able to use mental power to determine the location and properties of magic. It's amazing!"

Torek's eyes widened slightly. "Oh! Can human power reach that level? It's really amazing!"

After saying that, he walked to the door, and when the white hand was about to knock on the door, he took the first step to greet it.

"Good evening, Lord Moshe. How did you rest? I am really sorry if the furnishings in the room make you feel uncomfortable."

Mo Xie put his hand down and smiled, "I'm well rested. What should we do next?"

"Have dinner first, then I'll take you to that place." Torek closed his left eye, put his index finger on his lips, and said mysteriously, "Do it quietly, so that no one else can see you."

"it is good."

On the way to the restaurant, Torek once again showed great interest in the Eye of Insight.

"Have you put away the Eye of Insight?" He rubbed his fingers as if he missed the touch of the Eye of Insight's tentacles.

"Yes." Moshe turned his head slightly and met Leopold's eyes. "It will take some time before you can use it."

"Oh... here we are."

Torek pushed open the thin wooden door, invited them to the table, placed napkins on them one by one, pulled out chairs, and provided very good service.

The meals that Mouk served to his guests were not as exquisite as those prepared by Renekton. Each person was provided with three plates and a bowl, with a combination of meat and vegetables, and that was all.

Their local specialty is called "Kudada", which is made of bread, vegetables, meat and spicy soup.

The round-mouthed, flat bowl is filled with dark brown soup, with chopped chili peppers and spice leaves floating on the surface to enhance the flavor.

There wasn’t much soup, so the main dishes didn’t float up. The soft bread soaked up the soup and was pressed firmly to the bottom of the bowl by the thick and firm meat patty.

The crisp, refreshing vegetables layered on top of the patty offset the heaviness of the spices and sauce.

The bread slices on top are sprinkled with sesame seeds, which are warmed by the soup. They are fragrant and crispy, not greasy and not dry to the point of falling apart. Dip some of the soup before eating, the spicy taste stimulates the tongue, and the saliva is secreted crazily. The slight pain and sourness are intertwined in the mouth, making people unable to resist continuing to taste it.

Among the four priests, only Idene could not eat spicy food. He stiffened his tongue and took small sips of cold air. Despite this, he still ate, looking like he was in pain and pleasure.

[Oh……]

A cool breeze blew in from outside.

"I told the chef to make it non-spicy, but he seemed to have misunderstood what I meant. I was thinking..." Torek stopped talking suddenly.

[How dare you, the lackey of the Creator God, appear before me again.]

“Can you hear it?” Torek said with a complicated expression, “The World Tree is speaking with its deep, dark voice.”

"Perhaps only creatures that have a connection with the World Tree can hear its voice." Leopold picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth elegantly. "It has been paying attention to us, the outsiders."

Torek nodded, his eyes gleaming with relief, "Right."

"Let's go to that place." Leopold stood up, his priest uniform was spotless, his expression was calm and serious.

Mo Xie said nothing and followed them silently.

[Ah...it hurts.]

Another gust of wind blew, and the window slammed shut.

In fact, Moshe also heard the voice of the World Tree, but what he heard was different from what Torek heard.

[I want to live.]

A deep, hoarse voice echoed in my ears.

[Want to leave.]

There is a hint of sincerity.

[I want to erase His existence...]

A golden light flashed in Mo Xie's eyes, and his spirit fetus was beating vigorously, as if to become his confidence.

Do you think so too?

Great.
