Chapter 685 The Sower
looked at the green tree spirit that flew closer.
Before Ronald could speak, Costat took the initiative to step forward, aimed at this guy and slapped him in the face.
"..."
At this moment, he faced the environment he was in.
This tree spirit's movements clearly meant to resist.
However, Costart's grasp of actions was extremely clever. While the tree spirit tried to dodge, her flexible palms quickly bypassed the obstacle and slapped the opponent on the head in the blink of an eye.
Snap——
"..."
With a light blow, the magic wave also disappeared in a flash.
Under the seemingly random movement of the maid, the dryad's body suddenly twitched, and its wooden trunk made an unpleasant creaking sound.
"Uh-ga-ah-"
"..."
A distorted and inhuman voice came from this guy.
It was clearly suffering unbearable pain.
Even just for a few seconds.
The originally emerald green body of the tree spirit began to show a trend of withering and yellowing, very similar to what the plant looked like before it declined.
"..."
But Costart didn't care at all about the dryad's violent reaction.
When the man was still lying on the ground struggling in pain, the maid turned around and bowed slightly to Ronald:
"Sir, this thing is pure plant life, and my spell cannot forcibly extract its memory. But there is one thing that can Confirm - the magic power on it definitely comes directly from the original scripture."
"Oh..."
Ronald raised his eyebrows.
Since the magic power comes directly from the original scripture, this thing must know something.
The problem now is to pry open the opponent's mouth across language and other barriers when Costart cannot extract the opponent's memory.
Think of this.
Ronald bent down, reached out and patted the struggling tree spirit on the face:
"Hey, can you talk?"
"..."
The tree spirit didn't answer, but briefly stopped struggling and began to look at him with dangerous eyes. Ronald.
Ronald's movements froze.
It can understand its own movements, and there is very obvious feedback...
So this tree spirit has wisdom and can understand the meaning of its own words?
Making such a conjecture in his mind, Ronald also realized this thing's attitude towards him - it
remained silent despite being tortured, and its refusal to cooperate was very obvious. This kind of 'human' mouth is very Difficult to pry open.
At this moment.
Ronald turned and looked behind him.
Facing the corpses on the ground near the nest, the little girl Hel was venting her anger on the corpses of these monsters, while Layton stood by and protected the little girl from accidents as much as possible.
I want to get news from the tree spirit.
I'm afraid these two can't provide much help.
"Sir, maybe we can extract the magic power from its body alone. Although the target traces may be misleading, as long as we act quickly enough, we can still find them one by one and finally obtain the location of the original book." In this case
.
Costat on the side gave Ronald timely advice.
It’s just that Ronald didn’t adopt it this time because he had a random and bold idea in his mind.
"..."
Ronald stared silently at the tree spirit in front of him
and thought for a few seconds. Then he immediately activated the power of [Arch Angel] to firmly control the tree spirit on the ground motionless. After completing this step, he took out the Veritaserum left by Heloise from the inner pocket of his clothes.
"As for plants..."
"It may not work very well, but please give it a try..."
With a sigh in his mouth, Ronald dripped this precious potion directly into the tree spirit without any hesitation. in the mouth.
——The potion is quickly absorbed and digested.
Probably because the dryad itself has a plant constitution.
After exposure to this Veritaserum effect potion, it appears to be unchanged to any degree.
It was just that Ronald noticed some details.
When the dryad absorbed this truth serum, the dangerous look in its eyes began to fade away, and its rational eyes became dull.
This is a perfect response.
That is the effect that Ronald has seen after humans use this magic potion.
So Ronald tried to ask:
"Tell me your identity?"
The tree spirit really spoke this time:
"I am the child of the Great Mother, an apostle, and the spreader of her seeds." "
... …”
This thing…is actually speaking human language!
If Hull, who finally became human in body, spoke human words, Ronald could understand it completely.
So at this moment, this tree spirit surprised Ronald.
Although the evolution speed of life can advance by leaps and bounds with the intervention of the original code, he does not believe that these newly emerged species will be able to establish civilization and have a mature language translation system in just a few months.
So it must be that these tree spirits came into contact with humans through some channel.
So when it asks questions, it will answer in human language.
A logical thought came to mind.
The spell caster in the Yuez Forest has most likely become the key to accelerating the changes of these creatures - the gift of civilization.
"..."
Ronald frowned as he realized this.
Beside him, the maid Kostat, who was willing to share the work with her master, also continued to ask:
"Where did you learn human language?"
The tree spirit continued to answer truthfully:
"The great mother gave us wisdom. "
..."
Another surprising answer.
Although in the previous question, it was already known that the tree spirits still have superior units.
But even wisdom is completely given by it...
What this answer means will only make Yoiz's situation more complicated.
"Who is your mother?"
"What is your purpose of spreading seeds?"
The questions came one after another.
The tree spirit continued to answer honestly under the control of the potion:
"Mother is the great master who gave birth to all our ethnic groups. The purpose of spreading seeds is to let her love come to every living being."
Ronald frowned and continued to ask. :
"Besides, is there any other purpose?"
"..."
This time the tree spirit was silent and did not give any response.
As one of those who walk around Joiz spreading seeds, it does not understand the 'Mother's full purpose.
On the other side, Ronald could confirm from his eyes that this guy was still under the influence of the potion - indicating that this tree spirit really knew nothing about other things.
So, Ronald and Costat looked at each other.
After a simple eye contact, the final question came out:
"Your mother, where is she now?"
The tree spirit answered honestly:
"Forest, North Central..."
Ronald breathed a sigh of relief.
After receiving such an answer, this operation can be said to be smooth sailing.
But just when he and Costat stood up, ready to completely deal with this worthless tree spirit.
behind them.
The cry belonging to the little girl Hel came to her ears:
"Layton! What's wrong with you? Thunder Shield!"
"Get up!"
