Looking forward to another world.

Chapter 1096 A Very Important Name

The Tree People are a very special race.

What's so special about it?

First of all, they do not need to reproduce like humans, but like plants in nature, they reproduce asexually through branching, sowing, etc. However, reproduction has certain requirements for the environment, so although the population is not small, it cannot increase like humans. After reaching a certain number, the population of the tree people will stop growing, so that their racial power will never develop.

Secondly, the Tree People have existed for a very long time. It is said that they may even be one of the oldest life races in the entire source. Other ancient life races have basically become extinct in modern times, but the Tree People have survived to this day because of their reproduction method and their own living conditions. Even after they were once extinct, new Tree People life can be born naturally from nature, which makes many races envy them.

Then, the life force of the Tree People is generally not weak, at least much stronger than ordinary humans, because they do not need to practice, they only need to survive to continuously grow their strength. The longer they live, the stronger they are. Therefore, some ancient life forms among the Tree People that have survived for hundreds or thousands of years are comparable to or even surpass saints in strength, which is very terrifying. In addition, they are immortal species and basically will not die of old age. This is another point that makes people envy them.

However, the overall strength of the Tree People is not even among the top five in the entire source, and it is even unknown whether they can be ranked among the top ten.

why?

Quite simply, their weaknesses are too obvious.

The Tree People generally have two weaknesses that cannot be ignored.

1. The longer they survive, the larger they become, making it difficult for those saints and those beyond the saint level who have extraordinary powers to even move, let alone fight flexibly.

Second: Their resistance to fire attacks is extremely low. Even the ancient tree people of the saint level will suffer serious injuries when attacked by magicians of the crystal level (Lv.7) and amber level (Lv.8) using transformation fire element magic.

This results in the fact that although the Tree People are generally strong, as long as they have targeted methods, it is not a problem for them to defeat the opponent of a higher level.

In addition, the abyss, as the biggest enemy of the source, is a plane of fire, and the abyss magic fire is one of the most terrifying fire-attributed forces in the world. When facing the abyss, the tree people are more vulnerable than anything else. Therefore, the presence of the tree people in the source is not low, but they are not taken seriously, and their status is neither high nor low, which is quite embarrassing.

However, even among such a tribe of tree people, there are also things that are worthy of respect from all the people in Quanyuanquan.

That is, they are able to artificially cultivate or grow plants that have extraordinary properties.

Some of these plants can produce valuable fruits, some are themselves extremely expensive magical materials, and it is said that there are even extraordinary plants that can produce fruits that increase a person's lifespan, so they are popular among all sources.

The most famous extraordinary plant among the tree people is an ancient tree that is said to have been cultivated for tens of thousands of years, called the Tree of Life.

The Tree of Life has three major characteristics.

1: It can produce a fruit called the fruit of wisdom. Eating it can increase the wisdom of the source life, allowing life with low intelligence to have a high level of intellect.

2: The branches of the Tree of Life are one of the highest-grade materials used to make magic wands and staffs. For example, the scepter used by Naisha before had branches of the Tree of Life added inside as the core.

3: The Tree of Life itself has intelligence similar to that of monsters. It can be used to fight against enemies by being driven by the Tree People. Its power is also amazing and much stronger than ordinary beings beyond the saint level.

In view of this, the Tree of Life is regarded as the sacred tree of the Tree People and the treasure of the Tree People.

Sembia is also one of the extraordinary plants cultivated by the tree people.

Its history can be traced back to the time when the Tree People were just born in the Fountainhead. However, due to the extreme difficulty in cultivating and keeping them alive, and the cost being frighteningly high, even among the Tree People there are not many Sambia trees. Even if one searches the entire Fountainhead, the number of Sambia trees would probably not exceed five fingers.

Belluddy had traveled through the territory of the Tree People and had the good fortune to see a Sambia tree once.

Of course, at the beginning, Belluddy did not recognize that the dead tree in front of her was the Sambia tree.

She noticed it initially simply because she thought it was odd.

In this black land, life cannot reproduce at all. The invaders from the abyss have destroyed everything on this land. Not to mention a tree, even a dead leaf cannot be found on this land.

But the tree in front of me, although it has withered, is still standing.

Feeling strange, Belluddy began to observe the dead tree carefully.

"So, you discovered that it was actually a Sambia tree, and there might be a space inside it that no one knew about?"

Liger said this to Belluddy beside him.

"Yes." Beiludi nodded and said, "Because the space inside it has extraordinary characteristics, the Sambia tree is most suitable for storing treasures."

"The Tree People set up important places such as the tribe's library and treasure house inside the Sembia Tree."

"At the same time, the Sambia tree is also a plant life with extremely strong vitality. If it fails to be cultivated, it will be fine. But if it is cultivated successfully, even if it is completely destroyed, it will leave seeds in the original place."

"This seed is actually the continuation of the life of the Sambia tree. As long as we cultivate it again and open the alien space inside it, the things in the alien space will still be intact."

This is why the Sembia tree is the best place to store treasure.

With this property, anyone would want to place a valuable treasure in a Sambia tree.

As long as there is no way to open the Sambia Tree's alternate dimension, it will be useless even if the Sambia Tree is destroyed.

"It seems that the library of the Great Saint Palace must be in this Sembia tree."

Mello held the sword he found in the back hall and spoke with some joy.

"But how do we open the alien space inside the Sambia tree?"

Naisha also held the magic wand that Mello found for her and asked this question with a frown.

"This one……"

Beiludi immediately showed an embarrassed expression, and after hesitating for a moment, she spoke like this.

"My friend from the Tree People tribe told me that the Sembia tree will react to the language of the Tree People tribe. As long as a specific spell is recited in the language of the Tree People tribe, the different space inside the Sembia tree will be opened."

"But what is this particular spell…?"

Of course, the other party would never tell Beiludi about this kind of thing.

After all, the strange space inside the Sambia tree is used to store treasures. This is how the Tree People use the Sambia tree. Whether the other party knows the spell to open it is another matter, let alone telling outsiders what the spell is.

Rather, it is an extremely rare thing that the other party can tell Belluddy how to open the Sambia Tree.

This was probably due to Belluddy's extraordinary friendliness. If it were someone else, the Treemen would never even talk about such a thing.

"The language of the Tree People?" Li Ge turned his head, looked at the girls, and asked, "Who among you knows the language of the Tree People?"

Originally, Lige thought that among the girls present, only Beiludi might understand some of the language of the tree people.

After all, this Saint Lady travels frequently, so it is normal for her to know some languages of other ethnic groups.

Who would have thought that his tentative questions would be met with affirmative answers.

"I have learned the language of the Tree People."

"I also know a lot about the language of the Tree People."

Melo and Naisha both answered without hesitation.

"You all understand?"

Lige was surprised.

This is how the girls explained it.

"Members of the royal family of the Kaledohat Empire basically learn the languages of other races from a young age, especially the languages of the races with the highest strength or influence in the Fountainhead. We are all required to be proficient in using them." Mello said as if it was a matter of course, "Although the status of the Tree People in the Fountainhead is a bit delicate, they are also a race with considerable influence. So I could already speak the language of the Tree People when I was 10 years old."

"I'm almost there too." Nayesha echoed Melo's words, saying, "When I became a saint and was confirmed to take over the position of the next Pope, someone from the Vatican came to teach me how to learn the languages of other tribes, and the language of the Tree People was one of them."

The two men have noble identities and extremely high status, and often need to represent a force in contact with people of other races.

In order to demonstrate their status and identity, people like Melo and Nayesha are naturally not allowed to become "illiterate".

This is what is called aristocratic accomplishment.

"Not to mention us, even Jelina and Silune can speak the languages of many races." Mello also told Lige about this, saying, "And Princess Lilithia and Prince Pasippus, don't look at them like that, they also learned the languages of many major races since they were young."

"In this regard, I may not be as good as Her Royal Highness the Princess and His Holiness the Pope." Beiludi said a little embarrassedly: "I learned some foreign languages by myself because of the need for traveling. Although I can speak some of the language of the Tree People, I am definitely not proficient. Compared with Her Royal Highness the Princess and His Holiness the Pope who have been taught since childhood, I can't compare at all."

Hearing this, Lige couldn't help but sigh.

"Sure enough, being a noble is not that easy."

How could one sit in such an important position without making any effort?

Melo and Naisha's strength may be far inferior to his, but their basic qualities are definitely beyond his reach.

"The language is not a problem," Mello said. "The problem is, what is the spell to open the Sembia tree?"

Everyone fell silent immediately.

"How about...try it first?"

Naisha gave this reminder carefully.

The three girls looked at each other and nodded in unison.

Then, they began to try various spells in the language of the tree people in front of the Sembia tree.

If translated into a meaning that Lige can understand, these spells are actually certain keywords.

For example, there are words with special meanings in the Tree People, or some special words in "that empire", or the name of an important member of the Reinnaier clan, such as the ancestor Moslo Reinnaier...

Unfortunately, the Sambia tree showed no reaction, which made the girls feel discouraged.

"Could it be some important time? Like when this Sambia tree was planted?"

"When will the Great Saint Palace be completed? Does anyone know the exact time?"

"I remember. I read about it in an ancient book. Let me try."

The three girls tried and discussed at the same time, leaving Lige aside.

In this regard, Lige was of no help at all and instead became the one who held them back.

“…Luckily I didn’t come here alone.”

That was all Li Ge could say.

Of course, he had tried other methods to open the interior space of the Sembia tree.

He used unlocking magic, teleportation magic and other abilities that might be able to reach that inner space, and also used a variety of intelligence magic for detection, trying to find some way, but all failed.

"Could it be because the tree is dead?"

Li Ge even had such an idea.

"How about... using [Space Slash] or [茈] to chop it and see?"

Both of these abilities can cut through space. Perhaps they can cut through the internal space and allow others to enter?

"Forget it, let's not take the risk."

If you accidentally destroy the internal space, it will be a lot of fun.

Just as Li Ge was thinking this, suddenly——

"Buzz!"

The withered Sambia tree suddenly trembled, and a vortex appeared on its trunk.

"what?"

Li Ge reacted suddenly and cried out in surprise.

"Have you opened it?"
