Weird Wizarding World

After watching Sally and the two figures gradually disappear, Colin withdrew his gaze, but was not in a hurry to go to the so-called red soil forest they mentioned.

Instead, he walked around and found a few local wizards to ask for information about the ancient trees.

Are they ancient trees? The nearest forest where you can find ancient trees is probably the red soil forest in the west.

It seems that due to the special soil quality, the trees growing there are not suitable for use as materials and have no great use. There are all ownerless trees there that have been allowed to grow for many years.

So if you're looking for big trees, there should be plenty of them. The last passerby wizard gave him a detailed answer.

‘Basically consistent with what Sally and I said. ’

Colin nodded secretly in his heart, then thanked the passerby wizard and hurried along the street towards the red soil forest.

There are towns of various sizes on Gupil Island.

The city they are in is naturally the largest city on Gupil Island, Gupil City.

Perhaps due to the wartime situation, flying is prohibited in Gupil City now - Margaret specifically mentioned this to them after getting off the airship yesterday.

As he walked quickly, the wind whistled past his ears. For some reason... Colin thought of Sally's words just now.

‘Run away...escape from this island? ’

After keeping a brief eye on it, Colin stopped thinking about it and headed towards the west gate with concentration.

After all, if there is any big crisis, there is nothing he can do, but if it is a small crisis, there is no need to worry.

‘But… I’ll still mention it to Margaret when I get the chance. ’

Colin added secretly in his mind.

The west gate of the castle where he was located was not too far away.

Walking quickly all the way, about twenty minutes later, we arrived at the West Gate.

After another ten minutes, after flying over a cliff, a deep green appeared clearly in the field of vision.

Looking around, there is only this forest - obviously, this is the red soil forest.

As for the red soil, it may be covered by the dense branches of trees and vegetation. Colin has not yet seen it in the sky at this moment.

Glancing around in the air, he found the tallest tree in the entire forest, and then flew straight down.

On the entire Gupil Island, there were no monsters or monsters that could threaten his safety as a first-level wizard.

But just to be on the safe side, when he reached the top of the tree, he cautiously used the three detection abilities once.

After confirming that nothing unusual was found, he plunged into the dense forest.

As soon as he entered the dense forest, he suddenly understood why this place was called the Red Earth Forest!

Colin's blue eyes reflected a large amount of red at this moment.

Originally, he thought that the red soil might just be some brownish-reddish soil.

But I never expected that the red color of this red soil would be as bright red as strawberries and cherries!

Although this bright red is gorgeous, it does not look scary. Combined with the crystal green of the trees here - this place is more like a fantasy fairy tale land.

The bright red color turned into tiny veins from the soil and spread all the way to the trunks of the surrounding trees.

Click.

Colin fell to a tree and stretched out his hand to squeeze it.

The trunk of the big tree in front of him was like a biscuit, and he easily broke off a small piece of it.

This is partly because he is so powerful now.

But on the other hand it's also because of those bright red veins that run all over the trunk.

Those veins make these trees stick back together after being broken, and it is easy to break off the debris along the bright red veins.

No matter what kind of tree it is, as long as it grows here, there will be bright red veins, which is why the trees here cannot be used at all.

After all, once these trees are cut down and leave this red soil area, those bright red veins will gradually disappear.

In the end, the original intact wood will just become a pile of debris.

Moreover, Colin picked up the pieces of the tree trunk that he had just pinched off.

These debris were soft and moist, with faint traces of decay...it didn't look like they had just fallen from under a living tree.

It's really of no use.

‘I don’t know if I will be successful if I use the Heart of the Ancient Tree witchcraft later. ’

Colin couldn't help but feel worried.

But it’s all here.

He looked around.

Finally, he chose the ancient tree in front of him that had just been pinched into pieces.

The ancient tree should be surrounded by about five or six people, which should meet the conditions for the use of the heart of the ancient tree.

Placing his palm on the ancient tree, Colin mobilized his spirit, and his magic power immediately surged.

Heart of the Ancient Tree is cast!

The next moment, Colin felt the surging life of the tree.

Those bright red veins didn't seem to affect the tree's life energy.

Under the influence of the Heart of the Ancient Tree, the life energy contained in the tree gathered in his hands like invisible mist.

Then according to special rules, a strange crystal was slowly constructed in the air.

This is how the heart of the ancient tree manifests itself in the outside world.

If it is constructed directly in the body, it will be more complicated because it involves physical adaptation.

As time went by, this strange crystal gradually took shape.

A pale pink light shines all around.

‘Is it pink?’

Colin was a little surprised.

According to the records of ancient tree heart witchcraft, generally speaking, most of the ancient tree heart crystals constructed by ancient trees in the air should be light green.

The heart of the ancient tree built in this red soil forest is a bright light pink.

There's something strange about it...perhaps it's the influence of these red soils.

Colin secretly speculated, and he turned to look at the ancient tree beside him.

The leaves of this tree, which had just been used to construct the Heart of the Ancient Tree, had shrunk significantly at this moment.

However, this is only temporary, and within a few days, this ancient tree will regain its lushness.

What the Heart of the Ancient Tree absorbs is not, strictly speaking, the vitality of the tree.

It is the spirituality of life contained in the ancient tree itself.

After all, trees and the human body cannot be generalized. The vitality of trees is of little use to the human body, let alone increasing life span and improving qualifications.

But the spirituality of life is different.

This is something that can only be born when an ancient tree grows to a certain age.

Although it cannot directly affect wizards.

But if it can be transformed properly, it will indeed be of great benefit to wizards.

In addition, taking it away will indeed severely damage the vitality of the ancient tree, but it will not directly lead to its death.

The light pink light gradually faded, and the witchcraft of the Heart of the Ancient Tree came to an end.

After a while.

Snap.

Colin released his palm and calmly caught the pink crystal that had just been suspended aside.

He held it in front of him curiously, then gently twitched his nose and sniffed it.

'It doesn't smell like anything... huh? ! ’

Uh-huh!

Colin held the Heart of the Ancient Tree in his palm and quickly turned around to look behind him.

The shadows of the trees are longing, the green leaves are whirling, and the sunlight is blocked by the dense branches and leaves. Only some weak light successfully passes through and shines into the woods.

The weak light did not obscure his vision, but he found nothing in his field of vision, and did not see anything suspicious.

Colin frowned and cast the third ability of detection.

The result of the witchcraft... was still nothing.

This red earth forest, a long time ago, had an endless stream of wizards coming and going because of its specialness.

But later, countless wizards came one after another, and even some high-level wizards came to check, but no valuable results were found.

It gradually became deserted here.

Because of its poor terrain and unsuitable for planting plants, it remains desolate and uninhabited all year round.

‘Could it be that some strange and ferocious beast was born? ’

Colin couldn't help but speculate, and at the same time increased the strength of the steel temperature-resistant force field.

Uh-huh!

At this moment, Colin's ears suddenly moved slightly, and his right hand suddenly reached out like lightning!

Eaaah!

A palm-sized red elf was caught by him and screamed in panic.

But even so, the elf was still reluctant to look at his left hand.

With a thought in mind, Colin opened his palm, revealing the pale pink Heart of Ancient Tree crystal.

Eey-y-y-yah!

The red elf suddenly shouted even more fiercely and started dancing at the same time!
