Chapter 541 Tree Court
Chapter 541 Tree Court
Upon hearing this, Aglaia's expression darkened.
At this moment, Danheng promptly explained, "But please don't misunderstand, we will still provide as much assistance as possible to the Fire Chasing Journey, within our capabilities."
“However… I’ve heard there’s a conflict between the Golden Blood and the Senate of Ohmar. As outsiders, we don’t want to take sides in this struggle…”
Hearing Danheng's words, Aglaia's expression improved considerably.
Indeed, the relationship between the Golden Clan and the Senate was not good.
It's best not to involve them rashly, but rather to use them as a surprise force.
“I understand what you all mean.” Aglaia nodded.
Suddenly, a clear, crisp sound rang out.
"Wow, Ms. Eve and Danbo are really perceptive! They have great potential to join the 'Garden of Dusk'."
"Danbao?" Danheng looked at the pink-haired girl who was walking towards him with a puzzled expression.
She squinted her eyes, and when she smiled, the corners of her eyes curved, giving people a sense of intimacy.
"But don't worry~ It's not hard to tell from Ms. Aglaia's micro-expressions and tone of voice that she is very sincere to the two of you."
"Besides, as visitors from outer space, and having devoted so much effort to Ohm, you are already great heroes in everyone's eyes—Ms. Agrea will never leave you all to be roasted under Aegler's nose!"
"you are......"
Out of politeness, Danheng asked.
"Hello, I'm Feng Jin." Feng Jin smiled.
Her gaze didn't linger on Danheng for long; instead, it was entirely focused on Eve, who was standing to the side.
When Aglaia heard that it was Feng Jin who had arrived, she couldn't help but smile.
"You've come, Feng Jin. Thank you for taking care of the injured these past few days."
Feng Jin waved goodbye, "It's not hard work! The wounded are all cooperating with the treatment. I'm satisfied as long as everyone can go home healthy."
At that moment, Feng Jin saw Xia Die beside Eve, and her eyes widened instantly, her gaze brightening.
"Oh, Butterfly is here too! I missed you so much."
"Butterfly?" Eve saw Xia Die beside her and gave a faint smile.
Xia Die immediately blushed and said shyly, "Miss Feng Jin, that nickname..."
Feng Jin laughed, "Don't be shy, you're clearly very cute~"
"Ahem... This girl... is really outgoing." Dan Heng said with a hint of helplessness.
“Indeed, and there’s a very strong sense of déjà vu,” Eve said.
With her pink hair and outgoing personality, doesn't she look just like our beautiful and charming Miss March?
"But why did you call me Danbao?" Dan Heng was still bothered by the way he had been addressed.
“It’s a nickname! Isn’t it cute?” Feng Jin said with a smile.
"But Eve..."
"Because Eve is a lady, and she is as powerful as Lady Aglaia, and she even defeated the Titan of Strife, so she should be called a lady."
"Alright." Dan Heng was completely speechless.
"It seems Danheng is still as inarticulate as ever," Eve chuckled.
"I'm just calm... but this overly familiar..." Dan Heng muttered to himself.
"Hehe, after all, I am the assistant priest of Aigle, so it is my responsibility to heal everyone with sunlight."
Upon hearing Eve and Danheng's conversation, Feng Jin immediately explained, her tone as relaxed as before, but with an added touch of curiosity.
"And what's more, I've also heard that you two are children from the distant sky. We might actually be quite destined for each other."
"So... I want to be friends with both of you and hear your stories about the sky! Ms. Aglaia, Ohmma has gone to great lengths to bring out such a precious gift, so please let me share in its glory?"
Feng Jin seemed to be making a request to Aglaia, but her eyes were still glancing at Eve out of the corner of her eye.
Aglaia immediately replied, "Of course, I won't refuse."
She then turned to Eve and Danheng, saying, "Please believe me, there is no deeper meaning behind this gift—we can discuss the alliance another day."
"So, this is just a delaying tactic." Dan Heng realized the problem.
This Miss Feng Jin is clearly a savior that Aglaia brought in.
"No, that's not true. Ms. Aglaia is so capable, how could I possibly help with something like this?" Feng Jin said anxiously.
At that moment, Eve spoke up.
"In that case...we won't refuse. Thank you for the gift, Ohmma, and Miss Feng Jin is welcome to communicate at any time."
Danheng quickly understood Eve's meaning and nodded in agreement.
Hearing Eve agree, Feng Jin became overjoyed.
"Great! Now I need to design the survey questionnaire properly..."
Dan Heng could no longer contain himself.
"Excuse my bluntness, but I've been wanting to ask this since just now: 'Micro-expressions,' 'tone of voice,' 'surveillance questionnaires'... Do the priests of Aegler really need to master these skills?"
This doesn't look like a priest; it looks more like a psychologist.
Aglaia then coughed lightly.
"Let me formally introduce you—this is Kaze Sumire, a lecturer's assistant from the 'Wisdom Seed School' of the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden, and also the head nurse of the medical institution 'Dim Light Garden.'"
"A few days ago, Ohma was attacked by Nicardoli, and many Golden Clan members were wounded in the battle. Tree Court specially dispatched Ms. Feng Jin to support Ohma and provide medical treatment for the wounded..."
Feng Jin continued speaking, following Aglaia's lead.
"But what I do best is heal the deep-seated problems in people's hearts—if you encounter any troubles, feel free to come to me and confide in me anytime! Just bask in the sun in the courtyard, and your troubles will naturally disappear."
"Oh, you're a psychologist... We'll take care of it, thank you."
Dan Heng then realized what was happening.
It seems my guess was right.
Feng Jin smiled again. "It seems everyone has resolved their differences. Ms. Aglaia, the injured people you asked me to take care of have all recovered, so I should get going."
“Although I would love to keep you here a few more days, if I force you to stay in Ohmmar… the people of Tree Court will gossip behind your back.” Aglaia sighed.
"It just so happens that Ohma intends to send an envoy to Tree Court. While seeking information on the progress of research related to the Black Tide, he also wants to convey this message: we hope to discuss the matter of recovering the Serhis Fire Seed as soon as possible."
Feng Jin hesitated, "This...is indeed a very serious matter. Ms. Aglaia, you wouldn't be suggesting I...."
"Don't be nervous, we will never make things difficult for you. Tian will go as a diplomatic envoy, and Xia Die will also go with you."
The butterfly nodded.
"Regarding the missing Titan Cenatos... I happen to have some questions I'd like to ask Professor Nakashika."
When Danheng heard them talking about news inside Ohm, he glanced at Eve and then took a step back.
"Since this involves diplomatic affairs in Ohmma, we will leave now."
“Wait, you two.” Aglaia called out to Danheng and Eve.
"Although it is Ohmma's diplomatic affairs, it is not a secret that cannot be revealed to others."
"Aren't you two here to gather more information about Onpharos?"
"I do have a suggestion."
“Now that we understand the situation, and there’s nothing else to do in Ohm, why don’t we all go to the Tree Garden together?”
"Moreover, the scenery there is secluded and elegant, making it suitable for travel."
Hearing Aglaia's words, Feng Jin's eyes lit up again. "That's a great suggestion! Welcome, Ms. Eve, to Tree Garden! I'll be your tour guide!"
"Is Mom coming too?" Xia Die's eyes were just as bright as Feng Jin's.
"Mom?" Feng Jin's small eyes revealed great confusion.
When did Diebao get a mother?
And a child from a distant sky?
Hmm, something's not right here. I need to find a chance to ask Diebao about it!
Feng Jin's mind raced with thoughts in an instant.
“That sounds good. Collecting information about the local customs and culture of different regions of Onfaros is also part of the ‘exploration’ strategy.” Danheng agreed with the suggestion.
However, everyone's final gaze fell upon Eve.
"can."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when Eve nodded.
"Since this is also part of the development, we have no reason to refuse."
"Incidentally, this also helps Ms. Aglaia resolve a worry, doesn't it?" Eve smiled as she looked at Aglaia.
"Ms. Eve is joking."
Aglaia remained calm and composed, showing no change in expression even after Eve exposed her.
"However, I have something to say."
"For Tree Court and Ohm, they are allies."
"But the matter of the fire cannot be delayed any longer."
"Besides what you see and hear during your travels, please keep a close eye on things," Aglaia said.
Although the spark of the rational Titans has been promised to the Golden Blood, it is still preserved in the Tree Garden.
Aside from a few discontented voices in the Tree Garden, Aglaia was more worried about the Black Tide.
Now that Suspended Peak City has fallen, the next city to fall will soon follow.
But Xia Die, standing to the side, was somewhat worried.
She was happy when she first heard that she would be traveling with her mother.
But then I started to worry.
Because she knew that Tree Garden was Cecily's territory, in other words, it was her mother's own territory.
If the mother's goal is to protect her own flame, then Ms. Aglaia's actions are likely to provoke her mother's displeasure.
“I understand,” Eve nodded.
"I can agree to that."
Hearing Eve nod, Xia Die, who had been tense, breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, no conflict occurred.
At this moment, Aglaia took out a golden spindle.
"Thank you, and please take this spindle with you on your journey—"
"This item is called 'Weft Spinning Tool,' a spinning tool passed down through generations of my family. Now, its symbolic meaning far outweighs its practical use. Seeing this item is equivalent to seeing me in person. If Shuting has any reservations, simply show it to him."
"Furthermore, I know that within the boundaries of the Tree Garden, the golden threads it draws out can outline everything around you, whether it has taken shape or not, just like... what I see."
"Make good use of it. Tian awaits you on the outskirts of Ohma—I wish you a safe journey."
At this moment, Xia Die took Aglaia's golden spindle, and then Aglaia left.
"Speaking of which, who is that Xia you just mentioned?" Eve became interested in the name Xia Die mentioned.
“That’s right. Bai’er and I studied at the Tree Pavilion. At that time, Teacher Xia was in charge of teaching us about the Golden Blood and Titans. It was also at that time that I met Miss Feng Jin—she was Teacher Xia’s teaching assistant,” Xia Die explained.
“That’s right, that’s right.” Feng Jin nodded from the side.
"At that moment, Teacher Xia was very meticulous and had her own pursuits."
At this moment, Dan Heng spoke up.
"What kind of place is the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden?"
Before heading to a place, you need at least some information.
“The Divine Enlightenment Tree Academy is an allied academy of Ohma,” Feng Jin smiled.
"We safeguard the flame of Sersis and are a leading institution for studying mysterious things such as the Black Tide and Titans. We also provide academic research support for the journey to the Flame."
"Several Golden Descendants are also stationed in the Tree Garden, including myself and Teacher Xia."
“I see. Sersis... I remember he was a rational Titan, right?” Danheng thought for a moment.
At this moment, Xia Die's body suddenly tensed up.
“Yes, she is also a Titan who is willing to be close to humans.” Feng Jin nodded.
"Alright, alright, let's go! We'll talk about the rest on the way."
Feng Jin was already quite impatient.
"it is good."
Eve and Danheng exchanged a glance, while Xia Die hugged Eve's arm tightly.
Feng Jin suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, a companion from 'Dim Light Courtyard' came with me. I've already asked her to pack her things and wait for me at the city gate. Let's go meet her!"
........................
Gates of Ohma.
As soon as the group arrived at the city gate, they saw the companion that Feng Jin had mentioned.
But strangely, a little red-haired girl was also there.
It was Tian.
“I saw her and Lady Tian!... But who are they surrounding?” Feng Jin asked, puzzled.
She immediately stepped forward, only to see the wounded lying in front of Tian.
Feng Jin immediately became anxious.
"What happened, Clementine... Ah, such a bad injury!"
Clementine turned her head sharply upon hearing the voice of the wind violet.
"Miss Feng Jin, who is this injured person...?"
“Tian found him! Tian was in a bad mood this morning, so he went to the outskirts of Ohm to clear his head, and then, and then he found him collapsed by the roadside!”
“Tian knows there are good doctors in the city! So Tian brings his unfamiliar friend into the city to find a good doctor!”
Clementine nodded; she was still very anxious.
“I was waiting for Miss Feng Jin here when I happened to run into Lord Tian. At that time, the injured person's condition was already very critical... I could only provide some emergency treatment.”
