Mojure glanced at Amdoc: "Haizz, no matter how I explain it, you won't understand what I'm doing."
"Your stupidity and lowliness cannot understand the magnitude of what I am doing."
"I am helping this world regain hope. And are you selfishly keeping this tree for yourself?"
Amdoc angrily shouted, "I said I don't care what happens to this world."
"I want to be selfish, I just want to keep this tree from being destroyed."
"I said I only need a branch, I do not intend to destroy this tree." Mojure frowned and said. He felt that the Dwarves were indeed a stupid race that only knew how to destroy things.
"I don't care. If you want to touch that tree, you must step over my corpse." After speaking, Amdoc then rushed towards Mojure.
Mojure shook his head, he felt that he had wasted his time talking with Amdoc.
He waved his hand, and the space around Amdoc seemed to be frozen. Amdoc stood still, he was unable to move and he couldn't even talk.
"It's him!"
"Stop him!"
"Forward! Stop him!"
Suddenly, from the surrounding houses, countless Dwarves rushed outside, carrying wooden sticks; a few of them carried swords and spears as they rushed towards Mojure.
Mojure sighed, he didn't want to waste his time explaining to these people. Nor did he think that they would listen to his explanation.
He swung his hand around once more than the space around him was completely frozen, everyone who rushed towards him paused.
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't stop Mojure, they could only watch as he approached the tree step by step.
Mojure put his hand on the tree, when he felt the huge life energy inside the tree, he was immediately startled.
"Life energy is so great, I didn't think that there was a plant in this world that had such a large source of life energy."
"So… this tree… its whole body is a treasure. Whether it's the leaves, roots, or stems, everything is valuable."
"If I can grow it, or if we can grow it in the Saric Sanctuary it would be great."
"Life energy will cover the whole Sanctuary, and everyone will be very happy."
"So… it's too little if I take one branch. Maybe… I should take the whole tree."
"God… don't be mad at me. I am doing this only for the future of this world, the future of all living beings in this world."
"I hope you understand that I am not doing it for my own sake, please allow me to do this."
Mojure muttered, then cast magic that covered the entire tree. He waved his hand, then slowly raised it, and the tree started swaying with Mojure's hand movement.
As Amdoc saw this he widened his eyes in anger, but there was nothing he could do.
He was so angry that his mouth was bleeding. At this point, he hoped to exchange his own life for the safety of the tree.
However, he was too weak, to the point that he was like an ant in front of Mojure.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
The ground cracked open, revealing the tree's roots. Mojure managed to raise the tree without damaging it.
"What are you doing?"
"Heh?!"
Suddenly, a voice behind Mojure startled him, stopping what he was doing.
Mojure turned his head and saw that standing behind him was a Skeleton dressed in a strange outfit that gave him a very luxurious feeling.
However, it was worth mentioning that the Skeleton was able to break through the magical barrier he had erected.
What's more important is… Mojure could feel an enormous amount of pressure coming from the Skeleton.
And… this pressure was completely different from the two eyes that had looked at him before.
'This person… The pressure this skeleton is emitting is humongous. This pressure is even more terrifying than that of the Pope.'
'Could it be… Is this Skeleton one of the gods that govern this land?'
Mojure took a deep breath, he did not dare to be rude, so he used a very humble attitude to speak to the skeleton: "This is our first time meeting, my name is Mojure, from the Saric Sanctuary."
"May I know your name?"
Narita looked at Mojure, his hands were clasped behind his back, as he said slowly, "I am the principal of Elkia Academy."
That's right, Narita's current role was that of the principal of the Elkia academy, the first academy Hikaru had built in this place.
"Principal?" Mojure was a bit confused with the word Narita used, however, when he heard the word 'academy', he immediately realized that this Skeleton was probably a scholar at the top of the academy.
'Since when did a scholar possess such tremendous power?'
'weren't they just people who just dug through and tried to recover ancient documents?'
Mojure said, "So… does this tree have anything to do with you?"
"If it's not related to you, I hope you won't stop me. I need to bring it to the Saric Sanctuary, after that, I will return to this place, and kneel before the Void Lord to apologize to him."
Narita looked at Mojure like he was looking at an idiot.
'Has the sanctuary degraded that it doesn't educate the priests on character?'
Narita felt a little embarrassed when the priests acted like a self-righteous fool.
Wait!
Narita realized that he was like these priests before, acting in a subjective, self-righteous way.
However, after coming to this place, Narita seriously considered his own shortcomings.
He sighed and said: "I don't care who you are, I have nothing to do with this tree."
"However… I am a member of this kingdom. Every member of this kingdom has the responsibility and duty to preserve and protect the kingdom's assets."
"Besides… This tree is a place for the kids to consult about the biological development of plants."
Referring to the children, Narita immediately remembered what he had done, he felt that the children were not too obnoxious.
Mojure heard Narita say a series of bizarre words that he found difficult to understand.
However, he heard Narita say that everyone had a responsibility and duty to preserve and protect the property of the kingdom, he felt that Narita was just looking for a reason to protect this tree.
Since when did citizens have the responsibility and obligation to protect the property of nobles and royalty?
Looks like… this person also came to stop him from taking this tree.
"Sorry, I can't listen to what you say. No matter what, I must take this tree."
"This tree is of great significance to help this entire world dispel the fog. I can't let your selfishness keep the tree here forever."
As Mojure finished speaking, he waved his hand, intending to knock the entire tree out of the ground.
Suddenly, he felt the energy inside his body stop circulating like a frozen stream, and he was unable to move.
He frowned at Narita.
Narita didn't do anything, he just stood there, and clasped his hands behind his back, as he looked at the tree in front of him.
"Mojure, right?"
Hearing Narita's words, Mojure nodded: "That's right."
"Looks like you didn't understand what I just said." Narita shook his head and said, "I don't care about this world, nor do I care about beings outside this kingdom."
"The only thing I care about is this kingdom. If you continue to cause trouble, I'm afraid your outcome won't be so good."
"Are you threatening me?" Mojure replied.
"Hahaha… I don't need to threaten you because you don't deserve it."
As soon as Narita finished speaking, Mojure felt his heart being squeezed by someone else.
He couldn't breathe, his heart ached so much that he spat out a mouthful of blood,
Mojure could not stand still, he knelt on the ground, his hands were propped on the ground, as he constantly spat out mouthfuls of blood.
He gritted his teeth, and tried to raise his head to look at Narita: "You..."
Mojure was about to say something but he soon felt that the image he was looking at was distorting.
No, it wasn't the image that was distorted, but his mind was no longer alert enough.
Then, Mojure fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
Narita saw this and he did not continue to torture Mojure, anyway this person was from the Sanctuary, and he did not want to kill the Sanctuary's people.
After Mojure lost consciousness, the others were able to move as well. They immediately rushed towards Mojure, but Narita immediately said, "Enough!"
"Bring this man with me, you should take care of this tree. Today, I will report it to the Void Lord."
Amdoc was about to say something, however, when he heard Narita speak he breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, thank you Headmaster."
"No problem. Ah!" Narita suddenly remembered something and looked at the children.
The kids just now were extremely brave to face Mojure, but when they saw Narita's eyes, they immediately panicked, as if Narita had grabbed a weak spot.
The children stood still, they bowed their heads as they did not dare to raise their heads.
Narita felt amused. He recalled that in the past, the children would often disturb the prayers, make noise and cause trouble.
No matter what the priests said or did, they couldn't get those kids to obey them.
But now it was different, he understood the behavior and thoughts of the children easily.
'It seems… Shala is right. Children are like blank sheets of paper, whether they are good or bad is determined by adults like us.'
Narita laughed and said: "Hahaha.. these kids have a very brave expression, I have to commend them."
"However, these kids need to study harder, so their parents need to keep an eye on those kids."
Hearing that, Amdoc nodded and smiled: "Thank you Principal, I'm sure me and the parents of the kids will remind them and monitor them."
Narita nodded then looked towards Lily, she sat on the wheelchair sighing, not knowing what her fate would be.
"Don't worry, I don't blame you. You should follow me, take him to the Healing Hall."
Lily heard Narita say they were going to the Healing Hall and happily said, "Okay! I… I will follow you."
Lily's curiosity and thirst for knowledge was so great that she used her small hands to roll the wheelchair on her own.
Seeing this, Narita shook his head, and used magic to push Lily's wheelchair, then took Mojure and left.
