Above the mage!

Chapter 266 Sunaifa

"Since Great Elder Donald has said so, I will give it a try." Grant thought about it and finally made up his mind. He raised his head, looked directly at Donald who was sitting on the main seat, and spoke slowly.

"Ah?!" Grant's response obviously exceeded Donald's expectations, so much so that he was stunned for a moment.

No, I dare to praise you because I have bad intentions. Why do you dare to respond?

There was a hint of suspicion and lack of confidence in his eyes.

Sunaifa also lowered his eyes and looked at Grant deeply.

Of course, she fully supports Grant, who is one of “her own”.

"Since Elder Grant has the idea and confidence, let him give it a try first. If he cannot solve the problem, we can think of other ways." Sunaifa laid down the rules.

"Then let's go first."

After speaking, Sunaifa was the first to stand up and left the meeting room without looking back.

Grant followed closely behind, and stood up and left with Sunaifa.

"Elder Grant, when are you planning to go see the Bingyu Wutong?" After leaving the Elders' Hall and seeing that no one else was following, Sunaifa stopped, turned around and asked Grant who was following behind him.

"War Mother, I have to find a helper first." Facing Sunaifa, Elder Grant did not hide anything and told the truth.

"With my limited experience in growing Golden Wheat, I can't say I can find the problem with the Ice Jade Wutong, but I know an expert in this field, and he should be the most likely person to solve the problem of the Ice Jade Wutong at the moment."

Grant hesitated for a moment, but decided to call Flora "person".

Yes, the "expert" that Elder Grant thought of was Flora, who helped him solve the insect pest problem of golden wheat.

"Elder Grant actually knows such a person?" Sunaifa raised his eyebrows unconsciously when he heard this, somewhat surprised.

Such people may be rarer than Zhenbing in the North.

"He's a foreigner," Grant explained.

Gode, Loychi and Catherine were still waiting for good news from Elder Grant at their destination.

Finally, Elder Grant did come, but it was not good news.

"Are you here to see Gode?" Loychi asked in surprise after learning the purpose of Elder Grant's visit.

Elder Grant nodded and said, "Something urgent has happened in the tribe, and we need his help."

"Then I'll call him, please wait." Although he was curious about what was going on, Roychi still had a sense of boundaries. He didn't ask more questions, but immediately got up and went to find Gao De.

Looking at Loychi's departing figure, Elder Grant secretly felt lucky that he had been nice enough to Gao De before.

Not to mention anything else, just the fifteen drops of second-level ice marrow as a token of gratitude, at least it would leave a good impression on the other person, right?
Soon, Loichi came with God.

"Elder, do you want to talk to me about something?" Not only Roychi was curious, but Goder was also confused. He asked directly as soon as he sat down.

"Yes, and it's an urgent matter. After thinking about it, I think you are the only one who can help me." Elder Grant was very sincere.

"What exactly is it?"

"There has been a problem with our tribe's Ice Jade Wutong recently, but we can't find the specific reason, let alone what to do." Having said that, Elder Grant glanced at Flora, who had been sitting on Gode's shoulder and came in with him.

Flora was also listening carefully to what Elder Grant said. When the two looked at each other, Flora tilted her head: I always feel that the other person's gaze seems too hot?

"I know that Lady Flora is good at planting. Although the Ice Jade Wutong is the guardian tree of our tribe and has a very high status, it is actually a high-level magic plant, and is also a type of plant. It is exactly what Lady Flora is good at. Can you ask Lady Flora to help take a look?"

Elder Grant turned his gaze back to Goder and asked him earnestly.

Gao De waved his hand and said, "Since we are asking Lady Flora for help, then of course we have to ask Lady Flora."

Solving Jin Huimai’s problem before was to help him. There is no distinction between you and me between him and Flora, so there is no need to be polite.

But now helping Elder Grant find the problem with the Bingyu Wutong has nothing to do with him, so naturally he has to ask Flora for her opinion.

After saying this, Godel lowered his head and glanced at Flora on his shoulder.

The little guy was now sitting upright with his chest held high.

"Lady Flora, are you willing to help?" Goder asked in a low voice.

"Is there money to be made?" Flora stared at Elder Grant with wide eyes.

"Money?" Elder Grant didn't react.

Flora thought he didn't understand and explained to him seriously, "Money is used to buy food, rent a house, and buy new clothes. It's a good thing."

Hearing what Flora said, Elder Grant finally reacted, and then he spread his hands and said, "Lady Flora, there is no such thing as coins in the North."

"No~" Flora stretched out her voice.

This means asking why.

"However, if Lady Flora can help solve the problem of Bingyu Wutong, I can give her ice marrow."

As if he was afraid that Flora didn't understand, Elder Grant added: "In the North, you can also buy food and rent a house in Bingsui."

"Ice marrow is money!"

"almost."

Flora beamed.

Gao De lowered his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but praise: "Lady Flora has a wise heart."

So the little man became even happier.

"Then leave it to Lady Flora." Flora agreed readily.

Gao De was also very moved. He didn't expect that Flora's ability could be used twice in a short period of time in this most desolate northern territory.

"When can Lady Flora set off? Is there anything she needs to prepare?" Elder Grant asked hurriedly after the "deal" was reached.

"It will be fine right now. Lady Flora does not need to prepare anything."

"Then I'll leave it to Lady Flora." Elder Grant solemnly bowed to the little man who was not even as big as his finger.

"Hum~"

"Then let's go." Elder Grant immediately stood up, and it was obvious that he was very anxious.

Gao De also stood up and said, "I want to go with her."

"Of course." Elder Grant responded politely.

Gao De smiled widely, and through telepathic communication he praised Flora, saying, "The elder is so polite to me. I am really blessed by Lady Flora. Besides, I also have Ice Marrow. This family is now supported by Lady Flora."

"Master, I will support you!" Lady Flora was very happy and even more proud.

"Okay." Gao De was dazed for a moment, then quickly responded happily.

Following Elder Grant, Gold was able to enter the most central area of ​​Phoenix directly.

As they walked along and crossed several ice walls, the concentration of magic power increased. And at the back, armored hunter guards gradually appeared, patrolling and guarding.

Obviously, this is a restricted area and ordinary people are not allowed to enter.

After crossing another ice wall made of icicles, we finally entered the innermost area of ​​Phoenix.

He could already see with his naked eyes a faint magical power flowing around in front of him, making him feel as if he was in a holy place.

"Is this the core spiritual place of Phoenix?" Gode felt the increasingly strong magic in the air around him and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The next moment, a strong magical power that he had never felt before filled his mouth and nose.

In just such a short moment, Gao De even felt that his practice had improved.

"Is this a fifth-level spiritual land?" He couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Yes," Elder Grant nodded, with a hint of pride in his tone, "This is the heart of Phoenix."

"See it? That's the Ice Jade Wutong." He pointed to the deepest part of the spiritual land, which was also the center.

There is a strange tree made of ice crystals, sparkling with ice crystal light under the sunlight.

From afar, the strange tree looked brilliant and crystal clear, emitting a soft glow. It did not look like a tree but more like a goddess.

Gao De's attention was completely attracted by the Bingyu Wutong.

"The Ice Jade Wutong has always been the patron saint tree of our tribe. Of course, the one in front of you is not the one from ancient times." Elder Grant explained to Gode and Lady Flora.

This is actually considered a secret, but since we have invited the two of them here, there is no need to hide anything.

"After the Iceborn bloodline began to decline, the original Ice Jade Wutong mother tree also began to have problems. Its power inexplicably began to rapidly dissipate. In the end, it only had time to branch out into a sapling before it turned into ice crystals and completely disappeared."

At this point, Elder Grant couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"The Ice Jade Wutong tree is naturally capable of gathering ice elements. The saplings take root in this spiritual land, gathering ice elements and magic power at the same time."

"Because the source of this spiritual land is actually the Ice Jade Wutong Mother Tree."

"After the Ice Jade Wutong mother tree disappeared, the magic power in the spiritual land began to dissipate rapidly. If it weren't for the sub-trees gathering the magic power, this spiritual land would have ceased to exist long ago, let alone maintaining its current grade as a fifth-tier spiritual land."

As they were talking, they had already arrived under the Ice Jade Wutong tree.

When he got so close, Gao De discovered that there was actually another figure under the Ice Jade Wutong tree.

Looking closely, it was a woman with a slender figure, wearing a dark blue, almost black battle suit and a wide cloak that fluttered slightly in the wind.

The edge of the cloak is decorated with golden tassels, making it look extremely noble and gorgeous.

The lower part of the battle suit is an ankle-length skirt with a wide hem that also flutters in the wind, making it look light and elegant.

However, what attracted the most attention was the huge ice bow as tall as a man that the woman was carrying on her back.

The moment he saw the ice bow, Gao De guessed the woman's identity.

It was at this moment that the woman turned around and looked at him quietly with her dark blue eyes.

The woman was very tall, and her eyes were exactly at the same level as Gaode's, looking straight at him.

When their eyes met, Gao De suddenly felt his scalp tingling. Those deep blue eyes made him feel like he had hit an icy lake.

It was only now that he saw the woman clearly, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes - he had heard that the other party was very young, but he never expected her to be so young and look so stunning.

His facial features were so delicate that he didn't look like someone from the North at all. His skin was extremely fair without any blemishes, as if it was carved from the purest ice crystals.

She was also tall, not as tall as a Northerner.

And between the woman's white eyebrows, there is an extremely mysterious and ancient totem, which adds a bit of noble and mysterious temperament to her, and makes people feel an indescribable majesty and power.

"War Mother." Elder Grant bowed respectfully to the woman, a hint of awe in his tone.

After Sunaifa glanced at Gao De, he turned his gaze to Elder Grant and said in a calm voice, "Elder Grant, is he the helper you are looking for?"

Elder Grant showed a respectful expression and quickly replied: "Mother Zhan, the helper I'm looking for is actually her."

He pointed at Flora on Goder's shoulder and said, "This is his pet, Flora, who is very proficient in planting."

"Hmm?" The woman looked at Flora with interest, then greeted her seriously, "Hello, I'm Sunaifah."

"I'm Lady Flora, and this is my wizard." Flora was not at all nervous. She flapped her wings and flew up, introducing herself in Ace language.

"I understand. This time there is some problem with the Ice Jade Wutong of my tribe, and no one in the tribe can handle it. I would like to trouble you to help take a look. If you can find the problem and solve it, our tribe will be very grateful to you two." Sunaifa nodded slightly.

Godard nodded in response and glanced at Flora.

Flora immediately understood and flew to the Ice Jade Wutong tree, and checked it up and down as she had done before.

Although Gao De was not as talented as Flora, he had learned [Magic Plant Cultivation], so he subconsciously observed the situation of the Ice Jade Wutong in front of him.

In fact, the problem is obvious.

On the not-so-thick trunk of the Ice Jade Sycamore, which seems to be carved from the purest ice crystals, you can see nearly twenty tiny but distinct cracks.

A faint blue light shone through the cracks.

This is like a spider crack appearing on a piece of exquisite porcelain. Although it doesn't seem to be very serious, it is very likely to shatter completely in the next moment. No wonder Elder Grant is so anxious.

What could be the reason? Gao De thought hard, but with his knowledge, he obviously couldn't come up with an answer.

Because the Ice Jade Wutong is the only magical plant in the world and is completely different from ordinary magical plants. If its symptoms were common, Elder Grant would definitely not need to ask for external assistance.

So, I can only look at Flora's.

Gode ​​was not worried because Flora's ability was enough to reassure him.

In fact, Flora already had the answer, and the reason she is still busy now is entirely because of the story of the "young locksmith".

Finally, after "performing" for ten minutes, Flora felt she had had enough and flew back, landing on Goder's shoulder.

"Lady Flora, how is it?" Elder Grant looked anxious and worried.

He was anxious because he wanted to know the answer, and he was worried because he was afraid that something really big had happened to Bingyu Wutong.

Flora shook her little head.

“No problem was found.”

"Ah?!" Elder Grant was immediately distraught upon hearing Flora's words. He couldn't even hide the disappointment on his face. He subconsciously murmured, "Even you can't..."

"Because there is nothing wrong with it?" Flora continued. She tilted her head and looked at Grant with a puzzled look, then looked at Sunaifa, and said in a clear voice: "Why do you all think there is something wrong with it?"

Sunaifa's eyes, which had always been as calm as an ice lake, were slightly disturbed. She opened her lips slightly and asked, "Why has the power of the ice element in the Ice Jade Wutong weakened so much, and why did the cracks on the surface appear?"

She did not question Flora's judgment, but asked for the specific reasons.

"Because it is about to advance, but the ice elemental power is not enough."
