Ark, after I died, the operators started to love me.

Sure enough, Liboli was startled and almost bumped her forehead into Mike's face.

"PhD!"

She shouted, as if to embolden herself.

"Don't touch her," Mike said irritably, slapping Magellan's forehead.

This girl has a very large forehead, almost as big as an Iberian bird.

"Oh."

Magellan gave an "oh," turned around and stood next to Mike, not touching Xue Si, and left the question to the Doctor.

Only then did she realize that she had forgotten to ask the doctor why he was there.

However, someone as capable as a PhD would be perfectly reasonable no matter what they do, right?

If Mike knew what the explorer was thinking, he would be moved to tears; he would finally not have to rack his brains for an excuse.

The murmuring snow spirit stopped praying, slowly stood up from the ground, still with her back to the two, and said in Sami, "Guests, the sacred tree thanks you for what you have done, which has brought the tribe final peace."

78. Sami's Chosen One, Magellan

"You're welcome."

Mike responded, inwardly marveling that Magellan truly was Sami's chosen one.

The sacred tree of the tribe brought the little penguin into the dream world; his entry was merely incidental, something the sacred tree probably hadn't anticipated.

He thought for a moment and then asked, "If it's just for a thank you, there's no need to go to all this trouble. Is there anything else the Sacred Tree would like to do?"

Yuki didn't speak, but Mike could clearly hear her heavy breathing.

It seems this woman was quite unique even in death.

A few seconds later, Yuki said in as calm a tone as possible, "Sir, and Miss (whose name is unknown), the Sacred Tree has a request. A generous reward will be given upon its completion..."

"and many more."

Mike made the Ercon gesture.

Theoretically, the sacred tree is dead, and even if its roots are still alive, it would take many years before it could sprout new buds.

The Snow Fairy in front of us is definitely dead. She herself was killed by Mike's team. In that case, isn't the so-called reward just an empty promise?

Even Magellan understood what Mike meant and said embarrassedly, "Doctor, please let Miss Yuki finish speaking..."

Mike was a very sensible person, and quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. Mike, you owe me a favor."

Although he didn't know why he owed someone a favor, Magellan didn't think it was a bad thing; it was more important to listen to the other party's request for the time being.

This gentleman is truly remarkable; Miss Liboli, whom the Sacred Tree invited, was completely led by the nose by him.

Fortunately, we don't have to deal with him anymore. Who knows, he might have sold us out and we'd still have to count the money for him.

Xue Si thought to herself, "This man is even more despicable than those Colombians."

Since things had come to this, she had no choice but to reveal what she had originally intended to tell only Miss Liberi.

“Gentlemen, at the top of the sacred tree there is an unripe fruit, hidden among the branches. Take this fruit down and bring it north of Sami, and someone will tell you where the destination is. Similarly, once the seed reaches its destination, you will be rewarded handsomely.”

Yuki's words made Mike understand why he needed to be so cautious.

His team was full of all sorts of weirdos, but Magellan alone possessed a pure heart; there were very few people on the Sami Icefield who were more pure than her.

Compared to Mac, whose heart was so black it was practically oozing pus, Magellan was like a pure white flower. Who else could the Tree of God choose if not her?

Unfortunately, he had intruded into Magellan's dream, and the Sacred Tree and Snow Sacrifice had no choice but to connect them together.

If Magellan were here alone, he would have agreed to the other party's request immediately, perhaps even foregoing the reward.

Sure enough, just as Mike finished thinking, he heard Magellan pat his chest and say, "Please rest assured, Sacred Tree and Miss Xue Si, I will definitely deliver the seeds to the destination. As for the reward, it's unnecessary."

Look how innocent and pure this child is, how could the sacred tree not like him? Mike himself likes him very much too.

"In that case, thank you both."

Upon hearing Magellan's words, Yuki was initially pleased, but upon glancing at the expressionless Mike beside her, she realized that the initiative was in Magellan's hands, and the outcome would depend on his decision.

Seeing that Mai was very happy, Mike didn't say anything more.

However, he was curious about another question.

"Miss Yukimatsu, you know you've already..."

"I know."

"Oh?"

“My tribe migrated south, and I stayed behind to cover their retreat. From the moment I was corrupted by the demon, I was no longer myself. Your team was able to kill the Collapsed Being and bring everything back to peace. This is a great achievement, and I am very grateful.”

As Xue Si finished speaking, her face showed neither sorrow nor joy. She slowly knelt down beside the sacred tree, her tone extremely devout.

"For the Sami people, death is not the end. After death, the soul will return to the River Styx and become the flowers, trees, insects, feathers, scales and beasts of the Sami. This is the cycle of life and death."

As she spoke, her figure seemed to be immersed in water, becoming blurred, and slowly disappeared from Mike and Magellan's sight along with the sacred tree.

A feeling of weightlessness arose, and when Mike opened his eyes, he realized he had just had a dream.

It was still dark.

He turned over, stopped looking outside, and gradually fell asleep.

……

the next day.

Several team members in the camp got up one after another and began preparing breakfast for the day, while also discussing how to proceed.

Mike was stirring the food in his lunchbox with a spoon when he looked down at Magellan, who was also looking at him.

Their eyes met, then quickly looked away.

This was just a minor incident and didn't attract anyone's attention.

After breakfast, Magellan announced to everyone everything she had seen in her dream, but she ignored the other person involved, as if Mike didn't exist at all.

Upon hearing Magellan's description, Andorn turned to look at the withered sacred tree, which looked exactly the same as yesterday, without any change, let alone a living Snow Sacrifice.

"These are all your dreams, and they don't prove anything."

"But we cannot deny the reality of dreams."

Typhon suspected that Magellan had been contaminated by the Collapsed Body, but Magellan insisted that the dream was real and decided to climb the sacred tree to find the seed.

Andorn, who was taking notes, suddenly said, "I also believe this to be true."

Before anyone could react, he continued, "The phenomena in the Sami region cannot be explained by common sense. Miracles have appeared on the ice plains, and we must respect the facts."

Chongyue smiled and said, "I agree with Mr. Andorn's opinion."

After several people expressed their agreement, Typhon felt embarrassed to object further, so he muttered, "I'm not necessarily against her doing it, but for safety reasons, it's best not to get too close to the collapse body, even if it's already dead."

Adal provided a solution to Typhon's problem.

The little lamb's method seemed so simple, and it was used in a very simple way. She covered Magellan's chest, back, and arms with talismans filled with mathematical formulas.

Mike, who remained silent, was both amused and exasperated.

This is indeed a very practical method, but it is quite painful for the person involved.

Magellan wanted to object, but seeing Typhon's stern gaze, he had no choice but to swallow his words of objection.

She found a ladder, stood under the tree, said a few sorrys, set up the ladder, climbed up, searched for a while, and then suddenly burst into cheerful laughter.

"I found it! Hey hey hey! Ah!"

Because she was so emotional, she forgot that she was still on the ladder.

Li Boli tumbled off the ladder and crashed into the snow like a stone.

79. Where is Duck Duke?

Fortunately, the ground covered with snow was very soft, and Magellan was wearing thick winter clothing, so even though he fell hard, he was not seriously injured.

However, the way she fell really startled everyone present.

Although everyone was focused on Magellan's actions, some attention was drawn to Yuki, who was frozen into an ice block, and naturally, the person who climbed the ladder was overlooked.

It wasn't until Magellan fell in the snow that anyone realized what was happening and rushed over to check on him.

Typhon was the first to arrive. The Sarkaz girl first tried to judge whether Da Tou Yu had been corrupted by the demon based on her own experience, but her giant bow did not respond.

In other words, falling from a tree is always the fault of the person involved.

The little girl's face immediately darkened. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have found it hard to believe that the explorer would make such a stupid mistake. But upon reflection, she realized it wasn't surprising at all.

Didn't Magellan create enough jokes during his travels?

"Are you OK?"

Magellan got up from the snow, shook his head, and couldn't say a word.

Adele, on the other hand, was very attentive. First, she used her staff to create a hazy green light, and then she ran over with a first-aid kit to check on her.

"I'm fine, Miss Adele, please don't worry."

Magellan cared more about the seed she held in her hand than about herself.

The seed is covered with a thick outer skin, making it look dry and giving the illusion that it has died.

This was what the sacred tree had asked her to take in her dream yesterday. It didn't specify where to deliver it, but Magellan had a gut feeling about it.

As long as she is on the journey, she will always find her true destination.

The little penguin turned its gaze to Mike, but the doctor shook his head: "Since you found it, you can keep it. What does it have to do with me?"

The man turned and glanced at Muirsey, who was eager to try, and knew what the water sprite was thinking.

This issue still requires Magellan's approval, since she is now the protector of the race.

The little penguin smiled憨厚ly and handed the seeds to Muirsey with both hands.

The water sprite also held the seed in both hands, but returned it to Magellan after only a moment.
