Mike, the princess, and Stone walked forward.
This space had a special feeling, as if they were walking underwater.
However, there was clearly no water around them, and they could breathe easily.
After a long walk in this green environment, they finally saw a special pillar in front of them.
The pole was not tall, only about 50 centimeters, and there was a light green ball on the pole.
“Is that a test?” Mike asked.
The princess whispered, “Maybe.”
Stone echoing, “Ya, yes, maybe.”
Obviously, they don't have a definite answer, but Mike still decided to give it a try.
They gradually approached the pillar.
Once they were at a certain distance, the ball suddenly emitted a green light.
Then, a voice sounded from the ball.
“This is the test of the Spirit Tree Village. Only after passing the exam can one leave the Tree Spirit Village.”
The voice sounded very old, like a wise old man.
The spirit of the small tree, Stone, was a little excited and nervous.
It finally saw the test he dreamed of.
During passing this exam, Stone was able to leave the village and see the outside world.
The old voice continued,
“Now, please put your hand on this green pearl.”
Stone did not find anything strange with this sentence, but Mike and the princess quietly looked at each other.
They were not sure if the old voice was talking about the spirit of the small tree, Stone, or the three of them.
Therefore, Mike took the initiative to bend down and pick up Stone.
“What do you do?” Stone was slightly stunned when he saw his feet leaving the ground.
Mike smiled and said,
“Because you so want to leave this place, I will let you do the act of touching pearls. It would be more ritualistic.”
The little tree spirit stone heard this and became bright again.
“It's true, it's true. I'll do it.”
After saying that, he placed his hand on the green pearl.
The next moment, the green pearl seemed to feel the hand of the small tree spirit stone. The light on the pearl flickered as if it was breathing.
Seeing this scene, the spirit of the small tree, Stone, was completely attracted to him.
However, Mike and the princess were a little nervous.
Although their bait could fool the simple-minded tree spirits.
That may not necessarily make them eligible for the exam.
This was also the reason why Mike wanted the little tree spirit to touch the pearl.
Soon, an old voice sounded again.
“You are a simple and kind-hearted tree spirit. Spirit Tree Village is proud of you.”
Stone laughed happily when he heard that.
“Ya, yes. We are simple and kind.”
Meanwhile, Mike and the princess could only smile awkwardly.
That's because the old voice was supposed to refer to Stone, and not Mike and the princess.
The old voice continued.
“However, the outside world is still too complicated for you. You will probably face a lot of trouble if you leave the Spirit Tree Village, so you have to pass my exam first.”
When the Little Tree Spirit Stone heard this, it immediately said,
“Quick start the test, quickly start the test.”
Clearly, I can't wait to leave the Spirit Tree Village.
Soon, the old voice asked a question.
“May I know, if a human says that he wants to borrow your fruit and promises to return it to you in 200 years, do you agree?”
The little tree spirit stone did not think much and will excitedly say, “I agree.”
However, Mike quickly reached out his right hand and covered the little tree spirit's mouth.
The spirit of the small tree was still held in the air by Mike, only to be held with one hand.
He turned and looked at Mike in confusion.
Mike frowned and whispered into the small tree spirit's ear,
“You can't agree. It is very difficult for humans to live up to 200 years. Obviously, that human is lying to you.”
When the little tree spirit heard this, he was extremely shocked.
“What?”
I obviously didn't think it was a lie.
It didn't do anything wrong. Why do humans lie?
Mike could feel Stone's shock and hesitation, but it was difficult for him to explain it clearly.
In fact, the world is like that. Many people will deceive others for their own benefit.
Moreover, this sort of thing was clearly incomprehensible among the tree spirits.
Mike reminded him in a low voice,
“Reply reply. Say that you disagree.”
The little tree spirit hesitated for a moment and said loudly,
“I disagree!”
The old voice went silent for a moment before asking,
“Why?”
The spirit of Stone's small tree glanced at Mike and replied doubtfully,
“Because... because human lifespan may not be that long. That human might lie to me.”
The old voice went back to silence.
Stone turned and glanced at Mike. His gaze showed some traces of unease.
Stone still chooses to trust Mike.
Because they were friends, Stone did not expect Mike would lie to her.
Soon, the old voice replied.
“I'm so surprised that you're really considering this. I don't know if I should be happy or sad, but your answer is correct.”
The eyes of the small tree spirit stone widened, clearly surprised that the answer was correct.
The old voice continued to speak.
“However, this is not the only test. You still have to keep answering.
“If a fully armed group of humans came to you and said that they wanted to be friends with you, what would you do?”
When the little tree spirit stone heard this, it immediately became happy again.
He wanted to say that he likes to be friends.
Mike stopped it again.
“You must quickly get away from this human,” said Mike calmly, but his heart was very uncomfortable.
He knew that this was very unreasonable, but it was very common.
He knew the answer clearly.
However, for the Little Tree Spirit Stone, it was extremely strange.
Sure enough, the spirit of the small tree looked at Mike in confusion.
That doesn't understand.
Isn't it good that the other party wants to be friends with him?
Why should I run away from them?
Mike does not take the initiative to explain this, but Stone chooses to trust Mike.
“I think I should get away from them as soon as possible.”
The old voice went back to silence.
After a while, the old voice said,
“Good, I think you already know what's going on outside, but I still have one last question to ask.”
The little tree spirit stone nodded and said, “Ask, I will definitely answer correctly.”
The reason why he was so confident was because Mike helped him.
Stone believes that Mike will definitely be able to help him complete the test.
The old voice asked for the last time.
The question inevitably made the princess nervous.
“If there was a man who looked very different from you holding a Tree Spirit Village card, would you trust them?”
