Chapter 645

"It's time to practice. How did you rest, Master Tian? From what I heard from your sleep talk, I guess you had a long dream, didn't you?"

Tian rubbed his sleepy eyes, looking confused, "Hmm, sleep talking? What did Tian say?"

"Hmm... 'Mom, doll with a sword, fight side by side, be brave!' or something like that?"

Tian's face instantly turned red and she covered her cheeks with her hands, "Oh, how embarrassing...Everyone please don't laugh at Tian!"

Xiadie hurriedly comforted him, "Of course not. Remember that Lord Tian's mother is also the Saint of Janusapolis, right?"

Tian sat up straight, her eyes full of pride, "Yes, and she is the most powerful saint in the history of Gate City! It was my mother who brought us the prophecy of salvation - and she also has cute red hair like a red mushroom!" As she spoke, her eyes dimmed again, "But... Tian seems to have forgotten what my mother looks like, and it was the same in my dream just now..."

At this time, Mimi, who had been quietly sitting on Lin Yu's shoulder, suddenly popped up and said excitedly, "In this case...Xinghe and others will come to help Xiaotian!"

Xing looked at Mimi and said, "But you don't have arms, you only have...padded arms."

Mimi shook her body and explained anxiously, "It's just a metaphor. Think about it, there are many memories left everywhere in the world, and there must be the figure of Xiaotian's mother among them. As long as people look carefully during the journey of searching for memories, and then let the stars "bang" - Xiaotian can not only remember what her mother looks like, but can even talk to her, right?"

Tian's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, "Well... Tian thinks this is a great idea! Then, can Tian ask the pink puppy for help?"

When Mimi heard this, she stamped her feet anxiously, "As long as Xiaotian stops calling me pink puppy, I'll agree to your request!"

Tian tilted his head and thought for a while, "Okay! From now on I will call you...Xiao Xiao Mi!"

Mimi shook his head in satisfaction, "Well! That's more like it... But, although I just casually said a name, what kind of species is it?" Its furry face was full of confusion, "Forget it, no matter what it is, I keep my word! Now that Xiaotian has perked up, shall we set off?"

"If we follow this longitude and latitude path, we will soon reach the tree garden." Tian said excitedly as he walked briskly.

Mimi slowly turned in the air, then hovered in midair, staring at the winding path under her feet and asked, "Latitude and longitude path...what does this name mean?" Her furry body swayed gently in the wind, and her ears trembled with it.

Xiadie raised her head slightly and said softly, "Legend has it that when Meneta went to see Sersis, she would always wear a long skirt woven of white gauze. The warp and weft threads fell on the ground and became roads and steps. The sunlight shone on her, outlining her elegant silhouette." At this point, Xiadie closed her eyes slightly.

Tian stopped and pointed ahead, "Look, a big tree! It's - big!" Her voice broke the silence, full of childlike surprise.

"How spectacular! Xing, let's record it quickly." Mimi suggested.

Xing immediately raised the camera, adjusted the angle and took several photos.

When everyone gathered, the camera screen lit up - the majestic posture of the giant tree was perfectly captured.

Xing raised her lips slightly, her eyes showing confidence, and she whispered, "This photo really deserves an award, it's worthy of me."

"Hey? Xing~ Do you want to compete with Master Sanyueqi in photography skills?" Sanyueqi hugged Xing's neck from behind, smiled evilly and moved closer to the screen, "Let me judge it - well, the composition is acceptable. If I take the photo, I will definitely make the tree more dreamy!"

Xing was hugged by Sanyueqi, and pretended to be disgusted and gently pushed him away, "Let's take a look at your skills first before we talk. The photos you take always make me look shorter."

San Yue Qi snorted in dissatisfaction, "That's a matter of angle! If I were to take the photo, I would be able to make this tree look even more dreamy!"

Tian came over and tilted his head to look at the camera screen. "No matter who took the photo, the tree looks beautiful! It's like... like a giant protecting us!"

Mimi tilted her round head up, full of curiosity, "But what exactly is this huge tree?"

Xiadie looked at the giant tree and explained, "That is the Split Branch, the body of the god Cersis. Where it took root is the plain basin under our feet. Trees and flowers began to grow, gradually forming this lush forest." She raised her hand and pointed to the vague outline of the building in the forest, and continued, "A long time ago, the "first scholar" Celesus led everyone to build a garden and courtyard in the forest, named 'Divine Enlightenment Tree Courtyard', so that people could wake up, seek knowledge, and realize the truth here."

"Tian knows this!" Tian rushed to respond, his eyes bright, "Everyone says that this huge college was built like this."

Mimi tilted her head, looked at the silent tree garden and asked in confusion, "But is the academy such a quiet place?"

Xiadie shook her head gently, "I always feel like something is wrong. The Tree Court has always welcomed learners, and Sersis would also bring tender leaves on the breeze and stretch out its branches to form a road to welcome them. But now..." She looked around, the Tree Court was still silent, "Both the messengers of the Tree Court and the Titans seem indifferent."

Mimi suddenly spun twice, the fur on his tail trembling slightly, "Could it be that Shu Ting is in trouble? As 'special visitors', we will definitely be able to find out!"

"That shouldn't be the case.. Maybe everyone is just sleeping because class hasn't started yet! They closed the door because they don't want to be disturbed."

"Anyway... let's take a walk around the area and find out what's going on." Mimi's furry body swayed gently in the breeze, and his ears twitched smartly, as if trying to capture any unusual sounds around him.

Everyone dispersed as instructed and began to explore the surroundings. The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the breeze gently blowing through the leaves.

Xiadie frowned slightly and murmured softly, "It's really strangely quiet.. What happened?"

Tian was looking around for a way to enter the tree garden.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, she waved her arms excitedly, and shouted, "Tian, ​​we found it - we can fly to the other side!"

Following the direction of her finger, everyone saw the Janus Secret Path.

"The door, where is it on the other side?" Tian looked across and muttered softly.

Just then, Xing stood up.

She controlled two nodes that were emitting faint light.

As she moved, the nodes slowly turned, making a slight humming sound.

Under Xing's precise control, the two nodes were aligned steadily.

In an instant, a bright teleportation light portal slowly appeared before everyone's eyes, and the light illuminated the surrounding darkness.

Tian immediately clapped his hands and cheered, praising loudly, "Xiao Xiao Hui, you have sharp eyes!"

Xiadie nodded slightly and said, "As expected of you, Your Excellency. Ahead... should be the Courtyard of Mercy."

When everyone stepped into the Garden of Compassion, they were expecting to see a lively learning scene or a warm welcome from the Tree Garden messengers, but the scene before them made everyone's heart sink instantly.

The court was dead silent, without a trace of human presence.

Xiadie looked around and couldn't help but say, "Sure enough, something is wrong..."

Mimi circled in the air for a few times, "Even if we are not learners, we have come here, but no one has come out to guide us."

Xing frowned and put forward his own guess, "Maybe Aglaya didn't inform them in advance?"

Xiadie immediately denied it, "She would never neglect such an important diplomatic matter."

At this moment, Tian took a deep breath, cupped her hands to her mouth, and shouted at the top of her voice, "Is there — anyone — here —?" Her voice kept echoing in the empty Garden of Love, one after another, but the only response she got was endless silence.

Tian waited for a long time, hung his head, and said disappointedly, "No!"

"You scared me!" Xing was startled by Tian's sudden increase in voice.

Xiadie suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Tian seriously, "By the way, Master Tian, ​​please lend me that golden spindle."

Tian was stunned for a moment, then reacted and hurriedly took out the golden spindle from the package he was carrying, handed it to Xiadie, and asked curiously, "Xiadie, what do you want this for?"

Xiadie took the spindle and explained, "Remember? Lord Aglaya said, 'In the territory of the tree garden, the golden threads it draws can also outline everything around you, whether it is formed or not.' This is because the tree garden is not only the root of Sersis, but also the place where the romantic Titan of the Golden Cocoon appears. "

As she spoke, Xiadie held the spindle in both hands and closed her eyes. "Oh, Titan of Romance Meneta! Seal our oath with the 'weft drawing', and I make a wish to you - may your golden thread and love wrap around me!" Her voice echoed in the silence, with a bit of solemnity and piety.

"You scared me too!" Xing was startled by Xiadie's sudden loud recitation.

Xiadie opened her eyes and looked at Xing apologetically, "I'm sorry... In order to make the golden thread resonate with the Titan's manifestation in the earth veins, I have to recite this. If it's correct... We should be able to use the golden thread to draw power from this butterfly shell."

Everyone held their breath, staring closely at the spindle in Xiadie's hand, waiting for a miracle to happen.

Time passed by minute by minute, there was silence all around, nothing happened.

"Hmm, there seems to be no reaction... Is it because it has no effect?" Tian asked with his head tilted, looking confused.

Xiadie frowned, her eyes full of confusion, "How could this happen? This shouldn't be..."

Just when everyone was full of doubts, Mimi suddenly shouted loudly, "Hey, look, over there - something is popping up?" Everyone looked in the direction Mimi pointed, and saw something faintly glowing emerging from the grass not far away.

"Is this... fairy tree?" Xiadie murmured to herself.

Everyone hurried over there.

As they got closer and saw the glimmering objects, Mimi couldn't help but exclaim, "Fairywood... these little guys have really cute names."

Xiadie didn't say anything, but a hint of solemnity gradually emerged in her eyes.

After observing it carefully for a while, she slowly said, "No, this is not a fairy tree... This is the shadow of a dead fairy tree."

"Dead Dryas..." Mimi repeated, eyes full of surprise.

"Shadow?" Tian also widened his eyes, looking confused.

Xiadie took a deep breath and explained, "They... strictly speaking, are plants. They have gained intelligence due to the blessing of the equality of Sesis, but it is very limited compared to humans. These little guys in front of us are already dead... only a small afterimage of their souls is left. However, this also means that the golden thread is indeed connected to the Titan Manifestation. Without the outline of the golden thread, we will never be able to see them."

"Then...what happened to them? Why are only small shadows left?" Tian asked.

Xiadie looked at Mimi, "Mimi, could you please try to sense the memories they carry?"

Mimi nodded, "Let me give it a try, Mi..Mimi..."

Everyone fell silent, nervously waiting for Mimi's result. Xing couldn't help but urge, "Any explanation? Mimi.. Mimi....."

"Hey, don't join others in exerting force, it's distracting..." Mimi shouted anxiously, with a hint of anger in her voice.

It closed its eyes again and immersed itself in the sensation.

Mimi closed her eyes tightly, and after a long while, she slowly said, "'Black', 'cloak', 'sword', 'towards the tree', well, no more, the memory of them is very vague, there is not even a picture, I can only hear these vague words."

After hearing this, Xiadie's face turned very ugly. "Everyone, I have a bad feeling. The death fog of Senatos... seems to be approaching."

"Oh...Tian will be very vigilant!" Tian clenched his fists, the childishness on his face was replaced by determination, and there was a hint of fearlessness in his eyes.
