Chapter 604: Chapter 408 Mrs. Moose_3 Chapter 604: Chapter 408 Mrs. Moose_3 He knew in his heart that Mrs. Elk must have been aware of his arrival.
Chen Lun took a deep breath, adjusted his hat, and stepped inside.
The grand hall, named “Heart of the Holy Tree” of the Naturalist Sect, was not dim at all; the dome was covered with golden spherical fungi that emitted a bright light.
At the far end of the spacious hall, there was a throne woven from verdant vines.
A woman whose face was obscured rested on the throne, and beneath the throne lay an enormous elk… much larger and with a thicker presence compared to the mount of Priest Olga.
Chen Lun could feel a significant threat from its aura alone, clearly indicating it was a mythical creature!
The elk lay on the ground, squinting as it slept, while the woman on the throne lazily rolled over, resting her chin on her hand as she sized up Chen Lun.
“I’m pleased to meet you, follower of the Cat God, Jack Spett.”
Chen Lun did not dare to raise his head to look directly at her, instead bowing respectfully as he replied:
“I’ve seen Mrs. Elk.”
Mrs. Elk responded indifferently.
Her gaze wandered over Chen Lun, and after a long while, she continued:
“It seems Maggie holds you in high regard… In that case, I should show some acknowledgment.”
Suddenly, Mrs. Elk slightly lifted a finger, and in front of Chen Lun, countless roots sprouted from the ground, forming a simple table.
Three items were placed on it.
A withered seed, a square piece of broken stone, and a letter.
“The seed and stone are gifts for you, and the letter is for you to deliver to Fleurette at the Meteor Tower,” Mrs. Elk said concisely.
Chen Lun immediately realized.
Her asking him to deliver the letter was actually a way to help him… as this was indirectly increasing his “importance,” which would make it more likely for Fleurette to meet with him when he arrived at the Meteor Tower.
Chen Lun silently pondered Mrs. Elk’s intentions while also silently accepting her kindness.
“Thank you for your gifts, I will deliver the letter to the Meteor Tower as soon as possible,” he said respectfully, touching his chest towards the woman on the throne.
Immediately afterward, Chen Lun first carefully put away the letter on the table before picking up the seed and the stone. A prompt popped up on the panel, the former being a high-grade token from the Naturalist Sect, and the latter an integral part of the “Destiny Stele!”
‘Back in Peacock City, I obtained several pieces of the Destiny Stele from the Simon Family’s museum. Intuition told me it was important, but assembling the complete stele seemed very challenging… I never expected to get such a large piece here.’
The stele fragment in Chen Lun’s hand was as big as two human heads, and it was covered in much writing, which pleased him immensely.
He estimated that the pieces of the Destiny Stele he now had amounted to nearly half the size of the original… he shouldn’t be far from completing the entire stele.
However, where the remaining pieces lay, he had no idea, and even divination was minimally effective… It seemed the stele itself had a strong Mysterious Resistance, capable of shielding against divination detection.
Chen Lun planned to attempt using divination to find them after he had advanced to a higher position.
As he held the seed in his palm, however, something unexpected happened.
The dried-up seed suddenly burst with life force and drilled into his palm.
Chen Lun felt a slight sting in his palm, and then a tender sprout grew from it.
“Don’t worry, it won’t hurt you… This is the highest standard token from the Naturalist Sect, rare because it was born from the Holy Tree and can establish a mysterious connection with the Holy Tree,” Mrs. Elk explained calmly when she saw Chen Lun frown slightly.
Chen Lun looked up at Mrs. Elk in surprise, then calmed himself down to sense the message transmitted by the tender sprout in his palm.
[You have established a connection with the “Holy Tree,” and Mrs. Elk Aisha’s Affection towards you has increased! Currently Friendly!]
[Mother Nature Mia Meiwei has noticed you, and Her Affection towards you has increased! Currently Friendly!]
[You have earned the esteemed title from Mother Nature Mia Meiwei!]
‘You are the mother of all creatures, nurturing the countless Holy Trees.
You are the essence of Life, the initial point of every living being.
You are the pillar of the world, the great tree goddess Mia Meiwei…’
