Chapter 1862: Section 1863: Field Mission
To improve Tree Spiritâs mood, Angel could only think of the issue with the tea party venue.
"Thatâs not it, Lianna is still insisting on having me carve out a space inside the Eternal Tree, and also connect it with a conduit to the Life Pool to extract scents." Tree Spirit sighed and shook his head. But then quickly added, "However, Nightsever was quite good and didnât jump on Liannaâs topic."
When mentioning Nightsever, Tree Spiritâs eyes lit up.
Angel was almost certain that Tree Spiritâs good mood was somehow related to Nightsever.
"At first, I thought Nightsever would be like Lianna, persuading me to open a tea party space, after all, Lianna was the one who invited Nightsever." Tree Spirit smiled lightly, "But Nightsever didnât do that."
"What did she say?" Angel asked curiously.
"She said that opening a space for a tea party was indeed a bit troublesome and suggested that Lianna need not be so persistent."
Angel: "And then?"
"Lianna didnât agree, so Nightsever said we should each take a step back."
Upon hearing this, Angel felt it was a little odd. Tree Spirit hadnât even taken a step forward, essentially just staying put, so if he stepped back, wouldnât it mean Lianna took a step forward?
Tree Spirit continued, "Nightsever gave a very reasonable suggestion, advising that Lianna and I search for a suitable venue for the tea party, and if we truly couldnât find one, then it wouldnât be too late to create a space."
Angel: "...And then?"
Tree Spirit: "Lianna agreed."
And that was it.
Angel: "..." Is that why youâre in a good mood?
Anyone could see that Nightsever hadnât really done anything. Lianna was certainly not going to find another place for the tea party. Even if Tree Spirit found a good one, Lianna could just say itâs "unsuitable," rendering it all pointless.
It seemed like Nightsever was considering both sides, but she merely broadened the rhetoric, without changing the available options, and still handed over the speaking power to Lianna.
Ultimately, it was Tree Spirit who compromised, not the determined Lianna who was set on creating space.
Angel looked at Tree Spiritâs lingering nostalgic smile and sighed deeply.
Tree Spirit might know Nightseverâs intentions, but Nightseverâs words seemed to consider Tree Spiritâs feelings. Just this tiny bit of minimal touch was received and magnified by Tree Spirit.
At this point, Angel didnât know what to say, so he chose silence... After all, whether or not the exclusive tea party space was created had nothing to do with him. He didnât need to pick a side. Even if he had to, there were no stakes between favoring Lianna or Tree Spiritâin terms of interests, emotions, or safety.
While Angel decided to distance himself from the choices, Tree Spirit suddenly coughed a couple of times, then cautiously asked Angel, "By the way, do you remember the suggestion I made to you earlier?"
Angel was caught off guard and didnât react right away: "What suggestion?"
"Itâs the task we talked about before."
Mentioning the task, Angel immediately understood what Tree Spirit was referring to.
A few days ago, when Angel left Lord Reine, Tree Spirit approached him and offered several suggestions, including one hoping Angel could take on some tasks.
Official Wizards need to give back while enjoying resources. Thatâs what the task quota means.
Because of Angelâs role at the Research and Development Institute, which brought many benefits to the Barbarian Cave, this time he wasnât obligated to handle the task quota. Still, Tree Spirit hoped he would accept some tasks to quell rumors and integrate faster into the Barbarian Caveâs wizard circle.
"Do you recall it now?" Tree Spirit noticed a change in Angelâs expression and quickly asked.
"Yes, I remember now. But why did you suddenly bring up the task, Tree Spirit?"
With utmost gentleness, Tree Spirit said, "I have a task here. Would you be interested? The rewards are quite substantial~"
Angel quietly looked at Tree Spirit: "Is it about the tea party venue?"
Tree Spirit nodded: "Smart."
Angel: "..." It was easy to guess. Tree Spirit brought up the task, clearly hoping Angel would help find a tea party venue.
"So, would you like to take on this task?"
Angel shook his head without hesitation: "Tree Spirit, you should also know that Iâm busy reflecting on myself lately. I donât think I have time for that task."
Tree Spiritâs eyes dimmed. He understood Angelâs situation and could only sigh, "Alright, then Iâll ask someone else."
Angel wanted to tell Tree Spirit that even if he asked others, the task would likely fail... Lianna was resolute and wouldnât change her mind.
Unless a better place could be found.
But such a place was extremely rare.
The tea party was also a place to showcase the power of the Barbarian Cave. What place could be better than inside the Eternal Tree? What could better demonstrate the strength of the Barbarian Cave?
The answer was negative; at least near the Pamiji Plateau, it couldnât be found.
Tree Spirit could probably predict Angelâs thoughts too, but still planned to try, maybe something could be found?
After discussing the tea party matter, Tree Spirit added, "Speaking of which, you havenât told me why you were looking for me?"
Returning to the main topic, Angel immediately composed himself and briefly explained the situation.
"You mean Tizarroâs diary?" Tree Spirit pondered, "I do know of that diary and have seen its contents."
Tree Spiritâs eyes showed a hint of depth: "I know what you want to ask. Itâs about that hidden room, right?"
Angel nodded. As expected, Tree Spirit knew about it.
Tree Spirit: "I donât know much about the hidden room either. Tizarro never mentioned it. I only found out about it later, after he left the Southern Domain and I read the diary."
"Tree Spirit, have you met Tizarro?" Angel realized the answer even before finishing the question, given Tree Spiritâs status, he must have met Tizarro.
Tree Spirit glanced at Angel, but didnât address the question, continuing about the hidden room: "After discovering the hidden room mentioned in the diary, wizards did explore the ruins, but unfortunately found no clues."
"Even Rhein entered the ruins back then and discovered nothing."
"Later, we generally agreed that the so-called hidden room might not exist. The diaryâs mention could have been Tizarroâs casual note."
"If there truly is a hidden room, itâs likely insignificant. If it were special, Tizarro surely would have mentioned it."
