Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 203 Seven Ancient Tribes
In a not very big valley, a huge willow tree suddenly appeared in front of Moon.

The trunk of the willow tree is so huge that it requires at least ten people to hug it.

The dense willow branches hang down to the ground, like small willow trees rising from the ground.

And around the big willow tree, there is a strange stone spread on the ground, the shape of which resembles some kind of magic circle.

“Is this a magical tree?”

Seeing the strange green energy emanating from the willow tree, Moon knew that the willow tree in front of him was a magical tree.

When he was making his wand, he had planted a magical willow tree and had also seen a similar willow tree in a valley.

That one was also very huge.

However, the branches and leaves of that willow tree were very dense, while the one in front of him not only had withered branches and leaves, but the entire trunk was also pitch black.

However, this scene is exactly the same as what Moon saw in the Mirror of Erised.

"It turns out the magic mirror can really show the future."

Moon once remembered the introduction of the Mirror of Erised in the book: I only show you what your heart desires.

However, at that time Ron always believed that what was shown in the mirror was the future, and now he encountered the big dark willow tree, which could prove Ron's words.

"The spirit tree was actually cursed a long time ago, and the magic circle on the ground was also set up by the priests of the past."

The Great Witch of the Spirit Tree said this as she carefully stepped over the stones on the ground and slowly approached the spirit tree.

"The magic circle was originally intended to allow the spirit tree to grow well, but now the power of the magic circle has been weakening, and we have not been able to control it, so the spirit tree is getting weaker and weaker."

Moon learned about it through the explanation of the Great Wizard of the Spirit Tree.

When the spirit tree was at its peak, it would not only drop hundreds of rune leaves, but would also use willow branches to screen young wizards who might awaken their talents in advance.

But since being entangled by the cursed magic, the ability to identify young wizards has been declining, and fewer and fewer leaves have fallen.

Up to now, there are only seven or eight pieces per year at most.

This is how tribal wizards select children with wizarding talent.

However, this method still has a high chance of error, so all the leaves are often wasted and no child is selected.

While listening to the explanation of the Spirit Tree Wizard, Moon slowly stepped over the magic circle on the ground.

Although he has been studying alchemical runes, he knows that magic circles are made up of runes.

However, this magic circle on the ground left by the previous priest can delay the invasion of the curse and help the spiritual tree recover.

Its level was obviously not low, and Moon was not sure he could help recover it.

That is, after Moon carefully stepped over the magic circle, the spirit tree seemed to sense something.

There were several very thin willow branches swaying back and forth, especially the ones closer to Moon, which swayed more obviously.

"This is... Isn't the spirit tree asleep?"

The Great Wizard of the Spirit Tree keenly observed the strange phenomena of these willow branches.

She found that after Liuzhi touched Moon's shoulder, she snuggled up to him as if she had found a kindred spirit.

Moon had seen something similar happen in the valley of Snow Eagle Mountain.

At that time, the magical willow tree also placed its branches on his body, and then he felt a cheerful and joyful emotion.

The emotion conveyed by the black willow branches in front of him seemed more like a cry for help.

As more and more willow branches wanted to get closer to him, Moon looked at the Spirit Tree Wizard next to him with some reluctance.

"The spirit tree is indeed not asleep, but it is very weak now."

Hearing what Moon said, the Great Wizard of the Spirit Tree seemed to have thought of something, and then lowered his head helplessly.

"I knew that everything I did was in vain. Without the ability of the priests, it would be impossible to repair the magic circle, nor would it be possible to help the spirit tree recover."

According to the tribal wizards, the curse on the spirit tree has become increasingly severe since the death of the last priest of the tribe 300 years ago.

Every subsequent Spirit Tree Wizard tried to find a way to repair the magic circle and maintain the growth of the spirit tree, but the results were minimal.

When it came into the hands of the current Great Spirit Tree Wizard, not only did the spirit tree become increasingly deteriorating, but problems also arose in the wizard inheritance.

Up to now, none of the young wizards have become the Great Wizard, and the Great Wizard of the Spirit Tree is also very old. Without the Great Wizard, the Spirit Tree Tribe may never be able to pray for a leaf again.

"Grandma Witch, please don't be so anxious. Can you tell me the origin of this spirit tree? Was it originally on Xingjin Island, or was it brought here and planted by a former tribal wizard?"

Moon could not empathize with the Spirit Tree Wizard's emotions. He just wanted to help the weak tree in front of him.

However, the Great Wizard of the Spirit Tree seemed to see a glimmer of hope after hearing Moon's voice.

She tried to push away Lu who came to support her, and then quickly walked to Moon's side.

"Why, High Priest, can you save it?"

Seeing the earnest gaze of the Great Wizard of the Spirit Tree, Moon didn't know whether to nod or shake his head.

He tried to comfort the old man in front of him before speaking again.

"Grandma Witch, please don't get excited. If I want to save the spirit tree, I must understand it. So you must tell me the origin of the spirit tree."

"Oh, it's recorded in the tribal stone carvings that the Spirit Tree was the tribe's guardian sacred tree a long time ago. It was first there, and then the tribe came into being. However, the one on Xingjin Island is not the old sacred tree either."

In response to Moon's questioning, the Spirit Tree Wizard told him the origin of the willow tree in front of him.

The wizard war three thousand years ago affected the Old Sacred Tree.

Because of the destruction of the Holy Church, the old holy tree was destroyed.

In the end, the tribesmen only found three saplings and took them away from their homeland.

And this spiritual tree on Xingjin Island has survived from that time until today.

"I see. We already have three saplings. Why not try planting a new spiritual tree?"

Hearing Moon's question, the Star Wizard came out.

"High Priest, after that great war, the tribal priests were deeply afraid of being affected by the Elpers curse, so they split the seven tribes into three, each of which took the sacred sapling and left their ancestral land to live in seclusion."

"Seven tribes?"

Moon asked curiously. He originally thought that there were only three tribes on Xingjin Island.

"Yes, Ice Flame and Snow Mist are heading north, Wind Chant and Mountain Forest are heading south, and the three of us are heading out to sea."

According to the knowledge that the great witch had popularized to Moon, the tribesmen in the past had a very large living range.

It spans the entire continent of Lauses from east to west, which is now the central area of ​​the Maynila Empire.

The Great Wizard Xingmang also said that a tribe was heading south, so they were very likely living in seclusion in the Snow Eagle Mountain.

"Great Witch, I also found a similar willow tree in Snow Eagle Mountain. It is very likely a branch of the old sacred tree."

"Snow Eagle Mountain?"

Hearing Moon's words, the three great wizards were stunned.

"What, is there a problem?"

Moon didn't know why the three great wizards had such expressions, so he asked again.

"We've actually been searching for members from other tribes over the years. Later, I learned through divination that there might be members of our tribe in Snow Eagle Mountain, so I sent out many tribal warriors to explore, but no news came back."

"Is that so? Then will these tribal warriors carry Selma flowers?"

After hearing the explanation from the Great Star Witch, Moon thought of the little witch who had always followed him.

"Of course, going out alone to search for our tribe is inherently dangerous, so we must prepare more hemostatic herbs like Selma flowers."

Moon finally found out who gave Chris Selma the flowers.

But now it seems that he does have a deep connection with the tribesmen.

"High Priest, let's not talk about these herbs for now. Have you seen any tribesmen around the spirit tree?"

After learning that Moon might have seen another spiritual tree, the great wizard Hailan wanted to know the whereabouts of the other tribesmen.

However, Moon's words still made him silent.

"No, it's very desolate there, with only a few small animals."
