Fantasia of the Sky

Chapter 3 The Village in the Mist 3
"Ah, um, the weather is nice today, ahaha, ahaha..." Huanmeng turned her head to the side, pretending to look at the sky, not daring to look at Hanjiang.

"Yes, the weather is good!" Phil said angrily, "Then you are still sleeping here!"

"The weather is so nice..." Huanmeng rubbed the corner of her clothes with her hand, "Of course I need to sleep a little longer..."

Huanmeng, who knew she was wrong, didn't dare to look at the eyes of the two of them, she was so nervous that she was almost sweating.

Hanjiang kept staring at Huanmeng and didn't say much.

"Look at you, you know how to sleep late every day!" Phil said, putting his hand on Huanmeng's shoulder, "How can you fulfill your responsibility as a 'guardian' like this! You have to be like your sister!"

Phil said with an expression of resentment, while patting Huanmeng on the shoulder.

"Sister... how could she be as good as sister." Hua Meng looked at the distant sky, "Sister has been away for a long time... I don't know when she will come back."

"I will definitely come back! You have to work hard with her as your goal!"

Phil knew that every time Huanmeng's sister was mentioned, Huanmeng's mood would drop.

Although this is also one of the most effective means to make Huameng give up being lazy.

The "Guardian" is a life form that appears every once in a while in this village, and its appearance is almost indistinguishable from that of a human.Or hundreds of years, or decades, there may be new guardians.The places where they appear are all near the Dream Tree, and they are considered to have an inseparable relationship with the Dream Tree.In fact, it is true.

The biggest difference from ordinary people is that guardians are born with much stronger magic power than ordinary people, and can master magic very easily.

In Alfred Continent, although the number of people who can use magic is many times higher than that of the continents on the surface, there are very few people who are proficient in magic since they were born... ah no, since they appeared .

Their duties can be summed up as protecting the towering ancient tree called the "Dream Tree" in the deepest part of the village.

Well, in fact, it is not so correct to say "protection", because the Dream Tree itself has extremely powerful protection power, even ferocious wild beasts or monsters cannot harm the Dream Tree in the slightest.

More responsibilities of the guardians are to collect "dream crystals" and "sacrifice" to the dream tree.

"Crystal of Dreams" is a kind of gemstone specially produced in the floating continent Alfred.

This kind of stone is not very rare...in the continent of Alfred.However, in the lower realm, this kind of gem has never appeared.

The magic power of Alfred Continent is extremely abundant, allowing people to use magic freely.But the magic power of the lower realm is extremely thin.People traveling up and down accidentally discovered that if the dream crystallization is brought to the lower realm, it can release a large amount of magic power through "sublimation", allowing people to temporarily use magic freely in the lower realm.The crystallization of dreams soon became an extremely valuable resource for the lower world.The ruler of Alfred Continent promulgated a decree that the royal family monopolizes the transaction of dream crystals in the lower realm, and bringing the dream crystals to the lower realm without permission will be severely punished.Since there are only a few "floating air ports" that can connect the upper and lower realms and they are completely under the control of the royal family, the dream crystals that are not uncommon on the floating continent are basically sold to the lower realm at extremely high prices.That is [-] meters high, and it is not a place where peddlers who want to make a fortune can come and go freely.For the residents of Alfred, they can sell the dream crystals they picked up to the royal family at a low price, or collect them themselves.The royal family has obtained huge profits from the transactions with the lower realm, and has enough funds to improve people's lives. The Alfred Continent has always been a thriving scene.

For Guardians, this gem is the object of collection.Every guardian in the past would collect some, and then dedicate it to the Dream Tree through sacrifices.

But this Guardian is a bit lazy.
