Above the mage

Chapter 196 Tree Species

Godd, who had originally intended to learn about Flora's origins and abilities by inquiring about her race, ultimately abandoned the idea.

In any case, Flora was a familiar he found based on the description of her as "a friendly, high-potential 1st-level creature".

Assuming the spell works correctly, God believed that Flora's abilities were definitely extraordinary.

He thought about it and decided to ask directly.

"Lady Flora, may I ask what you can do?"

"I can plant trees."

"Besides this?"

"I can grow flowers and grass too."

"That's it?"

"Isn't that enough?" Flora counted; there were three in total.

"That's enough," Gao De said after a moment of silence, then asked, "How old is Lady Flora?"

Potential often needs time to be realized; even a tiger, once born, is just a "kitten."

"It's so big."

"How big is 'big'?"

"The white flowers in the forest have bloomed several times already."

"Where is Lady Flora's mother?" Godd came back to the same question.

What is a mother?

"The person who gave birth to you."

"Lady Flora has no mother," Lady Flora said earnestly. "I wasn't born."

Gao De nodded. "So how did you get out?"

"That's how I came out. I was already out the moment I opened my eyes."

High German.

After a while, Lady Flora flapped her little wings and scurried up to God's face.

"Master," she called out.

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

"I also have a question for you."

"Go ahead and ask."

"What are your skills?"

"I know a lot."

"for example?"

"Cast the spell." Gao De snapped his fingers, and a small image similar to Flora appeared before the two of them.

[Magic tricks].

"!"

"I will also plant trees."

"!!"

"I can grow flowers too."

"!!!"

"Of course I can also recommend plants."

"You're so smart!!!!" Flora stared wide-eyed at Gao De, utterly impressed. "You know everything I do!"

"So Lady Flora is also very clever." God understood what she meant.

Flora, even more satisfied, stared intently at Gao De.

"Why is Lady Flora staring at me like that?"

"Master, you just promised to help me plant a tree."

"Yes, I promise you. What kind of tree does Lady Flora wish to plant?"

"Plant this." Without Flora making any rummaging in her pocket, a flat, dark brown, oval seed appeared in her palm.

The edges of the seed are slightly angular, and the surface is covered with a thin seed coat.

"Is this a white ash tree?" Gaode searched the knowledge base and quickly found out the variety of the seed.

"It's not an ash tree, it's called Yugathira," Flora corrected.

"This is the seed of my life."

"What does 'seed of life' mean?"

"When it grows up, I grow up too; when it dies, I die too."

"!! Isn't that incredibly dangerous!" Gao De had never heard of any creature's life being bound to a tree species.

"Yes, but as long as you plant it and wait for it to grow, it won't be so dangerous."

Why?

"It will protect itself."

"How do we protect it?"

"Any hostile creature that gets close will be turned into a motionless piece of wood by Yugathira. Yugathira is much more powerful than Lady Flora."

"You mean that once Yugathira grows up, it will automatically recognize and attack hostile creatures?"

"Yes."

As if struck by a thought, Gao De remained silent for a moment before asking, "How many years can Yugathira live?"

"Many years."

"Many...how many years? Lady Flora, could you be more specific?"

"A lot" simply means a lot; it's already quite specific.

"Master, you're not smart."

Gao De stared at the Yugathishira Seed in Flora's hand for a long time.

"So how do you plant it?"

"You have to help me find a very, very big piece of land."

"Does it need to be a sacred site?"

"What is a sacred site?"

"It is a land imbued with rich magic."

"No need. Yugathira will continuously absorb magic power on its own, and it can also turn the surrounding land into the spiritual land you mentioned."

"Turn the land into a sacred place," Gao De repeated. Flora didn't know what this meant, but she understood.

"Is a large plot of land all you need? Are there any other requirements? For example, humidity, soil type, temperature?" Gaode further confirmed.

"No need, Yugathira can grow in any soil, and it will slowly transform the soil into fertile soil."

"The more trees there are around Yugathira, the faster it grows."

"So you have to help me find a very, very big piece of land, so that I can plant many, many more trees next to Yugathira and make them grow faster."

"Lady Flora is very good at planting trees, so you just need to help me find a very, very large piece of land."

"Also, Yoggathira is very fragile when it is first planted, mage. You must protect it with me until the sapling grows."

"How long does it take for it to grow into a sapling?"

"The moon must rise and set 360 times."

"Three hundred and sixty days a year." Gao De understood.

He thought it over and over, and finally asked, "I want to make Yugathira my sacred relic. Would Lady Flora agree?"

"What is a sacred object?"

"It's one of the most important things to me. I will do everything I can to help it grow, but at the same time, I will take away 10% of its lifespan."

"How much is 10%?"

"This is all," Gao De said, stretching out both hands and then raising one index finger. "This is one-tenth."

"Is there anything else?"

"there is none left."

"What do you need this tenth of your lifespan for?"

"To make myself live longer."

"How long can you live?"

"Right now, I could live through 54,000 moonrises and sunsets."

"This little bit?!" Flora was startled, then looked at God with a sympathetic gaze.

"That's fine, otherwise you'd be too pitiful, mage."

"Thank you, Lady Flora."

"You're welcome. Lady Flora agreed to be your pet."

Time comes and the world has the same force, and it is not free to transport heroes.

The words from his past life popped into Gao De's mind.

Because he remembered the "Azure Wood Longevity Sutra".

A tree species that has no requirements for growing conditions, possesses self-protection capabilities after being planted, and can even transform the land into a sacred place.

What plant could be more suitable as a sacred object for the "Azure Wood Longevity Sutra"?

It's like a pillow being delivered to someone who's sleepy.

Originally, due to the various hidden conditions and limitations of the "Green Wood Longevity Scripture," the virtuous monk who was prepared to give up this method of cultivation suddenly felt that a new path had opened up before him.

Longevity, accelerated spiritual practice, and increased mental strength.

With its three amazing effects, no one can resist it.

Just

A very, very large area.

That definitely wouldn't work in the academy.

He wasn't some noble lord with fiefdoms.

Fortunately, there is plenty of undeveloped land in this world.

Find a deserted place to plant trees!
