I touch the trunk of the spirit tree. It feels a little warm. I look up. I wonder if the light I feel here and there is all spirits. Frene said that I could save these children by putting my magical power into them. I wonder if it is really possible. But I want to save them.
That is why I put my magical power into them.
After the battle with the monster, I can't say that my magical power has recovered, but it's something only I can do.
The magic power drained out of my body.
The moment it left my body, the spirit tree lit up. At the same time as it emitted a large light, the part I was touching with my hand lost all sensation. I was almost falling because I had almost no magic power left in me.
I was so shocked that I almost collapsed.
It was Gaius who supported me.
With Gaius supporting me, I looked in front of me. There was no spirit tree in front of me. However, some sparkling things were falling. I reached for it. It was a small tree sapling. One with a few leaves on it. It was, upon closer inspection, very shiny. The other two things I couldn't get were collected by Reimer and Lilja. A huge spirit tree turned into a small sapling? To be honest, I'm still not quite sure. Without any strength, I look at Frene.
Just as I was about to address Frenet.
No way, really. ......
"I never thought I would be able to see the moment the spirit tree's dwelling tree was born like this. ......
I heard the elves sounding impressed like that.
This sapling in your hand is what is called a nesting tree of the spirit tree? Three of the things he had said he could do with them were now in his hand. My knowledge of spirits and spirit trees is so limited that I honestly don't know what it all means.
Frenet, what does it mean?
The spirit tree is passed on to the next generation in a state called the spirit tree's abode. The tree has not always been here. The tree has been here because the ancestors of the elves planted the tree here. And after a long time, it became that big. If this tree of spirits had more power, if that demon had not existed, all the elves had to do was to produce a dwelling of the tree of spirits and move on."
The spirit tree is passed down. The tree is passed down from generation to generation. The actuality that the tree is not only a tree, it is also a tree of the spirit tree.
If the tree had power, it would have been able to create its own lodgings by itself. If that demon had not existed, this tree would have had the power to produce the tree of life. ---And it was because the village of elves had lost the lodging tree that things had become so complicated. With the tree, the spirits that reside in the tree would not be extinguished. Thank you, Lelunda. Thank you for saving the spirits.
...... Um, what are you going to do with the tree?
Plant it somewhere. I don't think we should do it here. The magic of this place has already been thrown out of whack by those demons. It is not compatible with the spirit tree, and I think it would be better to plant it in an environment where it can grow more easily.
While Frene and I were having this conversation, I noticed that the spirits that could be sensed near the elves had smoothly entered the tree.
'They are resting in here. The spirits that have just entered the tree should rest for a while and not come out. The other spirits that have been growing in the tree are not fully grown yet, so I don't think they will be coming out for a while. But since they are so compatible with Lelunda, giving them a little magic power might hasten that."
Frene explains such an explanation to me. The spirits that are currently dwelling in the tree will not be able to come out for a while. Sireba also said that it is the time for the spirits to take a rest. Does that mean that all the spirits are resting now? When I asked, Frene told me that the spirits contracted by this elven village were all born around the same time of year. That's why they were on vacation at the same time.
I thought to myself, "...... I see. So we won't be able to see Shireva and the other ...... contracted spirits for a while."
However, Sireba looked at me and said, "Don't look at me like that.
Don't look at me like that. It is enough that we were able to save the ...... genie and the genie tree. On the contrary, we are ...... grateful to Lelunda. And to the others, the beastmen--- Dong and the others, for all their help on this occasion, we thank you."
Sireba says this and bows her head. It is a deep bow. Then, after a moment, she looks up and says.
We were going to sacrifice Lelunda and the others to that monster. And we were going to survive. We were going to protect the spirits. But that demon had stolen the magical power of the spirit tree. In any case, even if we had sacrificed Lelunda and the others, what we would have had would have been destruction. It is unquestionably thanks to Lelunda that we were able to escape from the path of destruction. Because of Lelunda's words, I thought. And this is the place where it all happened. And thanks to Lerunda, I was able to save the Spirit Tree."
I was happy to have such words thrown at me. I was able to be useful, and thinking about that made me glad that I had done my best.
But I was at a loss for words when Sireba said the following words to me.
She said, "--- Just, Lelunda. You are not ...... normal. You made a contract with the spirit of the wind and exercised so much sacred magic,....... Who are you?"
I'm not sure what to do with that," Silva said.
The other people's eyes are on me too.
Gaius, Lan, and Dong. That's the only people who knew that I might be a godchild or even exist. I thought more and more that I might be a godchild during the demon extermination.
That may or may not be true.
"I am..."
I opened my mouth.
----- girl and the spirit tree 2
(The girl, who is probably a godchild, put magic power into the spirit tree. Then she took the tree in her hand.)
