Sixth Ring Wizard

Herag previously couldn't find a suitable opportunity to enter the Black Space, as disappearing suddenly in crowded places always posed some risks.

To be cautious, he had never entered the Black Space.

Now, in the wilderness with no one around, there was no need to worry about these issues.

Upon entering the Black Space, Herag saw a wooden house in the distance, from which came the sound of a harp, pleasant and elegant.

That White Deer lay on the grass outside the wooden house, seemingly quietly listening to the music.

When it saw Herag arrive, it gave him a human-like glance, as if Herag had disturbed its enjoyment.

Herag felt that the White Deer seemed more and more like a person, gradually showing some rich human emotions.

He walked slowly to the wooden house, and upon reaching the door, saw Chatiya inside playing a large harp.

Compared to the harp, Chatiya's petite body appeared very small, her fair fingers brushing over the strings, producing beautiful and pleasant music.

Herag stood quietly behind, not disturbing Chatiya, but listened quietly, feeling quite serene inside.

Chatiya naturally noticed Herag's arrival and played even more passionately, wishing to bring him better music.

After a few minutes, Chatiya finished her performance and ran over with her bare, fair feet, jumping into Herag's arms: "Master, how was it? Was it nice?"

"Very nice." Herag said, stroking Chatiya's back.

"Master, have you reached the Elf Plane?" Chatiya asked.

Herag nodded: "Yes, I apologize for not coming in to see you during this time."

"It's okay, Master, you've worked harder than I have." Chatiya said sensibly.

Herag smiled and took out the World Tree Seed, asking: "Do you know what this is?"

"This... feels so familiar and intimate." Chatiya didn't recognize the World Tree Seed but instinctively felt it was very dear to her.

Herag said: "This is the World Tree Seed."

"The World Tree Seed? No wonder it feels like this. How did you get it, Master?" Chatiya realized.

Herag explained the situation in Miracle Valley, and Chatiya looked a bit sad, mourning for the Elf Race and World Tree that had suffered unforeseen mishaps in Miracle Valley.

But she didn't blame Herag, as it wasn't within his power to change those things.

In war, everyone is helpless.

"Chatiya, how much do you know about this World Tree Seed?" Herag asked.

Chatiya said: "I heard the elders in the tribe mention that the World Tree has seeds, but this is the first time I've seen one. The elders once said, the World Tree will not die, even if it withers, it will one day be reborn."

Herag then asked some related questions, but Chatiya knew very little, only some fragments mentioned by the elders.

Chatiya, as a young girl in the Elf Race, hadn't reached the age to know the core secrets of the tribe.

Based on what she said, Herag formed some speculations in his mind.

According to Chatiya, the World Tree cannot die, and even if it did, it would revive.

Herag recalled the lack of success in transplanting the World Tree to the Wizard Plane, where no method seemed to allow it to survive.

There's speculation that the World Tree committed suicide, unwilling to live on the Wizard Plane.

Relating this to the seed from Miracle Valley, Herag had some ideas.

He speculated that the World Tree was transplanted to the Wizard Plane and, realizing it wasn't the Elf Plane, chose to self-destruct.

The manner of its death isn't clear, likely an innate talent of the World Tree.

After the World Tree's self-destruction, it transformed into a seed, appearing in the multi-layered space of Miracle Valley.

When the Elf Royal Family initially investigated, the World Tree probably hadn't died yet, so there was no seed.

Only after the World Tree's self-destruction did the seed appear.

With Herag's arrival, his bloodline mark of the Elf Royal Family established some connection with the seed, leading to recent events.

Herag originally assumed the Elf Race should have a way to retrieve these seeds, but it appears this is not the case.

He realized the Elf Race lives by relying on the World Tree, meaning the growth location of the World Tree likely isn't chosen by the Elf Race.

Wherever the World Tree grows, the Elf Race settles and thrives.

If they could control the World Tree's seed, they could choose where to live.

Currently, however, it seems the World Tree decides where it grows.

Had it not been for the Toad Space Rules expertise in extracting the seed from the layered spaces, Herag wouldn't have found it.

Normally, it would take many years for the World Tree seed to sprout and root in the layers of space, eventually growing into a towering tree.

Herag obtaining the World Tree Seed was entirely due to various coincidences and opportunities.

"Chatiya, you'll be able to go home soon." Herag said with a smile.

Chatiya looked up joyfully but then felt a hint of sadness seeing Herag.

"What's wrong? You're going home but not happy." Herag said.

Chatiya lowered her head: "When I go home, does that mean you'll leave, Master?"

"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, after taking you back to the World Mother Tree, I will leave for a while." Herag said.

He needed to figure out if the changes in the Elf Plane were instigated by another group of Wizard Influence.

If so, what were the relationships between this Wizard Influence and the Elf Race.

Their actions against Parker, did it imply a friendly relationship between this Wizard Influence and the Elf Race?

If they were friendly, it's important to determine if these Wizard Influences have animosity towards people from the Wizard Plane.

Only by resolving these issues, can he confidently place those close to him on the Elf Plane and consider it a secure fallback.

To clarify these matters, directly asking the Elf Royal Family at the World Mother Tree is the most straightforward, as they likely know the answers.

If Herag went himself, he would learn nothing, seen as an Evil Wizard and killed outright.

Although he could activate his bloodline mark to take on an elf appearance, that wouldn't work at the World Mother Tree, it might deceive elves in remote regions like Miracle Valley.

For Herag to visit the World Mother Tree, he would have to rely on Chatiya's help.
