Chapter 39 - ABOUT THE SILVER LOTUS (2/2)
”No, Elder, I'm here to ask you about a certain plant,” he answered.
”What plant?”
”A silver lotus that gives off small silver lights and somehow has the ability to suspend time. Elder, do you know what it's called?”
The Elder's expression immediately turned serious. And Luo Yan was again reminded of that talk they had about the Silent Marsh. The Elder had the same expression then. Seriously, if this guy was not an NPC, he would definitely complain of how big of a pig teammate he was.
”What you just described, I think I read about it in one of the records left by one of the former Elders. It's called the Eternal Lotus, and just like you said, it has the ability to suspend time.”
Eternal Lotus? ”Does it have the ability to suspend the time of a small area?” he asked thinking of the state of the Silent Marsh.
”As long as the area touched the silver lights it produced, then it's possible.”
If the Eternal Lotus had been in that lake the same time period that the dragon appeared, then it had been there for quite a very long time. Long enough that it could suspend the time of the whole if not most of the Silent Marsh. ”If it's destroyed, will the area it affected return to normal?”
”Immediately.”
Luo Yan's thought of destroying the lotus vanished. If its effect on the Silent Marsh vanished, it might really wake up the dragon. ”If someone tries to cut some of its roots, will it wither and die?”
”No. The Eternal Lotus would only die if its core was removed.”
Okay. So that meant he could freely cut the roots that were entangling Filli without the worry that he would accidentaly destroy the lotus. ”Elder, is there any other important information you know about the Eternal Lotus?”
”Its core is a high level material that could be refined and be integrated into a weapon or an accesory.”
That's really an important piece of information. But sadly, Luo Yan couldn't just take that core from the lotus. At least not right now. Maybe he would, once his level was high enough to defeat that dragon.
”Thank you, Elder.”
Luo Yan bid farewell to the Elder and walked out of the yurt. He started walking towards the gate of the village. He planned to go back to the Silent Marsh.
And this time, he would definitely bring Filli back.
