GDK 494: Mission Accomplished
The sudden changes that occurred to Zofi had attracted the attention of every guest in the lounge. When that upper-class lady from the auction house suddenly chased after the ‘Viride Leaf’, the party was even more shocked.
From the moment that ‘Viride Leaf’ flew out from the exploded space ring on Zofi’s left hand, everyone in the lounge was silenced by the miserable shriek Zofi unceasingly let out. Braque only dazed very briefly before he gave Thuram beside him an order. In a deep and low voice, he said, “Go grab it!”
Thuram, without saying a word, immediately chased the ‘Viride Leaf’ as it shot away. He was close behind the upper-class lady.
On one of the roofs outside the manor, Han Shuo was rather dazed for some time. He stared blankly at the ‘Viride Leaf’ as it flew towards him. Everyone in the manor had their sights cast in that direction. Without thinking, Han Shuo realized that Sophie and he were certainly exposed.
“What is going on?” Han Shuo questioned wood elite zombie. The abnormality of the ‘Viride Leaf’ was obviously single-handedly caused by wood elite zombie. Han Shuo did not anticipate that wood elite zombie had such a remarkable ability.
“It, it is flying over by itself!” wood elite zombie replied somewhat unsurely, as though he was very much innocent.
Han Shuo was startled. But shortly after, he recalled of the legends of the five elemental treasures. In the interpretation pertaining to the five elemental treasures that Chu Cang Lan left behind, it did mention that there existed some incredible sensing power between the treasures of the five elements and elite zombies of the five elements. The treasures of the five elements, formed by the accumulation of nourishment in places of extremes for millions and millions of years, not only contained miraculous energies, but also had the ability to select their own masters.
Once this wood attribute treasure, a treasure produced from the place of extreme wood, sensed the homologous aura emanating from wood elite zombie, it took wood elite zombie as the most suitable master for itself. Therefore, it actively broke away from the binding of Zofi’s space ring and flew towards wood elite zombie, the master it had chosen.
“Now I see! Quickly receive it then!” Han Shuo softly said after he figured out what really was happening.
At this moment, the upper-class lady and Thuram were very close to catching up to the wood attribute treasure ‘Viride Leaf’. Moreover, the experts stationed inside the manor noticed the hiding place of Han Shuo and Sophie, and a few of them were gaining on them. The frontmost expert had an unruffled face. He was none other than Sophie’s father, sacred knight Sulo.
Sophie looked on as her father, Sulo, approached closer and closer. The anxiety in her heart was clearly reflected on her face. She pestered, “Hurry! My dad is almost here!”
Under Han Shuo’s command, wood elite zombie was also rather flustered as well. As the ‘Viride Leaf’ had yet to acknowledge him as master, wood elite zombie couldn’t manipulate the ‘Viride Leaf’ when they were separated by such a great distance. The trio could only helplessly look on as that upper-class lady and Thuram gradually pulled closer to the ‘Viride Leaf’.
However, when the ‘Viride Leaf’ flew near to a big tree, a most bizarre transformation took place! The ‘Viride Leaf’ darted and astonishingly, it vanished into the big tree. By the time the upper-class lady and Thuram were finally in front of that big tree, there was not a trail of the ‘Viride Leaf’.
Thuram was startled, with absolutely no clue what was going on. He instinctively withdrew the longsword he wore on himself. It looked as if he was planning to destroy the tree in order to dig out the ‘Viride Leaf’.
“Stop!” At this moment, the upper-class lady reached out her hand and halted Thuram in the act. Under the astounded, puzzled gaze of Thuram, the upper-class lady quickly withdrew a staff which looked like multiple tree roots intertwined with each other, and began reciting an incantation.
As the upper-class lady chanted, the big tree before her started to rustle and tremble as though it were animated. The tree branches constantly wiggled like the tentacles of an octopus, exotic energy filled the big tree in an instant, spurring it to move.
Suddenly, a cry of surprise sounded from among the crowd, “She’s a druid!”
It was only now that those people discovered the real identity of the upper-class lady. Typically, druids of the Druidic Order rarely ever left the forests. It was obviously rare to see an upper-class lady attend a gathering of the privileged class in a sumptuous evening dress to possess the mysterious energy of nature. Hence, it was not until she showcased her ability that the crowd found out her true identity.
The crowd stared with more astonishment in their eyes than ever before. When she completed her incantation, the tree twitched vigorously, but it gradually stopped trembling and soon returned normal.
The upper-class lady let out a gentle sigh. Shaking her head, she said in a very dispirited manner, “It seems that the Druidic Order won’t be able to reclaim the Hand of Goddess!”
