"im not sure but i think it is, that was what your father said when i accidentally eavesdrop at their conversation with his assistant, think your father is getting ready if this arden city fall but maybe I'll estimate it more or less about 7 years before it'll be fully down"
"i see, then where's my father?"
Mark said as he was looking at her beautiful face.
"upstairs at his office do you want to go there?"
"no, forget it how about let go outside for a walk?"
Edelina eyes lit up as she was looking forward to it.
"sure! I'll be right back!"
She said while rushing out of his room, mark wanted to know the situation outside of the his tree house, then he took out his cane of life.
The weapon was got back to the inventory when mark notices edelina knocking the door, now he was taking it out, the staff itself was strange, every time he took a hold on it he could feel a sudden feeling of being alive and active, although it was a weak, but it still could gather life energy in it, he then pick up the green hat with a feather on it in the cabinet near the door, he opened the door and got shocked after seeing edelina in the door she was wearing a beautiful dress it was just like what mark wear but different he already saw this dress before it was the commonly wear by women in the bustling streets but unlike those women he sees in the window she was very beautiful than them although mark and edelina was still a kid many will think they will grow suit to each other, in her dress there was a magic stone, it was color blue crystal in hexagonal form it was the same size as the watch on modern earth era, she was wearing a green skirts that look like it was made by leaf but it was no different than the skirts his classmates in halter city school used to wear,
She was also carrying a staff, it was similar to the staff of life but seems radiating a slight golden aura, mark thought it was made by a golden world tree branch though, he didn't know how she got it.
Then she said while smiling.
"lets go"
She grabbed mark hand opened the door using her life energy, as soon as they got out mark was mesmerize by the village beautiful scenary tall trees, the forest was full of vigor, the tree houses was uniquely made he saw some elves was running up, he was amaze by how fast they could climb such tall trees, mark ask while edelina holding his hands looks like she was leading him to somewhere.
"edelina isn't it supposed to be hard to climb tree how come we elf climb it easily?".
"march, it pretty normal we elf has higher agility than human and we elf also live long life, didn't my mother told you last time, when you visited my place last time you also asked mother if how could the elf so fast at climbing"
"sorry i forgot"
Mark replied while sweat leaved his cheek They continued on there ways as edelina guide him into the forest, mark was curious why would they go in the forest he thought they were just visiting the coffee shop and chat there, so he asked.
"Where were we going? "
"to our secret place"
'secret place?' mark don't know what that place but what on mark's mind was an another dangerous place remembered zeldrin who has an ID name 'Rad1-ate' dragged him to his so called secret place he didn't know what it is but it was just a trapped he set for him, he didnt die but mark got the gruesome experience he had in his past life, that's how he understands the concept 'friends share their pain' he didn't want to describe the place because his trauma might emerge in his mind.
The two walk continually mark was on the forest not far from Elriden village, there were variety of trees here and there was many fruit tree that he hasn't found on earth there were also fruit trees that was existed on earth here.
The edelina stopped at the fruit tree with a weird fruit that has a spiral pattern on it like a devil fruit from one piece and its color was as red as an apple.
Edelina stopped holding his hand and she look at him with a smile,
"march, do you want to eat that fruit?"
"sure"
Mark thought it was march favorite fruit since he doesn't want her to grew suspicious so he play along,
Edelina climb up although she wasn't as fast as the adult elf her flexibility makes her way to the top of the where fruit lies, she grabbed one and throw the other one down towards mark, mark quickly grabbed it and check what fruit it is the pop up system window appeared and the item status was recorded to it.
(apline fruit)
(green G food item)
(+1 dex in 10 hrs)
A delicious fruit that could improve your mood anytime.
Mark ate it and felt delighted, he thought in his mind 'I didn't know such a sweet fruit to exist in this world and but why is the name of the fruit weird? I guess never judge a book by its cover' then edelina started hop down the big tree and told mark.
"let's go"
"what? Were not there yet? I thought you just brought me here to eat fruits"
"Well be there"
This time she didn't grabbed him but run a few meters and waved her hand indicating that mark would follow, mark chase after her and she was faster than he thought, mark reached a nearby hill with a blue leafy tree, next to it was edelina waving her hands while smiling, he walk by the hill and reached the tree.
"Is this the place? "
"yes, isn't it beautiful here just like you said previously"
He saw a scenic panorama, the moon light was reflecting to the tree, the tree look like happy, he lean his arm on the blue tree but a slightly sticky blue liquid, he looked at the blue liquid that stick on his hand then a prompt from the system suddenly ring and the usual blue screen appeared.
(Blunear tree mana sap)
(Blue G material item)
(mana efficency +10% per hr )
(effect usage: 10ml)
A sap from a rare tree, a condensed mana that could be use in many ways as an material, it was consumable but the effect doesn't stack.
Mark then thought,
"Blunear tree? System do you have any description"
[YES]
Then the blue screen in a blink the system screen content changed.
(Blunear Tree)
(production rate 1:1) - ratio on month per L
Durability (15/15)
A rare tree that was located at algareth continent, it produces mana sap that was manifested by absorbing moonforce and using life energies to condense moonforce and make it into a liquidated state.
"such tree Existed? "
Mark was flabbergasted by the description, such tree are precious, and it's mana sap, in planar war online even a greater mana potion that cost a lot only has 5% efficiency, but that potion wasn't a normal mana potion that could just restore your mana immediately,
it was a mana potion that helps people who uses meditation techniques to enlarge and expand their mana pool the higher the tier of a mage, the higher the effort they needed to expand their mana pool more.
The bigger the mana pool is, the higher the tier and more powerful the spell they could used, mage are weak at physical combat, but they rely on there spell to defeat their enemy as long as it isn't closed combat they could win except for encountering a ranged combat enemy.
The mages tier was mainly apprentice mage, newbie mage, normal mage, superior mage, grand mage, arch-mage and sage with a sub tier in it just like the plane grading but quite different, it was iron, bronze, silver, gold, platinum, obsidian tier mages also has their corresponding dressing code an apprentice mage wore a color green robe with a badge that was on the side of the chest indicating the sublevels of the mage, although badges wasn't given by the wizards tower the badge was still given to the qualified magus that was recognizes by the system.
Mark then sit while his leg was crossed to each other, edelina also sit beside him leaning while looking at the beautiful scenary unfolding in her eyes, mark started to memorize the meditation manual he read when playing adventure mode in planar war online, he closed his eyes and didn't got distracted by edelina soft skin that was leaning in him and not even her alluring scent affected him much or perhaps the previous owner of the body was already used to sniffing her.
unlike when he met the 'edelina' on his school or confronting his crush that he couldn't resist to blush now to think he was quite immune to it, it might also lead for him to not appreciate women's beauty but it wasn't a problem for him, mark as he closed his eyes.
mark wasn't still in his consciousness, he was still like a normal guy closing his eyes and see the dark.
