Novel Bin Chapter 303 Stealing From Another World?
Blake soon recalled his drones. And put a barrier made with condensed mana around the tear in space. Then with Pue in his arms, he left with everyone else to return back to the city. Blake called for Lillia to come to the medical bay, and after a quick check up from Dr. Stanley, Lillia finally arrived. "What did you need me for….. This is?"
Lillia walked over and looked at Pue, who was holding on to Blake with curiosity. "She is from the void?"
"Mmm… her parents kicked her aside and were abandoning her from what I could tell, or they were trying to save her. I will tell you more in detail later. But for now, can you check her? I am not sure how old she truly is or if she is sick or not. Dr. Stanley gave her a clean bill of health, but he is also not trained to diagnose Pue\'s race."
"Hmm…." Lillia sat down next to Blake and reached out to touch Pue\'s head. Pue went to bat her hand away like she did the rest but found a bit of pressure weighing down on her causing her to think twice before angering this woman. Lillia was not trying to be mean but just trying to make sure the little girl knew not to mess around. With her hand on Pue\'s head, she peeked inside her from top to bottom before pulling her hand away. "A Taliaran. I knew I recognized the skin tone."
"A Taliaran? You have met her race before?" Blake asked. He did not expect Lillia to have met such a race before.
"Not personally. I have read and heard about them. They were a race from a void that opened up in the past, but they were killed off by the dragonic. They were seen as useless by them and wiped out the entire clan of five hundred. All because they could not use magic…. They are actually a very long lived race. But they still grow normally until the age of twenty. It is then that their growth slows by like ninety percent." Lillia explained. "But to think another void to their lands would open again."
"I blocked it off with a barrier, so even if someone or something does come there, it will be trapped within the barrier. I also had Bret station some men nearby to keep an eye on it in case Pue\'s race comes through it. I did not want to seal it off completely just in case there were some refugees. That world…. It looks like it is about to collapse altogether. There is a huge tree there that looks like a tree of life protecting what seems to be the last patch of forest on the planet." Blake did not know if the world was truly on the verge of dying or not since he had no way of actually scanning the entire planet, but from what he saw, it did seem that way.
"Did you say tree of life!?" Noa\'s voice came from outside as she ran into the room. "Can I see this tree!?"
"You can, but I do not recommend going there," Blake replied. He did not think it would be safe to really go to this place.
"If there really is a tree of life there, we need to get it! " Noa was very firm on this as she looked at Blake with determination in her eyes. "I will go by myself if I need to. That tree of life could possibly help our city grow beyond what you can imagine."
"Noa is right… From the ancient texts, there was a legend that this world once had a tree of life as well. It took root and rose high into the sky. It gives birth to a fruit called the fruit of life. It is said to give miraculous powers and can even revive the dead." Lillia stopped and pondered for a moment. "I can go with you and hold the void open from the other side. If I use magic on that side of the void, the dragonic will not be able to detect me. I can keep the void open for a week at most from the other side. We will need to take a look to confirm things closely. If it truly is a tree of life, we can take the entire land it is protecting with us. I will have to expend a great deal of power, but it should be possible. But protecting it once we get it here is another story…."
"What do you mean?" Blake was confused. He understood why someone would want the tree of life for its fruit but not why they would need to protect it if they somehow kept it hidden.
"The tree of life is sought after by all races. The elves, the dwarves, the dragonic, you name it, they will want it because, besides its ability to give the fruit of life, it also has two more purposes. Generating mana and providing a natural barrier around the land. A natural barrier is not easy to break, and probably only the ancestors of the dragonic and the ancestors of the elves could do it." Lillia replied.
"Then I guess we will need to use a massive illusion spell to keep it out of people\'s view, no?" Blake did not know if it would work, but it was at least an idea.
"With an illusion spell and a few of my barriers, we may be able to keep it hidden long enough to grow strong to protect it from those old guys. But to get it here, I will need to secure it into a pocket space to transport it through the void. But we will only have an hour from the time it enters my pocket space to get back to our world and plant it. This means all preparations must be done and done quickly before we get back." Lillia had countermeasures they could use for many things, but it would still need to be handled in a certain way.
