After enclosing Lucas inside the shield, the tree was about to speak. But it noticed something wrong with Lucas. The tree looked at Lucas with narrowed eyes. It was shocked.
"This kid seems to have not awakened properly."
While the tree thought inwardly, Lucas looked at it with a calm expression.
"What is your question?" Hearing Lucas's query, even in such an unfavorable situation, the tree smiled.
"Oh ho ho ho, you are more informative than most, alright. Let's not waste time. I will ask you a riddle. If you answer correctly, I will give you one of my fruits. But if you answer incorrectly, I will take your life. You have three chances. After answering one question, you can leave. But if you choose to continue, then I can still take your life if you give a wrong answer. Also, if you're thinking about leaving, then forget about it because when someone finds me, that person only has two options: first, you answer me correctly and advance in your life with a reward; second, you answer me incorrectly and die in this forest."
After hearing the tree's words, Lucas started smiling inwardly. His heart was already beating wildly inside his chest. With a deep breath, Lucas controlled himself and looked at the tree, nodding. It's not like he has any other option. He has to answer this if he wants to survive in this world.
"I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with the wind. What am I?"
Hearing the riddle, Lucas almost laughed. After seeing the tree's overbearing power, he was actually doubting his decision to face the riddle, but it is quite easy even without the knowledge of the novel. He looked at the tree's face and said, "an echo."
The tree had a smug expression upon hearing Lucas's answer. His smile vanished, and without saying anything, it moved its branch, and the shield around Lucas disappeared.
After the shield disappeared, Lucas finally took a calm breath. With relief, he realized his knowledge was working.
On the other hand, the tree broke one of its fruits with a reluctant expression and gave it to Lucas.
"He is so pathetically weak, but he still answered. Am I that easy?" Seeing the fruit in front of him, Lucas Harley grabbed it with a small smile.
The tree looked at Lucas and spoke grumpily. "Now you can go if you wish, but if you wish to stay and answer the remaining two questions, you will get two more rewards. What do you wish?"
Hearing the tree's words, Lucas hurriedly put the red fruit inside his bag and looked at the tree with seriousness. "I will continue."
"What?" The tree asked, confused. This human is very greedy. Without sparing another second, the tree spoke another riddle. "The more you take, the more you leave behind. What am I?"
"Footsteps." As soon as the tree spoke, Lucas answered it in a heartbeat. The tree looked at Lucas with wide eyes. The answer was correct!
The tree broke another fruit from its branch and handed it to Lucas. Now it had only one fruit left on its branch. "Now you can go, or you can continue. What will you choose?"
"I will continue," Lucas spoke resolutely. Again, a question sounded, and the tree could barely stop itself from smacking Lucas to death.
"Okay, this time I will ask such a question that he will not be able to answer it." "I'm light as a feather, yet the strongest person can't hold me for much longer than a minute. What am I?"
Lucas almost laughed but controlled his laughter because he knew the tree was getting angry. Let's not risk it. "Breath." The tree looked at Lucas with confusion. This boy answered all my questions again. With a reluctant expression, the tree broke its last large fruit and gave it to Lucas.
After breaking its last fruit, a sharp glint flashed through the sky surrounding the whole forest. The tree started disappearing into thin air. The tree looked at Lucas, its expression filled with emotion.
"Goodbye, kid." The moment those words left the tree's mouth, it totally disappeared from the forest like it never existed in the first place.
Lucas looked around the place where the tree originally stood, his lips curved upwards. While looking at the tree's place, there was a flower.
The black-red flower is a rare beauty, with velvety black petals streaked with crimson. Its center glows with a divine light, shimmering gently in the sunlight. Despite its captivating appearance, it emits a sweet and spicy fragrance that draws people near. This flower is not just pretty; it holds ancient magic within, granting those worthy enough to partake in its essence the power to achieve extraordinary feats. It's a symbol of nature's wonders and the mysteries of the divine.
