"We reached. Welcome to my house." Mr Tree said as he extended his branches and gestured at the mountain wall.
Alvin paused for a while, looking at the mountain wall that was full of flowers.
Just as Alvin wanted to ask where the entrance was, Mr Tree lifted up some vines, revealing a large entrance.
"This way"
Under the lead of Mr Tree, they entered the mountain wall. They passed through a passage and reached a big open space.
Alvin and Charles's eyes widened. Looking from outside it was just an ordinary mountain. Inside, it was actually a big space full of different plants and small monsters.
Alvin saw a firat run to Mr Tree, jump on him and then lick his face.
Firat was a fire element cat. It was known for its fierce damage.
Then, the firat realized there was a wind cat on Mr Tree's branches. The firat bared its teeth at the wind cat, as if jealous that Mr Tree was holding a wind cat. The firat and wind cat started to bare teeth at each other.
"hey, no fighting" Mr Tree tried to stop them from fighting.
Not just the firat, Alvin noticed a lot of cloud monsters ran to Mr Tree as if a pet found out their owner was back.
There were firat, wind cat running on the ground. Thunbear on a tree. Waterfly flying in the air. All of them were cute and adorable.
This was the first time Alvin saw such a harmony place in the spire. All the different cloud monsters lived peacefully together.
Normally, the cloud monsters would attack humans when cloud monsters see them. However, the cloud monsters here didn't even stare at Alvin when they saw Alvin. It was strange.
"No worries I trained them well. They won't attack you guys." Mr Tree said.
"Mr Tree, can i pet this firat?" Charles asked. He found this firat cute.
"Haha, sure."
Charles petted the firat. Surprisingly, the firat was enjoying the petting.
"All the cloud monsters here are good cloud monsters. They won't simply attack people. Let's go" Mr Tree said proudly before walking to a corner.
Following Mr Tree's gaze, they saw a table that was full of books.
Elias took a book and looked at its title. It was a book named 'Language for beginners'.
"This is the thing I want to show you." Mr Tree handed Alvin a book.
Alvin took a look at the book. This was a colourful book with a lot of painting and drawing on it. Obviously it was a book for 3 to 4 year old kids.
Alvin flipped through the book and saw some notes written on the book.
"Today I met a tree, a tree that can talk. Amazing"
"The tree and I became good friends. We want to explore the spire together."
"Today I met a cute kid in the spire. He is cute"
"Today I fought with a wind eagle. I won, but I let him go because i found out he got a baby eagle to take care of"
"I started to teach this Mr Tree on having a good manner. It was fun"
A picture of a beautiful lady writing in this book came to Alvin's mind. He could imagine how his mother writing. He could feel the connection with his mother through the writing.
"Your mother wrote this. On and off she will come to the spire to meet me. Alvin, Celestine is a kind girl. For sure she loved you." Mr Tree said gently.
"Thank you so much, Mr Tree. Can I have this book?" Alvin said.
"Ya, sure. It belongs to your mother" Mr Tree said. Mr Tree paused for a moment and said."I have some gifts for you guys"
"Icesquir" Mr Tree turned his head and called.
They saw an ice squirrel ran and stopped in front of them.
"Go get three fruit for our friends" Mr Tree petted its head.
Then, Alvin saw the squirrel climbed to a tall tree and picked some fruit on it. Then, the squirrel brought back three fruits.
The fruit was in purple colour. There were some mysterious red line on it.
All of them widened their eyes.
"The Life Fruit?" Alvin murmured. He was stunned for a moment. This was one of the famous fruit in the world. It was worth 10000 dollars outside. This life fruit had the effect of smoothing the cloud cultivation process and healing any hidden injury in one's body.
Alvin raised his head and saw there was still some life fruit hanging on the tree. Obviously, Mr Tree had a lot of this fruit.
"This is yours" Mr Tree handed Alvin and Charles a life fruit.
"Mr Tree, this is too precious. We cannot take it." Alvin said with a serious tones. Although he really want the Life Fruit, he knew that they shoudn't take it.
"Haha. When your mother saved me, she risked her own life also. And this was just a fruit that I have a lot."
Elias gazed at Mr Tree, then Elias gave himself a self deprecating smile.
"Why are you so kind?" Alvin asked
"Haha. We are friends" Mr Tree.
When Mr Tree passed the life fruit to Elias, he gazed at Elias and said. "Although this fruit cannot help with your pois..."
"Understand, no need. Thank you so much." Elias smiled and said. He didn't let Mr Tree finish his words.
Mr Tree paused for a moment, looked at Elias and then looked at Alvin and Charles. He understood that Elias didn't want them to know about the poison in his body.
"This can give you life energy." Mr Tree nodded and said.
Elias shook his head.
"Understand. I know that there is a special fruit in the flora spire that maybe can help with your condition. It is called Six Elemental Fruit. You can try your luck there. "
"Thanks" Elias smiled casually.
It was almost 5 pm. It was time for them to leave.
Under the help of Mr Tree, they reached the spire's entrance easily.
Before they left, Mr Tree passed Alvin a flute that was made of tree branches.
"This is a flute. You can blow it if you want to find me. See you." Mr Tree waved his branches at them.
"See you Mr Tree. I will visit you often." Alvin said.
Seeing they left, Mr Tree smiled, petting his wind cat.
