…

"Seed of the Tree Spirit?"

"Diamond Grade?!"

Jiang Li's pupils trembled.

This seemingly ancient seed pendant was actually a Diamond Grade item!

"Summon the Tree Spirit..."

"Healing ability and teleportation ability... Hiss!"

Jiang Li continued reading and was immediately startled by the detailed description.

Teleporting directly to the location of the Elf Mother Tree... The Elf Mother Tree! This is the core location upon which the Elf Clan relies for survival, the most important one without exception. Countless elves are born from the Mother Tree; it is not an exaggeration to call it the origin of their race.

Yet this inconspicuous little seed in front of him could allow him to teleport directly to such an important place.

If such a seed fell into the hands of someone with ill intent, the result was obvious; it would be equivalent to exposing their main base directly, with no defensive measures set up at all.

"The token of the Elf Clan..."

"The friendship of the entire Elf Clan..."

Seeing this,

Jiang Li instinctively looked up, only to see Fiona with a gentle smile on her face.

"This..." Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Isn't this too precious?"

Fiona shook her head: "The Seed of the Tree Spirit is most suitable for you."

"You, who saved me and many companions, undoubtedly possess the qualification."

"And..."

"You must have helped us more than just this, right? That Leaf of Life that released endless purifying power, and also, I sensed a familiar aura on you," Fiona said.

"Hmm..."

Jiang Li nodded: "I once met Augustus... and accepted his commission."

"Augustus..." Fiona's eyes flickered, "What a familiar name..."

"Familiar?" Jiang Li was puzzled.

"Yes." Fiona looked nostalgic. "Augustus and I are elves of the same generation. During the Abyss War back then, we even fought side by side. Unfortunately, he went missing later..."

"Where did he go?" Fiona asked.

"Just like you, he was forcibly conscripted into a dungeon... as a Lich." Jiang Li described it briefly. "In his last moment of clarity, he entrusted me with one thing."

"A Lich, huh? He ultimately walked that path after all."

Fiona lowered her head, silent for a brief moment, then raised it again: "Back then, Augustus left the Elf Forest for thirty years. During that time, he hunted and captured over a hundred Liches, but failed to obtain the result he wanted."

"Therefore, when he proposed transforming himself into a Lich... he faced strong opposition from all the elders. The Elf Queen personally intervened and imprisoned him within the Mother Tree, but she did not expect that Augustus's strength at that time far exceeded the past, and he escaped with ease."

"After that, a long time passed. Over hundreds of years, I have grown from a newly adult elf into the elder I am now, yet I have never heard any news of Augustus."

"It seems he must have succeeded." Fiona seemed happy for Augustus. "The miraculous power that can only be born between life and death... to master such power is indeed a miracle."

Jiang Li was somewhat surprised by the information Fiona possessed, seeing Augustus transform into a Lich

"So..."

"Just accept the Seed of the Tree Spirit."

At this moment, Fiona changed her tone, smiling as she handed the Seed of the Tree Spirit over again.

"If you wish to fulfill Augustus's request, you will inevitably have to enter the Elf Forest, right? The Elf Forest is very difficult to enter before an elf acts as a guide..."

"That... well, alright."

Since Fiona had said so,

Jiang Li felt it was improper to refuse again, and took the Seed of the Tree Spirit.

However.

Looking at the Seed of the Tree Spirit in his hand.
