Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Chapter 435: Stirring Louzi

“It’s amazing…”

Hannah murmured as she looked up at the huge palace complex in front of her. In the heart of such a deep mountain range, there was a magnificent palace that seemed to exist only in mythology. The stone pillars that reached the sky, the arches and stone carvings made of special crystals... Obviously, these dwarves were so small in stature, but they were so fond of such a magnificent architectural style. Hannah's eyes were almost attracted by the palace roofs inlaid with glowing minerals. How did they build it? Unbelievable.

“It’s amazing…”

Lilith on the other side also sighed and strayed away from the main group. She could hardly control her steps and instinctively walked to the tree that was said to be grown from the branches of the holy tree. It was obviously a towering tree that could not be surrounded by more than a dozen people, but it was called a small holy tree. Lulu and the others must be very confused, right? Lilith couldn't help but curl her lips when she thought of their expressions just now.

Once, she had a stunning glimpse in the Elf Forest. The brilliant golden light made her burst into tears instantly. Now, she felt her eyes getting wet again. It was really inexplicable.

Although this little sacred tree saved the dwarves' precarious home, the dwarves obviously did not treat it as carefully as the elves. There was nothing else around it except various memorial stone tablets. Everyone had been accustomed to its existence over thousands of years. There was no one guarding it and there were no fences. Yet Lilith walked up to the tree step by step and touched it.

Boom--boom--

Ian, who was standing behind Lilith, saw Lilith's golden hair suddenly dancing wildly without wind. The girl in front of him leaned against the tree and remained silent for a long time.

"Lilith?" At the front of the team, Catherine and Lyrael had already followed the lizard man up the long steps of the palace, but Lilith seemed unaware. Ian walked over to check on his partner. "What's wrong with you?"

"Did you hear it?"

Lilith suddenly turned around, but her hand was still on the tree, unwilling to let go, as if it was sucked in. She didn't know if it was because the tree grew underground and was nourished by the boiling magma underground, although it still looked like bark, it felt a bit like gold and stone, and it was still warm to the touch, just like...

"What?" Ian lowered his head as usual and listened to her carefully.

"It's warm...it seems to have a heartbeat." Lilith said in a daze.

Boom--boom--

Was it the heartbeat or the surging wood element in the little holy tree? Lilith didn't know. She just felt that the huge force was like a drum, hitting her palms and her heart again and again.

Boom--boom--

Even slowly reaching the same frequency as your own heartbeat.

The little holy tree was dancing in the windless ground, and its dark red branches were swaying gently, making a rustling sound that spread so widely that even when Catherine was about to walk into the majestic palace gate, she couldn't help but stop and look back.

"What is she hesitating about?" Leila followed the princess's gaze.

"Let her play for a while, let's get down to business first." Catherine retracted her gaze and continued to climb the stairs with a firm look.

"——Hey, stop playing!" Lucas also walked to the little holy tree, and seeing the two people holding the tree in the same posture, he couldn't help but urged them, "Hurry up, what are you doing?"

"This tree is quite warm..." Lilith murmured.

Ian: "..." The boy didn't say anything. What he touched was clearly as cold as gold and stone, and there was no rhythmic beating.

Seeing this, Lucas also joined in the fun and touched this tree of great significance, and then rolled his eyes generously. Seeing Lilith picking at the bark with a reluctant look, he turned back to look at his teammates who had turned into small black dots, and hurried forward to pick at Lilith's hands, "Alright, alright, I've never been to a palace in my life!"

"If you want to go, no one's stopping you." Lilith refused to let go, digging her fingers into the cracks in the bark and holding on tighter.

"Please spare me. If I don't follow you, Miss Leila will not be happy with me." Lucas was so anxious, but he didn't dare to abandon Lilith. He tried to pull her hand off the "big gecko" from the small sacred tree. "I want to go to the palace! I want to see the king! Oh! Maybe there will be a welcome party——"

As the two of them struggled in front of the sacred tree, they heard a "click" sound and three simultaneous gasps came from under the tree.

“You you you you you——!”

Lilith's eyes widened with a look of panic. Suddenly, a piece of bark the size of a palm as hard as black iron appeared in her hand. It shook several times in her hand like a hot yam before she clenched it.

"No no no no it's not me-!"

Lucas was even more horrified. Could he afford to pay for this? No! It was Lilith who took it off! This woman was as strong as a bull! It had nothing to do with him!

This tree is a witness to the friendship between the elves and the dwarves! Have they made a big mess?! Lilith held the bark tightly and looked around in panic. The dwarves and orcs around her were talking and laughing loudly, and no one noticed what they were doing.

Lilith steadied her heartbeat, pulled Lucas and Ian in front of her, bent down and tremblingly pressed the piece of bark back onto the tree, trying to save the broken tree. However, when she tried to use the little elven magic she knew to repair it, she found that her mental strength was like mud into the sea, and it was completely useless.

Her legs went limp and she turned around and sat down on the spot, pressing her back against the bark and not daring to move.

Ian and Lucas also sat down. The dwarves passing by only saw that those humans who suddenly appeared were now sitting under the small sacred tree with their knees hugged, like children waiting for their parents to pick them up from school.

"Humans are pretty cute after all..." A female lizardman exclaimed as she lay down in front of her counter and looked at the three children over there, "Look at those children, they are so well-behaved."

"What should we do now?" Lucas swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "I definitely can't take the blame for you. I have a mother and sister at home."

Ian on the other side raised his head when he heard this, "How about I come, there's no one at home——"

"Is this something worth comparing?!" Lilith glared at him and pushed him back to sit.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Lucas couldn't help but look at Lilith's back. "Waiting to die?"

"Wait... wait for good news from Catherine." Lilith said dryly, not knowing whether she was talking to Lucas or comforting herself. "If she can form an alliance with the dwarves again, they will definitely forgive this little thing..."

The three of them turned their heads and looked at the towering dwarf palace in the distance.
