Reincarnated in the Alternate World, I'm A Demonic Lord as Well as a Villager
Chapter 77: The Ancient Tree Spirit

Chapter 77: Chapter 77: The Ancient Tree Spirit

The Wisteria Tree Spirit spoke at a very slow pace, and Shami and Lureya, who could understand it, both felt that this voice was indeed very old.

"Good morning."

Lureya was surprised, and slowly walked over.

"Although I don’t know why you brought that skeleton here... but judging by my experience... I assume it’s an experimental subject caught by the elves... it’s better not to interact with it... catching a disease wouldn’t be good... might as well kill it... just don’t bury it under me... cough cough..."

The Old Tree Spirit took a minute to say one sentence.

"Lord Shami! No matter what, I have a bit of a good impression over there with the Tree Spirit, don’t I!"

The skeleton, unwilling to see its few moments of solo adventure glory shattered, got up, supported itself with both hands, and looked at Shami longingly.

"No, not at all." (Emotionless)

"Who are you... black-haired boy... the hair color is off... and doesn’t have pointed ears... doesn’t look like an elf... but yet there’s a faint Natural Affinity on you that only elves have... I’m confused... cough cough..."

"The Elven lady has intense Natural Affinity... but the scent on you is even better... cough cough..."

Shami paused for a moment.

Unexpectedly met a Tree Spirit whose age is unknown. For a Wisteria Tree to grow this tall, it’s definitely an antique.

"Hello..."

"Hello... young man... cough cough..."

"You seem to be coughing continuously, is everything alright..."

"It’s nothing... just the normal daily routine of an old Tree Spirit... cough cough..."

"Very strange... truly strange... even though it’s only a slight Natural Affinity... I feel very close to you..."

This slow and aged tone gave Shami an illusion; if the Tree Spirit in front were a person, it would definitely have half a foot in the grave.

"Shami, this Tree Spirit won’t live much longer if we bring it back, right..." the Elf Maiden quietly remarked.

"Don’t say things like that!"

Shami glared at the Elf Maiden.

The other familiar scent the Tree Spirit mentioned should refer to Magic Power. Although Tree Spirits like sunlight and are close to nature, they’re essentially part of the demon race, naturally feeling a kinship with Magic Power.

The Tree Spirit spoke extremely slowly, babbling a lot had already taken a long time.

"Sorry for bothering you, I’d like to ask you for a favor."

"As long as it’s not about the Demon King... if there’s something or something you want to know that you’d like to ask of me... I will consider it..."

The Wisteria Tree Spirit rustled its few leaves at Shami.

Lureya looked at Shami awkwardly.

Shami also looked at Lureya awkwardly.

The forest fell into silence.

It seemed to end just as it began.

"Hmm..."

But this kind of thing can’t be hidden forever, so Shami simply decided to be straightforward.

He opened his palm, touched the tree trunk of the Tree Spirit, and slowly infused it with some Magic Power.

"This is...!"

The tree crown of the maple tree started trembling at a frequency visible to the naked eye, as if blown by a breeze, dropping quite a few yellow leaves.

"You’re going to go bald, Tree Grandpa!"

The elf watched the yellow leaves all over the sky and felt sad.

"This... this is Magic Power... such pure Magic Power..."

The entire Wisteria Tree Spirit spoke, trembled suddenly, the tree crown quivered, and then there was no more movement.

"It’s too late to pretend to be an ordinary tree now."

Shami withdrew his hand.

"Exactly! You’ve already spoken with us, Tree Spirit!"

The blond elf stood behind Shami.

After a while, the voice of the Tree Spirit appeared again.

The voice was still slow but obviously panicked.

"This current Demon King, huh... asking me for something... cough cough..."

"Although I heard the Demon King’s Heir appeared two months ago... but didn’t expect it to look like this... cough cough..."

"However, such pure Magic Power... even with Natural Affinity... what on earth happened... cough cough..."

"Why does the Demon King possess Natural Affinity... that’s something only the Elf Race has... cough cough..."

The blonde girl tilted her head and looked at Shami in confusion.

Indeed, the Elf Maiden also only now realized why Shami had Natural Affinity.

The professor said that the Human Race can acquire the elves’ Natural Affinity, but that requires ○○ with elves to obtain.

Although she often sleeps deeply, Shami hasn’t taken advantage, right!

"Shami, when I was asleep, you didn’t do anything to me, did you?"

The blonde girl tugged at Shami.

"Who would have such thoughts. — She’s my Demon Envoy."

Shami explained to the two, "Under the Demon Envoy Contract, some of our attributes are shared. Her Natural Affinity can come to me through the contract."

"Ah, you freeloaded my ability, Shami!"

The blonde girl protested.

"Stop babbling, didn’t you also enhance your powers? That’s what I gave you from my side. In this world, except for puppy love, nothing is unconditionally offered from one side, right? When you gain something, you also need to give something out!"

"Haha, our relationship is already that close! Feels like clownfish and sea anemones!"

The blonde girl smiled confidently and folded her arms in front of her chest.

Though he didn’t understand how the flat-chested blond derived this conclusion, Shami didn’t argue.

The maple tree’s hesitation gradually faded away.

"Unexpectedly harmonious interactions, Elf and Demon King... A Demon King can actually sign a contract with the Elf Race... Elf Miss... were you caught and then ○○, then ○○ in a secret chamber, used a tool to ○○, and finally ○○○ to integrate?"

"Stop saying such things that will all be censored!"

The blonde girl’s cheeks turned slightly red.

"It wasn’t like that at all! Elf Maidens also whimsically desire new paths occasionally!"

The Elf Maiden concealed the truth of "thinking about ganking the Demon King, but surprisingly getting counter-ganked."

"I know that in Luwaka’s time, Tree Spirits and Demon Kings didn’t get along well, but those are past matters. Luwaka paid with his life for it. As the Demon King, I apologize to the Tree Spirit brethren on behalf of Luwaka. Now I’ve become the Demon King and won’t repeat his path. I now need a powerful helper."

"If you’re willing to come back, I will treat you kindly. Fertile black soil, abundant sunshine, clean water... it will all be there."

Shami looked seriously forward, because not knowing where the Tree Spirit’s face was, he couldn’t help but look up to the canopy. Although this Tree Spirit appears very old, the current situation is one of those rare opportunities.

First draw a big picture to entice this Tree Spirit over.

Once you have a Tree Spirit, future matters become much easier.

Shami’s words moved this Old Tree Spirit.

"I’ve lived over two hundred years... naturally knowing... not to hold a grudge against another because of him..."

"If it were someone else... I might refuse... but seeing that you can sign a contract with elves, I am intrigued..."

Shami secretly glanced at the blonde girl beside him.

Having an elf companion earned approval from the Tree Spirit.

Flat-chested blonde always serves an unexpected purpose in crucial moments.

"But, for a Tree Spirit over two hundred years old... are you sure you still want it, Demon King... cough cough..."

"Don’t worry, this one next to me is already 7..."

Shami gave flat-chested blonde a pat, next moment was gagged.

"Haha... truly a loving pair..."

The leaves of the tree crown slightly rustled, the Old Tree Spirit smiled benevolently.

"We are not a couple!" flat-chested blonde retorted, face blushing.
