Chapter 1075: Chapter 493: Races That Counter Each Other_2

"But really, when it comes down to it, your Sky City is powered by God’s Corpse, so the Bitter Garden would presumably need something of a similar caliber as its power source. What could that be... Who was in charge of the Bitter Garden at that time... Nope, it’s been too long, I can’t remember..." The Lamp God muttered to itself, trying hard to recall, but unfortunately, it couldn’t remember anything useful in the end.

Mu You had no choice but to give up and return to the game. Since asking the Lamp God had yielded no results, it would be better to simply go and see this ’Dark Cavern’ for themselves.

Moreover, the future Saintess seemed to have disappeared here, and his instincts told him that this place was very likely the key to solving this current mission.

However, before setting off, he still prepared to meet that old woman who had been so aggressive towards them earlier.

She had seen through their identities as Fools at a glance and had reacted so emotionally; obviously, she must know something.

Normally, on enemy territory, he would be the one to flee, but Fuya’s actions just now had indeed inspired him. Sometimes, there’s no need to be so by-the-book.

Half an hour later, in Mu You’s game.

[Tina passed by outside the door, circled around nearby for a few rounds to make sure no one was following, and then hurriedly waved to the darkness behind her.]

[The Watchman, with an unconscious woman on his shoulder, walked out of the darkness, quickly entered a civilian house, and put down the elderly woman on his shoulder.]

["Sigh, I’m a pacifist, you know. Such immoral acts really should be carried out by Number Two..." The Watchman murmured, feeling guilty as he looked at the unconscious woman on the ground.]

["Stop blabbering! How can a big man be fussier than a woman? Tina doesn’t want her kin to be someone indecisive!" Tina, with her hands on her hips, glared at the Watchman discontentedly.]

Mu You watched the prompts in the game and smiled to himself.

He had just arranged for the Watchman to follow Tina to kidnap this woman.

Turning a double agent, especially one holding significant authority, an act which would normally have been near impossible, like kidnapping a high-ranking official of the Fairy Kingdom, suddenly became much simpler.

At first, Mu You was worried that Tina might be reluctant to engage in such internal strife, but it turned out that he was overthinking it. When he proposed the kidnapping plan, the Fairy Saintess had even shown a hint of anticipation and immediately agreed to take the Watchman and set off.

In just half an hour, using her identity as the Saintess, she had openly entered the old woman’s estate, knocked her out, and kidnapped her, without raising any suspicions from start to finish.

As for the identity of this woman, he had already heard an explanation from the young fairy: Ormedo, said to be a former contract kin of the Fairy King, who has lived in the Bitter Garden for over three thousand years, making her the oldest human there, bar none.

Furthermore, Ormedo was the only remaining ’Gardener’ in the Fairy Kingdom, in charge of overseeing and cultivating the ’Bitter Mother Tree.’

The Bitter Mother Tree is the sacred tree of the Fairy Clan, its status second only to the Forest Elves’ World Tree because this tree is the birthplace of all fairies.

Fairies don’t have the concept of marrying and bearing children; they aren’t born from a mother’s body but rather ’bud’ from the tree.

The Bitter Mother Tree bears a batch of flower buds every few years, and once these buds fully mature, they will ’bloom,’ revealing the fairy offspring nurtured within.

The role of a ’Gardener’ is to ensure the healthy growth of the Bitter Mother Tree using exquisite cultivation techniques, thus steadily producing a population for the Fairy Race.

It is said that during the prosperous times of the Fairy Race, there were many Gardeners. Under their joint care, the Mother Tree grew rapidly. Unfortunately, as time went by, fewer and fewer humans mastered the art of gardening, until now, only Ormedo remains.

In such a scenario, her status naturally goes without saying. Although she holds no formal position in name, in terms of prestige within the Fairy Kingdom, Ormedo’s is even higher than that of Tina, the Saintess.

[You extend your hand toward the unconscious Ormedo and release Holy Light.]

[Under the soothing warmth of the Holy Light, the elderly human woman’s eyelashes twitch, and she slowly opens her eyes.]

[On awakening, Ormedo instinctively clutched her swollen head and glanced around, quickly realizing something, and hastily retreated against the wall, looking at you warily: "Fools, it’s really you, what exactly do you want to do?"]

["What do you know about the Fools?" you ask.]

[Ormedo, however, ignored you, sweeping her gaze across each of you in turn, with her eyes finally resting on Tina.]

[Seeing Tina stand with you, Ormedo’s face turned red and white with anger, "Saintess Tina, do you know what you’re doing? Why would you stoop to consort with these Fools? Do you wish to betray your own race?"]

[Faced with the old woman’s questioning, Tina just gave a contemptuous laugh: "Heh, of course, Tina is loyal to the Fairy Race, but your old-fashioned thoughts are outdated. Tina is just saving the Fairy Race in her own way."]

["Saintess Tina, you must have been deceived by these foreigners. Don’t believe them, they’ll only bring disaster upon us!" the old woman earnestly advised.]

["Foreigners? Ormedo, have you forgotten that you yourself are also a foreigner?" Tina retorted with a cold laugh.]
