Lesson 26: The Fruit of the Divine Tree
"Your husband?
Sylvia looked up at me worryingly when I regained consciousness.
"How long was I unconscious?
"I'm just talking about a couple of seconds. It wasn't so much that he was unconscious, it was a bit dazed."
If Sylvia, who's been looking closely at me from time to time, says so, I guess she didn't look unconscious.
He should have been in conversation with the Divine Tree Yugdrasil for nearly ten minutes, but in the real world, he said, it was only a flash of events.
In the meantime, my lack of consciousness seemed boisterous because of the short time.
"Details will be explained later. Perhaps there should be a thank you from the Divine Tree for this one...... hmm?
I look up feeling signs overhead as I wander my gaze wondering if there's anything nearby.
Sylvia and the others. I don't think the party members felt it, but the elves, including Mr. Louise, apparently noticed it. They were looking up just like me.
Beyond that, the branches of the Divine Tree had spread.
"That's..."
Someone of the elders squeals.
Immediately afterwards, two things fall from the branches.
It fits perfectly just by falling right in front of me and offering my hand.
"Ma, wait!
"Is this possible?"
He's a human being.
"And two!
The elders are surprised to see what's in my hand.
"Apparently, the tree of God has crusaded the demons that have appeared in the woods."
The gift from the Divine Tree was a round shaped red and luminous fruit.
I guess it means thanksgiving is also a fruit because it's a tree.
Show the two fruits in both hands to a noisy elf for some reason.
"Well, this is the fruit of the Divine Tree I hear rumors about."
"What kind of rumor is that?
Ask Mr. Louise, who shrugged looking at the fruit of the Divine Tree.
"It is said that the Divine Tree will only bear fruit about once every 100 years. At least you've never borne fruit while you're alive."
I checked with the elders and they were nodding, so it seems true.
The fruit of the Divine Tree, which only reaches fruition once every 100 years.
"You're lucky to get two of those precious things."
"Lucky? It's a miracle you can't do that."
An elder who responded to my words grabbed Gassi by my shoulders and came close to my face.
There is something impatient and scary about that look.
"The Divine Tree has been around for a long time, and its fruit is actually to be given to the brave elves found by the Divine Tree on a 100-year basis. Never been given to a human before!
Well, if there is only an elf living around the Divine Tree, then there is also only an elf who can obtain the fruit of the Divine Tree.
Watch the bright fruit again.
"If it's that rare, has anyone eaten it?
fruit that can only be harvested every 100 years.
Besides, there's a good chance that I've only been able to reap one until now because I'm making a fuss just because I got two.
"Only the elders here have ever eaten the fruit of the Divine Tree in their present elves"
"Oh no..."
Didn't you use your elder authority to eat the fruit of the Divine Tree?
Yes, the look on the elders' faces gets worse when I tried to say it.
"That's the other way around. We were not eaten the fruit of the Divine Tree because we were elders, but because we ate the fruit of the Divine Tree we were able to be elders."
"What do you mean?
"Eating the fruit of the Divine Tree will increase your suitability for divinity, and even elves will be able to live up to five times where you can normally only live from 150 to 200 years or so. The elders here are the elves who lived hundreds of years ago."
I can't believe they told me I lived hundreds of years in my apparent twenties or so.
But I can believe a little bit if you say that's because of the Divine Tree.
Anyway, the Divine Tree is one of the systems sent by God thousands of years ago with his own will. Maybe I should have that much privilege.
"... hmm? The aptitude of divinity rises? Then what happens if someone who is completely unfit for divinity eats the fruit of the Divine Tree?
"I don't know..."
By eating the fruit of the Divine Tree, will we be able to attain the same degree of aptitude as ordinary elves?
Or does it not represent any effect at all?
"You mean you won't know until you try? Then let's try it."
I will stop Ira as she tries to take the fruit of the Divine Tree from my hand.
"Hey!"
"What are you thinking! It's a fruit that could get you into trouble for eating."
"It's okay. I've never had a problem eating before. Instead, I feel like I've been able to level up."
"That's because it was the elves that ate it"
It's too late since something happened.
'Wait a minute!
A word flies from the nucleus of the labyrinth to stop it.
'Would you look at that in detail?
Take a look at the fruit of the Divine Tree, which I was told to list in the labyrinth nucleus.
If you take a closer look at the fruit of the Divine Tree, the temptation will soon come to you wanting to stick around.
That's why I also feel it's a dangerous thing not to eat.
More importantly, I feel a different energy than magic.
Energy different from magic because the Divine Tree came in direct contact - I can feel divine.
"Yeah. It's over."
"You figured something out?
"This is called" the fruit of the Divine Tree, "but it's not fruit or anything. It's an object with a tremendous amount of energy in it."
Whatever you look at it, it just looks like fruit.
"The Elf who ate the fruit of the Divine Tree can live longer because it also takes objects whose sanity is condensed into the body. Thanks to the further increase in fitness for divinity by being taken in the body, it is no longer a problem to take in more quantities of divinity '
Originally, an elf who can live longer by taking in divinity will die in 150-200 because the body will no longer be able to withstand any more absorption of divinity.
However, if the aptitude for divinity is further improved by taking in the fruits of the Divine Tree, taking in even more divinity will eliminate the problem.
"How do you know about the properties of the elves?
"There are people who want eternal life from the Labyrinth Lord (Dungeon Master) who was there before. He tried to find the secret to an elf staying alive for a long time. In the end, I gave up because my life came when I thought I couldn't adapt to being human, even though I knew the secret that elves could live longer. At that time, I didn't even know there was an Elf Elder with an even longer life because I couldn't even get the fruit of the Divine Tree."
It could be enough, indeed, as a hint.
I'm sorry about the Labyrinth Lord, but I'm not interested in eternal life.
It would be enough if we could live quite a bit with the Sylvias and have a full life span.
"What happens if we eat?
'That's what you should stop. Elves may have no problem eating sacred chunks because they have minimal aptitude, but if humans who have no aptitude at all eat them, they may die at that moment. Maybe we can survive and get some aptitude, but I can bet on those who die.'
"Let's Stop It"
I don't want fitness for divinity until I take that risk.
I was told to be free to use it, but I have no use for it.
"Not really."
I hear Melissa has a plan for what to do with the labyrinth nucleus and worries.
"It may be impossible to get fitness by eating just like elves, but we have a way of 'magic conversion'. Divinity - If it's the fruit of the Divine Tree, which is a mass of energy, why don't you hit it and put it on?
"I see."
Skills that can be converted into magic by dedicating objects to the labyrinth.
I don't know if it's compatible with divinity and magic, but is it worth a try?
"By the way, it's no problem for us to take it home."
"... there is no doubt that this is what the Tree of God gave you because of what you were given at this time. You can take whatever you want."
I have permission from the Divine Tree itself, but I still need it from Elf's elders.
Let's go back to the labyrinth for magic conversion just in case.
"It's more of a feast than that."
"That's right. It's a miracle that the fruits of the Divine Tree have come to pass, so what if we don't celebrate?"
The sober elders disappear somewhere.
Probably headed to prepare for the banquet, as I said.
"Um... after this, I thought you promised to tell me about the conditioning."
"Let me show you around."
It was decided to follow the instructions of the elf, who led me to the Divine Tree on behalf of the elders, to the point where I would go under an alchemist who was good at formulating.
