Chapter 325: When it happens so much you don’t get surprised anymore
Oh...so she died?
This wasn’t my interpreter formation’s mistake in translation, right?
I had no idea what the concept of death in the world of spirit was like, but the word ’perished’ could not be more grim. I knew this might be nothing, as I wasn’t a spirit and possessed a different physiology. But I had to say my heart stopped for a bit when I read it.
I proceeded to read more, but there was nothing more about that topic in the letter. The Queen was born as a half-druid, half-dryad, and ’enjoyed’ both of that world. She had the physique of a druid, but also could travel from tree to tree like dryad. And it seemed like she could give birth two ways--by her womb, or the dryad way--which means...I might be able to.
The dryad way, I mean, not the non-existent womb.
I asked the scribe if there was any document about dryads, but she told me that kind of information was available in the regular library, so I could read them in the Tribe Hall instead. And with that, we finished our business here.
"Do you get what you want?" Amarein asked as we walked back to the gate of the tree.
"Yeah," I said hesitatingly. Well, I did; but I had no idea what to think about it. And even more, I was afraid of Natha’s reaction. "Umm...can I consult you about the content tomorrow? There’s something I wasn’t sure about."
"Of course," Amarein nodded with a smile, just before we stepped into the gate. "Let’s talk about it in the library, while you’re looking about the dr--"
"Huh?"
I stepped into the gate expecting to see the plaza and Natha, but instead of a dark space, I was greeted by the interior of a forest, with sunlight pouring through the gap in the foliage. I blinked for a few seconds, but I had experienced this enough to no longer feel scared or even confused.
