Chapter 40 The Fruit of the Tree of Wisdom
When he came to his senses, Yoshu found himself lying on a grass. He opened his eyes with difficulty and his physical strength was gradually recovering.
The first time he saw his limbs.
Because [Mind Realm] will turn him into some other creature as a reflection of the mind.
This is what he cares most about.
Then he saw a human palm and legs.
"This is……"
"wrong!"
Yoshu discovered that not only did he not change, but his size became smaller. He found a nearby river, and in the reflection of the river, he saw himself becoming younger.
It turns out that he is already seventeen years old, but now his body is over ten years old.
When Yoshu saw this, he didn't know whether he should be glad that he had not become a strange animal or smiled bitterly.
Is it the reflection of the soul that makes him a child, or is the rules here changing?
This made him unable to figure it out for a while.
Neither the former nor the latter could make him happy.
If it becomes a child due to inner reflection, the meaning of this represents will make him depressed.
He always felt, even imagined, that if he entered that copy, he would definitely become such an ugly monster.
Yoshu never thought that his heart would be visualized by children. He felt that his personality should be even colder.
Of course, this will not be said to be the reason for the former, and it may also be caused by the new rules.
Even if someone other than him enters, he will become a child.
Compared to his inner wavering, he is more inclined to accept the latter, even if the latter's result is a more difficult reality than the former.
"Is it because of the Fool's Mark, or is there a different change here now and after the disaster?"
After all, the background time of Yue Xiu’s player career is not equal to that of the present.
For example, the way that the god Ahiye treats is the difference caused by this ambition.
It is also possible that the copy of the God of Fraud is because of this.
"Just... a copy itself will change itself?"
Such things are unheard of, and may also be another test for the God of Fraud.
Yo Xiu gave up thinking about it carefully, after all, there are still not many clues now.
Apart from that, there is only that proverb as a reminder:
[Mediocre people are easily deceived by appearances, while wise people are easily deceived by reality.]
The meaning of this sentence is worthy of his consideration.
The point is probably in the second half of the sentence.
After Yo Xiu appeared here, he also discovered something strange to him.
That is, whether it is flowers, plants, trees, rivers, even fish in the water, and fruits on the trees, they all seem to be depicted in fairy tales books.
Even himself, he has become cartoonish, without the flesh-and-blood realism of reality.
This place is definitely not just a forest.
Yoshu believed in this, otherwise, this would not be a copy, but a trap.
And after that proverb prompt, he didn't think it was a trap.
After walking around the woods, I asked Xiu to come to an orchard with all kinds of fruits hanging on it.
Suddenly a girl's call attracted his attention.
This was the first time he discovered that there was someone else's presence, and he walked over quickly.
A little girl in her 10-year-old was wearing a red dress with long gray hair. She was placed next to her in a basket with two apples, covering her butt with her left hand.
"Okay, it hurts so much."
"Idiot Xiaoguo, didn't you tell me if I accidentally fell down, do you remember to pick me up?"
In front of her was a cartoon-like red apple floating in the air with wings. The fruit was clearly round, but the upper half was bent, as if it looked aggrieved.
"What, you said you are too small? Humph, I don't care!"
As he said that, the little girl turned her head angrily, and the red apple suddenly became anxious and circled around her, as if she was making the girl happy.
The little girl probably wasn't really angry, and she soon forgave Feitian's Apple with a smile on her face.
"Um?"
The little girl noticed the sound of someone approaching. It was a little boy about her age, so she greeted her happily.
"Hello, I haven't seen you in the village. My name is Ai Xi, where are you?"
Yoshu smiled slightly, he gave a standard gentlemanly greeting and said, "My name is Yoshu, my dear little lady."
"Little lady?"
Ai Xi wrinkled her small nose and said dissatisfiedly: "Hmph, I'm a little taller than you!"
When a boy was a child, it was indeed difficult to compare with a girl in height. Yoshu is indeed a little shorter than Ai Xi now.
Yoshu shook his head and smiled mysteriously, "I am really older than you..."
Soon after, I asked Xiu and Ai Xi to mingle, and the girl laughed constantly under the fruit tree.
There are many strange things on the hands of Jie Xiu, which she has never seen before.
Even Yoxiu told her some heroic stories on the mainland, and stars burst into Ai Xi's eyes.
"Hey, Brother Yoshu, did you really rescue that saint?"
Yo Xiu patted his chest and said, "Of course."
"Brother Yoxiu is so amazing. Humph, you must teach the big bad guy of the God of War next time, and you dare to bully the Saint Sister!"
Ai Xi clenched her fist and said angrily, obviously, this little girl who was as simple as a piece of white paper had been coaxed by the old fox of Yo Xiu...
"Ah, by the way, brother, I have two delicious fruits in this basket. Do you want to eat them?"
"Give it to you, you one, I one!"
Ai Xi smiled and stuffed the apple-like fruit to Yosu. Only then did he realize that the fruit was so real.
Unlike other fruits, it does not give people a cartoony feeling.
The doubts flashed through his heart, and Yue Xiu happily accepted Ai Xi's kindness on the surface.
He dared not eat those fruits. Now Ai Xi has eaten the fruits on hand depending on the situation. It's okay.
Even for Ai Xi's enthusiasm and the purpose of making an appointment with Xiu, he would not give up.
Then, after the first bite, his face changed.
He found that his brain became extremely clear in an instant.
Taste, sweet, crispy, like an apple.
"There is no apple in the Qilun Continent, some... only wisdom fruit!"
【You have eaten the fruit of the Tree of Wisdom.】
【Your intelligence +10.】
Sure enough, Yue Xiu opened the data panel and got this prompt.
Intelligence involves calculation and analysis abilities, and is very important for mage professions.
He is a fraudster, and his desire for intelligence is even greater than that of the mages.
"So, this tree is the legendary tree of wisdom?!"
Yo Xiu suddenly looked up, and it was the first time he really noticed this not-stunning fruit tree.
"According to ancient classics, in addition to the wisdom fruit and the branches and leaves of the wisdom tree, the wisdom tree actually contains a major secret..."
And the wisdom tree is not something that ordinary people can plant.
Now, Yo Xiu has officially realized that this girl, Ai Xi, is very not simple!
The girl looked at Yo Xiu curiously from the opposite side. The two looked at each other. Yo Xiu was shocked to find that there was a silver cross-shaped mark on the through hole in her left eye!
