The old woman heard Cale�s response.

�I will return alive and drink all of your alcohol.�

The old woman reached her hand toward the fire for warmth before starting to speak.

�Sully.�

�Yes, grandmother.�

�Don�t charge them for the alcohol.�

Cale shook his wine glass toward the awkwardly smiling grandson, Sully, before drinking the remainder in one giant gulp. Cale heard a voice in his mind at that moment.

� �Human, let�s destroy that snowstorm!

Cale ignored it.

On and Hong were meowing as they tapped on the table. Cale ignored that as well. He remembered what Eruhaben had told him.

�You need to destroy the World Tree in order to get rid of the snowstorm.�

�But the World Tree controls the snowstorm, so it will open up a path for you if you use my token.�

Eruhaben rarely warned Cale about anything, but he had something to say this time.

�You might think that the World Tree is cruel when you see the snowstorm. However, the World Tree is an existence that has lived, died, and resurrected many times for over ten thousand years.�

�The World Tree is the closest thing to nature. Living and dying are natural. Remember these words.�

The World Tree had caused the snowstorm to protect itself from danger.

Although many people died by the snowstorm, that allowed the World Tree to be safe from the greed of other lifeforms.

Cale put the wine glass down and stood up to head to his room.

On and Hong followed behind him.

He quietly gave an order to Choi Han who got up as well.

�Pack up all of the remains you see by the lake. Tell everyone.�

Choi Han stopped following him and nodded his head. Cale headed up to his room while Choi Han smiled before returning to the table.

Cale had to deal with Hong�s question as soon as he laid down on his bed.

�Do you think I�ll be able to turn people blind if I eat this poison?� JrNovels.com
