It was a deep gasp.
Adite looked back and forth between Cale and the fireball next to Cale before slowly putting her coins back into her sleeve.
��How shocking. But it looks like I don�t need to empty my emergency fund.�
The mumbling Adite looked toward the fireball.
She had rushed over here without thinking about anything after seeing fire next to Cale. Adite calmly observed the fireball now that she calmed down a bit after learning that it was an Elemental.
The fireball shook at that moment and Cale heard the Wind Elemental�s voice.
�The baby Fire Elemental is saying, �The World Tree-nim told me not to come here, but I had to meet Cale Henituse-nim because of an issue with my contractor. Adite-nim, I ask for you to understand.��
��What the�? It can speak regularly too?�
Cale�s level of trust in the Fire Elemental and the Wind Elemental fell drastically. However, Adite started to speak.
�The young master-nim needs to meet with the World Tree-nim. You can chat with him later.�
The floating fire slowly turned faint and disappeared. Cale�s warm side returned to normal as well.
�The Fire Elemental told me to let you know that he would wait until you come out of the lake! Chaos! Despair! Destroy the White Star!�
Cale nodded his head at the Wind Elemental�s comments and started to speak to Adite.
�May I meet with the World Tree-nim right away?�
�She has been waiting for a while.�
Adite smiled gently and guided them to the World Tree.

�It�s been so long!�
Cale reached his hand out toward the World Tree whom he had not seen in a while as Raon mentioned.
This tree that still looked like a normal tree at least seemed to have more vitality than before. The branches and leaves looked healthier than last time.
Shhhhh.
Cale closed his eyes and his palm touched the rough surface of the tree.
� It�s been a while.
Cale started to speak the moment he heard the World Tree�s voice.
�That does seem to be the case.�
The World Tree had sacrificed three of her branches to tell Cale three things last time. JrNovels.com
