Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 73 Let the Wind Take the Choice

"How...is this possible?"

Bronya looked at the soldiers who had clearly died in battle, now alive again, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She looked at Eve again, and Eve, dressed in white, gradually became blurred in her eyes, but the sense of holiness became more and more obvious.

"Cough cough..."

Suddenly, Tie Wei, who was lying on the stretcher, started coughing.

"I... I'm still alive?"

"It's true! I'm still alive!!"

The sight was so extraordinary that even the Iron Guard standing nearby was shocked.

In the end what happened.

March 7th, standing nearby, was also stunned.

She looked at Eve, her eyes filled with doubt.

What? You can do this too?

"How did you do that?" Bronya looked at Eve intently.

Eve said softly, "The power of life."

"In this world, it may not be possible in theory, but it may not be possible in practice."

"The world allows wills to be matched with suitable containers, but it does not allow containers to collect dissipated souls. This is the rule of the tree, but there are exceptions to the rule."

Eve flicked her wrist, and a sky-blue sword appeared in her hand.

That is the ancient oath of freedom. This sword was once infused with the power of the wind and the god of hope, capable of stirring up souls.

"With this sword, one can make choices in place of the soul."

Since the container is not allowed to collect the dissipated souls, then the wind will choose the container in place of the souls.

"This... I don't understand what they're saying, but it sounds amazing." March 7th nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, Mommy is the best!" Xing nodded frantically.

“I see… I understand now.” Bronya nodded.

"Wait! You actually understood?" March 7th exclaimed in shock.

Bronya nodded. "Yes, roughly speaking, it means that the ability to be brought back to life is all thanks to this sword."

“And… this understanding doesn’t seem wrong either,” March 7th said after thinking for a moment.

Bronya said respectfully to Eve, "Anyway, thank you again, Eve..."

"Hmm?" Eve smiled at her.

“Mom,” Bronya immediately changed her address.

“Mmm.” Eve nodded happily.

Bronya was still a little shy.

Just then, a Silvermane Iron Guard suddenly ran over and said, "Commander Bronya, Lady Cocolia needs to see you."

Bronya immediately shed her shyness and reverted to her serious demeanor, saying to the Iron Guard, "Okay, I understand."

She turned to Eve again, "Um, Mom... I need to take care of some things first."

"It's getting late. I'll arrange for the guards to escort you back to the Goethe Hotel."

"No need, no need!" said March 7th from the side. "We still prefer to be free."

Eve nodded slightly, agreeing with March 7's words.

“Well… okay.” Bronya hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Well then, I'll be going now."

She turned her head and immediately walked towards Cripperburg.

The remaining Iron Guards began to repair and rebuild their defenses.

"Phew, the crisis is finally over. I'm so tired." March 7th put her hands behind her head and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Um... what did you do?" Xing asked from the side.

"We were just cheering them on, okay?" March 7 said shyly.

At this moment, Eve yawned. "Let's go back to the hotel first. I'm a little sleepy."

“That makes sense.” March 7th nodded in agreement.

As soon as Eve finished speaking, a wave of exhaustion washed over her.

March 7th stretched and said, "Oh, I'm so tired. All I want to do now is lie on this soft bed and drift off to sleep."

"It seems like every time we embark on a pioneering journey, the first day always ends up being quite exhausting."

As if activated, Xing suddenly said, "Honkai, Sleeping Iron..."

“It’s because you have too much energy,” Eve interrupted Xing in time.

“I call it the spirit of pioneering never dying out,” March 7th immediately said.

"Great, great~, we are so lucky to have a pioneer like you on our pioneering journey."

"Yes, that's right!!"

They talked as they headed toward the Goethe Hotel.

Cripper Fort.

The Great Guardian's Office.

"What brings you here, Lady Cocolia?" Bronya entered the office and saw Cocolia Rand sitting in her seat.

However, Cocolia at this moment was somewhat different from the one she usually saw.

Her figure was backlit, obscuring her expression, and she seemed to be shrouded in shadow.

“You’re late, Bronya,” Cocolia said coldly.

“Lady Cocolia, it’s like this, a monster invasion just occurred in the rift of the district, which is why I’m late,” Bronya said, bowing her head.

“Never mind, I have something else to discuss with you,” Cocolia said.

What is your opinion of those three outsiders?

“This…” Bronya was momentarily speechless.

Could it be that Lady Cocolia already knows that she has been in contact with them?

Cocolia continued, "Or rather, do you think what they're saying is true?"

Bronya said cautiously, "I... don't know."

"But I think that since they've said it, they must have the ability to resolve Belloberg's crisis..."

Cocolia sighed, "Useless."

"They are nothing but a bunch of liars, posing as outsiders with the intention of instigating a rebellion."

"Look, this is the statement Jepard just handed in."

She threw a document in front of Bronya.

The document written on it is the confession of the suspect, Sambo.

My name is Sangbo.

He's a businessman, a truly upright businessman, okay, sometimes not so upright.

[I really got scammed by them. I thought they were in the same line of work, but they turned out to be bandits.]

What a humiliation! Today, the eagle has been pecked in the eye by a sparrow.

[We can't beat them, we simply can't! Those whips hurt so much, they're a bunch of lunatics!]

Whether it succeeds or not, I'm already here, there's nothing I can do.

I've confessed, I've told you everything I know.

......................

After reading the above statement, Bronya found it hard to believe.

"So...so they're bandits?"

No, that's definitely not right.

Bronya gripped the Eye of God tightly in her hand, feeling the power within.

Eve and her friends could never be bandits; they were clearly a group of heroes trying to save Belloberg.

Besides, with this kind of strength, why would I need to be a bandit?

Bronya continued to look at the statement in her hand, trying to find any suspicious points.

At this moment, Cocolia continued, "You've already seen it, haven't you, Bronya?"

"You should know what to do, right?"

Bronya was still incredulous.

But she had no other choice at the moment, so she could only say, "I understand, Lady Cocolia."

Cocolia nodded in satisfaction. "Then, to avoid alerting them, let's mobilize the Iron Guards to surround the Goethe Hotel today."

"We'll make our move around noon tomorrow."

"Yes, Lady Cocolia..."

Bronya looked at the statement in her hand, lost in thought.
