About the blackish dry branch /3/

BACK TO THE PRESENT,

Frente was done reminiscing in the past,

Whe he look at these blackish dry branch he was reminded by the deceased elder,

Frente didn't bother asking the current city lord how and where he was able to got some few numbers of it's branches, to him it is manifested that he took it from the dangerous forest at the southern part of the valley.

He was astonish, but deep in his mind he was wondering and thinking how the hell the city lord was able to leave the perilous forest safe and sound, despite his clothes were tattered indicating a sign that he just recently had a fierce battle.

From his clothes that were cut, stain with blood and disheveled. He expected that the battle was intense.

Frente begin to tell the city lord it's name, and he tell Xiang Monji the things what he knew.

"Through interwining the roots in the ground, the spiritual ki of the Black Wither Ballete is injected in the whole forest in which enhances, strenthen and immunize them from their weakness;

Once any parts of the trees are extracted, the immunity of fire are deem void, therefore even a normal fire can combust it;

Once the extracted parts are combust, the fire will last one year, regardless of the cold weather or spilling water on it;

A year is equivalent to a century of spiritual qi injected in the wood from the Black Wither Ballete;

To cease the fire, either yearn for a year for the fire to stop or extract the spiritual qi imbued inside the branch/tree."

With what Frente has said, Xiang Monji dispel his assumption about the branches, since the *hyphothesis that pop out in his mind were answered by Frente.

(*chapter 63 in the webnovel)

The branches and any parts of "walking wither" are immune to fire when they are connected to "Black Wither Ballete" which Xiang Monji assume as an Elder Treant.

"Black Wither Ballete? Is that the Elder Treant?" Xiang Monji ask,

"If your talking about the Brain of the Forest, that is it's name"

"As for it's underling they are called, walking wither"

["hmmm.... more like walking dead huh!"]

Now that his assumption were answered by Frente the head chief. They resume their activity.

The name of the activity would be called

"Fiesta" in this one day event everyone will serve and cater food and share it to their neighbors big or small. The essence of the event is to share and enjoy food.

Women are busy cooking, the soldiers were patroling, the kids remain on their sit and for those men and remaining soldiers they prepare setting up the fire, chop woods and aiding as an extra.

As for Xiang Monji he return to his room, to take some change clothes, his clothes were torn due to the aftermath fight that he just recently encounter. After that he continue mediatating to advance further in his realm.

Several hours later,

Laura his soon to be disciple, he has no intention of making her his disciple, he just want her to be strong, strong enough to be independent and not rely, begging on the street to help his sister, like what she did in the past. And what piss him the most is when a girl like her would do anything as if there is no alternative way to resolve the problem.

And lastly his wife, Obelisk. Obelisk is an alias name or should be a title given to her in the world of Murim. With her jet black appearance, dark domineering aura and shiny dark scales like a dark shiny crystals. She has a title beffiting for a dragonic demon.
