"This is..."

Asuna was about to speak when Herag covered her mouth with his hand: "You just need to know about Chatiya's identity, don't reveal it, keep it a secret for her."

Herag knew Asuna had probably noticed something, hence he spoke this way.

Asuna nodded, quickly understanding Herag's intention.

Chatiya's identity was certainly not ordinary, she was likely a legendary Royal Elf.

Thus, by keeping Chatiya's identity a secret, Chatiya could be relatively safer, and it would also mean less trouble for Herag.

After introducing themselves, Chatiya excitedly said, "You also come from the Elf Plane?"

Asuna smiled, "Yes, I'm from the Noen Kingdom, I've met some elves before, but I've never seen an elf maiden as beautiful as you."

Chatiya looked at Asuna with shining eyes, feeling a kind of excitement of meeting a fellow countrywoman.

Since arriving at the Wizard Plane, Herag was her only support.

Now she had encountered a girl from the Elf Plane, seemingly around her age, who had also signed a Master-Servant Contract with Herag.

This meant she would have a companion in the future.

"Noen Kingdom! I know it! I've heard some fairy tales from there before..."

This made Chatiya very excited, grabbing Asuna's hand and chatting non-stop.

Asuna, though also excited and thrilled, was clearly much more mature than Chatiya and only covered her mouth and laughed.

Despite being over a hundred years old, Chatiya was not as composed as Asuna.

The three of them chatted happily as they went upstairs. Herag opened his room and said, "This is my bedroom, you can stay here with me from now on."

Asuna looked at the spacious room and nodded, "Alright~"

The conditions here were much better than at Base 27.

Base 27 was just a wooden cabin, with nothing in it.

The living conditions inside the castle far surpassed the simple wooden cabin at Base 27, with all the furniture and facilities being very luxurious, unlike the base's simple cabin.

Asuna had never seen such a luxurious room in her lifetime and was momentarily unsure of where to step.

The floor of the room was covered with a layer of carpet, the quality of which was evidently very luxurious, making Asuna afraid to dirty it by stepping on it.

With a wave of his hand, Herag placed Asuna's clothes on the giant bed, and some of her personal belongings were also placed to the side.

There were several luxurious wardrobes and cabinets in the room, enough for Asuna to store her clothes.

Herag later planned to prepare a small Space Ring for both Asuna and Chatiya, just enough for their use.

"Chatiya, help me see what this is?" Herag took out the World Tree Bow.

He was still unfamiliar with this bow, only knowing its name.

Chatiya paused upon seeing it, then exclaimed in wonder, "The World Tree Bow! Master, how did you obtain this?"

"Got it from a Caster on the Elf Plane, do you know anything about it? Tell me." Herag said.

Chatiya thought for a moment and said, "This is made from the branches of the World Tree, yours is likely from the branches of a particular tribe's World Tree branch. If it were from the World Mother Tree, I could sense the aura, but yours is not."

"Is there a difference?" Herag asked.

"Of course there's a difference. The World Tree Bow made from the branches of the World Mother Tree is many times more powerful, while the effect is significantly reduced when made from the branches of other World Tree branches."

Chatiya continued to explain, "The World Tree Bow can only be used by someone of the Elf Race, using it without the bloodline of the Elf Race will consume life energy and has a great cost."

Looking at this wooden longbow, Herag pondered, "I see."

He had the royal elf bloodline within him, allowing him to use the World Tree Bow normally.

This explained why Cole paid a great price when using this bow, as blood trickled from his mouth.

If he had shot a few more arrows, Cole probably wouldn't have been able to bear it.

Night.

There was a bathroom in Herag's room, with a large bathtub filled with hot water, white steam rising, filling the room.

After staying inside for a while, even your eyebrows would be condensed with droplets of water.

Asuna, her face slightly flushed, wrapped herself in a bath towel, lowered her head, not daring to look at Herag, her shy appearance delicate and charming.

At this moment, Herag took out a wooden box, from which he took a crystal-clear emerald green leaf, and handed it to Asuna, "Eat it."

"This is..." Asuna took the World Tree Juice, not expecting such a beautiful object, only for Herag to tell her to eat it.

"This is World Tree Juice, consuming it will increase life by three hundred years," Herag explained.

He had ten drops in total, one drop for himself was enough, more would be of no use.

The remaining drops could certainly not be sold for the time being, so they might as well be used for those around him.

Chatiya mentioned she used to eat them like candies when she was little, so she certainly didn't need them anymore.

Asuna was still human, the lifespan of a Caster from the Elf Plane was not as long as that of a Wizard.

So Herag took out a drop for Asuna to consume.

"Three hundred years of life!"

Asuna was shocked.

This beautiful object could unexpectedly increase a person's life by three hundred years.

Asuna was a bit dazed, as in her eyes, this was a supreme treasure, and Herag was willing to give it to her, making Asuna feel touched.

"Don't freeze up, eat it quickly, and don't tell others," Herag said.

"Mm~" Asuna nodded, opening her small mouth and swallowing the World Tree Juice.

While she was eating it, Herag also took a leaf and ate it.

The World Tree Juice quickly melted in the mouth, becoming a stream of liquid flowing into her body.

As this stream of liquid entered her body, it immediately transformed into boundless energy, endlessly spreading throughout her entire body.

Herag immediately felt warmth flowing through his body, with his cells seemingly cheering in celebration, feeling unprecedented comfort.

Besides the physical changes, more importantly, there was an earth-shaking change happening in his mind.

In Herag's mind, the gaseous spiritual power had already condensed into a small mass, being at the brink of advancing to the Liquidation Wizard stage.

It had been at this stage for several months, but there had been no real breakthrough.

Herag was not in a rush to break through, instead going through meditation practice in a methodical manner, taking one step at a time.

After just consuming the World Tree Juice, that mass of spiritual power began to change.

This mass of spiritual power started to automatically shift, transforming like twisting clay.

Soon after, this mass of spiritual power began to liquefy, its form gradually changing until it turned into a single drop of water.

"Entering the Liquefaction Stage."

Herag felt the changes in his body, with improvements in every aspect and also some enhancement in spiritual power.

In his mind, a single drop of water floated silently, quietly.
