"Potion, did the Tree Spirit also give you a potion?" Igor asked.
"To be precise, the title of 'Apothecarist' was also given by the Tree Spirits; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to carry this title into various markets."
Tree Spirits are a magical presence on this continent. Their understanding of the Natural Force surpasses that of ordinary people. This is not a power that the average person can comprehend. Even the proud Wizards admit their inferiority when facing Tree Spirits. It's a simple and clear-cut matter; Tree Spirits can integrate with trees, sothing no human can achieve.
Hustace is earnestly recording these events. He finds his brother's experiences miraculous and wants to docunt them well.
"Let tell you, although legends claim Tree Spirits are cruel and bizarre creatures, they're actually very easy to communicate with. As long as you listen intently, you'll understand them almost entirely."
Igor has not had any dealings with Tree Spirits, so he has no way of knowing if Perkins is telling the truth.
Besides Perkins, two others in this carriage have also encountered Tree Spirits.
Stan Sol has seen them; his family has been active in the Vero Realm for a long ti, so they've had so contact with Tree Spirits.
As for Nakasha, he saw Tree Spirits on the battlefield. As a White Robe, he felt utterly inadequate and was no match for a Tree Spirit.
"Let tell you, Tree Spirits are very peaceful, but because the lands they rely on for survival have been encroached upon by people, they're feeling a greater sense of crisis in recent years, which makes them more guarded against people than before."
The Vero Realm is a magical place where people live alongside the mysterious Tree Spirits and unpredictable Water Spirits, forming a habit early on. The Vero People's coldness is partially due to living alongside these two species.
However, these aren't secrets, and Perkins doesn't elaborate much. What he wants to focus on is his role as an Apothecarist.
Being given this title by the Tree Spirits is an honor. For humans, receiving praise from Tree Spirits is a great honor.
Igor is very curious about why Perkins received the Tree Spirits' praise and how he ca by so many bizarre things, but Perkins's stories are increasingly off-topic.
Still, Igor cannot interrupt Perkins. Firstly, he doesn't have the habit of interrupting soone mid-sentence, and secondly, he can't bring himself to do it because he finds Perkins's discourse very interesting.
Whether it's the habits of the Vero People or the Tree Spirits, Igor listens with great interest.
"Hehe, let tell you, you really have to go out and see things for yourself. It's not sothing you can understand from sitting at ho. So things you imagine one way, but when you truly see them, they're different."
Stan Sol nods in agreent. He finds Perkins's words very reasonable. The downfall of his family is a pri example. Back then, his family was always dismissive of Spirit Power. They were eventually overtaken by the Gaoju Family because no one in his family examined the strengths and weaknesses of Spirit Power closely.
Now, it's too late. Many attribute it to the Sol Family's rigid mindset, but Sol believes there were other reasons. Although his family is downcast, they wouldn't have fallen to this extent without the Gaoju Family's suppression. They wouldn't be wandering everywhere like they are now.
These are painful matters, and Stan Sol thinks he'll only understand what truly happened when he ets Tobin.
Here, Stan Sol encountered a friend of Tobin's. Initially, he thought Perkins just knew Tobin, but now Stan Sol realizes Perkins is a good friend of Tobin's.
Because in many of Perkins's stories, Tobin is involved.
In many parts of the Vero Realm, Tobin's footprints are present. The places Perkins talked about are all locations Tobin once visited...
"Hehe, after wandering for so many years, I really miss our Luona. The people there are honest, not as brutal as Mantai, nor as cold as Vero. The people of our Luona are all law-abiding folks," Perkins said.
Igor doesn't know why Perkins beca so sentintal, but his sentint also tugged at Igor's heart. Igor thought of his few friends, Fat Jack, who was learning to be a chef, and Kirk, who always dread of becoming a Hunter. Each was so simple and happy...
"In the past, in Luona, I thought I understood the world. To , the world was transparent. But after traveling this round, I realized I didn't even understand a small village," Perkins said. He spoke a lot today and suddenly felt very tired.
In youth, one is often ambitious. As you mature, you realize the world isn't what you imagined.
Perkins's doubts began with these details. He beca hesitant, lost his youthful decisiveness, and his dreams turned fragile.
"I once thought about traveling the world and becoming a great Adventurer. But that dream shattered because I couldn't beco an Adventurer with Class, leaving despondent for a long ti. Later, Tobin helped a lot and made realize that even without the identity of an Adventurer with Class, I could still travel the world."
Igor scratched his head, "Isn't the identity of an Adventurer important?"
"It's important, but also not important. So things can't be determined by identity. Little brother, let tell you, the most important thing is belief. When you have that belief, everything will fall into place."
Igor seed to partially understand.
"My travels around the world brought many gains. My wish is to share these gains with everyone. Sharing, that's my belief now!"
Sharing, Igor pondered. He felt he had also gained sothing in this area before—the essence of the World Setting Technique was also sharing. The more one gained, the more one wanted to share. Could this be a character trait?
"Let tell you, I now feel like a teacher at the Yonder Travel Academy, telling the youths about my travels to show them how magical, beautiful, and worthy of love our world is."
Perkins revealed his wish. Traveling the world for such a long ti made him increasingly value peace. Nonetheless, wars still broke out from ti to ti, which made him very sad.
