章節 166: Mission Impossible

I was keen to find Sylrin soon, so I turned to the dark fae and asked if there was anything more.

She seemed to be having a conversation with Typhon, so I waited for them to finish. It was then that she rushed over to me with an excited grin on her face.

[He said he found some mortals!] The dark fae spoke excitedly as she pointed towards Cygnus. [We have to tell the spirits! They really love mortals and their trinkets!]

"Mortals?"

«They are the human equivalent in this world.» Sensei revealed.

Oh.

But why would that make the spirits happy?

«Believe it or not, the preferred food of the tree spirits isn't the blood of monsters.» Sensei continued with a chuckle. «They are more than happy to feast on mortals to replenish their magic.» 

Whoa! Man eating trees? Sounds scary.

«But mortals are extremely rare to find in the Labyrinth.»

"Why not?"
