"You know where it is?"

At his words, my eyes widened.

I had asked on a whim, not actually expecting an answer.

But he really knew? That caught me off guard.

"Yeah, I know."

"…Where?"

In response, Noya casually pointed at the ground beneath us.

I followed his gesture, but all I saw was stone pavement.

Why the hell was he pointing there?

Just as I was about to ask, Noya spoke.

"Underground. Yahwol’s Divine Tree exists deep below."

‘Underground?’@@novelbin@@

A Divine Tree—wasn’t that supposed to be something like the massive one on Mount Hua?

Yet he was saying that such a tree wasn’t above ground, but deep beneath it?

For a moment, my thoughts just stopped.

How the hell does a tree that big even exist underground?

"I only know that it’s there," Noya continued. "But I don’t know how it exists, nor do I know how to enter."

"So there’s a specific entrance?"

"Of course there is. Considering the Divine Tree’s value, it’s only natural that it wouldn’t be somewhere easily accessible."

"…Then what about Mount Hua? They left their tree out in the open."

If making it inaccessible was the norm, then Mount Hua’s tree was a complete contradiction.

That argument didn’t make sense.

When I pointed that out, Noya let out an awkward laugh.

"That one is technically hidden too."

Bullshit.

That thing was visible from miles away.

"You think I’m lying? From the start, Mount Hua was a place that very few could enter."

It sounded like he was trying very hard to justify it, but I wasn’t buying it.

I just nodded absently, letting him say whatever.

"You little—"

Apparently, he didn’t like my attitude.

His fist clenched.
