Ronald and Catherine did not wait long.
Less than five minutes had passed after leaving here when the Great Demon Lama reopened the door at the base of the tree and invited them:
"Both of you, my summoner warmly welcomes your arrival and hopes for a more in-depth exchange."
Catherine pointed forward with her hand:
"Lead the way."
Lama hurriedly led the way attentively:
"This way, please."
"..."
Ronald and Casrina followed the Great Demon into the tree, which contained a circular staircase built around the tree's shape. Every three meters or so, it branched off into a floor, some of which had people working on them.
—It was clearly a busy workplace.
"..."
Ronald looked around curiously.
Normally, such modifications would certainly harm the tree's life.
But clearly, some mysterious methods were used here, so even though the inside was hollowed out, this massive tree maintained vigorous life force, even showing signs of growth.
