Daniel was sitting near the tree, his sword lowered but ready. His gaze moved between the four newcomers and the fruit pulsing above the branch, though nothing but indifference could be seen in his eyes.
These four people were still looking at each other and then at him with hesitation, and they seemed reluctant to answer his question.
Or aside from hesitation, they seemed surprised? Their surprise also surprised Daniel, because he couldn't understand which part of his question seemed strange.
Did these people expect him to know the cursed tree? But why would they expect that?
The best reasoning could be that this tree was much more famous than it seemed, and that in itself could clarify a lot of information for him.
At that moment, Elisira stepped forward, her gaze shifting from the tree to Daniel.
"You don't seem like you came to destroy it." Her tone was calm, but behind it flowed a cold precision, as if she was trying to scrutinize this golden-eyed boy.
