I Reincarnated As a Tree

Low 34: Head to City Centre

A carriage pulled by two bulls runs through the labyrinth. While the coachman who is a woman wearing a large conical hat that looks heavy and a fur leather coat that feels hot when seen.

‘Aneh’ One word that comes to mind of everyone who runs into him.

Azalea departed from the middle of the labyrinth to the exit, several times she met with adventurers who were challenging the labyrinth, among them there were lost and asked to be shown the way out to Azlea.

“You only need to penetrate the plant wall.” Azlea revealed a secret path to the exit.

“Hah! Wouldn't if we did that would make Skyweed angry and kill us?.” One of the stray adventurers who did not believe the actual Azlea Word was the labyrinth maker itself.

The incredulity of the adventurers was not without foundation, several times it was reported aggressive attacks by Skyweed on those who damaged the walls of the labyrinth plant. The attack has even resulted in death.

Everyone thought that the Skyweed who was normally friendly to humans had suddenly become so fierce caused by the adventurers who damaged the labyrinth.

“Ma.. it's your right not to believe what I say.” The woman did not care much for the adventurers who did not believe her.

Using the tlekinesis ability Azlea gets rid of plants that block the path. A huge hole was created in the wall made of vines, seeing that the adventurers thought that the Skyweed would come attacking, but nothing happened.

Azlea calmly drove the carriage through the hole she made. After the train passed through the hole, the plants closed as before.

“It looks like it's safe,” one of the adventurers is interested to try what Azlea has done.

“Hey! Don't be rash, I think it's a trap. We can't trust a freak carrying crete in the middle of a labyrinth. Could be the strange woman earlier was the incarnation of the labyrinth monster.” Other adventurers are still being vigilant.

“Ah, you're right. We don't even know the woman.” All adventurers again realize that in the labyrinth often appear evil people who like to mislead adventurers.

Although Azlea is actually so famous in the foot of the sacred mountain but the adventurers who had just arrived a few days from another city did not know him.

They had indeed heard about the five strongest people in Ginger city, but had never seen them directly until they did not realize that the strange woman was one of them.

But lucky porter or someone whose job as a carrier of goods. Porter who came from the city of Ginger knew the figure of Azlea, he also told the adventurers.

It made the adventurers again feel a dilemma between believing in Azlea's advice or not.

“Ah! The bodo time. I've been too tired for a week stuck in this damn maze.” One of the desperate adventurers then ran into the plant wall.

“O... oy!.” another adventurer tried to prevent his friend but was late.

Two bulls came out of the plant wall pulling a large wagon driven by a woman with the appearance of a witch. The sight certainly attracted the attention of dozens of people who were at the entrance of the labyrinth.

“He broke through the labyrinth wall!, how is it possible?.”

Many newcomers came from the city, they hoped to start a new life in the city of Ginger.

“Oey, Watch your talk! He was one of the most influential people in the city, Leah the Witch. You should remember that if you want to live safely in the city of Ginger.” One of the adventurers who was a native of the city of Ginger was angry that someone called Azlea a strange woman.

The train continues to move down the mountain using a labyrinth. Every time it crossed paths with adventurers or farmers looking for herbs in the forest they would bow their heads respectfully to the woman.

Traveling on crete for ten minutes from the entrance of the labyrinth, Azlea arrived at the climbing post, where six months ago the refugees of the survivors to pass the outbreak.

The refuge is now turned into a rural village run by the Hunter association. The inns in this place were always full of adventurers who wanted to challenge the labyrinth.

“Two beef chess burgers, big size french fries and black coffee.” Azlea orders her breakfast at a waitress at her favorite fast food restaurant.

A woman with the appearance of a witch looks so ancient, entering a dining place so different modern. But if you pay attention not only Azlea who looks to have a strange appearance. Many customers at the restaurant were cyborgs with artificial body parts, so those called Demi-humans mingled with humans.

It looks strange, but that's how the world is today. Megala civilization from medieval (medieval), modern, fantasy, steampunk to cyberpunk melted into one until reality looks so random, something feels placed out of place creating Surrealism.

After getting her order, Azlea immediately continued her journey down the mountain. With his mouth filled with burgers he spurred the train faster, the descending path did not scare him into an accident.

There is an absolute rule for those who want to enter the sacred mountain that is not allowed to carry a motor vehicle. The regulation was applied to maintain the forest environment where herbal plants grow.

Because of this rule, most adventurers who go to the labyrinth use horses or crete. Even in the parking lot of the restaurant that Azlea had just visited there was no motorbike or car, but horses and grobs.

Fifteen minutes later Azlea arrived at the entrance gate of Sacred Mountain, outside the gate filled with merchant shops, they offer a variety of Hunter needs such as potions, weapons to maintenance equipment.

Some merchants tried to approach Azlea because they thought she was a Hunter who had just finished exploring the labyrinth. But so aware that the figure is Leah the Witch makes all traders get out of the way.

Leaving the Sacred mountain, Azlea's carriage sped towards the middle of the city. The road is filled with cars but the speed of the train is not inferior to motor vehicles. The two bulls that pulled the Azlea carriage were mutant monsters that could run up to a speed of 400 kilometers per hour.

But still the sight of a crete grobak overtaking a sports car there is something too abnormal.

The Hunter Association, where Hunters receive quests or sell their hunts. Azlea's train arrived in front of the association building, the association officers who saw Azlea's arrival welcomed her. It had become a daily routine where Azlea would come in the morning to the Hunter association to sell various materials.

Braak!

Just stepping a few times, Azlea was startled by the body of someone who was thrown from inside the association building.

“It feels good to return to the daily routine that is ‘normal’.” With an expanding smile Azlea entered the Hunter association building.
