Round 9:

Intrigued by the ancient tree and the newfound key, you decide to investigate the ancient tree further before taking the key. As you approach the tree, you notice intricate carvings on its bark, depicting scenes of battles, magic, and ancient rituals. The carvings seem to tell a story, but their meaning eludes you.

As you examine the carvings, a soft voice echoes in your mind, "To unlock the path to the Crystal of Eternity, you must prove your worth through a trial of wisdom and strength."

What will you do?

1. Attempt to decipher the meaning behind the carvings and the trial mentioned.

2. Take the key and continue on your path, disregarding the trial.

3. Use your magical abilities to sense any hidden clues or magical energies around the ancient tree.
