Chapter 22 The clear eyes hint at the future
After Helis and Hubert gave up on letting Fitney lead the way, they left the cabin early the next morning, without even saying hello to Fatney - Fitney returned to his life not long ago, practicing swords every day and learning from Darwin to cultivate the plants he had collected from the forest, and waiting for Xiaobai to bring them some new plants and new surprises every day.

Helis and Hubert are an inconspicuous episode that doesn't change anything.
Another week passed - the weather was exceptionally good, and in the early morning, when the day was just fully bright, the morning fog had not yet completely dissipated, and the morning sun poured down from the green canopy and spread softly on the earth, and the fog weaved a thin and shining veil that floated in the air like a dream.
That's what Fitney thought when he walked in the forest.
She wore a white shirt and trousers for mobility, carried a brown backpack that seemed heavy to her, and her long white-blond hair was simply tied up—following the old man in front of her, who looked to be unable to move because of her age, but was actually light-footed, and followed by a dog.
Darwin suddenly wanted to go on a "wild adventure" on a "whim", and he strongly invited Fitney to participate.
"Look at that Manda mushroom, when the magic condition in the morning mist changes, its growth is also somewhat different," Darwin was a workaholic who was focused on his work, although Fitney had done this kind of storytelling, but the look of joy on his face was completely different from the somewhat painful way Fitney sometimes remembered those things, "Look what is that?"
"Bead grass?" Fitnair looked at where Darwin was pointing, "maybe it's the flower of Barlow, and their leaves are similar......
"It's very interesting that when you touch it, it has unheard of droplets on its leaves. Darwin said, making Fitney feel still ignorant, "Plants that grow in pots are not typical, just as the bead grass does not grow in moist soils—the flowers of Barlow are the opposite, no matter how similar they may be." ”
Fitney nodded modestly, a large part of his mood was weak.
There were things that could not be compensated for by a few days of study, and Darwin probably knew what was going on in her heart, so he would bring himself out with him—such a conversation would do him no good to know a lot, it was a waste of words, but it benefited Fitney a lot.
At the end of the day, she realized that the so-called expedition was only a lesson for her, which may have gone beyond Darwin's original intention of teaching her—Fitney understood Darwin's kindness and was grateful.
This went on for another five days.
"The ground began to turn black. Darwin was not in a good mood today, squatted in front of the clearing, dug up some soil with the small shovel he had with him, put it in the palm of his hand and sniffed it, "It seems that something has polluted them - it is strange, if it causes these plants to die, why do they live so long?"
"Rose May is coming," Fitney remembered something, "there will be no sunrise on the continent for five months, and the whole land will be covered in darkness, perhaps this is a sign - the color of this plant is also beginning to fade, and they should have the ability to protect themselves, but they do not know how they will protect themselves." ”
Rose May, in this world, the rose is not a metaphor for love and beauty, on the contrary, it symbolizes evil and darkness, as a representation of the unusual five sunless months of this world, which make the land pure black, the plants unable to grow, and the fields barren.
The next month was the first month of Rose May, and she hadn't found a way to spend it yet.
She couldn't go without food, drink, and go to town like the summoners did - the important thing was that she had no income, and even if she did, she wouldn't be able to find a place to live. This is the fact that Fitney has to face.
"It's incredible! It's unimaginable, but it's funny!" Darwin didn't have this distress, he just found it funny, "There is no sunlight! Then plants can't grow, how do they deal with this? And how will the magic flow at that time? It's really exciting!"
Fitney was in no mood to answer Darwin, and she began to wonder if there was anything in the plants she had recently known that could be used as material for five months.
Suddenly Fettnay stopped—she heard a small wail, a wail that made her heart tremble, as if she was about to die.
There were daily fights in the forest, mostly between animals, or between some adventurers, but all of Fitnair were rarely seen—and the sound was like some kind of animal—and she stood there in thought, and Xiaobai, who was following behind her, was already running in a hurry.
The human nature of Xiao Bai Tong is simply incredible, and the most recent manifestation is that when he goes out, he does not disturb Fitney's research on the forest at all, but only rolls behind her or catches butterflies.
What did it find? Or rather, it knew the wailing owner.
Fitnair followed him, and walked through a forest, and found the wounded unicorn lying next to an Aesop beech tree.
It was a wonderful creature that was a sight to behold, taller and larger than a horse, with a pure white coat, and the tip of its hair was so special that it seemed to glow from a distance, and the most prominent thing was its horn on the top of its head, which was two feet (equal to feet) long, and its eyes were like crystal crystals, which were very beautiful.
Unfortunately, it should have been praised for having a very obvious wound in one of its legs at this time - it seemed to have been pierced by a weapon such as a spear, which made people feel distressed.
Fitney saw the unicorn clearly—Bai was already beside the unicorn, and the unicorn struggled to lift his neck, and Bai rubbed against its neck, as if trying to comfort it—the unicorn's eyes were full of weakness.
Walking forward, Fitney's arrival did not disgust the unicorn, perhaps it was too weak to be alert - those beautiful eyes blinked, looking at Fitney, although not vigilant or afraid, but still with a trace of curiosity, which made Fitney's heart feel some pity.
"It's so pitiful, who hurt you like this?" Fitney couldn't help but stroke the unicorn's fur - the latter seemed hesitant, but didn't sense the malice in Fitney, and let her do so.
Stroking the unicorn's fur, the unicorn's pure white fur was softer and more comfortable than any fur she had ever seen, and Fitney immediately turned his gaze to its wound, which was shocking to look at, and then looked at its body, the blue-black blood had stained the grass.
At this time, the blood is still pouring out, and if it is too late, it may be due to the dry bleeding and death.
"What a sacred animal!" Darwin soon followed, exclaiming at the sight of the unicorn, "but how could it be so badly wounded?"
The unicorn looked up at Darwin - perhaps the creature was too unique, and it seemed to be able to spot Darwin's presence, much to Fitney's surprise.
"Anyway, save you first......" Fitney said, the lines on the back of her hand gradually revealed, she slowly put her hand over the unicorn's wound, trying to prevent it from struggling due to misunderstanding, she kept comforting it, "Don't worry, I'll save you...... Don't worry, relax and ......"
The unicorn is more human than Xiaobai, and it obediently asked Fitney to put his hand on his wound, and as the line slowly melted away, Fitney pulled his hand out again, and the hideous wound on it was gone.
"Sometimes I feel like it's a miracle. Darwin praised, "These masters are the most powerful powers God has given man." ”
The unicorn also felt the strange change in itself, its eyes lit up little by little, and there was even a hint of surprise - it knew how to express itself so well that it won the favor of Fitney, so that Fitney couldn't help but pat it on the head.
"I've heard you're not a cultist. Fitney was in a good mood at this point, and asked questions that he hadn't asked before.
Darwin fell silent when he heard this, and Fitney thought that what he said hurt the other party, so he apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mention these things, I was just a little curious...... After all, it's a God's world, but everything you say challenges its authority, and in the end you succeed, and this achievement surpasses everything. ”
"These achievements are nothing to me," said Darwin, whose glory in later generations was not fully displayed in his lifetime, or that he did not care about it, "and that is what I wish to do, and that's all, even if I never see Emma again." ”
"Sorry for bringing up your sadness. His wife was a faithful believer rather than his own disbelief in God, and this contradiction created some past events that even Fitney sounded sad.
"Do you want to study the world, Lornay?" Darwin's subject changed suddenly, as suddenly as Fitney's question, and when she heard Darwin's question, she thought for a moment and nodded—although she would have thought she was being clever when she said this, but Darwin was relieved, "That's good." ”
It's like a meaningless episode, and no one knows what this passage portends in the future.
Many years later, the frustrated adventurer met the most famous magician of the time in the Aesop Forest, who was as beautiful as the legend, riding a tall and majestic unicorn, with long white and blond hair up to her ankles - like a goddess or elf in an epic poem.
The adventurer asked her how she could live in a world she didn't like, and she said without thinking.
"Get to know it and make it your own world. ”
