Chapter 18: The Return
The moment Gray's fingers touched the key, a ray of light shot from the surface of the key and into her brow. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Ash!"
"Master!"
Pink Jingjing and Sigma shouted at the same time, but after seeing that the gray eyes were only slightly in a trance, they regained their clarity.
"I'm fine."
She rubbed Pink Crystal's little head.
In just a few seconds, her mind was filled with a lot of content.
This key activates the hub of the city, which is not a city under the sea, but a city in the sky that floats in the sky!
The fragments that were stuffed into her mind were very fragmentary, and Ash only saw the escape of the people of the Sky City, the scene of the city falling into the sea, and did not know the cause and effect.
But she knew that only this key could really open the city hub and activate the whole city. And those who don't have this key, no matter how much they find and destroy, can't control the city.
She lay quietly at the bottom of the sea, waiting for the day to return to the sky.
The energy left over from the city can last for five or six years, and if no one replenishes the city's energy and activates it during this time, then the sea on top of the city will break through the barrier, and the only thing waiting for her is to become a ruin in the sea.
Ash clenched the key in her hand, she didn't know why Mumu gave it to her, and she didn't know why Mumu had such a key, but for her, it was indeed a hot potato.
If you don't use it, let such a city be destroyed, not to mention that Pink Jingjing will definitely not want to know it, she also likes this mysterious city in her heart.
But with it, she didn't have the power to protect her, and she wasn't sure it would restore her to her former glory.
Quietly putting away the key, Ash finally decided to take it one step at a time.
But if there is a chance in the future... Such a city, even if it is not her, can be handed over to people she trusts.
Mu Mu after the key in Ash's hands. It's peace of mind.
No matter what the humans in front of him would do with the city, he believed her.
"Mumu, aren't you going with us?
Mu Mu shook his head and rejected Pink Jingjing's proposal, he just wanted to let the tree people who had been with him for many years go out. According to the knowledge he inherited, being a tree man has never been bathed in the sun and received real fresh air, which is very detrimental to their development.
Before leaving, Pink Jingjing's worried and surprised appearance was still reflected in Mu Mu's crystal circuit, making his energy core feel warm.
He still had a lot to do, he needed to turn off the activated teleportation array after the other humans left. to prevent anyone else from breaking in. Or recount the materials left over from the city.
The city is a responsibility left to him by the owner, and he has a mission to protect it. So he couldn't leave until she actually woke up.
Mu Mu silently watched as a group of people stepped into the light door and disappeared. It took a long time before he turned and left.
"I'll be back."
Ash's last words seemed to be still echoing.
Mu Mu thought that he could continue to wait until the day when the human returned.
To their surprise, the exit of the portal was actually at the bottom of the sea, looking down. You can also faintly see the outline of the city in the sea.
And upward, you can see not only the seawater, but also a glittering band like golden and silver grains of sand. The band covered the entire stretch of seawater visible to the naked eye, like a detached band, separating the sea from what was wrapped in the band of light.
Some small fish shuttled through the shining band, and some of them were not saltwater fish. It was a freshwater fish, and with a guess in mind, she swam towards the glitter.
Magic is magical. The magic of ancient times is even more unimaginable, that golden and silver ribbon of light actually connected a lake with this sea. Through the band of light, Ash returns to a lake in the forest where they had met Alice.
Ash released the treemen from the ring, and fifteen small stumps appeared on the grass in an instant.
They get together. At first, I didn't realize that I was changed to a different environment, and I closed my eyes one by one to recuperate. Or small leaves and twigs are intertwined with each other and talking.
It wasn't until the sun suddenly shone on them that they straightened their little bodies and widened their eyes one by one.
"Hey, this is the outside!"
Pink Jingjing excitedly introduced, "Look, this is a real green meadow!" The sun overhead, and all of these, are big trees, and the blue one in front of them is the lake. ”
"Green grass is the most tenacious, as long as there is a little soil, a little water droplets can take root anywhere."
"The sun is the most kind, releasing its own light to shine on others, warm, hot, not stingy at all."
"These big trees are so strong, I don't know how many years they have grown, and every green leaf is healthy and healthy, and the green makes people happy."
Pink Jingjing introduced with a smile, and the thin cicada wings flapped extremely fast, turning in a circle on the top of the small stump.
"There is also the blue lake, which is where we came out just now, there are small fish and shrimp in it, there are so many and so many, it's fun to watch."
The little stumps turned their heads to watch and observe one by one as she spoke, and the small leaves above their heads were blown by the breeze, and the warm wind seemed to blow all the way to their hearts. The kind of ventilation that is different from the ventilation in the city that has been closed all the time, but has a fresh smell with a faint smell of grass, which makes them new and itchy in their hearts.
There is an impulse to let them run on this green meadow, and there is something strange that can't wait to break through the ground.
Instinctively, the rhizomes under the feet of the little stumps stretched out and plunged into the soil.
The feeling of really taking root for the first time, the feeling of really absorbing nutrients for the first time, makes these little stumps tremble comfortably. In just a few minutes, I saw several small stumps grow a few tender leaves on the branches, and a small flower popped out of one of the heads with a "snap", which made Pink Jingle clap his hands.
Sigma couldn't get used to these "healthy and uplifting" pictures, and wanted to be sarcastic with evil voices, but taking into account his master's love for Pink Jingjing, he sulked for a long time, so he had to tilt his head and treat it as out of sight.
But when it came to it, he always thought these little tree people who looked like little tree stumps were strange. I can't remember anything about them in my memory. Could it really be that he was mistaken, what kind of new variety is not successful?
Ash released the Eye of the Dead to search for traces of Chelray and the others, while he guarded the small tree stumps that comfortably soak up the sun. Pink Jingjing stayed on her shoulder, chattering about the changes in the small restaurant these days, and did not forget to stroke her gray hair as she spoke.
"Ash, ash, I'll help you break your braids!"
Pink Jingjing had a whim, but Sigma scoffed, "Just use your little body?" Don't mess up your master's hair. ”
"Hmph, I want you to take care of it."
Pink Jingjing straightened her small chest. It's bound to impress Sigma. I think she's also a fairy of flowers and plants, and some basic magic is not weak!
She let go of the gray hair that had been tied up and pulled a few silky strands of hair. There was a lot of interest in his eyes.
"Gray your hair is beautiful!"
Pink Jingjing praised, and summoned seven or eight grasses to the ground with one hand, and after a few droplets of water floated on the blades of grass and wiped back and forth, the grass was inserted into the gray hairline one by one, like a ribbon supporting the hair.
Ribbons wrap around tufts of hair. Intersecting each other, it is like gray hair flying out of thin air with the help of green grass, and it seems to be hooked and braided by a pair of invisible hands, so that the gray hair is smoothly wound together to form beautiful braids.
As a beauty-loving and ingenious elf, the craft is top-notch. But for a moment, the intricate entanglements and the unfinished exquisite braids stunned Sigma, who also likes delicate things. I itched my hand in my heart again.
Pink Jingjing has a good temperament, and she doesn't care about Sigma's sneer at her at all, she listens to Sigma's opinion very carefully, and the two of them fly in the air together, directing the grass to braid the gray hairstyle here and there.
"Add a pigtail here."
"Don't. The gray temperament is not suitable for that hairstyle, so it's as simple as that. ”
"Just kidding. How do you know if you don't try? The host is so beautiful and has a good hairstyle! ”
"Where do you boys know this, listen to me."
Pink Jingjing and Sigma were talking together, but the movements under their hands never stopped. She hadn't been so relaxed for a long time since she had run to this strange place, and there were deep dimples on her little face, which were so cute.
Chere ran wildly all the way, and when he came to the lake, he saw such a quiet and warm scene from a distance, and he couldn't help but brake and slow down.
Although the woman sitting by the lake was expressionless, the breath around her was calm and soft. Her gaze looked at the small stump of the tree stuck in the green space, as if she was half-squinting to recuperate, and there was a little more laziness in her demeanor, and a little less of her usual toughness, as if the eagle who had been stiffening her back and being hostile to people suddenly slowed down her sharp eyes and stretched out the feathers all over her body.
Cheray's heart beat violently at first, and then kept speeding up, and his eyes were even more greedy for a moment.
As if sensing the approach of others, the woman tilted her head slightly, and then her eyes widened slightly when she saw the visitor, and her expression softened, raising a smile of genuine joy.
That smile is so gorgeous, it's not real!
Chelley stopped at his feet until he pinched himself hard and was convinced that he was not dreaming.
He's not mistaken... A smile like the ash... So defenseless, with a faint affectionate smile... Is it against him?
There's no phantom array around, right? There are no plants that can spew spores to cause hallucinations, right?
Cheley swallowed the saliva in his mouth, he likes Ash, and he is really attracted to the other party, even if he tells himself to protect Ash, and tells himself not to expect Ash's love, there is still a trace of hope in his heart, hoping to get Ash's response.
But when Ash responded to him and really expressed an obvious expression to him, he panicked and hesitated.
But this emotion only existed for only a few seconds before it was completely annihilated, and the ecstasy of disbelief overwhelmed him!
