Chapter 261: The Roots Emerge
"Please help me......" A girl's call came from the void directly opposite Ning An.
The concept of time is not very clear to Ning An, he doesn't know how long he has been hanging upside down, he used to hear that people are prone to brain charging when they are hanging, although there will be no problem with hanging upside down for a short time, but God knows how long he has been hanging.
Okay, it was a hallucination before, and now it's an auditory hallucination. Ning An thought in his heart, would he have the reaction of these ordinary people even if he was a wizard? Then he laughed at himself, although he was a wizard, his body was still no different from most Muggles, and he was not a werewolf or a vampire......
Just when he thought he was hallucinating, the girl's voice came back to him, "Please...... Can you help me......"
This time, the voice was clearer, as if it was said next to Ning An's ear, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, Ning An even felt a hot breath, with the fragrance of the grassland.
He stopped thinking nonsense, frowned and thought for a while, according to his previous speculation, in his previous life, or many lives ago, he was the crow named "Fokin" on Odin's shoulder, and it is unknown whether Odin is a so-called god or a very powerful wizard.
Mi may know some truth, but Ning An has an intuition in his heart that tells him that only by coming here and hanging his body upside down can it be possible to retrieve some memories of the past and understand the ins and outs of things.
But after such a long time, Ning An did not get a memory of Odin or Fokine in his mind, although during the time he observed the world backwards, he could feel the difference from before, and some magical things did happen, such as his vision seemed to extend infinitely to the outside world, but he didn't know whether the various scenes he saw, including his own men, Voldemort, Harry, and even the world beyond the Veil, were real or imaginary illusions in his mind.
This can be verified, and he still remembers the scene of the conversation between Samantha and Pani vividly, and he can know the truth by going back to check with them, which is also one of the things that Ning An prepared for himself in his heart if he finds nothing this time, and plans to do when he goes back.
But in any case, since he was hoisted, there has not been a second creature here, let alone a girl who can talk, and asked him for help, help? He's hanging here now, how can he help?
But after thinking about it again, Ning An still planned to open his mouth to deal with it, seeking these mysterious powers was a matter of few clues for Ning An, and there was nothing to do if he was hung here anyway.
Besides, why did the other party not show up yet, why the voice could seem to come from his ears, Ning An was also very interested, so he said calmly to the void in front of him:
"Who are you? Why don't you even show your face if you need my help, but the way I am now, I'm afraid it won't help you. β
After saying this, Ning An couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, thinking that if this was his own auditory hallucination, it would be enough shame to put himself in the perspective of a third party and talk to himself like this to the air, although there is not even a second person here, let alone a third person.
But what he didn't expect was that less than three seconds after Ning An's voice fell, there was a change in front of him.
Vapor began to steam in the void, and Ning An watched wisps of white smoke rise from the empty place, then turn into fog, and then turn into rain, and land on the grass below his head, and the whole process was only a few seconds.
The next moment, as if there was a crisp sound of "pop", a small opening opened in the ground, and a verdant green bud came out of it, like the seed of a tree.
This kind of seed began to grow as soon as it sprouted, and it became bigger and taller under Ning An's eyelids, which made him involuntarily think of the fairy tale of the famous "magic bean", and think of the magic vine that can grow to the clouds, and muttered in his heart that it won't really grow so tall.
As if hearing Ning An's heart, the seeds soon stopped growing, and looked at the height in front of Ning An's upside-down head, and then began to silently sprout, become leaves, and the leaves turned green in the blink of an eye, and soon bloomed, like a magical magic show.
But this is not too surprising to Ning An, he is a wizard, this method of ripening is not impossible, Professor Snape and Professor Sprout have potions that make tree species germinate and bear fruit quickly, and they are suitable for all kinds of magical plants.
What really made Ning An feel incredible and amazed was actually the water vapor that came out of thin air at the beginning, Ning An couldn't understand how water could appear from the void, and even if this kind of seed was not buried early in the morning, it couldn't explain why it sprouted, and if it was buried in advance, why it would be right under his head.
This kind of magic like a void creation is what Ning An really feels incredible, of course, if this is another illusion, it will be a different matter.
The whole process was extremely short, and it didn't take more than a minute in total, just when Ning An looked at the delicate red flower that was budding from the middle of the green leaves and thought it was over, the mutation regenerated, and the petals of the red flower slowly spread out in all directions, revealing the appearance of the inside.
Inside was not the stamens of the plant, and at the moment in the middle of the package of petals sat a lady, a lady the size of a palm.
Ning An felt that his hallucinations were too outrageous, he didn't know if the person in front of him could be called a lady, although she was wearing a red dress with long support skirts, her long black hair was coiled high behind her head, and she was sitting upright among the stamens, but she was facing a face with no facial features.
It's like a painter who is half of his painting in a hurry, busy with something else, and forgetting to paint the eyes, nose, and mouth of the figure, Ning An is a little uncomfortable to see.
As if seeing Ning An's uneasiness, a circle of ripples appeared on Ms. Slap's white paper-like face, and then it turned into Hermione's face, which was quiet with a hint of horror, and Ning An was even more uncomfortable to watch.
Why do you have this hallucination, is it now asleep, in a dream? This dream is really a little scary with unknown meaning.
"Don't you like it, I'm sorry, I'll change it then-" Before Ning An could speak, Hermione's face disappeared, as if she had thrown a pebble into the calm lake, and the water rippled, and Daphne's face floated.
Ning An's face was strange, and she felt that this dream was really strange, and the lady in front of her seemed to be able to sense her mind, Daphne's horse face disappeared, turning into Umbridge's toad face, staring at Ning An with round / gu/drum eyes.
"Sorry, I'm not sure about your aesthetic preferences, but this can change." Umbridge became Professor McGonagall, Snape, and a Muggle actress again......
"It's okay, it's okay." Ning An hurriedly stopped the other party, he didn't care what the other party's face had become now, he just wanted to end this weird and bizarre dream.
The palm-sized lady stayed on the face of a girl that Ning An had never seen, and seeing that Ning An didn't seem to be entangled in this, she didn't change anymore.
"Who are you?" Ning An asked bluntly, since it was a dream, it was natural to make it clear, and if you figured it out, you could wake up, and Ning An also had room in case this was not a dream, but something that really happened, so it was necessary to find out who this person was no matter what.
The lady sat upright in the stamen, and Ning An's perspective was upside down, which naturally looked weird, but fortunately, he was a little used to it during this time.
"I can't explain who I am yet, I have many names, but if I had to say a more accurate ...... I want to think about it......" She lowered her head and pondered for a while, then slowly raised her head and looked at Ning An as if she was a little embarrassed and said:
In your context, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call me "Earth". β
"Earth?" Ning An couldn't help but sneer, this dream is really getting more and more outrageous, for wizards, Odin or something is quite reasonable, but such a palm-sized woman actually said that she herself is the earth, which makes Ning An hard to believe.
The lady lowered her head, it seemed that even she felt embarrassed, this real feeling made Ning An a little embarrassed, and he gradually stopped thinking that this was a dream or something, and wanted to open his mouth to comfort the depressed girl.
"You say...... You are the earth, but is there anything you can prove, I know that the earth is the planet that lives under our feet, are you sure that what you said is the same concept as what I said? β
Seeing Ning An say this, the lady seemed to have a little hope, she immediately raised her head, and said nervously and eagerly: "Yes, yes, I'm sure it's a concept." β
Then she thought for a moment, and said with some hesitation and tentativeness: "I know what is happening around you, I often follow you, although I also pay attention to other things, but I have been watching you recently. β
As if afraid that Ning An would not believe it, the "Earth Lady" continued to say without panting: "In 1991 A.D., you came to this world, and I have been paying attention to this matter, so after I noticed that you were coming, I returned the power to you as soon as possible. β
Ning An's heart tightened, and he understood that things were a little troublesome. Regardless of whether the palm-sized "lady" in front of her is the so-called "earth" she herself said, she can no longer look at it with common sense, and the guy who can clearly say the words "come to this world" can't help but be uneasy.
At present, it seems that there are only three possibilities, the first is that everything in front of him is Ning An's own hallucinations and dreams, so it is not strange to have such a goblin-like villain and say something that Ning An himself knows.
Second, it's not a hallucination, but what the little man says is false, she's not "earth" but something else.
And the third is that what she said is true, this is not an illusion, the little person who appeared in front of her and blossomed and grew is really the earth.
Ning An speculated in his heart that the first hypothesis had become more and more impossible with the passage of time, and he had subconsciously explained some unreasonable phenomena for himself by hypothetical hallucinations, but when the facts were in front of him, and he became serious and noticed his waking state, he was basically sure that this would not be a dream.
Ning An is a master of receptive thoughts, and he can tell whether he is in a dream or a hallucination, as long as he is serious, he can still do it.
And the second, if this villain is not the kind of identity she said, then what will it be, Ning An does not believe that there will be such a terrible soothsayer among wizards, this is beyond the scope of divination, neither astrology nor divination can be accurate to such an extent, as if he has watched himself pass through.
This incomprehensible ability instead makes the third possibility, that is, the possibility that she is the earth, according to this lady, the greatest and most plausible.
Ning An couldn't make a decision for the time being, so he decided to communicate more with the other party and get more information to assist in his judgment.
ββ¦β¦ You organized some students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and you took them to learn magic in that magical room...... Went to Germany ......"
In just a while, this "Earth Lady" had already told Ning An's experience like a cannonball, and those who didn't know thought that she had been by Ning An's side from beginning to end.
This made Ning An himself very shocked in his heart, even when Mimir said that he was Odin and said that he was Fujin before, he didn't have such a shock, those were vague and hazy hints, but the villain in front of him couldn't describe it more accurately.
"Okay, so you said you wanted me to help you, I don't know how I can help?" Ning An looked at the other party and said calmly: "As you can see, I am hanging here upside down now, I don't know if I can receive anything this time, even if I break free, I am just a wizard, according to what you said, if you are really carrying many lives under our feet...... Words of the Earth...... I can't think of anything a little wizard can do for you. β
"You're not a little wizard, you're the only one who has access to the Source so far." Lady Earth hurriedly shouted.
"What is the source?" Ning An didn't understand and asked, he believed the words of the villain in front of him a little, the other party said his experience in too much detail, which is something that human beings can't do at all, although the identity of the other party is too unbelievable, but it is also in line with the unbelievable things she can do.
"The source is the origin of this planet, the root, this is here, it is me, it is everything you see now." The lady's voice became serious and solemn, although it was only the size of a palm, but when she talked about this topic, she suddenly revealed a majesty:
"You are now in the Sourceβand only those who come to the Source can see me."
Ning An frowned, and faintly grasped a line in his mind, as if he had figured it out a little.
"What's beneath the source?" He changed the subject and seemed to ask an irrelevant question.
But the little earth's eyes lit up, and he said to Ning An appreciatively: "You got the idea, under the source, there is the river." β
"The wizard is also in the river?" Ning An didn't hesitate to think this time, and asked directly.
"Yes, everything is in the river."
Ning An nodded, he had some thoughts, and then the Earth Lady looked at him as if she had understood, and asked with a little surprise, "You understand?" β
