Chapter 10 Plant Prayers
Fairies are a group of very peculiar beings on the continent of Emissia.
In the law of life designated by the goddess of creation, Arya, there are two bases for the existence of living beings on the continent of Emissia: the collection of spiritual power that entrusts the will of the individual, which can also be called the "soul"; and the vehicle that can seal the interference of the individual will in the world to the physical and material level, as opposed to the soul, collectively called the "body".
Most living beings need their bodies and souls to exist at the same time to be truly alive, but there are also examples of people who can guarantee their existence by relying on only one thing, the most typical is the elemental race among the five genesis clans, the life of the elemental clan is completely dependent on the soul, even if the body is destroyed, as long as the soul is not destroyed, they can convert the spiritual power contained in the soul into magic, repair or even reshape their body.
However, including the elemental race, where the body is only a vassal of the soul, almost all the life on the continent of Emissia will not separate the body and soul under normal conditions, even those ghosts or undead existences, they are not actively separated from each other, but are forced to leave only another existence after losing one of the bodies and souls...... The only exception, however, is the goblins.
The vast majority of goblins, in fact, are essentially the souls of plants - that's right, as creatures on the continent of Emissia, plants certainly have the same soul and body as animals, and the bodies of plants naturally don't need to be said, but the strength of their souls and self-consciousness is often several times lower than that of animals, even those that look very different from animals Carnivorous Vampire Vine and other extremely aggressive plants, don't look at their strength may be stronger than many animals and even use animals as bait, But in fact, their souls are extremely weak, for example, a carnivorous flower that can prey on beasts such as wolves or leopards, its soul power may often be the same as those little white rabbits and sparrows that can be seen everywhere.
However, among these plants with weak souls, there are occasionally one or two mutated plants, and the types of such mutated plants are not qualitative, maybe it may be a bully flower with a strong predatory ability or a medicinal herb that is originally very spiritual and precious, or maybe it is just an ordinary tree or even just a small weed next to the tree, but because of a kind of law that only Arya, the creator god, fully understands the mysteries, it has amazing soul power. This part of the soul power even makes it impossible for the "body" of these plants to contain all of them, so the extra part has to be separated from the body to form an existence with individual wisdom - this is the birth of the goblin.
Since they are a complete gathering of soul spiritual energy, many weak goblins and soul creatures are almost indistinguishable from each other in terms of existence. It's just that when the soul power on the goblin is strong to a certain extent, the goblin can even condense a variety of forms like the elemental family, and because the body is a plant, the goblin is more proficient in the laws of life than the elemental family, so the form condensed by the goblin is often the same flesh and blood as the real life.
The existence of goblins is so peculiar, it is clear that they have the same foundation of existence and the starting point of life as the five races of creation, but because there are too many differences and differences between their individuals, even the goddess of creation Arya, who created this group, has not been able to strictly count them as a "race" and can only be regarded as a group of "extremely similar existences to each other". Similar to the spoof saying "since it is the king of n, there must be n+1 people" in some anime novels, the goblins are in a sense the sixth race in addition to the five creation races - although the definition limit of this "race" is quite vague and ambiguous.
Rococo's original identity is the original goblin, which is the existence that stands at the apex of the existence of the goblin, as the literal meaning, Rococo is the first goblin individual on the plane of the continent of Emissia, and the birth of her plant ontology is the first physical life created by the creator god Arya in this continent plane - the World Tree.
From the perspective of origin and real strength, Rococo in its heyday, its strength is probably second only to the creation god Arya in the order camp of the Eumethia continent, and among the order creatures created by Arya, in addition to the first soul life created at the same time as the World Tree - the oldest and topmost existence of the elemental ancestor of the elemental race, even the six ancestor dragons of the dragon clan, the three ancestors of the beast spirit clan, and the four sages of the elven race, these original super existences of the Genesis, I'm afraid it's not the opponent of the primordial goblin after fusing the power of the World Tree.
However, chaos is the natural enemy of order after all. After Arya fell asleep in order to mend the law, in order to fight the remnants of Chaos, their full-scale invasion of the continent was completely suppressed, and the powerful primordial goblin had to stop the chaos invasion of the continent in order to severely damage the final boss of the chaos forces, the Chaos Roots, and as a result, sacrificed himself in the battle. It is said that extending from the western side of the current world of the continent of Emissia to the center of the continent, the northern continent occupied by chaos is separated from the southern road, which is still under the rule of order, and the U-shaped "U" shaped road that makes the entire continent look like a strait is more of a narrow inland sea, which is actually caused by the earth-shattering Armageddon between the primordial goblins and the root of Chaos.
After learning all this from the database of the NPC system, and looking at the current world map of the continent of Emissia, Rococo was really frightened. However, after reacting that this may be the powerful strength that he may have in the future, Rococo also turned his surprise into joy, and he was a little excited just by imagining it.
However, now she is only limited to thinking, although she was strong enough to change the overall landform of the continent in the past, and in the future, she ...... It's destined to regain that power, but now she's just an NPC village girl.
Since the body of the goblin is not their real "body", and even the soul power of the goblin is not strictly speaking, all of their soul power lies, so even if the body and soul of the goblin are destroyed, as long as the body of the plant that gave birth to it still exists, then after a period of cultivation and recuperation, a new goblin will still be born, but how much memory and power the newborn goblin can inherit from the original individual depends on the previous damage of the original individual can be determined.
The Primordial Elves sacrificed themselves, but the World Tree remained, so the new Primordial Elves were reborn after that earth-shattering battle. It's just that the same death back then really exhausted all the power of the primordial goblin back then, so that the current primordial goblin, that is, Rococo when he was reborn as a village girl, had no memory and self-awareness at all, and even the strength was not left at all except for a strange talent that was a little chicken.
Although it was precisely because of the disappearance of the original elf's sense of self that she, a digital life that had no name, was able to use the name and existence of "Rococo" to intervene in this game world, but Rococo was also a little distressed by the fact that she was once the strongest existence in the world other than the God of Creation, but now she is powerless.
But now, Rococo found that the only remaining talent in her body didn't seem to be really as useless as she thought.
NPC Skill [Plant Blessing]: Able to animate a plant and make it energetic - this is the only skill that the village lady Rococo has now. She has also complained more than once that this is really a very suitable skill for her original status as a flower shop owner in a small town. But now, this humble skill has helped Rococo a lot.
“…… Miss Rococo, thank you so much today. ”
At the door of a delicate western-style mansion full of beautiful flowers in the inner city of the Radiant King City, Rococo was politely sent out by an old man wearing a butler uniform that seemed simple but the fabric was definitely not cheap.
"Madame is really happy to see those sapphire moonflowers rejuvenated."
"Where, I just did what I could, and I would like to thank Madame for giving me three gold coins, which I need now."
Rococo replied with a pleasant smile that didn't have any playful component.
Before, in the Adventurers' Guild, she saw the Countess's troubled commission, and immediately found this place. Although she couldn't get the corpse of the Ice Blue Salamander to make flower fertilizer, if the Countess just wanted to ensure the vitality of the Sapphire Moon Wheel Flower before finding the Ice Crystal Magic Stone, then she with the [Plant Invoker] skill would definitely have a better effect than using the corpse of the Ice Blue Salamander to make flower fertilizer.
As she expected, seeing that those blue moon-ring flowers had recovered after some fiddling with her (in fact, they were just doing it by the way when using skills), the temperamental countess was happy and directly gave her 3 gold coins that were far higher than the reward for the task of collecting the corpses of the ice blue salamanders, and even wanted to keep her as the chief gardener of the Earl's Court with a high reward.
Therefore, it is true that they are aristocrats who spend a lot of money, and for ordinary commoners, they may be limited to gold coins that they have seen but may not have the opportunity to use in person, but these nobles can give them away as a reward for a few pots of flowers.
"Do you really no longer consider accepting Madame's terms, Miss Rococo?"
"No, thank you for sending me here, Mr. Butler, as I told Madame, I still have something to do, and I won't stay here in the Radiant King City for too long."
With that, Rococo said goodbye to the old butler with a regretful face, and then walked briskly in the direction of the Adventurers' Guild in the civilian area of Wangcheng.
"Great, Xiao Ke, now we have more than 4 gold coins~"
Alia, who had been in the Earl's Court before and had not been very sensible enough to make trouble, finally spoke up at this moment, and her little face was sincerely happy that Rococo was able to raise funds for a teleportation fee of close to 5 gold coins so quickly.
"yes, it's going better than expected."
Rococo said, showing a trademark smile on her beautiful face - although she looks like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, but perhaps because Rococo is a digital life that has received unimaginable information on the Internet, even if she is in a happy mood, she will not be as happy as an ordinary young girl, showing such a light smile is already a sign that she is in a good mood.
Very good, very good, there are only about 50 silver coins left, as long as you can find some slightly easier commissions from the adventurers' guild to complete, the cost of the journey to the Holy City is enough.
"Then again, Xiao Ke, I noticed that you will have little dimples on your face when you laugh......"
“…… So what? ”
"It looks so cute~!"
"Uh, don't, don't poke me in the face, weird ......"
