22- Neat and lies
"Since you've decided to bring back the light to the sacred tree." Winnie took Will's hand and flew up, "Follow me," and Wille stood up. Follow the girl to the foot of the statue.
Winnie flew to the edge of the waterhole and held a puddle of water in both hands. "Come here."
Wiel approached and picked up a handful of water as she did.
"Now, we're watering the trees."
Without asking any more questions, Ver came to the sacred tree with the water in his hand, and there were not a few drops of water left in his hand.
Together with Winnie, pour the only water in your hand on the sacred tree.
"Read with me, the sacred tree surrounded by the stars and souls."
"The sacred tree surrounded by star spirits," Wiel said.
"Give us life, give us clear rivers, give mountains green."
Wiel looked up at the sacred tree, "Give us life, give us clarity, give mountains green." ”
"I stand before you, and may my soul be guided by you."
"I stand before you, and may my soul be guided by you." Will turned her head to look at Winnie.
Winnie's eyebrows were lowered, and her long silver hair fluttered in the breeze around her waist. Holding hands together, the breeze blowing through the valley made the sun on Winnie's face more holy.
Wiel felt that the splendor around the sacred tree was more like substance. Gradually, Vere noticed that the lines of his right hand lit up, brighter and brighter, brighter and brighter, and the light spread to his arm and to his whole body. Then it fades away.
Vere watched in amazement at what had happened to her. "What is this?"
"Guidance from the Sacred Tree."
"Guidance from the Sacred Tree?" Will showed a black question mark face.
"When you are in the darkness, it will guide you on the way back. When you are lost, it will lead you forward. The corners of Winnie's mouth twitched.
"Well, road signs and maps?"
sighed helplessly, "It's really ruining the atmosphere." Winnie said to Vere, "Yes! That's right! If you think so. ”
"Well, what does it tell me?"
"Come back to the white line, show the white light."
Wei Er, who listened carefully, was stunned for a moment, "Suddenly so concise, a little unaccustomed." ”
"Questions?" Winnie pursed her lips with a look of displeasure. "Yes." "Huh?!"
"Why do you have to pick up the water just now and decorate it with a bottle? Why should you water a stone tree? Didn't you say what kind of star soul it nourishes? I'm done. ”
Winnie left Vere with a roll of the eye.
With a chuckle, Weir bowed slightly, "It's over?" ”
Winnie flew to Wille's side, "It's over, the barrier of the sacred tree won't stop you, well, I didn't look at it carefully." ”
"See what?"
"You're dirty." "Eh" Wille's face was sweating profusely from under his beard.
Turning around, he flew towards the tallest three-story building, which had collapsed in half. "Come on, I think there's something here."
"I'll wash it first, where is the ~ going?" White-eyed Wille followed, "Wait for me." ”
In a short time the two came to the largest building in the valley, half intertwined with vines, half standing as Wiel had seen in the valley. It's just that the plants growing on the building are more lush.
"Winnie, you come out first, I can't get in." Wille stood outside, pushed half of the door with his hand, and was surprised to see the girl in front of him turn into a streamer and burrow into the building through the crack.
"Wait a minute, I'll find ...... in a minute," the voice came from within, fading into obscurity.
Will sat outside and waited for a while, his body relaxed, "It's safe to drive here." At the very least, there should be no beasts. The sun was warm on him, and Wille began to nod unconsciously.
"Come here, Wiel." At the top of the building, Winnie's shout could be heard from a window.
"Oh, here it is." Vere walked to the clearing under the window.
"Next!" Winnie slipped the clothes she found from the house through the windows and through the gaps in the trees.
"Where did you find that?" From below came the voice of Veel.
Turned into a streamer and appeared downstairs. Will was bending down to pick up the clothes on the floor, "There are a few wardrobes in the house that are still in good condition, and the clothes inside are not damaged. You put it on first, I don't know the size. ”
"Wait a minute, I'll wash it first." Wiel took his clothes and looked at himself. "You're right."
Ver turned and walked towards the water source. "Hey, where are you going?" "Go and wash, don't come with you, men and women don't kiss." "You can't go to the holy pool under the stone carving!" Wiel turned, "Wash over there." Winnie pointed to the river, which was lined with lush vegetation.
When Wiel came to the river, he was supposed to wash in the pool under the statue, but Winnie sternly refused, and said that he would wait for him in the little stone house.
Taking off his thatched armor, Weir noticed that the muscles on his body were noticeable, "Well, they're all thin." ”
"It's been a long time since I've taken a bath, eh~ Is there flint in this water? Good guys, that's a shame. "Vere drew a few branches, and stoned one end of the branch to rub it on his back." Hey, if only I had a razor, I'll wipe it. ”
Feeling empty in his hands and empty in his feet, he almost fell into the river, "What's the matter?" ”
Poof, the sound of falling water caused Wille to turn his head and find an old stone face-dressing knife in the water falling downward.
“!” Surprised, Wille looked at his hands, then at his mind, grabbed two flints, and brought two branches, "Razor!" "A razor similar to that of the river appeared in his hand." This, this, this. What's going on?! ”
Excitedly looked at the tools in his hand, "My ability is finally good." ”
After some washing, Wille climbed ashore and sat down on a flat stone, "When my power is used, I can do a lot of things!" Vere was excited, and when he was dry, he put on his clothes.
"It's a bit big, it's really strange, how can such a small star spirit have such a big clothes, who is it for?" Confusion flashed, and Wille spun around in his clothes and walked away. "It's okay. Finally, there was a piece of clothing to wear, and it turned out that the thatched armor was so piercing. ”
"Washed? Well, it looks good. Winnie looked at Vere as she walked by, her checkered blouse had a false sleeve, and the pants on her legs were a little piled up, but the dark brown wood pattern made Vere look more slender, and the whole person was in a lot of energy.
"Your beard and hair are too messy, I'll fix it for you," Winnie said, flying over to a chair, "Come in." ”
Will sat down on the stool and exhaled deeply. Winnie's voice rang out, "Uh, Will, do you have any scissors or anything like that?" ”
Without speaking, Vere took the razor from his bosom and handed it to Winnie with one hand. "Where did you get this?" Winnie said, a cloud of water gathered on her hands, wetting her beard and hair, which were already dry.
Will stared at the water balloon in her hand, "Will you summon water?" "That's all there is to it, it's okay to drink saliva and wash your face." Slowly using a facial knife to clean Will's beard and hair.
"Can you teach me?" "You won't? Oh, yes. "Thank you."
……
"Thank you" "What are you thanking me for?" "It's nice to have someone to talk to me." "Don't move" "Hmm. ”
After a while, Winnie stopped what she was doing, "It's much better, ...... Willy" Winnie, who flew in front, saw that Wille had her eyes closed, her breathing evenly, and she was already asleep.
Winnie stared at Vere's face, "You're really tired, why shouldn't I thank you." Gently putting down her tools, Winnie exited the room.
Winnie came outside and flew under the sacred tree.
"It turns out that the deception feels so sad...... I'm sorry Will, that's all I can say. Winnie leaned towards the sacred tree and said to herself, "Actually, it's not just that the sacred tree is about to wither, but the Star Spirit Clan may have ......."
Winnie, who was talking to herself, vented the fear in her heart, "I, who is only the star soul left, barely woke up from the water of life, what happened before, who am I?" I can't remember why I'm just a star spirit, but I do know that the star spirits must have experienced a great disaster. ”
Winnie's eyes showed a sad look, "I am no longer a complete star spirit, I can only move under the nourishment of the sacred tree. Holding himself tightly, his small body trembled slightly, "I also want to find the answer to all these mysteries by myself, but once I go out, it will dissipate, no, I can't get out at all, I... There is no way. I can only rely on you, the chosen one. ”
"The power of the sacred tree is running out." Winnie looked to the edge of the barrier, and night was already in the valley. "He's my only hope, he's not going to let me down, I trust him."
"I can only trust him."
The sacred tree behind him still glowed, but it grew dimmer.
