Chapter 19: My Neighbor Totoro: I am the embodiment of life, bathed in death!
This is a world surrounded by endless green shimmers, except for the things that appear in the light of this gentle green, all that can be seen is endless black, void, empty and lonely, empty......
It's a space that doesn't yet grow, it lacks some of the necessary elements of common sense, there is no sunlight, there is no change of time, there is only pure things that are growing, whether it is the grass, or the large woods, all of them are just growing, growing before they are born......
And what is the thing that drives them to grow, what is the source is the blood of this carrier, it is its aura, it is the vitality, it is the whole, without reservation, the vitality is used to nourish this Vientiane, to nourish this nature, to make a forest born, to make what is contained in it grow......
And this carrier is the spirit of nature, the real and only duty is to give birth to fantastic things, the meaning of their birth is to die out, only to give birth to life, to reproduce, but to give, nothing else, this is its meaning......
……
"Once, when I was searching for magic, searching for the wisdom and truth lost in the Atlanta period, I saw some fragments of ruins, and what was described in them was the study of the Forgotten Forest, after all, it is the strangest place in the world, so the exploration of the Forgotten Forest has never been stopped. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Wales said calmly, and at the same time, put down the note he was holding, looked at the forest, listened to the roar that came slowly from a distance, paused for a moment, and then continued to speak to the flower shadow who was looking at him.
"The Forgotten Forest is so large that it runs through the whole world, and as the main part, it directly divides the East and the West, and even the legend says that Elijah in the far north is surrounded by the Forgotten Forest, and there is no break between them. Some are only, like the branches in the kingdom of Tibaitha. ”
"That's right, it's not just the division of the entire continent, it's not the slightest bit of severance. Even the branches that split off can shade a continent, and more than 90% of the forests in this world are forgotten forests, and what is even more incredible is that this forest is still expanding. ”
If so, there are those who have explored the question of how this forgotten forest will grow. Countless scholars are buried in this most mysterious situation, but they still have not come to any concrete conclusions, of course, some things that are only a few words, there will still be. ”
And in it is said that this forest of oblivion actually has life, not the life that is born in it, but the forest has life, some kind of will. Maybe it's the unity of the will of the living creatures, maybe it's the so-called Holy Spirit in the forest, and it's also said that it's the will of the goddess...... Wait a minute. ”
The conclusion was that the forest was growing spontaneously and expanding itself, but no one had any opinion on the key to it, and the two scholars who came to this place were also the parents of the little girl. That's what is going on. ”
As he spoke, Wales raised his hand and stroked the note on the table beside him, as if he were treating some treasure, and heard Wales's words. Huaying frowned slightly, and also looked at the sky in the distance, and the long night full of stars, and slowly asked.
"So, is the tanuki the key to this process? Isn't it a messenger of some land, the embodiment of death, but just a spirit of nature? ”
"That's true. Although, strictly speaking, this is not the case. ”
"However, if this is the case, it has a dead aura lingering on its body, to the extent that ordinary people will die if they touch it......"
"That's right, I guess, that's the main reason why those two scholars died......"
Hearing Flower Shadow's conclusion that was completely based on feeling, Wales just nodded, indicating affirmation, and Flower Shadow continued to speak, and at this time, what she was talking about was something she had heard a long time ago, and as she spoke, her lilac eyes also looked at the man in front of her......
"I've heard from my companions before that there is an unproven, but definite theory, that is that death and life are the same thing, but it's hard to transform them......"
……
"K-"
The sound of a dragon's sword drawing spread, accompanied by an incomparably sharp sword breath, and in the blue light lingering, the ground was sliced open, as if the whole earth had been cut, and it parted to both sides, revealing the scene under the earth, as if it were a moat.
"Found it~"
As this sharpness dissipated, the blonde-haired young mage looked at it carefully, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he made a declaration calmly, and following behind the master, Chihaya, who was still unclear, also poked his head and looked into the ravine......
"Huh?!"
I only saw the brown earth illuminated by the green glimmer in the darkness, and in addition, the same black mist that was difficult for ordinary people to see could not be seen clearly rolled in it, floating, constantly decreasing, and when it rose to a distance from the surface of the earth, it completely turned into another breath, a vitality......
"In other words, this big tanuki is absorbing the dead qi from the outside world and then transforming it into life to give birth to this forest?! Is this really possible?! ”
"Ah, this is indeed something that I haven't heard of yet, but now it seems that this is the truth, and it is also the truth of this so-called big tanuki, as well as the green fireflies I saw before......"
The master sighed, but the whole person looked a little serious at this time, just because he was a magician, and because he knew a lot more than the rest, he could think of more things, and he had more emotions......
"I know how to get out now, what do you think?"
After a long while, the master spoke like this, and after hearing this, Chiaki and Chihaya also glanced at each other before turning their heads, looking at him, and responding.
"Do you need to talk about that? Of course, let's go out first~"
"Although I always feel that you really want to stay here a little longer, brother, this time, I have the same opinion as this guy!" (To be continued.) )
