Chapter 281: Forest of Dreams (Part II)
"I don't want to grow up......"
Every child has had the idea that the child's words are incomprehensible to adults, and the world in their eyes is colorful and completely different from that of real adults.
There are always scary demons hidden under the bed, and the black wolf grandmother will come out in the dark, and the story of the dragonfly and the white rabbit will continue tomorrow, and if you sneak and close your eyes, the elf who lives in the boots will help you with the annoying homework, and the reward is only vegetable juice that doesn't taste good at all.
In their eyes, the end of the world or something is just a topic for adults, tonight's lunch is annoying celery, Mary next door bought another rag doll, and Xiao Hei in the blacksmith shop is very annoying and beaten by his father, these "important things" in the children's world are the most important topics.
But children grow up to be adults, and when they become parents, they will joke about the love story of grasshoppers and hamsters they heard about in their childhood, and throw past clay figures and dolls into the storeroom.
Childhood is often beautiful, but people are destined to grow up, and the treasures that used to be kept in the treasure box will eventually even be seen as garbage that occupies a storage place.
But there are people who are destined to have no childhood, such as Amira. Milan.
"Want to ...... playmates"
The craziest personality only comes from a lonely heart, when you find that all the adults around you are filthy thoughts and desires. Hopefully, when even the little friends were puppets sent by adults to compete for interests, the little princess closed her heart and refused to grow up.
"Refuse, refuse, refuse, refuse!"
The girl who hated adulthood erected a heavy wall to protect her heart. Lonely and persistent, living alone in his own fortress realm. If someone insists on approaching. The poisonous thorns would take his life in an instant, and yes, from the very beginning, she was the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty, the princess who spent the long years in her deep sleep.
A qiē originates from the soul, magic is the embodiment of the soul, and the child's fantasy is the most cruel and dreamy, when the years have passed. The little princess returns to the world as a witch, and the fairy-tale dream-like dream forest is Amira's state of mind world and home, but it also reveals her essence.
In the purest coincidence, Amira's body turned into her own fairy tale kingdom, and as the creator, she had a miracle that her wish came true, and then it happened.
"I want my family ......"
The obsession of the past made her disgusted with complex human beings, and simple plants were her best friends who were willing to open her heart, while plants without wisdom were too simple to communicate, and they could not alleviate the loneliness from the bottom of her heart. Thus, the Wood Spirit Clan was born.
"Men are not to be trusted. Adults are not trustworthy either......"
What happened to the adoptive mother and herself (it's all Roland's fault!) is the best commentary, coupled with the lust of men because of their natural abilities. Hope is simply in front of Amira, she has always felt that it is better for men to die, as for women...... When the mask of friendliness and respect was torn open, the jealousy of women made her even more uneasy.
What has always puzzled Roland is that the witch Amira is actually very good to children, especially little girls, but now it seems that only little girls will not have evil thoughts, as for little boys? Thinking that the other party will eventually grow into a stinky man like Roland, Amira has a bit of an urge to feed him to human flowers.
The creator is so willful, but after she mastered the roots of this plane, she had the ability to turn her whimsical ideas into reality, so because of Amira's choice, the real appearance of this race is a girl like Rosa.
The huge plant giant and the tree man more than three meters tall are just the reinforced shells controlled by them, and the real body is buried in the huge torso, and all the girls are ...... The race of the young girls is incredible, but this forest will also become a sacred place in the minds of some people in the future.
When I came into contact with that lake, countless memories and fantasies flooded into my mind, and a gentle voice echoed in my mind, which was the blessing of the Creator to this heaven and earth and its people, and the tenderness and motherhood in the words made people feel warm and comfortable from instinct.
"Children, my first gift is Humility, humble is to make progress, to understand one's own shortcomings, to make up for one's day. As a reward for humility, children, I grant you the wisdom to learn the virtues of other beings, and to absorb the power to evolve yourselves by imitating the unique skills of other lives. ”
The brilliance of blessing echoed over the woodland, and under the blessing of the mother, each wood spirit had the innate ability to learn at high speed.
"My second gift, children, is Charity, and the sweet fruit will be sweeter when shared. And as a reward for the generosity of the Society, I will grant you the ability to figure out your minds, and under My protection, no one will be able to cut off the chain of your hearts. And the forest will be your most trusted ally. ”
For the wood spirits, words are not necessary, they have inherited some of Amira's communication abilities, and the communication with their own clan and plants is enough to evaluate their hearts.
"Children, my third gift is purity, a pure girl does not need the pollution of adulthood, pure love does not need to be defiled by carnal desire, and beautiful love is the sweetest candy. And as a reward for learning chastity, I will grant you eternal self-willfulness in your childhood, and if you are truly captured by the spell of love, and intend to leave the fruit of pure love, you will also be able to abandon the boring relations between the sexes and give birth to offspring in the unique way of the descendants of the forest. ”
I can't comment on this...... Probably someone's cleanliness fetish, and then just studying the reproduction methods of wood spirits has led to countless books.
"Children, my fourth gift is Kindness, please learn to understand the hardships and difficulties of others, blind strife will only lead to more trouble, and peace of mind will make you the real victors. And as a reward for learning to be tolerant, I will bestow upon you the good fortune of the immortal, that no one will be able to snatch your souls from my hands, as long as death is only a brief dormancy under my protection. ”
The war with the undead has proven this, and in this forest, they are truly immortal.
The mystery of the evolution of the wood spirit has been revealed. The Seven Virtues are Emira's soul path. And the blessing from the Seven Virtues allowed her children to evolve to this point in a short period of time.
But at this time, Amira could only complete four blessings. She is not capable of completing the remaining "temperance", "diligence", and "patience", otherwise the Wood Spirit Clan will have become a truly independent and complete race, and there is no need to be trapped in this world.
There is no mother who does not expect her child to be a kind and healthy child, and Amira's open heart has become the best blessing of the Creator, and the wood spirits have grown to this point according to their mother's wishes, and the purpose of summoning me to come is probably to instinctively ask me for help.
“…… It seems that this time it will be a big loss. ”
Gently caress Sleeping Beauty's face. The silky skin is unusually soft, and there are tears in the corners of the eyes, and the weak touch of the crazy witch in the past makes people feel pity unconsciously.
Sit cross-legged by her bed, close your eyes, and open your heart to the world.
From that newly-acquired fantasy I knew what I could do, and now, I would continue with Amira's unfinished racial blessings, so that this nascent race would be free from the mother's offerings, and that it would be truly independent in the world, and that it would even be able to travel in various planes in the near future.
"Temperance? Diligent? Patience? Sorry. I don't have one, Amira. If you wish, I will give my blessings to those children in my own way. It's not enough to just spoil your children, your education method is obviously too extreme, and too pure creations will easily die."
The lake glows a little, and the will of the world that is being connected turns into the light of the roots, and after gaining the authority of the power of creation, and after receiving an approved answer, I give my "blessing", perhaps, it is more appropriate to call it a curse.
"The blessing of temperance? Sorry, I only have a curse called Gluttony, but please don't ignore the help of eating for growth, a strong body is the cornerstone of a qiē. Children, when you accept my gifts, you who have an endless appetite will have the privilege of taking root in the earth, taking the milk of the earth, and devouring other living and non-living things, healing the damage and re-evolving. ”
When the light of the root flickered, the wood spirits who went further on the path of evolution became a little stronger, and there were several more roots and tails on their backs, which were prepared to take root in the earth, and their ugly strengthened shells had dozens of more tentacles, from then on, if a wood spirit was too badly injured, she could take root in the earth and quickly recover herself, as for the accompanying devouring ability, it was regarded as a forbidden killing move that was only allowed to save her life in the near future.
"The blessing of Diligence? Oh, I only have a curse called Sloth here, diligence sounds good, but being too zealous into other people's lives can also cause trouble to others. Don't let others disturb your rhythm, be lazy, you who are accustomed to indifference do not need the approval of others, your will will will be as solid as a rock, there will be no illusions that can hinder your self-improvement, your mind will be as strong as steel, and you can live forever alone. ”
When the Origin Light flickered again, the Wood Spirits' eyes flashed with silver light, and from then on, they would become natural enemies of illusionists and psychic abilities, and they would ignore psychic magic such as silence, fear, and shock.
"The blessing of patience? Hmph, this is what I laugh at the most of all virtues, is patience just a virtue? What I give you is a curse called Wrath. Why should you be able to see it unpleasantly, the ability of the unrighteous is just a kind of connivance, at this time, you should punch it hard! Accept my gift, a blessing from a raging dog. ”
After the source light flickered again, the wood spirits gained the power to strengthen themselves with affection, and spikes for collision also grew on the shell armament, and from then on, the super-level explosion became the patent of the wood spirit clan, and after the brute force from the earth increased again, no life was willing to fight with these seemingly weak little men in close combat.
"By the way, it's time to give you a name...... It's called the wood spirit. The wood of the trees, the spirit of all things. ”
When the seven "blessings" were complete, when the "real name" was determined, and the creation of the "wood spirit" was finally completely completed, the dream forest that was still shining just now suddenly dimmed, and her children were dormant and long-growing, so she went into the night.
"Thank you, our father."
"Wait! Don't call me that, hey, hey, don't sleep, to be clear, you're going to die! ”
But my words were not answered, including that the wood spirits within the Three Virtues were all wrapped in clumps of the forest's suddenly protruding roots, and then slowly dragged underground, and the demonized forest and its inhabitants fell into hibernation, where they would complete their final transformation.
And for me, the work is not yet done, it should be said that the most troublesome has just begun.
Amira opened her heart to grow up with these little guys, but she obviously lacked experience in war-related struggles, and her soul also fell into a deep sleep, so she could only let the wood spirits gradually grow up according to their instincts in battle, but this was obviously a bit slow, and the way of fighting was more dependent on instinct, if it weren't for the immortal body, and the opponent lacked high-level combat power, I am afraid that it would have been captured by the undead army a long time ago.
But the undead are not invincible, and there are hundreds of spells and items for the undead in this plane.
I have seen two old acquaintances, although I have been pressing them back then, but they are all undead lords accumulated for thousands of years, in terms of seniority, they are still my predecessors, nominally they are still my collaborators, the strength is naturally not bad, the strength is not low, plus the undead secret methods we know are countless, our opponents are not easy to deal with.
But who am I? Former Emperor of the Undead, when it comes to understanding the undead class and the undead powerhouse, I definitely don't believe that this world surpasses me, and since Amira has opened up her experience to let these children grow up, I won't be stingy.
All we have to do now is to open our minds, connect with the Wood Spirits, share the past combat experience, and propose to interfere and build on their evolution, or simply improve their combat effectiveness, or carry out targeted reforms to the Undead Legion, although it is unrealistic for the Wood Spirits to evolve again in a short period of time, but there is still a lot of room for improvement in the forest geographical defense line, the demonized plants, the strengthened shell of the Wood Spirit, and the innovation of combat methods and ideas.
“…… You guys are really kind, since the roots of all the trees are on your side, why don't you have a stumbling block that suddenly formed, and don't put key facilities and dwellings on the ground, it's too unsafe, beware of large-scale magic and assassins, how good is the wide underground. ”
"Come, since the other party is an undead, follow me to believe in the Light. Don't worry, you don't need true faith, let me teach you how to fool that divine power server. Come, first of all, learn how to praise the Light and curse the God of Light at the same time."
"Beware of the corrosive breath of the bone dragon, which is simply the natural enemy of plants, so we need to prepare a net specially designed to catch dragons. Although they are huge, they actually have much weaker control over their bodies than living dragons, and their perception is so poor that we can use traps to deal with them. ”
There was too little information about the war in Amira's database, but there was a lot of information on my side, and soon, even in their sleep, the wood spirits who had gained combat experience and information began to propose new construction and plans, and so, in the night, the entire forest began its own evolutionary journey.
I'm afraid that when the undead come here again, they will have a surprise in the face of an opponent who has been completely unrecognizable.
And when I finished this qiē, I also stood up and moved my body, which was already covered with leaves and vines, maybe those stupid children thought that this would prevent a cold.
It seems that I had a good dream, and before I knew it, I still had a smile in the corner of the sleeping sleeping beauty's mouth.
"....... to become a complete plane will, you still need enough sacrifices and soul replenishment, so you still can't wake up now? Well, it seems that soon those sacrifices will be automatically delivered to the door. ”
At the end of the horizon, the pitch-black legions were massing, and by a few estimates, when the forces had been gathered to a certain extent, a new war would break out before dawn.
"Sleep in peace, for the sake of these little things, I will prepare enough sacrifices for you." (To be continued......)
