Chapter 49: Being and Nothingness
"Drink water, brother, this is the honey I picked myself, hehe~"
A cup with a sweet aroma was placed in front of Shen Yan, and Michelle looked at him happily, with a smile full of emptiness. Shen Yan smiled, although you can fly, the honey must still be picked by bees, I am a countryman, you can't fool me.
However, it was not this that made Shen Yan care, but ...... His outstretched hand went to take the cup, but it passed through it without hindrance, as if it were holding a phantom. He could see the rippling golden liquid, smell the tantalizing sweetness, but he couldn't pick it up and drink it in his mouth anyway.
The entire elven kingdom, whether it was trees, buildings, tables, chairs and benches, only existed in Shen Yan's field of vision, and it was all illusory to him. When those pedestrians spoke, their eyes were only staring at Michelle, even if Shen Yan and Michelle stood side by side!
Even Michelle is happily showing off, "This is my disobedient brother!" The answer from the other side was, "Yes, the weather is good today, I'll take someone to pick the brahmi in a moment." Then Michelle said, "I ran away from home some time ago, and I will educate him well and fulfill my responsibilities as a sister." The other side said, "Yes, yes, the best brahmi bread ......."
So the two sides went home happy.
For Shen Yan in the entire elven kingdom, the only real thing is Michelle.
"Michelle, I can't pick up this cup."
"Mmmm, it tastes good, isn't it, I specially left it for you!"
Really......
*****
Michelle beats up the goddess of illusions, and sure enough, it's not too much!
Although she is the teacher's girlfriend, Shen Yan also wants to kick her black feet if she has the opportunity!
At this time, Shen Yan had roughly guessed the complete cause and effect - Michelle and Erebes' parents should be a combination of humans and elves in the orchard. Forest elves are not a type of elves, but a general term for the kind of elves that are associated with trees, just like city elves, and there may be elves of any bloodline in the internal subdivision. A man fell in love with a fruit tree...... It sounds weird.
But they did fall in love and later gave birth to a child with two souls at the same time.
One soul belongs to a pure forest elf, and the other is a combination of a human and an elf, one of which is likely to be a soul reincarnation from the matriarchal forest elf.
Under the influence of this ancient and mysterious orchard, the soul belonging to the elf of the forest dominates the child's body, which is why Michelle has the absolute upper hand despite the fact that it is clear that it is one and two souls. And although the two souls are in the same body, the soul that belongs to Michelle is pure ancient elf blood, and she can see the elven kingdom in her eyes.
However, Erebes, who was in the same body, was ignorant, and even felt that Michelle was a little neurotic.
If that's all the time, Michelle and Erebes, who will show their talents one day, will leave their hometown to travel and gain knowledge. When moving away from the orchard, Erebeth may gradually take the initiative.
However, the family adopts a new child, Laurel, and drags them back from traveling again (Michelle's human father is likely to be old by this time).
The younger brother Yuegui has become the focus of their new life, obviously Michelle dislikes it on the surface, but in fact, she still cares about this younger brother very much in her heart - at this stage, the elven kingdom that Michelle sees is also illusory, just like Shen Yan, she just sees it.
Then the orcs raided the Thunderwood Village.
*****
The father died, the "corpse" of the younger brother was buried under the rubble, and the home was destroyed.
The two most important men in her life left her at the same time, and Michelle, who inherited the matrilineal soul, could not bear such a heavy blow, and her soul withered directly. And Erebes, who has a stronger personality, stood up and inherited her body, she chose revenge, but accidentally rescued Shen Yan, who was buried but still "not dead".
Two people in the same body are completely separated, but there is still some kind of connection in the soul.
Erebeth takes her brother on a path of revenge.
Michelle is not dead either, and death activates her talent - when the spring of the following year comes, she is reborn in the orchard and gains a new body. It's just that the first rebirth was obviously not so perfect, not only did she become smaller, but she also lost most of her memories.
However, there are no more "impurities" in this body, and it is one hundred percent ancient elves, so it is undoubtedly accepted as one of the members of the elven empire. At this time, the elven empire she saw and touched was finally no longer illusory, so Michelle lived in the elven kingdom.
Michelle belongs to two worlds at the same time, and through the connection of the orchard, she can travel freely between the two worlds. Michelle learns about the druids from the human Druid Redos, who guards the ruins, while taking on the role of an orchard elf in the Elven Empire, whose main duty is to take care of the fruit trees.
…… If that's the case, you can't hide it for long.
Even if Michelle is still inexperienced at this time, the experience of the donkey's head not being in the horse's mouth all day long will definitely make her see the problem, so as to doubt what is true and what is false!
But the goddess of illusions plays a bad role in this—her role is to "rationalize" the elven kingdom and everything it affects. Because the elven kingdom has developed to this day, the unreal and the real have long been inseparable, and it can be said that the unreal has become a part of reality! Even if he dragged Corellon down, pointed to the wall and asked if the brick was real and if it was fake, he might not be able to tell the difference......
It has become a philosophical realm of being and nothingness.
A kingdom has pushed the Goddess of Illusions to a medium level of divine power, and her power is unrivaled in this kingdom! So Michelle shuttles between the two worlds, but all her words and deeds are "rationalized", and even her teacher Redos doesn't notice it.
The only person who was not affected was Shen Yan, because not only did he have pure elven blood, but he also had a lot of immune buffs hanging on his body.
"Atwood's only personal disciple", also gives him a +30 spirit bonus.
So the question is, is the teacher involved with the goddess of illusion now?
The teacher certainly didn't exist - Mr. Atwood was a pure human, he became a legendary paladin in his forties, an undercover cult in his sixties, and then spent a hundred years in the ruins of the city - that is, more than a thousand years before the old man was born.
But as a god of medium divine power, the goddess of illusion must be able to predict that there will be a handsome old man who can do this and that for her in the future! The spicy man also has a disciple who is so handsome that he doesn't want it, and the wife of the spicy disciple beat her up...... Hehe~
Michelle...... Sister," Shen Yan raised his hand in surrender, "I built a house not far from the northeast of the orchard, and there are a lot of interesting things in it, do you want to go and see it?" ”
Michelle hesitated, but three words were clearly written in her big black and white eyes, "I'm going!" ”
