Chapter 335: Never Again
The "wolf smoke" has been rising for a long time, and the feeling of standing in it is very strange.
When these vitality were released in this way, the thick mist gradually faded and dispersed, and Cheng Lin, who was standing on the floating island, finally reappeared.
"Whew."
He exhaled with a look of extreme satisfaction before he slowly opened his eyes.
He had been in the smoke of life for tens of minutes, and he had never imagined that it would be so comfortable.
Yes.
It's all about comfort.
It's like going into a sauna...... No, it's more enjoyable than a steam sauna, those vitality soaked his bone marrow and internal organs, as if washing his whole person clean, it was a supreme comfortable experience, if it wasn't for the image problem, Cheng Lin even wanted to moan.
The "Jade Mountain" under his feet had already softened and collapsed, turning into a thin layer of skin, then drying and cracking, and when it was blown by the breeze, it turned into white dust and sprinkled into the vast space.
The Dream Worm's body dissipated in this release, as if it had never existed.
This is the silent and desolate death of a life that has brought such a great catastrophe to this world.
"Elu?"
Cheng Lin came back from that extreme comfort, and saw Ai Lu flying in from the "tree hole" with the blue bird, she was standing quietly at the edge of the huge space at the moment, the blue bird had gathered its wings, was arranging its feathers with its beak, and its fluffy and huge body was next to her, looking very gentle.
"You've been waiting for a while."
Cheng Lin smiled and said.
The elven girl had now recovered from the initial surprise and excitement, and she stood there quietly, with only a smile on her silky face, and only a closer look could make out the dried tears.
A good girl, but she loves tears too much, her name should be changed, not called Ailu, but Ai Crying.
Cheng Lin thought leisurely in his heart.
"Not for long," said Eru, and then she saluted with an extremely serious look, "the whole Elven race, nay, the whole Elven Forest will always remember your kindness. β
"A little thing." Cheng Lin smiled.
He walked back along the vine, came to her, and probably sorted out the information he knew, telling her the truth about things like the dream worm that grew up with the World Tree, hallucinations, things like erosion...... Wait a minute.
When she heard all the stories, she stared at the space in front of her that was gnawed by the dream insects with an incomparably complex expression, "I will record all this in the classics of the royal court, so that all the clansmen will remember it forever." β
Cheng Lin nodded, then suddenly raised his right hand and unfolded his palm, and Ai Lu immediately exclaimed.
I saw that in the palm of his hand, there was a strange seed lying there.
Yes, it was undoubtedly a seed, but it was a little bigger, as big as a walnut, with a pale green skin and white edges, revealing a wonderful rhythm that did not need to be touched, just by looking at it, you could perceive the vitality contained in it.
"What is this?" Ai Lu was surprised.
"Seeds of Life." Cheng Lin looked at her and slowly said the name.
This faintly fluorescent seed was "accidentally" discovered when he took back the He Sword after killing the dream worm, it was hidden inside the body of this worm, and the moment he picked it up, relevant information appeared in his mind.
According to the brief introduction of the deduction program, this is the seed produced by the World Tree, which has been stored in the heart of the tree before, and then the entire heart of the tree was eaten by the dream worm, and the worm was also swallowed by it, but strangely it was not digested, but it was retained.
[Seed of Life: Possesses mysterious power, 100 years before maturity]
[Hint, it needs to be stored in the World Tree for 100 years before it can be used maturely]
This is the only information provided by the deduction program, Cheng Lin pondered, according to his understanding of the character of the deduction program, this seed is obviously the most precious item in this deduction.
"I've never heard of such a thing, and there hasn't been anything in the history of the elves," Ai Lu probably finished listening to the information about this seed, thought about it, and said, "But since it is condensed by the World Tree, it should be very precious, you can accept it, the royal court has been fighting for three years, and the remaining population is already very scarce, and there is really nothing precious to repay you, please accept this seed." β
When Cheng Lin heard this, a bitter smile appeared under the white mask.
He said to himself that I would like to take it directly, but unfortunately I can't.
It doesn't matter that it will take at least 100 years to mature, even if you don't have this constraint, you can't take it away.
He can't bring anything in the deduction to reality, that's the rule.
"I naturally want this seed, but not now," after thinking about it, Cheng Lin pretended to be indifferent and said, "I will continue to put it here, can you guard it for me?" β
"Guards?"
"Yes, protect it from theft, from robbery, and keep it here until one day, I ...... Or the one who bears my seal comes here and takes it away. Cheng Lin recounted in a low tone.
Ai Lu then understood, although she didn't know why the evil god arranged it this way, she didn't make any inquiries, just said in a firm tone, "I do!" β
After a pause, she added, "Later, I will inform Lord Lorgar of this, and I am sure he will give the same reply." It's our pleasure to protect it for you! β
"It's for the best." Cheng Lin smiled.
In my heart, I was thinking that this entrustment of myself might not really work.
According to the number of paths deduced in the previous ones, there are no advanced intelligent beings in the final projection area, at most they are some awakened beasts.
Therefore, he was very skeptical that the projection would contain a World Tree, especially since the World Tree was so large......
"The biggest possibility of projection is Krum City, after purification, the elves will definitely move back to the royal capital, with the current number of remaining population of the elves, a royal capital can be fed, Krum City should be abandoned, and then used as the target of the projection."
"It's a pity that this kind of seed can't be kept in Krum at all, and I can't be 100% sure of the specific range of projection."
Cheng Lin thought regretfully, he always felt that according to logic, the probability of getting the "seed of life" was low and scary...... This thing doesn't even appear in the projection range, does it?
If that's the case, it's more of a headache, can I only come in and pick some spirit plants in my next projection?
Well, there are still a lot of spirit plants in the Elven Forest, and so are the interesting beasts......
Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at the blue bird who was carefully combing his feathers, and then the stupid big bird subconsciously shuddered.
β¦β¦

"Are you leaving?"
Cheng Lin finished reading the information in his mind, looked at Ai Lu next to him, pursed his lips, was silent, and said with a smile: "The matter in this world is over, and I will leave too, so let's say goodbye here." β
"You...... Are you leaving? Eru was stunned, and then a little confused.
Then, suddenly, I sighed in my heart, yes, since everything has been understood, then the evil god ...... It's really time to leave, this is the way it should be, but why, I am a little reluctant?
Presumably...... Some of you can't pass up those weird and delicious foods, right?
"Yes."
Ai Lu, the chief priest of the sacrificial hall, responded.
Cheng Lin didn't say anything more, he was about to turn around, and suddenly, Ai Lu raised his head and asked with a look of expectation: "The seed of life...... You'll come back to pick it up, right? β
Cheng Lin didn't turn around, thought about it, and said in an uncertain tone: "Maybe, but even if I came to pick it up, there is a high probability that I didn't come here in person." β
ββ¦β¦ Oh, that'...... Good bye? β
Cheng Lin pursed his lips, turned his back to her, raised his right hand and waved it gently, without saying anything.
Then he stepped forward, entered the safe house, and disappeared into this world.
β¦β¦
Goodbye?
Presumably...... Never again.
β¦β¦
PS: One of the most important reasons why I don't like writing deductions is that every deduction is like a short story at the end of each exercise, and this feeling is terrible.
