Chapter 48: Departure
The war outside the Silvenian Forest, which lasted only half a day, was the shortest war that the Savoy and the Streamers had experienced together in more than forty years. It made King Sava finally realize that the true strength of the aliens was far from what they had thought they had been, and he decided not to act rashly until he could find a new countermeasure. After the fallen warriors had regained their strength, they rested for a while, and in the early morning of the second day after the battle, the army of Savoy returned to Solong.
As soon as the Savoie departed, the Streamers set out and began to migrate to the Northlands. The Savoy sailed north from the southeast coast to Solong, while the Streamers walked north from the interior and then had to climb the towering Mount Essetti to turn to Honia, on the northeast coast. The water and land routes are different, so even if you set off at about the same time, you won't cross paths on the way.
As a race that has been accustomed to living in harmony with nature since ancient times, the Streamers are not like the original races of the Lepelian world to occupy resources everywhere, they have always regarded themselves as a part of nature, even if they are far away from their homeland and have been displaced in the Lepelian world for more than a thousand years, they still abide by the survival rules of the Streamer Star. Moving from one place to another is almost a matter of bringing yourself over to the streamers. Unlike the Lepelian people, who like to accumulate all kinds of possessions, the streamers' way of survival is extremely simple. In addition, there is no suitable food for them, so they can only rely on water and light for life for the time being, and the only thing used as bedding is a living plant, the light vine flower.
Hikari Hanaha is a highly intelligent creature on the Streamer Star, which, like all Streamers, is capable of emitting light on its own. Although the light vine flower can be seen everywhere in the Streamer Star, it cannot survive alone in the world of Lepeilian. Because, the light vine flower that has left its homeland can only continue to survive by absorbing the same life breath as the streamer star emitted by the streamer, and the sunlight here alone is not enough. In short, in fact, the Light Vine Flower, like Tingling, must be in an environment where they can feel the breath of the Streamer Star in order to survive, and the soil is not necessary for them.
The reason why it is said that the light vine flower is a highly intelligent creature is because it has an independent consciousness and can communicate with the streamer through consciousness. Its seed, like a bean with magical powers, can grow into various states according to the will of the autonomous consciousness or the will of the streamer, and even grow in reverse. The so-called reverse growth refers to the fact that even in the state of dense flowers and leaves, the light vine flower can still shrink back to the state when it sprouted, and even return to the appearance of the seed again. It digests itself, so there are no dead branches and leaves, and it will never wither. No matter where they go, streamers are accustomed to carrying a seed of light vine flower with them, and when they need it, they will get the help of light vine flower through consciousness exchange.
The petals of light vine flowers are usually light blue or light green with a hint of biological light. However, this blue-green color of light can only be distinguished by a streamer, and if it is viewed with the naked eye of a Lepelian person, it will only be seen as white. In fact, the light vine flower is not only this color, but it can also change its color according to its consciousness. However, if there are no special needs, the streamers will rarely use their consciousness to control the color of the light vine flowers, and they generally decide on their own.
The clothes worn by the streamer are actually made of the petals of the light vine flower almost seamlessly. Once the petals are plucked, they immediately lose their luster and the color cannot be changed. Therefore, if you want clothes in other colors, you must decide on the color before picking the flowers. As long as you align the edges of the plucked petals, they will automatically stick together. The texture of the garment made from these petals is quite smooth and flexible, and as long as it is not badly damaged, it will always remain fresh. The clothes of the streamers are extremely simple in color and simple in style, and there are usually no colorful or complicated outfits.
When they set out, they all wore opaque black hooded cloaks made of harvested light vine flowers, and their bodies were tightly covered. This cloak is necessary because at night, when all the biological light emitted by each person gathers together, it will form a large area of light that will make the migration party very spectacular and eye-catching. Although the natural light color on Moye and Chi Mo's bodies was a dark light that could not be detected by the eyes of Lepeilian, the cloak could at least keep out the wind and cold on the road.
The flaming child, also wearing a small cloak, followed the priest at the front of the procession. Chi Mo stared at the small figure, constantly thinking about the conversation of that day, and the pair of fire-colored wings that suddenly appeared made him unforgettable. But after that day, he never saw the dazzling pair of wings again.
"What are you looking at? Mano asked.
"I wonder where is the Sun King's demonic power? He is so powerful that he can travel through any time and space at will, and present a psychic body that seems to be almost indistinguishable from a naturally evolving life form to us in another world. Chi Mo said with emotion.
The priest said that we would not know the answer until all the people were reunited. "Even the priests can't sense the Sun King's demonic powers, let alone them. The Sun King is both far away in the sky and close in front of him, he seems to be everywhere, but nowhere to be found, no one can capture his trajectory unless he is actively presented. After being silent for a long time, Moye turned to ask, "When you were in the Eastern Continent before, did you see other forms of clansmen?"
"I have not seen them all, for I was born late, and my people were long since gone. However, when I was still in the egg, I could feel that the people who were protecting me had changed several times. Chi Mo replied. Before the Veloch people are actually born, they have to develop independently in the egg fruit for a long time before they have enough strength to break out of the egg. Chi Mo is a Rysersi in the form of Veloch, and he is naturally oviparous.
"What form is Priest Ressercy?" asked Mono curiously. Because the Rysersi are the only group in the Streamers with an irregular form, the only thing that remains unchanged is their ice, fire, blood, and absolute male characteristics. In addition, since their appearance is all inherited from the mother, the father and the child are not necessarily the same form. Earlier, Mano had learned from Priest Sylven that his father was originally Priest Ressersi, so he couldn't help but feel a sense of urgent curiosity.
"Priest Rysersi is also in the form of Veloch, but unlike us, the difference between him and the Veloch is very clear. In fact, no matter what form of priest they are, they can immediately distinguish it, because the soul power of the priests is very powerful. ”
"Indeed......" Mono realized. Just like the Sirven priest, although the physical appearance is no different from the ordinary Sylvins, the unique soul power is beyond the reach of ordinary Sirwins. Even if he was covered in a pitch-black cloak, he could be identified by his back when he stood in the middle of a crowd of people dressed in the same attire.
Priest Sirwin stopped, looked around at his surroundings, and said, "Let's rest here today, this is the last grove nearby, and there may not be any more groves in the next ten days." ”
Trees are trying so hard to grow, but they can't keep up with the rate at which people are cutting them down. The woods in front of them were a little sparse, but at least they made them look less conspicuous. Along the way, they rarely stopped, and only took the opportunity to rest unless they came across a large wood. It's not that they can go on without sleep all the time, but the soul power of the streamer is very strong, and it can keep part of the mental power awake at the same time, while the other part of the mental power falls into a dormant state, so as to rest alternately, so as to achieve the purpose of continuing to run for a long time. However, when they encounter the woods, they will also take a break so that their bodies can get a complete rest.
For the next ten days, they will probably have to walk day and night on the open plains, and their bodies will not be able to fully relax. For they had to pass through the open area in the shortest possible time, so as not to attract the attention of the Savoyans or Lepelians.
While all the people are resting, only the priest cannot relax completely. He has been endowed with great strength and has never slackened his duties as guardians of his people, and he cannot easily let his guard down until he ensures that all his people cross Mount Essetti safely and smoothly.
There was no rain for many days, and tonight was a moonless night, and the sky was full of bright stars. The flaming child sat beside the priest, gazing out at the starry sky. As the sky changed, the pair of ruby eyes began to slowly transform into the vast starry sky, like the stars that contained the entire universe. Whenever he gazed at an area of the sky, his eyes would zoom in on that area, and sometimes he could even see a brightly colored nebula in his eyes, as if the distant world was close at hand.
The priest kept an eye on the changes in the child's eyes. Because the soul of the Sun King is both close in front of him and far away in the sky, it is not just the scenery that the child sees in his eyes. No matter how many times he saw it, the priest would still be amazed: "Your soul is so powerful, not limited by any time and space, and can freely soar through the vast universe. I am as small as me, but only through your vision can I understand how vast this universe is......"
This child is a form condensed by pure soul power, and although it is a psychic body, it is endowed with a true personality. As a result, he has the ability to make his own choices and judgments, and will act according to his own wishes and steps, and will not allow others to take what he wants. The reason why the priest never asks questions to children easily is precisely because he knows that no one can control the power of the Sun King, and can only rely on his power to survive, and the will of the Sun King is the law of survival of the Streamer. Therefore, they can only return to their homeland naturally if they follow the child's wishes.
