Chapter 306: Hope
For the first time in a long time, Nobita has come down from a tree and actually set foot on the land of Linglong Island. Although he had stepped on it more or less when he first came, he was patronizing and fleeing for his life, his footsteps were like flying, and a pair of cloth shoes were almost not worn out, so he naturally did not have time to experience the delicate "touch" of the soil here. It's different now...... With a fake identity, Nobita can come and go freely anywhere on the island openly, and he doesn't have to worry about those pickets in black robes chasing him.
Very comfortable.
There is no need to use too many flowery words to depict, the word comfort is enough. There are many trees on Linglong Island, the lowest is 60 meters, and the canopy is so solid that you can walk, you can imagine how lush its branches and foliage are. The island's four seasons also change, and in autumn, the fallen leaves fall like a waterfall, rot to the point and turn into spring mud, providing enough fertilizer for the soil to be extraordinarily fertile. Nominally, it is an island arc, surrounded by the sea, and the land is supposed to be so barren that there are not many crops to grow, and Nobita's hometown is a good example...... But the opposite is true, thanks to the abundant source of fertilizer, the soil absorbs the fertility and becomes so soft that it is almost like stepping on a cloud.
The evening breeze blew slowly, and the slightest coolness climbed up to the neck, evaporating all the sweat beads. Being in the shade of the trees does have the advantage of being on the island β there are plenty of birds chirping on the island, and the trees are soothing and refreshing. Following Isttar, Nobita unconsciously lightened his steps and moved as much as he could by touching the ground with his toes. He always felt that if the footsteps disturbed the forest too much, he would be like an impudent intruder to them, who had long been accustomed to living in harmony.
The sound of insects chirping in the ears, although it does not have the beauty of the rhythm, but there is a natural sense of relaxation, which relaxes Nobita's tense nerves.
There doesn't seem to be a forest of this size on Earth...... Although tropical rainforests are also very lush, all kinds of poisonous insects and viruses lurking in the depths of the rainforest are not friendly, and they are a huge threat to anyone who dares to walk in them, and if you are not careful, you can worry about your life. In the previous adventure to the Congo Basin, if it weren't for Doraemon secretly keeping these deadly threats out of the door, Nobita and his little furry children would probably have contracted malaria within a few days.
Can...... This forest is as large as a tropical rainforest, but it doesn't have as many hidden dangers. Maybe it's because it's not naturally generated, and in the final analysis, the entire ecosystem is an "enchantment" under the Emperor of Punishment, and it's up to her to see whatever creatures she wants. Everything is friendly, and you can walk in the forest in short sleeves without worrying about a leech or mosquito sucking your blood.
Nobita enjoyed the journey, and when he arrived at the taiga, he realized that the anticipation along the way was justified - it was indeed a feast of joy!
ββββ
The venue is very large and there are a lot of people, which is Nobita's first impression.
There is a reason why the coniferous forest got its name because of the thick plantain leaves, and there is a naturally occurring clearing in the center of the forest, and the surrounding leaves suddenly shrink into coniferous shapes, and I don't know how it works...... Maybe when Emperor Xing built the island, he wanted to leave a place for his people to use for entertainment, thinking left and right, it was more reliable to install it on the ground, so he separated the trees and forcibly opened up such a vacant land. It covers an area about the size of eight football fields put together, and by the way, it is not a stadium like an elementary school or a junior high school, and each stadium must be at least the size of the World Cup, a full eight ...... Conifers consciously lower their height, and they are more like a wall of conjugation than towering trees. The needle-like leaves naturally can't absorb sound well, and the sound of laughter and music will leak through the gaps in the leaves and into the forest without reservation, adding a lot of hilarious atmosphere to this lonely island with only girls.
There were many square tables and round stools neatly laid out on the floor, all made of logs - there was no shortage of wood in this place anyway, and there was a layer of wool pads on the stools, so that you could sit on them even when it was cold.
There are countless fireflies climbing on the nearby trees, and these fireflies are also peculiar compared to those on Earth, and they emit much brighter light, and can almost be used as artificial light sources. There is no doubt that these insects were also improved by the Emperor of Punishment, and they belong to the regenerative species, and the light they emit is even comparable to that of candles...... Hundreds of these fireflies lay on the bark of the trees or flutter in the air, weaving together into a vast web of fluorescent.
The stars in the sky and the fireflies on the ground reflect each other, and they are beautiful.
Nobita couldn't help but secretly sigh that this Emperor Xing had really worked hard and sincerely wanted to build Tiangang Lake well, otherwise, she wouldn't have to make such a beautiful scene to entertain these "guests".
Girls of all races laughed and played in a large fluorescent net, passing through the piles of square tables like fish, and the heartfelt smiles on their faces shone brighter than the stars in the sky.
Every square table has something to offer, from fruit salad to honey-glazed steak, and fish soup is commonplace...... Strange to say, Nobita has never seen the girls organize hunting, and there seems to be no land on the island for growing crops, but all kinds of food have sprung up like magic, and they can still support the delicate eating style of the girls. Where does this food come from?
This may be another eternal mystery.
"Sit down. After a day in the Stone Pillar Forest, you must be hungry too, so take whatever you want to eat and don't make too much noise. Ishtar led Nobita to a nondescript square table, and in this open-air place, she seemed to have lost her privileges and became indistinguishable from ordinary people. There is no special seat reserved for the "island owner", first come, first served, she can only choose a table quite close to the side - the view here is not very good, and the stage is easy to be blocked by the crowd, so there are no candidates.
No one chooses it, no one chooses, and what you eat is still put on it.
Nobita was also very polite, and stretched out his hand almost the moment he sat down...... I grabbed a piece of naan and dipped it in sauce and began to chew it, eating it heroically and not like a Japanese. After two days of worrying, broken and standing up, Nobita has realized that he is now in the middle of the enemy camp, and it is not surprising that nothing happens in the next second. Even if he is pushed out of the noon gate and beheaded, he will be a full ghost.
"Whoa, whoa......"
He was eating and smacking, very ungraceful, but fortunately, no one paid attention to this "lady" sitting in the corner.
"Is it a holiday today?"
"Well, what do you say......" Esta narrowed his eyes, holding up a glass of wine mixed with a little chicken blood (this is the official drink for the Bloodline), and took a sip, "It's okay if you say it's a holiday." It's just that the festival here in Tiangang Lake is different from your earth, and we celebrate the festival not to commemorate a certain person or event, we celebrate the festival just because we think about it. So there is no fixed date, there is no fixed project, as long as anyone who is in the mood to come can go to the izakaya side to report, about a day, the everything needed for the festival will be prepared, and then the festival can be celebrated. β
"Hiss......" Nobita gasped when he heard this freewheeling way of celebrating the festival, almost choking on the food in his esophagus, "It sounds a little too free." If you do this, will there really be no problems in terms of materials? β
"No, it won't. Because we are in an environment of 'unlimited resources', it doesn't matter how much we splurge it. Esta pointed to the surrounding needlewood forest and said with a wicked smile, "You don't think it's a natural environment, do you?" Looking at this landscape, a clearing surrounded by needles suddenly appears in the middle of a large field of tall trees, is this a natural phenomenon? No, everything was the plan of the Emperor Xing, who used her ability to create the Infinite Sea out of nothing and carve out fifteen islands in the sea. For her, these materials are like landscapes in a painting, which can be cut at will with the stroke of a brush. β
"That's what you see right now."
"Whewββββββββ"
"Bang!"
Several fireworks suddenly rose into the sky and exploded above the sky, scattering into colorful fireworks. The dim sky was slowly lit up at this moment, and scattered sparks poured down on the earth, which was quite unfinished beautiful.
After the fireworks were released, the atmosphere on the stage was enlivened again, and smoke of various colors scattered out like flowing clouds, and several handfuls of fireworks burst out immediately, as if a golden rain had fallen. By the way, these ceremonial flowers are all real petals, and they also belong to the plants that have been "transformed" by the Emperor of Punishment, and the flowers they bloom are used for this...... After the party is over, there is no need to clean it, and it will precipitate, degrade, and turn into fertilizer in the soil.
Maddie, who changed into a flowing gauze dress, walked on the stage again, and she and several other girls danced a few dances to warm up the scene, but Nobita hadn't seen it before she arrived. By the time he arrived at the venue, Maddie had already retired and had become the host of the whole party again. In Tiangang Lake, holding a large party is not a particularly serious matter, so there is generally no "official" to organize a formal rehearsal, and it depends on personal wishes. Maddie was chosen as the host largely because she was the head of the izakaya, and everyone was more impressed with her, and no matter how vulgar she was, she was familiar......
"Today is not a special anniversary, nor is it the 'Birthday of the Emperor of Punishment', it is just an ordinary day. Everyone can take time out of this ordinary day to participate in the party held by us on a whim, we are really ~~ very happy, very satisfied, thank you. β
"Oooh oh ......ββ!!"
The girls below seemed to be ignited, and they shouted one after another with the violent applause of the storm, but because there were no male voices, they were always a little less imposing. At the end of the day, they didn't know what they were shouting, maybe it was just that the lively atmosphere created by everyone getting together was enough to make them feel happy. People who are far away from home do need some such and such things to divert their attention and better devote themselves to their new life.
Nobita and Ishtar sat in the corner, watching the girls in front of them shouting as hard as they could, venting the happiness in their hearts, as if this happiness would not be exhausted no matter how much they squandered it.
Silently drank the mint-flavored drink in the cup, Nobita stopped talking.
In this group of girls who have no quarrel with the world, he sees hope - the hope of peace.
β¦β¦
"So, then, it's the highlight of the night." Maddie on the stage said with a fluttering eyebrow, "I believe you all know - in our Linglong Island, there is a talented singer with outstanding skills. In between standing guard and patrolling, she has been working hard to prepare for today's concert, and strive to dedicate the sweetest singing voice to you. β
When she said the words "genius singer", the audience was already applauding, and Nobita couldn't help but look sideways at this enthusiastic scene - after all, it is a place without men, and the girls here can directly debut on earth with their appearance, in other words, "being beautiful" here does not constitute any attraction factor. Listen to the roaring applause...... is also a woman, how good does this talented singer sing to conquer thousands of girls?
"Welcome to the singer from the Eidolon - Tina Raphaelββ!!"
