Chapter 381: Hope, Forester
Nausicaa walked out of the portal with the wooden box in her hand, feeling a little hard to believe what she had experienced.
Looking back at the glittering door and the words "Time and Space Tavern" on it, she waved her fist heavily: "Everyone will be fine!" ”
Putting away the black card clutched tightly in her palm, she hurried towards the exit.
Not far away, in the Valley of the Winds, the returning Juba was welcomed by the crowd.
As the number one swordsman on the frontier and a well-informed man, Juba holds a special place in the hearts of the inhabitants of the Valley of the Wind.
His return made everyone feel happy from the bottom of their hearts, and there were many people who wanted to ask him about the situation outside.
The stories he brought back from the outside world were the only pleasure for everyone to pass the time.
After greeting the people, Juba went straight to the "king's house."
The so-called "Royal Palace" is the residence of King Kiel of the Valley of the Winds.
It's just that because of the lack of materials, the palace is not luxurious, just a slightly larger stone house.
Outside the palace is a huge windmill that carries clean water from the ground to the surface, and a basement has been carved out below.
Looking at Kir, who was lying on the bed, his limbs had stiffened and he was deeply poisoned, Yuba felt infinite emotion in his heart.
He still remembered how high-spirited this man was when he first became the leader of the Valley of the Wind.
In the face of everything, Kiel is full of energy, vowing to lead the people out of this desperate situation.
However, this deadly miasma in the rotten sea is a merciless net after all, gradually eating away at his ambition and confidence, and his body is about to be swallowed up.
Kiel knew that his life was short, but he comforted Juba a few words, and then asked about the outside world.
As he expected, the situation in the outside world is not optimistic, the area of the rotten sea is still expanding, the outside world is full of gunsmoke and chaos, and several small countries in the south have been swallowed.
"By the way, did you see Nausicaa?" Kiel asked.
He had eleven children in total, and Nausicaa was the only one who survived.
Therefore, he put a lot of care into this child.
"Nausicaa didn't come back?" Juba asked, frowning.
He said, "I accidentally provoked a king worm when I passed through the Rotten Sea, and it was Nausicaa who saved me with flashbangs and bug flutes...... By the way, the shell of the king worm's eye that I just got back is the one Nausicaa found. ”
"That kid runs into the sea of rot every day, and he doesn't know what he's doing." Kiel sighed.
"The princess is very smart, she will definitely live longer than all of us." Juba comforted.
The two were talking about Nausicaa when they suddenly heard a voice coming from the door.
The one-eyed Mitt walked in and said happily, "The princess is back!" ”
Kir and Juba looked at each other, smiles on their faces.
A short time later, Nausicaa, holding a wooden box, walked through the door.
"Father...... Teacher Yuba. Nausicaa shouted.
"Nausicaa, come here." A kind smile appeared on Juba's face.
As Nausicaa walked over, Kiel asked with a grimace, "Why did you come back so late?" ”
Although he cared deeply about this daughter, Kiel always showed this stern and even harsh attitude in front of his daughter.
In the final analysis, it is because he has too high expectations for his daughter.
Unlike Nausicaa, who has good expectations for some people, Kiel knows that the most terrifying thing in this world is not only the rotten sea, but also the human heart.
"Father, I just went to a magical place." Nausicaa said in a cheerful tone.
Kiel frowned.
He doesn't like his daughter wasting her time on these messy things, and he expects her to care more about the governance of the Valley of the Wind: the harvest of crops, the distribution of food, military defense, and the handling of relations with neighboring countries.
Seeing that Kir's face had become unsightly, and knowing that his father would restrain his behavior as before, Nausicaa hurriedly said, "Father, I have found a cure for your illness. ”
Her words stuck in her throat the harsh words that had reached her lips, and her face turned red, but there was hope in her heart.
No one can face death calmly, let alone Kiel, who has many regrets that have not yet been resolved.
Juba's face also changed, and she asked Nausicaa, "Really?" The poison of miasma is not so easy to remove, and I have traveled many places over the years, and I have never heard anyone say that anyone has succeeded. ”
"Could it be ......," Yuba's face suddenly became extremely exciting.
There was yearning, fear, adoration, and worry in his countenance.
"What?" Nausicaa asked curiously.
She said to herself: "Could it be that Mr. Qiao lied to me, and Teacher Yuba has also been there?" ”
"But," Nausicaa thought to herself, "why didn't Teacher Juba mention it before?" ”
Kiel was also curious, and there was a little more hope in his heart.
"I have heard that there is a special race that lives in the rotten sea, called the forest people," said Yuba softly, "and it is said that they are of the same race as the insect tamers, and they feed on insect eggs and wear insect casings...... Possess incredible power. ”
"But," said Juba, as she shifted, "even the legendary foresters do not seem to be able to heal the miasma poison of their bodies. ”
The hope in Kiel's eyes dimmed slightly.
Nausicaa breathed a sigh of relief.
"Not really." She said.
As Kir and Juba looked at Nausicaa at the same time, she put the wooden box on the table with a happy smile on her face.
Then, she opened the wooden box, and a faint fragrance wafted out of it.
When the scent came out, both Kir and Juba's complexion changed.
Fragrance is a discoloration in the Valley of the Wind, as it often represents miasma, meaning death!
"You ......"
"Cover it!"
Kir and Juba spoke at the same time.
Nausicaa's smile remained unchanged, and she lifted the wooden box and said, "Father and Yuba-sensei don't worry, it's not a plant in the rotten sea. ”
As she spoke, she put the wooden box in front of the two, and the Tianshan Snow Lotus fell into the eyes of the two.
Looking at the Tianshan Snow Lotus composed of layers of white jade-like petals, Kiel and Yuba were stunned.
"It doesn't look like it's a spore plant from the Rotten Sea." Juba said.
He stepped forward, sniffed the fragrant aroma, and said, "This aroma is not the same as the taste of miasma, and it makes people feel refreshed, it seems that it is really something special." ”
Nausicaa's smile remained unchanged, and she reached out and tore a petal from the snow lotus of that mountain, sent it to Kir, and said, "Father, eat it." ”
