Chapter 113: In a Dream (2)
As soon as the kite inserted the thorn ball, or star grass, into the glass bottle on the side, when the root tip of the star grass touched the water surface, a touch of blue emitted from the root tip slowly faded from the water, and the original blue of the water further deepened.
Sixteen identical plants were stacked on top of each other, making them look particularly crowded and cluttered in the glass bottles.
These are sixteen, all of them are star grass. Fifteen of them were collected by him from the Forest of Stars, while the remaining one was accidentally dropped by Obsidian on the road and retrieved by him.
It is only at night that the star grass reveals its true form. This property comes from the psychedelic secretion of its root tip, which is only suppressed at night, and the star grass returns to its original appearance.
The star grass he had retrieved did not change immediately as night fell, but did not regain its appearance until he wiped away the blood stains of the witch-sama that had been stained on it.
And the reason for this is blood, the blood of the witch who is stained on the star grass.
It is not easy to collect star grass, and it is not uncommon to cut your fingers during the collection process, but this is the first time that star grass cannot be changed back because it has been stained with blood. This also shows that the blood of the witch is special.
As for what is special, I can't say what it is. Maybe it's the witch's blood that makes the secretion more vigorous, or maybe the witch's blood keeps the secretion of secretions from being suppressed...... In this way, there are almost a hundred reasons why the star grass does not change its appearance, and even if the kite is clever, it is impossible to accurately guess which one is the right one.
In addition to blood, the girl named Archumia, who is called the witch, is also special. Not only for the Academy, but also for Iris himself—the Witch-sama was just as able to feel the eerie aura from the Star Forest as he was.
He had never forgotten the chilling aura that came to his face when he first saw the Forest of Stars. At that time, he asked Obsidian, but Obsidian said that he had no sense.
Later, when he saw the Forest of Stars for the second time, that feeling had disappeared, and he had been sinking that incident in his heart, but he didn't expect that the witch would feel the same way as him now.
A person's feelings may be skewed, but if two people have the same feeling about the same thing, then there should be no fault in that feeling.
There is a problem with the Forest of Stars.
In addition to feeling this ethereal thing, there is something more substantial that can be used as evidence, and that is the street lamp on the side of the road in the Star Forest.
It wasn't magic that lit those street lamps, but the dark moon locked up in the street lamps. In the name Hades, the moon refers to the light that guides the way. Hades, on the other hand, represents the land of fog.
The Moon is not a social animal and is only nocturnal. Legend has it that if the Stygian Moon gathers in large numbers during the day, at night, the entrance to the Land of Mists will appear here.
The Land of Mist, also known as the Land of the Dead, is a place where countless undead inhabit.
- During the day, a large number of Hades Moons gathered.
The path with dozens of street lamps and thousands of moons can meet both of these things.
Some students have discovered this, and the headmaster explains that legends are just legends, and that the Stygian Moon is not a guide to the Land of Mist. The Stygian Moon glows a faint blue, which matches the name of the stars. That's why the Stygian Moon Street Lamp was placed on the path leading to the Forest of Stars.
After all, the legend did not live up to the prestige of the college, and the students gladly accepted this explanation. Besides, since the establishment of the Galoti Academy for so long, there has never been a supernatural event in the Star Forest, why should they question this ancient and great academy for the sake of a legend that they don't know whether it is true or not?
Irichi was reluctant to challenge the majesty of the academy, but his actual feelings with the witch-sama made him suspicious of the Star Forest again.
However, there is a problem on the part of the academy. As a student, even if he finds out, it's better not to investigate deeply.
After all his thoughts, Kite put the glass bottle on the windowsill on the table, turned and sat down on the bed, his handsome face showed exhaustion, he lightly snorted, and there was a trace of mist spreading between the pupils of silver-white eyes, making him look a little more green and soft.
He lay on the bed and looked at the closed door, but there was still no sound outside the door.
It's so late, hasn't Obsidian come back yet?
