Chapter 73: From the Starry Sky (Part I)
The trees were lush and the air was fresh, and vaguely Jiang Feng could hear the murmuring of flowing water.
The misty forest is like a fairyland, the moss crawling all over the roots of the trees is like a green dress, and the soft soil is dotted with two or three small blue flowers.
These half-elves are worthy of being the darlings of nature, at least as far as Jiang Feng can see, they are all handsome men and beautiful women.
While walking on the forest path, Jiang Feng whispered to himself.
"It's so similar......"
"What are you muttering there?" Emily asked, pouting.
"Nothing." Jiang Feng shook his head and said.
Walking on the gravel road dotted with blue shells, Jiang Feng looked at the surrounding treehouses, but he was thinking about other problems in his heart.
It's so similar.
Whether it's culture or habits.
These half-elves resemble the Elphs who are rumored to have gone extinct in the galaxy.
The same is true of those born artists, who live in seclusion in the depths of the forest, use poetic language to dialogue every day, express their thoughts with songs, nurture civilization in art, and spend this long and meaningful life. And their civilization, just like their lifelong pursuit, passed away like dust after devoting their lives to leaving countless precious works of art for the galaxy.
The swirling and intertwined roots crossed the river and formed an arched bridge.
A man with a longbow on his back, standing behind the arched bridge, was looking this way.
"He's Krees?"
"No, he's our father." Leia shook her head, took Jiang Feng and Emily, and walked towards the other side of the bridge.
A sharp gaze fell on him, and Jiang Feng noticed that the man was staring at him.
There was some subtle embarrassment, Jiang Feng didn't know what kind of expression he used to face this man, after all, he took away his daughter's "purity" in such a wrong way. If it's Leia, forget it, but it's still the youngest daughter Emily.
"Hello."
“…… Eh, hello," Jiang Feng squeezed out a fairly passable smile, "Jiang Feng." ”
After a stiff greeting, the man's gaze looked away from him and into the center of the village, "As the patriarch, I appreciate all that you have done for the creatures of this island, but as a father, I can't forgive you for what you did. The bow and arrow, blessed by the goddess of the forest, has never been afraid of witchcraft, and if I let me know what Emily has suffered from you, even if you are a wizard, I will not let you go. “
Emily's eyes were red with emotion, and Leia glanced at Jiang Feng meaningfully.
"I'll keep it in mind." Jiang Feng nodded slightly, but said in his heart that if you are so reluctant to give up your precious daughter, just bring her and her necklace back, who rarely carries such trouble.
Seeing that Jiang Feng had listened to his admonition, Kan Rui nodded and looked at Emily.
"Come with me, I have something to say to you."
With red eyes, Emily took small steps and followed her father to the other side.
Retracting her gaze from the backs of her father and sister, Leia looked at Jiang Feng.
"Let's go, let's go, don't keep Master Krees waiting too long."
The two of them continued onwards to the center of the village.
The dappled light and shadow swayed, and the vision here suddenly widened.
Jiang Feng raised his head slightly, and saw a giant tree with a diameter of more than ten meters, located in the center of the village.
The roots as thick as buckets turned out of the soil and intertwined with each other, covering the open space within a radius of 100 meters. The lush canopy of the tree was lush and lush, the sunlight gilded its outline, and the light that leaked through it formed a dappled light and shadow in the mud, and Jiang Feng noticed that below the canopy, a pupil as black as obsidian was staring at him.
If you don't look closely, you think it's a nodule hidden under the aging bark.
Jiang Feng's expression showed a hint of surprise slightly, but then his brows furrowed slightly.
As a tree, he has a genetically extraordinary resemblance to humans.
This reminded him of a technology that had been banned by the Federal Commission on Science and Ethics.
"Dear Lord Krees, I've kept you waiting." Leia knelt on one knee and said respectfully.
"Where, my dear child," said a long, dull voice, like the rustle of leaves, drifting slowly from the canopy of a tree that resembled an umbrella, "I slept for a while, dreaming of those old days. ”
After a pause, the distant voice continued.
"Go down, kid, and let me talk to this guest from afar alone."
Leia respectfully stepped back.
The air returned to silence, except for the rustle of leaves, and a man and a tree stood there.
Just when Jiang Feng thought that this Krees was asleep again, the distant and dull voice slowly spoke.
"Your expression tells me that you have a lot of questions you want to ask me."
"Yes," Jiang Feng nodded and asked in a relaxed tone, "For example, how do you know that I don't belong to this world?" ”
"The breath of your body tells me that you do not belong to this world, and the monkeys who have become Samun, and the fruits that have been planted in the ground. Even if Emily searched the entire forest, she would never find the exact same, because they were not the life of this world at all. ”
"That's right." Jiang Feng nodded and admitted this very dryly.
"You're a lot like someone."
"You mean Captain Agris?" Jiang Feng said with a smile.
He originally thought that these half-elves and colonists were on the same page, but he didn't expect that when he talked about Captain Agris, who discovered the "New World", the ancient tree named Krees did not show disgust or anything like that, but rather missed it.
"Yes, he is a very interesting person, from a distant planet, just like our ancestors." The ancient tree's voice took on a hint of melancholy, a sigh-like voice, and continued, "However, just like our ancestors, he, who did not belong to this world, was forced to be involved in a war that did not belong to him. All we can do is bring his body back from the hands of the believers of Solol and bury it in the highest part of the island with human rituals. ”
This is where the burial chamber came from.
Jiang Feng nodded thoughtfully.
As for why he didn't write down his experiences in his diary, perhaps the captain hoped that one day his compatriots would come to this planet and not be unfriendly to the civilization on this planet because of what happened to him...... Of course, the exact reason is probably only for Captain Agris.
However, it wasn't Captain Agris's story that really cared for him, but ......
"You mean, your ancestors weren't from this planet?" Jiang Feng's eyebrows raised slightly.
"Yes," the lush canopy swayed gently in the wind, obsidian-like pupils staring at Jiang Feng, and the ancient tree slowly spoke, "They are from the distant starry sky just like you. ”
