......

She was ...... Is that really what you said?" After listening to the leaf's relay, Wendy laughed out loud, "What about the kid named Snakefang?

"Just giggling with her," Ye Zi shook his head, "It's probably not easy to muster up the courage to say that sentence, just one time to exhaust all the guts." ”

"I think so," the smile on Wendy's face widened, "young ...... That's great. ”

"Anyway, are we okay? "The green phantoms of the leaves fall from the branches, condensing into the shape of the body.

"This is not eavesdropping, but fulfilling His Majesty's request. "He asked me to pay a little attention to the actions of the two of them - if you want to pay attention, then the conversation is also part of it, isn't it?"

In that case, it doesn't seem like a problem.

"Besides, you wouldn't have eavesdropped on their conversation without my request?" Wendy looked at the leaves with a smile.

"Uh-" the latter cleared his throat and raised the corners of his mouth, "yes." ”

The two immediately looked at each other and laughed.

The leaves beckoned, and a huge vine rose from the ground, supporting herself and Wendy to the top of the canopy. Then the dense branches spread, intermingled, and reunited, forming a terrace of green leaves beneath him.

From this perspective, the world suddenly opened up a lot, and the dense forests that spread all the way to the Dragon's Back Mountains were like a sea of emerald trees, while on the other side, there were vast and endless savannahs.

While still in the Mutual Aid Society, Leaf would occasionally erect similar treehouses for the sisters to shelter from heavy rains and muddy and wet ground. It's just that at that time, it often took half a day of effort to build a resting place, and in order to save magic as much as possible, the house could be saved, basically like a cicada cocoon. Even so, not everyone has room for it.

But now, the leafy terrace is not only shaped, but also shaped with loungers and coffee tables. There are even two broadleaf cups on the coffee table, which contain pale golden flower dew that sparkles in the sun.

"Did you make it yourself?" Wendy picked up the teacup and sniffed it gently, a delicate fragrance entering her nose.

"Well, it's early morning dew, honey, and sugar cane wine, and it's half-opened jasmine buds," Ye Zi nodded, "It's not as good as the Chaos Drink, but it's better to drink as much as you want." ”

"Your abilities are really getting stronger and stronger," Wendy sighed, "although they all say that Her Highness Anna is a genius that she has never met in a hundred years, I don't think you are much worse than her." As long as the time is long enough...... You may be able to control all the jungles in the world and spread your consciousness to every corner of the continent. ”

"At this rate, I can't do it," Ye Zi smiled and waved his hand, "It will take nearly ten years just to fuse this hidden forest, and by the time I can leave here, I guess I'll be old." ”

"Not necessarily," Wendy sipped her cup of tea, "Agatha said that the effects between witches and magic are mutual. The more powerful a witch is, the stronger her body and the longer her lifespan. If it weren't for the cruelty of the war, those above the transcendent might still be alive by now. She looked up at the sky, "And your magic is even above them, which means that you may be the one who will live the longest among us." ”

Leaf didn't answer, but showed a lonely look, but Wendy didn't notice.

"By the way, it's not just these two points, but even the appearance is related to the level of mana. She paused for a moment, "The legendary Queen of the Fallen Stars, Akaris, has conquered the country, and even Pasha and the others have admitted it. Wendy withdrew her gaze and looked at the other person for a moment, "Well—it does feel like you're a little different from before...... How to say, the moment it descends from the shade of the tree, it is like a fairy in the forest, which is really enviable. ”

Ye Zi glanced at her helplessly, "This is not like what that gentle and caring Wendy would say. ”

"Who knows, maybe I didn't even have the heart to think about such a question before?" Wendy laughed, "Except for gritting your teeth and living, what magic can achieve, what will become in the future, whether it will be ugly or beautiful, is just superfluous." ”

"Yes," Ye Zi pouted, "Now that we are starting to think about the effect of magic on our appearance, is it possible...... Do you have someone you love in your heart?"

"These are two different things. And you're not much younger than me, aren't you, aren't you afraid to follow in my footsteps?"

"Not to mention that this 'not much smaller' is debatable, I have a forest, what is there not to be satisfied with?, but even if you don't say it, I have a way to know, the animal messengers of honey are all provided by me. ”

"It's a pity that as the head of the League of Witches, every one of her reports has to be read by me first. ”

The two teased each other, enjoying the harmonious afternoon conversation.

It wasn't until the sun was sinking in the west that the leaves turned back to the point, "So, are you going to leave later?"

"Well," Wendy said, standing up, "I'll have to send Her Highness Anna back, the Seagull can't fly at night, so it has to take off before four o'clock." ”

"It seems that Blank Paper can't spend a bonfire with her friends. ”

Unlike other family members who visited by train, the little girl was transported directly to the front by glider, and the scheduled return could not be postponed for a day because of her, and she could not be left alone.

"There's no way around it," Wendy said, "whether it's for safety or the needs of Neverwinter, she can't afford to spend too much time on the road. ”

"I'll help you get her down," Leaf reverted to a spirit state.

"Trouble. ”

The leaves burrowed into the trunk of the tree and reappeared in front of Wendy after a few breaths.

"Alright, she'll go to the landing field to meet you, and she should have said goodbye to her partner by now. I'll send you there. ”

Wendy nodded, turned around and waited for the patio to come down.

"The ......"

Ye Zi suddenly said softly.

"What's wrong?"

"No," she hesitated, "nothing ......"

Wendy exhaled, turned around and said softly, "Don't keep any thoughts in your heart, I'm willing to listen at any time." ”

"I'm just a little ......"

"What?"

"Some—" Leaf clenched her fists and opened her mouth before she froze in place—her gaze froze over Wendy's head and froze in the north of the forest.

Feeling the shock and surprise in her expression, Wendy couldn't help but follow her line of sight.

I saw several black clouds of smoke rising from the dense woods, like a curtain slowly unfolding.

This is...... On fire?
