Chapter Twenty-Five: Ani and Bu Lichen
Chapter Twenty-Five: Ani and Bu Lichen
There is a saying that "ability is acquired", and for several months, Ani, who has been chasing ducks to the shelves, has really understood the meaning of this sentence.
However, despite all kinds of hardships and hardships, the Titans have finally succeeded in establishing themselves in Reis City!
Reys City was originally built by humans, and its specifications were naturally based on ordinary humans, and the Titans couldn't live in it at all, and the original houses had also suffered some damage, so in the past few months, in fact, these thousands of Titans lived in the squares, streets and other open spaces of Reis City.
Ten days ago, after designing to besiege and kill an invading wolf king, which greatly reduced the attacks of beasts from the wild region, Arnie decided to lead a group of "female" people to build a residence belonging to the Titans.
Giants have no sexual organs, and the Titans evolved from giants naturally have no distinction between male and female. However, after all, the giants retained the physiognomy and secondary sex characteristics of men and women, and Ani and Reiner, who have left human memories, also have the concept of "male and female", so the Titans also have a gender division - although this division has no "substantial" meaning......
Don't have the tools to build a house? It doesn't matter. The Titans all have brute strength, and Arnie just wants to build something like a big factory shed to shelter from the wind and rain......
"Ni~~Which ...... ......"A titan with a beautiful girl's face but thirty-five abs and a height of about seventeen meters trotted all the way to Arnie's side, and asked in a stumbling tone. Her pronunciation is quirky, indistinct, and quite laborious. As she spoke, she was clutching a dusty beam in her hand.
"It's Hathaway." With a motherly smile on her face, Ani touched her head, "See those holes I dug?" Just stuff the stick in your hand and you're good to go. Anilian said with a gesture, and went into battle with his hands and feet, but what he gave back to her was the innocence of the Titan "girl" Hathaway. The latter is immersed in the good feeling brought by Ani's "touching his head......
This group of newborn Titans is strange, learning things in combat very quickly, but the mastery of language and related abilities makes Arnie and Reiner want to vomit blood! In addition, somehow, they are very clingy to the two of them, and that blind trust has even reached the point where even if the latter asked them to commit suicide, they would not have much resistance!
"Hey, forget it, I'll do it myself." With a wry smile, Arnie took the girder from her hand, walked over to a large hole that had been dug beforehand, and slammed the girder in his hand into the hole with consistent force.
Patting the heavy wooden beam with only two-thirds left outside, Arnie nodded with satisfaction: "This time the pit is well dug, not deep or shallow, just right, it should be able to move on to the next step." ”
At some point, Ani developed the habit of talking to herself. Perhaps, it was forced by this group of bear children.
For the house to be built, which can accommodate dozens of clansmen, according to Ani's (wishful thinking) conception, it is roughly the same shape as the village stables, and it is a large shed......
Titans generally grow very tall, so this shed must have a certain height. What bothers Ani at the moment is how to build such a qualified shed without delicate tools.
"This is the seventh time, and we must not fail again." Ani muttered a word, cheering herself on.
however
Three hours later—
Ahhhh
"Ni~~Ni~~Ni~~"
The Titans, who were surrounded by old and girlish faces, came over and expressed their concern for Arnie in their own clumsy ways. Although they don't understand why Ani has been so manic lately, they can still feel the latter's emotions.
"I'm fine...... I'm going to rest for a while~~" Ani sat down on the ground and squeezed out a bitter smile at everyone, then stood up with his hands propped up, and staggered towards the outside of Reis City.
Currently, the Titans live in Reis's original house, but they are all empty shells with the roof removed and only four walls remain...... They lie in it at night and sleep against the wall.
As Arnie left, her head poked out of the wall and watched her leave. Their eyes, incomparably pure, shimmered with a light of wisdom called "doubt", which was what they were thinking.
There is a lonely mountain north of the city of Reis. It is a rocky mountain, one part of which is connected to Reis, and the other end is a steep mountain wall with strange rocks, which is a naturally occurring defensive wall. In fact, when humans chose to build Reis City in this place, they also took a fancy to its military role and rich stone resources.
Due to the unique cliff mountain structure on the other side of the stone mountain, its peak has become a place like a cornice or a cloud flat, and the scenery and atmosphere are very good.
After all, even if she became the founder of the Titan Race or the "god" of the Titan Race, she was just a simple-minded girl inside...... She had no time to be distracted by all kinds of difficulties and challenges along the way, but now she got a temporary respite, and her long-suppressed emotions began to be revealed.
As she was about to step onto the lonely peak of the rocky mountain, Ani's footsteps became very soft, like a child who did not want to wake his mother to take a nap.
The sun shines through the clouds and sprinkles the land, and on the edge of the cliff, a magical plant bathes in sunlight, flowers and leaves, dancing.
The plant is large, occupying most of the clifftop, with its long, narrow leaves spread out, verdant and vibrant, and looks particularly verdant in the sun. Among the lush leaves, there is a huge flower bud, and the petals that have not yet bloomed are as transparent as ice, and you can see the delicate pink stamens inside. Its root system is very developed, and once Ani climbed up the cliff to see where its roots extended, and was surprised to find that its roots had spread all the way to the foot of the rocky mountain, enveloping almost the entire rocky mountain.
This discovery made Ani even more interested in this mysterious plant that suddenly appeared.
In addition, Ani found that if he came close to smell it, he would smell a faint fragrance coming from the buds. The fragrance was very faint, but it gave Ani a wonderful touch, just like when she was a child, she looked forward to the food that her father brought out of the kitchen, and a long-lost warmth filled her heart.
It was this warmth that made Arnie give up the idea of a more "deep" level of research. For example, pull it out and peel it off......
After that, whenever there is something troubled, Ani will come here, confide in the plants, and express her distress, anger, confusion and grievances. After finishing speaking, I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
What's even more amazing is that this plant seems to be able to really understand Ani's words, and every time she comes, it will dance green leaf buds to welcome her, and even take the initiative to release the strange fragrance that regulates her emotions and soothes her soul, as if to comfort her.
Reiner is a wooden and dull guy, and the conversation between him and Arnie is generally based on "work", and he doesn't know how to please a girl at all, let alone solve her problems and relieve her knots.
The first time she experienced this warm feeling, Ani couldn't do without this mysterious plant.
簌簌~~~
Sensing Ani's arrival, the green leaves of the mysterious plant swayed and swayed without wind, and even the huge bud shook as if to greet happily.
With a smile on her face, Arnie sat down next to it.
She had long found that as long as she was close to the plant at a certain distance, she would be cool and comfortable, and with the strange fragrance that the latter took the initiative to release, the days were not too happy.
"Little flower, I'm coming to see you again." Ani greeted it, took a deep breath, and suddenly a wisp of strange fragrance mixed with a cool meaning flowed all over the body, and the whole body was comfortable, and the previous troubles were thrown out of the clouds.
"I'll tell you, I'm building a house today............"
"Hathaway's ability to speak has improved, and they speak a little more clearly than before......"
"Betya's girl ...... today"
…………
Ani keeps a running account and generally tells all the thoughts he has done, seen and thought, and pours beans from the beginning to just now, without missing any details.
Finally, she took a breath and finished all the things of the day, only to feel that all the depressed emotions in her heart had dissipated, and her passion and vitality had regained again, and the responsibility of the guide was full of her heart.
"I'm not going to give up!"
"I must bring the Titans on a new track so that they can live happily and peacefully!!"
"Ani, come on!!"
After the self-hypnotic vow, the look of fortitude returned to Ani's face.
"Little flower, I'm leaving, I'll come to see you tomorrow."
After venting his inner emotions, Arnie, who regained his vitality, smiled and waved at the mysterious plant, humming a song all the way back the way he came.
After she left, on the top of the peak, a voice suddenly sounded that was both clear and soft.
"Little Flowers...... Tsk, if the captain knew that I had such a nickname, they would have to laugh crazy. ”
This voice is-
Step Lichen!!
Bu Lichen, who had disappeared for a long time, actually appeared on this lonely peak far away from humans, and even turned into a plant?!
"Ha, it's a pity, they will never know about it, even if they want to laugh, they can't help it." Bu Lichen's tone revealed a touch of sadness.
When she was meditating in the small world, she was swept by the pillar of light of the Great Will, and her cultivation was forcibly interrupted, not to mention, she suffered a heavy blow because of it, and was forced to use the life-saving method in the Eight Divine Powers to survive.
As a result, his life was saved, but he also became what he is now, in vain.
