Time35.Harvest - Serpent's Tears (Part II)

The vast and vibrant continent is home to four gods: the Flame of Warmth and Passion, the Meteor of Wisdom and Peace, the Dragon of Grace and Charisma, and the Fairy of Vitality and Kindness.

They planted a fruit tree on the continent and kept a snake on it.

The moment when the fruit tree is ripe. The gods left the continent -

"Serpent, you can't give these fruits from the tree to humans. Do you understand? Meteor said as he looked at the little snake in the tree with sharp eyes that were completely different from his usual gentleness.

The little snake was puzzled, but nodded. Then the meteor jumped up and left the continent.

A few days later, one after another, Blaze, Dragon, and Elf left their treasures on their respective lands after taking care of the land they managed, and left the continent without saying a word of farewell to the little snake.

Since then, spring, summer, autumn and winter have changed.

The little snake grew into a big snake. A small tree grows into a big tree.

The two remain friendly.

Although neither the Great Serpent nor the World Tree understood why the gods would leave themselves behind and leave the continent. But they believe that they were left behind for a reason, so they have been guarding this continent and following the only message left by Meteor.

Until one day, a few hungry humans came to the tree, and things began to change.

"Please...... Please...... Okay, please. We, we've been hungry for days, we're about to starve to death! "Humans are dressed in tattered clothes, covered in mud, and cry out for help in a pitiful and weak voice.

The kind-hearted serpent couldn't bear to see this scene, so he tilted his head to look at the World Tree to see if he could give the apples on the tree to humans to satisfy his hunger.

The World Tree didn't agree: "Have you forgotten what Mr. Meteor told us before he left?" ”

The serpent shook his head, but still said, "But the gods are good, and they ...... Maybe it's for us to use these apples to help humanity when they need it most. Isn't this the time? ”

The good-natured serpent and the World Tree have been discussing for a long time. Eventually, he chose to give the apple to the dying human to satisfy his hunger - but a gesture of kindness led to the harbinger of Ragnarok. War, hunger, **, plunder erupt among humanity!

The confused serpent left the World Tree in search of answers, and traveled through various countries to see only sin. When the pain was at its limit, a meteor smashed into the ground. A fourth race in humanity has reappeared. Accompanying this fourth race is a prophecy about Ragnarok.

It turns out that the human beings before were nothing more than pretending to be hungry driven by greed. They've plunged the continent into a catastrophe from which it will never recover.

The serpent left tears.

It's all ...... It's mine...... Wrong......

Xiang Mayi trembled, felt his scalp tingle, and his spirit slowly returned to this body, looking at the big snake that was crystal up in the sun with tears, and slowly turned into fragments and disappeared into the air, listening to the seemingly nonexistent confession Xiang Mayi stood in a daze.

Whether it was the continuous system prompt sound of Ding Dong Ding Dong, or the cheers like a tide, Xiang Mayi didn't hear it. There was an inexplicable silence in his ears.

The big snake in front of him is obviously just a piece of data. Whether it is what the Great Snake has done, or the Great Snake's memory, or even the past, present, and future of this world, it is just data. But Xiang Mayi didn't know if he had been a science student for too long, and in an instant, the emotional cells of the liberal arts student were stimulated, and an inexplicable sadness poured out from the bottom of his heart.

I don't know what the implication of those designers designed this story like this, but judging from the current Xiang Mayi, I feel very uncomfortable.

"Actually, it just wants to be punished...... I even hope that the gods who have left it completely will return to him and punish it personally......"

"You...... What are you talking about? Hua Xiaoman had already come to him, and his words were inexplicable.

Xiang Mayi glanced back, Hua Xiaoman's clothes had been torn in several places, her hairstyle had long been messy, and her face was still dirty and a little embarrassed - but it was also a little cute.

Xiang Mayi hurriedly pinched his already sore thighs to restrain that cute thought, and asked softly, "Are you okay?" ”

"Can I still stand and talk to you so well?" is worthy of the proud Lori lady who does not admit defeat.

Xiang Mayi smiled, but after being silent for a few seconds, he asked, "Did you see anything just now?" ”

"See what? …… Wow, you don't want me to compliment you on how handsome you did with the final blow, do you? You don't want to think about it, can you be so handsome thanks to me, well, thanks to the succession of thousands of revolutionary predecessors? Hua Xiaoman cast a disdainful look.

"...... you...... You are really from Huaxia!! Revolutionary predecessors are a ghost, you're just a Lori!

Xiang Mayi didn't care about Hua Xiaoman's continued arrogant state because Hua Xiaoman was already weak, and she was even more embarrassed than her aunt had come. However, when I glanced at the light board that said "harvest", I couldn't help but exhale. Is it such a sad story...... I'm the only one who knows the truth?

Keep your head up.

Finally, I have a chance to take a good look at this World Tree, what a huge tree, it really seems to hold up the heavens and the earth. After the sun fell, the ice melted, and the roots of the World Tree, which had absorbed the aura of the spring water, instantly regained its vitality, and even the meridians were uplifted, and the trunk with a diameter of five meters was unscientifically swollen and progressed towards ten meters.

The branches also began to grow young leaves in layers, the top layer being needles, and the bottom layer being broad-leaved. I don't know what kind of trees this strange tree species refers to, and what is the reason for this way of growing, but it is unexpectedly beautiful.

The leafy World Tree completely covered the underground caverns with light. Xiang Mayi, who was so tired that he was about to collapse to the ground, struggled with Hua Xiaoman to support each other. After glancing at the king in the tree again, he grabbed Hua Xiaoman's hand and said, "Let's go out." ”

Hua Xiaoman was also so tired that she had no strength, especially after the verbal battle just now. Just nodded.

The cheers from above continued. I don't know if this joy is a collective celebration of immortality.

It's just that no matter how noisy the outside world is, it's still quiet under the world tree.

Faintly, above the surface of the lake, the dryad void emerged.

In the void, another small snake also wrapped around the dryad's body.

The two looked at each other, then at the sparkling waters of the spring, where they saw Hilven the Fairy Bow, Levatin the Flaming Sword, Op the Dragon's Jewel, and the shadow of Gungnir, the spear of the Meteor.
