Chapter XVII: The Oath of the Past
Moria had a dream.
In her dream, she returned to the Moon Forest, to the oldest realm of the Wood Elves and Forest Elves.
Under the sun, the exquisite forest cabins are like works of art, the elegant wood elves play moving music with hunting bows, the happy forest spirits run and jump among the trees, play carefree, and become trees when they are tired, enjoy the moisture of the sun and rain, and enjoy the fruits on each other's branches.
The big trees incarnated by the forest spirit are connected to the city, the leaves cover the sky and the sun, and the fruits of the branches are colorful and colorful, and when you bite it, it is crispy and sweet, and people can't stop it.
In the spring-like forest, the dryads are never short of food, fruit from the trees, tubers underground, and mushrooms growing on their trunks.
The colorful mushrooms are enough to scare off unsuspecting outsiders, but they are all fooled, these brightly colored mushrooms are edible, and the really poisonous mushrooms are the mediocre little ones.
Wait, wait, mushrooms?
With a "whew", Moria, who was kneeling comfortably on the bed, straightened up abruptly and woke up from her sleep. The first thing is to pat the fur of his deer-shaped lower body, until he is sure that it is just a dream and that he has not been lazy to grow mushrooms, he is completely relieved.
In the proverb of the forest, the phrase "too lazy to grow mushrooms" is specially prepared for forest elves, and it is said that if the forest elves remain in the form of a tree for too long, mushrooms will grow on their bodies, and Moria does not want to experience it herself, it will be a humiliating thing that will be ridiculed by her fellow citizens for hundreds of years.
Looking at the pocket watch that Macageren put on the table, the time was almost up, Moria, shaking her fur, walked out of the dormitory to prepare for the shift change, and as soon as she went out, she saw an interesting scene.
Shul and Saf sat side by side at the table, the light spar-powered crystal lamp on the table, emitting an incandescent glow. On the table, all the books harvested last night were spread out, and each of them was covered with paper in front of them, and they were constantly writing and drawing on the paper.
"Shure, you find no, their text, only three vowels. ”
"Yes, now only three vowels have been identified, not necessarily only three. Also, I think it's enough for them to have only one vowel, quack. ”
"Childish, look at it, these letters appear in these words. ”
"En, yes, yes, that's amazing, I found another one, it should be the root of a few other words, you wait a minute, I'll write it down. ”
"Hey, hey. The swordswoman smiled silly, obviously very useful for the compliment.
"By the way, there is a book called "Evidence of Part-of-Speech Variants". ”
"Well, I think about it, on the third floor, 3-217-4. ”
"Cabinet 217? Oh, it turned out to be that, well, the fourth rule of variants, I remember, it was like this. ”
Biting his lip, Lin Jing smiled shallowly, this scene couldn't be more familiar, whenever something needed to be studied, these two people would cooperate with each other as they did now.
Speaking of which, the two are also a perfect match, one can clearly remember the name, approximate content and storage location of each book in the big library, and the other is even more exaggerated, it took more than two years to stuff more than half of the books in the big library into his head, although most of them are rote memorization, and even the title and content of the book are not matched, but it is also quite powerful.
Once the two of them cooperate with each other, it is equivalent to being able to quickly consult more than half of the 103,000 books in the Great Library of the Temple of the Gods, which is enough to deal with most of the research.
"Phew, it's going well today, you see, Sasa, that's what can be basically determined now. ”
"Ah, they have a lot of auxiliary verbs, fourteen?"
"Yes, but pronouns are relatively ...... Why did the fawn come over so early?"
The man and woman, who were immersed in the study of words, did not discover the forest spirit behind them until now.
"To see your sweet world of two. Moria raised an eyebrow, her smile full of ambiguity.
"Yikes. There was no doubt that the swordswoman's face was dyed red again, but this time she didn't hide, she looked left and right to see that there was no one else around, and simply pounced on Moria's deer's back, and bit it against the soft fur.
"Hey, don't make a fuss, it's itchy. Lin Jing twisted his body and let out a string of clear laughter.
"No matter, I'm going to eat deer steak!" Saf said indistinctly, covering her flushed face with Moria's back.
"Okay, since the fawn has gotten up, Sasa, you go and rest, you came at least half an hour early, and then go back to sleep. You don't have to worry about me here, it's not meant to be done in a day or two, it's okay. ”
"What about you...... All right. Saph only hesitated for a moment, and then chose to obey, and she trusted Shul absolutely in everything, including everything he said.
Well, except for certain times.
The departure of the female swordsman made the activity room quiet again, and the sound of turning pages and rubbing with paper and pen was particularly obvious in the silent room.
Opening the jam jar and digging a spoonful of jam into her mouth, Moria knelt beside Shure, holding her chin and watching Shul look intently, with a smile on her face, as if she understood everything, but also seemed to know nothing.
Shuer didn't look up, his eyes never took off the few books in front of him, even if the spoon with jam was already handed to his mouth, he just opened his mouth expressionlessly and ate it, not even thinking of licking the spoon by the way.
"Is it dangerous?" Xiu'er's reaction made Lady Lin Jing finally frown, breaking the silence for the first time.
"It's hard to say, I'm not sure, so I'm trying to figure out how to be sure. ”
"But you're already guessing, aren't you?"
Shuer didn't answer, he did have a guess, but it was better to hide this kind of uncertainty in his heart. Speaking out hastily will only bring trouble, and it is very likely to shake everyone's will and cause the team to fall into chaos due to panic. Rather than get this result, Shure would rather choose to bear it alone.
"I see. Moria nodded and closed her mouth in amusement.
Silence spreads again, but this time, the silence is no longer as harmonious and tacit as it had just been, but with a hint of embarrassment.
"Smack", Shuer closed the book again, sighed deeply, and finally raised his head, he didn't want to hurt Moria, hurt this little deer who liked to lie down beside him.
However, as soon as he raised his head, he saw Moria's smiling face, which was full of smugness, and it was obvious that Lin Jing, who was deliberately creating an embarrassing atmosphere, had already guessed Xiu'er's reaction.
"You guy. Shul shook his head with a smile, "I like to play pranks." ”
"Hee-hee, Shuer, since your train of thought has been interrupted, why don't you just answer me a question?" Moria leaned on the table with her chin on her arms and snickered mischievously, "I wanted to ask last night." ”
"Ask, anyway, even if I can't say it well, you can find a way to ask. ”
"Hey, hey, let me ask you, do you remember that night two years ago?"
"Uh-huh?" Shure was stunned, his face confused.
"It's that night, the two of us ate the flame fruit together, and we both got drunk, and then I was ridden by you. ”
"Hey. Shuer's forehead jumped, "Don't omit so much when you talk this guy, okay?"
"Okay, to be exact, you rode me, and we took the Roda field for a ride, and you seem to remember it very well. ”
"That's not right. Xiuer said suspiciously, "Aren't you drunk and almost unconscious?"
"Well, I pretended. ”
"You, you, you......" Xiu'er was covered in cold sweat and pointed to the proud forest spirit, "You don't remember everything, do you." ”
"No, no, no, I've forgotten a lot of things. Lin Jing shook his head with a smile, "For example, you help me brush my hair, for example, you lick the juice from the corner of my mouth, for example, you ......"
"Stop, stop, stop. Shuer became more and more embarrassed, gritted his teeth and asked, "Even you remember this, do you mean that ......?"
"Hey, you guessed it. Moriah tilted her head, squeezed her eyes cutely, and said leisurely, "I remember very well that there was a person who hugged me and cried all night with the strength of wine. ”
"Alas, what a shame. Shul pressed his forehead and let out a painful groan, "I can't remember what I said. ”
"You said a lot, for example, your confession. ”
Shuer's face suddenly sank, and he couldn't even smile.
"You have told me seventeen times how lovely your sister in your hometown is, eleven times how close you used to be, twenty-six times how much you like her and how proud you are, fourteen times how much she adores you and loves you. ”
Shur lowered his head and looked silently at his slightly trembling fingers.
"And then, you said it to me fifty-nine times before and after, how much you regret it. You tell me that even if it's the last minute, whoever you two are, as long as you can give each other even a little bit of trust, you can change everything. ”
"Yes, if I can trust her a little, our conflict will be resolved. Shuer's voice was undulating, as if he were stating someone else's business.
"You keep telling me about your remorse, you say that Lisa is a chance given to you by the gods, a chance to make up for your past mistakes, you say you want to always be good to her and never let your sister's past repeat itself in her. ”
"You said that you vowed to get rid of your past habits, and you should give the greatest trust to your relatives and friends around you, and never let unwarranted suspicion lead to tragedy again. ”
"Shure, I remember everything you say, what about you?
"If you remember, then I want you to tell me that this is the trust you have in these people who have entrusted your lives to you?"
Suddenly, Moria's voice became stern, and her angry gaze went straight into Honel's heart.
"It's great to keep everything in your heart, isn't it? ”
"Why don't you tell everyone? I'm afraid that everyone is worried? I don't want to put pressure on everyone? Nonsense, in the final analysis, you just don't trust everyone, and you feel that everyone can't share the pressure for you. ”
"You have good intentions, you want to carry everything alone, so you go out on an adventure alone, what are you going to do with us?
"I'm telling you, people will think that you don't see everyone as teammates who share the hardships at all, and you don't see everyone as partners who can deliver backs. ”
"We trust you, we give you our lives, and we are willing to die with you, what about you? You repay our trust? That's how you trust us?"
"Trust is mutual, only trust can be exchanged for trust, you can do this once, you can tolerate it twice, if you do this every time, who will trust you again, and then be willing to give your life to you? ”
"Alright. On the contrary, Shuer's expression softened, and he sighed, "I already understood when you said the second sentence. ”
"I know. Lin Jing nodded solemnly, "I just want to scold you a few more words later, after all, the opportunity is rare." ”
"Hey. ”
"Know it's wrong?"
"Hmm. ”
"That's good. Lin Jing's smile suddenly bloomed, like the brilliant flowers in the Moon Forest, "Then allow you to ride me again." ”
"You ...... guy"
