When they were still five hundred meters away from the lake, the Chimera and the Flying Beasts landed. While everyone might be interested to know what the two gods would talk about, instinctive awareness eventually kept them in the distance.

Of course, there is no need to worry that Linya will get lost or anything, because the huge tree body that towers into the sky stands tall in front of you, and it is definitely impossible to go in the wrong direction.

Linya walked slowly towards the lake, secretly amazed at the wonder of the world. How tall is it, 300 meters, or 500 meters? The treetops are about to sink into the sky. Incredible.

"Perhaps they once relied on each other so trustingly, and both used the flames of red dust to banish the cold night. And now, the bustle is cold, and all that remains, broken memories, and castles full of ghosts......"

"It can be as gentle as a cloud or as strong as a glacier. Sometimes gentle, sometimes furious. Sometimes it whispers, sometimes it roars. It can moisten the fields or flood the earth. It can give birth to life, or it can devour the world......"

"A small grass can spread the whole field. A young branch can also grow into a towering giant tree. A trickle of streams can merge into rivers, lakes and seas. A fresh breeze can also fly all over the mountains and rivers......"

"A spring drizzle can wake up the sleeping earth. The summer sun can grow jubilant things. The autumn evening breeze can harvest abundant joy. Winter ice and snow can give birth to hope for the New Year......"

Ah, is this what Cesha said, Kerran's slumber in her slumber? Listening to the long whisper of the tree god, full of the vicissitudes of time, Linya couldn't help but feel a little emotional. But can't you tell what kind of mood it is, inexplicably sad?

Birds chirp among the branches, leaves rustle in the breeze, butterflies flutter and chase each other, and colorful flowers bloom in the jungle. Stepping on the verdant meadows, Linya felt like she had stepped into some wonderful fantasy world. Well, Alice in Wonderland from fairy tales?

It's finally here. Walking into the huge canopy of this World Tree, the dense branches and leaves completely covered the sunlight, and the huge roots of the tree, which were several times thicker than Linya's body, were half-buried in the ground, blocking in front of them like hills, and the dry trunks were covered with cracks left by time.

It's really an incomparably huge, incomparably ancient existence. Linya walked around the dozens of long trees, and couldn't help but be completely impressed. "Hello, Kerland-senpai. I'm Linya. ”

But Kerland still closed his eyes peacefully, and whispered to himself. How can I wake it up? Linya didn't dare to chop it with a knife, so she had to wait slowly.

Not far from the trunk of the tree is the blue and silent Lake Imina, the lake is so quiet and beautiful, Linya somehow suddenly thought of the mirror lake in her hometown, that beautiful little lake is also so quiet and beautiful. Thinking of her family and friends who had been separated for months, Linya couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Endless sorrow came over my heart. Linya summoned the Moonlight Harp, calmed down, sat down on the roots of the great Kellan, plucked the strings gently, and sang softly, a song reminiscing about the good old days.

The flowers of spring, the wind of autumn, and the sunset of winter, I used to think so ignorantly in my melancholy youth.

The windmill flows every day in the song of the four seasons, and I grow up year after year in the poems of the wind and snow.

The story of the flowing water that takes away the time changes a person, in that sentimental and first waiting youth.

Yellowed picture albums, old letters, faded greeting cards, songs written for you when you were young, I'm afraid you've long forgotten them.

The vows of the past are like colorful bookmarks in the book, depicting how many beautiful poems are like a puff of smoke.

The story of the running water that takes away the time changes everyone, just in that sentimental and first tearful youth.

The distant distance, yesterday's dreams and the distant laughter, how far we have traveled to meet again.

I am no longer familiar with the old days, I have the fanatical dreams of the old days, and I am not familiar with you with the old smiles.

The story of the flowing water that takes away the time changes us, just in that sentimental and first memories of youth.

The story of the flowing water that takes away the time changes us, just in that sentimental and first memories of youth.

Although the story of time is only a few months, those beautiful memories have long been engraved in the depths of the heart, where can they be forgotten. The earth and Noah, completely different but so similar worlds, two completely different life experiences, different times and years of experience are imprinted in the same mind, it feels so strange and familiar.

"Ah...... This is the story of time...... I'm glad to see you again, dear Highness Gaisha. An ancient voice came from the trunk of the tree, and from the crack the face of a human face faintly appeared. Kellan, is it awake?

Linya, who was a little embarrassed, hurriedly and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, thought about it and bowed respectfully, "I'm also very happy to meet you, senior Kerran." ”

"I'm glad you're here, Your Highness. It is my greatest pleasure to hear your singing. Kerland's deep voice seemed to be a little cheerful. "I've been with you for a long time. The world has lost love and peace precisely because the world needs your music and poetry. ”

Of course, Linya knew that the people of this world believed that the goddess of the moon, Gaisha, was the goddess of music and poetry, symbolizing love, peace, and kindness, but she really didn't know how to answer at the moment. Her mood is still immersed in the story of time, and she is sad in that memory.

"Kerland seniors. If you are really a tree god, then you should know that I am not really the goddess of the moon. Maybe I'm not of this world...... But now, I don't even know how to explain it. I don't want to ...... like that," she didn't know why, but she suddenly felt the urge to talk.

"Hehe, Your Highness, why do you suddenly have such a strange idea? It's not terrible to forget, as long as we try to find it. Kerland comforted in a deep voice.

"Not really...... I know very well, Lord Kerland. I'm very aware of what my memory is, and I still remember the truth of it all...... Believe it or not, I know my true identity and I really am not the moon goddess Gaisha. It was just a huge misunderstanding, but I didn't know how to explain it. Linya said with some melancholy.

"There is no need to explain anything, Your Highness. I can understand your feelings," the weather-beaten old man comforted gently, "everyone has wandered between dreams and reality, between memories and futures. But to see through the truth of this world, we need our sincere hearts. ”

"I really am not your Moon Goddess, Her Highness Gaisha......" Linya stressed again weakly.

"It doesn't matter...... What matters is that pure and kind heart that you have. Don't run away, don't be afraid, because that's your calling......"

"Okay......" Linya smiled wryly and raised the white flag in surrender. She knew it was useless to say anything. Even if she yells at everyone, "I'm not the Moon Goddess!", she will only be surrounded by strange stares. The world was like a quagmire, and she was already stuck in it. How can I escape? God knows. "Well, Kerlan-senpai, I don't know what is the matter with you summoning me?"

"Ah...... I just wanted to see you, Your Highness the Honourable Gaisha. Oh yes, thank you so much for your efforts to save the elves and the entire forest, thank you!" Kerland said in a sincere tone.

"Ah...... That's fine. Actually, I didn't do anything, what really defeated the enemy was the ones who have been working Her Royal Highness Sucerus, Sister Cesa, and Her Majesty Queen Arundel. And I'm just doing a little help. "I have been praised and thanked too much in the past few days, Linya blushed and said a little embarrassed.

It was such a real humility that Kerland couldn't help but be even more secretly moved. "If there's anything we can do to help you, be sure to let us know. Elves are one of the most grateful races, and we're happy to help you. ”

"Thank you, Kerland senpai. ”

"Plus, I have one more thing to give back to you. It's been a long, long time since this little thing had been left in the Twilight Forest......" Kerland said as he felt something from deep within its trunk with a thin strip and delivered it to Linya's hand.

Linya suddenly felt her breathing a little short. The heart is beating faster. This feeling...... She had, presumably, in the werewolf village when she was in Arbela. Yes, the same magic crystal that the werewolves had given them, a crystal clear gem that shone with black and white light, only this one was significantly larger.

As the distance drew closer, Linya felt her heartbeat stirring with the magic of the Philosopher's Stone, at some kind of same frequency. Linya stretched out her hands without resistance and held the huge two-color magic stone, just like last time, light and darkness, the two opposing magical energies immediately poured into Linya's physical strength along her hands in opposite directions.

Like a raging tide, it is simply unstoppable. Linya felt as if she was about to be overwhelmed by this huge magic, and she hurriedly tried to stop it, urging her spiritual power to stop the surge of magic power. The black and white two magical energies flowed around Linya's body for a while, and then they were finally subdued by Linya's spiritual power, slowly dissolving it into all parts of her body.

Linya let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that her physical strength was now about to be overwhelmed by these two magical energies. She was really worried that she would not be able to control these energies, if she accidentally swung a sword and could cut down a big tree, or blow up a forest with a slap, or even let these two magic forces collide and explode in her body, then she would really die unjustly, and she would not even be able to find someone who shook the pot.

Fortunately, she didn't notice that her wings were in a strange state of one black and one white at the moment, otherwise she would really scare herself. When I opened my eyes, I saw the magic crystal in my hand, which seemed to be a little smaller than when I first started. I guess it's all turned into magical energy and poured into my body.

"Thank you, Kerland, senior. I have some questions, though...... I've seen such a strange magic crystal, why can the energy of light merge with the energy of darkness?Why do you have such a thing?Why did you give it to me?" She seemed to feel something, but she still wanted to prove her suspicions.

"Because this is your Destiny Crystal, a fragment of the legendary Moonlight Crystal. It is a part of yours, Your Highness. You need it. And you'll need it in no time. Kerland said softly. “

Linya was confused. Wait, the fragments of the moonlight crystal seemed familiar, and Linya suddenly remembered that when she was in Arbela, on the way to Bella's old capital, she heard such a word in the mythical story told by a bard while camping. But now it seems that it is just a magic crystal stone that can store both light and dark energy. It can be a quick energy boost, which should be somewhat useful.

"Hmm...... Actually, there is one more thing. Kerland seemed to hesitate for a moment, "Someone wants to ask me to convey a message to you...... She misses you so much......"

"He—who is he?" asked Linya, confused again. I feel that this old tree is really a little old and confused, and his mind is not enough, and he just says some godly chatter, inexplicable words, which makes people scratch their heads.

This time Kerland was silent and did not answer. I don't know how long it took.

"Bees buzz, thank the flowers for their generous gifts, flower salsa, thank the bees for their hard work......"

"Without light, how can we be enlightened by wisdom? Without darkness, how can we be taught by cold nights? Without pain, how can we feel happiness? Without death, how can we understand the preciousness ......of life?"

"Every drop of water has a magical legend. Every star has a vast world. Every breeze has a wonderful journey. Every ray of sunshine has an endless journey......"

A low, distant murmur began. It seems that it fell asleep again and returned to the world of the dream.

Linya bowed a little helplessly, sadly, carefully wrapped the magic crystal with a handkerchief and put it away, and quietly left the edge of Lake Imina.

Let it continue to sleep, this forest elder who has been in the forest for thousands of years, maybe the world in his dreams is the world that really belongs to him.

"If you don't experience wind and rain, how can you have the beauty of the rainbow? If you don't experience setbacks, how can you have the joy of success? If you don't experience the years, how can you have the vicissitudes of time? If you don't look back on the past, how can you sigh the ...... of time."

"There are people who live, but they sleep forever in dreams. Some people died, but he still lives in people's hearts......"

"Life can be extinguished, memories can be forgotten, the spirit can be dissipated, years can wither, but the soul never dies......"
