Chapter 9: The Song of the Swarm of Insects (2)
[2: The place of butterfly change]
"What happened last night?" said Cedar in surprise, "but if it's you, I wouldn't have been able to calm down." You're not hurt, are you?"
When Harden heard this, he snorted disdainfully, "Who am I?"
"You're not in a good mood today. Thinking about the attacker?" Although he knows Harden's temper, it is still relatively rare for Harden to look like he doesn't want to pay attention to him.
"Hmm. Harden looked away and responded vaguely.
There was silence in the room for a while, so Dimon said intimately: "Xiao Song, you just leave him alone, before he finds out that guy, he will be like this who doesn't like to deal with people." ”
"Hmm...... Don't work too hard," Cedar laughed, "I've also read a lot of mystery novels, what clues do you have to reason together!"
"Just you?" Harden couldn't help but scoff, "Let's go back to physical fitness first!"
"Got it, got it!" said Cedar bitterly, as if shaking his arm, "then I'll go back first, don't be lazy, Mr. Jean asked me to take the talk, he will come over tonight to check your theory." ”
"Okay......" Harden sighed reluctantly, casually waving his hand in response.
-
After walking out of the room, Cedar slowly said to Noborea: "Harden has been in a bad mood lately. ”
"We have to be considerate of him, he's under a lot of psychological pressure. ”
"It's kind of scary...... He had been staring into my eyes just now - he couldn't see it, but I think he did stare straight at me...... Does he suspect that the enemy is disguised as us?"
Dengzhi paused for a moment, and then spoke cautiously: "It seems that we really have to talk about it." ”
"yes, I'm going to have to let everyone take some time to talk to him. I don't know if I noticed the vigilance in Nominee's tone, Cedar replied.
"Zhaohua's side is the same, he is too unstable, after all, there are demons in his body. ”
"I always feel so bad, like an opponent is a companion......" Cedar seemed to say to himself, "I can't go on like this!"
"What's wrong?" a soft inquiry came from the top of the stairs, and Cedar looked up, it was Zhaohua.
"Zhaohua?"
"I'll ...... Mental health counseling. Zhaohua smiled and lowered his eyes in embarrassment, and finally answered.
"But your situation is not psychological, is it? not your fault. ”
"It's hard to define whether it's a dual personality or not, but it's similar after all......" Zhaohua stood side by side with him, his tone firm, "I won't be manipulated." ”
"Well, that's right!" Reassured by Zhaohua's attitude, Cedar also nodded, "Where are you going next?"
"Go and report to Mr. He, and then get trained. ”
"Then let's go together, I also want to go and talk to Mr. He about something. ”
The two walked in silence for a while, and Cedar spoke again: "We got rid of a lot of evil spirits last night. ”
"yes, everyone is tired, Ivan and they haven't gotten up when I got up this morning. Zhaohua responded, paused and said, "It's Cedar you, you've been working hard lately, but your mental state is very good." ”
"I'm too weak, so I asked Nominee to supervise me to exercise early. Because of the 'rebirth' of Nobuzhi, I can quickly recover my physical strength and magic power, so I should work harder," Cedar smiled embarrassedly, "I want to become a contractor worthy of Nobuzhi as soon as possible, and then become a qualified Heavenly Punisher." ”
"It's so energetic, it's good. ”
Because He Yanfang praised him every time, saying that he could play an irreplaceable role in the group, which made him full of a sense of mission. Nominee said lightly, which made Cedar look shy again.
"Don't get me wrong, Zhaohua, Mr. He...... You know, everyone is full of shining points, he didn't just encourage me, but I remembered everything he said, and when I thought that I could reduce the pain of everyone's battle, I felt that I should work harder......" Cedar explained uncomfortably, and slowly lowered his voice again, "Treatment is the essence of 'rejuvenation'. Now I can only treat myself and develop a very limited number of prints...... If it could be as big as Sister Xinli's seal, would it be able to serve as a shield for the entire city, or if I mastered the technique of diverging power at a fixed point, I would be able to cure Harden's eye...... Or, if you can master the penetrating power of divine magic, maybe you can help you get rid of Musk......"
"Cedar ......" Zhaohua was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly, "But don't put too much pressure on yourself, it's easy to evolve by mistake." ”
"Huh?" Cedar turned his head to look at Zhaohua, only to see a slightly sad and self-reproachful expression.
Zhaohua smiled self-deprecatingly and lowered his head: "Like me, in order to reach the realm of self-preservation and even higher as soon as possible, I accepted the power of the demon. ”
"Just correct it, isn't it?" Nobueda said calmly, which made Zhaohua slightly frown.
The atmosphere that followed finally changed to the same as when we used to go to and from school together...... No, Cedar felt that they were closer than before, they were just classmates who could talk about trivial matters, but now they are partners with common aspirations, and they understand each other's feelings better.
That's right, he thought, they should be closer, if the deceased is a conspiracy of the Demon King, it is a treacherous plot to make them infighting.
Thinking like this, he somehow flashed Harden's dark red terrifying gaze in his heart.
-
"You're here, you look pretty good!" Sure enough, it was Jean who came out to greet him, and the red-haired youth looked bright, "The branch reported that the tracking was going well, and that Harden's spell had been revealed. ”
"Great!" Cedar was also excited.
"Brother is in the study, go ahead. I still have to talk to the branch about something, eat snacks and drink tea casually. Gene smacked away, looking busy.
The two of them walked through the corridor painted with flowers and birds of the four seasons, and He Yanfang had already poked his head out of the study.
"It's rare for the two of you to come together. He Yanfang smiled and welcomed them in.
"That seems like that...... Because Zhaohua doesn't play with Harden very much...... Do you think Harden and Ivan are a bit noisy?"
"No...... I just don't think there's anything in common......" Suddenly asked by Cedar, Zhaohua muttered quietly.
"Ivan told me that you have always been very shy, and he wondered if he was too noisy to like you, and every time he saw you, he was nervous and wanted to tease you to talk," Cedar laughed, "It seems to be a misunderstanding, don't worry, Ivan can talk about everything, don't you play the violin, he will have a flute and sing, and it is okay to talk about music! Speaking of which, Sally can also play the violin, you can do an ensemble or something." ”
"That's a good idea," He Yanfang said with interest, "Do you know that Harden can play the harmonica?"
"Harden, he didn't say anything, let him brag about it next time......" Cedar said and made a bitter face, "Why do you suddenly feel that I am the only one who has no special skills, obviously I also participated in calligraphy and painting training classes when I was a child, and I still don't know anything." ”
"If you have time in the future, you can let Jean teach you, he can draw and make music...... "He Yanfang said again, "Speaking of which, what is the matter with you looking for me?"
"Ah, I'm not in a hurry, Zhaohua, you can say it first," Cedar wasn't in a hurry, "Do I need to avoid anything?"
"It's not important, just to report the results of the counseling, and this is the report. Zhaohua handed the document to He Yanfang.
"It doesn't look serious, it's fine," He Yanfang smiled slightly after reading the diagnosis, "Put me here first, and I'll let Jean see it then." ”
"Hmm. What you just looked at was ......" Zhaohua nodded, and then noticed the books and patterns on He Yanfang's desk.
"The information sent by the Xuanshi branch is helpful in treating Harden's eyes. ”
Cedar leaned over to see it, and as expected, it was completely unfamiliar words.
"Harden's eye can be cured, don't worry," He Yanfang assured, "but before that, I have to ask you to appease him more." ”
"No problem, you're welcome, Mr. He, Harden is our friend. Cedar said, noting the butterfly specimens and notes on the table.
"Ah, I forgot to put it away just now, these were also sent by the Xuanshi Branch, one of your senior sisters is very interested in these, and I often discuss herbology and entomology with her. He Yanfang explained, picking up the butterfly specimen.
It was a butterfly with a wingspan of about 100 mm, with a black body and wings, and emerald green scales between the veins like jade bands, shining like a mountain stream in the forest with his movements.
"What kind of butterfly is this?" asked Cedar.
"The green and green butterfly is also widely distributed in the original world, and if you go to Yunnan, you may be able to see it. There are also many beautiful butterflies and moths in Yunnan. ”
"Is it called Bo Lucui because of this shimmering green?"
"No, the way to pause is the wave green-emerald butterfly, which belongs to a species of the genus Emerald Butterfly. As for the origin of the name, I haven't thought about it...... The Latin name is written Papiliopolyctor, and the species name polyctor is the personal name Polluctor, maybe it's just a literal translation, but isn't it more interesting to think of the wave green as this metallic green wave?" He Yanfang looked at the butterfly carefully, "The forewings have velvety sex markers, and in addition to the obvious large spots formed by the concentration of emerald green scales on the hindwings, there are also a series of less obvious meniscus blue narrow spots on the sub-outer edge, which is a male butterfly. ”
I didn't understand it very well, and the butterfly didn't seem to be particularly outstanding at a glance, but Cedar still listened carefully, and then sighed: "Is it because I've been learning Gen school spells, I seem to be more interested in flowers, birds, insects and fish." ”
"It seems that Dengzhi and Xin Li have both brought you a positive influence," He Yanfang said, and then looked at Zhaohua, "Not only Komatsu, but you can also observe more nature, the veins of butterfly wings, the arrangement of petals, and the water marks on the edge of the lake...... Many of the magic patterns are similar to these, which is quite interesting to study. ”
"Just like the rebirth pattern of the climbing branch is a stretched vine flower?" After Cedar answered with great interest, he suddenly cheered up again, "Speaking of which, Mr. He, I actually want to ask you to teach me the magic crest!"
Seeing He Yanfang's surprised expression, he added confidently: "I know I don't have a foundation...... I just know that you are a good heraldic master, and you also teach heraldry to new Heavenly Punisher on Cursed Island, so I would like to ask you what knowledge you need to do before learning...... I'll be down-to-earth, so I'll ask what else I should do like this......"
After listening to this, He Yanfang laughed happily: "Yes, it's rare that you are so self-motivated, the knowledge of heraldry, it's not easy to say, but it's not difficult to say." But I'll give you a condition of admission, practice with Ellie first, and if you can last two hours under her, then you can come to me and start learning heraldry. ”
"I'm good at delaying tactics, don't regret it, Mr. He!" Cedar cheered up, "I'll go to Wang Zhen's senior to find her now! Zhaohua, do you want to come and take a look?"
"I'll have to wait for Mr. Jean, and I'm not going. ”
"Alright then, I'll go first!"
Seeing Cedar running out energetically, He Yanfang smiled again: "It's really rare, everyone is working hard, but it seems that only Komatsu has such a feeling of vitality." ”
"Cedar's energy seems to have been released after encountering Dengzhi," now that he is not so nervous about getting along with He Yanfang, Zhaohua agreed, "Although I feel that Dengzhi is a big sister with a relatively cold personality, her influence on Cedar is quite positive." ”
"Yes, the tremendous magic of Nobueda gave Komatsu encouragement, and through the long-term vision, the evil lord may have also given him a vision of progress. ”
"Does he want to be such a powerful plant manipulator......
"Do you remember what he said, the dream of the peach capital," He Yanfang looked at the layers of green waves outside the window and smiled, "Even the god of Jumang thought it was great when he mentioned it to me." ”
"The cedar is growing, and the momentum of breaking through the soil with plants......" Zhaohua's voice was soft, "I think...... It's so dazzling. ”
"Dazzling...... I feel like you're all growing, and in my opinion, you're all very bright. ”
"Including me?"
"Of course, you and Komatsu have similar wishes, and you want to use Musk's power because you want to protect. I want to change the status quo of powerlessness and want to open up a new path, so Komatsu woke up Noboree, and you woke up Musk. It's just ......" He Yanfang paused, and fell into thought again, "The difference is probably spiritual independence and dependence. ”
"Cedar still relies on Noboru in action, but his spirit is independent, and he and Noborea are mutually reinforcing partners, while I, ...... spiritually dependent on Musk and controlled by Musk" Zhaohua nodded, and the blandness and sobriety in his tone seemed to be beyond the cognition of his peers, "At the beginning, I could still have a sense of superiority over Cedar, but Cedar has transformed from the predicament of incompetence, like a chrysalis about to feather." His future will be bright because he is determined and I can feel his transformation. ”
Hearing his literary and artistic words, He Yanfang just smiled indifferently and fiddled with the butterfly specimen in his hand: "Butterfly changes...... It's a beautiful word, but as a life, the new wings represent not only beauty, but also the courage to open up a new way to survive and take more risks. ”
Turning to look into Zhaohua's eyes, he said softly: "Komatsu's strength really lies in that determination, to protect himself and everyone, even if he will endure more hardships. But I think this remarkable determination is not only manifested in him, you, Abel, Ivan...... You're all training for this. If you have a common determination, you will not be divided by the dead. ”
"'People who love each other should not quarrel. Because there are only two of them, and it is the whole world that opposes them. As soon as they are estranged, the world will conquer them'. (Hemingway's "Farewell to Arms") Zhaohua whispered to himself.
He Yanfang's expression brightened again: "Yes, right, isn't the truth the same? We are partners who are fighting for the same goal, and we should not have any suspicions." You are troubled by your identity and dare not integrate into the group, Ivan is afraid to communicate with you because of your silence, and Harden is suffering from the torture of the curse and refuses to communicate with you again...... But fortunately, you are still trying to strengthen yourselves, and you are trying to understand each other, and we will not be defeated. ”
That's right, you can't just watch the cedars grow. Zhaohua nodded lightly and smiled with relief. His eyes cast out the window, the typhoon passed yesterday, still carrying the layers of green waves that were wet yesterday, and the afternoon sun was sparkling.
