Chapter 108: The Legend of the Tree Man

"That seems to be the case. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Catherine tentatively touched the wall, although the wooden wall felt smooth but uneven, it did seem to be the touch of a naturally growing tree, but it was difficult for the girls to imagine how to change the inside of a tree into a room, and even grow something like stairs automatically, so Catherine couldn't help but ask, "Did you design the shape of the room before a tree grows up, and then let it grow according to your design?" Aren't you going to have to wait for tens or even hundreds of years to live in a house?"

"No, even if the elves have a long life, they don't want to live in a house for hundreds of years, and you underestimate this tree, which is almost as old as my mother, at least older than the history of your neutrals. Vral shook his head and said: "We build a house is actually very simple, find a house tree like this in the forest, and then discuss with it if it wants to live together in the future, if it wants, we will take it back to the place where we want to live, let it re-root, and then we will tell it the shape of the space we want, and it will automatically change the structure of its body according to our needs." ”

"Wait, wait, I think my mind is a little messy. Catherine stretched out her hand to interrupt Vral's words, and looked at each other with her teammates for a long time, but still did not clear her mind, and could only smile wryly and said: "First, I want to confirm first, you just said, discuss with them? and a tree?"

"Of course, they are also beings, they are also children of the Mother Goddess, and if you want to live with them, of course, you need to ask for their consent first. "Maybe you humans have misunderstood our elves' control of plants, we never do anything against the will of plants, no matter what we ask them to do, whether it is flowering or fruiting, we consult and request them, not orders." ”

"It turns out that plants also have a will of their own. Vivien quickly took out her notebook and said as she wrote quickly on it, "This is a subject worth studying, since plants have their own minds, will there be some particularly intelligent individuals among them, such as Jack the Hydra in the swamp, if there are such individuals, will they think like people? If they think, what are they thinking? If they cut off some of them, will they still grow back? Well, it would be nice if they could test it, it would be better to do it." ......”

"Don't even think about it. Vral said with a smile: "They are our partners, not research objects, I really don't understand what you mages are thinking, fortunately the forest mages among the elves will not do this kind of thing, you give up, no one among the elves will agree to cooperate with you to do this kind of experiment." ”

"That's a shame. Vivien was still immersed in her own world, and she didn't bother with the treehouse anymore.

"Ahem, sorry. Catherine said embarrassedly, "Vivien, she is indeed fanatical at times, but we are also curious, do plants really have a will of their own?"

"In fact, the will of the plant itself is very vague, often only emotions such as joy, anger, and pain, and there is no specific will, so we only communicate with the plant simply. However, they were able to understand our requests clearly and respond quickly, and we didn't understand how they were thinking, but it was true. Vral nodded, leaned close to the wall and leaned against the tree, closed his eyes and was silent for a while before he said: "You see, I was asking about its current situation, it has lost its companion who has lived with it for many years, and it feels very lonely and sad, and I promised him that he would find someone to take it back to the depths of the forest in a few days, and it is very happy." ”

"It's lonely?" Pannis looked out of the room, and he didn't know how he judged the location, but he accurately identified the owner of the room he was in: "This tree, I remember it's the old man's house in Rice, I remember he likes to quarrel with people the most, the last time I came to him, I argued with him about the use of fighting qi when carving, he prefers the linear fighting qi method, I think the dot shape is better to use, neither of us convinced anyone, and finally because I was leaving, the dispute was put aside for the time being." Hmm, his house is lonely, so it's gone?"

"Well, after you left, more than twenty years later, his life will come to an end. Vral nodded, "He has lived for more than 1,900 years, and he has to come to this day." He was buried in the cemetery outside the royal court, do you want to go and see it?"

"Forget it, I'm afraid he'll crawl out and continue to quarrel with me. Pannis shook his head with a wry smile, and he didn't know what he remembered, and sighed and said: "Life is like this after all, even elves can't escape the call of death, let alone humans?"

"Separation is always inevitable, it's just a matter of sooner or later. Vral glanced at the girls and said leisurely: "However, it is better to be with them later than too early, and it is better to be with them for a thousand years than to be with them for a hundred years, what do you say?"

"Ahem, I actually have a question. Catherine hurried to say in a swift voice, "I heard you say just now, you will find someone to take it to the depths of the forest to settle down? ”

Furar was not angry at Catherine's interruption, but looked at her with a smiling expression, until the knight girl felt a sense of discomfort all over her body, and then said leisurely in a magnetic bass: "Otherwise, what do you think you should do?"

"It can't be true. Lina immediately rushed in front of Catherine and said curiously, "Did you really let them go by themselves?"

"Of course it's true. Vral smiled and nodded, "Haven't you heard of the legend of the Treants?"

"Is the legend of the Tree Man real?" Lina couldn't help but take off her backpack, rummaged through it for a while, and finally found a book to read and said: "That kind of body is a tree, but the roots of the tree can be transformed into two legs to walk on the ground, and the branches can be turned into two arms of the tree man? ”

"Actually, the Treants don't exist. Vral succeeded in his prank, his eyes narrowed with laughter, and he explained: "But it's almost the same, the so-called tree man is actually something that someone accidentally sees us moving a tree and then creates it out of thin air through his own imagination."
