Chapter 314: The Picture Book of the Sea of Purple Locust Trees
"Now you're broadcasting live from the Purple Locust Tree area in the Fifth Northern District."
In a field of propellers and the sound of the wind, the host opened the hatch, and the hazy sky and earth were reflected on the projection screen, and countless residents of the four-leaf crystal were also sitting in front of the screen watching this scene at the moment.
The yellowing barren earth, with dry soil particles and bare stones, and no vegetation here, the whole land is like the back of a giant tortoise, and the jagged stones emerge from the soil with no end in sight.
The autonomic unit in charge of the camera flew out of the rotorcraft, soared into the sky, and then forward, from which a slanted and dry world could be seen, with only a touch of white in the distance and distant clouds in the sky.
"Today is an important day, because the Emerald Skirt purification program will be officially launched today."
"After 6 months of preparation, about hundreds of large enterprises have invested, nearly 10 million people have participated, and countless materials have been prepared, all for this day."
"Now, let's witness it!"
After saying that, the field of vision kept zooming out, and then turned to the sky.
Large planes with a wingspan of nearly 100 meters joined in a line, carrying a roaring roar across the sky, and these iron-gray steel behemoths set off waves of air that crushed the clouds, and when they were combined in a row, they stretched like a tsunami like a mountain to the end of the sky.
Dozens? Hundreds? Or perhaps thousands, the nearly 100-kilometer line of planes swept across the sky like a wave, and then the belly of the plane opened, and countless white cylinders resembling aerial bombs were released.
When these cylinders fall, they unfurl their spiral wings and gradually hover in the sky, like thousands of dandelions spread across the sky.
Large planes were sown all the way, and then countless 'dandelions' fell, and they formed a three-dimensional array in the sky, the top layer was close to 10,000 meters in the air, and the bottom layer flew close to the ground.
After a few minutes, an invisible ripple spreads, and each suspended dandelion glows with blue and white flashes of light, and then slowly unfolds.
The outer shell of the cylinder flipped and hung down, revealing the transparent flawless crystals placed inside, the 'rhythm crystals' bearing the mark of seven-edged wings.
"Now, let us listen to this song of hope."
A crystal clear rhythm crystal lit up in the sky, emitting a golden halo, like an orange-red crystal reflecting the sunset, and then the ripples spread, and other crystals in the surrounding area of nearly a kilometer were also lit up, and then spread one by one.
Almost instantly, thousands of rhythm crystals lit up here, and the whole world was blurred here, becoming a red sunset sky.
In the quiet concert hall, a girl in a dark red rose dress sat on a wooden bench, watching the scene, gently playing the violin on her shoulder until the sun covered the sky.
Then a soft song sounded, and tiny ice crystals gradually formed in the sky, at first there was only one point, and then extended in six directions, and the corners of the crystals gradually became complex, and then these tiny ice crystals slowly floated down in the sky, and they collided with each other in the middle of the way, connecting with each other to form a flocculent.
The song "In Praise of the Golden Rose" was a song that Tilan, who had heard Isenisa hum alone in that distant dream, and now she followed her memory and sang it softly again.
In the beginning, the song did not have specific lyrics or names, it was a melodic tune that Isenisa hummed spontaneously, and then as Isenisa became famous, countless lyricists and musicians wrote the music and lyrics for this melody.
Compared to other singers, the halo above Isenisa's head is too dazzling, the founder of the Rose Federation, the first singer, the legend of breaking free from the darkness of the Fifth Age, etc., there are countless stories and legends about her, no one believes that it is just a simple and random melody, which must contain Isenisa's most sincere emotions and wishes, the origin of everything, the germ of countless hopes, and so on.
Compared with the regrets of the "Cobalt Blue Tears" Amularin, the "Flower of the Golden Flame" Isenisa's life can be described as complete, she did everything she wanted to do, and left no regrets, even if she was close to death, she slept peacefully.
Recalling the afternoon in her dream, she wandered through the deserted castle, and followed this simple melody to find the singer sitting by the small window watching the scenery, and the picture was still so clear.
Slowly, the song gradually ended, and Tilan opened her eyes again, looking into the distant sky.
Dandelions and snowflakes all fell from the sky, and the sky became exceptionally clear, clear to the point of clear and colorless glass, like a faintly purple blue, and even if you were not at the scene, you could smell the clean and clear air.
Snowflakes cover the earth, and the previously barren world is covered with 'snow', after which the 'snow' condensed by these extraordinary substances will be loaded and transported, and they will be put into mineral refining plants everywhere, separated and purified into new special crystals, and then the pollution and corrosion of the entire North 5 District will be cleaned up, and the world that is no longer corroded by poisonous rain will be reborn.
It's April again, and along the rolling hills, the train moves unhurriedly along the tracks.
The golden metal body of roses, mottled with veins of flowers and leaves, with a rhythmic slight crash, the train climbs up the hill, and then a sea of light green and lavender flowers appears, covering the world beneath the hill.
Facing the early spring breeze, the train descends the mountain road and takes passengers into a world full of fresh grass and faint floral scents, and occasionally small flying insects fall through the windows, roll on the table, and then jump away.
The sightseeing train drove into this nearly one-meter-deep world of flowers and plants, and instantly a cool breath also poured into the interior of the carriage, so that the passengers were awakened.
"This is the No. 1 train of the Purple Locust Tree Sea Sightseeing, which has now entered the depths of the region, and now it is up to me to tell you about the history of this land."
Announcements on the train tell sightseers about the land hundreds of years ago, when it was a forest of green locust trees and a famous national park in the emerald skirt......
As they listened to the announcements on the radio, the passengers' horizons continued to expand with the train, until finally the train stopped on a small hill, where the town had been built for less than a month, and the remnants of the past had been resettled by the government, and a number of restaurants and inns had been opened for tourists to rest.
"The steps here are wooden." Stepping on the floor of the platform, you can hear a significant bang bang sound when you stomp on your boots, which is a bit retro.
Looking up the boots, the 18-19-year-old woman wore a coffee-colored trench coat with a thin sweater that showed off her curves and trousers at the bottom, and her long chestnut hair was cut short at the ears but left at the back of her head, tied together and falling around her waist.
"Probably the wood is more in line with the cultural atmosphere of the sightseeing spot." A gentle black-haired girl stepped out from behind her, holding a white kite with smooth feathers in her arms.
"Let's go with it, Tilan." The woman invited the girl beside her, and the two walked together to the sea of flowers that dotted the hillside outside the station.
Tilan, who is in her fourth year of high school, still looks the same as in the past, with a beautiful figure, a dreamy appearance, and the same height.
Compared with Tilan, Irene, who is next to her, is much taller and more generous, currently close to 170 tall, plus she likes to wear boots and high heels, standing next to Tilan, who is wearing small leather shoes, the difference is even more obvious.
The two of them walked down the steps, stepping on the soft grass, occasionally smelling the sap of the grass on the tip of their noses, and there were other tourists walking and watching the scenery on the hillside, and the sound of locals sweeping the weeds in front of their houses with herbicides could be heard in the nearby town.
Descending the hillside, the deeper they went into the sea of flowers, the fewer tourists around them, and finally Tilan and Ireen found a suitable place to sit, this is a small hill, and down there is an empty sea of grass, which rises and falls in the early spring breeze.
"The sun is so comfortable, I really want to take a nap here." Irene said, then fell with her head up, her hands outstretched, and landed in the grass.
"Don't you sleep, I see that you are usually very sleepy." Seeing that the girl in the white dress and black hair on the side was still looking into the distance, Irene asked curiously.
"I took a nap when I was rocking in the car just now, but now I'm not so sleepy." The girl replied, then stood up.
The world under the sun is always so sparkling, even the ordinary grass becomes vivid and vivid, and the fine sunlight through the blades of grass is so moving that people can't help but want to reach out and grab it.
"That's nice." The girl murmured softly, perhaps only at this moment did she really understand Isenisa's mood back then.
What kind of mood did the singer who brought the dark Fifth Age to an end and dragged the entire civilization out of the ruins and rebuilt it to see the flowers and plants blooming all over the mountain.
Quietly enjoy the fluttering of the hair in the ears, the sound of the wind blowing, the hot top of the head, the coolness through the skin, the grass that shakes the calf is slightly itchy, the girl is silent for a long time, until a gust of wind blows, rolls up the girl's skirt, blows the woven sunhat, and floats into the distance.

In March 1255, the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Domain officially launched the environmental purification plan, and launched the first round of purification and cleaning in the fifth area of the north of the jade skirt.
On that day, about 672 large transport planes flew side-by-side over the North 5th Sector and scattered the prepared 'Rhythm Crystals', which were then repositioned in the sky by the Autonomous Unit, and when they were ready, they were activated together.
Crisp music like wind chimes and ice cracks sounded and spread in the sky, nearly 10 million rhythm crystals resounded and bloomed in the sky above the North Fifth District, golden glow spread all over the sky and the earth, and then the extraordinary impurities in the air were condensed and gathered, and then turned into snowflakes, this scene was recorded by well-known photographic artists, and later as a permanent historical memorial of the four-leaf crystal star field, preserved in the archives, and named "Snow in the Sky".
After the end of the night, the next day, trucks began to drive to the North 5th District to sweep and load the falling 'snow' and transport it to various mineral refineries.
After cleaning the polluted environment of the North 5th District, the toxicity of the environment has been reduced to a very low level, and it no longer hinders the normal growth of plants.
Later, railroad tracks were laid again in the North 5th District, which was watered by pumping groundwater and then planted with seeds of various plants.
After a month of spreading manure granules and watering, a large part of the North 5 District gradually regained vegetation cover, and the ancient arborists of the Northern Region also entered the area again and began to plant trees and vegetation to restore the ecological environment of the past.
In late April, the sightseeing train to the North 5th District opens for only 100 federal dollars, and many tourists come here to enjoy the scenery along the way, and to visit the old buildings of the North 5th District to learn about the history of the area.

Half an hour later.
"Would you like something to drink?" Erin stood behind Tilan, looking at Tilan who was sitting on the grass and painting, a little fresh and curious.
"Just clean water, I don't like drinks that are too sweet." The girl looked up at Irene who was covering her head.
"Okay~" Irene nodded, but she was not in a hurry to leave, but pointed to the drawing board in front of the girl.
"Is Tilan painting the landscape in front of the hillside?"
Compared to some delicate drawings, the drawing board in front of Tilan is only painted with light green colors, combed through the brush, like messy and shaking blades of grass, mixed with a few bright yellow and light purple dots, like flowers blooming in a sea of flowers.
"Yes."
"It's beautiful."
"Actually, it's not as good as it is." The girl responded with a smile.
"I'm just scribbling on my mood, probably just trying to remember the vivid colors I saw today."
"I'm not good at everything, and I'm still self-aware of this, but I'm very relaxed, and I didn't think that I would learn to draw well, just apply slowly and relaxed."
As the girl spoke, the brush held in her fingers continued to slowly smear on the drawing board, looking at every texture and tiny groove that the brush's fibers combed, and the bright colors under the sun appeared on the canvas again.
"That's right, Tilan."
Hand the cool, refreshing bottle of mineral water to Tilan, and the light and shadow at the bottom of the bottle swaying on the canvas like the reflection of water waves on the surface of the lake.
"Huh?"
"Do you have a name for this one you painted?"
"Name." The girl unscrewed the mineral water bottle and drank it in small sips, and the cool water droplets entered the body along the throat, and a cool sobriety spread in the body.
"It's called "Sea of Purple Locust Trees"."
"There don't seem to be big trees here." Irene helped Tilan comb the hair behind her, looked at the delicate earlobes that were clear in the sun, and couldn't help but touch them.
"Whew, it's a little itchy." The girl withdrew her hand and turned her head to play with Irene, just like the two of them had done when they were children.
"I know there are no big trees, but just looking at this sea of flowers, I can imagine the forest and the sea of trees that will flourish in the future."
"So, even though it hasn't arrived yet, I still congratulate and pray for it."
