Witch Forest Friends Club

If there is no accident, the alchemy classroom will continue to be covered in the shadow of your past glory, and I will live in seclusion in the oak forest that no one cares about for the rest of my life, thinking about how to let the sun break through the fog and protect this small world .

In those good times, the tree species planted with you are still thriving under the care of the Great Barrier—I hope that one day, a new tree shepherd will be born among them, in the blue sky that I never touched when I was young* *, sprouting branches under the flowing water and light wind, instead of growing in the dark mist and suffering from the distortion of nature.

The life they are experiencing now is the life I dreamed about day and night when I was very weak.

You often mentioned the "meaning of life" to me before, whether it was sighing or talking, it was a profound and soul-stirring topic.

But I'm just a tree shepherd, and I don't have the ambition and power to shake the world. These hands shaped by you can do the most cruel deeds -- only to endanger the life of the oak forest. Go away with pain.

I am not good at fighting, so I can only guard my own woodland and provide insignificant shelter for the weak beings.

Only when I want to protect the Mushroom Man and good children like Xiaoan, will I have the consciousness to feel the "meaning of life" and fight for it.

In addition, I recently got a new woodpecker named "Lily". Every time she pecks at me, she can trigger some emotions that have been hidden in the back of my mind for a long time. , I really enjoy this feeling of letting go of myself and unpacking the burden of the past.

After you left, my life was fine.

It's just that the ecology of the sunken tree sea is much more complicated than in the past. After all, the forest has changed the way of survival of too many species under the changes caused by the fog age and the spread of star stones.

In addition, the changes in Galantia may be of interest to you.

Although I am only an independent witness, I also found that the internal rhythm of the school is subtly changing with the footsteps of the outside world - Mrs. Stella has disappeared, and the school is under the guidance of the Ten Covenants , but was more deeply involved in the mundane struggle.

Sometimes I also try to stand in your position and think about the attitude of the Xuegong collective towards you, as well as the problems you are facing in your own heart.

I ask myself, besides Mrs. Stella, is the person who knows you best in this world.But even after going through the journey across the vast fog and spending a long time together in the academy - I found that I have never fully understood your heart. After all, the human mind is as vast, deep and changeable as a dream in the world. Intertwined influences and intertwined changes with the human heart are the most elusive cycle of growth and decline in the world.

And the thoughts hidden deep in your heart—I’m afraid it’s more incomprehensible to me than the mysterious runes in your eyes that coexist with the origin and are like a necklace of stars.

But thinking about it now, maybe I have been relying on you in the past, like trees in the golden age relying on sunlight to grow-let me take the days with you for granted, instead of thinking about how I should face the "meaning of life" "This ancient problem.

As a result, only after experiencing painful farewell and destruction can one wake up and adapt—just like the arrival of the foggy age, the trees merged with the power of starstones to continue their lives.

You often say that alchemy and philosophical thinking are the staff to help you advance on the road of witchcraft.

The origin of alchemical thinking is to build a bridge between man and the source through natural philosophy, and it has the same source as the forest school's concept of witchcraft inheritance.

However, most spellcasters in this world have failed to understand the true meaning of this "bridge"——

Just like the forest witches in the peninsula, no one yearns for a life of eating wind and drinking dew in the mountains. This is probably a decline for Rosella's inheritance.

But in the fallen rotten wood, new vitality is naturally born.

Listening to Xiao An's report, the number of "Piper Sisters" joining the Academy and the Great Workshop of Twilight City is also increasing year by year, from learning family witchcraft as they like, to studying obscure academic knowledge, The changes and confusion they have experienced must be quite difficult to walk, but they can see the path of hope and happiness.

Lord Rosella is even more indifferent to worldly affairs than I am. She, who has been exiled in the dream of the world all the year round, will rest assured that her beloved disciples will go on the road today, and it is also out of respect for their free will choice.

The dreams and flowers of life of the younger generations will naturally bloom during the pilgrimage.

Just like my Xiaoan - I don't know what her dream, her ideal meaning of life is?

I even sometimes guess that the dream she wants to realize is to build a mushroom kingdom?

After all, she really likes mushrooms, and she is willing to experience the existence of mushrooms with her heart, and think rationally about how to build a bridge between mushrooms and Dayuan—like a king immersed in her own soul paradise, whether it is character or thinking , all changed to be very close to her mushroom people.

I gifted her a staff—named "Heart Bud", which was carved from a branch of my body. In order to make this staff, in addition to the heritage of the tree shepherd, I used learned from you.

Xiaoan likes my gift very much. She transformed the staff into a "miracle staff" that can resonate with mushrooms—as long as the fungus net rooted in her heart never fades, this staff will always accompany her in her growth on the road of seeking truth Bar.

In addition, Xiao An, who likes to be alone, has become friends with a child named Elsa in recent years.

Although I have never deliberately inquired about it, Lamir will take extra care of this little academic witch from the "Valley of Tears" in the north. It is also your request. She must also be a junior you recognize.

Xiaoan once told me that she behaved strangely when she made friends, as if she was not used to it but was a little bit happy in it.

After all, this child enjoys the convenience of being lonely, and doesn't bother to waste time on trivial matters in interpersonal relationships—but I can tell that she is actually very good at getting along with people, but she is covered with a layer of rational and indifferent armor, guarding against A sincere heart, unwilling to hand it over easily.

This kind of her reminds me of you back then.

He also remembered the time when Mrs. Stella and Lord Rosella understood each other and established a covenant.

She is really like you.

It would be great if the friendship between Xiaoan and Elsa can also overcome the test of the tour and become a bridge that cannot be shaken by fate and time like we did back then.

In fact, when I encouraged Xiao An to participate in the parade, I couldn't bear it.

She will inevitably experience the confusion and suffering that our generation has never experienced before. She will experience the impact of violent times and earthly storms. The world is shrouded in pain. , will be a roadblock that hinders her progress.

140 years ago--

It took us ten years to complete the tour across the peninsula, re-established the order of the Mirage Peninsula, and was able to comfort the noble souls who died halfway.

Afterwards, the Academy was established, and the ruins of the ancient witchcraft dynasty Galantia were once again revived by the Stella School.What a glorious era this is.

You must also be proud of it, because the starry sky that shines on the peninsula has a share of the brilliance of your silver magic chain.

50 years ago, you left the academy, abandoned the name of "Scale" bestowed by the Stella school, and went looking for the Sleeping Witch, and then disappeared without a trace.

I learned that when you reappeared, you were already a member of the Northern Witches Society.

Lord Rosella abided by the contract with you, and did not tell me the reason why you chose to do so.

I also know that there is nothing in the world that remains unchanged—not to mention that human beings are contradictory and fickle creatures based on their own circumstances before facing the changes caused by fate.

Today, the lights in five of the twelve constellation classrooms are always dark. Those figures who sacrificed themselves in search of the answer to the "meaning of life" and turned their fates away amidst differences and misunderstandings are all brothers and sisters of ours. sister.

Under the gray sky of the Fog Age, you are constantly looking for answers.

I hope that one day, you can tell me in person again, what is the meaning of life?

We came to Wenlan, a life that has been honed and rooted through countless tragedies——What is the answer to be verified in the vast dust and smoke of fate and history?

terribly sorry.

Although you gave me a body and let me embark on a pilgrimage, it is because of you that my roots are still deeply rooted in the Mirage Peninsula.

When you resolutely choose to leave, I cannot accompany you to witness the great dream of changing the world.

In the past 50 years, you should have seen too many scenery that I can't imagine.

Just like the star-falling tree in the north, what kind of miracle is it that shocks the soul?

But I still have to say -

Why do you just forget about me?

I didn't even bring me the token from the North Kingdom when I entrusted the kitten to visit the academy.

Chelsea, I miss you, even when you leave me behind - and the way your fingertips run softly through my hair.

I miss the smell of potion potion and dawn flower incense that you always carry on your body, the time when you slept peacefully and read in my tree hole, and all the journeys I have spent with you.

Chercia, I miss you, and those colorful misses have turned into the sunshine shining in this forest, and the wind, water and soil that accompany me day and night.

You once took a small tree from the land of rotten oaks in "Burstwater Mountain", but created my life.

I miss you, but like a bird can't cross the long fog, I can't leave the sea of ​​trees, but I hope one day my shade can cover you again.

After all, I am just your wood, and in the stubborn wood, there is also a beating heart——When I was a seedling, I was destined to beat for someone.

Chercia, you were once my ray of light, the silver magic chain that radiated the kingdoms, and the sage that many princes and generals admired to follow—everyone thought you would be Mrs. Stella's well-deserved heir.

On the battlefield of the Northern Kingdom, you have never given up on the most difficult and difficult path of truth-seeking.

If one day, my disciple comes to you, then she must have completed a certain degree of test and is qualified to walk side by side with you on the path of pursuing the truth and changing the world—to become a life like you that makes me proud .

If you want, please feel free to order her, although the choice is in her own hands.

My disciple is called Anjiaye.

Please trust her as you trust me.

In the end, I will ask her to ask for something on my behalf—the things you swore to witness on my behalf before you left must have condensed into a single 'pearl of the past' shining with the most magnificent luster in the world. .

Your eternally dull and sincere wood, Ludir.

The master of the alchemy classroom, "Silver Magic Chain" Chercia.

The zodiac witch with the "constellation"——she was once the third most well-deserved figure among the witches who established the peninsula covenant order.

Its great achievements still deeply affect many people on the peninsula.

The personal portrait of Ms. Silver Magic Chain without wearing the veil of night has been kept in the dusty tutor's office in the alchemy classroom. It is said that everyone who sees it is dazzled and fascinated. It is like a beautiful portrait with life, but it is finally used by tutor Rudir. Cover with thick cloth.

When Silver Magic Chain took office as the master of the alchemy department, she was regarded as the most qualified witch after Mrs. Stella to be the master of the school.

The Great Alchemy Workshop "Pandora" in Twilight City was established under her leadership. Even today, although it has been renamed "Star Founding Workshop", it is still a precious gift from the Silver Magic Chain to the peninsula.

Although the Great Workshop is still under the leadership of the Alchemy Department in name, the actual operation right has long been independent. At the beginning, most of the disciples of the Silver Magic Chain were restrained in the Great Workshop Palace and could not return to the Academy—the joint operation of the workshop in charge Parliament, with representatives from all disciplines.

Anjiaye's seniors and juniors, after graduation, almost all worked as technical and management personnel in the Alchemy Workshop in Twilight City.

PS: Thanks to Qianli Jiuxiang and Ginger Burning for the rewards, please work harder and get more tickets.

Chapter 110 Sewer Overlord, Slime Class with Aviel

I think this battle, like Pac-Man, is playing a game of slime eating mushrooms. ——"Ankaye's Chat Notes"

"Xiao An! Get rid of it, and you will have the core of the memory shell communication network!"

Facing the urgent crusade request issued by Avril, Anjaye maintained a consistent and cautious attitude.

In the plan to clean the sewer, the successive big battles have exhausted the girl, and compared to the blood fly that was just exterminated, this real sewer overlord named "Papalia" does not seem to be able to An easy opponent.

"Do you have any way to kill it?" Anjaye tried to seek advice from slime experts.

Fortunately, this mermaid was brought here tonight - based on the principle of making the best use of everything, even the most troublesome scourge can come in handy in the hands of her wise Miss An.

But Aweier has a bad attitude like a salted fish.

"It depends on Xiao An's performance. After singing just now, Aweier is already tired, so she can only leave the stage first. Someone needs to be a bait to help find out the slime's information."

"I think your stupid fish is quite suitable as bait." An Jiaye instantly pulled off a mushroom from the staff with a gloomy expression.

With the continuous absorption of the bright red liquid "Slime Droplets", the volume of the "Rotten Water Butcher" became larger and larger, and the blood fly corpses, garbage and creep that were originally covered by the gel were opened and fell ——The original appearance of Slime Roshan was also completely exposed to the girls.

The giant pig skull staring at them and exuding a poisonous mist of corruption is probably a resident pig who rushed into the depths of the sewer. I originally found such a place with plenty of food to grow with peace of mind, but ended up eating garbage and mutated. After fattening, it turned out to be slime's food.

And huge skeleton bones, sticking to the bright red pulsating slime gel skin, can be seen everywhere.

Just looking at the trophies of bones densely covered on the body surface, one can know the gold content of this cumbersome and brainless monster nicknamed "Rotten Water Butcher".

When "Papalia" made a weird sound of "plopping" and fused with the restless small slime splinter groups nearby, it completely restored its overlord appearance running rampant in the sewer.

In terms of body size, the King of Starstone Slime raised by Aviel is as small as the fruit panna cotta that Elsa can eat in one bite in front of the size of this native god.

"Xiao An, I don't want to fight with a pile of garbage that stinks of poop." Elsa complained with a bitter face, turned back into a kitten and slipped onto Anjaye's shoulder.

After all, it has grown in the sewer for many years. Slimes never refuse to eat. The ghost knows what kind of dirty things are the gel components that make up the "rotten water butcher". For kittens who are a bit clean, It is simply the ultimate source of pollution crawling out of the cesspit, lest we avoid it.

"Slimes can digest all spoilage, and can also expel unmelted hard nodules from the body. It's not as dirty as imagined. The cleaning of my station is all done by slimes." He retorted angrily, trying to correct Elsa's prejudice.

"Haha, it's growing mushrooms to feed flies, and feeding slimes." Gloria laughed at the two weirdos in her camp, "The dark wizard hiding behind the scenes has a common language with you witches."

"Don't confuse me with the scum of 'Apocalypse'." Anjaye hit Goliath with his staff with a black face, "I won't do such disgusting things with mushrooms."

"Barbarian, don't you like hunting?" Mowrsa said with ill intentions, "This slime is an aborigine god, you must really want a prize worth boasting about, go up and pick it up , let us see how powerful the Dragonborn is."

"I'm not stupid." Gloria sneered and glanced at Elsa, who wanted to stay out of the way and watch the show, and swung her big ax on several passing slime drops.

The blazing lightning instantly evaporated the slime into smoke, leaving only a shriveled and scorched gelatinous body. Even so, this gelatinous body was still attracted by an unknown force and crawled slowly towards the main body.

"The coercion of this slime is even stronger than the 'Madopathus' I hacked in the underground lake. It won't be too late for Xiao An to figure out the tactics."

"If there's a solution to the 'Rotting Water Butcher', speak up."

Seeing that the battle with the native god was inevitable, An Jiaye threatened the captured waste demon at his feet, "Otherwise, I will feed it with you first."

"That Flute of Dreams will do!" Trapped in the net of shadows, the devil Daniel panicked when he saw the huge scarlet slime approaching. It's fine."

"Who's going to blow it?" Anjaye revealed a cold look of distrust in his squinted demon eyes.

"My humble servant is willing to serve the lord witch." The demon Daniel squeezed out a humble and disgusting smile on his face that melted like a slug.

"Do you think I believe you?" Anjaye certainly couldn't agree, "As for us, we won't use magic tools that are full of the stench of demons."

The girl raised the staff of the heart bud, and a dark red slime droplet that had not yet had time to integrate into the body of the "rotten water butcher" was pulled by her with the "floating spell", forcibly separated from the fusion summon of the main body, giving It was thrown in front of Arvil's eyes.

"Quickly identify the resistance and weakness of this slime. I need information to formulate combat tactics."

Miss Mermaid was almost thrown in the face by this fidgeting slime, so frightened that she swung the shell-carved staff in a panic, trapping the slime with a ball of imprisoning water.

"Mushroom Shadows, stop the 'rotten water butcher'."

After ordering Avier to study the split body samples of "Rotten Water Butcher" on the spot, Anjaye decided to send the mushroom giant to buy time, and at the same time test the fighting power and physiological characteristics of the slime indigenous gods.
