"How did you know?" Eve was of course surprised when she heard Erinde say this—she was surprised that Erinde actually knew about it.

"It's from eavesdropping. I know my habits are bad, but sometimes I just can't help but eavesdrop on their conversations."

"Sigourney and Terian?"

Erinde nodded, "Thinking about it now, it seems that knowing this matter is not good for me. Delize and I grew up together, and Tyrian has always taken care of us like a mother. Originally... Delize and I are like sisters - just like Harsha and Alani are inseparable all day long. Later I learned of my own life experience, and I began to hate Delize... because she shared Tyrian's love equally ——It was supposed to be my only love for me. I know what I thought at the time was wrong, but how can a child think... just feel psychologically unbalanced."

Erinde sighed after saying this.

"Since you know, why don't you ask them to find out?" Eve said.

"I've been waiting, waiting for them to say it themselves." Erinde replied, "They must have their own difficulties... You also know what happened to me in the past: Tyrian threw me into the lake and was picked up by the islanders... Maybe my birth was a mistake. If my identity is made public, I think it will definitely shame Talian. She doesn't even want to admit it... even if she only admits this relationship in private."

"Maybe it's to protect you? Do you know who your father is?"

"I don't know, but I really want to know." Elinde said, "Actually, I have an idea, but I never dared to tell others. I was thinking... If one day, the dean allows me to go out to practice, I will go to this person."

"Do you have a clue?" Eve asked her.

"I..." Irene paused, as if she had finally made up her mind, "I think this person may be from Sheng Fengyue, and may be related to that Mrs. Hyde. Eve, I know you also came from Sheng Fengyue is here, when the time comes...can you help me?"

Eve didn't know how to answer her—or, if she should tell her the truth now.

"Yes, I know a lot of people there, and I will try my best to help you." Eve tentatively agreed.In fact, this is just a kind of appeasement, and she doesn't want to get too involved in this matter, or disrupt Sigourney's original arrangement-she thinks that she should tell Sigourney about this first , and then make plans.

"Thank you." Erinde received an affirmative reply, as if she had received great encouragement——about this matter, she finally took the first step.

But she didn't notice the flickering look in Eve's eyes—she wouldn't have thought that her good friend was thinking about how to betray her and tell her secrets when she went back.

[212]Rebirth under withering: the dream of the ancient times · Part [-]

The children of the fifth generation were still having a great time playing. They each set up a water cover in front of them and threw water polo towards their companions.

"Where did Erinde go? She said she didn't come back when she went to look for Eve. Did she get lost?" Tired of playing, Lopel swam to Lelier's side to inquire about Erinde's whereabouts. ——Although Erinde is usually very strict with them, the children all like her very much.

"Those two people are downstream, I'm watching." Lelier said.Thanks to the detection capabilities of the Oran Array, she knew exactly where the team members were.

"Where is it?" Loper asked.

So Lelier pointed it out to her.

"Oh, I see!" Lopel said, "shall we not go to them?"

"It's getting late, and it's really time to call them back." Lelier said.

"Just wait, I'll go find them." The little girl volunteered.

Lopel chanted a spell, causing the water below her body to rise rapidly, vaguely forming the shape of a swordfish's head. She rode this large transparent fish and swam towards the direction where Eve and Erinde were. She cast spells so fast that Lelier didn't even have time to stop it.Lopel drove the swordfish to wade through the deep water area. The body of this magical creature swayed in the moonlight, setting off a foot-high wave. The people who were playing around were beaten to pieces by the sudden big wave. Only then did they notice Lopel's whereabouts—then they followed closely behind, casting their spells and swimming towards the downstream direction.Originally, Stricky surrounded a relatively closed water area with miniature Oran, and she was quietly taking a warm bath with Kanian, but the water waves created by these girls mercilessly submerged their small circle.

"Where do these little bastards get so much energy? It seems that the road is still less traveled." She said.

Here, Erinde was having a heart-to-heart conversation with Eve, but in a blink of an eye, she saw a sudden change on the upstream water surface—it seemed that there was a wave of water rushing towards this side.

Black masses wriggled in the water - disturbed schools of fish - and these creatures, blind at night, scuttled about and bumped into their knees and thighs, and they cried out again Jumping out of the water.

Loper held the dorsal fin made of water with both hands, and kept chanting incantations in his mouth-this swordfish was not only stirring the water surface, but also sucking up the surrounding river water, and its shape became more and more Big, by the time Eve saw the appearance of this transparent monster, the waves of water had already surrounded them like a high wall.

Under the moonlight, Swordfish's head was raised high, and Eve felt as if a giant ship was about to run over her head, and Eileen's face turned pale with fright when she saw this scene, and she turned around almost subconsciously, wrapping her arms around Eve's waist tightly.

Eve obviously didn't have a good countermeasure for the coming huge waves. She searched for the spells she had learned in her mind, and finally only remembered a wind-proof magic that Erinde had taught her.However, just after she chanted a spell, she remembered that she was still naked at this time—the spell book was thrown on the shore by her.

The two looked at the raging water, even with a trace of despair in their eyes.Eve waved her arms and called Lopel's name loudly, trying to make her stop, but the sound of the water waves made her efforts futile.

And just as the huge waves capsized, a "hedgehog" suddenly fell in front of them—he stretched out a paw, and easily divided the big transparent fish into two halves.

Eve's eyes widened. It was the first time she had seen Hadra use magic.

Loper's creation was easily disintegrated by the little dragon, "Swordfish" scattered from above their heads like a broken water ball, and Hadera spread his bright wings, propping up a safe spherical space— —Eve saw that the river water under her feet was also receding, and finally only a piece of wet sand was left.

When Hadera stretched his body, his body became slender, and there were some shadows of high-level dragons—but he usually prefers to curl up.The ability of Hadra reminded Eve of Fugemanning, and they both seemed to have the ability to manipulate air flow—or in other words, fluid.

Erinde was lying on Eve's body, her body was slowly sliding down—she even passed out.Eve had to squat down and support her body with her shoulders.

"Centuffen always said that you humans are fragile, but you are easy to get carried away." The voice of Sindra resounded in this space, "But sometimes I feel the same... probably because of your bad habits."

The moonlight shone through the water, casting ever-distorting beams, and the golden thread tied around his head stood out at this moment.

"Thank you...for your help," Eve said.

"It's what I should—Elinde doesn't know how to use water, and Tyrian always makes me keep an eye on her. I'm glad I can come in handy." Medina said lightly.

A small figure fell from the water above their heads, interrupting their conversation - it was the most sinful Loper.

The surface of the water gradually calmed down, and Hadera left the scene before Loper found himself.Soon, the rest of the people gathered around, including Streki and Lelier - Streiki was so angry that she grabbed the little girl's ears and scolded her in public, which finally made her burst into tears.

"It's really satisfying." Aileen De, who woke up, commented.

At this time, except for Kani who was still wearing shorts, the witches standing around them were all naked, which made Eve a little at a loss - even in the academy, she had never entered a public bath.

But Eve was still curious after all, her gaze could hardly be restrained from sweeping over them, especially that tall Lelie... This woman's breasts are so straight.

Eve had vaguely felt before that women's body shapes seemed to be vastly different, far greater than the differences between men, and this time she finally had a personal experience.

She looked back to the shore. The waves just now had almost submerged the entire shore, but the small area where they kept their clothes was still dry.

Erinde also noticed the situation on the shore, and she said in Eve's ear, "Is it Yuqie? Could it be that he has been peeking at us..."

"Lopel had such a big fight just now, even the deaf should come and have a look."

"It makes sense, at least he is helping."

Eve thinks——tonight's weather is so good, if she is Yuqie, she might not be able to resist coming over to take a peek. What's more, Erinde has no real evidence, so she is willing to cut it for Yuqie. absolve.

Not only that, she was also a little thankful, if the clothes and spellcasting books were washed away by the river, it would be a big problem.

Early the next morning, the team continued upstream to the waterfall. Along a winding path near the campsite, they walked to the top of the cliff.There are few trees on the cliff, and just above the wide waterfall is an equally wide river, where the water flow is gentle, like a mirror with missing corners under the morning glow.

A group of people greeted the sunrise and felt the wind and scenery at the source of the waterfall.

The morning sun shines through the gaps in the trees, projecting diffuse gold, and passing through the sparse blue and green woodlands, the magic of the Parnas Forest is gradually revealed—the ferns stretch their straight roots, the emerald green shoots curl up into neat spirals, the pale and brown trunks are covered with mottled and lively toadstools, or clustered in clusters of fluorescent puffballs, insects spread their elytra covered with morning dew, and fly to the nearby branches— They have huge thin wings that dazzle like colorful rose windows in the sun.

And as they continued to go deeper, not only the trees became thicker and thicker, but even the flowers, fruits, plants and trees also became huge.

The ground here is rugged, and the shade of the huge trees makes the day almost night. When Eve looked up, the criss-crossing branches and leaves appeared surprisingly large.

A strong wind came, forcing the crowd to stop the horses and the white stag.

"This place is a bit strange, why do I feel... It's not that the tree grows too big, but we all get smaller?" Yuqie said.Not only did he think so, but everyone else felt the same way.

"That's true." Lelier said, "The last time we came here, the headmaster told us that this place is infested by 'dreams'—this kind of dream is called the dream of the Holy Spirit, and it has the power to interfere with reality."

Hadra was flying in mid-air, and after hearing this sentence, he turned around—he seemed to want to say something, but someone else took the conversation away.

"What is that?" Erinde asked, "What is the 'Dream of the Holy Spirit'?"

"Generally speaking, the ancient dragon clan called their emperor 'Holy God', and we are about to pass by a place called 'Deep Dragon Che', so I guess 'Holy God's Dream' probably refers to the dream of a dragon." Lelier replied——her tone seemed uncertain.

"It sounds a bit abstract. If a dream can interfere with reality, can it still be called a dream?" Eve said.

"Dreams of the dragon clan and people's sleeping and dreaming are actually two different things." Medina said at this time, "These two phenomena should be expressed with different words."

"Then tell me, what is the dream of the Dragon Clan?" Eve asked him.

"The dream of the Dragon Clan is connected to another world—a spiritual world shared by all ethnic groups, and in this dream world, the 'Holy God' is omnipotent."

"In other words, the Holy Spirit is not only the master of dreams, but also the ruler of a group?" Yuqie said.

"Yes, but the word ruler is not accurate. Rather, the Holy Spirit is the common mother of almost all members of a group." Saidra said.

At this moment, everyone present was looking at him—his words seemed to contain a lot of information.

"What is the 'common mother of all members'?" Stricky asked him, "Why, the ancient dragon clans were all matrilineal clans?"

"I have to remind you, don't use human eyes to look at those races you don't understand." Shen Dela said: "What kind of human society can develop depends to a certain extent on your reproduction mode. If human beings are like Would the world be different today if we reproduced like ants or bees?"

What would the world look like if, say, only one person—or only a small group of people—had the power to reproduce in a group?Will there still be the concept of a country?Who will rule society?Will a higher level of structure be born under this social structure?How are aggression and resistance defined?How should education and welfare be realized?

In other words, everything will become simple and cold: the concept of human rights will never exist again, because high and low are destined to be high and low—dictators will rest easy all their lives, idlers will have food to eat, and slaves will face the fate of being consumed. No complaints.Perhaps, under such a stable structure, people with different destinies will also have different levels of intelligence, and different classes will not have empathy.In a society where the maximization of group interests is the priority, the lower class—most people seem to be sacrificed, and as the mercy of the creator, the consumed class may not necessarily have self-awareness—theoretically In other words, this is entirely possible, because the emergence of self-awareness also requires some acquired conditions: part of it comes from the perception of the external environment (differentiation and inhibition, recognizing oneself as an object), and the shaping of culture and education (education, society's expectations of a person).

"So what do you mean?" Streiki asked, then suddenly thought of something, "Oh! That's what you mean by 'co-mother'?"

"I've never heard of such a thing." Le Lier said, "Could there be such a big difference between different dragon species? As far as I know, the breeding methods of galloping dragons and small flying dragons are very similar to those of birds Difference."

"That's 'them'—don't compare them to us. The ancient dragons can no longer reproduce, and all the dragon eggs you can see were born at least a few million years ago." Sindra said, "Not only that, but the dragons that can be born have only one gender. If you follow the definition of your humans, it can be said—all dragons born from eggs were originally 'male'."

"You said 'at first,'" Stridge said. "Could it be possible for them to become females in the future?"

"Either one or the other?" Medila's tone seemed to be contemptuous, "This is the only thing you can think of... Of course it's not a female, but it has the possibility of becoming a 'Holy God'."

"You also said before that the Holy Spirit is the common mother of the Dragon Clan—isn't the Holy Spirit considered female?" Stricky was a little unconvinced.

"Humans always refer to the earth as their mother, do you really see the gender of the earth?"

"You think that's an apt analogy?"

"Of course, because the dragon egg is the creation of the Holy God, not... born like you."

"I don't really believe it, it sounds like it's made up." Streiki frowned, but she thought again, from the existing human records, those talking dragons really can't lay eggs. "If that's the case... that is to say, the ancient dragon clan has only one gender from beginning to end?"

"No, there may have been females," said Sindra, "but it doesn't matter. I don't mean to offend the ladies, but it really happened... Of course, I also learned from Centurion about these things. I heard."

If what Hadra said is true, it can indeed be called subversive - not many people in this world know what happened before the first era, and they don't know anything about those ancient dragons that existed in ancient times, and even the descendants of dragons that are still alive today may not know where they come from.

Regarding the ancient dragon clan, the more Medra said, the more doubts the people had, so they were all quietly listening to the conversation between Stricky and Xiaolong, but since they were all staying in place at this time, Le Lil had to interrupt the two of them.

"Next, we're going to cross Shenlongche. That piece of water is huge—you have plenty of time to communicate," she said.

Eve still remembered that before coming here, Essin asked Lelier if she had prepared the boat, and she answered in the affirmative—but in fact they didn't bring the boat, could it be that the boat was put into the storage by Lelier?

Does she really have that much storage?The road came to an end, standing on the shore of this water, Eve was thinking about this question.

Rui Diluo picked up a needle leaf on the ground. The needle leaf was like a thin sword, and its length was about the height of the girl.

In this strange dream world, they seem to be as big as mice, while the sparkling lake water in front of them seems to be full of dangers - the lower gravity, the magnified water waves, Shenlongche is like the vast sea, it looks like that. The turbulence is deep and difficult to cross.

[213]Rebirth under withering: Dream of the Ancient One Part [-]

Lelier stood on the shore, holding an apple-sized ball of transparent silk thread in her hand—the resinous luster reminded Eve of certain durable synthetic polymer materials in another world.

"And then?" Stricky looked at her partner, "You can't stay here forever."

"The dean treats this thing as a treasure, and she gave it to me before she left." Le Lier said, "I wonder if she forgot something—for example, the spell to use it or something .”

Streiki shook her head, she grabbed the sphere in Lelie's hand, and threw it into the water without hesitation.

The silk ball floats on the water, swells at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then blooms like a flower—at this time, each transparent silk thread stretches outward, forming a three-dimensional net-like outline.

Eve was still marveling at the magic of this thing, while Lelie beside her threw another ball of the same thread.

Soon, the fine mesh was assembled into a large boat—the two large boats floated steadily, and those transparent silk threads were woven into a fine gauze mesh, just like the legs of a water strider, "stretching" on the water surface without getting wet at all.

Although these two boats look weird, they are surprisingly stable on the rippling lake: wide and flat bottoms, low sides, and flexible skeletons—perhaps they were designed for this.

"Invention of the elves." Seeing everyone's curious faces, Lelier explained, "Although this thing is useful, the dean has always refused to take it out—after all, without these two ships, There is no way to return to the elf land."

"Doesn't this ship look a little... ahead of its time? I thought the elf would use a big leaf to cross the river." Erinde said.

"Parnas is the hometown of the forest elves, and the elves here are different from the survivors outside." Lelie said, "If it is an exaggeration, in the eyes of these Parnas elves, humans may be more primitive."

"Elves are indeed much more complicated than we imagined, and they cannot be understood as tribes advocating nature." Yuqie said, "If we take humans as an example-even on both sides of the Tianxia River, the customs of the residents in the north and south It is quite different, not to mention these elves who have traveled all over the continents."

While they were gossiping, Streiki had led her horse into the boat, and to keep him from getting restless, she held a handful of berries in her hand to attract its attention.

"Are we going to take the animals on board?" Eve asked her.

"That's the only way, no one will care about staying here." Streki said, "mix the seeds of the bramble tree into the berries, and let them eat a little, it will have a calming effect. Of course, if you feel seasick , you can also take one, and you can sleep comfortably for a whole day."

"What kind of seed? I don't think I've ever heard of such a thing."

"The bramble tree, a small shrub that only grows in Parnas." Strickle leaned close to her ear and whispered, "It's a good thing - soak this thing in wine, drink a glass when you are insomnia, it's very good You will fall asleep soon, how is your sleep?"

"pretty good."

"Oh, you're still young, so you don't have this kind of trouble for the time being." But then, she said, "Do you want some? I picked some when I came here, and I can share some of them with you. Actually, the last time I came here , I wondered if I could get some seeds or branches back to plant, but it didn't seem to work, so I dug some soil here again this year, hoping it would be useful..."

Streiki gave Eve a glass vial, and she accepted it.There are some green or brown particles in the bottle that look like some kind of moldy beans.

"Is this thing dependent?" Eve asked her.

"Are you asking if it is addictive? Probably not, but it is poisonous." Stricky replied, "If it's just for sleep aid or pain relief, three or two pills in a bottle of wine is enough, and you only drink a small glass each time. But remember, don't mash the seeds - the medicinal properties are only in the epidermis."

Eve nodded and wrote down her words.

Laffer, the head deer, set an example for the white deer. It was the first to jump into the boat, and then the rest of the white deer jumped on board one after another.Seeing them trembling on the boat, Streiki also fed them some berries mixed with tree seeds.
