Evetrona's old stories

"Do you know the spellcasting book?" Eve asked her.

"Of course—back then, the guardians and supervisors had a copy." Pani said, "So I have already seen that you are not simple."

"Oh..." Eve really wanted to ask Pani about the Guardians and Overseers, but she knew so little about the old era that she didn't even know where to ask.

"After getting to know each other, why don't I tell you another secret, do you want to hear it?" Pani asked her.

"What secret?"

“It’s like—if you have big breasts and you’re wearing baggy clothes, it’s going to feel great when you’re floating in a library,” she said.

"Thank you so much, this secret is very useful to me." Eve said seriously.

In Parnas, due to gravity and physical factors, few people would wear bras, but in order to prevent the breasts from expanding, they would use something similar to a breast support—either inside or outside.

When they returned to the dormitory, the witches were sitting in a circle in the backyard, doing phased meditation exercises, while Sindra took the center position and fell asleep—this scene seemed to be holding some kind of cult ceremony.At this time, the luggage had been packed, and when they saw that Eve and Erinde had finally returned, they planned to leave immediately.

Outside the door, they saw Latori again—the elf who raised Sigourney and Tyrian.

"Idle is idle, you don't know the way, I can take you there, and I just want to meet friends outside," she said.

After bringing back the horses and white stags and fixing the saddles, and saying goodbye to Pani and Fochite, they embarked on a journey again, heading to the tribe where the Nymphs lived and the land of the Tree of Deep Space.

The tree of deep space is located almost at the uppermost part of the sanctuary, close to the border of this continent, where there are often transparent water masses floating in the sky, they seep down from the gaps in the rocks above the sky, and are attracted by the weak gravity, slowly drifting to the ground, and finally, they will belong to this land and become the source water of the Robin River.

On the outskirts of the forest city, on a crater, Eve saw a tall metal spire. It was dark and had a mirrored appearance, and the top of the tower was shining with blue light.

"This is the Gap Tower. Through such facilities, we can transmit information and data to Zhongguzhou and other settlements." Seeing everyone's curiosity, La Toli explained to them.

The light gap tower can temporarily generate a thin and smooth high-dimensional space tunnel, and transmit the optical signal. Its advantages are that it is efficient, fast, and free from interference from complex time and space factors.

The sky realm, the dream of the Holy God, the ether storm, and the sanctuary itself... These environments or energies that act on the time and space itself greatly increase the probability of signal attenuation, and they can even swallow light—this greatly limits the signal. transfer method.

For Eve, the Light Rift Tower was so familiar - she had seen this kind of thing on the Musk Rabbit Mountain before, and she guessed it was a kind of signal tower at the time.

Has there ever been a civilization similar to Parnas in the Musk Rabbit Mountain?Or, one day in the future, Forest City will gradually collapse, die, and be buried like Musk Rabbit Mountain, and finally become a ruined playground for ignorant children...

Maybe there are no exceptions, everything will be ordinary.

[229] Rebirth under Withering: The Ice Language of Summer Insects Part [-]

The outer settlements of Parnas have another look.

Forest cities, libraries, and settlements.A Parnasian's life seems to be hovering between these three.

People enjoy hoarding.Citizens hoard their senses to satisfy their desires; scholars hoard their wisdom for solace; and in settlements, the tribesmen hoard... food, and the hope of life.

As soon as they arrived at the settlement, Lelier, Eve and the others were surrounded by a group of tribesmen. Although they didn't understand the language, the friendly and warm atmosphere was real.

Led by La Toli, they walked along the tribe's stone road and finally arrived at the residence of the "grandmother".

In those settlements, one or several female elders are in charge of the property of the clan, and organize hunting and sacrifices. These highly respected persons can be regarded as the patriarchs of the clan, but the clan members are generally called "grandmother"-in the forest elf language, this is a proper noun, usually only used to refer to women who have rich reproductive experience.

It took nearly half a day for everyone to ride from the forest city to the settlement, and the sun was just above their heads at this time.Although it was still early, Eve and Erinde already felt drowsy. It was no wonder that in a place like Forest City where day and night were not distinguished, their routines could be easily changed in just a few days.

"Grandmother" distributes food to the people sitting on the ground.They huddled together in a wooden house—perhaps because the climate here is mild and pleasant all year round. This wooden house lacked a wall, and only a row of fences stood there, separating the room from the road.The elves living in the settlement are not true fundamental believers. Here, the advanced waterproof materials, utensils and tools native to the forest city, mixed with those primitive tools or mud bricks, can be seen almost everywhere.

The elf grandmother in front of her is relatively plump, except for pointed ears and white skin, she seems to be not much different from ordinary humans. Based on what Pani said to Eve - compared to the "exquisite dolls" in Forest City, perhaps this is the natural appearance of elves.

Eve got a round cake, which was about the size of a palm, fluffy and soft in the hand.Because the round cake was too thick, she couldn't even eat it, so she had to break it open and eat it.The round cake is not sweet and greasy, but has a faint lemongrass fragrance and a cool feeling like mint. I don’t know what kind of flour this round cake is made of.

In Parnas, this kind of round cake is called tree round cake, and its unique flavor comes from the sap of a kind of tree, and the flour used is taken from a kind of tuber plant, because it is rich in starch, so It tastes a bit like a cake, but the fluffy texture does not come from bacterial fermentation or whipped egg whites, but from a special cooking vessel—a vessel that is closed inside to allow the dough to expand in a low-pressure environment open.Tree round cakes have a special meaning in the settlement. They are only allowed to be eaten during festivals, and they can only be made by the elf grandmother and distributed to each tribe.

At this time, it is during the alternation of the two months, which is the Ascension Festival of the Yudi people and the New Year of the Parnas people.This round cake is probably the best thing Eve has eaten since coming to the elf land, but unfortunately there is only one.

After eating the tree pancakes, Eve found that the grandmother in front of her was staring at her—the elderly elf with a kind face approached her and sat in front of her.Grandma cupped her face with both hands, and then pinched her ears. At this time, Eve just had time to swallow the last bite of food.

Eve put her hand on the book cover and touched the preacher's copper coin, thinking that the other party would say something to her, but the elf grandmother remained silent. She took out a few grain-sized gemstones from the box beside her, painted liquid on the smooth side, and stuck them on the girl's forehead, making them arranged in a light green pattern similar to lotus flowers.

"Thank you." Although she didn't know what her grandmother had done, she still said so.

"You are our guest," said the grandmother with a smile—and there seemed to be more to her words.

Soon, they were taken to the temporarily vacated place by a clansman.The previous nap didn't make Eve feel better. Now that she was sleepy, she couldn't care about other things. She almost fell asleep after entering the room, and when she woke up, it was already evening.

The tree of deep space is still deeper in the forest, which is an inconvenient place to disturb. According to her grandmother, Eve must go alone.

Fortunately, the journey was not long. An elf riding an unknown beast opened the way for her, and soon sent her near her destination.

It was just nightfall, and the goblins were also returning home. They were shuttling through the forest, and the sound of their thin wings vibrating intertwined, making amazing sounds.

Eve traveled on foot on the way to the tree of deep space.The clearing in the forest was covered by piles of fallen leaves. She picked up a branch as a walking stick to explore the way, so as not to accidentally fall into the hidden pothole.

There were more and more goblins, and some of them would fly past her ears, which gave her goosebumps.The flying goblins are like an advancing army, their bodies illuminate the entire woodland, and their momentum is even a bit terrifying.

At this time, she was wearing the white dress she wore when she came here, and went to the place where the goblins gathered. The terrain here is relatively high, and the air is humid and warm. The water mass hangs high in the sky, refracting the light of the double moon.

Bean-sized drops of water sometimes fell from the air, even hitting a flying goblin just in time—the goblin sank in the air, swayed crookedly for a while, and then regained its balance.

Maybe it's because the land here is too wet, the woodland further ahead has become thin and sparse, and some fallen trees are lying across the road that Eve is going to pass, blocking mirror-like puddles.After crossing these rotten trees, there is a smooth road ahead - there are no more trees, only a large area of ​​clear shallow water, and... the tree that Eve dreamed of not long ago.

Countless goblins are gathering at the crown of the giant tree, the sky, the trees and the water surface, the shimmering lights like stars flow here, they are full of rhythm, and they are everywhere.

Eve took off her boots and stockings and threw them on the bank.She stepped into the clear water, like those mysterious little creatures, attracted by this tree... slowly approaching.The water just covered her ankles, the golden fine sand was very soft, and the fine water waves swayed to the open distance as she moved forward, until the bottom of the spiral, and under the tree, a white shadow caught her attention again.

When night fell, the goblins hid in the spoon leaves, and there was no sound or light anymore.

The two looked at each other across the shallow water, and this scene was so familiar.

Fear and confusion made the girl stop, and it was at this moment that the white-haired woman turned around.

"Here you are," said the woman.The sound echoed on the water, becoming long and ethereal, as if they were in a huge circular auditorium at this time.

"Have we... met before?" Eve couldn't help asking her while holding the copper coin.The two were still standing far away.

"Of course, just last night, around this time."

The white-haired woman's answer reassured Eve a lot, but at the same time it made her more confused.

"Last night I had a dream..." Eve said.

"Not quite a dream, young nymph," she said.

"Ningfu? I'm not Ningfu... I'm here to look for Ningfu." Hearing the woman's address to herself, Eve didn't think much about it at this time, and she asked again: "Are you here to look for them too?" ?”

"Yes, I was invited."

Eve walked towards the woman and the tree trunk. Looking at the man's face, she was sure that she was indeed the person she had seen in the dream yesterday.

"What's your name?" the woman asked her.

"Eve."

"Eftrona?" The woman raised her eyebrows with a smile.

"No, it's 'Eve'," she corrected.

"Oh, how time flies." The woman sighed.

"Excuse me?"

"I'm from the White Fox Society." She replied, "You can call me 'Zhi Xin'."

"I've heard of the White Fox Society, so you are the guardian?"

"No, there are no guardians anymore... We only call ourselves Fox Clan now," she said.

"Sorry, I actually don't know much about these."

"It's okay." Zhixin lowered her head slightly, her gaze fell on the girl's feet.Before coming, the elf grandmother told Eve not to enter the waters with shoes on, and this fox clan obviously knew this too. Both of them were barefoot at this time, but——Eve also painted nail.

"How long have you been here?" the woman asked her.

"Parnas? About three or four days."

"No, I mean, how long have you been in this world?"

Zhixin's question made her silent for a moment, but she finally answered truthfully.

"Almost seven years."

A lot must have happened in those seven years.From this, the fox thought-a man who is used to the female body, who has the power of comprehension but is unable to cast magic, who is a nymph but wanders in the world... Weird guy, almost full of contradictions.Iftrona is suffering from the same illness as Ortigia. She wants to create a result that cannot be defined and predicted, but why bother?

Eve was very sad, a feeling of shame and sadness spread from her feet, grabbing that little heart.When talking with Aixin, she vaguely sensed that the other party might also know about this matter—knowing the inconvenient details about herself—but at this moment, this fox clan spoke out about it, and she felt ashamed, powerless, and slaughtered as if she had been stripped naked by someone.

"Did I say something just now?" Seeing her pale face, Zhixin came back to her senses, "I'm sorry, when people get older, they always have various problems."

But in fact, this is not a disease of years, but a disease of loneliness.

"You know my background?" Eve asked her.

"Maybe," she replied.

"What...what are your intentions?" She asked with questioning in her words.

"You mean Evetrona? I don't know." Zhixin said, "But you can think about it for yourself, how many benefits she promised you... Maybe, in the future, she just wants you to help me so much."

Zhixin's answer seems to be quite different from Aixin's rhetoric.

What does it mean if everyone in the know is vague about something about the person involved?Eve was worried about this.

This may indicate that the situation is not optimistic.

But before Eve had time to think about it, Nymph appeared.

Under the deep-space tree with peculiar branches, a cloud of white mist condensed above the shallow water, turning into the appearance of a graceful woman.The woman stood there, her outline was false and solid, obviously it was just a projection from a spell.She was wearing a long shawl made of water, and she was standing under the tree—with such a silhouette as a comparison, Eve realized that the trunk of this giant tree might be much wider than the "big bank" of the Comino family.

The shadow beckoned to them, she was welcoming their visit.And behind her, the rising water mist circled the door of space—a portal, connected to nowhere.

"You appeared in front of me like this last time." Before entering the portal, Zhixin said to Eve.

"Last time? Yesterday?"

Looking at the phantom not far away, Eve thought deeply.

She followed behind the fox clan and passed through the foggy gate. On the other side of the gate, the sun was shining like a waterfall, flooding the earth.The tree of deep space still stands in the distance, but the world has changed in another way - the sky is blue, white clouds are everywhere, the shallow water has become green grass and flowers, and the wide plain extends to an unknown distance.

Eve narrowed her eyes and blocked the sunlight above her head with her hands.

Under the shade of the tree, the six nymphs noticed the visiting guests. They were either sitting or lying down, and each had their own charm and charm.

At first, Eve thought they were naked, but after walking in, she realized that they were actually "hanging a thread"—golden silk thread was wrapped around their plump and graceful limbs, covering the most delicate parts just right. It is an attractive part, and such a "dress" is obviously more imaginative.

Eve followed Zhixin to the Nymphs, and before they spoke, she actually had some premonitions.

"Nymphs were born from the reality of the soul of the Deep Space Tree—welcome to visit, my sister." A nymph walked up to her.

"I'm really a Nymph?" Eve was a little confused, "What the hell is a Nymph?"

"What is it? Maybe it's the boarder. We live in the body, under the tree... in the sky and the earth. They are the dead souls who are unwilling to disperse, and they are also unwashed newborns."

The girl thought about her words.

So, I did experience death.Eve's eyes were dimmed—if that's the case... In another world, would someone find a man's body somewhere?

"Don't worry too much." Beside her, Zhi Xin said, "Everyone is thinking about questions like 'who are you'-but as long as people are still alive, this question will not be answered. One day, just rest assured."

Eve looked at her, but her eyes widened at the same time, because at some point, all the clothes on Zhixin's body disappeared.

This fox clan seemed to have just realized this, she sighed, and said to herself: "Now is not the time to chat, everyone in Parnas."

"Although it is true that it is a critical moment, we are not in a hurry. Let's just sit here and chat until we have nothing to talk about." Ning Fu waved her finger at Eve after finishing speaking.

Eve only felt her body lighten—at this moment, all her clothes disappeared, her hair fell loose, and not only that, even the spell-casting book and all the treasures disappeared.

[230] Rebirth under Withering: The Ice Language of Summer Insects Part [-]

The body seems to have been cleansed like never before.

In the sunlight, a group of goblins flew towards them.These cute transparent goblins are much smaller than those outside, and their height is almost as long as an adult's finger.These goblins hugged spiders that were almost as big as their bodies, and slowly flew close to Eve.

Those spiders seemed to be anesthetized—they had curled up black thin legs and huge abdomens with dark red dangerous patterns, which were really scary.Eve wanted to flee immediately, but the goblins were everywhere, and they surrounded her from all directions.

"I didn't expect you to be afraid of this. If you think you can't accept it, then just close your eyes." Zhi Xin looked indifferent, and she was also surrounded by such a group of goblins.

Eve calmed down after hearing what she said.

"Relax." A nymph walked in front of her, and the goblins consciously made way for her. The nymph picked up her wrist and asked her to raise her arm flat.The goblins came up and put the silk thread on her fingers—they rotated around each other in groups of two, twisted the silver and yellow silk threads into one strand, and wrapped them around Eve's fingers and arms. The thin threads that are almost indistinguishable, under the weaving of these dozen fairies, formed a resilient golden silk net on her knuckles and skin.

They flew up and down, shuttling between the silk threads and their companions, doing the weaving work quickly and orderly. Soon, the goblin cut off the last silk thread, and Eve's right hand was also wrapped in golden fabric, like wearing a long translucent glove.The fabric has a clear and even grain, slightly clingy, tight yet light, and glistens in the sun.

On the other side, most of the fabric on Zhixin's body has been completed. Seeing her current appearance, Eve finally understands what the "attire" on Nymphs is.

In the end, she still couldn't escape the disaster—she thought of the stockings that Panny brought, and in terms of nature, there didn't seem to be much difference between the two.
