Chapter 118: Don’t you care too much about girls’ preferences?
After entering the forest, Ringer discovered that the tree described by Ieta was the aquatic green fig. This kind of tree also has a nice name called the elder of the forest, because it has all the characteristics of the general banyan tree species.
They have taken them to the extreme. As long as there is moisture from water - whether it is a clear lake or an underground river invisible to the naked eye - the aerial roots hanging from the branches of an aquatic green fig can grow in just ten years.
It grows into a forest within a short period of time. Sometimes adventurers think that they have mistakenly entered a dense forest. In fact, there is only one aquatic banyan tree, and the others are just its descendants. The generous elders shade the proud offspring, and the branches are luxuriant.
Prosperity and prosperity.
The young man knows this kind of tree because when he was in college, there was a park near the school. The lake, which had not yet been polluted by steam and haze, was occupied by this giant tree with dense branches and leaves. Everyone rowing a boat on the lake
Once a leisurely traveler enters the shadow of the banyan forest, he will feel that he has stepped onto a mysterious island. He did not expect that there are such trees in other worlds, let alone that he can see them in the sanctuary of the goddess.
Seeing it, the young man originally thought that there should be more exotic plants growing in the goddess's sanctuary, at least rare species that are unique in other worlds or mirror stars.
Now it seems that he is completely using the shallow mentality of a mortal to speculate on the great mind of the goddess. She indeed treats all creations in the world equally and hopes to create a beautiful home for them. Unfortunately, in the end,
This kind of ambition has not achieved a good result. To this day, mortals are still killing each other, plundering and destroying.
Starlight sprinkled sparse raindrops from the gaps between the branches and leaves, and the light spots on the ground swayed with the movement of the figures. When the young man stepped through the dark green leaf piles, what he felt was not soft humus that was almost swampy, but hard.
The ground. The growth status of plants here is very interesting, because there were originally streets made of concrete under the feet. After the streets were damaged, seeds sprouted and grew from the soil. However, only the most tenacious seeds can open up the strong barrier, so in this area
You can't see too many bushes and grasses in the forest, but you can still see a wisp of rough gray-white in places with sparse fallen leaves.
Based on this environment, Ringer was a little curious about how the lake was formed, but he understood as soon as he saw the oval-shaped sapphire-like lake embedded in the forest. It must have been a square with a bell tower.
, later in that terrible disaster, fractures and subsidence occurred, accompanied by raging fires. Afterwards, a heavy rain that lasted for three months, or maybe three years, extinguished the flames, and at the same time, it quickly
A huge amount of rainwater accumulated in the sunken pits, and the lake was formed. As for why the young man insisted on emphasizing the feature of the bell tower, it was naturally because the bell tower was not completely submerged by the lake, and there was still a section of the top floor that resembled a spire.
Exposed above the lake, slightly tilted in the starlight, the big iron bell still hangs securely, occasionally emitting one or two clear chimes when the wind blows.
Based on the size of the bell and the proportion of the bell tower, the young man estimated that the lake was about fifty feet deep. Strangely, the lush aquatic banyan trees did not encroach on the territory of the lake. The most unruly of them was also
He just hung his roots to the lakeside, like a deer lowering his head to sip the lake water. When he found Gloria, the girl was sitting on a tree root, holding her knees with her hands, staring blankly at the clear lake.
.
"Good evening," he walked over and said hello: "Miss Gloria."
“Not very good.”
The other party didn't look back and replied coldly: "If you are disturbed by a hopeless idiot when you want peace the most, I don't think you will be in a good mood."
Such a sharp retort surprised the young man, and he suddenly realized: "You are not Gloria?"
But the white night.
"If you are looking for that idiot captain, she has already retreated and cried because she couldn't accept the reality." The girl finally turned around and gave her a contemptuous look: "Besides, your intuition is very keen, isn't it? Why are you today?"
But you confused me with that guy? Or is it that the so-called intuition also has bad moments, just like your head? "
The young man heard that the girl was expressing her anger, but he didn't have the qualifications to refute. After all, he had admitted the wrong person, so he could only apologize dryly, and the girl gave him a snort that was unclear whether it was understanding or neglect.
Sound. In fact, under normal circumstances, Ringer can indeed tell the difference between Gloria and Bai Ye. However, the problem is that the basis for his distinction is actually observation, not the intuition that Bai Ye thinks - the two personalities in this body.
Although they are indistinguishable from each other, they are sometimes distinct, and everything is reflected in their temperament and behavior.
The white night is a cold night, always wandering alone outside the crowd. The silence is more terrifying than steel, ice, and cooled blood vessels, but she actually also has a desire to listen, always
Paying attention to the subtle movements around her, but not responding much; and Gloria is an uncertain fog, she is everything that can be seen but cannot be touched, as far away as clouds, as silent as moonlight, as silent as moonlight.
The boundary between the sky and the sea is so elusive but out of reach. People often play a game called role-playing with her, thinking that they can always leave some traces in her memory, but the next time she opens her eyes
, she has completely forgotten.
As long as you master the difference, add a little patience and careful observation, it is not difficult to distinguish the two personalities. The only reason that caused the young man to admit his mistake was that the girl he saw just now was sitting in a tree with her knees in her arms.
Basically, this kind of curled-up posture actually indirectly shows the owner's weakness and confusion. In Ringer's opinion, the possibility of Gloria using this posture is far greater than that of her twin personality.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, what happened just now proves that maybe he still did not observe these two personalities carefully enough.
"If I were you," Bai Ye suddenly spoke in a cold tone, "I wouldn't just stand here stupidly. I should at least take the initiative to tell you my purpose, so as to give me a reason to reject you."
Lin Ge was surprised again: "So, you already knew my intention?"
"certainly."
Bai Ye unconsciously curled up the corner of his mouth in a sarcastic arc: "You are a good person who claims to be a protector, a fool who thinks you can get something from this journey, or you are self-righteous and thinks that as long as you have the power with the girl,
A careerist who can influence the world by building a good relationship? I don't care about these, but I am not like other sisters who will be easily coaxed by your one or two words. So whether you want to say some comfort or something else
If you have any intention, just put them away first. Although that little idiot Gloria is sometimes too stupid, at least in this matter, you can't make the decision for her."
I see.
Did she think she wanted to interfere with Gloria's decision?
That's right. After all, if the King of Order is unwilling to step forward and confront the Witch Association, the future of this world will be in jeopardy. As a human being with conscience, everyone will want to do their part at this time.
Well. What's more, Ringer has accompanied them on this journey and has a special status in the hearts of the young girls. If it were him, maybe he could really make these girls change their minds?
However, Ringer had never thought of it this way.
This may be because his adoptive father's teachings have always influenced this young man, "Do what you want to do, but don't hurt others, and don't hurt yourself." This sentence has a profound impact on Ringer, even
It may have laid the foundation for all aspects of his personality, thoughts and life. It sounds very simple, but it is very difficult to do. At least it took young people a long time to understand what is the way to neither hurt others nor hurt themselves.
What kind of thing, so the way he finally learned was to stay out of it and treat everything prudently, including career, future, future, and feelings.
He wasn't sure if doing so would hurt himself, but he was at least sure that it would never hurt others.
Maybe not.
"You are thinking too much." He said bluntly: "I didn't come to you for that reason."
"Then you rushed here impatiently, is it because you wanted to capture a girl when her defenses were empty, passionate Mr. Ringer?"
"When did I get a nickname like that?"
The young man felt quite helpless. It seemed that before he knew it, his supposedly innocent reputation had been unpredictably damaged. However, it was not a reasonable choice to explore the source at this time, and Bai Ye might not be willing to tell the whole story, so he
He could only shake his head, put the matter behind him for the time being, and choose to return to the topic: "I'm here to call you back for dinner."
"Eat?" The gray-haired girl's eyes suddenly became surprised and strange. She looked at the young man, more like looking at an incredible creature.
Ringer probably knew what she wanted to express, such as "You can still eat at this time", but it couldn't be "What's on the table today". He was also helpless. After all, this task was not for young people.
People accept it voluntarily, but if they don't accept it... there will be no consequences. This is the biggest reason why young people are willing to accept it.
"Anyway," Ringer tried to explain the necessity of this matter, and by the way, he hinted that he came here completely by accident, such as the boss lady's volunteering and the bartender's verbal confrontation: "At least you should consider it.
Think of the mood of someone who has worked so hard to prepare dinner. When time comes, you have to eat. In addition to three meals a day, there is also afternoon tea and late night snacks. This is the nature of the traveler fairy. Since you live in this hotel, you have to learn to adapt to it——
Besides, she might have prepared your favorite pea soup and sweet sauce pie..."
"No." Bai Ye couldn't help but interrupt him: "That's not my favorite food. Only little idiot Gloria likes that sticky, sweet and soft peas and sweet sauce."
At this time, Ringer stopped talking and just stared at the gray-haired girl quietly. Her pupils narrowed slightly, and the colors in them were as dim as if the sky had just passed through a night. It was no longer pure gray, but
A lead gray mixed with monotonous cobalt blue and pale skeletal blue. She looked at the young man fearlessly, unwilling to expose her weakness, but after a moment of silence, the young man suddenly said: "You don't
You should lie, Miss Bai Ye."
"Although I sometimes confuse you with Miss Gloria, at least on this matter, I am sure that I am not mistaken." He thoughtfully gave an example: "Every time there are these two dishes on the table,
Do you and Gloria always switch personalities and take turns using your body? Although Gloria's preferences are changeable. When she was an athlete, she liked red bean pie and meat burrito, and when she was a pirate, she liked eating red bean pie and meat burrito.
Cheese and slightly lighter wine-soaked hazelnuts are served, but only your preferences have not changed. You seem to really like those sticky, sweet and soft peas and sweet sauce..."
"That's enough."
Bai Ye forcibly interrupted the young man's words, then stood up and dusted off his clothes and pants, and said expressionlessly: "I'm going back to have dinner, goodbye."
Huh.
Is this considered a success in persuasion?
Lin Ge thought that he would have to go through a lot of twists and turns, but Bai Ye suddenly changed his mind. He didn't know the reason for this, but since it was a good thing, there was no need to correct it, right?
As for the fact that Bai Ye's attitude towards him may become even worse in the future, it doesn't matter. Her attitude towards him has never been good anyway. So the young man just passed by the gray-haired girl without even a cold word.
He stopped her with a stingy look and asked her a question: "Before you go back, can you tell me where the others are? I think you should know the location of at least one of them, right?"
"Oh? Why do you think so?"
"..." Ringer didn't answer. He couldn't say that according to Alice's game theory, the errand mission would not be interrupted at this stage, right?
But Bai Ye was not interested in that reason either. The girl curled her lips in a subtle way, thinking that this guy was not as honest as he seemed. Then she lazily stretched out a finger and pointed at her ear casually, asking the young man to
Listen carefully - by the way, her fingers are white and slender, and her knuckles are also very delicate. She is a pair of beautiful hands.
The young man listened carefully, and then he heard a strange sound, da da da da. Even though it was diluted by the branches and leaves, it still sounded so clear and powerful, like a series of rapid drum beats hitting the ground. It came from the due north.
, the area after passing through the forest.
The corners of her mouth slowly raised up, outlining a somewhat sarcastic smile, or to describe it more euphemistically, like a fox that succeeded in playing a prank: "She seems to be running farther and farther away. Although this city has become
Ruins, but at least there are streets long enough for her and her horse to drive around - so I sincerely hope you can make it to dinner today, Mr. Ringer."
"Ah, there's one more thing."
She had already retracted her gaze and was about to leave, but she remembered something and stopped again, but this time she did not look back. Instead, she just turned her back to the young man and said in a calm tone: "Next time, don't care so much about a girl.
Your preferences and habits may lead to misunderstanding, Mr. Ringer.”
She didn't say specifically what the misunderstanding was, and just left without looking back.
