On January 15, 1856, Ringe and his party returned to the city of Rosting, which had been away for more than half a month. After hovering over the Saussen Mountains for a while, the Cloud Whale Floating Island finally locked onto a familiar high cliff and slowly moved towards it.
Landing slowly in the courtyard of Beman Castle.
The spacious open space is enough to accommodate a floating island to dock safely. The gentle wind under the wings acts as an invisible buffer zone between the bottom of the island and the ground, preventing it from oppressing the fragile stone bricks inside the castle. Smoke and dust are raised one by one.
Tiny vortices and dust outline the trajectory of the wind.
In order to cover up the movement of the whale when it landed, Ieta also deliberately used the wind to blow a large cloud and surrounded the entire island. In this way, looking from a distant place, you can only see a single flower on the blue sky.
The huge, strangely shaped cloud is slowly falling towards the mountains. I can't help but think it is some kind of rare natural celestial phenomenon, but I don't doubt that there is actually a huge rocky whale hidden in the cloud, with a forest on the whale's back.
Flower fields, white windmills and travelers from afar.
After the darkness dissipated, the former prison ushered in the long-lost light. The brilliant skylight shone like free money, and was laid out in large pieces on the mottled outer walls of the castle, the collapsed towers and the spacious courtyard.
It is coated with a golden shell.
Just hope will give birth to a new life. Although it is winter at this time, as the most famous tourist city in the Kingdom of Great Brita, the city of Rosting is as warm as spring all year round. Therefore, where the light shines
, plants can still grow happily and prosper toward the sun.
In the corner of the wall where only the miserable moss and gloomy fungi used to live, a bit of green is stubbornly peeking out. The ferns with pale golden spots on the leaves are swaying in the wind, as if they are fighting with the guests who have intruded here.
Say hello. They should be golden fern, the oldest fern in the Saussen Mountains. It is said that its history can be traced back to 120 million years before human civilization was born. In addition, there are
The long-tailed fern that looks like a monkey's tail, the muscaria that looks like a gray mushroom, etc.
Standing in the familiar courtyard, Olvera even saw a wall that had been eroded by wind and rain, covered with ivy-like vines. Their short tentacles clung to the gaps in the stone bricks, and their half-hand-thick leaves were tightly
Next to each other, the wind blows and sets off green waves, which is spectacular.
The coldness and sadness of the past have been dispelled, replaced by a scene of prosperity and vitality, and less than a month has passed since the princess of Bemang left this place.
"Beimang used to be like this." She murmured, as if talking to herself or talking to the young man next to her.
Lin Ge knew that the same thing she said was not referring to the scenery, because the ancient light elf country Beimang seven hundred years ago should be more lush and green than the current castle courtyard. The endless forest sea and the blooming flowers in the garden
Violet is not comparable to the vines on this wall; in fact, what the girl wants to say is an atmosphere, the kind of peaceful, comfortable and warm atmosphere that makes people feel like they are bathed in sunlight.
He said: "Maybe it's because of the rain."
On the day when the princess of Bayman left the castle, the Saussen Mountains were shrouded in a melancholy wind and rain. That rain was also the first rain since the beginning of winter in Rosting City. It washed away the filth of the past and brought about
Brand-new vitality. After the rain, the air is fresh and the water vapor is abundant. In the world after everything is renewed, all the vegetation sprouts again and becomes green. Therefore, Ringer discovered it as early as when he looked down from the sky on the ground.
When the vast forest sea of Mori Gunsan is blown by the wind, there will be more spectacular green waves than in the past month. This is not only a special case in the courtyard in front of you.
"What a miracle."
Oveira unknowingly hugged the book in her arms tightly. The mist-like star vortex in her eyes quietly dispersed, making her look hazy and empty. She didn't know whether it was because she was thinking about the problem or because she stayed up late for a long time. She was confused.
They all said: "Just like the preface written by Mr. William Connor for his botanical book "A General History of Life", "All the incredible things that mankind has explored may be considered to be in vain...because
The great natural world has shown us its appearance as early as 4.6 billion years ago, starting from the time when the oldest algae plants began to release oxygen.""
Miracles are very harsh things for humans, but for other life forms, sometimes they are just rain.
Ringer glanced at her: "When did you finish reading this book again?"
The princess raised her hand and yawned: "A long time ago."
Only then did I realize that this conversation seemed familiar. Especially when it happened here, it had a profound meaning, which seemed to confirm that time has never actually moved forward, but only kept repeating existing things.
Lin Ge didn't notice her reaction and asked again: "I heard that you haven't been reading much these days and have been hanging around the windmill in Iyetta?"
"Uh." Olvera's eyes dodge and hesitantly said: "Yes, is there such a thing? I think, I think, I'm not just hanging out, I'm just, um, taking a walk?"
"Do you need to pass by her window thirteen times a day for a walk?" Ringer was not that easy to fool. He exposed her sophistry directly, causing the princess to shrink her head subconsciously, and she did not dare to refute.
Seeing this, the young man softened his tone slightly: "Both Yieta and Saint Xalia told me about this matter. If you really have something, it's best to tell her directly. You know Yiye
Is Ta actually worried these past two days? I'm worried about your attitude, and worried about what I've done wrong... Think more about others, Olvera, you've concealed one thing before, so you have your own ideas.
I won’t interfere. But now that what you concealed has involved other people, shouldn’t you seriously reflect on what is right and wrong?”
Olvera lowered her head and hummed twice in frustration.
What she had concealed before was that she actually couldn't fall asleep at all. She had long been accustomed to the feeling of being sleepy and tired but unable to close her eyes, but she was afraid that her friends would worry about her, so she deliberately didn't tell her.
Only Ringer knows this.
But this time, Iyetta is involved, so it's not just her matter.
"I'm sorry." Olivia said dullly: "I won't do this again."
"It's useless for you to apologize to me. You should go to Iyeta to apologize and explain the reason."
"I will."
"Yeah."
After getting her promise, Ringer stopped interfering, as if this was a satisfactory result.
On the other hand, Olivia raised her head tentatively and glanced at him: "Aren't you curious, Ringer?"
"What are you curious about?"
"What should I do to find Iyeta?"
"Not curious."
"Why?"
"Because there is nothing that needs to be investigated, unless it is closely related to yourself."
"You mean, this matter has nothing to do with you?"
Ringer didn't answer, but looked at Olvera with strange eyes, as if to say: Isn't it like this?
This was originally a matter between you and Iyetta, what does it have to do with me?
This look instantly aroused Oveira's dissatisfaction. Although she didn't know why she was dissatisfied, she still puffed up her cheeks, like a little squirrel stuffed with pine cones, turned away coldly, and said
It seemed that the volume was deliberately lowered, but the young man could still clearly hear the voice chanting: "The annoying Ringer, the selfish Ringer, the stingy Ringer! It's just like, it's just like--"
She spent "literally" for a long time, and finally found a suitable image from the book she had read: "It's just like the man who walked out of the mirror in "The Man in the Mirror" written by Bacchus Claywell.
As ruthless as the Faceless Man!"
"Really?" Ringer said noncommittally: "I haven't read that book."
Olivia was speechless for a moment.
At this time, Xie Mi flew down from the Cloud Whale Floating Island that occupied most of the courtyard area, waving to this side as she flew back. From a distance, she could be heard shouting: "Hey, Ringer, I'm ready! It's time.
Let’s go!
”
Behind the little fairy is Saint Xalia. She is not holding the lamb, but is alone, slowly walking along the gradually gentle terrain on the edge of the island, the shrubs and ferns that have been carried up to an altitude of 10,000 meters.
The plants are still growing vigorously, with fresh and tender leaves swaying in the wind, and silky roots shining in the gaps between the earth, rocks and rock walls, as if walking down an ancient and lush hillside.
For safety reasons, Linge did not plan to take too many people with him on this short journey back to Rosting City. Only Saint Xalia and Xie Mi went with him.
"It's time for you to go." Olvera said. Although the previous conversation made her a little angry, at this time, she still hesitantly warned: "Pay attention to safety."
"Yes." Lin Ge nodded lightly as a response, then turned to leave. Then he suddenly remembered something and paused: "Before leaving, I have a question to ask you, Oveira." p>
"Oh? What's the problem?"
It was Lin Ge who took the initiative to ask me, which was really rare. Olweila cheered up and made a gesture of listening carefully.
Ringer asked her: "I have been thinking about it since a long time ago. You are always reading, you have read many books, and you often quote the words in the books, but do you really understand their meaning?
?Do you want to use them to express some of your own opinions? Or do you mean that you don’t understand them at all and are just far-fetched quotes?”
"Eh?"
Olivia blinked blankly and heard Ringer's voice continue: "If you just read it purely and don't pursue the deep meaning behind it, you will never understand the background of the times, the social atmosphere, and the characters when the work was born.
and the thoughts the author wants to express. This is undoubtedly a very sad thing."
"Huh?"
"I heard that people who really love reading, once they read too many books, will be stimulated to create their own desire and eager to express something. So, have you ever had the desire to write a book at a certain time?
What about your thoughts? If you have never been affected by this desire to create, I think there may be something wrong with your reading method? I think you should improve this situation."
"..."
The young man looked at the princess seriously and gave her a suggestion that he had thought about for a long time. There was a silent silence for a long time, and Oveira suddenly turned away and said angrily: "Who knows!"
