Two days later, Lily and her "old friends" returned to their familiar hometown with more than 400 people from the White Ape tribe.
Luglan Forest is still as peaceful and pleasant as in memory. The "living gods" have transformed the environment here so that it has the most livable climate at any time of the year. Of course, their preferences are not the same
, the forest is therefore divided into many areas. Walking in the forest, you may be in a world of ice and snow one moment, and you may be on a sunny beach the next moment - just as Lily has seen, between the mountains of the Despair Mountains, that
It's like an independent residence.
The 'old friends' dispersed one after another, and she led the people of the White Ape Tribe, which no longer existed, to a village that had just been 'created' and suitable for human habitation.
Ingrid, who is good at manipulating plants, makes trees and vines tangle into living houses, including beds and seats. The soft and dense leaves act as comfortable cushions. They are almost undamaged and can keep mosquitoes away.
Dozens of different kinds of fruit trees and crops growing all over the continent surround the village. Under the catalysis of the power of the "Lord of Heaven", they have already matured and become fruitful, just waiting to be picked.
This is the power of the "lived gods". As long as they are willing, this forest can easily support hundreds of thousands of people. Whether it is destruction or creation, her "old friends" have the power to change the world.
The Sachi people who had lost their tribe looked at everything in front of them with fear. After getting Lily's permission, they cautiously walked into the village. She stopped and watched for a while, turned around, and felt a little uninterested.
Bringing them here was a task entrusted to her by Fimir. As for the fate of these people and how the black-robed wizard planned to use them, she was not concerned about it. Lily flicked her tail and transformed back into the form of a giant wolf.
, heading towards the Lake of Return in the south - that is her real home.
Xisa was lying on the north side of the lake bank as always, letting the soft sunshine caress her back. Lily trotted over and lay down next to her 'mother', without turning her head to look at her face.
"You're back." Xisa's voice was still gentle, and there was no joy or blame. "Did it go well this time?"
"Of course. It's impossible for those Sachi people to defeat us?" She replied confidently, but also had a vague feeling that this was not the answer the other party wanted. "Mother... you don't think we should
Do you do this?"
"Of course not. No matter what choice you make, you will always be my favorite child." Xisa's eyes softened, "What's more, I believe that this is also part of fate."
Destiny... Lily thought. In fact, the established 'destiny' seems to have been changed - this time, her hometown was not destroyed. In this case, the next 'history' will be different from what she remembers.
Same again, right?
"Anyway, mother... don't worry." She whispered, "No matter how different the past is from the present, we will continue to work hard... continue to use our strength to pursue what we want."
Xisa closed her eyes, as if preparing to take a nap, and nodded slightly.
So she stood up, shook off the snow flakes on her body, and said goodbye to her mother again. The next destination was a place she had never visited since her 'return' - the southeast corner of the forest where she had lived for hundreds of years.
A human village.
She had an unfulfilled promise, and now was the time.
Lily couldn't remember exactly when and why those people came to this forest. But she was certain that it was more than a hundred years earlier than the current era. Having lost her 'father', she was in a state of confusion in this world.
It was from those people that the "gods" learned many rumors and common sense on the continent; it was also those "old friends" who helped each other build their own home on the edge of the northern forest where they were not allowed to live.
The female mercenary recalled the past pure time, returned to the appearance of the wolf-eared girl, and walked into the village in her memory.
It had only been more than ten years since she 'last' left. The residents of the village rarely went to the outside world, and almost all the friends she had made were here. Time left obvious traces on them - some grew up, others grew old.
Go. However, the houses, squares, and even the towering giant sequoia in the village seemed not to be disturbed by time at all. No matter in the past, present, or that 'reunion' hundreds of years later, they all watched her quietly,
Witnessing her changes time and time again.
Lily walked quickly along the gravel path and greeted several villagers she knew. Then, under the giant sequoia tree, she found the person she wanted to see.
Compared to the energetic girl in her memory, Luvel's appearance is closer to what she saw in the 'Forest of Ghosts' after being frozen in time. But the obvious human aura on her body means that she is still truly alive.
She, Fimir, Ariel, and several other teenagers sat cross-legged under the tree, asking various questions to the black-robed wizard and the Celestial Tribe from time to time, and then exclaimed in surprise at their answers.
Luvel has always been interested in things outside the forest, so it was no surprise that she could chat with those two people. When she saw the female mercenary coming, she jumped up happily and gave Lily a simple hug. Fimmel
Moved to one side so that Lily could sit between the two of them.
"Your mission has been completed." This was the first thing the female mercenary said after sitting down, "What are you going to do next, continue to do this?"
The young black-robed wizard touched his right hand and nodded slowly.
"That's right, September. I will let them have a stable and prosperous life. Of course, in return, they need to contribute to the arrival of the new world." He closed his eyes and raised his head slightly, as if thinking about some distant vision.
, "I can see it in the not-too-distant future."
"It's up to you - you wizards always talk like this, you're talking nonsense." Lily replied nonchalantly. The future of the Sachi people has nothing to do with her. She can't remember everyone she meets, and she has no time.
To care about the fate of everyone - just like the swordsman she killed.
The things she cherishes are still there, and that's enough, Lily said to herself.
"Femir." She held the hand of the woman next to her and stood up, "We helped you convince those 'old friends'. It's enough to leave the rest of the matter to them. As for now..."
She turned her face sideways and glanced at her friend beside her, "Do you still remember what we promised you?"
Luvel thought for a moment and nodded slightly. But the female mercenary had already turned her head and looked towards the south, thinking about where to go next, "So, please...send her and us to the empire."
?”
"As you wish." The black-robed wizard said gently, "Have a good time, September."
The silver-white door opened in front of her. Lily led the woman towards it, then turned around and happened to meet the eyes of the Celestial Clan with rainbow-like long hair.
Ariel looked at her quietly, as if there was a trace of pity in her eyes. The female mercenary felt a slight displeasure, and she avoided looking directly at her.
"It's time for me to meet those people, September." The black-robed wizard stood up, his eyes full of tenderness, "Being able to get your help is one of my greatest blessings."
The Tian clan and Fimir left together. Lily felt a little more relaxed and a little lost. She took the woman's hand and stepped into the door. After a slight dizziness, she saw a vast plain in front of her. A spacious and flat avenue led from
It extended forward not far away and stopped in front of a city wall that was hundreds of meters wide. She searched her memory and quickly recognized where the continent was in front of her.
"This is the capital of the Oren Empire, one of the most prosperous cities on the continent." The female mercenary looked at her friends beside her and raised her lips with satisfaction, "Before the next stage of Femir begins, you and I...
There is enough time to explore this continent."
…
The next time seemed to be very short, or maybe very long. They visited the lively markets together, tasted the famous delicacies of various hotels, or watched the performances of outstanding theater groups. Not only that, the two of them also visited many sparsely visited but beautiful scenery.
Unique places, such as the ocean where the Fritz people live, the dense forest controlled by the Elna people, and the fortress built by the Belon people in the mountains.
Compared with more than ten years ago, the current continent is full of tense atmosphere and is actually less suitable for travel. But Lily doesn't care at all. Fimiel gave her enough money, and the power of being a demigod allowed her to escape from most places.
In danger, protect yourself and those around you.
As long as the sun rises every day, people's lives can continue, and so can their travels - or so she originally thought.
However, two weeks later, in the morning, after having a sumptuous meal at the Golden Age, one of the most famous hotels in Philland, Luvel grabbed her hand.
"Let's go back," she said.
Lily looked at her puzzled. "Don't you like it here?" The female mercenary frowned, "We can take you somewhere else -"
"It's not like that." The young woman looked into her eyes, "Why... did you bring me out suddenly?"
"Huh?" Lily didn't understand the question, "We happen to be free, and we promised you, so -"
"...Those were all wishes made more than ten years ago." The woman murmured, "Mr. September, you still remember your wish at that time. I am indeed very happy. But..." She turned around and looked around -
This place is close to the federal border. Apart from them, there are almost no people in the hotel. "This place now is different from what you told me. Maybe we can wait for a while until people return to their past..."
An inexplicable unhappiness surged into her heart, causing Lily to interrupt the woman's words.
"Don't worry about so much!" She said a little anxiously, "We are doing this for you - to fulfill our past agreement? There is no need to worry, no matter who wants to do you harm, we can kill him in one bite
neck!"
Luvel looked at her quietly. Lily suddenly felt that there seemed to be an invisible but real barrier gently separating the two.
"I miss home." She was silent for a while and then said, "Take me back."
