The ambiguous atmosphere made Elena find that the relationship between herself and Liszt had become very strange. Strictly speaking, the two were just companions in joint exploration and adventure, but they always had some contacts that exceeded the boundaries of companionship.
The suppressed lust has not been given a chance to relax, and the food is getting less and less. The intertwining of the desire to extend life and the desire to expand is enough to drive ordinary people crazy. Fortunately, Elena knows the importance of conserving physical strength and the pleasure of eating the marrow and knowing the taste. After all, it is not as good as the fear of being reduced to bones. What's more, the man traveling with her did not take the initiative to make any special requests. This makes Elena, who has always insisted on not causing trouble for men, find no reason to relieve her emptiness and let it go. The fire in his body is getting stronger and stronger, but he still has to keep a calm look on his face.
Seeing that the food is getting less and less, and the forest is still the same at the end of the darkness, Elena has made the decision that if she really can't get out, she must go crazy before she dies and use her last madness. To end this torturous journey - so she thought, until the man stopped and said the long-awaited words in a relaxed tone.
"Tighten my hand. The end of the spiritual maze may be ahead. We'd better not get separated."
Feeling refreshed, the woman nodded and once again suppressed the unspoken words.
The two took a few steps forward, just like divers who had been silent in the deep sea for a long time, taking off their wetsuits and returning to the surface. The scenery in front of them suddenly became clearer, and the environment also gave lively feedback.
Lester's first impression was that the garden in front of him was 'alive'. Not only were the plants alive, but the garden itself was a living creature with self-awareness. This was the first impression given to him by Rune Elena. feedback.
Looking up, the dark sky is not very clear. The light is shining from the sky. Unknowingly, it is snatched away by the huge and greedy plants on both sides of the path. Not even a trace is left. It is emitting blue fluorescence or Green fluorescent vines surround the ancient beard tree and hang down from the high branches. They are like green tentacles in the absence of wind. The longest one even wants to wrap around Lester's arm and penetrate into another person's chest. .
Because the movements of the vines were very gentle and not hostile at all, Lester just used his arms to block the vines that were reaching towards him and Elena, patted the tentacles of the vines, and watched as the vines retracted reluctantly. .
Looking around, under the ancient trees is a sea of enchanting flowers, which is even more shocking than the Magic Garden in Presidence.
Common flower species such as tulips, roses, hyacinths, chrysanthemums, orchids, rare ones such as crystal orchids, green jade vines, salas, or unknown white crystal-colored flowers similar to epiphyllums. The closed flower bones bloom quickly within a few seconds, blooming with their own color and brilliance.
In the sea of flowers swaying with his head, Lester couldn't tell who the various colors in the sea of flowers belonged to. All the flowers were clustered together, dotting every vacant space. This growth pattern seriously violated Knowing the survival laws of plants, Lester could not find a second reason except that the garden itself could provide magical energy for the flowers to survive. .
Various flower plants that are as high as calfs surround the ancient trees, forming a vast sea of flowers. The magical flowers that emit golden and silver light in the sea of flowers echo the shining vines on the ancient trees. The light is enough to illuminate every scene in the garden, as if Sensing the sight of humans, many flower bones that were closed just now slowly opened, facing the two of them, nodding innocently, lighting up the way forward.
Called a road, it is just a very special garden path. It is composed of small yellow and white flowers, pointing softly and winding forward. The deeper floral fragrance is also mixed with fruity fragrance, as if there is some delicious fruit waiting for it. Taste it to the guests.
Looking down at himself, who was only wrapped in a piece of cloth, Lester suddenly had the urge to tear off the last piece of cloth and return to nature. Fortunately, his reason stopped his inexplicable perverted impulse in time, so that he could not He did something rude in front of another somewhat cool lady. Before he could figure out how he was affected, the woman next to him knelt on the flowers and covered her mouth in disbelief with her hands.
"It turns out that there is a real magic garden inside the spiritual maze! Could it be that the magic garden in Presidence is also built according to this magic garden?"
After driving away the enthusiastic vine tentacles again, Lester helped the somewhat sluggish woman up. Where the woman could not see, a twisted shadow penetrated Elena's body from the ground.
Lester knew that Evelin was going to attack the little devil possessing Elena's body.
"It's not impossible, but what we should do now is to confirm whether the environment here is dangerous, and whether it's you or me, it's not easy to see people like this."
"Then what should we do next?"
"If there is no other way, we can only follow this path."
Not knowing how Evelin was doing, Lester decided to go ahead according to his own judgment.
Going deeper along the flower path, the plants become more and more weird and bizarre. There are many gorgeous parasitic plants wrapped around the ancient trees, entangled under the gold foil leaves and shining silver branches. As the two people approach, the gorgeous flowers and leaves slowly grow. It bloomed, revealing the fragrant stamens.
The instinct of the body prompted Elena to put her nose up to sniff, but the man directly grabbed her and blocked her in front of her.
"Be careful, the more beautiful something is, the more deadly it is."
Her heart skipped a beat, and the dazed woman finally realized that she had almost been hit.
Although holding the moon rose in a gesture of drawing a sword, Lester did not launch an attack. It was not a wise choice to show hostility in a strange place. If something inexplicable was angered, he would be very passive, and he did not remember If I'm wrong, there should be a powerful 'Grandma Gardener' in this garden.
Sure enough, after being actively avoided by humans, the gorgeous flowers had no intention of continuing to entangle. After slowly closing, they quickly retracted under the tree. The flowers and leaves folded again, 'disguised' as part of the silver tree and golden flower.
After walking for about ten minutes, the plants on the road had more aggressive features than before, including spikes like rose vines, cold barbs like cockleburs, silvery white vines and snow lilies growing on the vines. Flowers, with just one glance, Lester understood that the plant in front of him was longing for his body and soul - literally, it wanted to be completely integrated with himself.
"I have never seen such a magical plant. It can only be seen in such a mysterious place."
"Do you want to touch it? You can give it a try."
"I don't want to. I've known for a long time that this garden is dangerous - unless I'm around you."
Lester calmly made witty remarks about the woman's cryptic expressions.
"Honesty is the most beautiful and easily perishable quality. I hope you can keep it forever, just like I can still stand in front of you, because I don't want to be a wonderful dinner for plants."
Although the woman was a little disappointed that she didn't get a response, she quickly regrouped and looked for the next opportunity.
The two continued to move forward. Different from the tall ancient trees with golden leaves and silver branches, not far away was a strange fruit tree with knob-like features at the root and a spiral trunk. The rough and strong knob-like cloud tree was covered with a A fist-sized scarlet fruit, the plump fruit bends the branches, exuding bursts of fruity fragrance.
Obviously, the smell that I smelled before came from this strange fruit tree that I had never seen before.
"Want to have one?"
To Elena's surprise, this time the man did not consider the issue of 'danger'.
"Are you sure it's edible? Is it because the tree is ugly and has nothing to do with beauty?"
Pointing to the heavy fruit tree, Lester smiled softly.
"I'm sure it can be eaten, not because it tries its best to grow fruits not for survival, but for dedication. It wants to gain recognition, or in other words, the recognition of a certain existence. This is the reason why it works hard to grow. If there is no It won’t fight so hard for people it cares about.”
"Foreigner, you seem to know Yun Guo very well. (Ancient Vastaya language of land-walking species)"
A hoarse, unspeakable voice came from behind. It had a very special rhythm like violent raindrops beating on plants. Elena, who was about to say something, was startled. She instinctively pulled up her long bow and used her self-control. The wooden arrows were set up.
The speaker was an old woman. Surrounded by countless flowers, the old woman had a stooped back, pure garlands and colorful shawls wrapped around her shoulders. She wore a simple and hard animal skin dress, covering most of her body. There, only a pair of green pupils flashing green light in the dark, echoing the silver single-edged scissors in his hand, making people feel uneasy.
"Who are you?"
Faced with Elena's questioning, the old woman's eyes did not shift at all. They were always focused on Lester, and she did not seem to regard the woman as a threat.
"Calm down, she's not hostile."
Under the comfort of the man, the woman put down her weapon, but she was still vigilant, because unlike what the man said, she perceived a fatal threat, especially the moment she picked up the weapon, it was not just the old woman, this sense of threat came from in all directions.
"Mother-in-law, we will not harm anyone. (Ancient vastaya language of land-walking species)"
Thanks to the language scroll provided by Helena, although there were some stumblings, the old woman's face hidden in the shadows changed somewhat and became less hostile.
2k
"I didn't expect that there would be foreigners who could understand the language of their ancestors. Although it's a bit lame, it's still rare. (Ancient proverb)"
Looking at the man next to her in shock, Elena felt a little numb. Is there anything else that men don't understand?
After picking a fruit and peeling off the smooth vermilion peel, Lester took the initiative to hand the orange-like six-petal cloud fruit to the gardener's mother-in-law. The old woman took it but did not take it, but with a strange smile, she waited for Lester's next words.
This time Lester did not continue to show off his somewhat lame vastaya ancient language.
"Mother-in-law, you should know Ionian."
"I know many languages, kid. I'm curious, why did you give me this Yun Guo?"
"I didn't see anyone else in this magic garden, so I guess that these fruity cloud fruit trees are only for one person, that is you, mother-in-law, and you don't seem to like cloud fruit."
She tore off a piece and put it in her mouth. Her cheeks, as dry as ancient tree bark, began to move. The old woman clenched her gapped teeth.
"It's too sour. This is the reason why I can't get used to it. Even though it has worked hard to grow, its fullness cannot change its essence - it's you, the outsider. Although you are young, I can't see the real you. You are special, let’s try it together.”
Orange-red juice dripped from the corner of her mouth. The old woman wiped it casually with the back of her hand. After tearing off the third flap, she handed the other half back to Lester. Lester didn't think it was dirty, so he took it and stuffed it. in the mouth.
What surprised Lester was that Yun Guo was not as sour as he imagined, or as the old woman expressed it, and could only be regarded as 'sweet and sour'.
Perhaps because she ate too much sweet things, the old woman's perception of sweet and sour was somewhat different from that of normal people.
"It seems that compared to me, Yun Guo is more suitable to live for you. Outsiders, pick a few fruits and eat them. After you finish eating, I will send you out. Both this garden and you are in danger."
After looking at the weapon in the man's left hand that had never been put down, the old woman used the scissors in her hand to cut off a few crooked branches of the cloud fruit tree.
Branches and several plump cloud fruits fell to the ground, but the old woman didn't even look at them.
"Seeing as you have not harmed these flowers, you can leave here safely and return to the world that belongs to you."
"If we accidentally came in because we got lost, my mother-in-law's suggestion must be very good."
After a pause, something strange appeared in the old woman's eyes.
"You want to go further inside?"
"Yes, we want to go to Omicayaland."
Without any intention of hiding anything, Lester revealed his purpose.
If you can't convince the old woman, the worst result is just to use the sword in your hand to get a pass. There is no point in deceiving the old woman.
"Omicayalan... no one has come here for a long time. Although it is not a good thing for you to go in now, I will not stop you, because I am only responsible for taking care of the garden and feeding these flowers."
Seeing that the matter had been settled, Elena, who was listening on the sidelines, spoke.
"In other words, old lady, are you willing to let us go?"
Only then did the old woman focus on the woman's body, scanning the smooth and fair skin, and her eyes stayed on the woman's face. There was a bit more smile on the old woman's face.
"Young but lacking moisture body, your scent makes the comfortable flowers become restless."
In the woman's somewhat shy expression, the old woman chuckled.
"Of course I will let you go, but before that, I need you to do something for me."
