Chapter Twenty-Five: A Haven in the Snow
Lan Che's palm was facing up, and a turquoise leaf was lying there, carved from jasper in a trance.
Ciri's blue eyes narrowed suddenly, and without saying a word, she picked up the embroidery needle in her hand and threw it at the girl in black in front of her.
The embroidery needle is so light and thin, but in the hands of this elf girl, it is like a huge rock, Lan Che's eyes are slightly constricted, but his body is still motionless.
The embroidery needle shot straight into Lan Che's body, then pierced out, and finally disappeared into the doorway behind her, flying into the unknowable distance.
Lan Che looked at the elf who was suddenly in trouble quietly, waiting for the other party's emotions to ease.
Ciri put down the silk cloth in his hand and stood up from his seat, with a clear chill in his eyes: "Don't think that I can't do anything about you if you hide in the cracks of the world." ”
Lan Che spoke slowly: "I came with kindness. ”
Ciri sneered, "I don't know anyone who would take the leaves of the Eternal Tree to show kindness to an elf. ”
With that, Ciri began to take the first step.
She walked towards Lan Che, each step was as if she was stepping on the tip of a knife, slow and painful, but the elf girl had no extra emotions on her face, and walked up step by step.
Lan Che looked at each other, still motionless.
But Ciri had come to Lan Che slowly and with difficulty, reaching out to grab the other man's wrist.
She did, and then slammed it out under her.
Lan Che was snatched out of the other world by her, and then fell the floor of the banyan hut, her whole body slapped into the solid wood, and she could even feel the whole banyan tree shiver slightly.
Lan Che felt that the bones in his whole body were about to shatter, or rather, a few bones had been shattered, and Ciri was still holding Lan Che's wrist, and in Lan Che's palm was the leaf of the Eternal Tree.
Ciri half-knelt down, grabbed the other's wrist with one hand, and met the girl's cat-eyed green eyes.
"I don't accept your kindness."
Lan Che coughed lightly, pink blood foam seeped out of her lips, she shook her head a little self-deprecatingly, and then spoke: "This leaf was picked in Ye Ye City. ”
Ciri couldn't help but let go of her hand.
The moment she let go of her hand, Lan Che was out of the world again, she stood up from the ground as if floating, her body passed through Ciri's body like smoke, and then stood up again not far away, the broken bones were spliced and repaired by themselves in the body, and the strained muscles slowly squirmed and grew, almost just between breaths, and the injuries caused to her by Ciri just now were already minimal.
Ciri looked at the other party: "I feel more relieved to hold on to you." ”
Lan Che smiled, this time the smile finally had a bit of a human touch: "I'm really glad that this time it wasn't my ex." ”
Ciri didn't know what her ex was, but somehow she felt a little relieved, so her expression finally softened a little.
"Isn't there something you don't want us to know about here?"
She used very vague formulations.
Then Ciri added earnestly: "If I could, I would choose not to know." ”
Lan Che's expression was a little subtle.
This elf is really easy to understand.
Yes, this leaf was picked from the Ye Ye Academy, not from going to the Elven Continent to touch the butts of those tigers.
Before Mentor Ainlu left, the branch of the Tree of Life brought by the previous weapon was inserted here, replacing the saint to maintain the rules and order here, in a sense, the branch of the Tree of Life that was blessed by Ainlu was the same as the Tree of Eternity that the Elves relied on to reproduce, and it was inevitable that the other party would admit their mistake.
But in the same way, because this "Tree of Eternity" maintains the magical climate of the cold rainforest in the northeast corner of Ye Ye City, and comes with rules to modify the perception of reality, on the one hand, almost everyone in Ye Ye City has no curiosity about this ancient tree that was created out of thin air, as if it has grown there since ancient times.
What's more, this "Tree of Eternity" modifies the perception of the elven mission led by Ciri.
They unconsciously believe that there is a very suitable guest house for them to live in, and as for the unreasonable, unscientific, why, these strange thoughts will not be born from their minds at all, more accurately.
They don't realize that there was another elf who lived here before them, and had lived there for hundreds of years.
Ciri actually knows very little, but she has one thing she grasps very well.
That's what some people don't want to know, and it's better that they still don't know.
At that moment, Lan Che even somewhat understood why the rulers of this world had rotated several times, and this group of elves could still live leisurely and contentedly, never worrying about extinction.
It really makes sense to have a high level of consciousness.
Lan Che nodded: "Then I'll make a long story short." ”
"There will be the heaviest snow ever in Yeye City, so heavy that it can flood the city."
"This is the only safe haven in the city, and if you can stay here and wait until the snow is over, you can leave with what you want."
"Any human, elf or other sapient life that takes refuge in this haven can escape this snowfall, but everything that comes out of this haven can be overwhelmed by snowflakes."
Ciri nodded, "I don't know if I understand it or not, but what I want to say is." ”
"My favorite thing in the world lately is snow."
Lan Che nodded, noncommittal: "I already have an answer to the other part of the transaction, I don't ask you to give a clear answer, I am only responsible for ordering this seed, looking forward to it taking root in the future." ”
"After all, you elves are the most rational and knowledgeable species in this world."
……
……
Carrotes looked at the man in front of him with a desperate expression, and reached out to touch his greasy hair: "Are you not sure that you have found the wrong person?" ”
It was a crude space, with rough brown rocks underfoot, and no sun, moon or stars overhead, only a white expanse, less like a sky or clouds, more like a glowing ceiling.
Of course, there is no life, whether it is birds or animals or insects or even plants, there is no world.
Even though this world is very small, although Carrotes didn't really measure it with his feet, he vaguely felt that it was just a small world with a radius of about a hundred kilometers.
The other party didn't speak, and Carrotes couldn't help but continue: "Sumeru Mirror, Mustard Seed Na Sumeru, there are nine thousand small worlds within one mirror, but I feel that this small world is a bit shabby no matter how you say it,"
The person on the other side grinned, and the wound on his face almost burst open: "It doesn't matter if it's simple, it's enough to kill people." ”
