Silver Dragon [Western Fantasy]

Samir didn't know what Atlans was thinking. At this time, he had already penetrated into the sea of ​​consciousness of the elf mother tree.

The life fusion was successful once, which was a good start, and Samir was also inspired by it.He was still in the dark at this time, but this time Samir had experience, so he didn't panic, but walked forward firmly, looking for any abnormalities that might appear.

The sea of ​​consciousness of the elf mother tree is very large, and he has already made such mental preparations, especially when walking in the dark, which makes the concept of time blurred.Samir sometimes felt like he had been gone for days, and other times it felt like only a few hours.However, none of these thoughts could shake his will. Relying on his instinct, he went deeper and tried to communicate with the elf mother tree.

Since the elf mother tree rejected him last time, it shows that the elf mother tree still has its own consciousness and can communicate.

I don't know how much time has passed, but Samir is still moving forward. He has made sufficient preparations this time. Although he didn't think about solving the problem once, he would not give up easily.Being in the darkness, feeling nothing, is a kind of torture for anyone, and may even cause mental problems. Samir judges how long it has passed by his own state.

Is it a day?

No, probably not yet, but a long time has passed.

Samir's heart sank. The Elf Mother Tree pushed him away quickly last time, but this time it seemed that there was no response for a long time. Samir had several guesses in his mind. First, the Elf Mother Tree might still be watching, and second, the Elf Mother Tree passed by the Within a month, he became even weaker, and he couldn't even drive him out forcefully.

Samir would rather be in the first case. Before he came in, he also noticed the condition of the fruits outside.Since the last contact with the elf mother tree, he had a strange feeling for the elf mother tree, and Samir didn't want anything to happen to the elf mother tree.

Just as he was thinking, he finally felt the consciousness of the elf mother tree.

The elf mother tree was pushing him out again.

But this time the force was lighter than last time. Samir followed this force and continued to walk in, and that force became stronger and stronger. The elf mother tree conveyed a very clear will: leave here.

Samir said in his heart: I want to help you.

In the sea of ​​consciousness of the elf mother tree, the other party can fully sense his thoughts and will.

The elf mother tree is still just refusing.

you are sick.

Let me go in and have a look, maybe I can help you.

They are all worried about you, those elves, what happened, mother elf tree...

Samir conveyed his thoughts gently and firmly. He tried to make himself appear more sincere, but the elf mother tree was still rejecting him. Samir pressed his chest and said in his heart: It has nothing to do with the elves. I think it out of my own feelings. To help you, Goddess of Nature...

It hurts when I see you hurt.

The force of refusal was gone.

The consciousness of the elf mother tree disappeared at the same time, Samir did not panic, but continued to move forward along the previous track.

The surroundings were still dark, but Samir already had a clear route in his heart. He walked straight forward, and slowly, although the surrounding scene did not change, he suddenly felt a gust of wind.

The sea breeze, with the breath of the sea, lingers around him.

Samir stopped, he was slightly startled, recalling the darkness he had passed through before.

wind.

His heart beat violently, and he had some unbelievable guesses, but they were just guesses.Samir only stayed for a moment, and then continued to move forward. He walked for a long time surrounded by the sea wind, and then the wind slowed down, bringing with it the smell of vegetation in the mountains and forests. After a while, the wind stopped completely, and then he walked again. Experienced the wind mixed with water vapor, the violent wind with sand and gravel, the wind from the ground...

Samir stopped. Although it was dark around him, he felt cold at this time. With the oncoming wind, he saw a snowflake falling on his arm.

Samir watched the snowflake slowly melt.

He raised his head slightly, then jumped up and flew away with wings flapping.

Afterwards, after passing through the sea-breathing wind again, a light spot finally appeared in front of his eyes.

As Samir flew closer and closer, the spot of light became bigger and bigger, and the place covered by the light was an island, lush and green, covered by towering trees, with mountains and valleys in between, endless streams, almost It can be called a paradise.

It is Elf Island.

Samir slowly landed on the beach. Looking back, except for the blue coastline in front of him, there was still darkness behind him.

How much time has passed?

About five days.

He has been walking in this direction since he entered the sea of ​​consciousness of the elf mother tree, and he walked for five days before arriving at the core.

It is enough to show how huge the entire sea of ​​consciousness of the elf mother tree is.

Samir landed on the beach, and then walked towards the inner island of the elves familiarly. His hands stroked the big trees one by one, the leaves rustled down, and there was a hint of black in the veins of the green leaves.

Fairy mother tree, what happened?

He kept walking, and when he got here, the elf mother tree never rejected him, but showed him a way.A pale golden light spot appeared in front of him, Samir followed, the golden light spot led him through the woods, the surrounding became brighter and shimmering, even the trees were transparent, like jade carvings Formed, but full of strong vitality.

Samir was wrapped in a strong breath of life, and felt very comfortable. All the negative emotions accumulated in the boundless darkness before disappeared.

The light spot stopped suddenly, then jumped and flew forward lightly.

A strange scene appeared in front of Samir.

In front of his eyes, what he saw was a field of growing saplings, scattered on the soft soil, and some seeds had almost grown out of branches, a group of young trees that seemed to mature soon.However, these saplings are black all over, whether it is the trunk or the leaves, it is a disturbing jet black.

There is a pale golden light cluster covering this area, and it rains continuously. When the rain falls on the saplings, the black on their bodies is washed away, revealing the emerald green, transparent and clear branches inside.However, after the rain fell, the blackness spread again, completely covering up the emerald green.

The golden light spot just now merged into the pale golden light cluster in the sky.

Samir walked over slowly.

A part of the light group split off and floated in front of Samir. There was no entity in the light group, only a faint shadow emitting golden light.

This is the consciousness of the elf mother tree.

"I see." Samir knelt down on one knee and stroked a pitch-black sapling. When the rain fell, he saw the shocking green.

The elf mother tree was silent.

"It's not you that's the problem, it's these fruits, the elf cubs that haven't been born yet." Samir said, "These elf cubs are absorbing your life... Those few people at the beginning, they directly attacked the elf cubs , as long as the fruit is on the tree, you can never recover."

A soft voice came from the light cluster: "That's right."

They communicate directly with consciousness, so this voice has no obvious gender distinction.

But very gentle.

Samir couldn't describe it, he could only think of it, a long time ago, when he was just born, his mother held him in her arms, called his name with the same voice, and coaxed him to sleep.

"Are you treating them?" Samir asked, the rain also fell on him, and it wasn't cold, but reminded him of the warm lake water on Mojache's Ridge that had been sun-baked.

The elf mother tree said softly: "I want them to be born smoothly."

Samir could feel the pulse of life in the saplings under his hands.

He sorted out his thoughts. What the necromancer did to the elf mother tree was to pollute these unborn cubs.As the elf cubs grow up, they have been consuming the vitality of the elf mother tree.As long as these cubs are still there, the elf mother tree will never recover, and there will never be another batch of elf cubs.

The only way is to let these cubs be born and leave the elf mother tree.

However, there is a problem with this batch of cubs. They can only survive by relying on the elf mother tree, and they will die the moment they leave the elf mother tree.

What the elf mother tree is doing now is to heal these elf cubs so that they can be born normally.

Samir fell silent.

Now, he can also understand why the elf mother tree refuses to communicate with the elves.What would the elves do if they knew about this? At present, the fastest and most trouble-free way is to give up these elf cubs directly.

And the elf mother tree didn't want to give up on them.

It is unwilling to give up any life, so it has been consuming itself and raising these sick cubs.

Samir stood up and looked at the lush trees around him, but in the entire sea of ​​consciousness, only Elf Island was like this.Beyond Elf Island, including the ocean, is darkness.

"Here, it wasn't like this, right?" Samir asked, he could almost imagine how spectacular the sea of ​​consciousness was before being eroded.

"I also miss the previous scenery very much." The elf mother tree said.

"Why don't you give up those elf cubs?"

"They also want to live." The pale golden light wrapped Samir's body from behind, and then took his hand and placed it on the pitch-black sapling.

They're alive, and I want them to be alive.

The elf mother tree conveyed this idea silently.

Samir wanted to ask if it was worth it, however for the elf mother tree, that wasn't even a question.

At this time, he was quite sure that the sea of ​​consciousness of the elf mother tree was the entire continent of Redras.

It was Samir who had traveled to many places in Redras Continent before he remembered it. After passing through a certain mountain wind, he suddenly felt very familiar.The subsequent journey also confirmed his thoughts one by one.And only by using the entire Redlas Continent as the sea of ​​consciousness can he be allowed to walk for five consecutive days.

If it weren't for the cultivation and treatment of these elf cubs, the entire sea of ​​consciousness should be bright and clean.

All places should be as beautiful as Fairy Island.

Now, however, only the Elf Island barely remains the same.

The elf mother tree was once a goddess of nature.

The goddess of nature is not only the nature of the elves...

Her favor once spread throughout the entire Redras continent.Every plant and tree, including Mojacher's Ridge, has also been blessed by nature.

You can't help me, go away, kid.

Said the elf mother tree.

The pale golden light group left Samir's body, ready to re-merge with the big light group in the air.Samir turned his head and stretched out his hand. His hand passed through the light ball. The elf mother tree didn't mind his adventure and stopped in place.

"The problem now is those elf cubs." Samir calmed down and said, "Obviously, you can't heal them, and even drag yourself down."

The elf mother tree floated up gently, watching him quietly.

Yes, it is.

Samir put his hands on his chest, feeling the scorching heat in it: "This is not only your business, but also the business of the elves and the entire Redras continent. You should not bear it alone."

The elf mother tree seemed to smile. Samir didn't need to observe the expression of a ball of light, he could directly feel the elf mother tree's emotion.

"I beg you, don't waste yourself anymore." Samir said in a low voice, "I will tell the elves about all the causes and effects, and I will also find a way to solve the problem of these cubs. We can help you, I believe , the patriarch will not give up these elf cubs directly."

The pale golden light group moved closer slightly.

"Even if the patriarch is not good, I still believe in the ancestor of the elves." Samir added.

The elf mother tree looked at him quietly for a while, and in the sea of ​​consciousness, all of Samir's thoughts would be displayed straightforwardly.He was not afraid of this, and looked frankly at the golden light in front of him.

After a while, the elf mother tree said softly, "Little Silver Dragon..."

Samir blinked.

"Have you always been like this?"

Samir thought for a while, not sure what the elf mother tree was talking about, so he asked, "Are you referring to meddling?"

"Probably so."

"I do have such a problem, and I have been working hard to correct it. But, your business is not a trivial matter."

Samir said seriously: "I want to see what this sea of ​​consciousness really looks like."

The elf mother tree seemed to smile again.

Samir's heart moved slightly, and then he heard the elf mother tree say: "Then I'll wait for you, little silver dragon."

Samir was stunned, his eyes blurred, and he left the sea of ​​consciousness of the elf mother tree.

He left from a dense greenery and plunged into another dense forest, without even reacting for a moment.It wasn't until he saw the hanging blond hair and a pair of worried green eyes that he suddenly realized that he had been pushed out by the elf mother tree.

He opened his mouth, but no words came out. There was interference in his throat, and he could only make a few strange tones.Atlantis fed him dew from a green leaf and said, "Five days have passed."

Really five days.

Samir used too much magic power, and felt a severe headache when he woke up a little.Atlans fed him the dew, and Samir interfered with his throat. For the first time, he felt that the dew was so delicious.He drank too fast and choked, so Atlantis helped him sit up again and stroked his back gently.

At this moment, Samir found himself sitting on the ground, carefully held by Atlans, while the patriarch was standing aside, looking at them strangely.

Samir was indeed very tired. He leaned on Atlantis and said to the team leader, "I did see the mother elf tree, and I also know the real reason for its illness."

The patriarch's eyes lit up immediately, and he even sat down to look at Samir, and asked anxiously, "What's going on?"

Samir told the two elves everything he knew.

After hearing this, the elf patriarch frowned deeply: "So, is the problem with this batch of elf cubs?"

Samir: "Yes."

"The elf mother tree has been keeping them alive?" The elf patriarch looked up at the black fruits. At this time, his eyes had changed from pure worry to extremely complicated.

Samir said: "When I left, the rain had stopped. As long as the elf mother tree doesn't consume itself to heal the cubs, its situation will be better."

The patriarch of the elves was silent for a moment, and said: "This batch of fruits is about to ripen, and we don't have much time. We must find a way to deal with the fruits. If there is no other way in the end, we can only let them be born directly..."

As he spoke, he silenced Samir and Landerst's eyes: "Why are you looking at me like this? The most important thing is of course the elf mother tree. If there is really no other way, I can only give up on them."

Samir thought to himself, no wonder the elf mother tree began to refuse to communicate with the elves, but it knew the elf patriarch very well.

"There will be a way." Samir raised his hand, Atlans helped him up, his bones creaked, Samir rubbed his wrist, and said: "The necromancer was already dead. However, some of his men are still alive. Go find it, and there must be some people who have a way to solve this problem."

Atlans said: "Since the problem is with these cubs, I can temporarily help the elf mother tree to keep them alive."

Samir thought to himself, as expected, Atlans is more reliable, and it deserves to be the ancestor of the elves.

Regarding the issue of the elf mother tree, we can only come to an end for the time being, and the next step is to find a solution to those cubs.Of course, this matter must be done by the elves. After all, the goddess of nature finally chose to turn into an elf mother tree instead of a dragon mother tree or a human mother tree. Until now, the strength and beauty of the elves are rare. Take responsibility for it.

After they left the Elven Mother Tree, the sky outside had begun to darken, and there were still some orange-red gorgeous sunset glows in the sky, while their backs were shrouded in a dark blue sky.

The moon had risen, and Samir looked up at the moon, and the moon looked at him.

The patriarch left very sensibly, since Samir really told the cause of the elf mother tree, he respected Samir very much.

For a moment, only Samir and Atlans were left outside the forest.

"Let's go to the beach for a walk." Samir said.

Atlans' heart skipped a beat. He didn't know why he made such a proposal. Based on his understanding of him, Atlans already had a bad premonition in his heart.

They didn't go in the direction of the pier, but changed to another remote coast.Under the dark blue night sky, the sea water is also a dark blue, which is pure and vivid, eye-catching, as if the body and mind are sinking here, and the moonlight jumps on the waves , like a silver fish.

Samir looked towards the pier and asked, "Why is the pier so quiet?"

Atlans explained: "Because the Holy Tree Festival is coming, the venue was cleared in advance."

Samir smiled, thinking that the Holy Tree Festival of the elves is not the same as the Great Sea Banquet in the City of Gray Feathers. It is a completely internal festival, and only the elves and a few outsiders can participate.

"I didn't expect the situation of the elf mother tree to be like this." Samir said: "From a rational point of view, it might be better to give up those elves earlier, because the elf mother tree itself will not be consumed to such an extent, and the next A batch of elf cubs may have been successfully born."

"But the elf mother tree won't do that." He lowered his head, kicked away the small stone at his feet, and suddenly asked, "Master Ancestor, if it were you, what would you do?"

Atlantis was silent for a while, then said, "I don't know."

Samir: "Huh?"

"Now I also have a lot of thoughts, rational or correct, but if I don't experience it personally, I will never know what I will do."

Samir bent down and picked up a small stone: "I didn't expect you to be confused sometimes."

Atlantis looked at him from behind him: "Samir, I'm not what you imagined..."

Samir stood up, turned his back to him, and played with the small stone in his hand.

"I know." Samir said, "The one I liked back then was also the you in my fantasy."

Atlantis: "..."

Samir said: "It's not all your problem, I'm sorry, Atlantis, I left without saying goodbye, I always wanted to apologize to you."

Looking at his back, Atlantis suddenly felt flustered for some reason.

"You are not what I imagined, but maybe better than I imagined." Samir said.

Atlantis: "Samir..."

Samir: "Let's call it a day."

After Atlans was shocked violently, he calmed down and asked, "Is it because of Lang Luo?"

After Samir finished speaking, he felt that he could face Atlans, so he turned around. Unexpectedly, Atlans suddenly took a step forward and approached him.

"No, it's not..." Samir tried hard to make it clear: "I have planned to do this for a long time. I sincerely apologize to you, and then make it clear. What Lang Luo said... Well, it does have a little relationship, he let I have strengthened my determination.”

"You like him that much?" Atlans asked lightly, although his tone was calm, it made Samir's heart skip a beat.

"I like it very much, but the relationship can only be deepened if we get along more..." Samir said in a mess, he didn't want to involve Lang Luo.

I don't know if Atlantis listened, but after a while, he suddenly said, "Sacred Tree Festival...can you come to see me?"

The author has something to say:
