Chapter 13 The Third Eye

The black oak was not more than a hundred yards from the cabin.

Joan took Kandy through the bushes, and a tall tree appeared in their sight.

Looking from a distance, the tall tree crown is really that of Hei Cen Cen. When you get closer, you will find that the branches and leaves are actually dark green, but the greenness is too deep, and the leaves reflect the sunlight, showing a charming color of black and gold.

Conti was fascinated by the tall and straight plant at the first sight of the black oak tree, and walked around the big tree, caressing the trunk from time to time and expressing admiration.

After all, Joan was not a Druid. He only knew that the tree was very valuable, but he didn't see anything particularly attractive about it. After confirming that the black oak tree was growing well, he turned and walked away to check the growth of other nearby trees.

Joan wandered around in the woods for half an hour. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he turned back the same way. On the way, he suddenly heard Candy's cheers from the side of the black oak tree. He frowned secretly, not knowing why the girl made such a fuss again.

Just as he was wondering, Conti's cheering turned into a loud conversation, in a very strange language, some of which seemed to be derived from Elvish, but with different grammar and pronunciation.

The more Joan listened, the more curious she became, and she couldn't help speeding up her pace. Looking through the branches and leaves in the forest, I saw Kandy standing under the black oak tree from a distance, looking up at the crown of the tree, talking loudly and gesticulating, as if he was chatting with someone.

Joan looked up the tree, the dense branches and leaves blocked his view, and he couldn't see anything unusual. Can't help shouting at Conti: "Who are you talking to?"

Kandy looked back and saw Joan, a smile appeared on his face immediately, and he said excitedly: "It's a dryad, Joan! A little dryad lives in this tree, her name is Mira, we We became good friends as soon as we met!"

"I think you can become good friends with anyone." Joan approached the black oak tree and watched carefully, but couldn't find where the new friend Conti mentioned was hiding.

"Mira? Why are you hiding?" Kandy shouted at the tree, "Come out, Mira! Don't be afraid, Joan is not a bad person!"

The big tree was silent, and the so-called "dryant" that Conti called had disappeared.

Joan frowned gradually. This black oak tree grew up with him, and he thought that no one except his grandfather knew the tree better than him, but he had never seen any "dryant" on the tree, so he had to suspect that Conti was either making up a story, Either what you just saw was just an illusion.

"It's a pity, Mira is too timid and shy to come out to see you." Candy said regretfully.

"But how dare she take the initiative to appear in front of you?" Joan asked calmly.

"Probably because I'm a druid..." Conti said thoughtfully, "A kind goblin can sense the aura of natural power from me, and Mira also wants to make friends!"

Joan twitched the corner of her mouth, it was really hard to refute.

"What did you talk about just now?"

"It's just to get to know each other. I'm not very proficient in the wood language, and I don't know how much Mira understands." Conti said regretfully.

"Wooden language?"

"Well, this is the most common language used by woodland goblins. I don't know if Mira can speak human or elf language, so I tried to greet her in Sylvan language from the beginning."

Hearing what she said vividly, and her expression didn't look like she was lying, Joan couldn't help but wonder: Did Kandy really see the dryad just now?

Alfheim has been known for frequent goblins since ancient times. It is said that there is a portal leading to the kingdom of goblins deep in the jungle. Therefore, although Joan himself has never witnessed it with his own eyes, he believes that there are really dryads in this world.

Joan also saw glowing humanoid insects by the pond when he was a child, and his grandfather told him that it was a kind of goblin named "Grizzly". The "tree spirit" belongs to a branch of the big fairy family, and its body size is much larger than that of the little goblins like the "grey spirit", and its living habits are also different.

It is said that the dryad always lives in symbiosis with a big tree. As long as the symbiotic big tree is still growing, the dryad will not grow old, stay young forever, and occasionally appear in front of human beings, always in the image of a beautiful girl. Joan also heard that the dryad is good at casting spells. If someone tries to destroy her symbiotic tree or destroy the nearby forests, the dryad will take revenge. Get lost, or summon vines to bind each other...

Now that Joan recalled it, it seemed that this black oak tree had never been infested by insects, and there were no wild boars or monkeys around.

When Joan was a child, she heard her grandfather talk about the habits of dryads. This beautiful and shy creature would only actively appear in front of innocent, kind and nature-loving people. Both occupations are attractive to dryads. If the black oak tree really has a symbiotic dryad, it would be reasonable and reasonable to take the initiative to appear in front of Kandy. In contrast... Joan sighed, thinking that he was neither kind enough nor loving nature enough. It's not surprising that I have a good impression and avoid it far away.

Thinking of this, Joan simply turned and walked away, so as not to disturb Kandy's communication with the tree spirit that might exist. However, as soon as he walked not far, Conti jumped up and followed him, as if he thought it would be more interesting to walk with him instead of chatting with the dryad.

This made Qiao An feel a little sorry, and tried to take the initiative to chat with her, but unfortunately he was really not good at striking up a conversation, so he finally hurried on without saying a word. Conti was quite happy, and sang happily on the road.

Joan didn't know what song Kandy was singing, so she listened silently while driving. The girl's sweet singing echoed in his ears, making him feel fascinated, and his steps became a little lighter.

Walking into the forest clearing again, a gust of wind blew in front of him, and Joan's cloak hood slid back, revealing a section of the back of his fair neck.

The singing stopped suddenly behind him and was replaced by an exclamation. Kandy stopped in astonishment, covered her mouth with her hands, stared at the back of Joan's neck with her eyes wide open - there was a dark eye between the third and fourth cervical vertebrae, which was quietly Staring at her, a strange luster flashed in the depths of his pupils.

Hearing Kandy's exclamation, Joan stopped, silently pulled up the hood of the cloak to cover the weird eye behind his neck, and continued on his way without looking back.

Kandy hesitated for a few seconds, then quickened his pace to catch up with Joan. The horror of that moment just now still lingered in her mind. Although she had many questions, she couldn't muster up the courage to ask Joan about the weird eyeball on the back of his neck.
