Chapter 18 The Color of the Wind
"Wait!" Dick heard that Conti was going to steal his business, and couldn't help shouting: "Miss Conti, this is not an ordinary oak tree, can you really afford a thousand gold Dujia?"
"What's a thousand gold duga, I... I bought this tree with two thousand gold duga!" Kandy's bold words seemed lacking in confidence, and he blushed as soon as he spoke, and added embarrassingly: "I don't have such a tree on me." A lot of money, but don't worry, I will write a letter to my family to explain the situation, and it won't be long before my family will bring money."
"Ha! Miss Conti, your ability to make up stories is really not very good. If I were Joan, I would never listen to your nonsense." Dick looked disapproving.
"Okay, since you suspect that I'm lying, let Mira testify."
Conti turned her back angrily, put both hands on the trunk, lowered her eyes and muttered to herself.
Qiao An vaguely heard that she was speaking "Mu Clan language", but couldn't understand what it meant.
Kandy suddenly raised his head, looked at the lush treetops and began to sing softly. The sweet voice flowed from the girl's lips, lingering in the forest, like a clear stream pouring into the hearts of the teenagers. Joan and Dick couldn't help but stop talking. Stop and listen.
...
you think you have everything under your feet
The earth just quietly surrenders under your feet
but i know big trees and animals and even rocks
have their own life, soul and name
...
Have you ever heard the wolf howling at the moon
do you know why bobcats are grinning
can you sing the voice of the mountain
can you paint the color of the wind
...
Rainstorm and river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
we are all connected
like a circle that goes round and round
...
How tall can a tree grow
If you cut it down, you'll never know
...
Conti's singing seems to have magic, and the surrounding trees shake slightly with the melody. A human figure emerged from the trunk of the black oak tree opposite, and a petite and beautiful creature slowly separated from the trunk. It looked like a six or seven-year-old girl, with a beautiful appearance and a wooden luster on her naked skin. Hair is like green leaves and flowers, dancing in the forest covered by branches and leaves to the beat of Kandy's singing.
Both Joan and Dick were deeply shocked by the wonderful scene in front of them, they both held their breath and forgot where they were.
At this moment, Roger, who was sleeping under the tree, was awakened by Kandy's singing, opened his sleepy eyes, and stretched contentedly. The moment he looked up, he accidentally saw the dancing little tree spirit, and he let out an exclamation with his mouth wide open.
The tree spirit Mira was startled by the sudden exclamation, and immediately turned around and fled into the tree trunk, disappearing without a trace.
"Roger! You idiot!" Dick rushed up angrily and slapped his younger brother on the head, "It's all your fault, you scared Miss Mira away!"
"Mi, Mi, Mira?" Roger was puzzled, "Who is that?"
"A little dryad," Joan pointed to the black oak tree, "a woodland elf that lives with this tree."
Hearing everyone talking about the scene just now, Roger understood the ins and outs.
"Wow~ It turns out that there are such creatures as 'dryants' in the world, it's so amazing!" Roger sighed and then regretted, "It's a pity that I fell asleep just now, and I haven't had time to see what the dryads look like. .”
"There will be opportunities in the future, as long as you don't walk into this forest with axes." Conti smiled and warned the Tyndall brothers, "Don't look at Mira's petite appearance, she is actually very powerful, especially good at manipulating trees With spells that confuse people's hearts, if someone tries to destroy the big tree that lives with her, he will definitely suffer."
The Tyndale brothers looked at each other, both showing expressions of fear. Now Dick realized that he hadn't fallen for no reason, and Roger knew that he hadn't fallen asleep for no reason. This was just Mira's small warning to them, if it wasn't for Kandy who came to stop them in time, the consequences would be disastrous.
...
To the north of Alfheim is Midgard, to the south is the Muspelheim Desert, and to the west are the Tusk Mountains with steep ravines and the Idavald Plateau where giants live. The word "Idavalde" comes from the ancient giant language, which means "cloud top", so the Idavalde Plateau is also called "Yunding Plateau". It is said that the royal court of "Cloud Giant" and "Storm Giant" is located Asgard on top of the plateau.
Originating from the Genting Highlands, the Eve River meanders through the Tusk Mountains, flows through the Alfheim area to form a fertile alluvial plain, and flows eastward into the Peek Bay. One of the largest tributaries of the Ivene River is the largest tributary of the Ivene River.
The winter in Alfheim is not as long as in the north. The weather starts to warm up in early February, the snow and ice in the southern swamps melt, the shrubs sprout new green, and the hibernating animals also crawl out of their caves to regain their vitality. In recent years, the lizard people population in the swamp has expanded rapidly, and other large animals including dinosaurs have been overhunted by the lizard people, and it has become increasingly rare. This large swamp, which is almost completely occupied by the lizard people, is named after this " Lizard Swamp".
The hidden and deadly quagmire, together with the brutal and ruthless monsters, make the Lizard Swamp a mysterious and dangerous cloak. It has always been regarded as a forbidden area by the residents of Delin Town, so that whenever a child misbehaves, the adults Always scare him like this: "If you don't obey me again, I will throw you into the lizard swamp!"
In recent years, the residents of Delin Town have been deeply disturbed by the rapid expansion of those cold-blooded neighbors in the swamp—if the lizard people grow too large to obtain sufficient food in the swamp, Delin Town may become their plundering target. Just to guard against such a crisis, the town council formed a security militia group. Every weekend, the young and strong guys put on leather armor, picked up spears, and went to the barracks for training. The imaginary enemy was the lizardmen in the swamp. .
The afternoon sun was blazing, and the swamp was filled with a disgusting rotten smell, and swarms of mosquitoes were buzzing, like clouds of dark clouds floating against the water.
A thin figure held a long wooden stick and tentatively moved forward at the edge of the wetland. His knee-high leather boots were frequently sunk into the mud, and he struggled to pull them out with all his strength. The boy took off his cloak and hood, his fair and delicate face was covered with sweat, and his eyes were dark and deep.
If there is a choice, Joan doesn't want to go to such a muddy place to feed mosquitoes. However, there is no good thing in the world like a pie in the sky. If you want to make a fortune, you have to take some risks and get involved in dangerous situations that most people dare not approach.
Joan came to the swamp alone today to complete a somewhat weird mission - to collect medical leeches.
