Chapter 261 Mottled Sunshine
The world in the Emerald Forest is different from the rainforest or jungle imagined by Roland Hill in the past. It is a wider place.
Tall trees, like brackets, support the world in the shade. Under the broad canopy, there is a space wider than a football field, in which the fine sunlight shines obliquely, and birds and animals fly and roam in it.
Sitting in this wooden 'bird', Lorraine felt like she was walking through a bizarre tunnel, full of animals and monsters she had never seen before, among them glowing deer with long blue tail feathers The birds, the electric-bearded lynx running, the black-necked railing chickens that burrowed out of the cave, and so on.
In addition to these animals or monsters, scattered or gathered tree houses are often seen. They have a variety of red, blue, yellow, green roofs, round or semi-circular, distributed along the water or trees. On the waist, some elves live a comfortable life in the woods.
Although the outside world has taken turns to fight, this seems to be a very distant thing for these elves in the forest. They are far away from the war and still live a relaxed and simple life.
With plenty of time and energy, elves can immerse themselves in their personal world, which is why the art field of the upper class of the empire is often controlled by elves.
Lifelike paintings, beautiful music, moving operas, and sung poetry, these elves' creations have greatly enriched the spiritual realm within the empire.
Through the vast painting scrolls, people can see the cold wind and snow in the north, experience the hardships of the small borderlands, the beauty and prosperity of the imperial capital Titenya, and the touching poems and stories that introduce people and things that were originally unknown. In your eyes, let you see and be familiar with it.
These allowed the empire to not collapse as quickly as the previous dynasties after unifying the continent for nearly half, but gradually blended together under the intoxication of these arts to form a pan-common whole.
It's a pity that such achievements are not noticed by the emperors of later generations, because when they were born, the empire was already like this, and everything was accustomed to it, so it didn't feel strange. The gradual withdrawal of elves from various fields of the empire has also made many people gradually unfamiliar with these pasts.
'Flying bird'-like wooden aircraft in the shade of trees sometimes climbs, sometimes glides, sometimes hovers, and flexibly shuttles through the world of vines and branches, which also makes Lorraine Hill feel a kind of novelty. He touched the wooden frame under his body and looked at the principle of flight.
Although this flight mode like a bird flapping its wings is not as fast and labor-saving as a common airplane, it is undoubtedly better in terms of freedom, and it is also very suitable for this complex situation in the forest.
It does not need a runway to take off, as long as there is a platform to park it, it can walk in the shade like a butterfly, pick up passengers and a small amount of cargo, and then climb and glide.
Seeing the curious and surprised appearance of the girl beside her, Xia Li smiled happily. She raised her hand in the wind and easily picked a green fruit from the tree while flying, and handed it to sit aside. Lorraine Hill.
"Just rub it and you can eat it. This kind of quince is not sour, it has a slight sweetness, and it is very thirst-quenching."
As she said that, the cyan fruit, which was bigger than a fist, rolled into her arms and let Roland Hill catch it before rolling out of her knees.
The green fruit is still stained with a small amount of dew, and it is a little moist. It feels a little harder than an apple, but there are ups and downs.
After wiping it clean with a towel, Roland Hill tried to take a bite, and the skin immediately had a green taste, but the inner pulp was exactly as Charlie said, with sufficient moisture and a slight acidity. Sweet and very tasty.
"How about it, it's delicious, haha." Xia Li laughed, her golden hair spread freely in the wind, and a cheerful and comfortable mood also spread into the girl's heart.
Gudian
In the past few years, she has been busy with the affairs of the 'Fairy Wood'. Although she also has time to rest, she can't completely relax. There is still war in the empire, and some worries and anxieties are constantly accumulating in her heart.
If I do this, is it really good for the people of the empire, or is it like a retreat from those who are fighting for power and profit.
There is still something that has not been done and done well. Is it possible to improve it? I always feel that I have lived up to everyone's expectations.
Although no one in the organization would accuse her, she couldn't let go of it calmly, and her sense of responsibility would still urge herself, which was hard to ignore.
After coming to this forest away from the southern border, she was no longer tired of her past identity in a short time, and a rare relaxation and fun gradually filled up. It is like opening the windows of a long dull house, and the fresh wind and light pass through the door, becoming comfortable and peaceful.
"Thank you~"
Holding the cyan fruit and nibbling at it, Roland Hill smiled after a long absence.
"Haha, no need to thank you." Charlie smiled happily when she saw that Roland Hill liked to eat, and then lowered the joystick, the 'bird' was gliding long distances in the forest, and the delicate air flow continued from the side of the ear. fly over.
"We are going to the Emerald Garden, which is the center of the Emerald Forest. It will take about a day and a half, and we will be there tomorrow."
"So, I'll take a night off on the way, and I'll take you to the Tenglong River Bay. Although it's not a big city in the forest, it's a very friendly and comfortable place. I went to school there when I was a kid, and I know a lot of friends. ." In the breeze, Charlie and Loren Hill explained tonight's arrangements.
The girl nodded, saying that it would be good to listen to Charlie's arrangements, and it would not be a day or two short of time now.
Sitting in this wooden 'flying bird', Roland Hill gradually became familiar with its control mode and flight characteristics. Seeing the girl's interested appearance, Charlie was also very relieved to give up the driving position and let Roland
Hill drives.
Anyway, she can control the situation when something goes wrong. The big deal is that she breaks and is scolded by Grandpa Gramsa. This forest elf has such a bold and comfortable character.
After changing to the driving position, Lorraine Hill and all the newbies started to be cautious and cautious, as if in the past, when he was learning the driver's license, he was a little nervous in anticipation.
Holding the polished and warm joystick, after pouring magic power, the gem in the center emits a faint emerald halo, and then Roland Hill sensed that the magic power flowed to the transmission device of the belly along the devices and veins on the aircraft. , and the veins on the four wings.
The atmosphere lifts it up under the fanning of the transparent and thin wings, and the wings on both sides can deflect and steer. If it is fanned forward, it can accelerate.
Driving such a 'flying bird' is like playing with a fresh and real toy, allowing people to experience the timely feedback after each manipulation, as well as the tactile sensation of the air blowing from the side of the body. No wonder Charlie still feels this way when flying. The aircraft can not put it down.
Under the shade of the high tree canopy, this white 'flying bird' moves smartly through the forest, sometimes flying and falling, spinning and gliding. The time in the afternoon passes by unconsciously, as if everything goes back to the past, that carefree of summer.
