Chapter 17 The Oath of the Past
Moria had a dream.
In the dream, she returned to the Mun Forest, and returned to the oldest country of the wood elves and forest elves.
In the sun, the exquisite wood houses in the forest are like works of art. The elegant wood elves play moving music with their hunting bows. The happy forest elves run and jump among the trees, playing carefreely. When they are tired, they turn into trees, enjoy the nourishment of the sunshine and rain, and enjoy the fruits full of each other's branches.
The trees transformed into forest spirits are all over the city. The leaves cover the sky and the sun, and the fruits on the branches are colorful. If you take a bite, it will be crispy and sweet, making it impossible to stop.
In the forest where spring is like spring, the tree spirits will never lack food, fruits on the trees, tuber underground, and mushrooms growing on their own trunks.
The colorful mushrooms are enough to scare away uninformed outsiders, but they are all fooled. These brightly colored mushrooms are all edible. The truly poisonous mushrooms are those ordinary little guys.
Wait, wait, mushroom?
With a "huh", Moria, who was kneeling comfortably on the bed, suddenly stood up and woke up from her sleep. The first thing she did was to pat the fur on her deer-shaped lower body, until she confirmed that it was just a dream and she had not yet grown mushrooms, so she was completely relieved.
In the proverb in the forest, the saying that if the forest spirits are too lazy to grow mushrooms is specially prepared for the forest spirits. It is said that if the forest spirit maintains the shape of a tree for too long, mushrooms will grow on the body. Moria does not want to experience it once, as it will be a shame that will be ridiculed by her fellow people for hundreds of years.
Looking at the pocket watch that Maca Jaylen placed on the table, the time was almost over. Moria shook her fur and walked out of the dormitory to prepare for shift changes. As soon as she left the door, she saw an interesting scene.
Shuer and Saf sat shoulder to shoulder at the table, with crystal energy lamps powered by light-attribute crystal stones on the table, emitting incandescent light. On the table, all the books I harvested last night were spread out, and each of them was covered with paper, constantly writing and painting on the paper.
"Shul, do you find that their words have only three vowels."
"I'm now only three vowel letters have been confirmed, and it's not necessarily only three. In addition, I think it's enough for them to have only one vowel, gua."
"Young ghost, take a look, these letters appear in these words."
"Yeah, yeah, it's not bad, it's amazing. I found another one. It should be the root of several other words. Wait a moment, I'll write it down."
"Hehe." The female swordsman showed a silly smile, obviously very helpful for this praise.
"By the way, there is a book called "Semantic Variations of Words."
"Well, I think about it, on the third floor, 3-217-4."
"Case 217? Oh, it turned out to be that book, well, the fourth rule of variation, I remembered it, it's like this."
Bite her lips and Lin Jing smiled slightly. This scene was so familiar. Whenever there was something to study, the two people would cooperate with each other as they are now.
Speaking of which, the two are also perfect matches. One can clearly remember the name of each book in the big library, roughly the content and storage location, and the other is even more exaggerated. It took more than two years to stuff more than half of the books in the big library into my mind. Although most of them are memorized by rote, and even the title and content of the book are not even in line with it, it is quite amazing.
Once the two cooperate with each other, it is equivalent to quickly checking more than half of the 103,000 books in the Grand Library of the Temple of the Gods, which is enough to deal with most of the research.
"Huh, today's progress is good. Look, Sassa, this is what you can basically determine now."
"Oh, they have so many auxiliary verbs, fourteen?"
"Yes, but the pronoun is relatively...well? Why did Xiaolu come here so early?"
The man and woman who were immersed in the research of words did not discover the Lin Jing behind her until now.
"To see your sweet world of two people." Moria raised her eyebrows and her smile was full of ambiguity.
"Ah." There is no doubt that the female swordsman's face was dyed red again, but this time she did not hide. She looked around and saw that there was indeed no one else around. She simply threw herself on Moria's deer back and bit her soft fur.
"Hehe, don't make a fuss, it's very itchy." Lin Jing twisted his body and made a series of clear laughter.
"No matter what, I want to eat deer steak!" Saf said vaguely, using Moria's back to block his red face.
"Okay, since the deer has already gotten up, Sassa, you can go and rest. You came at least half an hour earlier, and you will be fine when you go back to sleep. You don't have to worry about me, this can't be completed in a day or two, it doesn't matter."
"Then you... OK." Suff just hesitated and chose to obey. She absolutely trusted Shul, including every word he said.
Well, except for some time.
The female swordsman's departure made the activity room quiet again. The sound of turning pages and rubbing against paper and pen were particularly obvious in the quiet room.
Opening the jam bottle, digging a spoonful of jam into his mouth, Moria knelt beside Shuer, holding her chin to look at Shuer's focused look, her face seemed to be smiling, as if she understood everything, but she seemed to know nothing.
Shuer didn't look up, his eyes never left the books in front of him. Even though the spoon containing the jam had been handed to his mouth, he just opened his mouth expressionlessly and ate it without even remembering the thing like licking the spoon.
"Is it very dangerous?" Ms. Lin Jing finally frowned, breaking the silence for the first time.
"It's hard to say, not sure, so I'm trying to figure it out."
"But you've already guessed, don't you?"
Shuer did not answer. He did have any guesses, but it would be better to hide such uncertainty in his heart. Talking it rashly will only cause trouble, and it is very likely to shake everyone's will and make the team fall into chaos due to panic. Instead of getting this result, Shuer would rather choose to take on it alone.
"I understand." Moria nodded and closed her mouth tactfully.
Silence spread again, but this time, silence was no longer as harmonious and tacit as before, but instead brought a hint of embarrassment.
"Pa", Xiuer closed the book repeatedly, sighed deeply, and finally raised his head. He didn't want to hurt Moria, the little deer who liked to lie beside him.
However, as soon as he raised his head, he saw Moria's face with a bright smile, with a full of pride on her face. It was obvious that Lin Jing, who deliberately created an awkward atmosphere, had already guessed Shuer's reaction.
"You guy." Shure shook his head laughed and cried, "and he likes pranks."
"Hehe, Sul, since your thoughts have been interrupted, just answer me a question, okay?" Moria lay on the table with her chin on her arm, and smiled mischievously, "I wanted to ask last night."
"Ask, even if I can't say it well, you can find a way to ask."
"Hehehe, I ask you, do you still remember that night two years ago?"
"Huh? Which?" Xiuer was stunned, with a confused look on his face.
"It was that night. We both ate the Flame Fruit together, and we were drunk, and then I was ridden by you."
"Hey." Shuer's forehead was leaping with blue veins, "Don't you omit so much, okay?"
"Okay OK, to be precise, you rode me and let's have a ride on the Roda field together. It seems you still remember it very clearly."
"No," Shuer said suspiciously, "Aren't you drunk and unconscious?"
"Yeah, I'm pretending."
"You, you, you..." Xiuer sweated coldly and pointed at the proud Lin Jing, "You won't remember everything, right?"
"No, no, no, I forgot a lot of things." Lin Jing shook her head with a smile, "For example, you bristle me, you lick the juice on the corner of my mouth, you..."
"Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, ask with gritted teeth, "You even remember these, do you say that..."
"Hehe, guess right." Moria tilted her head, squeezed her eyes cutely, and said leisurely, "I remember very clearly that someone hugged me and cried all night by drinking."
"Oh, it's so embarrassing." Shure pressed his forehead and groaned in pain, "I can't remember what I said."
"You have said a lot, for example, your confession."
Xiu'er's face suddenly darkened, and he couldn't even show his smile.
"You told me seventeen times how cute the sister in my hometown is, eleven times how close you were before, twenty-six times you like her and be proud of her, and twelfth times she admires you and loves you more than she does."
Xiu lowered his head and silently looked at his slightly trembling fingers.
"Then, you told me fifty-nine times, how regretful are you. Tell me, even if it is already at the last moment, no matter who you two are, as long as you can give each other a little trust, you can change everything."
"Yes, as long as I can trust her a little, our conflict will be resolved." Shur's voice was uneven, as if he was saying something about someone else.
"You keep telling me your regrets. You say that Lisa is the opportunity given by the gods to make up for the mistakes in the past. You say that you should always be kind to her and never let your sister's past repeat itself in her."
"You said, you vow to change your past habits. You must give the greatest trust to your relatives and friends around you, and never let unreasonable suspicion lead to tragedy again."
"Shul, I remember every word you say, what about you? Do you still remember these vows?"
"If you remember, then I hope you tell me that this is your trust in those who have given your life to you?"
Suddenly, Moria's voice became stern and her angry eyes shot directly into Xiu'er's heart.
"It's great to hide everything in your heart, right? Is it proud? Bah."
"Why don't you tell everyone? I'm afraid everyone is worried? I don't want to put pressure on everyone? Nonsense, in the final analysis, I don't trust everyone and feel that everyone can't share the pressure for you."
"You have good intentions. If you want to take everything alone, then you will come out and take risks alone. What will you ask us to do together? What will others think when you do this?"
"I tell you, others will feel that you don't regard everyone as teammates who share hardships, and you don't regard everyone as partners who can deliver them to your back."
"We trust you, give your life to you, and are willing to die with you. What about you? You just repay our trust? You just trust us so much?"
"Trust is mutual. Only trust can be exchanged for trust. You can do this once and twice. If it is like this, who will trust you again and be willing to hand over your life to you? Your oath will be a complete nonsense."
"Okay." Xiu'er's expression eased instead, and he sighed, "I already understood when you say the second sentence."
"I know." Lin Jing nodded seriously, "I just want to scold you a few more words later, after all, the opportunity is rare."
"Hello."
"I know you're wrong?"
"Um."
"That's good." The Lin Jing's sudden smile was like the gorgeous flowers in the Mun Forest, "Then allow you to ride me again."
Chapter completed!
