Although she is still huge compared to other dryads, she no longer has the ability to shake the world.
Nowadays, she is just a kind old man with her last wish, squinting as she watches the younger generations working hard for the last part of her life.
"Isn't it a bit too willful to suddenly want a gift or something?" Grandma said slowly, her words full of vicissitudes of time, "I didn't ask them to prepare them in advance."
Ivy below replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "No, Grandma. Sudden tests can more appropriately select the right candidate. If you are someone who only wants to take but doesn't know how to give, what qualifications do you have to approach Grandma?" ?”
"You..." Grandma said with a smile, "There is no need to take this matter too seriously. You can just regard this as the last bit of willfulness of a little old woman like me. There is no need to take it too seriously."
"No, grandma, all of your requests are for us to try our best to do our best." Ivy said, "We have already taken the gifts from most of the candidates. Please give them one by one." Take a look."
Hearing what Ivy said, Grandma sat up slightly and said, "Okay, then let me see what kind of things these foreign guests have prepared for my old woman here."
Seeing the expectation flashing in her grandmother's eyes, Ivy didn't dare to neglect it. In fact, she was indeed very serious, and more serious than her grandmother imagined.
Before bringing the gift to see her grandmother, she had already screened the gifts in advance.
Exclude gifts that seem perfunctory, insincere, and too shabby.
I just don’t want grandma to feel upset or disappointed when she sees those junk gifts. The ones that can become grandma’s gifts must be those peerless treasures.
Because the quantity was not enough, she secretly stuffed a few pieces in to make up the number, hoping to be favored by her grandmother.
"The first piece." Ivy asked the dryad behind him to present it, "The Crystal Heart from the Ocean City! This is the largest, roundest, and best-colored pearl gem discovered in the deep sea in 500 years!"
A pearl that was almost as big as a fist was displayed in front of my grandmother. The pearl was so bright that it could almost be used as a mirror.
Grandma just took one look at it and said with a smile: "Pearls and gems, they are really nice things... I remember that a long time ago, an Ocean City Lord gave me a similar one, but I didn't know that I threw it away later. Where have they gone? Hey, Pearl is indeed kind, but after all, it is not suitable to be placed in the forest."
Ivy's heart sank, knowing that her grandmother must not be interested in him.
This is the end of the first gift. She obviously still values this very much.
But it was over, Ivy's expression didn't change at all, and she quickly let the servant take the second one.
"The Clara Diamond! This was presented by the Goblin Lord." Ivy said, "It is also the largest, roundest, best-colored, and most excellently polished diamond in the past hundred years."
"Really?" Grandma said, "There is no difference between diamonds and gemstones. They are just stones."
ivy:"……"
If someone else had said this, Ivy would definitely have refuted it, but because it was her grandmother who said this, Ivy could only endure it, and then let the servant get on the third one.
But at this time, she already felt a little uneasy, because diamonds and gems are the most precious of all gifts, but her grandmother did not like them. It cannot be said that the subsequent gifts are not good, but they are still slightly less than these two. A little inferior.
The third gift was a sword. Before Ivy had time to introduce it, she heard her grandmother say in a teasing tone: "My sword is not bad at all? This sword was given to me as a burial gift after I go to the grave, haha... …”
Ivy fell silent, not even introducing him, and just let the servant go to the fourth one.
...Then it went on until the tenth, and all the gifts were presented. Even the ones Ivy prepared to make up the numbers were shown to her grandmother, but her grandmother still did not express her love for any item.
This made Ivy feel very panicked, not because she was afraid of being blamed by her grandmother, but because she felt that in the last moments of her grandmother's life, she couldn't even do this little thing well, and she felt very guilty.
Grandma also noticed Ivy's anxiety and comforted her: "It's okay, you've done a good enough job."
Ivy pursed her lips. She was an absolute elder in the forest. She was like a stubborn little girl in front of her grandmother. She was about to say something when she heard Zi Teng's voice coming from behind her: "Grandma! Let me see you." Grandma! I brought the remaining four gifts!"
Wisteria?
Ivy's brows frowned immediately, not because she hated Wisteria, but because she knew that Wisteria was bound to the foursome.
After Aesop's shocking performance this morning, Ivy had already mentally labeled the four of them as "crazy" and thought that they would never be allowed to get close to her grandmother.
So when I was receiving gifts, I was quite happy to know that they were not around, but I didn't expect that they would come out at such a time.
Grandma also heard Wisteria's voice, and the smile on her face became more kind: "Wisteria, let her come in."
If it were before, Ivy would have definitely tried every means to stop Wisteria from bringing the four people's gifts in, but now, the gifts she prepared were useless, so naturally she couldn't stop Wisteria. She could only nod her head and let The servant released the wisteria.
Ziteng ran in panting, holding four small bottles of different colors in her hand: "Grandma, these are the four remaining gifts."
When Ivy saw what Wisteria was holding, her brows immediately wrinkled.
nectar? !
Is there any mistake?What kind of gift is it, or is it a special product of the forest, given to the grandmother of the forest? !
Ivy was about to get angry, but she heard her grandmother say with a little surprise: "Oh? Is it actually nectar? It's really surprising... Think about it carefully, I haven't tasted nectar for hundreds of years, you know I used to My favorite thing is sweet things. You are really thoughtful, come and let me try it."
Wisteria immediately handed over the bottles, putting Aesop's at the front.
After Grandma took the bottles, she weighed them in her hands and placed one of them in front of Ivy with a smile.
Ivy was slightly stunned, wondering why her grandmother did this.
Grandma smiled and said: "Let's have a taste together... I still remember that when you were little, you liked to pester me to drink nectar."
At that moment, Ivy felt that her eyes were a little dry, and her memory was pulled back a hundred years ago.
"grandmother……"
"Come on, have a taste." Grandma said with a smile, "Let's have a taste together."
Ivy nodded heavily. At this moment, she looked like the little girl a hundred years ago. She took the red nectar and took a sip.
Well...this is what childhood was like...
Ok?
Ivy's brow furrowed again.
Why do you feel...this smell is not right?
Ivy took another sip, and this time drank a little more. After finishing the drink, she smacked her mouth hard.
There's just something wrong with this smell...
Isn't it expired?Those four guys dared to fool them with expired nectar? !
Ivy quickly raised her head and looked at her grandmother: "Grandma, this smell doesn't seem right..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly froze.
Everyone was stunned.
Because in front of their eyes, after Grandma drank the bottle of nectar in her hand, the dead skin on her body was peeling off little by little, and tender new skin was growing. Her old face actually looked a little more youthful at this moment. This is a sight that has never been seen in a hundred years.
Everyone was stunned.
"Grandma, ancestor?"
Grandma also noticed her changes. After being slightly surprised, she said with a smile: "There...is there a strange power in this nectar?"
Ivy stared blankly at her grandmother's changes, then looked down at her nectar and looked at the dead skin on her body.
Then, he also drank the nectar in the bottle.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no change in my body like my grandmother's.
TMD, that’s not right.
Why do I only have a strange smell here?
There is no strange power!
[-] What exactly did you add! (Third update)
"I said, should we really run away?"
When Ziteng took their bottle to hand over to her grandmother, the four of them hid in a house and discussed countermeasures... Oh no, to be precise, the three of them were crowded in Aesop's room, waiting for Aesop Give ideas.
After all, the forest grandmother is a mythical creature. If she really gets angry, it feels like except Aesop who can think of a way, the remaining three people will be completely in vain.
Therefore, the three of them almost had the words "Hey Aesop, think of a solution" written on their faces, but Aesop didn't react at all.
"I said, Aesop," Stank said, "You haven't understood the seriousness of the problem yet."
Aesop nodded.
"That's the Grandmother of the Forest." Bruce also hurriedly came over to chat, "This is very serious. If it doesn't happen, we will all be trapped in it!"
"...Indeed." Jer, who knew the most about history among the three, covered his forehead in difficulty, "Forest Grandmother, during the war years, she could intimidate other races from attacking Jer with her own power. Forest, in exchange for the existence of neutrality and peace for nearly a hundred years, Aesop, are you really sure you can compete with such an opponent?"
Aesop was very self-aware: "I'm not sure."
"Then we haven't..."
"But why should I fight with such a being?" Aesop said matter-of-factly, "I didn't mess with her, the bottle of mine was really just nectar."
With one sentence, the remaining three people were silenced.
Fuck, yes, there is nothing to be afraid of about this guy. The composition of his nectar is not complicated.
At least it's not as complex as theirs, at most it's just not that tasty.
"Listen, Aesop!" Stank pressed Aesop's shoulders, stared directly into his eyes, and said, "We are brothers."
"It can be."
"Since it's... what do you mean it's okay! Can you just go with it?!"
"Okay." Aesop said cheerfully, "That's not the case."
Stank: "?"
"I'm just joking with you. Actually, you don't have to be so nervous." Aesop comforted, "We think nothing will happen. The mythical creatures have long been unable to use common sense to speculate on the logic of their actions. They are too powerful and generally won’t argue with the weak.”
"how do you know?"
"It's said in the book." Aesop said, "And my teacher is also a very powerful person."
Hearing what Aesop said, Stank felt a little relieved: "It turns out to be a real example, then I will..."
"My teacher said that generally no one dares to mess with him. If they do, they can just crush him to death. There is no need to get angry at all."
"...I'm so damn ready to kneel down." Stank was almost thrown off guard by Aesop's sudden turn. "Isn't this just saying that we are already dead?!"
"Should, probably, maybe, probably, probably, not really."
"Do you need to say so many quantifiers?"
Stank felt that he could no longer talk to Aesop. If he kept talking, he would be mad at Aesop before he was pinched to death by his grandmother.
You must save yourself!
So he turned to look at Jer and Bruz: "I think we should run away."
"When?"
"Now, immediately, immediately." Stank said, "Gan, when are you asking? At this time, do we still have a choice?!"
However, just when they were ready to make a decision and run away, there was a knock on the door.
The three of them were suddenly frightened into a cold sweat.
"No, no way?!"
"You move so fast?!"
The hearts of the three of them were pounding in response to the knock on the door, but they still held on to luck and asked tentatively: "Who is it?"
"Of course it's me, who else could it be." Wisteria's voice came from outside the door.
The three of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but not long before they heard Ziteng urge again: "You guys come out quickly, everyone is waiting for you outside."
Big, everyone? !
The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what everyone was referring to, but at this point, running was absolutely impossible, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and open the door.
The scene outside the back door made them feel dizzy.
Yes, they are surrounded.
The leader was Ivy, who was standing next to Wisteria. She led a group of dryad guards and looked at them coldly.
She put her hands behind her back and said in a tone without any warmth: "Hello, you are doing really well."
The three of them exchanged glances again.
There is only sorrow in my heart.
I don’t know if I can leave a whole body for myself if I plead for mercy now.
The few of them were like roosters that had been defeated in a fight, being carried away by a group of tree demons. At the same time, they were thinking in their hearts how to plead for mercy to get this old tree demon to let them go.
But before they could think of a way, Ivy had already brought them to the main hall, where all the foreign aid was waiting.
Then, Ivy walked directly onto the stage and announced a resolution that stunned everyone.
