Evetrona's old stories

Eve cooperated with the goblins to complete the weaving of her own fabric - when they flew to the ground, she raised her feet; when they wrapped around her waist, she stretched her arms; finally, the silk threads were gathered at the neck, so she lifted her long hair.

The craftsmanship of the goblins was astonishing, and it was obviously beyond the level of tailor-made, after all, they woven a set of clothes directly on her body.Thin and soft nets surrounded her limbs and waist, while the soles of her feet and those more private parts transitioned into dense and smooth weaving. After finishing these, the fairies took the trouble to embroider silver leaves and flowers on those monotonous nets with fine needles.

The goblins threw the spiders with shriveled bellies in the grass, allowing the arthropods that had awakened from anesthesia to escape to the distance. During this period, they returned to the big tree several times to replenish new "spindles".

Eve suddenly thought that the gold leaf on the collar of her dress might be embroidered with this kind of spider silk.

The goblins returned to the tree, leaving only two girls wearing golden fabrics. The fabric has a metallic luster in the sun, which can better bring out the beauty of women's curves. Although it is very beautiful and comfortable to wear, Eve always feels that her current appearance is a bit obscene... I hope she is thinking wrong.Nymph under the tree beckoned to the two of them, asking them to sit on the soft grass, among the crowd.

Zhixin chuckled lightly, as if laughing at herself.She took a step, took Eve's hand and walked towards them.The fingers wrapped in silk had an inexplicable sense of touch.

So far, they told the story under the tree.

Everyone likes to listen to stories: cheerful, heavy, comedic, tragic, bright, dark, real, fictional... No matter what, people are always attracted by stories—people put themselves into the stories and see themselves from the stories.Listening to the plot, listening to the experience, listening to the rhythm and poetry, or just to feel a kind of emotion, people satisfy the eccentricity of spying on other people's lives from the story, and shuttle in the streets of morality and desire; But it is even more fascinating, because thinking always includes personal imagination and beautification.

Every nymph is a master of storytelling. They talk about life, ethics, life and death, the universe and philosophy. They always come up with some names that Eve has never heard before, but they don't explain it—— —perhaps they were invented in the first place.

Time is passing slowly, but Ningfu always has endless stories to tell. Eve was a little restless at first, but it didn't take long for her to be attracted by those stories with bizarre plots and rich content.

Just like fairies weaving spider silk, Nymphs are also weaving stories. They are using a very ingenious method to tightly entangle this newcomer.

The sun rises and sets, Eve is immersed in the stories of the nymphs, she has not yet noticed the passage of time-and in such a long time, she does not feel thirsty or hungry, and she has never even felt sleepy ... She has been sitting under the shade of a tree, never paying attention to the passing of the sun and the moon.

Until one evening, when a story came to an end, Zhi Xin patted her on the shoulder in a timely manner, and the girl woke up like a dream. She wiped her tear-filled eyes, and looked at the fox beside her with some puzzlement. family.

"Okay, enough stories, we should go." Zhixin said to them, "I'm sorry, if the work is not done, I will always have a lump in my heart."

After speaking, she pulled Eve out of the shade.At this point, the sun was sinking toward the horizon.The nymphs watched them leave with a smile. They opened the portal without any retention.

After passing through the portal they came from, they returned to the shallow pool. To Eve's surprise, her clothes and book covers returned to her almost instantly, and her loose hair was also tied up again. Bunched up, and the golden spider silk wrapped around the skin is rapidly disintegrating and dissipating, as if it never existed.For this, she still felt a little regretful.

At this time, the dawn dawned, the sunlight passed through the gaps in the trees, and spread along the misty ground and water, the world was waking up, the earth was trembling, fairies appeared from among the leaves, and the twilight shone across the sky——under the shadow of the majestic tree crown, it seemed that there were stars all over, like the bright eyes of the ether.

Eve looked at the giant tree and was so excited that she couldn't help but think of a sentence.

"At the beginning of the morning sun, it rumbled." She murmured to herself.

This was what Sigourney had said to her.At this moment, she didn't realize that she was speaking Elvish.

Zhi Xin looked at the girl beside her, and her blue eyes as bright as a starry sky, and couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems that the goal of the nymphs has been achieved." She said.

"What's their purpose?" Eve came back to her senses.

Above their heads, the goblins were flying towards the distance, Zhixin walked towards the outer edge of the shallow pool, and Eve followed behind her.

The two sat on a log.

"They gain insight from stories, and they are also letting you gain this insight." Zhixin said, "Their stories come from the creation of the deep space tree-this is their talent. Do you remember the stories they told?"

"It seems... I don't have any memory." Eve frowned, trying hard to recall, but in the end it was still in vain.Not only the stories that made her laugh or cry, but she can't even remember Nymph's appearance—but it's only been a short time since we parted.

"It's okay, it's normal. The tree of deep space is also a kind of Ortigia's magical creation. It's hard to say whether it's a plant or an animal. It's a tree, but it has all over the nerves. It can think, but it thinks so slowly. Fairies poured natural nectar and human knowledge into it, so it gave birth to all kinds of strange emotions. Nymphs ingested these emotions, and then used the story as a carrier to tell her companions in an understandable way... This is what we have heard these days—— An emotional experience beyond words."

"How long have we been here?" Eve finally remembered this after she reminded her.

"It's almost two months." Zhixin replied.

"It's been so long!" Eve was extremely surprised, "No, I should go back..."

Zhixin smiled and nodded, watching her run away in a panic.

"Thank you—thank you for waking me up just now." The girl stopped galloping in the shallow water and the rising sun, and the clear water swung towards both sides.Although there are still many things to ask, time has been delayed for so long, and Eve must rush back as soon as possible.On the shore, she found her boots and stockings—in this humid environment, they were not completely soaked, and Eve didn't have time to think about it.

Flying down the fallen leaves and the river, stumbled all the way, a group of goblins chased after her, attached to her back and hair, and left home with her.The splashing water wetted her skirt and cuffs, but she didn't care about that much anymore—after such a long time, she didn't know if her companions had left her and returned first.

However, halfway through the journey, she found that she had lost her way, and while going around, she met several elves who were hunting in the forest, so she asked them to take her to the Settlement.After returning to the tribe, the impatient girl hurriedly thanked them, jumped off the huge Tionnek, and ran to the previous resting place.

On the way, she met Yuqie who was taking a walk.

"Yuqie...So you haven't left yet, have Lelier and the others gone back?" Eve finally felt relieved after seeing her acquaintance.

"You...are speaking Elvish?" Yuqie couldn't understand what she was saying, so he was very surprised, "So you can also speak Elvish."

Only then did Eve realize that she was not using the same language when communicating with the other party—so she repeated what she had just said in kriging.

"Go back? Where are you going? They are probably still sleeping—you came back so early, I thought it would take at least two or three days to see Ningfu."

Yuqie's answer made her a little confused.

"What do you mean, how long have I been away?"

"One night. As far as I know...you set off last night." Yuqie answered seriously.

"Last night?" Eve was extremely confused.

She took out a wristwatch from the book cover, and the date on it showed September 9th - the tenth day of Ascension.

This precision machine powered by Fengluwei is still running.

"You know, I went to the place where Ningfu lived, but I didn't do anything, just listened to their stories for two months." When she thought of this, she felt weird, "After I came back and looked, this It's just been one night... Do you think this matter is not unusual?"

"It's not weird at all - no matter what you have experienced, I don't think it's weird." Yuqie comforted her, "It's better to say, this is you."

At this moment, they all remembered the scene of their first encounter.

"You probably think highly of me." Eve said, "I'm not as powerful as you think."

The new year in Parnas was coming to an end, and later on, people from all tribes gathered by the road, and they were going to a clearing in the east of the forest—tonight, people from all tribes would gather there to hold a grand bonfire party.

"I want to ask—" Eve said to Latorie, "tonight's carnival...is there any scene that is 'not suitable for children'."

She said these words in the elf language-for some reason, after returning from Nymph, she seemed to have fully mastered this language.

La Toli replied with a smile: "Don't worry, the people here are not like those over there." At this time, they followed the large army to the meeting area, and the elf was looking in the direction of the city, "There are many people who are affected I can’t get the atmosphere of the city, that’s why I came here.”

The meeting place is close to a river, and from here you can reach the shallow pool where the tree of deep space is located.In fact, the canopy of the deep space tree has already extended to here, compared to standing under the giant tree and looking up at the sky last night, the corner seen from here is more majestic.

The golden sand comes from the broken Qingkong Realm above the head. In the shallow pool and most of the lower reaches of the river, this kind of smooth sand is almost always piled up.

After the goblins flew back to the homeland of the nymphs and the canopy of the giant tree was completely extinguished, a dozen "grandmothers" raised torches and together lit three huge bonfires in the center of the open space.

In the forest full of trees, bonfires are only allowed to be lit during festivals.

The elves played their instruments, and they began the first round of singing.

Different from the day-long carnival of the Klikin Ascension Festival, the festive atmosphere of Parnas is melodious and far-reaching, just like their harps, like their fine wine-the elves have always been in a peaceful and quiet forest, and they cannot accept an environment that is too noisy.

As passers-by, the people in Qingshui Castle did not really participate in the celebration, only a few children mixed into the crowd, jumping and having fun with the local young people.

"I'm a little envious." Eileende said, "They don't seem to have any troubles at all. Even if they have troubles, they forget them all when they turn their heads."

Eve felt the same way. She looked at the burning bonfire and said, "Sometimes I really want to be like them, playing from morning to night without thinking about anything...even playing in mud all day is fine."

Erinde was amused by her words, "If you want to play someday, you must call me - I want to see how you play."

"I thought you would say, you want to play with me."

"How dirty, I don't play."

La Toli and Elven Grandmother walked up to them and put light blue garlands on their heads. Afterwards, the two girls bowed to them with the etiquette of the Elven tribe.

"According to the custom, in our place, the children have to wear garlands." La Toli explained the reason to them, and then continued to move forward - not only the fifth generation of little witches, but even Yuqie , Lelier, and Streki also got one each.

"It's all right now, we're all children." Lelie helped the wreath above her head. The 70-year-old witch was grinning from ear to ear.

Latoli and her grandmother are far away, and they are still handing out garlands to the children of their kind.On the way, they passed an old man, and the grandmother gave the thin old man a wreath. Not only that, a mother with a child in her arms also asked them for a pair.

Elves have a long lifespan, much longer than new humans, and in their eyes, there may be no clear boundaries and distinctions between children and adults.

In other words, "mature" is always relative, and they would rather believe that they are children who are always growing.

If possible, Eve also hopes that she can live in such a community: the scope does not need to be too large, and there are not so many people in contact. Everyone is familiar with each other-these people are either friends or always have mutual friends.

Like this group of elves, a group with a foundation of trust.

The existing life is always unsatisfactory, but sometimes, the yearning for other people's lives may be just a flash of inspiration-do not really want to be someone else.

Not far away, someone moved an exquisite rattan chair to the open space, facing the bonfire far away.Eve looked at the chair, and thought: If she was an elf, spending several days knitting such a practical and beautiful object by herself would be a very fulfilling thing—during this process, she would get up early every day, and all she could think about was it...one day she would finish it.

It is a work that contains a person's dedication and affection.People are always hoarding, and hoarding works is obviously more meaningful than hoarding goods... But the reality does not allow people to do this-making a crooked stool with jerky craftsmanship, the time and energy it takes, You could buy a better-crafted stool for the same amount of work you do... so why not?

La Toli and the grandmother went back and forth, but Eve was not only interrupted by them thinking, but even put on the chair in a daze.

"You guys are..." Eve didn't know what they were going to do, and when she came back to her senses, she had almost become the focus of everyone's attention.

"Actually, grandma had a guess when she saw you for the first time, but she wasn't sure at the time." La Toli explained, "But there must be no controversy now, you are the 'Nymph' of the elves."

Grandmother asked her to sit here in order to give some testimony.

Our protagonist, the white-haired maiden, wears a crown of blue flowers and embellished with pale green gemstones on her forehead - and she looks around to see that everyone is looking at her, and all of them are devout - even her companions.

She couldn't help sighing that these people respected her not because of what she had done, but because of her innate identity—because she was Nymph, Eve, the darling of fate, and the snow favored by the sun Feng... what they worship is her body, not her soul.

But after thinking about it, she despised herself a little, and laughed at herself for being unsatisfied—it was just an ordinary person, and what was there to redeem about her soul?Maybe... I never had a real transformation.

In the face of the great honor and happiness, Eve was a little confused. She couldn't accept the gift of fate with peace of mind, so much so that she began to belittle herself.

A couple of elves half-kneeled in front of her, and talked about their past from meeting to passionate love in front of everyone. They were shy and bold, and they stumbled when they spoke, which really made people laugh.

Eve kept a faint smile, just listened to them quietly, and then handed them a bag of flower seeds—in Parnas's tribe, there are always different forms of flower seeds at the same time. Marriage, whatever it is, is not a marriage under the law.

When the two got the flower seeds, they were almost moved to tears by each other's love words - starting tomorrow, the couple will move to a new home, and they will spread these flower seeds at the bottom of the wall, take good care of them every day, and wait until After a few months, vines and flowers will cover the walls, and they will attract goblins who can ward off mosquitoes and symbolize good luck.

Under the double moon, the young Nymph witnessed these simple and happy people, but in her smile, there was a trace of her own sadness hidden.

In such a lively and happy atmosphere, she was homesick.

Not only Boyun Manor, but also another... the hometown she couldn't return to that she felt she had long forgotten.

Like a shower, the feeling of homesickness is so strong and uncontrollable. She tried her best to suppress the sour taste in her nasal cavity, and squeezed out a smile. She responded to those happy people until the basket in her arms was empty. As long as there is a packet of flower seeds.

Amidst the songs and praises of the elves, she finally left the stage and returned to her companions, but her mood did not calm down.

Sit quietly for a while until no one pays attention to yourself.

She stood up and said to Erinde beside her, "I'll go to the river for a walk, and I'll be back soon."

Erinde put down the fruit drink in her hand and wanted to go with her, but she refused.

Eve walked into the woodland behind her and walked towards the river.This is a gentle river. She waded through the river and went to the other side of the river. At this time, she was still in a calm mood.Walking upstream along the river, she didn't stop until there was a dense tree crown above her head and the surrounding area was pitch black.

She held on to the trunk of a tree, and finally burst into tears. She wept silently in the dark, her limbs were almost numb and ignorant, and she even felt cramps in her chest—she squatted down and sat powerlessly in the grass.

The festive singing was still wafting in the distance. Eve wiped away her tears and sat quietly for a while.She breathed a sigh of relief and recalled some old things.

She thought of her former room—sometimes it was as messy as Aixin's room, and sometimes the mother came from afar just to see her son, so the son had to watch her tidy up the house in fear.The span of time and distance made them gradually learn to understand each other, and it seemed that everything was moving in a good direction... But she couldn't see the ending after all, because she left and went to a place that no one knew.She missed her mother, her mother when she quarreled with her, and her tenderness to her when she was a child.

And her childhood was naturally a childhood that belonged to teenagers.

Compared with girls, boys may have a more comfortable childhood, because in more traditional family concepts, parents usually prefer lively and brave boys, and quiet and decent girls-for example-fathers will not He overemphasized the importance of "cherishing himself" to his son, but the mother taught her daughter the "shame" she should have as a woman by precept and example.

After coming to Kedral, she sometimes wondered: If she came here as a baby and grew up slowly—that is, if she started again as a complete woman, would she understand the mind of a woman better?If so, would I live a more peaceful life now?But this is just an assumption, her childhood is still a teenager's childhood: overcoming walls, making trouble, fighting, skipping classes... Although in the eyes of the elders, he has always been an honest and obedient child, but a naughty child should do nothing.

Eve misses her childhood and the freedom she had at that time—besides, she also misses her partner who played with her since she was a child.She thought that if she could return to that world one day, she must tell him about this bizarre experience, and she would tell him—you see, I had a dream, and I dreamed that I turned into a young and beautiful girl, and it happened to be the kind that everyone wanted.

The girl thought it was funny, so she laughed again with tears in her eyes.The mood seems to have improved a lot.

I don't know how the mother will feel when she sees her son now.

Eve stood up and slapped off the grass and dirt off her body.She didn't want to go back yet, so she decided to continue walking upstream—it was not too far from the Deep Space Tree. For some reason, she really wanted to see Zhixin again and chat with her.Maybe it's because few people in this world know her details - there are too many secrets hidden in the girl's heart, and sometimes she really wants to find someone to confide in.

However, the shallow pool was empty, much to her disappointment.

But the quiet vibe is nice too.She took off her shoes and found a clean log to sit on.

She is always thinking wildly, good ideas and bad ideas, evil and beautiful, or unrealistic ideas... As long as she can think of it, she will think about it, no matter the occasion is suitable or not-she seems to be used to this A way to entertain and entertain yourself.

The bushes behind her made a sound, and she stood up and looked back nervously.

In the darkness, the faint light formed by the spell illuminated the figure behind the tree—Yu cut through a dense branch and walked towards her.

"Why are you here?" Eve was a little surprised. She wiped the corners of her eyes, as if trying to cover up the traces of her crying.

"I..." Yuqie hesitated to speak, his eyes revealed a look of worry.

"Let's sit together." Eve said lightly.She sat back on the log and patted the seat beside her.

They sat together and were silent for a while at first.

"I heard you said before that your hometown is in Hatan." Her voice was muffled and nasal, "Don't you want to go back and have a look?"

"Perhaps." Yuqie answered vaguely.
