The cave was very dark, with only some fluorescent flowers in the sea of ​​flowers providing pitiful light.

Lan Jie glanced at it and saw almost nothing. However, Lu Lin, who was wearing a crow mask, saw the structure of the entire space thoroughly.

This is a hemispherical cavity. Except for the soil on the ground, the walls and top are the same wooden structure as before. Obviously, they are still staying inside the giant tree at this time.

And in the center of the hollow, there was something wrapped with white branches, like an oversized amber.

Lu Lin looked at the amber carefully and vaguely felt that there was a shadow like a human figure in it.

No.

wrong.

That's not like.

That was clearly a person sealed in amber.

It was a naked man.

He has well-proportioned limbs, muscles that are not exaggerated but powerful, long black hair flowing freely, a handsome face, and his eyes closed, unlike a corpse, as if he has fallen into a deep sleep.

The white witch stood beside Amber and turned to look at Lu Lin and Lan Jie.

"This is..." Lan Jie walked closer and seemed to finally see the scene in the amber clearly, and immediately took a breath of air, "Oh my God! There is a person inside?!"

Lu Lin did not speak, but looked at the White Witch, waiting for her to speak.

The White Miko took a deep breath, and then her voice slowly sounded in their ears.

"You said that when you were in Gaoya City, you met an old beggar. He kept talking about the beautiful forest, and he still had my portrait on him..."

"Yes," Lu Lin nodded.

"His name is Debilins, and he is also a brave man. I am sorry for him and did not fulfill my promise..."

The white miko's voice was extremely sad.

"At least he didn't lose hope until he died," Lulin said. "I buried him and he will rest in peace."

"Well, thank you," the White Witch nodded, "Now, what you see is the 'him' he is talking about. I promised Debilings that I will cure this guy, but... I So far, I still haven’t been able to do it.”

"So, who is he?" Lu Lin asked.

"His name is Yan Qualdis," the White Witch said softly. "He was the strongest brave man a hundred years ago. He was the only hope of the brave men a hundred years ago. He was also the only light in my life..."

----

A hundred years ago, in a small village on the southern border of the empire, in an ordinary family, a somewhat special girl was born.

It is said that when she was born, she was pale, her lips were tightly closed, she neither cried nor fussed, and even did not breathe.

The midwife who delivered her was so frightened that she thought she had delivered a dead baby.

Not only the midwife, but also the birth mother had the same misunderstanding when she saw her child like this. She thought that her child, who had been pregnant for ten months and had gone through the pain of childbirth, had died just after birth, and she actually fainted on the spot.

After his biological father learned the result, he couldn't stand still and almost knelt on the ground.

It was not until the midwife took out the child later that he struggled and turned over in her arms that everyone realized that the child did not seem to be dead.

At that time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the child's biological father was even more overjoyed. He immediately stepped forward to pick up his child, wanting to see what his cute baby looked like.

however……

What he saw was not the cute face he imagined, but two empty eye sockets.

Yes, this child was born without eyes.

Her father was so frightened that he trembled and threw the child out. The midwife caught the child because of her quick eyesight and quick hands.

But after catching it, the midwife was also frightened. She let go of her hand and let the child fall directly to the ground. Then she rolled and crawled back several meters while shouting about monsters.

Just when the child landed, everyone finally heard the child's cry.

However, although the child's eyes were tightly closed at this time, holding his little hands with a pained expression, his mouth never opened from the beginning to the end.

As for the cry, it didn't sound like it came from the child's mouth. Instead, it seemed like it sounded directly in everyone's hearts.

Moreover, the cry was so ethereal and sharp, not like a human voice at all.

The villagers were frightened, and someone immediately shouted: "Quick! Go and ask the old witch doctor to come and take a look!"

This village is not small, but the land is barren, so it is very poor. Although it is within the empire, there is not even a holy church.

On weekdays, if the villagers get sick, they can only rely on the village witch doctor to make some herbal medicine.

In addition, as a witch doctor, his knowledge is naturally much wider than that of ordinary villagers, so naturally, this witch doctor has become a symbol of authority in the village.

Even if he is actually a low-level witch doctor who was born with mud-legged legs and has never met a famous teacher in his life.

When the old witch doctor was called, he thought it was just someone who had given birth to a deformed child. In this world, intermarriage is not taboo, and there are not a few children who are born with deformities or intellectual disabilities.

Therefore, he didn't take it seriously at first, and thought about just saying some words of relief, selling some amulets, and then doing whatever he wanted to do.

But when he really heard the ethereal cry that sounded in his heart.

Looking at the empty eyes full of tears.

Looking at the skin that was so pale that there was no blood at all and the tightly closed lips, the old witch doctor was frightened.

Where has he seen such a thing before?

"There are evil spirits! There are evil spirits!" The fear of the unknown made him yell out without thinking.

To be honest, this kind of behavior is no different from scaring the villagers nearby who are shouting monsters.

After all, he is just a junior witch doctor. How different can he be from an ordinary villager?

However, the villagers did not think so.

In their hearts, what the old witch doctor said was [-]% true.

So the villagers panicked and began to surround the old witch doctor, asking him what to do now.

At this time, the old witch doctor also realized that he had made a mistake, but looking at the panicked expressions and pleading eyes of everyone, and listening to the harsh and ethereal voice in his ears, the old witch doctor also knew that at this moment, he was afraid that he would not be able to get off the stage. .

"Don't worry, everyone!" he shouted, and his brain began to work rapidly.

baby.

Pale skin.

Like a dead baby.

Ghostly cries.

Eye sockets as empty as mummies...

correct!

correct!

He got it!

"This, this is a wraith transformed from a dead baby!" The old witch doctor shouted out the answer that he had worked hard to think of, "Yes, that's right! We should bury her under the sacred tree! Let her rest in peace!"

Chapter 1 Ignorance leads to disaster and anger and prejudice

In this world, almost every village has something that is worshiped by the villagers for various reasons.

For example, a big tree with strong magical power, a spring with magic minerals underneath it, or a boulder with a simple strange shape may all be given names such as gods and saints by the villagers to worship and serve as relief in times of famine. Psychological comfort when you don’t know what to do.

The so-called sacred tree in the village is actually just such a tree.

It grew on a nearby hill, and there happened to be a magic vein running underneath it. The tree, nourished by the magic, grew larger than other trees. Various precious plants often grew under the tree. Over time, it became known to the villagers. As the so-called sacred tree.

Once an object is labeled as divine, people will instinctively think that it has the effect of slaying demons and warding off evil spirits.

As a result, this poor little girl, who was considered a dead infant, was buried under the sacred tree as soon as she was born.

The mother thought her child was dead and knew nothing about it.

Although his father hesitated, he finally believed the witch doctor and did not stop him.

After that, the witch doctor and the villagers knelt and sat under the sacred tree for a whole day and night, constantly reciting the only requiem spell the witch doctor knew, praying that the ghost baby they thought could sleep peacefully.

At first, they could still hear crying, but in the second half of the night, they never heard crying again.

The witch doctor and the villagers both believed that the ghost baby should have really rested in peace, and then they breathed a sigh of relief and left with the villagers.

But what they didn't expect was that a few months later, the ghost baby they thought had fallen asleep would crawl out of the ground again.

After all, this is a world full of magic and miracles.

There is magic, there is witchcraft, there are all kinds of mysterious powers.

In such a world, there will always be some special things that appear by chance.

It may be related to bloodline, or it may be related to the region, or it may be that certain conditions were met by chance.

When this happens to plants, they become what the world calls exotic flowers.

When this kind of thing happens to animals, it becomes a rare beast among the people of the world.

And if it happens to people...

What happens then depends on luck.

Obviously, this girl's luck is not particularly good.

Being born in a small village like this, it is almost inevitable that you will be treated as a freak and evil, and you may even be buried alive on the day you are born.

But her luck didn't seem entirely bad.

Because she had a special body between humans and plants, she survived even though she was buried underground.

Not only did he survive, he was still alive and well because the place where he was buried was above the demonic leyline.

Her body is obviously better developed than other children of the same age, and her hair has grown out, but unlike humans, what grows on her head are slender snow-white branches.

She still had her eyes closed. Although she had a mouth that could eat normally, she was more accustomed to absorbing nutrients directly from the earth.

Although her head emerged from the ground, it was not to leave here, let alone to find her parents.

After all, she is still so young.

In her world, she had no idea that she was born from a human being. In fact, she felt more like a tree.

A slightly different tree.

Emerging from the ground was purely her instinctive desire to bask in the sun.

It was okay in the first two days. After all, people don’t come to the Divine Tree at any time.

On the third day, a family came to pray at the sacred tree, hoping that the crops in their field would grow better.

As a result, before I even got there, I saw a girl with her head exposed and basking in the sun.

This family was so frightened that they immediately ran back to the village.

When the villagers heard the news, they were immediately furious. They all ran to find the old witch doctor and asked him why the ghost babies came out again after they were all laid to rest.

The old witch doctor was dumbfounded when he heard this.

How does he know.

Isn't he also careless?

But now, he can't say that the method he mentioned before is just something he takes for granted, right?

However, that weird little thing actually came out again.

This is how to do?

If that thing is really a ghost, will it eat people in the future?

If the ghost wanted to eat people, the villagers would definitely ask him to find a way to subdue the ghost, but how could he have that ability?

Thinking of this, the old witch doctor made a decision.

No matter what that thing was, it was time for him to run away.

As for now...

After thinking about it, he suddenly thought of an idea.
