Chapter 537 No Experience
Chapter 537 No Experience
All you see is green.
In addition to green, there is also brilliant golden light.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the treetops, dripping slowly like melted honey. Tiny specks of light floated in the air, dancing joyfully to the accompaniment of the noisy chirping of cicadas, as if the forest were breathing.
The surroundings seemed to be wrapped in a layer of gauze-like morning mist, everything was hazy. The person walked forward on the ground covered with fallen leaves. The naughty leaves repeatedly brushed against the ends of her hair, but she didn't know how to dodge, as if she was used to it.
She stopped before a low-hanging treetop, its branches dense and heavy, bending down almost to the ground. She saw herself raising her hand, trying to pry open the branch with her fingertips, but the branch suddenly trembled, then slowly rose, higher and higher...
It turned out that it was not an ordinary tree crown, but the lowered head of an oak guard. Its rough face was faintly visible in the mottled light and shadow. In the middle of the tree trunk were two eyes as deep as ancient wells, gazing at her gently.
It retreated, its huge body moving in the forest without disturbing even a bird. The surrounding scenery swayed with it, like the reflection in the water being gently stirred. Below the place where it retreated, there were several figures gathered together talking and laughing in the shade of the trees. It had just squatted beside them and observed curiously.
"Take that brat away and don't leave him here." As the sight got closer, a woman's voice sounded, her tone full of impatience.
Laughter echoed from under the shade of the trees. Someone with a blurred face raised their eyes and jokingly said, "What's wrong? Even you can't stand him?"
"Stop talking nonsense, especially you, Lilith. He is your follower, you are responsible for him!"
"Ah, but didn't you say that we just need to watch him finish eating the eggshells, and he will find something to eat when he is hungry." The woman's voice was innocent.
"Do you really think of him as a puppy? You have to teach him a lesson. He can run and fly now, but in a few days he'll be able to set fires!"
"Shouldn't you be the one to come? We can't teach him how to use the flame sac." The others interjected with a smile.
"Who wants to take care of Lilith's cub?"
"Oh, please, Fustwen." A green dress floated over. "He needs the inheritance of the dragon clan, and you are the only candidate. Besides, he is of the same kind as you. Isn't it good to have the company of the same kind? Isn't it you who always says that being alone is boring?"
"Is that what I meant?!"
"Hehe, you dragons are too arrogant and always keep to yourself, which is why you were targeted by the void and were swallowed up one by one. It's time to make a change. You are more suitable to teach that brat." It turned out that there were two people hanging on the oak guard. After hearing the conversation below, one of them shouted downwards.
"Shh! He's waking up!" Another person next to him quickly poked his arm.
Turning my sight, I saw a small black shadow sleeping soundly in the middle of the crowd, with his belly lying on his back, unaware of the disgust of others. But when he smacked his lips and began to twist his body, the people around him hurriedly dispersed.
"I have to go to Thousand Needles Bridge first to check the situation and see if we need to set up a new aid point. It's close to the front line there, so it's not suitable to take him with me. So, I'm leaving it to you, Fustwin, to pick him up as soon as I get back. You see, Zephirion really enjoys playing with you!"
The green skirt fluttered in the swaying picture. She picked up the black ball and stuffed it into the hands of the person who came. As her eyes lowered, a young black dragon opened its eyes in confusion. Seeing the strong senior in front of it, it excitedly opened its mouth and gently bit her arm, and its saliva also came up. She felt a chill and shivered directly, trying to shake this guy off.
"Boom!"
"Ouch!"
Lilith opened her eyes in pain. She was still lying on the small bed in the dormitory. Her arm swung out violently in her sleep and hit the corner of the wooden bedside table directly. The pain pulled her out of her dream.
But apart from the initial instinctive cry of pain, she just sat there with her arms covered and her eyes wide open, not moving for a long time.
……
“…What’s going on?”
After a long time, Lilith's confused murmurs finally echoed in the room.
Was that what Zephirion had been talking about, the past life? Was she remembering it? But, but...
The perspective doesn't seem right!
In the dream, she was very tall and could see the back of everyone's head and easily touch the tender leaves on the treetops. She had never experienced such a perspective before.
She even saw a figure called Lilith in her dream, and she even talked to her. Now that she had woken up and thought about it again, she, she was in the dream -
Fustwin!
Lilith was startled.
No! This wasn't her memory! It was Fustwen's memory! But why did the White Dragon Lady's memory appear in her mind? Lilith was completely stunned, unable to recover for a long time.
Dreams are always remembered most clearly when one just wakes up. After Lilith finished washing and changing her clothes, she could no longer recall many details of the dream. Only the huge, movable tree with a human face was still clear.
Oak Guard? Lilith had only seen it from a distance once, at the Academy Cup. She'd heard the dwarves had made a mistake, illegally bringing it from the elves, only appearing once before hastily taking it back.
In the dream, it looked gentle and friendly, yet so tall, a truly remarkable creature.
Lilith thought of that thing and simply went downstairs to the dormitory to take a look at the seeds left by the two elves. Lilith casually stuffed them into the soft soil beside the wall. In a short period of time, they had grown to half the length of their arms. But when they wanted to continue growing, they were discovered by the vampire vines next to them and entangled with them. Now they were tied up and unable to stretch out. It was probably difficult for them to survive.
Lilith squatted there, helping them to break free from the vampire vines little by little, and then she chanted an elven spell. A green light shone, and the two oak seedlings came to life again, shaking their branches and climbing up little by little, growing into the shape of saplings.
The rapid growth process of plants is so magical every time you watch it, it makes people unable to take their eyes off it. Lilith touched the tender green branches and leaves at the top of the sapling and was stunned again.
Another half month had passed, and Zephirion was still listening to her advice. Except for the weekend open day, she had never encountered his sinister gaze from the dark again. She had finally pulled this black dragon back to the right path from being a damp man.
He and his companions also got along quite well... uh, harmoniously? At first, that guy was extremely arrogant. When he was found to be a holy war hero, he even lowered his chin to the sky in the admiring eyes of everyone.
"Perhaps you can share with us some experience in fighting the void, Lord Zephirion?" Until Catherine, because she was worried about the coastline, she bravely asked him for advice.
As a result, Zephirion was silent for a long time, and slowly lowered his chin which was tilted to the sky.
"...No experience." He answered stiffly, earning everyone surprised looks.
Since then, Black Dragon has been much more honest. Although he still keeps people at a distance and makes discriminatory remarks at every turn, no one can afford to offend him and respects his identity as a hero of the jihad, so no conflicts have broken out.
In Lilith's opinion, everyone gets along really well!
She couldn't help but curl her lips, but at this moment she heard a burst of lively laughter. Lilith raised her head and looked at the door of the dormitory building, and saw Winnie with a happy face. She walked and adjusted her clothes with the little sister next to her. They were all dressed up.
"Beautiful ladies, where are you going? Isn't it still early for the ball?" Lilith squatted beside the sapling and greeted them with a smile.
"Good morning, Lilith!" Winnie turned around and smiled when she saw Lilith. She lifted her skirt and spun around to show Lilith happily, "The High Garden has been unsealed!"
Lilith nodded in understanding. High Court had been sealed off for nearly a month, and today the king finally allowed the city gates to be opened and the curfew to be lifted. These noble ladies had not been to the capital for a long time, and had complained during class breaks about not having bought new clothes and perfumes for a long time, so they were naturally very happy to hear the news.
Eh? Does that mean the Vatican and the King have given up on hunting them down, and she can leave the school now?
