Chapter 1100 Afternoon Tea in the Forest
…
"She...really said that at that time?" After listening to Ye Zi's narration, Wendy burst out laughing, "What about the child named Snake Ya? Isn't there any other expression?"
"I was just giggling along with her," Ye Zi shook his head, "It's probably not easy to muster up the courage to say that. It took just one time to exhaust all the courage."
"I think so," the smile on Wendy's face widened, "It's great to be young..."
"Is it okay for us to do this? Secretly eavesdropping on the little sisters' conversation." The green phantom of leaves fell from the branches and condensed into its own form.
"This is not eavesdropping, but fulfilling His Majesty's instructions." Wendy said righteously, "He asked me to pay a little attention to the actions of the two of them - since I have to pay attention, then talking is also part of it, isn't it?"
That being said, it seems that there is really no problem.
"Besides, wouldn't you eavesdrop on their conversation without my request?" Wendy looked at Ye Zi with a smile.
"Uh-" The latter cleared his throat and raised the corners of his mouth, "Yes."
The two immediately looked at each other and laughed.
Ye Ye beckoned, and a huge vine rose from the ground, carrying himself and Wendy slowly to the top of the tree crown. Then the densely packed branches spread out, intertwined, and reunited, forming a terrace of green leaves beneath me.
Viewed from this angle, the world suddenly became much brighter. The dense forest spreading towards the Dragon's Back Mountain Range was like a sea of emerald trees, while on the other side was the vast expanse of prairie.
When he was still in the mutual aid club, Ye Zi would occasionally build similar treehouses to protect his sisters from heavy rains and the muddy and wet ground. It's just that at that time, it often took a long time to build a resting place, and in order to save magic power as much as possible, the room was as sparse as possible, basically shaped like a cicada cocoon. Even so, there's not room for everyone.
But now, the leafy terrace not only looks stylish, but also has deck chairs and coffee tables. There were even two broad-leaf cups on the coffee table, the light golden flower dew contained inside sparkling in the sunlight.
"Did you brew this yourself?" Wendy picked up the tea cup and sniffed it gently, and a light and elegant fragrance passed into her nose.
"Well, it uses morning dew, honey and sugarcane wine, and also adds some half-opened jasmine buds," Ye Zi nodded, "Although it's not as good as Chaos Drink, it's better than drinking as much as you want."
"Your ability is really getting stronger and stronger," Wendy sighed with emotion. "Although they all say that Her Highness Anna is a genius that is not seen in a century, I don't think you are much worse than her. As long as you give it long enough... you say It may be possible to control all the jungles in the world and spread consciousness to every corner of the continent."
"At the current speed, it will definitely not be possible," Ye Zi smiled and waved his hand, "Just integrating this hidden forest will take nearly ten years. By the time I can leave here, I will have already old."
"That's not necessarily the case," Wendy took a sip of the tea in her cup. "Agatha said that the influence between witches and magic is mutual. The more powerful the witch is, the stronger the body and the longer the life. lifespan. If the war hadn't been too cruel, those extraordinary ones might still be alive now." She looked up at the sky, "And your magic power is even greater than theirs, which means that you may be the longest surviving among us. The one who lasted a long time.”
Ye Zi did not answer, but showed a lonely look, but Wendy did not notice it.
"By the way, not only these two points, but also the appearance is related to the level of magic power." She paused for a moment, "The legendary Queen of Meteorite Akalis has conquered the country, and even Pasha and the others have personally admitted this. "Wendy withdrew her gaze and looked at the other person carefully for a moment, "Well - I do feel that you are a little different from before... How should I put it, the moment you came down from the shade of the tree, you were like a fairy in the forest, It’s really enviable.”
Ye Zi gave her a helpless look, "This is not what the gentle and caring Wendy would say."
"Who knows, maybe I didn't have the time to consider such a problem before, right?" Wendy said with a smile, "In addition to gritting one's teeth and surviving, what magic can achieve, what it will become in the future, whether it is ugly or beautiful, are all just questions. Superfluous stuff.”
"Yes," Ye Zi curled his lips, "Now I'm starting to think about the impact of magic power on appearance. Could it be that... you also have someone you love in your heart?"
"These are two different things. And you're not much younger than me, right? Are you afraid of following in my footsteps?"
"Leaving aside the fact that "not much" is debatable, I already own a forest, what else is there to be dissatisfied about? But even if you don't tell me, I still have a way to know. I provide all Honey's animal messengers. "
"Unfortunately, as the head of the Witches Union, every report she reports must be reviewed by me first."
The two were teasing each other and enjoying the harmonious afternoon chat.
It wasn't until the sun gradually set that Ye Zi turned back to the topic, "So, are you leaving soon?"
"Well," Wendy stood up, "I have to send Princess Anna and the others back. The Seagull cannot fly at night, so it has to take off before four o'clock."
"It seems that Bai Zhi won't be able to spend the bonfire party with her friends."
Unlike other family members who visited by train, the little girl was transported directly to the front line by glider. The scheduled return flight could not be postponed for a day because of her, and she could not be left alone.
"There's nothing we can do about it," Wendy said, spreading her hands. "Whether it's for safety reasons or the needs of Neverwinter City, she can't spend too much time on the road."
"Let me call her for you," Ye Zi transformed into a spirit state again.
"Trouble."
The leaves penetrated into the trunk, and after a few breaths, they appeared in front of Wendy again.
"Okay, she will go to the landing field to meet you. She should be saying goodbye to her partners now. Let me take you there."
Wendy nodded, turned around and waited for the terrace to lower.
"that……"
Ye Zi suddenly said softly.
"What's wrong?"
"No," she hesitated, "It's nothing..."
Wendy exhaled, turned around and said softly, "If you have any ideas, don't keep them in your heart. I'm always willing to listen."
"I just have some..."
"Something?"
"Some -" Ye Zi clenched her fists and was about to open her mouth when she suddenly froze on the spot - her gaze went over Wendy's head and was fixed on the north of the forest.
Sensing the shock and surprise in her expression, Wendy couldn't help but follow her gaze.
I saw several strands of black smoke rising from the dense woods, like a slowly unfolding curtain.
Is this... a fire?
