Chapter 69: Fiery Maple Forest
After spending a busy time in Solander, Lorraine Hill finally flew towards the courtyard in his memory.
Passing through the vast land of Cranthia, climbing over the mountains and forests of Tisilan, and finally arriving at the familiar red maple garden.
Although autumn has not arrived, the scenery here is still full of fiery red. The sun shines through the light red maple leaves, dyeing the world into a crimson warm color. Under each red maple tree, there are layers of fallen leaves that have accumulated over time, turning the earth It reflects the same color as the sky.
Walking among the maple trees, you can clearly hear the sound of the curled dead leaves breaking under your feet. You brush your fingers over the tree trunks nearby. The brown-black bark is like ravines and canyons. It is hard and rough, and you can't help but hear the cracks. of rock.
Looking at the little bit of blue sky exposed among the maple leaves, a burst of bird song came from an unknown distance, adding a bit of tranquility and vitality to the place.
"Is this where Sister Luolan lives?" Ye Ling and Luolan Hill were walking in the maple leaf forest, looking left and right from time to time.
"Yes, I lived here for a long time before, and I didn't go to Hopeland until later, Emenas." Lorran Hill stopped, put the vine box at hand on the ground, and opened it.
Chirp, chirp~
Two birds flew out of the vine box one after another, chirping curiously and jumping onto the branches.
During the time when Lorranthil and Eidolon were returning, they often stayed in the box, which saved them a lot of trouble. Maybe passers-by would think that the girl’s box contains clothes and accessories, but in fact, Lorraine Hill’s clothes are all placed in the storage space. Only living things that are not suitable for storage are left here to breathe. in a vine box.
Watching the two birds flying happily in the forest and chirping from time to time, Lorraine Hill also felt a lot happy and relaxed.
Even though a kind of maid in the Red Palm Palace took good care of her and Ye Ling, she still yearned for this unrestrained life.
"Let's go." Lorraine Hill climbed onto a rock in the forest and waved to the Eidolon behind him.
"Here I am~" Ye Ling trotted over with a soft whir, jumped slightly, and then landed next to the girl, smiling happily.
After turning several corners surrounded by red maples, and walking through the forest for a while, the two of them walked out from behind a boulder, and a vast and beautiful world appeared in front of them.
A sea of gorgeous red flowers is spread all over the open space, with pale golden stamens exposed among the slender petals, swaying in the breeze. In this sea of flowers, a towering tree with a diameter of more than 50 meters stands quietly. From time to time, some red leaves fall from the fiery red trees in the distant sky and spread over this quiet world.
Looking across the sea of flowers in front of the giant tree, a small dome hut vaguely emerged. Compared to the towering giant tree behind it, this cabin is so small, yet so peaceful, with a mysterious and remote aura.
Bypassing this sea of blooming flowers, Lorraine Hill led Eidolon towards the dusty hut. The gray stone path had long been submerged in weeds, and the closed door lock was also covered with a layer of dust.
Open the simple door lock, and with a soft click, the wooden door opens, revealing the scenery inside the cabin.
The colors of the furniture made of red maple and the wooden boards of the house blend seamlessly together, creating a harmonious beauty.
"A lot of dust has accumulated again." Regarding this, Lorraine Hill sighed softly.
"Want to clean up? Ye Ling can help." The little dragon lady behind volunteered.
"Well, let's get started." As they spoke, Lorraine Hill and Eidolon put down their simple salutes, and then they opened the doors and windows of the house. A gentle breeze flowed in, blowing continuously and taking away all kinds of dust. .
After the dust was almost gone, Eidolon took a bucket and fetched water from the well in front of the hut, and then washed the floor inside.
puff--
The water splashed out of the bucket and splashed on the wooden board, bringing with it a cold touch. Then the air flow in the air swirled and rotated, washing the ground, walls, and furniture, and finally flew out of the window.
The slightly damp house was not suitable for entering for the time being. When the ventilation was turned on, the two floated to the tall red maple trees and sat on the trees to enjoy the cool air.
The wind passed through the body and feet, bringing a slightly cool touch. Lorraine Hill introduced the various facilities here to Eidolon.
"On the south side of this red maple forest, there is a river valley with a small river passing through it. You can usually go there to fetch water or fish. It seems good to soak in the water in summer. Anyway, the river is not deep and it is very cool."
"Okay." The little guy suddenly became happy when he heard that he could fish.
"I will make a small bed for you later. It turns out that the bed in the room is for Keti." When Lorraine Hill told the story, he suddenly missed Keti.
The two talked about various plans for staying in the forest, such as fishing, climbing mountains to enjoy the scenery, planting flowers and grass, looking for small animals, etc.
It is still the end of June, and Lorraine Hill is planning to accumulate strength during this period, and then go to Emenas in August, so that he can deal with various emergencies.
But before going, let’s ask Tidais. It's been so long since I returned to Crancia and I haven't informed her yet. I don't know if the phantom witch is still active or where she may have gone to sleep.
This is what witches are like. After spending a long time, the things they are interested in will gradually become less and less. Some witches will specialize in certain things and become addicted to them for hundreds of years. Some witches will lie down when they feel bored. Sleep in a secluded place for tens or hundreds of years, and then come out to see the new changes.
Therefore, although there are still many witches in this world, it is difficult for ordinary people to hear about them because the frequency of their appearance in the eyes of the world is too low.
The two of them were talking, Luo
Landseer thought of a familiar friend again.
"Tomorrow, I will take you to visit a friend."
"Hey, is there anyone else living here?" Ye Ling opened his eyes wide, and his two little legs dangling in the air stopped.
"She is a neighbor. She lives in the fog in the north... no, under the ice lake. She is a very beautiful elf."
"Moreover, she also planted many beautiful flowers by the lake. Then we will be able to see a very beautiful scenery."
"What kind of elf is that? I always feel that elf is quite mysterious."
"Well, how can I describe this well? It's probably like holding an icy blue umbrella, walking in your favorite field of wild flowers, admiring the blooming beauty, and thinking about the elf sister in the past." Lorraine Hill raised his finger. Under the chin, recall the image of the ice elf princess Eshegreen.
"As long as she doesn't trample her flower field, she should be easy to get along with."
"If you still have free time later, you can also go to the south and have a look. There seems to be a neighbor who has lived there for a long time. Unfortunately, I only heard about it from Red Maple Tree, but never visited him. I heard that he is a guy who likes flames and lava. "
"The red maple tree we are sitting on is alive. It has been a neighbor of these two for a long time."
"Great, it feels so interesting~ It is indeed the right choice to follow Luo Lan to the Western Continent, hahaha."
As he spoke, Ye Ling jumped down from the branch happily, with small dragon wings growing out of his back. He circled around the fiery red maple trees and let out a crisp laugh. And as the little dragon girl cheered, Lorraine Hill also felt a burst of joy and joy coming from the red maple trees, and the maple leaves and tree bodies among the big trees also gave off a shallow hazy halo in the evening.
In this light red-orange halo, the maple leaf garden in the forest is like a fairy land isolated from the world, dreamy and beautiful.
