Magus Tech (Technological Wizard)

green.

After a long period of time, Li Cha's eyesight returned to normal, and then he saw a piece of verdant green - a rich verdant green.

The light blue "round mirror" portal disappeared behind him, and he appeared in a dense forest.

Looking around, you can see that there are tall and straight trees growing in the field of vision, each of which is tens of meters high, nearly a hundred meters high, scrambling to stab the sky and compete for the sun. And try to spread the branches around to seize the living space of other trees.

Looking at the feet, not far away is a carpet-like grassland, a little farther away there are stretches of shrubs, moss growing in the corners, and some vines are entwined around the trunks of trees, trying to climb up.

This gives people a feeling of vitality, but for some reason, Li Cha keenly feels a trace of aging from this vitality.

The air is filled with a faint damp and rotten smell, which comes from the accumulation of dead branches and leaves, which are thickly spread on the ground, making people feel soft, like stepping on cotton.

"Shushasha..."

Li Cha walked among the trees, carefully observing everything, trying to get as much information as possible, so as to understand this strange plane.

This is in the center of a large forest in a strange plane? Or... the forest has already covered this strange plane?

From a logical point of view, if the productivity of a plane is high enough, then the forest area will be relatively small, because the intelligent life of this plane needs more space for production and development, prompting them to develop the forest. On the contrary, if the productivity of a plane is low enough, or once high but suffered some kind of blow, then the forest area will continue to expand, and it will gradually swallow up the habitats that lost intelligent life.

At the limit, if there is no intelligent life in the entire plane, it is not impossible for the forest to occupy the entire plane, or occupy most of the area of ​​the plane.

So... what's going on in this current plane?

Li Cha narrowed his eyes, chose a direction, and flew forward quickly.

...

After a few days.

Li Cha had already explored half of the entire plane during the flyby, and fell from the sky, frowning.

At this time, he was still in the forest, and there was no sign of reaching the edge of the forest. It was hard to believe that there would be such a large forest in the normal world. improve.

It is worth mentioning that after flying such a long distance, he noticed that the surrounding trees began to wither.

Like a lack of water or some kind of nutrient, the surface of the tree cracked finger-thin gaps, and fine sawdust continued to fall from the gaps. The rest of the surrounding plants were also affected, the grass turned gray, the bushes drooped, and the vines wrapped around the tree trunks were loose.

The faint smell of aging in the air was aggravated, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Looking at the entire forest, it is obviously full of vitality, but for some reason, it makes people feel lifeless.

Li Cha pursed his lips, thinking about what was going on in this plane, and what he was going to do next, when he suddenly heard a "swish" sound coming from a distance.

Turning his head to look, not long after, a petite figure of emerald green broke into the field of vision.

It was a little girl who looked no more than seven or eight years old, riding on a brown elk, holding the elk's antlers with both hands, and marching continuously in the forest. The little girl has bright green hair, and two ponytails are tied at the back of her head. Following the elk jumping over dead branches and bushes on the ground, she keeps shaking and swinging back and forth.

After walking for a while, the elk carried the little girl to a dry tree. The little girl grabbed the elk's antlers, slid off the elk that was a head taller than her, walked to the root of the tree, and pressed her hands on it.

Strange to say, I saw that as the little girl touched the tree with both hands, the dry tree recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye-the dry and cracked appearance healed, the yellow leaves turned green, and the branches became tall and straight-the surrounding grass, shrubs, The vines also became normal.

but one minute,

A small area returned to what it once was.

The aging breath in the air suddenly disappeared, and at this moment Li Cha saw the little girl walking towards another tree.

"Yo Yo~"

The elk barked.

The little girl was a little puzzled, she first looked at the elk, and then she noticed something, and turned her head to look at Li Cha.

The moment she saw Li Cha, the little girl was obviously stunned for a moment, then her eyes brightened, showing a bit of surprise, and she was about to run over without any precautions.

After running for a few steps, I realized something was wrong, stopped slowly, looked over to Li Cha, and greeted Li Cha in a somewhat unskilled manner: "You...how are you?"

It's 'Baluku' language, a popular language of ancient wizard civilization... After hearing the little girl's voice, Li Cha turned his thoughts, and quickly switched to 'Baruku' language, nodded, and said to the little girl Response: "Hello."

"Are you from another world?" The little girl looked over and asked very directly, without any detours or cover-ups.

"Yes." Li Cha replied with a nod. He was also willing to have such a direct communication, so he said to the little girl, "Because I came from another world, so I am very unfamiliar with your world. I want to know more about your world. Can you introduce me?"

"Introduction?" The little girl listened, as if recalling the meaning of the word, and said after a few seconds, "I can introduce to you... but there is nothing to introduce - what you see is what the world looks like , the rest of the place is the same, but the me you see is the only person in this world."

The world is like this? You are the only person in this world... Li Cha raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then his heart sank... Some of his guesses have been confirmed. The current plane is indeed a plane of decay, and it is a plane of decline. A plane that has declined to the extreme... The traces of the ancient wizard civilization have been completely erased and turned into a primitive plane.

The little girl didn't know what Li Cha was thinking, and continued: "Actually, I was not alone before, and there was my mother. But my mother passed away not long after giving birth to me. Since then, I have followed my mother's words to take care of the world. The forest to the present. My mother once told me not to be afraid after losing her, because one day people from other worlds will come to help me and take care of the forest with me.”

"So..." At the end, the little girl looked over with a pair of big eyes, and asked Li Cha seriously, "Excuse me... are you the one who came to help me take care of the forest?"

"Take care of the forest?" Li Cha gave a wry smile, "I'm afraid I can't, at least not now - I have other important things to do."

"Other important things?" The little girl was puzzled and couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time. "Could it be that besides taking care of the forest, there are other things?"

"Of course there is."

"Okay... then... if you finish other things, can you come back and help me take care of the forest?"

"If you have time, of course. But now, I hope you can tell me, is there anything special, different, or dangerous in this world?" Li Cha asked aloud.

According to his thinking, since there is no trace of ancient wizard civilization in this world, there is no point in staying any longer. His purpose is to go to the local plane of the ancient wizard civilization and the plane swallowed by white light, so he needs to get the jump point from this plane to the next plane, and continue to jump to achieve it.

How many more jumps will be needed to reach the destination, he can't be sure, but he has to try.

The little girl opened her eyes wide and looked at Li Cha for a long time. In the end, she did not refuse Li Cha's request. She stretched out her hand and pointed in one direction, saying, "If you are looking for a special place...go straight ahead from here, the trees It will wither more and more, until a place where all the trees are withered, you will see a black hill. My mother told me not to get close to it. I don’t know if it is the place you are looking for, but you can go and have a look .

By the way, this is for you. It was left by my mother to bless me. I will leave it to you to bless you now, so that when you see it, you will think of me and remember to come back and take care of the forest with me. "

At the end, the little girl handed Li Cha a pointed silver leaf. The texture of the leaf was a bit hard, as if made of metal.

Li Cha pursed his lips, after all, he did not refuse the little girl's kindness, took the silver leaf and said, "Okay, thank you, by the way, what's your name?"

"Green Xi." The little girl said.

"Lv Xi... Lu Xi, we'll meet again when we have a chance." Li Cha said, waved his hand, turned around without any further hesitation, and quickly flew towards the direction the little girl pointed, before disappearing from the little girl's sight.

The little girl stared blankly for a while before she looked away. She was not in a very high mood, but she didn't know why, because no one had ever taught her what disappointment was.

She didn't lie, she has lived alone since her mother died when she was very young. This made her have no clear concept of many things, such as time, distance, and even the ability to distinguish between good and evil.

If there is no accident, she will live in such a ignorant way until people from other worlds break in and change her, or die alone as the last person in this world.

Today, she was lucky to meet someone from another world, but unfortunately, she separated soon after meeting.

She wasn't sure if she could really meet each other again, but she had no other choice. After all, she couldn't leave here. She had to follow her mother's advice and take care of the forest of this world...forever.

The little girl pursed her lips, stopped looking at the direction where Li Cha disappeared, and walked towards the dead tree on the side, and began to heal the "injured" tree with her natural special ability.

...

some time later.

Li Cha appeared on the black hilltop that Lu Xi mentioned. Not far in front of him was a light red "round mirror" that had just been activated by him and was nearly two meters high. one.

From this aspect, Lu Xi did not lie to him.

This made Li Cha feel a little bit emotional: It must be admitted that Luxi is an extremely innocent little girl. Because of lack of sufficient communication with outsiders, her intelligence may be more immature than her appearance, resulting in her lack of eloquence in her words and actions.

And some of Luxi's experience and ability to heal trees also made him very interested. If possible, he would like to stay and have more contact with the other party.

But he also knew what was the most important thing at the moment, so he could only tell the other party as he had told him—come back after finishing the important things.

I hope there will be such a day...

Thinking of this, Li Cha looked towards the opened light red space jump point.

Compared with the previous space jump point, this one is obviously smaller.

It stands to reason that there may be more than one jumping point in a plane, so if he is willing to spend time, he may be able to find a second, larger space jumping point outside the hill.

However, due to the lack of sufficient information, he doesn't know which plane the space jump point will lead to. Even if he knows, he can't be sure what the development of the plane he goes to will look like in a long time. decay.

In this case, there is actually not much difference between choosing a jumping point in space at random and choosing a jumping point carefully.

Then it is better to choose a space jump point at will.

It all depends on the probability.

Let's see what probability makes his next plane look like.

bring it on!

Li Cha straightened his expression and stepped into the space jump point.

The space point fluctuated, Li Cha disappeared, and the world became quiet again
