Whispering Verse

Chapter 2922 Temperance and Obsession

Seeing this scene, Iluna was so surprised that she even forgot to breathe for a second. But soon she continued to move forward, and everyone was faced with a serious challenge: how to choose their position to achieve-

Don't be too far away from the blackboard to calm Shade's nerves;

Don’t stay too far away from the gods to avoid showing disrespect;

Don’t get too close to the gods to prevent your fragile self from being able to withstand the huge mental pressure;

The purpose of not being too far away from your companions who don't know which position they will choose at this time is to prevent yourself from appearing too obtrusive.

While the girls were busy thinking about where they should sit, Shade was still thinking about what to say. He glanced at Emilia. He actually knew a lot about elves, but what he had to consider was whether God had asked him to give lectures for other purposes, such as making Miss Metz realize what she really was.

"If you don't know what to say, I want to give you a hint."

The god in black robe said, Shade then made a gesture of asking for advice, and the god asked:

"What good qualities do you think you have?"

"Prudent and disciplined."

Shade replied, and the god smiled and nodded:

"So what good quality do you think you're missing?"

"this."

It is still somewhat difficult to answer one's own shortcomings. Foreigners carefully think about all the things they have experienced since coming to this world. He can help the weak, fight against evil, maintain a simple life even when he is rich, and will not become arrogant or even bully the weak because he becomes stronger.

But if there was anything else he thought he did wrong, it was probably his relationship with the girls. Although everyone said they didn't mind, Shade still felt that he owed them.

"Dedicated?"

Touching the little Mia in his pocket, Shade said tentatively. This time, before the god spoke, Iluna, who had just chosen a seat and sat down, immediately jumped up:

"This is a neutral word, it is not a beautiful quality!"

If Shade really promised the gods that he would be single-minded, then the eighteen-year-old balanced chosen one would be the first to refuse, because obviously the person Shade chose was definitely the purple-eyed soothsayer.

The dragon maid with her head shrunk at the side also simply understood the current status of Shade's love life from Iluna's words.

"Then pick another one."

God suggested, and Shade continued to think. He really thought that what he did poorly had to do with the girls, so he still had to choose in this matter.

Then the answer came out immediately. Shade did have an idea in mind about the choice of story. Dorothy and Lesia had been giving lectures for two months. Now that he understood what the core of the story was, he made a complete decision.

He raised his hand and let the bark of the World Tree float aside. The ability of [reading and writing] allowed him to use his mental power to leave the content of the story on the bark. He looked at the people in front of him, and everyone also looked at it. he:

"I will share with you a story about elves, a story about greed and temperance, and a story about the eternal crystal. So, are you ready?"

Seeing that the five girls all nodded, the first letter was engraved on the bark of the precious World Tree.

(Little Mia is running.)

The gray wolf walks freely through the forest, liberating its nature in a pure werewolf posture. This is actually her favorite thing, but it is just because of the way people look at her, so Sibel Bister rarely does this.

With a backpack on my back, I can only see the front. This seems to be an unfamiliar forest again, but it doesn't matter at all, because night will eventually fall and the moon will appear. Her journey always only has the front and the moon, and where she goes is unimportant.

Suddenly he heard a cry for help not far ahead, so the kind-hearted werewolf first changed back to his human form and made sure to hide his tail before approaching quickly. She quickly rescued the businesswoman who was being chased by the giant bear, and the beautiful businesswoman was next to the giant bear's body, wanting to give her a gift.

"No, I didn't save you for gifts. You were chased by that bear and you must have lost a lot of goods, right? Get out of here now. I heard that there is a kind-hearted elf tribe nearby. They can send you out of the forest. ”

Girl Gray Wolf kindly reminded her, but the businesswoman still wanted to give her a gift:

"You deserve this. It can help you see the moon better and appreciate its beauty better."

The businessman took out a pair of small crystal glasses. Under the dim light of the forest, they looked so beautiful and unusual. But the gray wolf was just stunned for a moment, and then angrily threw his glasses to the ground:

"I saved you, why did you come to insult me ​​instead? I want to pursue the moon just because it is there. Using foreign objects to let me see the moon, what is the difference between this and going to see an oil painting to appreciate the moon?"

The proud werewolf raised his head:

"My road has no end. The meaning of travel is just to move forward. What's the point of taking shortcuts? I will keep moving forward and keep looking at the moon. Until one day my soul falls into death, and the silver moon will still be there. Meet me at the front, and I will walk towards it with my head held high.”

After saying that, she walked away angrily. The businesswoman was not angry and stood there looking at her back:

"It looks like she has a deep obsession, but in fact there is nothing in her eyes. She is such an outstanding girl. She has not picked up anything, so she does not need to put it down."

(Little Mia is basking in the sun)

Emilia felt as if she had forgotten something, but it felt really good to walk freely through the forest.

She had forgotten how long it had been since she had run and hunted like this in the forest. Although the feeling of drawing a bow to hunt deer made her uncomfortable, this was how wild elves in the forest should be. She was not a modern civilization now. Elf.

Running on the trees in the forest as if flying, I suddenly heard a cry for help not far away. When Emilia came closer, she found a beautiful woman who was in a panic and was being chased by a wild bear.

So the elf bent his bow and shot an arrow, which shot through the bear's neck.

The giant bear fell suddenly, and the woman who fell because of fear was helped up by Emilia, and she claimed to thank Emilia:

"I am a businessman from outside the forest. You helped me, and I want to repay you."

She was wearing a cloak with a simple brown sarong underneath, and was carrying a cross-body backpack. The woman who claimed to be a businessman took out a crystal potion bottle that shone with seven colors from her bag:

"This is for you."

"Excuse me, what is this?"

Emilia did not refuse. She believed that she should be rewarded for saving people, so that others would be more willing to save people in the future.

"This is a potion that will make you stronger and more beautiful."

The beautiful businesswoman smiled and said:

"This way, the person you like can look at you more."

So Emilia left with the potion and used the potion after returning to the tribe's camp. She had indeed become stronger, taller and more mature.

The delighted elf went to the businessman the next day to express his gratitude, but the businesswoman who had not left the forest for some reason said seductively:

"I have more of this potion. If you want it, would you be willing to exchange it with me?"

Of course Emilia thinks that only by becoming stronger and more beautiful can she have the opportunity to compete with those beautiful witches:

"Can I change some more?"

The "greedy" elf then asked.

"Of course you can, but you'll have to pay more."

The beautiful businesswoman said with a smile, and Emilia nodded immediately:

"No problem. I'm going to bring one for my friends Agelina and Iluna, they will also like it very much."

The businesswoman was a little surprised. She shook her head and said:

"That's not okay. This is only for you to use. Isn't it good for you to use it alone and become stronger and more beautiful than your friends?"

Emilia pursed her lips, and finally shook her head apologetically:

"Then we won't trade. We are friends. I can't sneak away on my own."

After saying that, she walked away without looking back, leaving only the businessman looking at her back:

"Obviously she wanted more, but she pulled away because of friendship. She didn't know how to be restrained, but was bound by other chains. Although she picked up things, she could put them down easily, which is fine."

(Little Mia is eating.)

The green dragon maid was humming and picking mushrooms and collecting herbs in the forest, her wings flapping behind her without even touching the ground with her feet.

She met a businesswoman who was being chased by a giant bear, so she burned the bear with a breath of fire, and wondered if she could drag the bear's body back and cook a different meal for the teachers who were guests in the elf tribe. .

The businesswoman wants to repay her lifesaver:

"This is for you. It can make you smarter, be able to learn the knowledge taught by teachers faster, and allow you to master those powerful spells and secret techniques faster."

She handed Alfina Wilder a clover-shaped crystal brooch, and the dragon maid happily took it and thought it was beautiful.

So the next day, the Green Dragon Witch, who realized the power of this crystal brooch, found the businessman in the forest:

"Are there any other similar crystals I can get?"

"Of course, but it won't be free this time. You need to trade with me in exchange for what you want."

The transaction this time was to exchange a hare for a new crystal. When the two parted that day, the businesswoman also told the green dragon:

“I’ll be here every day and you can trade with me every day.”

The dragon maid then said regretfully:

"But I can't always be here. I must return to the academy."

"Then as long as you go back a few days later, you can get more crystals."

Miss Wilder hesitated for a moment, and finally shook her head and gave up:

"Although I want the teachers to see me become smarter and talented, I can't leave the academy for that long. I still have work to do making tea and preparing snacks. I won't trade anymore, and that's enough. "

After saying that, she made up her mind and left. The businessman looked at her with a smile from behind:

"There are enough desires, but responsibilities seem to be more important to her. It's not that she can put things down after picking them up, it's just that the responsibilities she holds in her hands are heavier for her."

Iluna no longer remembers when she came to the forest. It seems that because of the Vatican training, she was forced to temporarily live with the elves in this forest far away from the city, slowly waiting for the training time. Pass.

She rescued a businesswoman who was being chased by a giant bear in the forest, and the businesswoman gave her a gift:

"I know your secret."

The businessman smiled and said:

"Sun, right? Your extraordinary talent did not come out of thin air. The sun gave you great power, but obviously you are also worried about the future."

She gave Iluna a bright crystal. The crystal scattered the sun's rays and formed colorful colors:

"Take it with you, and time will stay on you for a while. You will grow slower than others, and things that will happen in the future will also be delayed for a long time."

Iluna soon discovered that the crystal was really useful, so she went to find the merchant again the next day to express her gratitude. The merchant who still did not leave the forest asked Iluna if she needed more crystals:

"Enough crystals can make time pass more slowly. It's just these eternal crystals that you need to pay."

"No problem, I can pay!"

So, Iluna first obtained new crystals at the expense of "hunting a wild boar", and then obtained more on the third day at the expense of "cutting down a small piece of forest land".

More and more crystals came into Iluna's hands as a result of the transaction, and she paid an increasing price for them. Those eternal crystals that could withstand the erosion of time, shone with charming light, and her greed and desire gradually blinded her eyes unknowingly, making her act more and more without scruples.

One day a long time later, on a night that no one can record, in order to obtain more crystals, Iluna was asked to sacrifice a soul. But this time, she refused:

"No, I won't do that."

"But you have done so much. Is it not worth it to give up now? All your previous efforts will be in vain."

The businesswoman said that Iluna suddenly remembered a term called "sunk cost" that Shade had said before for some reason, but she still shook her head:

"It's all in vain. I can't sacrifice others for myself, or at least in this case, it's not worth it."

Not only did she reject the merchant, she even threw away all the crystals she had obtained before:

"I can see that you are not a normal person, right? You are testing my heart, so I don't want any of this."

After saying that, she turned around and left. The businesswoman looked at her back and murmured:

"Even if the obsession is so deep, it can be withdrawn in time before it completely falls. Balanced gold, fate has indeed chosen the most correct person. But if you can let go of the sun this time, can you let go of the moon next time?"

(Little Mia is trying to transform.)

Shade was walking in the woods, and the businesswoman he rescued seemed particularly kind:

"I think you need this."

She gave Shade a beautiful crystal:

"This is the eternal crystal."

Shade said:

"But I don't pursue eternity, nor power, nor beauty."

As he said this, he wanted to turn around and leave, but the businesswoman stopped him:

"What about the girl?"

"Even if I don't have beautiful crystals, I can still woo girls."

The businesswoman smiled happily. When she saw Shade turning around to leave, she asked again:

"What about the moon?"

Shade turned to look at her, and the businesswoman continued:

"The moon and the sun are the most supreme existences in our world. But even moonlight can be sealed by eternal time."

Shade looked at the crystal in her hand:

"What's the meaning?"

"After the collapse of the original moon, part of the moon's remains turned into pure moonlight and was sealed in this crystal. If you don't believe it, soak the crystal in the water tonight and put your head in the water, you can You know if what I said is true.”

So that night, Shade threw the crystal into the pool behind the giant tree in the tribe of the elves where he was staying. And when he stretched his head into the water, what he saw was a light as bright as the silver moon in his dream.

So he found the businessman again in the forest early the next morning:

"You have more eternity crystals that contain the remains of the moon, right?"

The businessman smiled and said:

"Of course, why, the light of a piece of crystal is not enough, right?"

"I want more. More crystals to piece together more wreckage until I can... see her."

First, they hunted hares as trading commodities, and then cut down the thousand-year-old trees in the forest. The trading items that merchants need are different every day, but Shade can get what she asks for on time every day, even if it is a very cruel product.

So as the days passed, the reason for coming to the forest became no longer important, and leaving here was no longer important. Shade only knew that he had obtained more and more eternal crystals that sealed the moonlight.

And when those mountains of crystals were thrown into the water at night, the moon he saw in the water became more and more real. He had a hunch that maybe he could really synthesize a piece of the real remains of the original moon through this method.
