Chapter 82: Dead Tree Revives in Spring 01

In the distant past, the Great Compassionate Tree King used his singing to awaken the ancient tree "King of Awakening Tree" sleeping in the desert. The intelligent King of Awakening Tree followed the Great Compassionate Tree King's advice and gave birth to several large and full pomegranates. When the fruit fell from the branch, the seeds inside turned into elves that traveled through the forest.

——Lanna was born.

They are followers of the Grass God and children of the forest. They look like seeds with limbs and leaves or flowers of varying sizes on their heads. They possess various abilities and help humans fight against the dead zone and live in harmony with the forest.

"So, 'Nara' is their general name for humans," Hoshino looked at Lanaro running around the house excitedly on his two short legs, "Do they have their own names?"

【Why not ask yourself?】 Nashida said, 【Communication is the first step in building a bridge.】

Xingye Wang nodded, hugged Lanaro, and held him up with his hands under his arms: "Do you have a name?"

"Yes!" Lanaro patted himself, "Lanzaca! Lanzaca who is especially good at cooking!"

Xingye Wang asked doubtfully: "Cooking?"

Lanaro also needs to eat? What should he eat?

"Yes, cooking!"

Lansaka kicked his legs hard and slipped away from Xingye Wang's arms, rushing into the kitchen while shouting "I want to make Lady Nashida taste happy."

A few seconds later, the flower on Lanaro's head appeared from the door frame, and Lansaka's depressed voice came from behind the door: "Lord Nashida."

"What's wrong?"

"Nara's things are too big to hold a spoon."

Xing Yewang: "I'll do it."

It's just a small matter.

Hoshino Nozomi walked into the kitchen confidently, raised her hands...but couldn't reach them.

Put your feet on the ground, raise your hands... No.

Charge up... jump! Reach out - still can't reach.

Hoshino Wang stared at the spoon hanging on the wall and used elemental power to float up. This time he finally got the spoon, but a new problem arose - he needed to stand on a stool to swing the spoon and cut vegetables normally, but there was no low stool for him to stand on in the safe house.

Jump up? Sure. Unfortunately, no one in their right mind would squat on a countertop to cook.

Using elemental power to maintain the floating state... Although it is troublesome, it is not impossible. Just as I was thinking, the system spoke after a long delay: [Host, have you forgotten that there is only fast food in the refrigerator? There are no vegetables or seasonings here. ]

Except for the time when she played Wendy, Hoshino Nozomi rarely went back to the safe house, so she naturally didn't buy daily necessities for it as carefully as she would for her home. Even the kitchen utensils in her hands were brought by the safe house.

Xingye looked at the spoon, then at Lanzaka, and said seriously, "Give it up."

Lanzaca's charcoal-like mouth suddenly turned down: "Lady Nashida can lift Nala's spoon, but she can't reach the stove. I can't let Lady Nashida taste the happiness. I'm so sad."

Xing Yewang: “…”

Hoshino Moto: [If I temporarily remove the character card...]

System: [Lannalo will disappear together. They were not really summoned to the other world, but were just projections.]

There was nothing that could be done. Hoshino Mochi turned to ask about the whereabouts of the Drafting God.

The system said: [Lord Buyer went back to sleep first.]

【Sleeping?】

[In order to prevent the forbidden knowledge from causing a backlash against the World Tree due to the Great Compassion Tree King's memory, Lord Buyer will reduce the activity time of the main body before finding a way to extract the memory. ]

Lansaka didn't know they were talking. Seeing that Xingye Wang hadn't spoken for a long time, she thought he was sad too. Lansaka grabbed his hand and shook it: "Don't be sad, let's go outside and find a suitable place. Lansaka will definitely make Lady Nashida happy!"

Hoshino Momo came to his senses and asked, "What does happiness taste like?"

The brown leaves above Lanzaca's head shook: "The taste of happiness is white, as fine as sand, it will break into pieces if touched."

Hoshino Nozomi: "Salt? Or sugar?"

Lanzaca didn't understand what he was saying. Although they could use human language, they couldn't communicate fluently.

"It's sugar," the system explained. "Lannaro doesn't like the taste of salt and thinks it will make plants wither."

Whether it's plain old sugar or more complex candies, it's easy to get.

Xingye Wang held Lanna Luo's hand and said, "Then let's go to the commercial street."

Lansaka: "Okay! Lady Nashida, let's go!"

*

A street somewhere in Yokohama.

When he left, Lanzaca was very heroic and confident, but when he really left the safe house, he retreated into Nashida's arms after only two steps.

"So many, so many Nala..." Lanzaka said with his back to the pedestrians outside, "So tall, so scary... Why are there so many Nala here..."

It tried to block itself completely, but Nashida was so small that she could only barely wrap her arms around it.

After Lansaka realized this, he wanted to hide behind her again.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," Narcida pulled Lanzakara out, "Look, these are just ordinary adults, they can't see you."

Lanzarote finally calmed down a little.

In the continent of Teyvat, only children and some adults blessed by the forest can see Lanaro. After system improvements, in this world only people with special abilities - such as psychics and sorcerers - can see them.

Lanaro were not afraid of humans at first, but over the long course of history, their contacts with humans became less and less, and the relationship was no longer close. In addition, the differences and complexities of individual humans have caused Lanaro to be generally wary of strangers.

"Not all Nala are bad Nala, just like not all flying insects will eat fruits." Nashida patted the small flower on Lansaka's head and comforted her.

After speaking such a long string of words and standing in the sun for too long, Nashida was a little out of breath for a moment.

System: [Host, go straight for 50 meters and turn left. There is a dessert shop with free umbrellas, tables and chairs outside.]

Narcita responded softly.

Lansaka was very sensitive to air, but unfortunately it couldn't lift Nashida, so it could only anxiously rotate the two brown leaves above its head, bringing a slight breeze to the weak god as it flew.

"Thank you, Lansaka, you are so thoughtful." Nashida smiled.

She took a deep breath, walked to the position indicated by the system and sat down, then looked at her character card panel in the coolness brought by the shadow.

Name: Boyer/Nashida

Gender: Female

Identity: Grass God (Little Auspicious Grass King)

Strength: 35 (When you clench your fist and smash the villain hard, there will be one person who is unharmed. Guess who it is?)

Constitution: 21 (Good news: You don't have any diseases. Bad news: Even so, you are far from healthy)

Agility: 48 (You always look at your poor long-distance running results and swear to yourself: I will do it next time!)

Appearance: 83 (If you use this face to act cute, you will be so adorable. Yes, cuteness is also a weapon! Cuteness is justice!)

Intelligence/Inspiration: 85 (smart, quick thinking)

Willpower: 67 (You have a strong willpower that helps you get through lonely nights)

Luck: 75 (May good luck always be with you)

...In short, it's worse than ever.

Just like her stats, she has no obvious flaws, she is just very, very weak. But at critical moments, this weakness can be fatal... especially in battle. I'm afraid she will have to rely on Lanaro for most of the time.

Nashida wanted to sigh, but she saw Lanzaca's raised mouth. This magical little guy had a lot of mood swings, and everything was written on his face, but it only took a few seconds for him to forget all the bad moods and be happy again.

They have an optimism that is hard for humans to achieve, and it seems that nothing can defeat them.

"Lady Nashida?"

"It's okay, let's take a break and then go find Happy Taste, okay? I think this store has what you want."

Lanzaka shook his body happily and looked around during the break.

After a moment, it said, "Lady Nashida, there is not only Big Nala here, but also Little Nala."

Nashida looked over and saw several street thugs dressed in a stereotypical way surrounding a little girl. The thugs kept approaching, and the girl kept backing away in fear.

"Little Nala is so beautiful, she is dressed like a red rose and her hair is like the golden sun!" Lansaka said happily, "Are they playing games?"

Nashida: "..."

No, they are not playing games.

From a common sense perspective, no gangster would want to play this game with the daughter of the port Mafia leader.

In an instant, she thought of the future deaths of countless gangsters - including but not limited to sinking into the sea and pouring cement walls.

Nashida: [Conducting an audit.]

【Listen and judge, succeed. 】
