She has a female body and proportions, and walks in a deliberately seductive manner. Unfortunately, her body is made of wood and winding vines. If she were to be called a human, it would actually look more like a vine forming a human shape.
"So, Lord Earl, what do you want to know from me?" The wood elf looked at Sean and asked.
Caitlin.
This was the name the other party gave her, and it was also said to be the name of the person who planted her tree that year.
"Is that your master? Sorry, it should be called keeper." After all, the other party was a large tree. Even though it was a living tree, it still needed to be nurtured from a sapling. So, it was understandable that someone had planted it.
Moreover, Sean felt that the other person's current appearance should be the same as the woman named Caitlin back then. The big tree should not have gender and she was just imitating someone she was familiar with.
"Yes. Catelyn brought me from my homeland in the north more than eighty years ago and planted me in this forest," said the wood elf.
north.
This is far north.
Having lived in this world for so long, Sean had gradually grown accustomed to the use of terms that lacked any indication of distance: South, North, etc. However, South could be Mersin, a coastal nation outside the Basaran Empire, and North could be another country, so simply referring to South and North could represent vast distances.
"So there are many wood elves like you in the north?"
"We wood elves are creatures born from this land. Our history is much longer and more ancient than that of humans," said Caitlin.
Sean was not interested in the so-called history of the wood elves.
Many people like to talk about history, but Sean has a cognition of two worlds, and his sense of belonging has always been weak. In his opinion, the present is the most important. It is not easy to live in the present. No matter how long the history of the wood elves is, the present is also the world of humans.
The wood elf in front of him seemed to see Sean's contempt for him.
She reached out and used the branches wrapped around her body to connect with the big tree next to her.
As if injected with life, the branches that had just been torn by the tentacles were now recovering rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, growing new buds and extending other branches.
"I know you have no interest in the history of the wood elves. To be honest, I don't know why you came back to find me. Since you don't want to know about the wood elves, why did you come to the forest to find me, and even use this kind of power to force me to show up?" asked the wood elf.
indeed.
When Sean was trapped in the other party's dream, he wanted to use the Eye of Ghroth to make the other party appear, or even suppress him.
As for why I came here, firstly, I felt that the imagination of Shanggu Town was very strange, and secondly, I was wondering if it was related to the believers of the ancient gods. After all, I didn’t have a good impression of the Tacoma area before. But now it seems that there should be no connection. Wood elves belong to another branch, and it is also an ancient life branch that humans rarely come into contact with.
"I thought you were another kind of creature, but now it seems not. I was wrong." Sean also admitted that he had overthought it.
"Another creature?"
The wood elf turned around, and her limbs made of wooden vines moved slightly.
"Your Excellency, no. Human, I want to remind you that you have been touching upon an extremely terrifying realm of power. Its history is even older than that of the wood elves. This kind of power is not something that humans should master." The wood elf did not point it out directly, but it was obviously talking about the power of the Eye of Ghroth!
“Power lies in the person who wields it.”
"Many people say this when they gain powerful strength, but the results for many people are not as good as they imagined." The wood elf's tone became more serious.
“There are many things that you simply cannot understand. When you wander around in your own little world, believing that the world still belongs to you, something extremely dark will slowly awaken.”
This was not the first person to remind himself of this. Frelia said the same thing when she first saw the power of the Eye of Ghroth.
but
Without the protection of this power, many things may not have a future.
"Thanks for the reminder," Sean said.
The favorability between the two is just neutral, at most it will go this far. It is impossible for them to follow him around like Frelia did, nagging him to give up using the Eye of Ghroth.
"But I have one last question."
"you say"
"Why do you want to spread your abilities in this small town? Just because the people of this town raised you, do you want to repay them?" Sean said finally.
More than eighty years ago, a woman named Caitlin brought back wood elf seeds from the north. That woman should have passed away by now. It was obvious that the wood elves had to grow for a period of time before they acquired the ability to use pollen to cause hallucinations.
"Because I want Caitlin to be able to continue her life in her dreams" the wood elf turned to look at Sean.
There was actually an expression under that wooden sculpture-like face, and a state of nostalgia appeared on the top of the head!
"I watched Caitlin grow up and grow old, from happiness to sadness. I hope that the people I care about can also be as simple and happy as us. It is common for people to be unable to get the love they want, but in their dreams, they can get everything."
“She is like this, and so am I.”
The wood elf didn't say anything else, but there was no need to say anything more.
This made Sean start to re-examine this ancient natural life in front of him!
