Chapter 1002: Father and daughter (1/2)
It is said that the outside plain is already in the season of heavy snow, and the Red Maple City and Boulder City in the west are all stained white by the snow.
Holding on to the railing of the terrace, Andesa slowly walked to the edge of the terrace. She stood on the heights of Solin Castle, looking out at the distant horizon.
It should have snowed in Winter Wolf Castle, right? There is also Changzhi Manor... Scholars predict that this year the northern part of the mainland will be colder overall, and this war... probably will bring a colder winter.
She raised her head, but could not see the snow falling from the sky. All she could see was the endless greenery, and the towns and outposts scattered among vines, tree crowns, blooming flowers and green grass, all kinds of artificial lights such as Stars flicker on the ground, and the dim areas between the lights are full of strange plants that emit fluorescence.
Unknown birds burrow through the canopy of the giant tree, or occasionally flutter across the sky, or fall boldly on the top of the castle tower and the mottled walls.
A faint sound came from around, and Andesa looked for her reputation and saw a small beast with bright red fluff and slightly larger than a squirrel climbing onto the terrace from nowhere. The little wild beast had a rose-red fruit in its mouth. After seeing Andesa, it actually lifted the fruit with its front paws and handed it forward and even wiped it with its paws.
Andesa froze for a moment. After facing the small beast for a few seconds, she hesitated to reach out and take the fruit. This is a kind of fruit she has never seen anywhere else. The bright red peel looks like a shiny surface. The gems are in general, and they exude a strange sweet smell, which looks very attractive.
She remembered the name of the fruit: Thorin Tree Fruit. It is the fruit of the giant Thorin tree, a unique "crop" in this area, and a food source for many cities in the eastern part of the Holy Spirit Plain. This may be the weirdest and most wonderful specialty she has ever heard of in her life, but under the Thorin tree that is like a miracle in itself, is there anything weird here that is unimaginable?
Andesa picked up the fruit and took a bite. While the sweet flesh stimulated the taste buds, a slightly faint voice suddenly came from the side: "I hope you like it. After all, I don't have much to entertain guests. "
Andesa looked for the source of the sound with surprise and curiosity, and then finally saw a small flower swaying in the wind near the brick wall where the little beast was resting. The faint and somewhat distorted sound came from the bud.
"Ms. Bertila," Andesa seriously greeted the bud with a weird mood, "Uh...Thank you for your hospitality."
This seemingly thin flower bud is actually an extension of the giant tree of Thorin, and what makes the sound through the bud is the will of the giant tree. Andesa didn't know much about this powerful life form. She only knew that everyone here, including her father, called her Ms. Bertila, a powerful ancient druid.
Thorin's giant tree is the final product of the divine disaster in Old Anzu. As a Typhon commander who has been paying attention to Anzu for many years, Of course Andesa has investigated this aspect, but her investigation is destined to not know too many details.
What kind of changes must humans with flesh and blood undergo to form this miracle that covers the entire region? What is the origin of this powerful Ms. Bertila? She was very curious about it, but she didn't know who to ask.
Maybe my father knows something, after all, all this is related to the dark sect that has disappeared in the long river of history...
The flower buds in the cracks of the wall tiles swayed, and a lot of small vines gradually gathered around, and finally a female figure was condensed in the flower vines. Bertila stood there, seeming to be looking carefully at Andesa's appearance, although There was no change in expression on her face, and her eyes looked dull and dull, but this look of looking up and down still made Andessa feel uncomfortable for a while.
"Excuse me..." She couldn't help breaking the silence, "Is something wrong with me?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't paid attention to Typhonians like you for a long time..." Bertila shook his head, "Especially after becoming a plant, it's harder for me to walk around at will."
Andesa didn’t know why this powerful ancient druid suddenly felt so emotional. She only felt that the other party was talking a little weird, and she lowered her eyelids without knowing how to answer: “Is that right... Then I’m a little embarrassed. I saw a Typhon like me who was embarrassed."
"Embarrassed? It’s not embarrassing to be injured on the battlefield. Compared to you, my posture is truly embarrassing." Bertila smiled and said something that Andesa didn’t understand. When she was about to ask something, she suddenly glanced at the direction of the terrace entrance, "Ah, it looks like someone is visiting you... Maybe I should avoid it."
Andesa wanted to stop the other party, but only had time to open her mouth. The woman in front of her suddenly turned into falling petals and vines, and quickly left the terrace. Andesa could only frown and looked back at the entrance to the terrace. Seeing his father there, he opened the door and walked towards him.
Once upon a time, this was a scene she could not even imagine in her dreams, but today she appears so naturally in front of her.
"Your body has just improved a bit, try not to move for too long," Bud looked at his daughter and couldn't help but said with concern, "How do you feel today?"
"A lot better," Andesa replied, "I will get up and move according to my physical strength."
After a simple question and answer, the father and daughter fell silent in unison, and there was an embarrassing silence on the terrace.
Facts have proved that after more than ten years of separation is not so easy to completely eliminate, especially after the two people have experienced too many things in the past ten years, and each has gone through an unimaginable life track. On the day that they first met, Andessa and Bud talked a lot about things, but since then, every time they meet, they will inevitably fall into this embarrassment. I don’t know what to say and what to ask. The latest situation of the inquiry became clear on the first day, and after that...they were two strangers.
But both father and daughter are working hard to change this.
"I was talking to Ms. Bertila just now," Andesa finally broke the silence after thinking hard for a long time, "She gave me this..."
She showed off the half-eaten fruit in her hand, but Bud took a look at it, but her face showed a weird look: "Has she recently started to like to give people fruit again... It's good, it's not a bad habit. But. Andesa, you still have to pay attention to it in weekdays, Bertila... It is best for you to have reservations when dealing with her."
"Why do you say that? You have a bad relationship with Ms. Bertila?" Andesa asked subconsciously.
