[Windless] Mountain and sea

The dream is like a huge maze, dark and muddy, with no end.He stumbled through it, walked for an unknown distance, and suddenly heard the light sound of the breeze blowing through the treetops, the pecking sound of the burning bonfire, the fresh smell of the grass and the smell of the moist soil...these subtle sounds Pulling him with the smell, he floated up from the abyss of nothingness to the ocean of consciousness little by little.

Feng Xi slowly opened his eyes, the night was already deep, with a dense canopy above his head, he was lying on the soft fallen leaves in the forest, with a blanket covering his body.Not far from him, there was a bonfire burning in the cleared space, and Wu Wu sat cross-legged beside him: "Are you awake?"

Feng Xi hardly had the strength to speak, and just pressed the ground trying to get up.However, the last fight had already exhausted his last physical strength, and the two penetrating wounds were located in the chest and abdomen, and the pain would be excruciating if he exerted a little force.Halfway through the breath of the wind, he was already dripping with cold sweat. Seeing that he was holding on and refusing to show weakness, Wu Zhi frowned slightly.

The two iron plates hung up, but stopped in mid-air.Unlimited hesitated for a while, and finally stepped forward to help the other party up, and sat firmly against the tree trunk behind him: "It is my responsibility to hurt you, sorry."

"No need... I did it myself."

Feng Xi responded casually, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Wu Wuping holding a cup almost under his nose: "Water."

He took it and drank it, and a few wild fruits were handed to him, the skin was wiped clean: "Fruit."

Infinite's actions and reactions were somewhat abnormal, but Feng Xi didn't have the extra energy to think about these at the moment, so he just reached out and took it.After eating the sweet and sour fruit, he felt that he had finally regained some strength. When he looked up, he saw that the other party was still staring at him, so he asked, "How long have I been in a coma?"

"day and a half."

"This is where?"

"Chuanyang is written on the sign."

"It's so far... Did you come here by car?"

"It flew over."

Feng Xi was stunned for a moment, then smiled weakly: "I remember...the regulations of the guild hall, flying over the mainland is prohibited."

Infinity seemed to choke for a moment, and when he spoke again, his face was still expressionless: "I will go back and write the report."

"Those poachers...how will they be punished for killing the goblin?"

Unlimited was silent for a moment: "Poaching is also a serious crime."

"What if they didn't poach, but just killed the goblin?" Feng Xi looked up at Infinity, with the corners of his mouth upturned, but his expression didn't look like he was smiling, "In the end, they won't be punished for hurting the goblin—this is The balance the guild wants?"

Unlimited met his gaze without hesitation: "The club has its own way of handling it."

"Really deal with it?"

"In your opinion, the guild hall exists only to provide funds for goblins?"

"Of course not." Feng Xi snorted, "I thought the Guild Hall existed to help humans hunt down uncooperative goblins."

"Fengxi, you should go to the guild hall to have a look." Infinite seemed to hesitate a bit, but finally said, "There are now... the homes of many goblins."

As expected, he didn't wait for an answer.

Feng Xi leaned under the tree and began to adjust his breath to heal his injuries.The familiar wood-type spiritual matter filled the air, and the huge and terrifying wound on the big monster began to grow and heal at a speed that humans could not match.When he opened his eyes again, it was already getting brighter.In the faint morning light, there was a thin mist slowly passing through the gaps in the branches and leaves. A few translucent spirits landed on his shoulders and knees at some point, and were turned into scattered light spots again when touched by his fingertips.

"Is it better?" Infinity stretched out his hand to press his pulse, "Eat something later."

Feng Xi let out a "hmm", his injuries have recovered a lot, and he is really hungry now.Unlimited used a stick to light up the weak bonfire, and filled in a few more pieces of wood.When the sun rose and some early birds fluttered their wings and flew past their heads, two iron pieces flew into the flock without a sound and captured two of them back.

Previously, the two had always defaulted to cooking with Fengxi, but now that he was seriously injured, they switched to Unlimited cooking.Feng Xi watched him manipulate the iron plate to pluck the bird's feathers and let the blood out. Although the movements were rusty, they were quite neat.

The golden-red rays of the morning sun pass through the treetops and fall in bunches in the forest.Feng Xi moved his eyes away from Infinite, looked at the lush green in front of him, and murmured: "Chuanyang... there is such a big forest."

"It was planted by humans." Unlimited was threading the treated birds with branches, and raised his head when he heard this, "It has been decades since the farmland was returned to forests."

It was only then that Feng Xi noticed that although the branches of the trees had stretched out in all directions, and the open space in the forest had been basically filled with short shrubs and weeds, the whole was basically in rows.

He raised his hand in a daze, and pressed down on the tree trunk under him. The wood elf's innate perception of plants and trees immediately spread along the interlaced root system buried deep in the ground.He saw the endless mountains and forests, like the waves between the mountains; he heard the long wind blowing the branches and leaves, and the vines sprouting new buds; there are countless newborn spirits jumping and spinning among the grass leaves-but this is really a man-made forest , but almost erased all traces of "humanity", even he didn't notice it for a while.

"why?"

Feng Xi suddenly asked a question, looked at his expression infinitely, and said: "Destruction and plunder cannot bring long-term development... As I said, human beings are different now."

"Soil erosion, desertification of cultivated land... I've heard of some." Feng Xi put his palm on the ground, and a young sapling slowly emerged from the soil. Change, what does it have to do with goblins?"

"You should feel that many trees in this forest can't grow in a few decades. There are goblins who have helped them—or in other words, goblins have been born here."

Feng Xi looked at the young tree, and let out a short laugh: "Should I say 'thank you'? Thank you humans for taking the blame for themselves, and finally giving up a corner for the goblins?"

"Nature breeds all things and does not belong to any particular race." Shaking his head infinitely, "Neither humans nor elves can pretend to be the masters of nature."

"Even if—the goblin has lived in the forest for hundreds of thousands of years?" Feng Xi almost couldn't hold back his emotions at that moment, he took a deep breath, almost gritted his teeth and said, "Master Infinity, in your opinion, What is the difference between humans invading the forest of elves and elves attacking human cities?"

This time, Infinity was silent for a long time: "There is no difference." He lowered his eyes, "...Sorry."

"Master Unlimited, I can't bear it." Feng Xi didn't look at him, and the expression on the face covered by the forehead hair couldn't be seen clearly, "You can't represent humans, and I can't represent elves."

Neither party spoke again until the roasting birds on the bonfire gave off bursts of burnt aroma.Unlimited then picked up a bunch and handed it over, saying: "Let's eat first."

Feng Xi reached out to take it, only took a bite, then closed his eyes in pain: "...Infinity."

"Ok?"

"If you want to kill me, you can do it directly, there is no need to poison."

"..."
