Landed Xumi: There is no problem with my numbers!

In addition, it also leaves time for you and me."

With a slight smile, the Tree King glanced at the little fellow beside him who was still pursuing perfection, and his tone was filled with emotion:

"—After hundreds of years of isolation, I'm pleased to see how well you understand human emotions."

"Perfection is great, but sometimes it is precisely because life is so limited that we cherish every precious emotion."

“Because of separation, we cherish reunion more; because of death, we cherish time more; because of sadness, laughter is more precious.”

"."

"So, are we destined to be unable to truly understand their emotions like humans because of our long lifespans and time?"

Somewhat confused by what the Tree King said, Nashida tilted her head, a hint of bewilderment in her tone.

"Do not."

“Departure, death, and sadness are not always negative, but they are also not worth pursuing or celebrating. If possible, I hope you never have to experience all of this.”

"—What I mean is that human life is as short as a firework, so we are forced to cherish every emotion in this limited time."

"But we are different. We are born with a lot of time, so we have more time than them."

“Please rest assured that a long time is not a negative thing, and there is no need to deliberately pursue the splendor that burns out everything.

Because for you and me, whether at the beginning or the end of the world, as long as we can find the person who is most worthy of company, we will always have enough time to love. "

Chapter 452 Nashida: I am so glad that we don’t have to go through a long separation

On the south side of Qingquan Town, next to the pond and waterfall.

The waterfall flowing down from the high mountains falls onto the rocky platform in the mountains with white spray, making a sound that is not noisy.

As the spring breeze blows, the pure water from the melted snow on the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain gradually loses its icy coldness under the warmth of the coastal scenery.

The ice and snow from far away human habitation came into the human world and turned into streams that nourished all things, just like the humans and elves who were separated before and finally gathered together again.

"."

Lin Feng tacitly moved away from the long-parted couple and came to a place far enough away despite Barbara's constant gaze.

He stood still, glanced at Barbara, who was blinking beside him, her face almost covered with the words "I'm curious", shook his head, and said:

"I know, Miss Barbara, you must have many questions in your mind, including the truth about the spring spirit, what Miss Kalilu looks like, and why you were able to find and bring back the correct target so quickly."

"But it's actually not that complicated."

"If you've read the fairy tales on Xumi, you might know that there are beings called 'Lanna' in this world. They are the helpers I mentioned earlier."

???

"Eh? Lanaro?"

"Although I seem to have heard Sister Lisa mention it, do the elves in fairy tales really exist?"

I never thought that this would be the answer.

Barbara recalled the Sumeru fairy tale she had heard from Lisa before, and suddenly understood why Lisa, who was not interested in children's books, would tell her such a thing.

"Of course they exist, but it's hard for people other than children to see them."

"As for Lisa, she's probably one of those people who's curious about the legend. It's not surprising that she's researched it."

Lin Feng did not forget the prop that Lisa made in the game to see the "imaginary friend". He thought that thing was likely to be able to see Lanaro, who only children could see.

"To put it simply, if you consider Miss Kalilu just now as an elemental spirit born from the water element, then Lanaro is a similar being born from plants and trees."

"From Mr. Finch's account, I learned that Miss Kalilu was in Qingquan Town to recuperate. Considering her condition, I'm sure she couldn't go too far, and most likely wouldn't want to.

So with the help of these friends following the water veins, it won’t be too difficult to find it.”

"."

"Well, it still feels amazing no matter how I put it. After all, just after I finished speaking, the person Grandpa Finch wanted to find was found."

"Being able to contact these mysterious elves, could it be that Mr. Lin Feng, your identity is actually..."

"Yes, it is somewhat similar to the rumors outside. I am actually..."

"—Ah! As expected! I knew you were a divine follower like Lady Vanessa!"

Lin Feng:.

Even at this point, is this the only thing we can guess?

Is it really useful to make your identity layered like an onion?

"Well, if I must say so, I can't be wrong. I have indeed received power from the gods."

He paused and realized that for Barbara, who had been reading scriptures in the church for many years, gods had become a symbolic existence different from humans, and even the gods' followers had become legends.

Lin Feng looked at the pastor in front of him, who had already guessed the identity of the priest as much as possible, but he still did not intend to break her beautiful fantasy about gods, especially the God of Wind.

"Speaking of which, where did Miss Nashida go? We were together just now, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"She was called away by another person to chat. It seemed like he had something to teach her, but I'm not sure what they were talking about."

Without peeking at what was happening over there, Lin Feng answered Barbara's questions truthfully.

"It still feels incredible. The gods' followers seem like legends, but I never thought I'd actually have the chance to see one."

"Because the gods' followers in the records are all heroes?"

"That's probably just because no one has recorded this aspect of their lives. Our living conditions are not much different from those of ordinary people."

"Besides, even gods can get extremely drunk and lie down with drunks on the street. They might even have parts of their brains that aren't working well, and from a human's perspective, they look like idiots."

"."

"Mr. Lin Feng, please don't joke. What god would lie down on the roadside drunk? Isn't this exactly like those guys who caused trouble for the Knights?"

"And how could a god be an idiot? It's impossible no matter how you think about it!"

Feeling that Lin Feng beside her was teasing her, Barbara puffed up her cheeks and cast a questioning look at him.

"Well, actually, most gods are quite reliable when they're doing their job. Just treat what I just said as an exception."

Lin Feng realized that Barbara beside him would never believe that the gods could be drunkards and fools. He sighed slightly and felt that the situation in Teyvat was a bit abstract.

Before I knew it, it was evening.

After Barbara returned to the church to help, she, along with the Tree King and Narcida, accepted the thanks from Carlyle and Old Finch.

Although judging by the results alone, asking Lanaro to help find someone this time didn't yield much except for being able to study the reproduction of people outside of Fontaine and pure water elves.

But Lin Feng looked at Nashida, whose mood seemed to have improved a lot, and those green cabbages who were ignorant but very happy to eat melons and watch the show, and felt that it would be better if there were a little more stories about lovers finally getting married.

"Speaking of which, what exactly did you call Nashida away to discuss? Is there anything else she needs you to teach her?"

After all, she is a five-hundred-year-old girl, and she surfs the Internet intensively every day. Although she still has some childish innocence, Lin Feng never doubts the breadth of Nashida's knowledge.

"Haha, are you curious? Then how about a guess?"

The Tree King, who looked identical to Nashida, tilted his head slightly, raised the corners of his mouth and blinked, taking full advantage of this posture.

"Forget it then. After all, no matter where it is, such things are unpredictable."

Lin Feng was extremely familiar with this kind of conversation style of digging a hole and waiting for someone to jump into it. He had no interest in playing "finding a needle in a haystack" with this little guy.

"That's a shame."

“No, I have no regrets at all.”

We chatted while walking slowly.

Looking at the sky, Lin Feng felt that it was time to meet up with the others. He recalled the previously agreed meeting place and found that the project there seemed to be called "Catching Foxes?"

To the northwest of Qingquan Town, there is a dense forest.

The setting sun in the evening gently shines on the earth, casting a layer of soft warm light on the lakes and plants in the distance.

At the edge of the forest, I received several woven wreaths from the staff nearby.

Lin Feng looked at the fanatical young people around him, and for a moment he didn't expect that "catching the fox" actually meant catching the fox.

"."

"Paimon, if I remember correctly, trapping foxes, putting wreaths on them, and then releasing them is something young people do to pray for the blessing of love, right?"

"If it were you, wouldn't it be better to go for some projects that pray to Mora or food?"

"-Well, if it really exists, Paimon would definitely want to find it!"

"But the main purpose of the Wind Flower Festival is freedom and love. It's all about praying for blessings anyway, so if we just make do with it, it should be fine."

"Well, these wreaths will fall apart easily anyway, so they probably won't interfere too much with the lives of those unfortunate foxes."

He shook his head and realized that when the Tree King and Nashida just stood in the forest, small animals would automatically gather around them.

Although Lin Feng didn't think that Paimon running here to pray to Mora would have any effect, but since this kind of thing was not difficult at all, he was still willing to play with this guy for a while.

After walking a short distance along the path into the forest, he stretched out his hand and waved into the distance, easily calling over a few foxes while Paimon looked at him with a "you cheating" look.

I didn't rush to put on the wreath, but fed it a little bit.

Lin Feng looked at Hall Master Hu, who was making a commotion in the distance and seemed to be chasing something with his great strength, as well as Nashida and the Tree King, who were smiling and hanging wreaths on the small animals.

The evening breeze blows,

Closing his eyes and feeling the good expectations of the people around him, Lin Feng shook his head and smiled, thinking that it was a good idea to end this trip with such an activity.

"You seem to be in a good mood, Narcida?"

"Do you enjoy the activities in Qingquan Town?"

At night, on the way back to the residence.

Feeling the lightness emanating from Nashida from the inside out, Lin Feng was surprised that she actually liked this trip to Qingquan Town so much.

"Well, there are a lot of games here, and they're quite interesting. Everyone around us is also very lively, and I had a lot of fun."

Nashida nodded, looked at the moon in the sky, and her words became more and more cheerful:

"But what makes me happiest is that our journey has left a mark. There are people here who know us. It is no longer an ordinary place where people just pass by and visit."

"The Lannaros gave them their blessings. If I come again next time, I might have a chance to see them."

He paused, as if thinking of something.

In the end, she didn't continue speaking, but turned to look at the Tree King who looked exactly like her and Lin Feng who still looked like a teenager:

"Phew, not bad."

"Huh? What's wrong? Why are you suddenly looking at me and the Tree King?"

Lin Feng was a little confused.

"nothing."

"I just suddenly feel a little lucky."

Nashida pursed her lips, her tone showing some relief:

"Although I used to hate the gods' long lives, because it would cause us to endure much more pain and separation than mortals."

"But now I have never been so grateful. I am grateful that we have such a long time together and we don't have to face the long sadness after each other's departure."

The life of a god is extremely long, and it is destined that many familiar people and friends will gradually drift away, and they will meet and part countless times.

But beyond that, if you are not the only one who has a long life, then it is actually a blessing.

More separations also mean longer companionship. If the companions around you can support each other for thousands of years, then perhaps even the wear and tear of the soul will no longer be a cause for fear.

"Oh, little Narcida, it's a bit heavy."

"heavy?"

Listening to the words of the Tree King beside her, she tilted her head, somewhat puzzled.

"It's nothing, it's just that the weight of the word 'forever' is far beyond the imagination of a short-lived person. But don't worry, at least you won't encounter this problem."

He shook his head and did not intend to respond in detail.

The Tree King looked at the young man who was also in deep thought and smiled slightly. He felt that there might be a lot for him to do in the future.

The next day, Longji Snow Mountain.
