A small flower was offered to Lana; it was a token of friendship.

But later, the beautiful dream turned into a nightmare; she dreamed that she could no longer see Lanlana.

Lana continued recounting the dream, her voice slightly hurried, as she eagerly wanted to share her happiness and worries with the other person.

Because she was really scared, so scared that the dream she just had was real, so scared that this was just a dream.

So she was in a hurry, even if it was a dream, she wanted to finish saying what she wanted to say before she woke up.

She said she just dreamt that she forgot Lanlana, that she no longer believed in fairy tales, and that she became a 'reliable adult'.

I dreamt of you, but I can't dream of you anymore.

This reminds everyone of the song "I Have Never Forgotten," whose lyrics fit perfectly.

'We forget fairy tales when we grow up, and we forget dreams when we wake up.'

I have never forgotten that this song truly expressed the feelings of so many people in Sumeru.

No, not just the Sumeru people, but everyone, because it sings of the purest beauty, which is especially appealing to those who have left their hometowns.

Lana: "When I woke up, I was so scared. I was afraid that I would really forget you... Thankfully, it was just a dream! I'm so happy to see you again!"

Now they have met again, but Coranana has forgotten everything.

She could sense Lana's emotions and wanted to respond, but that memory had already faded.

Without the foundation of memory, emotions become less firm.

Lanalo wouldn't lie with feigned emotions, so Lanalana's only response could be:

"I'm sorry, Lanlana doesn't remember..."

She felt wronged; she had actually forgotten her friend.

She was panicked; she was afraid the other person would get hurt.

She forgot not only Lana, but also the children of Vimo Manor; she forgot everything.

This sentence truly touched everyone's heartstrings; forgetting is the most painful farewell.

It feels like a family member has Alzheimer's disease, and you're talking to them about the past, about happy memories.

He talked about your childhood experiences and how much he loved you.

But he doesn't remember... He'll just look at you blankly and ask, 'Who are you?'

Such a heart-wrenching question, which makes one's lips tremble, would move even an outsider to tears.

Rosalyn, in particular, the executor of the Fools, cried the most while reading this 'fairy tale'.

However, she cared about her image and kept holding back, pretending nothing was wrong even when she was inwardly seething.

Similarly, the other Mondstadt residents felt guilty because they had truly forgotten so much.

They had completely forgotten Rosalyn and Dvalin's sacrifices, but now, after reading this story, they truly felt what it meant to be forgotten.

It's no wonder that the Abyss Order exploited Dvalin's anger.

In the story, the traveler and Lana explained everything they had experienced, making it clear to Lana the reason for Lana's amnesia.

It was an epic journey that was as tumultuous as a fairy tale.

Lana: "So, it was me who forgot..."

I felt so heartbroken when I heard Lanlana didn't remember, and I feel so guilty now.

She knew that Lanlana must have been heartbroken when she forgot her, but Lanlana was still willing to give up her memories for her because:

Lanlana said, "You are the most important Nala, more precious than memories."

So it's okay, the most precious Nala is still here, and we can create even more memories.

The camera deliberately focused on Lana and Lana's bows, identical blue bows, tokens of friendship that they never took off even when they forgot.

Lana and Lana embark on a journey together, where they will create even more memories.

This should have been a beautiful thing, but the audience was even more upset because it reminded them of Lanromo.

Traveling together is wonderful; it creates so many precious memories. But Lanromo no longer has that chance.

That active, playful child has 'grown up'.

It's all that Winter's Bane's fault! If he hadn't caused trouble, this wouldn't have happened!

The audience knew exactly who to vent their anger on, and at that moment they wished they could tear him to pieces.

However, Lana's words make sense; without him, the Traveler and Lana might never have met.

The memory of that encounter suddenly came to everyone's mind. Back then, Lana was facing the mushroom beast alone and seemed to have said, "Damn mushroom."

It's kind of funny to think about it now... It's been so long, I feel a little nostalgic...

Chapter 706 The Forest Book - End

It can only be said that memory is truly magical; it stays in place silently, but when recalled, it always stirs up a storm of emotions in one's heart.

To everyone's surprise, not only did the memories stir up a storm in their hearts, but the scene before their eyes was also as astonishing as a giant wave crashing down.

A green light shone on Lana's chest; it was the light of the Eye of God.

The Eye of God! This is the first time everyone has witnessed the distribution of the Eye of God; it never expected it to appear so suddenly.

Zheping stared wide-eyed. What... why?

Unlike Teppei, the others did not have an excessive pursuit of the Eye of God.

So at this moment, tears suddenly appeared in their eyes. Their emotions, which had been stabilized, were shattered after the appearance of the Eye of God.

For everyone, this was the truly explosive final blow, because this Eye of God seemed to be proof of the arduous journey they had undertaken.

The various memories flashed back and forth under the green light of the Eye of God, from meeting Lana and camping together, to the appearance of Lanromo and the chorus at the Worry-Free Festival.

Finally, the green light gradually transformed into the shape of Lanromo, just as if he were constantly radiating the aura of life.

As the light faded, what appeared in everyone's eyes was a grass-element pattern—a heart.

What are the character standards of the Eye of the Grass God? Dreams? Growth? Purity? Seeking knowledge?

People are unaware of this because all of these elements appear in this story.

So the story is long, but it's a really good story.

For those who read the story, this length makes it even more moving, as if the characters in the story have truly been with them for a long time.

However, all good things must come to an end, and it was time to say goodbye.

Lana waved her hand and said, "Don't lose to the wind, don't lose to the rain. Don't lose to the winter snow, and don't lose to the scorching summer..."

"I once heard a poem that said, 'When we meet again, I must be stronger. Traveler, Paimon, we will meet again!'"

'We made a promise: when we meet again after we've both grown up, we'll be even more beautiful than we are now.'

Is it over? The audience stared wide-eyed, feeling a sense of loss.

Is this the end of such a long story? Is it really over?

I don't know why, but when I was reading the story, it felt very long, but when it actually ended, I felt a little empty and melancholy.

The story is magical, and the ending of fairy tales always leaves people reluctant to say goodbye.

It feels like a long-time friend is about to leave, and you'll never be able to contact them again.

It was like witnessing a dazzling firework fade away in the silent night sky; all the vivid experiences suddenly froze in the instant the screen went black.

In Nasita's words, "It's like having rain-soaked clouds stuffed into my chest."

But the rain did not fall, so everyone wiped away their tears, leaving only melancholy in their hearts.

This is just the story of Lanaro, which has only been with everyone for a short time. No one dares to imagine how sad everyone would feel if the traveler's journey ended.

This is a journey we don't want to end, but the traveler's purpose is to find her blood relatives, and everyone still hopes she can find them.

It's a dilemma. I really hope that after finding her blood relatives, I can continue watching The Traveler's Journey, because she's already an old friend of everyone's.

It's unclear how the traveler's story will unfold, but at least for now, Ying needs to connect with Lin Qiu on a deeper level.

It's so rare to see Yingmei so vulnerable; it's really uncommon.

Ying didn't even want to watch the post-credits scene; she was now eager to talk to Lin Qiu.

Lin Qiu was also surprised, thinking that Ying would break down when reading the 'bedtime story' later.

The final Easter egg wasn't anything special; it was just that the traveler solved Alfonso's little story and wrote Alfonso's ending.

Everything can be said to have started because of him, so dealing with him is a little surprise for everyone.

However, to everyone's surprise, their opinion of him changed slightly after hearing his story.

He was a child of the House of Hearths, an orphan, though he genuinely considered Vimalakirti his home and truly loved the children.

But his loyalty led him to carry out the mission, so in the end, the task fell to the doctor who gave the order.

This is not a random explanation; in fact, travelers will find a note on their journey detailing the doctor's research.

He was researching the dead zone, and then he recruited some people to conduct human experiments.

This includes men, women, one boy, and two girls.

The adults died; they all died during the experiment.

The man died first, which the woman witnessed. After that, the woman went somewhat insane. The two were very likely husband and wife.

The child escaped with Lanalo's help; the record states that he went missing, and before disappearing, he had delirium (talking incoherently) and was talking to a 'fantasy friend'.

This is what sparked the Doctor's interest in Lanaro; he discovered Lanaro's existence while researching the Dead Zone.

Then he wanted to capture some Lanaros to use as live samples, which triggered everything that followed.

So the "mad scientist" label isn't just a casual remark; this text is no longer rated 12+ and is inappropriate for a fairy tale like The Forest Book.

Moreover, since it was originally extra text from the exploration process, Lin Qiu didn't include it in this story, but planned to include it as an Easter egg in the novel later.

No one knows what the doctor did yet; people have only changed their opinion of him after learning about Alfonso's experiences and thoughts.

But despite the improvement, such a person cannot be allowed to stay in Vimalakirti Village under any circumstances.

There are two ways to handle this in the story: one is to solve it directly, and the other is to expel it.

But in reality, no matter which ending it is, it's the same: Alfonso will die.

The traveler would have to deal with it directly, and even if he were driven out, he would still encounter the Beast Hounds.

In this light, it seems that being arrested and imprisoned in reality was actually the best outcome for Alfonso.

The forest book truly ends here, and this fantastical fairy tale journey finally comes to a close.

The audience members were all covered in tears, their faces streaked with tears.

A fairytale-like story, yet it hides so many daggers. Lin Qiu, are you even human?

We really wanted to read some relaxing fairy tales, why won't you let us?!

Do you feel good seeing us suffer? Why can't you write something positive?

The key word is 'sunshine', not 'cult'!

What many people don't know is that Lin Qiu is actually quite gentle; she hasn't deliberately posted some of the more offensive copy. Well, she'll save it for later.

However, this gentleness may very well disappear when writing desert stories.

Because the stories there are truly 'horrifying', enough to stop a child from crying.

Chapter 707 After the Forest Book Ends

Since we're on the topic of stopping crying, let's talk about Funina, who is currently trying to stop crying.

She was observing her surroundings; there were still some outsiders present, so she was trying her best to be patient.

She tried hard not to let the tears fall, holding them back in her eyes. Although she tried her best to keep a straight expression, it was hard to tell what she was enduring.
