There were many forests in the Aichy continent, both well-known and unknown. The most dangerous magical forest was located in the Bardi Empire. Even I didn't dare to go there. There weren't even a few goblins in a peaceful forest, especially the forests that the elves lived in. They contained countless treasures and secrets, and would often be forbidden grounds for other species. However, walking in a forest would be quite different.
The silver elves' forests were peaceful and quiet. For example, in the Silver Mirror Forest, I could faintly see sentinels and rangers hiding under the leaves as I walked through the forest.
The centaur Knight who was patrolling the forest was also fully armored. The fully armored unicorn Knight was powerful and holy. If I had good hearing, I could even hear the Knight's movements and the sound of a bow in the distance. However, I still had to be careful. There would always be spying gazes and whispering behind my back. After walking for so long, I didn't even meet a single wild elf. It was obvious that humans were being guarded against here.
But if I looked at it from a different angle, everything would be different.
Should I say that it was to be expected of the Superior Elves who specialized in combat? Rather than calling this a peaceful forest, it was more like an elven military camp. Although their bows and lances were exquisite and extravagant, the enchantments and materials used on them were of such high quality that anyone would be green with envy. Their standard equipment was so good that even Legends would be green with envy. The unicorn Knight's extravagant equipment made me want to rob a tycoon.
The moon elves' forest had beautiful scenery. The plants here were flourishing to the point of being unnatural. It was possible to see all sorts of God's sculptures and artwork while walking through the forest. Even the elven treehouses were carved with countless patterns and designs. The elves' living environment was also the most comfortable.
Unlike the Silver Mirror Forest, where you couldn't see anyone while walking through the forest, ordinary elves could be seen everywhere in the moon elves' forest. They weren't that wary of outsiders, and it was even possible to buy some small handicrafts from roadside vendors. Yep, I was referring to the former Tassel Kingdom.
Now, although they had transformed into grayblood elves and had the elves' unique craftsmanship and magical techniques, their equipment was still the typical model of extravagant but impractical. Their expensive enchantments were only used to make their artworks seem more beautiful.
As for me, if I couldn't get rid of their extravagant and extravagant decorations, it would be better to sell their products as art. It would be more worthwhile to use them to buy dwarven products.
As for the last remaining Superior Elf species, the wood elves had lost their own kingdom. The forest they lived in was no longer their own territory, and they no longer had the ability to change the forest's environment. However, they had always been the forest's favorites.
They wouldn't use nature magic to change the environment. The wood elves' territories were usually the most natural, and they lived in was no different from any other species. It was common to see powerful creatures that were rarely seen in the outside world, such as Mountain Giants, treants, Druil, Little Red Riding Hoods, and so on. Of These creatures were the wood elves' subordinates. Elf Elf and to to to protect the forest.
The wood elves had the best reputation among the elves due to their peaceful natures. They were one of the few Superior Elves who didn't look down on others. Many wood elves also had a tradition of traveling. Since they loved life and loved to travel, they were often welcomed by all species. In fact, some royalty even invited them to become outstanding instructors.
However, this world wasn't just filled with kindness. If the wood elves were completely defenseless, perhaps the wood elves, who were viewed as treasures by some, would have long since gone extinct. The natural forest was the best shelter for the wood elves, and the powerful creatures in the forest would be the wood elves' natural allies. All the trees and plants in the forest would constantly watch over foreign invaders. In front of a living forest, even those with unfathomable intentions wouldn't be able to find the path to the wood elves' home.
The wood elves in the forest weren't to be trifled with. The wood elves in the outside world were also not to be trifled with. If the wandering wood elves were forced into a corner, they would be able to use Nature's Wrath, a species' natural talent ability that could only be used once in a lifetime. This ability would allow the wood elves to transform the entire surrounding forest into a group of relentless avengers. Although not every wood elf possessed such a talent ability, it would likely be a loss on the level of a forbidden spell if a wood elf ran into one. That was why all countries strictly forbade any illegal actions against the wood elves.
But today, the moment that I stepped into this forest, I felt like the entire world had changed. This powerful feeling of being in a different world made me dizzy, and it was impossible to get rid of the dizziness.
As far as the eye could see, the breathing plants and forests gave off a strong sense of life. Yes, it was a sense of life. This forest was alive. It was breathing, it was napping. From the moment you entered, it had opened countless eyes and was silently watching you.
"Oh my, how unfriendly."
Flying in the dense magical forest was obviously not a wise move. The bone dragon stopped at the edge of the forest, but the moment it transformed into its human form, a purplish-green wall of thorns suddenly rose in front of Gria. Sensing Gria's undead presence, the forest that was fighting against the undead unhesitatingly closed its door, refusing her entry.
As for me …
The path that suddenly opened up seemed like a secret path leading to a fairy tale. Flowers bloomed on both sides of the path as if they were welcoming guests.
The moment that I stepped onto the grassy path, a wall suddenly rose up behind me, almost causing Gria to crash head-on into it. This obvious difference in treatment caused Gria to feel like she was about to die from anger.
But when I entered this forest, I was secretly astonished. This powerful feeling of being in a different world had already materialized. The ridiculously abundant life force of the plants in this forest was doubtlessly the best explanation — this forest was the ruler of this world. This was the core of this world.
What astonished me the most were the plant lifeforms on both sides of the path that slightly lowered their heads and smiled at me in greeting. Although their physical appearances were quite different from ordinary lifeforms, and their fibrous wooden bodies made them seem out of shape and strange, their souls and expressions clearly indicated that they already possessed independent thoughts and intelligence. They were intelligent lifeforms no different from ordinary humans.
"It's wonderful that you came. Mother will definitely be happy."
A child's voice echoed in my ears. A small wood spirit was waiting for me on a tree branch not far away from me.
Seeing that I noticed her, she immediately jumped down. Only now did I notice that she was far smaller than her fellow wood spirits. She looked quite similar to an elf child, but she reached up to my waist.
"You are?"
"Mother's second daughter, Diligence. We've already met you before. It's just that you recognize our current appearances. "
She had light red hair that was completely different from Amelia's. Her face was even more exquisite than that of an elf's, and her thorny flower petals were the best accessories. Her thorny skirt only covered her most important parts, and even her little feet were stepping on flower petals. As she walked, the fragrance of the flowers would scatter everywhere. She was just like a forest fairy from a fairy tale.
Although her facial features were quite similar, I would say that her physical appearance was only 30% similar. That was because in my memories, Amelia would never have such a healthy and sunny smile. She would either be laughing hysterically or laughing evilly under her mage robes. Meanwhile, the cute little girl in front of me had the purest kindness on her pink face. Just looking at her made me feel like she was a good child full of energy. How could she possibly be related to Amelia?
"The Seven Virtues …"
I paused in surprise for a moment as I recalled that frightening man-eating garden. But then, I felt that it was only natural. Since Amelia had already reached such a realm, it was only natural that her Seven Virtues would be completely independent.
She would have an independent sense of self, and it was even possible for her to betray the Creator. In that case, the first thing I needed to do was …
"You still don't have a name? How about I help you come up with one? "
Since we were going to be in a relationship … er, how could I not know a name? Of course I needed to come up with one first.
"… Um, there's no need, there's really no need. I already have a name. My older sister helped me come up with it, Rosa. "
Rosa seemed to be frightened by my enthusiasm as she hurriedly took two steps back and lifted her up into the air with her petals. She seemed like she was about to run away at any moment.
"That's so uncreative. You're originally a rose of the rose genus, yet you're directly using that as a name? That's so insincere. At the very least, it has to match the colors, right? How about true red? Right, you have an older sister? Is she white? How about calling her Quicksilver? "
Rosa seemed to have never interacted with anyone else since she was born. When I suddenly approached her, she had an awkward expression and became even more flustered. But then, she suddenly quieted down as if she was listening to something.
"… Older sister, I want to ask you. Are you intending to gather a seven-color combination? However, we only have three sisters right now, and she isn't white. It's impossible for us to gather a seven-color combination in such a short period of time. That's why I appreciate your good intentions. "
I still wanted to say something, but little Rosa seemed to hear something. She covered her ears and disappeared into the forest, leaving behind only one sentence:
"Older sister wants me to go help her. You can find Mother if you follow this path. Hurry up and go."
She left, but her bell-like voice still echoed in the forest. As expected of a rose's incarnation, her faint floral fragrance was instinctively intoxicating, making me want to inhale as much as I could. However, I directly got up and left. After all, I knew that Amelia's "Diligence" was the most proficient at creating poisonous fragrances. If I accidentally inhaled too much of it, it would be fatal.
However, as I walked down the path, I felt a mysterious sadness in my heart. Although I had created five Original Sins, and my individual power level was far stronger than Amelia's, who only had three Virtues, which was why I always felt that I was superior to her in the field of creation, just looking at that cute little girl made me feel like I had completely lost. I had even lost at the very beginning.
"I've lost … Forget about the fact that everyone here is male apart from that silly cat, why is it that not a single one of them has normal values and aesthetics? There's a silly dog that can't even play bocce ball properly, a zombie that transforms into a spaceship man, a damn fatty that can't eat his fill, and a muscular dog egg with a strange aesthetic sense. If I compare all of them, it'll be a shoujo manga, an idol drama, and a fairytale-style story, while we have a horror movie and a comical manga.
How can I accept this? "In the end, my extreme sadness made me shout out.
"Amelia, there's such a huge difference in style! Can we switch? I know that you hate men, so I'll give you the silly cat. If you think it's too little, I can even throw in a dog egg. He's capable of changing his physical appearance, and he can transform into any beauty he wants. I don't have high requirements. Just give me that Rosa from earlier! "
* Clang! *
A gigantic pine cone suddenly smashed down with enough momentum to knock me over. This seemed to indicate a certain someone's attitude, but I heard from above me, "You stinky bastard that made Mommy sad, hurry up and leave." When I looked up, I saw a tiny purple figure walking away from the treetops.
"… The three sisters? Is that temperance or modesty? Why are they all in the form of young girls? Does Amelia have so little trust in adults and men? Forget it, since I'm already here, I'll find out sooner or later. "
As I walked down this path, what astonished me the most wasn't the "virtues" I just saw.
In the forest, some mature wood spirits were chatting, some young ones were chasing each other, some were cultivating new magical plants, and some were indeed enjoying the sweetness of fruits. They would even use shiny leaves as currency to trade. This forest world was filled with life, and it had its own social activities and market cycle. It was likely that I had lost in more than just the appearance of my creations.
It was obvious that this forest originally didn't have any paths. If I followed the path, I would meet with many obstacles. However, the flowers in the fields would lower their heads and avoid me, while the towering trees would suddenly uproot their roots and move elsewhere. Thorny fences would automatically bury themselves into the ground. The deeper I walked, the more I faintly sensed that a will was summoning me.
"Amelia?"
After passing through the forest, I arrived at a quiet lake. The lake reflected the weeping willows, and the blooming lotuses on the lake. A green-haired sleeping beauty was currently sleeping soundly on the petals of the largest water lily in the middle of the lake.
A cool breeze brought her coolness, and moonlight from an unknown source illuminated the boat made of flower petals. The open sky was actually dotted with stars, and her snow-white skin seemed rather delicate under the starlight.
"I'm coming."
Before I even finished speaking, countless memories and illusions formed a new world that I was instantly dragged into. What I saw before me was a dream world that surpassed the boundaries of reality and imagination.
