...
"Did she... really say that at that time?" After listening to Leaf's narration, Vendy burst into laughter. "What about Snaketooth? Didn't he say anything else? "
"He just giggled with her." Leaf shook her head. "Maybe it wasn't easy to muster up the courage to say those words. He probably used up all his courage after just one time."
"I think so." Vendy's smile widened. "It's so good to be young."
"Is it good for us to do this? To eavesdrop on our conversation. "Leaf's green phantom descended from the branches and condensed into her true form.
"I'm not eavesdropping. I'm just fulfilling His Majesty's request." Vendy said righteously, "He asked me to pay attention to their actions. Since I want to pay attention to them, talking is part of it, isn't it?"
In that case, there was indeed no problem.
"Besides, if I didn't ask you to, you wouldn't have eavesdropped on their conversation, right?" Wendy looked at Leaf with a smile.
"Uh..." The latter cleared her throat and raised the corner of her mouth. "Yes."
The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.
Leaf waved her hand. A huge vine rose from the ground and slowly lifted herself and Vendy to the top of the tree. Then the dense branches spread, crisscrossed, and reunited to form a veranda made of green leaves.
Looking from this angle, the world suddenly became a lot brighter. The dense forest that extended all the way to Dragonspine Ridge was like a sea of emerald trees, and on the other side was a vast grassland.
When she was still in the Witch Cooperation Association, Leaf would occasionally build similar treehouses for her sisters to avoid the heavy rain and the muddy and wet ground. However, it usually took more than half a day to build a resting place. In order to save as much magic power as possible, the treehouse was basically like a cicada cocoon. Even so, not everyone had a place to stay.
But now, not only did the veranda look like a model, but also a lounge chair and a tea table were built. There were even two broad leaf cups on the coffee table, and the light golden flower nectar in the cups sparkled under the sunlight.
"Did you brew this yourself?" Vendy picked up the teacup and gently sniffed it. An elegant fragrance wafted into her nose.
"Yes, I used morning dew, honey, and sugar cane wine. I also added some half-opened jasmine buds." Leaf nodded. "Although it's not as good as Chaos Drinks, you can drink as much as you want."
"You're getting stronger and stronger," Vendy exclaimed. "Although they all say that Her Highness Anna is a once-in-a-century genius, I don't think you're any worse than her. As long as you have enough time … you might be able to control all the forests in the world and spread your consciousness to every corner of the continent. "
"At my current speed, I definitely can't do that." Leaf smiled and waved her hand. "It will take nearly ten years just to integrate this Misty Forest. By the time I can leave here, I'll probably be old."
"That's not necessarily true." Vendy sipped the tea in the cup. "Agatha said that the influence between witches and magic power is mutual. The more powerful a witch was, the stronger her body and the longer her lifespan would be. If it weren't for the cruelty of the war, those Transcendents might still be alive now. " She looked up at the sky. "And your magic power is even higher than theirs. That is to say, you may be the one who can live the longest among us."
Leaf did not answer. Instead, she showed a trace of loneliness, but Vendy did not notice.
"By the way, it's not just these two points. Even your appearance is related to your magic power level." She paused for a moment. "The legendary Queen of Fallen Star, Alice, is devastatingly beautiful. Even Pasha and the others have admitted it." Vendy withdrew her gaze and carefully looked at her for a moment. "Well — I do feel that you've become a little different from before … How should I say it? The moment you descended from the shade of the tree, you looked like a forest fairy. It's really enviable."
Leaf helplessly rolled her eyes at her. "This doesn't sound like something the gentle and caring Vendy would say."
"Who knows? Maybe I didn't have the mood to think about such a problem before?" Vendy laughed. "Apart from gritting your teeth and surviving, what magic power can achieve, what it will become in the future, whether it's ugly or beautiful, are just superfluous things."
"That's true." Leaf curled her lips. "Now you're starting to think about the influence of magic power on your appearance. Is it possible that … you also have someone in your heart?"
"That's two different things. Besides, you're not much younger than me. Aren't you afraid of following in my footsteps? "
"Let's not talk about 'not much younger' for now. I already have a forest, so what's there to be dissatisfied about? But even if you don't tell me, I have a way to find out. After all, I'm the one who provided Honey with the animal messengers. "
"Unfortunately, as the person in charge of the Witch Union, every report of hers has to be read by me first."
The two teased each other and enjoyed the afternoon's harmonious conversation.
It was not until the sun gradually set that Leaf returned to the topic at hand. "So, are you leaving soon?"
"Yes." Vendy stood up. "I have to send Her Highness Anna and the others back. 'Seagull' can't fly at night, so it has to take off before four o 'clock."
"It seems that Paper can't spend the campfire party with her friends."
Unlike other family members who took the train to visit, the little girl was directly transported to the front by glider. The scheduled return flight could not be delayed for a day because of her, nor could they leave her alone.
"There's no other way." Vendy spread out her hands. "Whether it's for the sake of safety or the needs of Neverwinter, she can't spend too much time on the road."
"Let me help you call her." Leaf transformed back into her spirit form.
"Thank you."
Leaf went into the trunk and appeared in front of Vendy after a few seconds.
"Alright, she'll meet you at the landing field. She should be saying goodbye to her friends now. I'll send you there. "
Vendy nodded and turned around to wait for the balcony to descend.
"Well …"
Leaf suddenly said softly.
"What's wrong?"
"No." She hesitated. "Nothing …"
Vendy exhaled, turned around and said softly, "Don't keep your thoughts to yourself. I'm always willing to listen."
"I'm just a little …"
"A little what?"
"A little …" Leaf clenched her fists and was about to say something when she suddenly froze. She looked over Vendy's head and fixed her eyes on the north of the forest.
Sensing the shock and surprise in her eyes, Vendy could not help but look in the same direction.
She saw several wisps of black smoke rising from the dense forest like a slowly unfolding curtain.
