The little girl that I suspected to be Medivh was in high spirits. She bounced around Anveena, constantly using her messy and disorganized words to describe what she had seen in the outside world. Occasionally, she would answer Anveena's questions about what happened after she ate the leaf of the Goddess. Now, I could confirm that this little girl was indeed Medivh — the giant crow that was said to have a wingspan of a hundred meters.
It was quite surprising that she could transform into this form, but it seemed to be a good thing. First, it meant that she had made great progress in controlling her power. Second, after her body had shrunk, she would make less noise. If a giant bird with a wingspan of a hundred meters fell from the sky and landed on my roof, how could I sleep tonight?
However, it seemed to be quite difficult to communicate with this talking version of Medivh. Even though she could surf the internet, learn Dalaran's difficult teaching materials by herself, and fly at dozens of times the speed of sound while spitting out lightning balls, it didn't change the fact that she was only hatched for half a month, and her personality was only four and a half years old. She spoke incoherently, and she had her own way of understanding what she had experienced — in other words, the meaning that we didn't understand. When talking to her, even Anveena seemed to have a headache. She said that it was much easier to talk to Medivh in the past. Back then, Medivh was still a bird, and her thinking wasn't so broad …
It's often the little girl, Medivh, who jumps around and spouts a bunch of stuff. Anveena and I have to spend half a day coming up with formulas, barely piecing together the grammar before we can understand what the bird is trying to say. That is, if she can still be considered a bird.
As for the little girl who came back with Medivh, she was still a mystery. We didn't know her name, where she came from, or what she did before coming here. We didn't even know which country she was from. What was even more amazing was that Medivh didn't know anything about these things … She didn't have the concept of 'a person needs an identity and a name' at all. She still thought like a crow. She felt that as long as she was with someone, it was fine. In the past, it could be a bird, but now it was a human. It turned out that the world of crows was really simple. They had absolutely no concept of discrimination …
While Anveena and I were talking to the two strange girls, the sound of footsteps came from the second floor. It seems the family was finally awakened by the noise downstairs.
"Ah Jun," his sister's voice came from the living room, "what are you doing in the kitchen?"
I pulled Medivh and the strange little girl out. I discovered that everyone in the house was present except for a few children. Chestnut and Gilmei weren't there. It seemed that there were quite a few people in the house with keen sixth sense.
"Medivh is back." I pushed the little girl next to me forward. "But she gave me a smaller one …"
The little girl I pushed shrank her neck and retreated. I looked at her and found that I had pushed the wrong one. I hurried to change to the other one. "Oh, I made a mistake. This one is the one. I don't know who the other one is. He doesn't even have a name. "
Everyone in the house looked at me in shock. Icetis pointed at me and couldn't say anything for a long time. I looked at her in confusion, "Ugh, what's with that look? Especially you, Icetis. What's wrong with you? "
Sis Bing organized her words and said with a serious expression, "Can I assume that as long as something breathes next to you, there's a seventy to eighty percent chance that it will turn into a girl? I heard from Sandora that you were limited to humanoid creatures in the past, but now you've expanded to include poultry?"
I instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Then, Anveena jumped out and pointed at herself, "There's one here that doesn't breathe."
It seems that I will never lack people who know how to cause trouble at the right time … Even Anveena is so sharp.
Anveena and I took turns to explain how the two strange girls had appeared, including the strange girl version of Medivh's incoherent explanation. Everyone clicked their tongues in wonder, but in the end, they all expressed that they didn't understand what the bird meant. The elder sister decided to display her strong affinity and communication skills. She tried to use the simplest method to ask the two girls some questions. She first focused on the brown-haired girl who was still holding onto half an apple and nibbling on it. She didn't know where the latter came from, but she seemed to be a companion that Medivh had brought home in a muddleheaded manner. The two of them looked shockingly similar, and the latter's timid demeanor and the way she kept eating the apple might have triggered the elder sister's tender feelings.
"What's your name?" The elder sister asked with a gentle smile. The girl holding onto the apple looked around worriedly. She might have realized that everyone's gaze was friendly, so she relaxed. She lowered her head and said, "I don't have a name."
I waved my hand, "See, I told you that she doesn't even have a name." The elder sister was stunned and looked at the little girl, "You don't have a name? How do I address you? You have to have … a way to address me, right? How do people usually address you? "
"Vanilla," the little girl said softly. She always had the habit of lowering her head when she spoke. "Everyone calls me Vanilla. I go to the mountains to collect vanilla and sell it at the market. When someone calls me Vanilla, I go over … Later on, people just call me Vanilla. Uh … can I have another one of these? Just one … Sorry … "
The little girl raised the apple in her hand and asked carefully. I noticed something. She ate the apple without spitting out the core. It was as though she didn't know that the core of an apple couldn't be eaten.
Maddy immediately turned around and ran into the kitchen. After a series of clanking sounds, she ran back with a large pile of various fruits in her arms and handed them to the little girl who called herself Vanilla with a silly smile on her face. When An Weina heard the commotion in the kitchen, she couldn't help but be concerned. She floated over to check. After a while, she came back and gave us a helpless expression. "Maddy touched a lot of things."
The crow goddess waved her arms at us (it seemed to be her habit. She would wave her arms whenever she was agitated or had something to say. Could it be a habit of birds?). She mumbled, "I can walk now. It's difficult, but I can't control my wings … hands …"
Anveena translated and added her own opinion, "She said that it took her a lot of effort to learn how to walk with a human body, but she still can't control her hands. I guess she's used to pecking things with her beak. When she was cleaning the floor earlier, she found teeth marks on the broken pieces of the plates. "
"Vanilla, is it?" The elder sister carefully touched the little girl's hair. She smiled in satisfaction when she realized that the little girl wasn't evading her touch. "It's actually a nice name. Where are you from? Do you know where your home is? Or maybe you know the name of the place. "
Vanilla was handling the orange in her hand curiously. She didn't know how to peel it. I took it and passed it to her. The little girl was surprised. Then, she nodded and said, "I live on the mountain, but there's a town next to it. It's called Lauren."
I glanced at Sandora and said, "Lauren, Vanilla, why does it sound like a setting from Earth?"
"We have to get Medivh to do a full body checkup tomorrow. She might have traveled to another world," Sandora said seriously. Then, she tried to look relaxed as she looked at Vanilla. "How did you get to know Medivh? Tell me the details. "
Maybe it was because Sandora had an aura that only outsiders could feel, Vanilla couldn't help but shrink her neck. However, she was happy when she mentioned Medivh. "One night, before I went to sleep, I saw a huge burning cloud and lightning fly past. It landed in the valley next to me. I was scared. The next day, there was a thick fog in the valley. The fog was so thick that I would get lost immediately after I went in. The two people who usually picked herbs with me didn't dare to enter the valley again. They said that it must be the Gods in Heaven fighting. Their fire bricks fell into the valley and people who went in would be roasted by the fire bricks. After a few days, the thick fog seemed to have dispersed a little. I was worried that the herbs in the valley would be burned by the lightning. If that happened, I wouldn't have any food to eat. So, I plucked up my courage and went in alone. After walking for a long time and passing through the fog, I realized that there was no fog in the valley. It was a sunny day. The herbs were burned a little, but most of them were intact. There was a very, very big pit in the middle of the valley. At the bottom of the pit, there was a very, very, very big bird resting. "
Vanilla used the word "very" to describe Medivh's body at that time. She even gestured with her hands exaggeratedly. It was obvious that the Crow God with a wingspan of 100 meters had left a deep impression on the little girl. Her sister patted Vanilla's head and encouraged her to continue. "This child speaks much more clearly than that silly bird."
"I was scared out of my wits at that time. I thought that the big bird was going to eat me. It must have come from the sky. It could be a defeated God that wanted to rest in the valley, or it could just be a Spirit of Nature that was passing by. I heard from some wizards who used grass juice to draw patterns on their faces that all things in the world have spirits. Their leader is the Spirit of Nature. The Spirit of Nature will turn into a random creature and wander the mortal world. Mortals rarely see it because it uses the power of nature to hide itself. The fog should be the power of nature, right? " Vanilla looked at Medivh happily, and the latter responded with a silly smile. "I was so scared that I couldn't move at all. I could barely stand up. That bird was really huge. I tried my best to turn my head, but I couldn't see the other half of its wings. Its body was wrapped in lightning and fire. It was even floating on magma! I think even the most powerful magician and warrior wouldn't dare to stand in front of it! Then, it suddenly opened its eyes and looked at me. Just when I thought that I was going to be eaten, it moved its body. The lightning around it was retracted, and the magma under its body immediately cooled to stone. I think it was trying to protect me. "
Anveena patted Medivh's head approvingly. The latter raised her head happily and cried out, "Wow!"
I covered my face. "This child looks quite likable, but her cry is a little unsightly."
"After that, I plucked up my courage and picked some herbs that hadn't been burned. However, I didn't dare to go near the Spirit of Nature. The next day, when I went to the market to sell the herbs, I tried to get the others to go to the valley to take a look. However, no one dared to go. Only two old magicians who lived in the nearby forest were interested. The next day, they followed me into the valley. However, we hadn't walked far in the fog when a strong wind suddenly blew. Bolts of black lightning broke through the fog and charged towards us. The two magicians immediately screamed in fear. They said that the Spirit of Nature was angry because mortals had trespassed on its nest. They had to split up and run for their lives. Otherwise, none of them would be able to escape the Spirit of Nature's pursuit. Then, they ran away. "
Anveena looked at Medivh with a questioning gaze. The silly bird laughed foolishly and patted her arms. "I wanted to stand up, but my feet got stuck in the rock. Hence, I flapped my wings. However, I realized that there was someone there, so I stopped!"
Anveena translated for us. "Didn't she create a pool of lava under her body? When the lava cooled down, she trapped herself. She didn't intend to hurt anyone. She just flapped her wings. "Everyone was speechless.
I felt that there were two points worth ridiculing. The first was the silly bird's intellect, and the second was her strength.
Vanilla continued to talk about her experience. I suddenly realized that this child was much braver than she looked. Facing a 'Spirit of Nature' that could engulf the entire valley in a storm and lightning with just a flap of its wings, she still had the courage to walk into the fog again and again. She even tried to communicate with the 'Spirit of Nature' in the end.
After walking into the fog several times and returning safely, Vanilla felt that the huge bird didn't have any ill intentions. Hence, she felt more at ease. At first, she only dared to stand and watch from afar. Gradually, she dared to approach the bird. Medivh didn't have any experience communicating with strangers at that time. I guessed that the silly bird was confused too. However, everything went smoothly. On the fourth day after Medivh descended from the sky, Vanilla finally managed to touch Medivh's feathers. The two of them completely let down their guard.
"The Spirit of Nature seemed to be in trouble. It stayed in the big pit," Vanilla said. "I thought it might eat something, so I picked some fruits for it to eat. But it was too big! The fruits I picked weren't enough. "
I thought about the scene of a little girl picking wild fruits to feed a humongous crow that was as big as a hill. I felt that the child was so innocent and cute. However, Vanilla's actions left a good impression on Medivh. That silly bird didn't usually eat, but it seemed that ever since it ate Jingle's leaves, it had changed and learned to eat.
"I realized that it was impossible for me to feed it. I thought about asking for help, but no one dared to go near the valley. They even stayed far away from me." Vanilla looked dispirited, but his eyes lit up. "However, the Spirit of Nature seemed to have recovered its strength. That afternoon, when I went to the valley to look for it, it used its beak to touch my head. Then, it turned into a human in a bright light. It looked exactly like me!"
We instantly understood. So that was how Medivh's current appearance came about. She had carelessly imitated the humans that she had come into contact with recently and turned herself into a girl that looked like Vanilla's twin sister. I glanced at the silly bird that was hiding in Anveena's embrace and tried to guess when she had started practicing her ability to turn into a human. Her coarse cloth dress should have been borrowed from Vanilla. She might even have worn it under Vanilla's guidance. A bird … wouldn't have the concept of wearing clothes.
Sandora was deep in thought. "To undergo such a transformation, she needs to transcend the limits of matter. This means that she has completely transformed into energy once. I'm afraid that Medivh's original physical components have been washed away during the transformation process. She has been completely reborn. How did she preserve her soul during this process? "
I shrugged. "Let's not talk about this. We don't even know how she crossed worlds. Crossing worlds? This silly bird actually flapped her wings and flew through the void? Isn't this ability ridiculous?! "
Just as I said that, Lin raised her hand weakly. "That, it's actually very easy. I used my wings to cross the void …"
I glanced at the Dragon God girl. Alright, I forgot about that.
Vanilla told us almost everything she knew, including why she had returned with Medivh and why she had appeared in our kitchen. She had always been alone. We guessed that she was a child without parents, living alone and struggling to survive. Under such circumstances, it might explain the child's courage in the face of an unfamiliar environment. She was afraid of humans, not a huge crow. Hence, when the "Nature Spirit" transformed into her appearance, Vanilla was naturally happy. She finally had a companion.
She noticed that the "Nature Spirit" wasn't wearing any clothes, so she took out her own clothes and her own food. She realized that the "Nature Spirit" was actually quite kind. She wasn't as irritable and capricious as the wizards had described. She even felt that this powerful existence was like a sister to her. The two "people" who had gotten together in a muddle became friends even more muddleheaded. Vanilla couldn't wait to bring her new sister out for a stroll and let others get to know the kind "Nature Spirit". Hence, she happily dragged Medivh to the nearest town.
However, this caused panic.
Even though Medivh had transformed into Vanilla, she still had obvious non-human features. The world she had gone to obviously didn't have the concept of hair dyeing technology or cosmetic contact lenses. When Vanilla told the others about her "sister"'s origins, the first thought that came to the minds of the ordinary people was utter panic. This was easy to imagine. Furthermore, the two old wizards who had escaped must have told their own experiences. After stepping into the valley, they had immediately angered the Nature Spirit. The Nature Spirit was hunting down the mortals who had disturbed it. Under such circumstances, Vanilla's appearance with Medivh was naturally immediately misunderstood.
The people in the town fled in panic. Then, someone reported the situation to a certain organization. This organization was probably the security department of the world where Vanilla was from. When they appeared, Vanilla, who had never seen much of the world, was naturally frightened. She didn't even have time to explain before she pulled Medivh and fled. Silly Bird had a very thorough understanding of "escape." She immediately led Vanilla home by shattering the void without a word.
This was how they came back …
