Chapter 513 Bitter Postscript
In the bitter garden, raindrops exuding a sweet fragrance are still falling.
The rain was getting stronger, and the rain quickly wiped out all the burning buildings and vegetation. The dry mud land became moist again, and a hazy mist gradually rose from the entire land.
In the rain, many goblins and aboriginal humans wandered around the city blankly, like a group of unconscious zombies.
This is the inevitable effect brought by the amnesia potion. Under the continuous washing of the rain, people will not only gradually forget the past, but also continue to forget the things they are experiencing now. So I can only wander aimlessly like now.
"Is the dosage too harsh?"
In a pavilion on the side of the street, three avatars gathered under the pavilion to shelter from the rain. Linglong looked at the scene of a group of zombies wandering outside, and looked at the herbal picker with some concern: "This rain will not kill them all. Are you stupid?"
"Is it ruthless? I don't even think it's enough. If we don't increase the dose now, we will be the ones who will cause trouble later." The herb collector said calmly.
"So, what are you going to end up with?" Linglong frowned at the herbal picker.
This is what she hates the most about this guy. She always likes to think about things in silence, and refuses to explain clearly to them. This makes them always feel that they can't see what this person really thinks.
Perhaps sensing Linglong's impatience, the herb picker paused for a moment before finally saying something more.
"Have you noticed that the spirit of the goblin after contracting with the Fool has become very stable?"
Linglong was startled when she heard the words, pondered for a while, and nodded: "That's true, Xiao Lanlan won't talk about it, Tina and Yilijiang, after learning everything and enduring such a big mental shock, did not Showing a tendency towards weirdness..."
"You mean..." The watchman vaguely guessed No. 2's intention.
"Since this is feasible, it is better to carry it forward. Anyway, our fundamental purpose is to ensure that as many goblins here as possible survive, so it is the most efficient way to make them all contract with the fool." The herb collector said.
"Are you... going to move away?" Tina asked uncertainly.
She knew that the Fools were a group of restless people, and it was impossible for a large number of Fools to stay in the Garden of Bitterness for a long time. If they wanted to make a contract with the Fools, the only way would be for the goblins to go out.
"Well, after all, there is no way to keep people here." The herbal picker nodded.
The batch of goblins they exiled before are in the astral world. If these goblins are allowed to get close to Bitter Garden, they will be at risk of being controlled by snakes. Therefore, Bitter Garden can only stay in this hermit space.
The snake is a monster that plays with people's hearts. For it, the strongest seal is not the sealing gun or the watchman, but to take away all the people and goblins in Bitter Garden, turning this place into a deserted city.
Bitter Garden will become a real cage for snakes only when it loses all objects that it can use its abilities on.
"In this case, let's act quickly, while our prestige is still there..." Linglong approved the plan of the herb picker after listening.
The next three clones started to act immediately, and rushed to three countries respectively.
When the rain stopped, the three of them gathered their fellow citizens and announced to them that they were about to relocate their entire family.
At this time, the goblins and the aborigines had just woken up from the rain of forgetfulness. Looking at the ruined homes around them, they still hadn't figured out what happened. Is extremely at a loss.
Regarding this, the three of them had already discussed the reasons in advance.
The fact that the mother tree of the fairies is transformed from a monster's tail cannot be made public among the fairies. This will shake the most fundamental worldview of the fairies and make more fairies alienate.
So the three of them didn't mention the snake at all, they only said that they found a new royal family of goblins in the astral world, so they wanted to bring them back to the astral world and accept the rule of the new king, as long as the goblins are willing to follow this royal family In the future, there will be a chance to re-cultivate a new elf mother tree, so that the elves can return to prosperity.
Of course, it is impossible to have a new elf mother tree, and the elves who have lost their source of population are destined to be impossible to prosper again, but the three of them can only come up with such an argument at this time. As for how to explain it later, They can't control it anymore, let the goblins and fairies have a headache.
And this reason has successfully convinced the goblins. The withering of the mother tree has always been the most difficult thing for them to accept over the years. migrate.
Next, Linglong opened the entrance of the Bitter Garden to the Astral World, and the fairies began to pass slowly.
In order to ensure the safety of the goblins, Dawn City stayed near the imperial capital in advance, and the returned goblins were sent to Dawn City immediately.
The entire migration process lasted for nearly three days before it ended.
Due to the limited time of the gate, Mu You and Fuya rushed back to the Star Spirit Realm before the end of the first day, summoned the fairies and submitted the task.
The original mission of the goblin fairy was to let him find the whereabouts of the goblins and bring back the Bitter Garden.
Unfortunately, this is obviously impossible. After Mu You summoned the goblin fairy, he explained the cause and effect to her.
Fortunately, the goblin fairy is reasonable enough to understand the seriousness of the matter, and did not declare the mission a failure because of this. Instead, she was very grateful for the contributions of the avatars over the years. Under such dangerous circumstances, she was able to save so many clansmen and bring them back safely. Don't dare to ask for more.
"Thank you for your efforts. The Fairies will always remember your kindness. Leave the rest to me."
The goblin fairy saluted Mu parade sincerely, and then went to Dawn City with him, and began to collect the returning goblins as a royal family.
Mu You didn't know how she did it. In short, it took just one day for the goblin and fairy to successfully integrate the goblins of the three countries, eliminate the hatred between each other, and borrow the environment and materials of Dawn City , and began to build a statue for the God of Order on the spot.
After confirming that the situation was stable, Mu You returned to Earth before the door was closed, and immediately called the big shots from various countries on the forum to hold an impromptu meeting.
Mu You did not explicitly explain the three clones and the four thousand years of time confusion, but simply explained the current situation of Gu Snake.
The goblins are directly connected with the power of the snakes. Once the goblins die too much, the snakes will break out and destroy the world. Therefore, humans need to protect these goblins now.
Next, they need to select a group of elite players to contract with these hundreds of thousands of goblins, and these players will also take on the heavy responsibility of protecting their own goblins for a long time in the future.
Although Mu You didn't come up with any evidence, everyone didn't doubt it. After all, there was no need to lie about this matter. Besides, no matter whether there was a threat of a snake or not, such a thing as a contract with a goblin was a huge deal for human beings. benefits.
Among other things, the fact that fairies can help human beings stay young is enough to make countless players scramble for it.
So after Mu You announced the news, no one objected at the scene, and representatives of various countries and powerful forces even started to quarrel on the spot over the number of goblins to be admitted. Naturally, all countries want to try their best to get as many places as possible for such a good thing.
Mu You doesn't care about this, let them fight for themselves, he has only one requirement, and that is that the final candidate must meet the requirements, in addition to the ability to meet the standard, the character also needs to be screened, and there must be no abuse of goblins. .
After a lot of wrangling, the representatives of various countries quickly divided up the contract quota, and each went back to start arranging manpower.
And Mu You also discussed with the goblins and fairies in advance. After the goblins have carved a few statues, they will move the whole family to the Forgotten Land and make a contract with the fools. Those who want to stay on the earth, and those who don't want to can return to the star spirit world. The three sky cities, Anye, Xingguang, and Yongye, who don't plan to fly to the sky, can accept them at any time.
…
Three days later, Bitter Garden.
"This is the last batch."
The three avatars stood not far from the exit portal of Sky City, watching the last batch of goblins and aborigines line up to step into the vortex-shaped portal.
"We should go too..."
Looking at the empty sky city in an instant, the watchman sighed and looked back at the red fairy floating behind him.
"Where is Miss Tina? Do you want to go back to lead the goblin clan as a royal family? Or..."
"snort!"
Before the watchman finished speaking, Tina snorted coldly: "Don't think that Tina doesn't know, you are actually very tired in spirit and will, without Tina around to urge you, as your spiritual support, in case you What should I do if my heart is quickly eroded by a snake?"
"So, Tina will reluctantly follow you for a while... But let me tell you first, it's not because Tina wants to follow you, it's just Tina's helpless move to ensure the safety of the world, don't you Misunderstood!"
The watchman looked at her with a smile: "That's really great. With Miss Tina here, I feel much more at ease."
At this time, not far from the two of them, Linglong knelt down on the ground with her hands on the ground, looking devastated: "My harem... the three thousand beauties that I spent four thousand years painstakingly collecting , I was dismissed once...Eli-chan is gone too...Why is it only me who is unlucky..."
"It should have been disbanded long ago, this is simply an unhealthy life..." While Linglong was thinking, a voice suddenly came from behind.
Linglong suddenly turned her head in surprise, and looked at a certain place behind. On the branch of a small tree there, a green goblin sat on a leaf, blending perfectly with the surrounding plants. If she hadn't taken the initiative to speak , it is difficult for a few people to find someone there.
"Eli-chan! I knew you wouldn't leave me!" Linglong suddenly beamed with joy, rushed over, held Isabelle in her hands, and rubbed her against her face.
Isabelle pushed Linglong's face away with some disgust, hesitated for a while, and finally sighed: "You have to promise that you will not hide anything from me in the future... Also, you are not allowed to overeat in the future, To maintain a regular life…”
"I know, I know, as long as you come back, I will rely on you. As expected, you are my favorite!" Linglong nodded obediently.
While the two avatars and their respective goblins were having fun, on the other side, the lone herbal picker suddenly walked away, walked to the side path, and pushed aside a shrub by the side of the road.
"ah…"
Behind the bushes, Gargamel's old figure was exposed.
She had been hiding here and peeping from afar, but she didn't expect to be found out like this.
Being caught in this way at this time, Gargamel was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole on the spot and bury himself.
"Old, teacher, I..." Gargamel had no choice but to pretend to be calm and sit up straight, lowering his head and weakly trying to defend himself, but he couldn't think of a suitable reason for a moment, but his hands were tightly clutching the hem of his clothes, trembling nervously.
"Glatt, you have worked hard these years."
The herb picker suddenly said: "Because of your dedication, we can successfully save the past and the future."
"teacher…"
Gargamel raised his head in surprise, tears welling up in his eyes.
Before she actually learned that the teacher asked her to guard in the bitter forest, not for her studies, but just for her to wait for someone to appear and complete the closed loop of history.
Being sure that she was really just being used as a tool, it was impossible to say that she wasn't even half sad.
But at this moment, when she heard the teacher's words, the grievance in her heart disappeared immediately. It seemed that with this sentence, everything she had paid before was worth it.
"Have you been in pain all these years?" the herbal picker asked again.
"Ah... no, not at all!" Gargamel froze for a moment, then shook his head hastily, but the slightly diverted gaze still exposed her insincere words.
The herbal picker sighed, looked at the old man in front of him, and took out a short metal stick from his sleeve.
"This is the archiver, as long as you touch it, you can go back to the past, you will regain your youthful appearance and young heart, and forget all the painful memories."
Gargamel stared blankly at the short stick handed by the teacher, and subconsciously stretched out her hand, but when she was about to touch the short stick, she hesitated, but withdrew her hand again.
"Is this the gift the teacher prepared for me..."
Gargamel laughed miserably: "If it's such a gift, please allow me to refuse..."
"Oh? You don't want to regain your youth?" The herbal picker looked at her in confusion.
"No, I just don't want to forget these years..." Gargamel smiled wryly.
Four thousand years ago, before she came into contact with the archiver, she and the teacher did not have much intersection. It was after the Great Calamity that the herbalists officially accepted her as an apprentice. Most of the things she and the teacher experienced together were located after the archive. . If you touch the archiver now, these precious memories will disappear, and she and the teacher will become passers-by who meet by chance again, not even formal friends.
This is absolutely unacceptable to her. She would rather grow old, and she also wants to keep this memory.
"Looks like Linglong is right..."
Seeing her appearance, the herbal picker didn't take back the short metal stick, but took out a bottle of potion from his body with the other hand.
"This is an anti-life medicine, a dose specially formulated for you. After taking it, it can help your body regenerate back to the age of about eighteen years old. It will not affect your memory, but there may be a deviation of five to ten years old. There's some risk."
"I originally thought that this memory in the future should be a painful memory that you want to erase, and the archiver is the most suitable choice for you. Since you don't think so, then, whether to forget this memory is up to you Choose."
