The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

: Humans and Vastaya

“Now he’s in trouble, I have to try my best to help him!” Lilia cheered herself up.

A gust of wind blew, and it was the boy’s dream that was brought over.

Lilia tapped on the branch, and the little dream flew out from the lantern, dragging the new dream to Lilia.

Lilia opened it happily: “Well…he wants more detailed knowledge of vastaya, no problem…eh! Does he still want to know this kind of thing…too…too…”

Lilia blushed like an irritated flame mushroom. She continued to read: “Well…he still wants to eat it! Eat…eat mine…”

Lilia hurriedly threw away the dream in her hand, and protected the flower buds on her head: “Never…never let him eat it again!”

The fantasy tree swayed gently, watching her shy daughter like a kind mother.

Sensing the sight from Mother Tree, Lilia lowered her head in embarrassment, and continued to weave a dream: “The villain…caused me to be made fun of by Mother Tree…”

Lilia immersed herself in weaving a dream for the boy, and the dream tree suddenly trembled.

Lilia jumped nine feet high from the ground, and when she landed, her face was already hot enough to boil a pot of water: “You you you you you… what are you talking about! Mother tree! Only… just now Not like a wife who knits clothes for her husband!”

A little dream danced around Lilia, and Lilia was so annoyed that her tongue became tongue-tied: “Lennon even made fun of me! Don’t… just ignore you!”

Lilia’s ears moved suddenly, she raised her head, and sniffed her nose a few times.

“Someone is coming to the garden!” Lilia picked up the half-woven dream, stuffed them into the flower lantern, and said to the little dream, “Come on! It’s her!”

The little dream drilled back into the flower lantern, and Lilia ran across the flower fields with the branches in her arms, being careful not to let her hooves step on these delicate flowers.

“She’s gone to the gardener’s mother-in-law!” Lilia began to have a bad feeling.

Lilia ran at full speed to the other side of Wangyou Garden. The garden is huge.Even with the footsteps that Lilia can leap over the river with a single leap, it took quite a while to reach it.

Lilia prostrated herself on the ground, trying her best to conceal her aura. This was one of the things she was best at. In terms of skills that would not be discovered, she could even write more than a dozen scrolls eloquently.

Lilia quietly picked the flowers, and the disturbed flowers slapped her on the head angrily with their leaves.

“Sorry…” Lilia apologized softly.

Through the flowers, she saw two women sitting opposite each other under a cloud fruit tree.

An old woman with a calm face was drinking tea.

There was also an extremely beautiful young vastaya woman with a pair of fox ears and nine snow-white fox tails. Her face is sometimes sad, sometimes painful, and sometimes obsessed.

“It really is Ahri.” Lilia lay on the ground, looking at the Vastaya woman nervously, “Isn’t she here to ask the gardener mother-in-law to bury her memory?”

Lilia was a little flustered. The secret buried by the gardener’s mother-in-law would never see the light of day again. If Ari really left the boy’s memory here…

Lilia looked at the lantern, which still contained her unfinished dream.

Her dreams can complement the boy’s memories, but the dreams she weaves are only false substitutes after all. No matter how hard Lilia weaves them, she can’t be completely accurate [Source; Group]: 9? 8; 0; 2? . 0′. 5,,8″5.;6 Accurately reproduce every moment, every detail.

Lilia summoned up her little courage, even though Ahri was scary, and Granny Gardener was also scary in a certain sense, but she was ready to rush out to stop them [Source; Group]: 9? 8 ;0;2? . 0′. 5,, 8″ 5.; 6 prepared.

But Granny Gardener and Ari seemed to be still talking, and Lilia pricked up her ears and began to eavesdrop.

“Does he have a sealed memory?” Lilia heard something that surprised her.

Xiaomeng came out and poked her face a few times.

“Oh, I forgot that I still have to weave him a dream…” Lilia took out the dream, and listened to Ahri’s narration nervously while weaving.

The more she listened, the more frightened Lilia became.

…

Xia opened the tree hole and found that Luo was already standing outside waiting for her.

“Good morning.” Luo greeted.

“Good morning…” Xia came out in embarrassment, and smoothed out the feathers that were a little curled up when she got up early.

“I found breakfast for you.” Luo stretched out his hand, revealing a pile of fresh grass and fruit in his palm.

“Oh…thank you…” Xia carefully picked up one and ate it under Luo’s earnest gaze, “It’s delicious.”

Luo showed a happy smile.

“Oh my God…he’s really…too dazzling…” Xia thought sincerely, whether it was his feathers or his smile, it made Xia feel uncomfortable.

“Yeah.” Xia noticed Luo’s eyes, “Did you…be more energetic than yesterday?”

“Have it?”

“Forget it, it might be an illusion.” Xia took another grass fruit and threw it into her mouth. “Listen well, today we will officially leave the forest and enter the human territory.”

“Oh.” Luo didn’t respond.

Xia rubbed her Jingming acupoint with a headache, wondering if Luo was a human being who had been with her for too long and had no sense of crisis at all: “Remember, human beings are greedy, cunning, evil, and despicable Creatures, after entering their territory, you must not run around, you must follow me, you know!”

“I know!” Luo nodded cheerfully, “Follow you closely, never leave! Does this mean that we can sleep together?”

Xia hammered her chest hard, and the grass fruit got stuck in her throat.

Luo hurriedly patted Xia on the back, and she finally let it go.

“Still not allowed [resource; source’ group]: 9? 8; 0; 2?. 0′. 5,, 8″5. ;6! “Xia said with a pale face, “If you dare, I will really throw you away!” ”

Luo hurriedly nodded to express his understanding.

“Really…” Xia sighed for a long time. She felt that getting along with Luo was 10,000 times more tiring than hunting humans.

“Can I ask a question?” Luo ate the remaining half of the fruit.

“Say.”

“Why do you hate humans so much?”

Xia’s face suddenly became extremely cold: “Does this need to be said? Because vastaya and human beings are natural enemies, and it is impossible to coexist.”

“I still don’t quite understand.”

“Let’s go, I’ll tell you slowly along the way.” Xia felt that it was time to cultivate Qi Luo’s vigilance and hatred towards human beings. “In short, you have to remember one thing first.”

Xia walked in front, holding a knife-like purple feather in her hands: “On the land of birth, there can only be one vastaya and human beings left.”

——————————————————————————————————————————————

In Ionia, although humans and vastaya both believe in the custom of being close to and respecting nature, the ways of the two are completely different, which leads to a huge cultural gap between humans and vastaya.

Only a small number of vastaya races are willing to coexist with humans or integrate into human society, while most vastaya races are still wary or even hostile towards humans. Conflicts in some areas have intensified to the point of irreconcilability, and small-scale conflicts often broke out between the two sides.
