Lysatos hovered around the outskirts of the green capital, receiving a host of kind or malicious glances. Some elves took off their hats in distant greeting, while children peeled at the window, looking at the golden dragon's shining scales and sail-like wings and shouting in excitement.
A little girl also pushed open the window, and before she could marvel, she was pulled into the house by her parents, the window closed viciously, and then came the faint sound of reprimand and prayer.
Lysatos left wing slightly retracted, tilted and hovered down, he glided against the broken star lake, the airflow left a scar on the surface of the water, rippling. He changed to his elfin form and landed lightly, in response to today's lesson, Lysatos did not want to leave a large area of grass spilling blood.
Hora bowed low, while his guard flexed his right hoof, as well as showing his gratitude to Lysatos.
Lysatos smiled: "It's been some days since I've seen you, now I should call you the White Mane King."
The unicorn king did not change his mood, as if the change from small tribal leader to clan king was as trivial as eating and sleeping. "It's just a name to unify the tribe, other than that, the name has no other meaning."
A dragon and a beast strolling around the lake, Hora said: "I heard that you intend to make the princess a druid, must admit is a very good decision, this rainforest needs the servants of nature two tending, soothing the damage of war."
Then you can be wrong, it is precisely to cause more harm, Lysatos did not put the words out.
"The deal is just, not to mention that Drusillia all the energy favored by the forest, it is too bad not to teach correctly, also count me as a good teacher's fault."
In the distance, Rameshirai led a group of adult unicorns for training. Just see the ranger give the command, three unicorns with a large lake rock as an imaginary enemy, formed a triangle formation to attack. Another whistle was called and the unicorns on both sides circled around from the left and right to form an encirclement.
Lysatos said with admiration, "Your people are adapting quickly."
On the contrary, Hora sighed: "Forced to change from chaotic and spontaneous habits to orderly camp which is not so easy, we just adapt to small group combat, but the number of a ..."
Training in the distance to confirm Hora's words, 30 unicorns watched the demonstration, began to charge en masse, running patronizingly and furiously, with a front and a back, heard the command to scatter worse, seven or eight unicorns want to game table marbles, chaotic collision together, rolled into a pile. The unicorns who got up looked discouraged.
Ramesilai depressed, he would love to tell a few jokes to liven up the atmosphere, but unfortunately, the language of the two communities have not yet communicated to that stage.
Lala team member Drusillia also acted as a temporary babysitter, she was responsible for watching over a dozen small unicorns. The fiery red or violet-eyed cubs, who loved the natural and serene smell of the princess, jumped around her.
"It looks like you're adjusting well, saving me the effort of soothing your bitter, angry mood." Lysatos said to Drusillia.
The princess gave a gentle smile and tickled the neck of a cub, who added Druhiria's palm with a tender red tongue. "Just ... see them temporarily forget the trouble, I like children, unicorns can grow freely in the jungle, but the children of Tia, but to Yi Dian's vine whip to shatter the childishness ... "Druhiria face went down again gloomily.
Lysatos high-fived and assumed the posture of an impartor. "Let the cubs return, they will distract you."
Hora dismissed the training herd of unicorns, but had no intention of walking away herself. Ramesile was about to retire, but was left by Lysatos to listen.
The crowd sat on the grass by the lake and was told to relax as much as possible. It was very different from the strict classroom that Drusilla wanted to think about.
Lysatos raised his index finger: "The first question, naturally, is what?"
This question Drusillia has been thinking about all night, she apprehension to say their understanding: "Not only the forest, Salaver all the sky and land, and the sea, the result of its thousands of years of change and change, are nature. This includes all the animals and plants, as well as the energies, the dwarves, and the ... humans."
The golden dragon and the unicorn nodded together in agreement with the answer, and Drusillia smiled with joy.
Raising his middle and index fingers, "Second question, what is the meaning of reverence for nature?" This time did not wait for the princess to think, he said the answer, "is evolution."
Hora fiercely turned his head to look at Lysatos, eyes full of incomprehension, hesitated for a moment, or did not interrupt the lecture.
"Split-tooth leopards eat deer, in order to survive. But if the deer can unite as one and trample the carnivores with their hooves, it is not against the natural path. From the brutal competition of superiority and inferiority, find the path of evolution that is in line with itself, but the ingestion of nature is controlled within a stable range."
Drusillia digested for a moment: "Then how the behavior of humans argued?"
"It is also natural that they crush other races through greater strength, the revival of the elves to fight back, it is all in the cycle of nature. Nature does not distinguish between good and evil, the ordinary definition of morality does not quite apply."
Lysatos slowed down a bit then said: "And then civilization, he is also a stage of natural evolution, if the balance of the earth can be maintained, then the reproduction of that race is in line with natural selection. War and death, are more subtle parts."
The princess pondered, finding that the golden dragon's argument suited Tia better, or at least suited her. Having the power of a druid to fight back against humans and revitalize Tyrian civilization was not against nature. Thinking this through, she felt happy.
"That's it for the theory, here's the practice."
The princess and the ranger were surprised: "Just these two sentences?"
"What you can understand is only a layer of the lake water, how deep the natural lake is, you have to dive down to know. Relax your body and concentrate your mind, and I will guide you to make contact with the great power of the earth."
In Lysatos's spiritual field of vision, the princess's seemed like a burgeoning fire, leaping with joy; the ranger was a subdued, dark wave of water, emitting a faint smell of blood.
Pulling both spirits out of the bonds of matter, carefully touching nature's will with their minds, which was easy for Lysatos, while the elves needed help to do so.
Nature's will is speechless, but full of life, all prosperity and decay. And the leafy forest is particularly concentrated in its power. Ramesirai hovered at the edge, and nature's will seemed to wonder why this elf was strong-minded and full of blood, hesitated for a while, and was finally kept out.
The ranger opened his eyes and shrugged indifferently, not expecting to succeed anyway. He trusts the bow and arrow on his back more than a nebulous being.
And Drusillia touched cautiously, and with a boom, the whole willed body perturbed, like an impatient groom, taking his lover into his arms.
Lysatos said, "Sit still."
"What?" Before Ramesh Lemmings could understand, a shock wave spread out from beneath the princess and instantly swept through the forest of Tyria. The ranger felt his body jump a little. As if a silent cry proclaiming the return of the forest's favorite, after a moment of silence, a fierce response followed.
The invisible whirlpool centered on the princess, the leaves and flowers fell for it in a silent welcome. The lake's waves boil, and an unknown number of aquatic animals leap up and chant the hymn of life. The steaming water vapor and clouds circled overhead, as if the eyes of the sky, casting a gentle gaze.
Rameshira looked at the exaggerated vision, amazed can not be self. Hora's eyes widened: "It's ... amazing! This level of response at the first monn is close to the Archdruid of the Father of Oaks."
Drusillia's talent is also beyond the Golden Dragon's expectations, it seems the land has been alone for too long and finally found the messenger who can listen to the voice of nature. But the overexcited nature would not take into account the princess' tolerance, and when she began to tremble, Lysatos immediately dragged the spirit out, and the vision gradually rested.
Drusillia opened her eyes and found the world different. The trees creaked and delivered a greeting, while smaller grasses and flowers, gathered into one will, sent out hazy thoughts. The breeze brushed by, and she could feel the difference in it. She lifted her hand and some strange and familiar power overflowed.
The princess tried to make it into a flame or a lightning bolt, but the power went nowhere and collapsed.
Lysatos said: "Perceive it! Not command or imagination, that is the way of the mage. Perceive the pulsation of the power, the degree of hot and cold, and then pass your feelings on, so that the perception of the two become one!"
The princess quieted her mind, sensing that the clamoring voices wished to enliven, not destroy. She coalesced a cloud of natural energy, obeyed the call of the lake, and plunged it into the water. Everyone waited with bated breath and saw a bulge form in the water, which Drusilla thought evoked some fish, but turned out to be water.
A cohesive mass of liquid struggled out of the water, exactly the same clear and translucent as the Shattered Star Lake. Irregular liquid creatures half a man high, no clear limbs, a few fish that did not get away in time to swim in the liquid. Leaning forward to dump the water, the water behind to make up for it, it just rolled and brushed against Druhilya, leaving wet tracks.
Druhilya stared at it in awe, filled with surprise and amazement. The palm of her hand gently stroked it, and the cool temperature imparted the sense of a child's attachment to its mother.
Hora said with heartfelt admiration, "A small miracle, this water elemental was not summoned from the elemental realm, but was born by Master Liya giving life to the idea of fusing with the lake."
Drusilla blushed and said, "Please don't call me 'master', I'm still just an apprentice."
"I'm sure, it's just a matter of time."
The princess looked to Lysatos, desperate for his praise.
Lysatos read her longing and said lightly, "Although it is only a small water element, it is the first elemental life of Saraph, relying on the lake behind it, and with careful care, it has an unlimited future. Give a name."
Although the tone was flat, the princess heard the affirmation, which made her even more delighted. "It already had a name long ago, it just showed up for the first time, it's called Shattered Star."
