Chapter 1037 1019 Daughter of the River Asylum


Chapter 1037 1019. Shelter of the River Daughter

“Please forgive me.”

Tom Bombadil, who was walking happily in front and leading the way, repeated it again.

"Excuse me, my guest from afar."

This forest does not look 'friendly', with many shadows cast by the branches hanging over the path, and on these trees, Most of them have distorted and proliferated wood tumors.

Just like the old willow tree, after looking at it for a long time, these wood tumors seem to have the outline of a human face. He was looking down at the people passing by on the path.

But Lan En only looked left and right occasionally. On the contrary, Qilin and Linbuqiu, who were following behind, seemed to be looking at the surrounding trees with great vigilance because of the old willow tree.

As if afraid that there will be another branch that looks like a living thing, it whips at me suddenly and violently.

"No, Old Tom." Lan said softly, "What do you want me to forgive? I don't quite understand."

"Ah" Tom Bombadil took the He smiled awkwardly and raised his hand to scratch his forehead under the brim of his pointed hat.

"Please forgive me for bringing you here, but when I went out to pick you up, I was enjoying the flowers and grass on the road and forgot all about the business."

Old Tom said apologetically. .

What if in the Magical Middle Ages, an old man could dispel the thunder clouds summoned by Qilin without making a sound, and also beat an ancient tree man with a wooden stick until it looked like his erring grandson.

If Lan En said that he forgot about business because he was admiring the scenery, Lan En would probably not believe it.

But strangely, following Old Tom, Lan felt that this statement was not inconsistent at all.

The little old man walked briskly and happily in front of the tall demon hunter, as if just walking made him feel happy.

This man has a unique temperament that makes Lan En feel relaxed and happy.

And ‘I brought you here’?

"Tom, do you mean that you modified the connection point of the celestial sphere's intersection?"

If people made it so clear, Lan En was not going to be careless.

If faced with ordinary aborigines, Lan En would most likely say that he "comes from some distant country", which is quite effective most of the time.

“You call this phenomenon the [Celestial and Spherical Convergence]? Ah, this is actually not very accurate. After all, the world was not spherical as it is now many years ago, but round and square!”

Tom raised the brim of his hat and turned his head back, showing Lan En a kind and happy smile.

"I call it 'the little wave of the void'."

"It's just a matter of name." Lan En shrugged indifferently. This simple action annoyed Tom for a while. laughing out loud.

The lady in the lake said that she had made friends in this world, probably a very long time ago.

But this at least shows that this world is not absolutely hostile to visitors from outside the world.

This is one of the reasons why Lan told Tom the truth directly.

Walking with Tom Bombadil, no one would probably feel awkward or reserved. Although Lan and he had only known each other for a few minutes, their conversation was natural and comfortable, not at all. The exhaustion of looking for topics and worrying about the atmosphere.

On the other hand, Qilin and Rongbuqiu kept observing their surroundings, looking a little tired.

As we walked, the slope of the path began to rise, and the sound of gurgling water entered our ears.

All the 'unfriendliness' they felt in the woods before disappeared. The forest had come to an end, and they stepped onto a circle of green grass.

The meandering river became turbulent here, seeming to welcome their arrival with a smile.

Lan took a step forward and stepped onto the grass at Tom's warm invitation. The grass is soft and neat, and must be taken care of regularly.

The path was now a lovely stone path, leading all the way to the top of a dome, and then up and down the top of the dome to a warm light.

Tom was warm and attentive, as hospitable a host could be.

He led the witcher, Cologne, and Ellecat to where the light was, which was Tom Bombadil's home.

As soon as they stepped onto the stone path, a crisp and beautiful song came over. The beauty of the song was almost like gurgling water.

"Ah! Jinberry is also welcoming you, guests! Come quickly!"

Singing, although they have only been in this world for a few hours, Lan En and the others have already Three pieces of singing were heard.

Old Willow relied on singing to unleash illusions and confuse people. Tom always sang cheerfully, and now it was a beautiful voice.

They walked through the path, and Flannel Ball and Lan entered the house at Tom's invitation.

Qilin was not led to the stable. Old Tom opened the window of the living room and prepared a comfortable thick mat for Qilin by the window.

This is extremely meticulous care.

Flannel Ball stood in the foyer and looked up curiously, while Lan En had to lower his head slightly to avoid looking directly at the oil lamp hanging on the ceiling.

This is a long, low room, with oil lamps and candles on the table emitting warm light.

At the other end of the room, a woman was sitting on a chair facing the door.

She has shiny golden shoulder-length hair, and her green dress is dotted with silver threads that sparkle like dewdrops. At her feet were many clay pots with beautiful and fragrant lotus flowers floating in them.

Lan En and Velvet Ball almost feel like she is floating in the lotus pond.

"Come in quickly, my good guest!"

As soon as she spoke, her voice matched the touching singing voice before. "Hello, beautiful madam."

Lan En bowed slightly forward and saluted.

But he performed perfectly, but the flannel ball was not so good.

The kitten was at a loss and gave a soft 'meow' sound, looking at its boss as if asking for help.

It felt that it was simply clumsy now. Originally, it thought it was going to a simple forest hut to ask for some water, but as a result, the door opened, and what came out to greet was a figure like the Queen of Elf.

But before the velvet ball almost stretched out its claws from the ball in embarrassment, the hostess lightly stepped over the water basin at her feet and walked towards them, her skirt flowing with her steps. The gentle breeze blew through the flower beds by the river.

She first raised her head and smiled at Lan En, then squatted down and held the two front paws of the flannel ball.

"You're welcome, please." She held the flannel ball and brought the helpless kitten to the dining table. Kirin's big head happened to stick out from the window next to it.

“I am the River Daughter, Goldenberry.”

Jinberry looked at Qilin and Velvet Ball.

"It seems that you are still wary of the xenophobic wild creatures outside? Don't worry, because this place is under the protection of Tom Bombadil!"

Her tone was He declared this as a matter of course.

‘River Daughter’ and ‘Shelter’. These two unusual words made Lan En understand something in his heart.

"Sit down! Sit down, everyone! Let us greet you!"

Tom shouted enthusiastically, and at the same time he and Goldberry began to rush in and out. It's just that Jinberry's movements are always as graceful as a dance, and can even make those watching feel an auditory hallucination with a soundtrack.

Old Tom is much more lively and unrestrained. And it is undeniable that even though the two of them have different styles, they always match each other very well.

Qilin also put its head in the window and looked at it curiously. Its hooves made a thumping sound on the wooden floor outside.

Then he raised his head, and the Qilin's horns hit the window frame, making a 'bang' sound, and Qilin himself screamed in surprise.

“Oh, it seems that this friend is still a little uncomfortable outside. Come on, let Old Tom adjust.”

With that said, Tom ran out on his short legs, mumbling and singing a ditty as he walked.

"Old Tom is a happy guy~He is wearing a light blue coat~The yellow boots are warm~"

"Ms. Goldberry, please forgive my ignorant question."

Lan En looked away from the back of the short old man who had just left the house, and spoke cautiously after considering the address.

Goldberry placed the dinner plates on the polished and shiny black wood table while looking at Lan En with a smile.

"I have a general idea, but I still want to confirm it with you."

Lan En brushed the silver hair that fell in front of his eyes behind his ears. Jinberry looked at his face with praise and appreciation. .

The witcher smiled and asked seriously.

"Tom Bombadil, who is this person named?"

"That's him." Jinberry still maintained an elegant smile and movements. "The man you look at as he walks out the door. The owner of forests, waters and hills."

"Then the above-mentioned 'forests, rivers and hills', does the entire land belong to him?"

"Of course not, dear guest."

The look on Jinberry's face The smile gradually faded, this was the first time since they met.

"That is too heavy a burden. All creatures born and raised here have autonomous rights. Tom Bombadil is just the master. No force can interfere with him. He is just the master."< br>
“This description seems a bit too poetic.”

As Lan En spoke, he took the silver tableware handed over by Jinberry and helped arrange the flannel balls next to him.

"It's fine for poetry, but for self-introduction, please forgive me, I can't understand it."

"Then, why don't you ask him yourself? He I will definitely tell you everything I know.”

Jinberry smiled kindly.

“Yes! Why don’t you just ask me?”

Old Tom opened the door with a creak and his short figure walked in with a high head.

"And what's wrong with poetry? Poetry and music, I say, there is nothing more inspiring in the world!"

"Goldberry! Let's get ready. Is the table filled with yellow cheese, pure honey, white bread and fresh butter? "

"Of course, everything is ready"

Goldenberry pulls for Tom. Old Tom opened the chair, and Old Tom was not polite. He jumped on it, turned his head and turned behind him, and smiled gratefully at Jinberry.

"Then let's eat and drink, guests. Eat, drink, chat, and get to know each other. Ha! I haven't seen the guests for a long time!"
