BXBX NOVEL Chapter 238 238: Flower Forest
Leah took a deep breath and told Yoze everything he experienced in his dream with vivid descriptions that could only be accomplished if one lived through it. The sound of the fire, the atmosphere, the smell of the smoke, the individual voices of the witches, and their transformed bodies.
He described everything to Yoze, hoping he could find a clue on how to best deal with this situation. After saying everything he wanted to say, he looked up at Yoze and waited for him to digest all the information.
"Spirit of the Goat Demon? Is he talking about the shape of spiritual energy?"
Yoze\'s mind raced as he went through the details of Leah\'s dreams and analyzed everything he could. The clearest thing that he realized was that this was a hundred percent, not a simple dream and most likely a dream heavily influenced by a hidden memory.
The second thing was that from Leah\'s description, the witches in his dream were much more powerful than a witch like Dreyer or himself. For them to be able to transform their bodies into a form that was part demon and animal showed that their level of witchcraft was easily in the Cursed Witch level.
There was a higher chance that this Laq character was even a Titled Witch if the rest of the witches in the dream were his disciples. So for Leah to gain the attention of a Titled Witch and be told that he could become a demon quickly attracted Yoze\'s interest.
The first connection he could draw was that the spirit of a Goat demon could have been a reference to the shape of Leah\'s spiritual energy. It would make sense that the form of spiritual energy would have some unique properties unrelated to its color and size.
So far, when it came to demons, the only thing that seemed to matter was that specific colors seemed to have certain special properties. The amount of spiritual energy played an important role as well. Still, it wasn\'t something unique to each type of spiritual energy.
The only thing that Yoze didn\'t know was how the shape of spiritual energy played a part in the world of spiritual energy. Since only demons seemed to have substantial control over spiritual energy, he could only get a few clues on how the shape of spiritual energy played an important role in the world of spiritual energy.
One of his theories was that the shape of spiritual energy gave a hidden quality or was an indicator of a hidden quality of the person. For example, when he met the child detective back in New Swampscott City and saw that his spiritual energy was in the shape of a dog, it could have been that his sense of smell was extremely advanced.
Or that any superior quality that a dog possessed over humans was given to that child detective. Or when it came to the teenage detective whose spiritual energy was in the shape of glasses, her vision could be otherworldly.
There could be millions of qualities that each shape of spiritual energy could give or be an indicator for. But to be sure, he would have to experiment with whether people with certain spiritual shapes had common advantages over others.
"I should go ahead with that experiment when I get back to New Swampscott City. This could be a giant breakthrough in my understanding of spiritual energy."
"As for the other details of Leah\'s dream, there isn\'t much information we can use currently. The location of his dream, the appearance of the witches, and the mysterious green light that flew in front of him inside the pot were things they would have to investigate over time."
"However, if we were able to trigger this dream a few more times, Leah might recall more things about his past life."
"Leah, I have some good news and some bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?" Yoze said to Leah after thinking to himself for a few minutes.
"The bad news," Leah said nervously.
"Well, I still have no clue whether we can deal with this weird hidden memory of yours. And unless you have a clue on what triggered you to have this dream, you will likely have to figure it out step by step." Yoze said with a calm voice.
"That makes sense. What is the good news?"
"The good news is that you might be able to become extremely powerful in the future, or you might have a whole crew of powerful witches waiting for your return," Yoze said again.
"How is that the good news? I thought it would be that you might have figured out where the location of that dream was or that he knew someone who could help me." Leah felt his mood fall as he felt a heavy sense of pressure on his shoulders.
"Well, in any case, you are probably a failed experiment which is why you were tossed aside and not being worshiped as a Goat demon god right now. That should at least give you the comfort that you probably are not being pursued right now." Yoze smiled as he gave Leah a bit more hope.
"I guess that I feel better knowing that I most likely can continue to live my life as I did before. But what about getting revenge for what had happened to my past life?"
"It will eat me from the inside, knowing I could have lived an entirely different life as a human prince. Living leisurely, eating as much as I want, and being able to do whatever I want would be amazing." Leah\'s eyes sparkled with desire as he spoke about his potential to live the life of a prince.
"If you want to be a prince, you should not have resisted that witch\'s offer to become the Goat demon. From the sounds of your dream, your past life was more likely a child of a poor town than royalty." Yoze quickly replied.
"I guess you are right,"
"Okay, thanks for helping me out, Yoze. But let\'s hurry to Flower Forest so I can find a good spot to hide away from those witches." Leah said casually, recovering from his initial disappointment.
"Alright,"
Even though Yoze had thought that this experience would have signaled to Leah the importance of strength in this dangerous world, he couldn\'t blame him, seeing that Leah still preferred to remain hidden in a forest helping people.
With such a firm belief that helping people was more important than protecting his own life, Yoze couldn\'t help but look at Leah differently. If it wasn\'t for Leah\'s help, his father would have long died without Leah\'s medicine.
And if he never met Leah, his entire life would have been drastically different. His father would have most likely died due to age before he could have found out that he had siblings and thus would have never decided to leave Jade City.
If he never left Jade City, he would never have discovered that Emerald Town had been massacred and had become the home ground of his first abnormality. Nor would he have ever encountered the Serpent demon egg that allowed him to get his first spiritual body talent, becoming the foundation of his power.
For better or for worse, his entire fate would have changed regardless. So Yoze made a mental note that even though Leah was planning on going on his own path from now on, he would still help him out whenever he could.
After making that decision, Yoze picked up Leah up him on his back before racing down Dego Mountain and continuing their journey. It was only half a day later when they encountered a large strange forest that blocked their way.
In this strange forest, all the trees had been miniaturized to the size of flowers, while the flowers of this forest were hundreds of feet tall and took over the place of trees. The pleasant scent of flowers overwhelmed the familiar smell of ordinary forests as a calm atmosphere loomed throughout the strange forest.
Sharing a single glance, Leah and Yoze knew that they had finally arrived at Leah\'s new home. The beautiful Flower Forest where the Flower had overtaken to become the trees of this forest while the trees were this forest\'s flowers.
Even though Yoze never expected that the Flower Forest would differ from what he imagined by such a large extent, he could believe that Leah was interested in living in this special forest. The forest seemed to be plagued with a curse of peace, as it even seemed that all the animals in this forest were herbivores.
"Want to take a look inside?" Leah said to Yoze with disbelief in his voice.
"Yeah," Yoze replied to Leah with the same level of excitement in his voice.
Having decided that they would explore this strange forest, Yoze and Leah entered the forest. They could immediately notice that the pleasant smell of the flowers became more potent the moment they stepped inside. A blast of aromas entered their nostrils, filling their lungs as they felt as if they had entered a forest for immortals.
