幻化者手记 Transmogrifier's Notes

被莲食学派勒令不得向其他学派公开的笔记，据某位不愿透露姓名的学者说，可能是因为「家丑不能外扬」。 Notes that the Lotophagists banned from being shown to other schools. According to a scholar who wished to remain anonymous, this was likely because: "

莲食学派学者 克瑞修斯

Chryseos the Lotophagist

我确信自己看到了真实。不，也许是那些果实影响了我的判断？但这是我亲眼所见，绝不可能有错。我必须记录下来，即便这可能会给我带来麻烦。

I am certain that I have seen the truth. No, maybe those fruits affected my judgment? But I witnessed this all with my own eyes. There cannot be any mistake. I must record this, even if it gets me in trouble.

昨日，我在花园采集样本时发现了一株奇怪的植物——它长得真美，优雅如鹅颈般任意弯曲的藤蔓…还有光洁纯白又娇嫩的花瓣！也该是我运气好，正巧碰到了它结果的时节。我吞下它紫色果实。那味道异常甘甜，带着某种难以形容的芳香。只是不久后我就感到不适，喉咙不太舒服，头有些昏沉，像是感冒——是了，这个季节在花园里吹了这么久冷风，想来是着凉了！

Yesterday, I discovered a strange plant when I was collecting samples in the garden — it was extremely beautiful, with vines that could bend at will like an elegant goose's neck... And such smooth, pure white petals! I will chalk it up to good fortune that I happened across it while it was bearing fruit. I swallowed the purple fruits with pleasure. The taste was extraordinarily sweet, and the aroma was difficult to describe. Unfortunately, a little while later, I started to feel unwell and my throat began to hurt. My head grew hazy like I had a cold — That's right. The winds in the garden have been so frosty lately. I must have caught a cold!

我本想立即返回住处，却在经过花园时看到了不可思议的一幕。

I was going to go straight back home when I saw something unbelievable on my way back through the garden.

我竟看到美狄亚贤者独自站在月光下，她似乎没有注意到我。我看到她的身影开始扭曲、延展，仿佛树木生长的轨迹，却被压缩在了几个呼吸之间。她的手臂化作枝条，发丝变成藤蔓，皮肤上浮现出细密的纹路，就像年轮一样。最令人震惊的是，她开始与周围的植物交谈，用一种我从未听过的低语。

I saw Sage Medea standing alone in the moonlight! It seemed like she had not noticed me. I saw her body begin to twist and extend like the patterns of a growing tree, yet compressed down to the time it takes for a few breaths. Her arms transformed into branches, her hair into vines, and her skin became covered in fine lines like the rings of a tree. The most shocking part was that she began to speak to the surrounding plants in a whispering voice that I had never heard before.

我想这解释了为什么莲食学派能够如此精准地掌握植物的性质。贤者她并非在研究植物，她本身就是……

I think this explains why the Lotophagists can so accurately comprehend the true nature of plants. Their Sage was not just researching the plants. She herself was...

她本身就是植物…所以…她根本不是人！！！

She herself was a plant... so... She's not a person at all!!!

就算是，那也是化形为人的植物…或许可以简称为？等等，此事在树庭的典籍中好像有过类似记载。

Even if she is a person, she is a plant that can transform into a person... Maybe I can refer to her as...? Wait, I think there were similar records in the Grove archives.

我明白了！！！！！

I've got it!!!!!!

[笔迹突然变得潦草]

(The handwriting here suddenly becomes very messy)

有人来了。我听到走廊里有脚步声。不，那不是脚步声，更像是…枝条摩擦地面的声响？

Someone is coming. I can hear footsteps down the corridor. No, those aren't footsteps... they sound more like... the sound of branches dragging across a floor?

她发现了我！她发现我知道了她的秘密！不对，这究竟是她的「秘密」，亦或是我们学派的……等等，为什么当初那么热心地招揽我，还夸我富有研究植物的天分与热情…难道…难道我也会像美狄亚学者一样？我有点头绪了……

She's found me! She knows that I know her secret! No, is this her "secret," or the secret of our school... Wait a second. Why was she so eager to recruit me in the first place? She even said that I had a great talent and passion for plant research... Could it be... Am I going to end up the same as Medea? I'm starting to get an idea...

[在笔记最后一页夹着一张便签，字迹明显出自他人之手]

(There is a memo written on the final page of these notes, clearly in another person's handwriting.)

此手记于光历3745年机缘月在智慧花园的灌木丛中被发现。经查证，克瑞修斯确实在当日误食了幻形草的果实，此物以引发强烈幻觉著称。他本人已被送往休养，望早日康复。

These notes were discovered in the bushes of the Garden of Wisdom during the Month of Fortune, Light Calendar Year 3745. After investigation, it has been confirmed that Chryseos had indeed mistakenly ingested the fruit of a plant that is known for causing intense hallucinations. He has been sent to recovery. May he feel better soon.
