Chapter 9 The Little Fairy Appears

The ancient pass in the west of the Fair Kingdom has always been relatively deserted. Because the lord of Delaw County, the tax on business trips to and from here is not lower than elsewhere, and on the other side of the pass is a vast desert, so whether it is from Sulu or the New Asia consortium, it is basically not I am willing to enter and exit the border of the kingdom from this road. Although it is much closer for Sier to go directly through the desert from the ancient pass to the royal city of Grusidia than other roads, the rampant desert thieves is really a big trouble for the caravan. Therefore, they would rather take the windy hills or even go around the edge of the continent by sea to reach the port at the southern end of the Kingdom of Fell.

But now he can't go by sea. The dark prince Panqi occupies Pingxia Island while expanding his army, which is regarded as the most dangerous cancer by the king and the church. Although the dark prince never robbed merchant ships at sea, in order not to let him sit any bigger, the king issued a sea ban to prevent anyone from secretly transporting supplies to Pingxia Island or trading with Panenqi with food and weapons.

In this case, the inactive commercial activities in the kingdom have been further suppressed.

After Meggie and the Druid girl arrived at the Guai Pass, they handed over customs duties to the guard soldiers like other passers-by. Zia has never had any idea about coins. Fortunately, Meiji has a certain understanding of coins because she has been in the Black Moon Tavern, which is equivalent to the Adventurers' Guild for a period of time. What he uses to pay customs duties is the Ferstow double coin issued by the church, which is easy to carry*. These * were collected by him from the pockets of the dead Suli, warriors and priests. Because he did not allow them to carry gold coins that might make noise when he entered the fog girl forest, he could only find these * from their relics.

After asking someone about the way, because he was too lazy to walk and didn't have much money-saving concept in his mind, Meiji decided to spend some money to take a carriage to the next post station. The standard seat of a carriage is eight people, but in fact, the driver didn't wait until the sixth, so he was not satisfied with the road. Along the way, I also passed some less lively markets. Since she has never been out of the village of the Kyle people, and she has never been to Sol Village on the other side of the Fog Girl Forest, Zia is very interested in everything she sees on the road. From time to time, she pulls Meggie to ask questions, and Meggie doesn't know much about these things well, and she is often speechless by her.

Fortunately, an old man next to his seat helped him answer Qi Ya's questions from time to time, and he talked about it in detail.

"Are you going out for the first time?" While Qi Ya was only looking out, the old man asked Meiji, "I heard that your accent is more northerner, but how can you go from Guai'ai to Wangcheng?"

"Oh, she and I are partners in the same village," Meiji shrugged his shoulders. "That's Sol Village in the northeast corner of the kingdom. We came out to find a companion. We thought he was in the distant desert, so we took a detour from the cold windy hills into the desert. As a result, we heard that he went to Wangcheng, so we had to come in from the ancient Aipass again. He told a little lie. After all, no one will believe such things as going straight from Sol Village through the Fog Girl Forest into the distant desert.

"Sol Village? That's the favorite place for adventurers. You don't look like adventurers. The old man narrowed his eyes slightly and moved the rough walking stick on his leg to avoid being poked by others when the carriage turned the corner.

"We are just ordinary people who live there, not adventurers." Meiji answered. In fact, he felt that his answer was very smart, because in the kingdom, no adventurer would publicly say that he was an adventurer... Of course, he was not an adventurer in the first place, so it didn't matter whether he answered "smart" or not.

In the afternoon, they arrived at the station ahead. Meiji was about to rent a room at the post station to sleep for a night and then go on the road tomorrow. At this time, the old man secretly grabbed him.

"Aren't you want to go to Wangcheng early to find your friends?" The old man whispered, "Actually, if you continue on the road now and cross the Wellwinds Mountain in front of you, you can reach the town on the other side of Wellwinds Mountain before dark, so that you can save a lot of time."

"Then why don't others do this?" Meiji asked.

"That's because they don't know that there is a shortcut directly through Mount Wells," the old man squinted and smiled, "but I know."

"Really?" Megsy is a little suspicious.

"Actually, my son lives in a small town at the end of the mountain," the old man sighed and rubbed the corners of his eyes, as if he had squeezed out a few tears. "He wrote to me that he was terminally ill and I'm afraid he won't live tomorrow. I have to rush to that town tonight, but occasionally some beasts run out of that shortcut. I'm an old man, and it will be bad if I meet them. So I want to find more people to accompany me on the road, so that the beast will not dare to come out when it sees that we are many people.

What he said is a more reasonable reason, but Meiji is not a fool. In fact, he has aroused interest now... What is worth this old man to deceive him? Or does he have any other purpose? For example, he raised a female monkey in the mountain and wanted to trick a handsome young man like himself to sleep with his mother monkey daughter. Or, he always fell in love with Qi Ya and was ready to beat himself to death with a stick after entering the mountain and then kill Qi Ya first or something. ?

In a word, he has thought of a lot of reasons for this old man to lie to himself and Qi Ya to go into the mountain with him, and one of the most boring is that he is telling the truth. If this old guy is not lying... it's really boring.

"Okay, let's go now." He looked at the old man expectantly and couldn't wait to be in the mountain now.

The old man also squinted at him, and his smile seemed to have caught a big fish.

They began to go on the road in the surprised eyes of others, and the old man took them on a path full of weeds. Later, he gasped while walking on crutches, which made Meggie doubt what he could do to himself and Zia. If he is not going to do anything, why did he run to the mountain with an old immortal guy?

The sun gradually moved to the west mountain, leaving only some golden afterglow slanting on the mountainside. They walked along the mountainside for a while and came to a mountain gorge, which seemed to be filled with fog, which surprised Meggie. In fact, this makes him feel a little like the fog girl forest. Of course, the darkness and danger in the fog girl forest are deep-seated, and this place is much more pediatric, but it is indeed somewhat similar to some extent.

"I'm tired of walking." Zi Ya yawned beside him, "I'm not leaving. I'll become an eagle and rest on your shoulder."

"Wait a minute," Meiji looked back at the old man who was still struggling to walk towards him in the distance. "Wait a minute."

If this old guy really has something like an ambush, the Drew girl who can transform is their secret weapon.

"Then you have to carry me on your back."

"Hey..." Meiji shouted, "Don't you see that I'm tired too?"

"I don't care." The girl jumped on his back, causing him to lose his weight and fall to the ground.

"You are so useless." Zia sat on his buttocks and complained.

Meggie was sulking and felt that she had no pain in running around with her. He should go back to Sol Village, have nothing to do, eat when he is hungry, and secretly take off his daughter's trousers while Father Chuba is not paying attention... What a perfect day.

"Don't press me, get up quickly."

"No," Qi Ya pouted, "I'm tired. I want to rest."

"Then don't sit on my ass..."

"I can't help it. Your buttocks are the softest here."

Your breasts are also soft. Should I sit on it next time? Meiji thought depressedly.

At this moment, there was a sound of singing from behind them. Meiji lay on the ground and struggled to turn her head, and then saw the old man dancing crutches, reading strange sentences to him and Ziya.

"Magician... No, is it a dark magician?" Meiji was shocked. Although he was also guessing whether the old man had hidden some kind of strength, he still didn't expect that he could do magic. Generally speaking, if you want to become a master of magic, you must find some powerful and reliable source of magic, such as signing agreements with gods or demons, or trading with supernatural creatures such as little witches and magic fairies that can naturally convert magic. His mother, Black Annes, taught him some knowledge to judge which method those wizards use to get magic. But dark magicians are exceptions among wizards. They are either proud or stubborn, or they may not want their souls to fall into the hands of horrible beings such as demons after death. In short, they would rather rely on themselves to touch the magic elements lost in nature than rely on other creatures. However, because the human body is not suitable for storing magic, these dark magicians often have rich magic theories, but cannot use high-level witchcraft.

This old man is a dark magician.

With the end of the singing, countless vines came out from the ground, entangling Meiji thoroughly. Fortunately, Qi Ya also reacted quickly. She shook her body and turned into a female eagle to escape from the vines. She flew into the air and took her body apart and rushed to the old man. The old man just took out a net from his body and sprinkled it on her.

Zi Ya suddenly turned into a black bear and was ready to tear the net with the old guy. However, as soon as she touched the net, the Drui's divine power flowing on her body suddenly disappeared. She turned back to the girl and fell to the ground, stunned in the net, and didn't know what had happened.

"I have long seen that you are a Drui," the old man smiled. "As long as you are trapped by my special net, any unnatural force on your body will disappear."

"Dead old man, what do you want to do?" Meiji, who was tightly bound by vines, shouted. Yes, he was very angry, not angry that the old man attacked him, but that he had failed so much. The old man saw that Ziya was a Druid, but he failed to see that the dead old man was a dark magician... This was simply a failure. If he had known that he could do magic, Meiji would have taken his crutches at the beginning, threw him away, tied him with a rope, gagged his mouth with a cloth to prevent him from chanting spells, and then beat him and let him lead the way, so as to see how he used magic.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you for the time being." The old man pulled Zia with a net and dragged her to Meiji's side. He is very strong and looks very energetic. It can be imagined that the tired appearance in front of him is simply pretending.

"You are a good person, aren't you?" Meiji looked at him innocently, "You're just joking with us and will let us go soon, right? I mean...you are a good old man...cough, good grandpa..."

"Bah," the old man knocked him hard with his cane, "his face became faster. Just now, it was clear that he was still eager for someone to find trouble for you, and now he has become a pug. Didn't anyone tell you that you look disgusting?"

"Yes..." Meiji muttered. Su Li said that.

The old man is too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. First, he found a very thick rope from nowhere, and before getting Qi Ya out of the net, he tied her tightly. In order to prevent her from escaping, he also added several spells on her. For Meji, he just kicked two feet first, and then tied them up casually... This made Meji feel that the old man's ability to look at people was very good.

"It's getting dark, we have to hurry up." The old man said to himself. He pulled Megsy and Zia into the valley and stopped in a dense forest. Then, he first spread the strange net on an open space, pulled out a rope head to the distance, covered it with soil for camouflage, and then moved Meggie to the center of the net. There is no doubt that he is making a trap, and Megsy is the bait he threw in the trap.

The old man added a weakness to him, then untied his rope, took out a small bottle and sprinkled some floral ** around him. Then, he took out a sharp knife and shook it in front of Meiji: "Hold on, it won't hurt, hey hey."

"Wait a minute." Meiji looked at him put the tip of the knife on his wrist and only felt a cold sweat. "Are you trying to catch the little fairy Frey?"

"You are very smart." The old man looked at him.

Fly is a magical fairy, very small, about the same size as a butterfly, and also has wings and tentacles like a butterfly. It's just that their wings are transparent, similar to little girls, and they often hold small wands in their hands. It is their nature to like magic. Because they can easily access various natural elements and convert them into magic, but they can't fully exert the transformed magic because of their thin bodies, they are often willing to sign magic contracts with some human beings who are eager to get magic sources.

"Do you want to catch Frey and force it to sign a contract?" Meiji asked. Because the human side is often at a disadvantage when signing such a magic contract, although they get the source of magic, they usually pay a small price. Especially in the face of evil creatures such as demons or little witches who like to play word games, how to avoid being exploited by the other party and causing their gains and losses is a headache for every magician. Therefore, it is also a way to put yourself in a more favorable negotiating position through some kind of advance preparation before signing the contract. However, this method often also contains huge risks. Once upon a time, there was a female magician named Liu's Shuixin who summoned a powerful hell demon through a very complex summoning ceremony and trapped it in the magic array to force it to sign a contract, but accidentally made a mistake in the demon step out of the magic array in the last step. As a result, he was caught by it for more than 100 times before he died with hatred.

"Sign a contract with Frey? No, no," the old man said disdainfully, "I'm a dignified magician. The kind of guy who relies on begging to use magic seems to me is not much different from a dog."

"Then you want to..."

"I just want to see," the old man picked up the knife and looked coldly at the sharp light on the blade. "What's the difference between the structure of the little witch and the human body? Why can they come into direct contact with natural elements, but human beings can't."

"..." turned out to be a pervert.

"You'd better not make trouble for me," the old man looked at Meiji with a sneer. "Your companion is still in my hands. If you can't catch Frey, I'll take off her clothes and let her taste the man first, and then..."

"Hey, grandpa, are you okay at your age? Don't leak it before you poke it in..."

"Listen to me," the old man said angrily, "then I will cut her open one by one and study how Druii changed his appearance."

"It doesn't matter," Meiji doesn't care. "You will die before that. Alas, you are still thinking about it at a young age. Let me tell you, Ziya can't be underescaping..."

"Dead Meiji, do you care about me?" Ziya shouted angrily.

"I just want him to retreat..."

"Dead old man, tell him that if he is disobedient, you can take off his clothes and insert his OO with your thing to see if he dares to say anything."

"Ziya, you... you are so cruel!"

"Shut up, you two!" The old man looked at them with black lines and then slammed Meggie's wrist.

Meggie gritted her teeth in pain.

*

The moon slowly moved to the top of the valley and covered it, emitting light spots one after another among the forests. The light spots flew and dissipated, and then reappeared somewhere.

When she first arrived here, Meiji felt that this valley was a little similar to the fog forest, which was not wrong. In this valley, like the fog girl forest, there are unnatural creatures, but the scope is not as wide as the fog girl forest, and the species and number are much less.

At this time, his wrist was still bleeding, and the old man cut skillfully, which not only prevented his wound from healing by itself, but also kept him from bleeding and dying prematurely. This feeling of quietly waiting for death was really not interesting.

Next to his right hand, there is a small symbol that he secretly drew under the old man's attention when he still has a little strength.

What if the little forest fairy to be captured by the dead old man does not appear? He will die here, and Zi Ya will really be dissected by the dead old man.

It's all Joshua's fault. Who made him like to run around when he has nothing to do? And Zia, it's also responsible for you to go to Joshua. So, if you die under the knife of the dead old man, don't blame me... Well, I admit that I also have a little mistake. I shouldn't want to go in with him just because I want to know what the old man will play. Mountain. But in contrast, your fault is so big, and my fault is just such a small point, so... you really won't blame me, will you?

"They will blame you." Someone said to him in his mind.

"No, because they are also at fault." Meiji also answered in his mind.

"Your fault is bigger."

"Who said that?" Meiji was angry, "Their fault is even bigger. My fault is only a small point."

"They blame you not because you made a mistake, but because you are too stupid."

"Nonsense, why am I stupid?"

"You haven't figured out who is talking to you yet. Isn't it stupid enough?" That voice jingled with laughter.

What makes you jingle like this when you laugh? He reluctantly opened his eyes wide, and then saw a little forest fairy hiding from a branch protruding obliquely above his head.

Of course, it is not uncommon to see a Frey here, otherwise the old man would not have chosen to set a trap here. Strangely, this little Frie could sneak into his mind and talk to him directly without making a sound. He never knew when the little forest fairy had such a ability.

"Because I'm not an ordinary Frey, little Megji." The voice of the little fairy sounded in his mind again.

"Do you know me?" Meiji asked.

"Of course, because I came from the fog girl forest. When you were a child, I went to your mother to ask for some knowledge about magic. She knew a lot, very much."

"She is dead."

"Yes, I'm sorry." The little fairy said, " Not long after her death, I left the fog girl forest, because there was nothing to miss. I just didn't expect to see you here.

"This is a trap," Meggie said. "There is a net under me that can temporarily lose magic from anything locked in it, and even Fury is no exception."

"Well, I guessed it as soon as I saw the elf symbol you drew," the little fairy said, "that means danger. The net that can make the little forest fairies lose their magic is indeed a very effective trap. Generally speaking, Frey can't tolerate people dying on their own territory, and they rarely leave their residence. They are inexperienced and curious. In addition, they are likely to be caught. Well, now that I know, little Megji, thank you for your kind reminder. Good luck and goodbye.
