Chapter 43: Hasty Knighthood

~7 min read 1,294 words

The gold coin in his hand was more than twice the size of an ordinary one-yuan coin, and it felt heavy in his hand.

The gold coin was dark gold overall.

On the front was a picture of a weird big tree, the trunk of the tree was very thick, and the cracked bark looked like mouths full of sharp teeth. And the crown of the tree was less like branches and leaves, and more like rough tentacles.

The back was covered with runes that Xie Yaoyao couldn't understand, and these runes were crooked and had no regularity at all.

"Who would forge such a weird gold coin?!"

Xie Yaoyao flicked the gold coin with his thumb, and it rolled in the air a few times before being caught by him again.

It had no entries but was extremely hard. If Xie Yaoyao hadn't seen with his own eyes the Witch extracting Little Red Riding Hood's destiny power and transferring it to this gold coin, he would have thought it was just an ordinary gold coin.

Now that Xie Yaoyao, who had equipped the 【Wild Druid】 entry, could roughly guess the ability of the 【Witch of the Forest】 entry.

Although it must be magic related to plants, it would definitely not be turning himself into that mushroom monster.

Then the Witch turning into that ghost was most likely related to this gold coin in front of him.

And the weird pattern on the gold coin made Xie Yaoyao have some bad associations, which made him afraid to try to touch this gold coin with the power of nature in his body.

"Forget it, if it's really related to the thing I guessed, then not touching it is the correct approach."

Xie Yaoyao said to himself as if to persuade himself, and then prepared to put this weird gold coin away.

"Bad luck! I worked so hard to get something I can look at but can't touch, it would be better to give me another entry, even if it's that 【Divination】 one... holy crap! The Witch, that idiot, wouldn't have been doing divination on this thing, would she!"

Xie Yaoyao stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the gold coin in his hand.

It couldn't be wrong!

Everything made sense!

No wonder the Witch turned into that ghost!

If this thing was really related to the thing he guessed, then doing divination on it was a behavior a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times more suicidal than touching it directly!

Xie Yaoyao couldn't stop trembling all over.

If, if everything was true, then this world was ten thousand times more terrifying than he imagined!

Dark Fairytale World! This is really dark enough!

What should I do?!

Can I just quit now and not play anymore?!

Xie Yaoyao had a tearful face, and at this time he had completely lost the high spirits he had when he was assigning entries just now.

Sensing the change in Xie Yaoyao's mood, Helai'er on his shoulder asked strangely.

"Gaa-gaa! Yao! What's wrong with you? Why have you suddenly become so depressed?"

Heh, depressed, I haven't gone crazy directly, it's already God's blessing.

Taking a deep breath, Xie Yaoyao calmed down.

No matter what, knowing this kind of thing early is always better than realizing it when it's too late.

"I'm fine, Helai'er, I'm just a little worried about Little Red Riding Hood!"

At this time, the golden entry 【Child of Destiny】 on Little Red Riding Hood's head was already a bit blurry, and it was constantly fading, which indeed made Xie Yaoyao a little worried that the little guy wouldn't be able to hold on.

Even if it had nothing to do with the mission, Xie Yaoyao couldn't bear to watch such a little girl have an accident.

"Gaa-gaa! Little Red Riding Hood will be fine, the Witch gave her Water of Life."

Helai'er's words made Xie Yaoyao immediately remember that Helai'er and Lilisi had indeed said on the way here that the Witch had prepared this so-called Water of Life.

It seems the Witch was also afraid that Little Red Riding Hood's body wouldn't be able to withstand the invasion of the magic ritual and die prematurely, eventually leading to her failure to extract the 【Child of Destiny】 entry.

Helai'er's words made Xie Yaoyao feel much more at ease. After supplementing the little guy with another shot of the power of nature, Xie Yaoyao and Helai'er sat quietly to the side and waited.

Time passed bit by bit, and the dim 【Child of Destiny】 entry finally couldn't hold on, shattered and dissipated.

The moment the 【Child of Destiny】 entry disappeared, Little Red Riding Hood's painful and tangled little face relaxed, and her eyes slowly opened.

At the same time, a new entry formed on Little Red Riding Hood's head.

【Princess】, purple profession entry! The pearl of the kingdom, the heroine of the world, every princess is unique! Bless you, Princess Naili Wiersalaze!

"Brother Yao? Helai'er!"

"Gaa-gaa! Princess is awake! Princess is awake! Eh!"

Helai'er seemed to have discovered something wrong, but seemed to have discovered nothing.

And Xie Yaoyao knew that Little Red Riding Hood's destiny had completely disappeared, and what remained was just Princess Naili Wiersalaze!

This might be a good thing, who knows!

Xie Yaoyao gave a hehe laugh and said gently.

"Princess! Don't worry, the bad Witch has been defeated! Now, how do you feel?"

Little Red Riding Hood sat up, looked left and right, then got up and walked two steps, and finally said with a smile.

"I'm fine! Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Hunter! You and your crow saved me, His Majesty the King will reward you!"

After speaking, Little Red Riding Hood held the sides of her skirt with both hands and curtsied.

Looking at Little Red Riding Hood, whose personality had changed drastically, Xie Yaoyao's smile remained unchanged, and he also bowed with one hand on his chest.

Just at this moment, the sound of people and horses neighing came from outside the door.

"Princess, I think the people who came to take you back have arrived, let's go out!"

Sure enough, the King and Queen were wearing gorgeous clothes, and under Lilisi's guidance, they arrived with a large group of people.

Seeing that the princess was fine, the Queen took her daughter into her arms.

"Oh! My poor little Naili! It's great that you're fine, do you know how worried I was about you?"

"Mother, I'm fine, let you and Father worry!"

Everyone was completely unaware of Little Red Riding Hood's changes, and it seemed that they all felt that the Princess had always been so beautiful and generous.

The little figure who used to hide behind the Queen didn't exist at all.

Xie Yaoyao had to sigh at the power of the golden entry.

The King on the side looked to be in his sixties, with majesty mixed with vicissitudes, looking consistent with all Xie Yaoyao's imaginations about him, a plain King!

"Traveler, thank you very much for killing the evil Witch and protecting my daughter! You are a true warrior, I will confer you as 【Gunfire Baron】 in the name of the King of the Razika Kingdom, and award you a 'Medal of Courage'!"

After speaking, His Majesty the King turned and left with a large group of people, without any nostalgia.

Xie Yaoyao looked blankly at the coming and going people and horses, a bit at a loss.

Is it... is it this hasty?

If it weren't for the green profession entry 【Gunfire Baron】 on his head and the heavy 'Medal of Courage' in his hand, Xie Yaoyao would have felt that what happened before was a hallucination. ===== CHAPTER 44 =====
