Chapter 1160: Crazy Puppet Theater

"That door, I remember..."

【Yes, when passing by just now, that door was tightly closed.】

The letter in his hand had no envelope, just simple folded letter paper. After opening it, he saw letters like chicken claws scratching, as if this letter was randomly scratched by Little Mia's claws.

Not only messy, but each letter occupied three lines of the letter paper, but this letter was indeed for Xia De—

【To the follower of the Toy God:

I challenge you to enter that room and pass my puppet show performance, and I will release you and your companion. Otherwise, they will become toys forever.】

Although the Karsenric language was used, there were many errors in grammar and spelling. There was no name at the signature, but a red seal similar to a puppet's palm print, and the traces of the puppet's knuckles were clearly visible.

"Follower of the Toy God..."

The ancient god 【Innocent Creator】 was also known as the Toy God, and Xia De not only obtained divinity from that god, but even temporarily kept her "artifact," and received her help in the battle with another evil god. Therefore, it was not surprising that Xia De was considered the "follower" of that god.

"Did it attack Miss Benanice and the others?"

Xia De vaguely understood something, just thinking that a witch could be trapped by a Sage-level relic made him feel a bit unbelievable. But thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with this. After all, the four Great Witches last night all thought that Miss Benanice was not good at fighting, and being trapped by a relic that extremely restrained her due to negligence was not impossible.

【Do you really want to save them?】

Whispering in his ear, Xia De put down the letter and nodded:

"Even if I want to leave, I'm afraid I can't. And, this matter has something to do with me after all... The Sage-level relic related to the theater that Miss Benanice has been looking for recently, and the relic that turns people into puppets that Luweiya mentioned at noon that the church is chasing, wouldn't it be this one?"

At this time, of course, no one answered Xia De's question, but the maid puppet just now had already explained a lot of things.

Supernormal abilities of the transformation system like "toy transformation," "petrification," and "sheep transformation" had a very unified characteristic: as long as the soul of the transformed person was still there, it meant that the transformation was reversible. And if the soul was not there, the essence of the ability was permanent transformation. Wanting to turn it back into a normal human, the difficulty was about the same as finding a toy, a stone statue, or a sheep at random and turning it into a normal human.

The maid puppet just now was undoubtedly "alive." The soul was imprisoned in the puppet's body, so the letter didn't lie. Even if they were turned into toys, they could still be turned back; this was not a permanent change.

"It's a pity, Luweiya didn't know what relic this was at noon..."

Carefully closing the door behind him to prevent Little Mia from running out, Xia De walked slowly toward the door that was only open a crack next door.

Pushing the door open, the singing of the opera could still be heard in the dim box. The concentration of whispering elements reached its peak here. The room was not lit, but Xia De could still recognize that the structure here was almost exactly the same as the box he was in just now.

It's just that at this time, the sofa and coffee table that should have occupied the center of the box were all moved to the wall. Huge wooden models were arranged from a position five or six steps away from the door to the depths of the room. Those were models of forests, cities, and castles. Although the wooden models were painted and filled with colors, they still didn't look real, but rather cartoonish and childish.

It's just that Xia De believed that no child could refuse such a model toy.

No one else could be seen in the room, but in the place outside the huge model, traces of fighting could clearly be seen, but the traces were not very obvious. The whispering elements were undoubtedly revealed here, and the rating of this unknown relic was probably really Sage-level.

Xia De was still standing in the corridor holding the doorknob. He could fully imagine what would happen after he entered the door.

【Are you sure you really want to go in?】

"She" asked softly. Xia De nodded slightly:

"I won't do things without certainty; you know this. This is a good opportunity. The witch needs help, and I happen to... although there are risks, I think it should be no problem."

Just thinking about it, the sound of chains clattering came from the room. At the innermost part of the box, which was the position farthest from the door, across the forest and city models, a brand-new puppet was pushed out by the slide on the top balcony of the palace castle model that was almost as tall as a person.

That puppet was only the size of a palm, wearing a white princess dress that only appeared in fairy tales, and was firmly tied to a chair by chains. The chair was connected to the slide. Probably to prevent this puppet from escaping, the chains almost wrapped the princess-like puppet into a silkworm wrapped in a cocoon. That puppet was alive, wriggling constantly, but the puppet's face couldn't make any expression, so that appearance was quite funny.

It is worth mentioning that even though it was a face made of wood, and the golden hair was also made of silk thread, this was also the most "beautiful" puppet Xia De had ever seen. There was no need for any doubt, this was Miss Vanessa Benanice. Because it was in a special puppet form at this time, plus the obstruction of whispering elements, Xia De, who was originally in the room next door, did not feel her existence from the badge.

Miss Benanice had never seen Xia De, but probably guessed that he was the person she was going to meet today, so she struggled to express something through her wriggling body. It's a pity that she, as a puppet, seemed to have no ability to speak, and Xia De didn't understand means like spiritual communication.

"Follower of the Toy God, your goal is to cross the obstacles I set up and, as a brave man, rescue the princess imprisoned at the top of the palace."

A somewhat funny child's voice came from behind the huge palace model. A boy-like puppet wearing blue suspenders and a red hat poked its head out from behind the palace.

The imprisoned witch puppet was only the size of a palm, but it was half a person tall, and there were no threads and discs manipulating it on its head.

Xia De's expression suddenly turned cold. Even if this strange puppet was not the entirety of the relic, it was at least the core of the relic.

"Silver..."

He raised his right hand and was about to swing it, but that half-person-tall child-like puppet stopped him by jumping. The puppet's black button eyes looked at him, and its lower jaw opened and closed constantly, letting the funny child's voice come out:

"If you really want those people who turned into puppets to never be able to turn back into flesh and blood bodies, you can fight with me here."

It jumped happily on the floor, which made Xia De think of Little Mia for some reason:

"Follower of the Toy God, I actually have no malice toward you, just very curious about you. Plus this woman, she has been wanting to catch me for this period of time, so I prepared a puppet show for you here."

It stopped jumping, its black button eyes stared at Xia De, and it made a gesture of invitation:

"As long as you reach the top of the castle and rescue the princess, I promise to let all of you go. Yes, although I am a relic, I can still swear this to that Toy God."

The singing voice of the opera performance outside the box seemed to reach the climax of the singing segment at this time. Xia De pretended to hesitate for a moment:

"If I turn into a puppet, I will lose all my spellcasting materials and relics. I won't easily step into your venue."

"Oh, when you turn into a puppet and step into my puppet theater venue, your spellcasting no longer needs materials. You are the follower of the Toy God, carrying many toys with you. I allow you to use the items you carry on you... as long as you can still move them."

"It really is like this."

Xia De hesitated for a moment, dispersed the silver light in his hand, and walked out a step into the box.

As he constantly walked toward that huge field model, his skin also felt hot and itchy as if it were on fire. When Xia De finally arrived at the entrance of the model forest, amidst the high-pitched singing of the soprano that seemed to shatter the glass, with a clatter, all the items Xia De was carrying scattered on the ground, and the faint light made the metal and glass utensils reflect arcs.

【Outsider, you have come into contact with "Whispering."】

【Outsider, your life form has undergone a reversible transformation. Do you need to resist it using soul power?】

Xia De didn't resist, so he stood on the path at the entrance of the "forest" model, looked at his hand that had turned into a puppet, looked at the clothes wrapping his body, and then turned around, seeing the potion bottles falling on the floor, which were even more huge than he was now.

Five thin threads were connected to the limbs and head, and above the threads was the inner cross disc that manipulated the puppet.

First Fire and divinity were still protecting Xia De. As long as he wanted, he understood that he could turn back at any time by leaving this model venue.

At this time, the opera outside also happened to be the singing segment of the knight's adventure story, and that half-person-tall puppet had already hidden behind the model castle, humming softly with a funny voice:

"The evil demon broke into the royal palace, kidnapped the beautiful princess, and covered the originally rich kingdom with forests. The knight from outside broke into the forest and, for the sake of the princess, set off toward the castle in the distance."

The puppet Xia De had nothing on him. He tried to cast a spell, and then the puppet's hand really pulled out a "Moonlight Greatsword" from the air that was very suitable for his body size, and even the appearance of the glowing greatsword looked like a wooden toy.

【Outsider, in the venue of the Sage-level relic 【Crazy Puppet Theater】, all spellcasting is material-free, all spellcasting effects are related to body size, and spellcasting consumption is drastically reduced.】

Although the body became smaller, the soul was still great, which led to the reduction of spellcasting consumption and spellcasting effects, but the total amount of spirit and the recovery speed of spirit remained completely unchanged. At this time, the spirit consumed to maintain the weapon using "Moonlight Greatsword" was not even as much as the spirit Xia De naturally recovered.

This gave Xia De more ideas:

"Open the maze in a while and give it a surprise."
