Chapter 1182: Song of the Forest

"I heard from Miss Galina that the entire Council has land-walking birds now. Don't you have other mounts? I have seen Miss Aurora summon undead skeleton horses."

Xia De asked curiously. The witch walking side by side had a perfume smell of "witch flavor" that he was very familiar with. Miss Bernice's perfume smell was "colder," and Xia De couldn't distinguish what flower scent it was.

"I really want a unicorn."

The blonde witch's tone was quite pitiful, but this could not bring them a unicorn:

"Mr. Hamilton, you are probably laughing at this idea in your heart. But just like boys often fantasize about having sharp swords and tall white horses when they were young, the fantasy of unicorns is also a wish for beautiful girls when they were young."

But the Outsider wouldn't fantasize about having a sword when he was young; Xia De's fantasy back then was a big rocket.

"Unicorn..."

The two continued to walk along the river, with dense forests covered with snow on both banks. Occasionally, they would encounter animals running on the snow, but they all spontaneously avoided the two. Xia De somewhat regretted leaving that lazy cat in Tobesk. This scene should have been seen by that cat; it would probably be very interested in rabbits.

"In the danger rating of Saint Byron, unicorns are in the same category as dragons."

Xia De recalled the knowledge he had learned, and then found that the knowledge of unicorns given in 【Witch Echo: Olanode】 was more. Miss Olanode's one-eighth elf bloodline was the royal lineage of the Long-Leaf Elf King, so her mount was a unicorn. It was clear that 【Witch Echo】 gave part of the witch's knowledge, but thinking of "unicorn," the image of a heroic witch with pointed ears riding a snow-white little beast, galloping on the vast snowfield, immediately jumped out.

This was not Xia De's imagination; it was the image the witch deliberately left for Xia De.

"Of course, unicorns in fairy tales often suffer from evil persecution, but in fact, this kind of sacred alien creature has extremely powerful power... but they are really beautiful."

Miss Bernice certainly didn't know what Xia De thought of:

"Unicorn groups have naturally not disappeared, but they have already, like most alien creatures, moved far away from areas where human civilization gathers. If possible, I really want to touch a unicorn. I don't know if they are cuter than your cat."

Unicorns only approach pure girls. Although Miss Bernice, who was celibate, was a bit older, she also met the requirements. Xia De was probably not qualified. Although his gender was always mistaken by others, he should not be considered "pure" after experiencing the "Red Butterfly Day" several times.

The two chatted while walking, and arrived at the ice surface of Eldron Lake around 10:20 in the morning. In such cold weather, no one walked on the ice. There were only ships docked in winter and small villages by the lake. Further away, there was a small town, but most of the ice fishermen gathered on the other side of the lake, so they wouldn't disturb them.

Miss Bernice chose to go ashore from the east. The two crossed the lake together and entered the creek forest. There were small paths stepped on by hunters and loggers in the forest. Xia De wanted to go to the location rumored to be related to "Saint Perry Cemetery" first to see if his high perception could discover anything.

If you don't pay attention to time, time always disappears very quickly. It wasn't until 12:30 at noon that they prepared to stop for lunch. Although there was no harvest all morning, the two didn't think they could find anything so easily.

Miss Bernice threw out three small paper figures, let them turn into servants to look after the horses, set up camp, and pick up firewood. Xia De was responsible for lighting the firewood and setting up the campfire.

At this time, they were located on an open space on the edge of the forest near the upper reaches of the Yi River, which was a location used by loggers to temporarily store wood. The forest was cold in winter, but the sunlight passing through the gaps in the treetops was exceptionally warm. After the blonde witch summoned the three small paper figure servants, she sat on a stone by the campfire, watching Xia De busy cooking.

He didn't have any skills, but heating simple food was no problem. Xia De had food on him.

For the witch not helping here, Xia De had no complaints. In his view, witches (Chapter incomplete!)

didn't look like people who would do things themselves. And Miss Bernice, watching Xia De busy, revealed a smile inadvertently. Then she realized that this smile was somewhat inappropriate, so she turned her head and pretended not to look at him, while in her heart she thought of the words Galina praised Xia De:

"He is really easy to use."

"Original Fire?"

The flame was ignited, and the heat almost immediately enveloped the whole body. After Sister Devlin turned the evil things of Pantanal that the half-witches joined forces to defeat into firewood, Xia De could also use more power of the original fire. One of the characteristics shown was that the campfire he ignited could better restore physical strength and provide heat.

The witch of the earth keenly perceived the unusualness of that flame. Xia De, who was taking toys out of his pocket, nodded:

"Yes, I also know Sister Devlin, it was introduced by Grandma Cassandra. That lady said I am a hero who carries the fire and shared some power with me."

He said it lightly, but Miss Bernice understood the unusualness of this, such as how Xia De had met Sister Devlin. She wanted to ask, but remembered that she had lost the horse race just now, so she was somewhat embarrassed to speak. Then she saw Xia De choose light wooden toys to turn into cold meals, and then planned to use the campfire to heat them.

"Speaking of which, the puppet last week called you the dependent of the God of Toys."

She said while looking at her face. Xia De was considering what he should eat for lunch, which was the most difficult problem for him in a day:

"Yes, Miss Galina probably said that I am a student of the History Academy of Saint Byron and a time investigator. I had the honor of meeting that god in the light of the past... Yes, yes, using the Time Key to travel through time and space, I should have been unable to contact those people in the past, but gods are different, aren't they?"

Xia De asked with a smile, and Miss Bernice nodded slightly:

"I heard from Galina that you only took half a year to promote to the fifth tier, which is really unusual. Even for witches, there is no such speed."

The rapid promotion period for witches is about three to five years. After that, if they cannot continue to improve, it is almost the limit of their talent. Miss Galina's limit was originally about the eleventh tier, but because she cooperated with Luvia to open the Gate of Death to rescue Xia De and others, and touched the enlightenment of the Chosen One, these two unique gains could break through the limit of talent.

And the Vanessa Bernice in front of him also belonged to a witch stuck at the eleventh tier.

"The experience of time adventure helped me a lot."

He said half-truthfully, and then thought of another thing:

"Speaking of which, Miss Bernice, do you understand poetry? I want a poem praising butterflies, the earth, and spring. If you are willing to help, can you help me choose one from the existing poems?"

This was the task of the Time Key this time. He also planned to entrust Dorothy and Qianya, and then choose the best one from the answers they gave. After all, in Xia De's view, writers and actors should have a very high level of artistic appreciation.

"Last time it was a ballad, this time it is poetry... No problem."

The witch wearing a cloak nodded slightly, her palms facing the campfire to absorb the temperature. It was still snowing when they set off in the morning, but now the snow had almost stopped:

"Then, how do you want to thank me?"

She asked jokingly.

Xia De didn't hear the joke. He thought about it and reached out to the air on the side, took out a translucent book with strange colors, and handed it to Miss Bernice:

"Last week I used a Time Key and heard three very good songs. They were ballads sung by an ordinary man, a twelfth-tier witch, and a nun of the Sun Church."

Miss Bernice raised an eyebrow somewhat surprised, then opened the strange book and saw the lyrics inside. This was the language of the Fifth Era, fortunately, she could understand it.

Xia De's 【Moon Library】 ability could only display text and could not give various display means like the real "Silver Moon Library." So to display those three songs, he also needed to hum the tune. As a Ringed Shushi, his memory was quite good, and the strange art 【Sound of Music】 seemed to have strengthened his musical talent, which was not much to begin with.

Having a tune in his head didn't mean he could (Chapter incomplete!)

restore it. But fortunately, there was "her" help. "Her," at Xia De's request, hummed softly in his ear, and that voice made Xia De intoxicated.

And following the humming one-to-one, Xia De barely hummed the tune.

The man's voice echoed in the forest, as if a warm breeze blew in the slightly quiet snowy forest. The squirrel with a big tail that picked up pine nuts from somewhere stared curiously at the humming Xia De in the treetops. The sun shone on the brown fur and sparkled, and it didn't jump over the treetops until the sound stopped.

Miss Bernice, holding the book, also looked at Xia De. Until he hummed all three songs, the witch said with some emotion in a low voice:

"Can you tell me in detail under what circumstances these songs were created? I felt a lot of complex emotions in them. It is really surprising that three people with completely different identities could create such different but equally fascinating ballads with the same theme."

The witch Margot three, didn't dare to offer other people's songs to the god. Except for the lyrics of Sister Perry's song from "Song of the Earth," the tunes and lyrics of the others were original. ===== CHAPTER 1183 =====
