Chapter 1547: Candy House and Ferry
"I also have the ability to resist poison, and since my identity is a unicorn, the role should give me stronger power to resist poison."
The witch also didn't want to miss such an opportunity. Although she came to the Lost Forest to find someone, since there was an opportunity to gain power, she naturally couldn't give it up:
"So, we still need a companion to cooperate."
The maid wanted to speak when she saw this, but was stopped by the young witch. She squinted her eyes and looked at the man opposite. The knight and the bard in the firelight looked at each other very consciously, so the bard dressed in gorgeous clothes raised his hand and took the initiative to say:
"Lady, you just spent a great price to save me, please let me repay you."
Although he still looked a bit afraid, the bard did indeed take the initiative to do so.
"The unicorn, the parrot, and the traveler under the moon each took a candy. I don't know whose head good luck and bad luck will fall on."
The god said with a smile. After the voice fell, the sound of footsteps in the forest appeared clearly again. But unlike last time, there was really an old woman with silver-white hair and various colored candies stuck in her skirt pockets walking out of the foggy forest.
She entered the range of the bonfire, but stopped at a very subtle position. She stretched out her wrinkled hand, and three round black candies lay in her palm.
Xia De and the trembling bard got up to take them, while the witch's candy was taken by her maid. There was no difference between the three candies. Even if Xia De touched them directly, he couldn't tell which one corresponded to what. It was the "old witch" who walked out of the dense forest who had thick whisper elements on her.
It seems that Witch Andreana's guess was probably correct. Although the travel story by the bonfire was fictional, the dangers they encountered were probably all things that could be truly found in reality.
The three people who got the candies put the candies into their mouths together. The taste of the candy was quite good, it was the taste of chocolate. And after the food entered their stomachs, the three people had different reactions.
The bard groaned while holding his stomach, trying his best not to burp; the witch covered her mouth and her body softened, leaning on her maid. Her originally rosy and fair face turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And in Xia De's ears, he heard "her" voice:
【Outlander, you have come into contact with whispers.】
【You have obtained the miracle "Candy Making". Any object you consider "food" can be converted into candy you have tasted. Corresponds to the spiritual rune "Toy Maker".】
"Is it my luck this time? Wait a minute, what is the relationship between Candy Making and the spiritual rune - Toy Maker?"
Xia De asked in surprise in his heart, and then thought that because of the "Blessing of Winter" from the Silver Mountains, he could treat snow as food, which meant he could turn snow into candy.
Of course, Xia De did not forget to reach out to touch the poisoned witch:
"Miss Andreana, how are you?"
"The parrot got the satisfaction of being full, and the traveler under the moon received the blessing of the god of innocence. Only the pure white unicorn was invaded by the pitch-black poison. Amidst the old witch's loud laughter, the candy house also disappeared."
While the god was telling the story, the silver-haired old witch who appeared in the camp really made a strange laugh and walked back into the foggy forest. Xia De and the maid Clara worked together to help Witch Andreana up. Xia De picked up a broken branch from the camp ground and his palm was filled with emerald light while casting the spell:
"Elf's Detoxification."
The purifying power belonging to the alien species almost immediately began to have an effect on the witch, but even though Xia De and the witch herself felt that the spell could purify the poison, the poison did not dissipate at all.
"Traveler under the moon, please note: You in the story do not have the power to remove poison."
The god reminded in a gentle tone, making the witch who was preparing to detoxify herself give up the idea of casting spells:
"Ever since I came here, I have been encountering misfortune!"
"The poisoned unicorn dragged down the speed of the travelers' progress, but they knew they could not stay in place and must set off as soon as possible, otherwise bad things would happen. On the journey of taking turns to take care of the unicorn, the travelers consumed more physical strength and mental energy. Time came to the afternoon, what will you encounter on your journey?"
The god signaled everyone to flip over new cards again, so Xia De let the old knight do it. The old knight faithfully executed the order, and this time the card face was a very ordinary red flower. It looked like jasmine, but it was a bit different from the red jasmine Xia De had seen in the Sixth Era.
"The exhausted travelers accidentally discovered a strange red jasmine flower on the way led by the old horse this afternoon. This flower bloomed very brightly and had a unique fragrance. So what do you plan to do? Take a detour and leave? Let the unicorn eat it to detoxify? Or pick it and use it as a decoration?"
"Sir, you decide."
The old knight said to Xia De, which was also a rare initiative for him to speak, probably because this event was triggered by him.
The bard did not express his opinion on this, and Xia De looked at the witch again. The latter was lying in her maid's arms, gnashing her teeth and saying:
"I'll eat it, I don't believe my luck has always been this bad."
"But..."
"If I get poisoned again, I have other ways."
As the voice fell, a red jasmine flower exactly the same as the card face really grew on the ground in front of her at a speed visible to the naked eye. The maid helped her pick it. Xia De saw the witch showing a disgusted expression, and gave her a glass of water, so the witch barely ate the flower raw.
Fortunately, her luck was good this time.
"The poisoned unicorn tried to eat the red jasmine flower, its poison was neutralized, and it only needed to pass another night to recover. The travelers continued on their way, and taking turns to take care of the unicorn made you even more exhausted."
The sounds of horse hooves, wings, and human footsteps in the forest sounded one after another again, and it was clear that the footsteps were very sluggish.
"In the evening, you chose to camp in a cave accidentally discovered. Because it was the first day of the journey, and water and food were abundant in the forest, there was no need to consider diet. When the silver moon rose, the blessing of the moon protected you. The events that occurred at night were less likely to be bad things."
The god signaled people to draw cards again. This time Xia De reached out himself. Flipping over the card face, the card face he saw was the camp where everyone was at this time. It's just that there were only a bonfire and that old tent in the camp, and there were no five people and the god sitting together.
"Nothing happened tonight, everyone fell into a sweet dream. The unicorn's poison was completely cleared. But due to the hard work during the day, when the second day arrived, the old horse with the worst endurance was still exhausted, and today's physical strength dropped. The journey came to the second day."
The old knight sitting between Xia De and the bard bent down slightly without warning, as if his body could no longer support the weight of this armor. Seeing Xia De and the poet looking at him with concern, he shook his head gently:
"It's okay, I suddenly feel very tired, as if I have traveled for a whole day."
He gasped for breath while speaking, clearly the situation was not as easy as he said:
"If this is the price for seeing my family alive, I can bear it."
Up to this point, the negative traits of three of the five people had been revealed. The maid Clara's trait of being unable to fight was very clear, so even if she hadn't encountered a corresponding event, she understood it very well. Xia De's negative trait still needed to be observed.
And through the first day's "journey," Xia De almost understood that "one day" had to experience three events in the morning, noon, and evening, and the three events had good and bad, and it was also possible that nothing would happen. In this way, the remaining six days of "journey" would have to experience at least 18 draws.
"After packing up the camp, the travelers set off again. They had no definite destination, just continued to move forward for the sake of travel. Not long after setting off, they heard the whistling of the wind in the mountains, the rushing sound of the river, and the call of the lark in the forest at the same time. What direction do you choose?"
The god asked the people sitting together, and the three sounds really appeared in the foggy forest around, accompanied by the crackling sound of the bonfire burning, making the story look more and more real.
It was still Xia De and the recovered witch who made the decision first.
"I instinctively feel that the call of the lark sounds like a trap. The wind in the mountains probably changes our travel scene to the mountains. As for the river, is it an event? Or is it also a scene change?"
The witch analyzed, her eyes shining with the reflection of the firelight, and she signaled Xia De to say something.
"Lady, without clues, it is difficult for me to analyze. But since it is a journey, I think it is not good to always be in the same place. Why not choose one between the river and the mountains."
He suggested, but there were other reasons:
"If the lark is really a trap, we lack the means to deal with flying enemies. Your unicorn card face does not depict wings."
The bard who represented the "parrot" touched his nose.
"Then choose the river. For travelers, water sources should be very important."
The witch suggested. After Xia De also expressed his approval, the first event of the second day's journey was flipped over by the witch:
"The card face is... a ship docked at the ferry?"
The whistling wind in the valley and the melodious bird calls were gradually overwhelmed by the sound of water in the forest in the dark night fog, as if the river itself had come to the side of the small camp. Xia De even felt that the air had become much more humid. This story was becoming more and more real.
The god continued their story for the lost travelers:
"Following the sound of water, the travelers came to the riverbank on the edge of the forest. This is a very wide river. Crossing this river takes a whole day, but you can also save a whole day of physical strength because of this. The ferry at the pier attracted your attention, and the ferryman wearing a black robe and unable to see his face asked you to pay a gold coin each as the boat fare for crossing the river." ===== CHAPTER 1548 =====
