Chapter 1549: Potion, Snowflake, and Candy
It was not necessary for the god or the ferryman in the story to explain, everyone knew why Xia De was different from other "travelers," because only Xia De was not in animal form.
Xia De didn't want to explain either, but said with a lucky tone: "Fortunately, I have a boat myself."
"But unfortunately, the traveler under the moon does not."
The god reminded with a smile, not giving Xia De a chance to muddle through:
"Travelers, you can choose to abandon this companion of yours, or you can think of other ways. Or, try to challenge the ferryman to gain control of the ship."
"Challenging the ferryman is impossible."
The witch said very rationally, her golden eyes shining in the light of the bonfire:
"That ferryman reminded me of another kind of relic. This is not something we can deal with, even if I didn't turn into a unicorn, I couldn't deal with this kind of thing. And, we couldn't abandon you."
She looked at Xia De:
"Although I don't know what you are, with you here, we will be safer when encountering battles. Before the journey ends, everyone is useful."
"Maybe we can think of other methods, can we discuss it again with the ferryman?"
The old knight spoke up with courage, but the god shook his head:
"The stubborn old horse tried to persuade the ferryman, but it had no effect. The ferryman has his own rules, and no matter what, it is impossible to break them."
"So, as long as I become the same as them, I can board the ship?" Xia De asked. The god smiled and didn't speak, which was the meaning of affirmation. And the witch signaled her maid to search the pocket that was clearly abnormally large, and then shook her head regretfully:
"Although I prepared a lot of things for various situations, I just didn't expect..."
"It's okay, then I'll go find it myself."
Calculating the time, there were only a few minutes left before leaving. The seven-day journey was currently in the second day. Counting the progress, three Time Keys were enough to support Xia De to hear the end of the travel story.
"This gentleman, where are you going to find it? Could it be, you are going to try to go deep into this foggy jungle?"
The bard asked curiously, thinking that Xia De had other discoveries. "I am going back to where I should go back to."
He looked at the god, and the god nodded:
"Although it is a small story by the bonfire at night, appropriate rest is also necessary. Maybe you want to communicate with each other, we can rest temporarily."
Except for Xia De, everyone had some food and drinks in front of them. It was not exquisite food, but dry bread, dried meat, cured meat, and canned fruit that travelers could carry with them. And the food Xia De gave everyone just now also disappeared inexplicably at this time.
The witch showed a disgusted expression on her face, but since these were given by the god, that expression was quickly put away. The bard and the old knight accepted the food given by the god with fear and trepidation, and did not forget to thank him together.
The witch cared more about the changes in the story: "Where are you going?"
She asked Xia De. Xia De shook his head: "This cannot be said, but I will come back, lady. Just like you came here with the purpose of finding a missing friend, I also came here with my purpose. The god said we can all gain what we want in the journey, I am very curious about what I actually want..."
The unrealistic fantasy is "Divinity," but the possibility is not very high. But even if it is not divinity, Xia De can accept other things:
"Now the story cannot proceed because of me, so I must find a way to solve this difficulty. Please rest assured, I have no conflict with you.
"Can you leave the Lost Forest?" "Yes."
The white fog like silk had appeared around Xia De, but mortals could not perceive it, which also proved that Witch Arera Andreana was different from Fiona, and she did not have the talent of time.
The young witch pursed her lips and looked at him, and suddenly asked:
"Can you bring me some information about unicorns? Although I am a unicorn in the story, I don't know much about them in reality. And as a reward, I can tell you more things. The person I am looking for is Clara's sister."
She looked at her maid:
"Her twin sister, witch, my apprentice, and also my..."
"No problem. I will bring that knowledge for you. But I also want to know some of your knowledge. If you can share it with me, maybe you can write it down."
Xia De also said, supporting the ground to stand up. Seeing him like this, the others knew he was leaving, so they said goodbye one after another.
They watched Xia De walk to the edge of the bonfire, and then his body outline became lighter and lighter until he disappeared completely.
Looking at the bonfire again, the god sitting with his back to the bonfire had also disappeared. The witch sighed lightly and looked at the two men:
"Knight, bard, after eating, tell me your specific identities again. For the next story, I have some things to explain to you."
Both nodded immediately. A high-level witch was more terrifying than an ordinary king to the men of the Fifth Era.
The maid Clara asked her master with some worry: "If you get into danger in order to find your sister..."
"Divination will not be wrong. This divination card that I don't know when it was mixed into my deck will definitely be able to guide us to find it."
【Universe · Space】 was carefully taken out by the witch from her close-fitting pocket. She did not discover the special nature of this card, but she firmly believed that the direction guided by the card was not wrong:
"I will find your sister and bring her back to our side. Clara, this is just my promise to you."
(Little Mia is running...) "Meow~"
Xia De had just walked out of the door when he heard the cat's meow. This was undoubtedly Mia's dissatisfaction that he didn't take her with him.
Because only three seconds had passed, Mia was still stupidly biting the piece of sausage. Xia De smiled, bent down to hold the cat, and was quite satisfied with this Time Key adventure. The degree of danger was not high, at least it didn't look as high as the last "Eternal Night City," and the companions he met in the past this time looked very normal, so in Xia De's view, this was probably another adventure with the same difficulty as "Banquet of the Butterfly God."
"You look in a very good mood."
The blonde girl who walked out of the kitchen with a plate said.
"The adventure went very smoothly, although I encountered some small difficulties... Speaking of which, Lei Qianya, can you meet Miss Galina today?" Xia De asked.
So far, the two cases he encountered where humans turned into harmless animals both came from witches. The most recent one was the witch Chloe in the snow mountain, who, because she was embarrassed to rely on him for warmth, turned into a white kitten and curled up in his arms. But unfortunately, Xia De could not contact that petite witch in the past time, and even less knew what witch secret technique she used at that time.
And the other time a human transformed into a harmless animal happened last year. The cause of the incident was that Priest Augustus took out the potion known as "Cat in a Bottle" and asked Xia De to help purify it (Chapter 291). Later, that semi-finished potion was sold to Miss Galina through the black market, and Miss Galina asked a potion master in the 【Witch Council】 to complete its configuration. One-sixth of the finished potion was given to Priest Augustus as a reward, but according to what Xia De knew, they had already been consumed by the priest for experiments.
As for the potion in Miss Galina's hands, in order to test whether humans could be turned into toys by Xia De and brought to the past time, she let Tifa drink it. The effect of that potion was quite good. Xia De still remembered the scene of the snow-white kitten squatting blankly on white stockings, shoes, hairbands, long skirts, and underwear (Chapter 559).
"Even if you want to flirt with my great-aunt, you don't have to ask me to pass a letter for you, right?"
Lei Qianya joked.
"I want to ask her for a favor. I am looking for a quite high-end potion 'Cat in a Bottle'. The potion can make humans turn into cats for a short time. She once asked someone to help complete the configuration of the semi-finished potion, maybe she can get me another bottle."
Xia De explained, and the princess nodded in agreement:
"There is a meeting in the parliament this afternoon that she needs to attend. I will tell her when the time comes. The meeting will last all afternoon, she will probably come to find you in the evening, don't forget to come back."
"No problem."
Xia De nodded, helped Lei Qianya pull out the chair beside him to sit down, and then asked again:
"I had a new harvest just now, do you want to see my new skill?"
"New skill?"
The golden girl nodded curiously, and then saw the ceiling melt, revealing the stars and the silver moon. At the same time, snowflakes fell one by one in this "small" restaurant. After falling on Mia's cat food, the cat that was licking goat milk sniffed it and actually turned its head to lick the snowflakes.
"Isn't this your mystery 【Match Girl】? What kind of new..."
Halfway through the sentence, the princess realized that Xia De's cat, which was super intelligent, could not possibly eat snow voluntarily. So she reached out to catch the snowflakes, and then her small tongue probed and licked the palm of her hand, her eyes squinting slightly:
"It's sugar, and it's quite high-quality white sugar."
Noticing Xia De looking at her mouth, she blushed and patted Xia De again:
"Dorothy's tongue is very beautiful, right?"
"Yes... cough cough, I mean, I can now turn things I consider food into candy. White sugar is not rare at all, take a look at this."
He waved his hand to let the flying snowflakes fly into the empty bowl in front of him, and soon gathered a large mass of loose snow. Xia De reached out and pointed lightly, and those snowflakes actually became fluffy like cotton, and in a blink of an eye, they filled the whole bowl.
Xia De stopped the cat that rushed over, and while it was meowing in dissatisfaction, signaled Lei Qianya to have a taste. ===== CHAPTER 1550 =====
He waved his hand, causing the drifting snowflakes to fly toward the empty bowl before him, and soon gathered a large, loose clump of snow. Xia De reached out and tapped it lightly; the snowflakes suddenly became as fluffy as cotton, and in the blink of an eye, they filled the entire bowl.
Xia De blocked the cat that was diving toward him, and while it meowed in dissatisfaction, he signaled for Lei Qianya to have a taste.
