Chapter 88: What a Big Chicken!

Soon, Tux reported the situation to Cleos. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info..."These people are not going to be able to make a climate right now. The king didn't want to make it known to everyone in Arebes. So, you just need to keep an eye on them, find out where Strong is in contact with them, and report to the king as soon as there is a situation. "Yes. ”...

When Strong, Shera, and Kay leave. Leiter asked the crowd, "Has everyone's matter been resolved?"

Crotty stepped forward and led Rayt to sit down at a guest table in the Elder's room, before replying, "When we came, the Elder cast a spell on the magnetic card with Tina's staff, and immediately the interior of the Spirit Gathering Temple was revealed. The elder said that he didn't know the old mages in the temple, that Strong was just the name he had inherited from the previous elders, and that not only himself, but also Cleos and my father, Krosso, had inherited the names of the previous elders.

However, according to the manuscripts left by the elders of the previous generation, it can be determined that there are indeed several archmages inside the Spirit Gathering Temple, using a divine sword called Burning Minghuang to suppress the corpse of a terrifying evil dragon. According to legend, the Burning Ming Huang is the sword of Yao Huang, one of the five heroic spirits. Afterwards, we told the elders in detail about the current situation on the island of Salk. When the elders heard this, they decided to help us. ”

At this time, Tina and Hanks are also standing by Crotty and Reiter's side. Impatient, Leonard and Howl had already run out into the wilderness outside the house and began to breathe fresh air. Bran wandered around Strong's dwellings, and found four rooms besides the Elder's bedroom, three of which were occupied, presumably those of Kay, Shera, and Yan, and the remaining one, though very neatly cleaned, was apparently uninhabited for a long time.

So the longbowman removed the clutter from the bed in the uninhabited room, and began to doze off. As a shooter with excellent eyesight, Bran often gets up in the middle of the night to make rounds, so he has a habit of looking for opportunities to nap during the day.

After answering Reiter's question, Crotty stood up and said to Tina, "Tina, I want to discuss something with you alone. ”

Tina then replied, "No problem." Hanks, Ret, please stay here and start preparing lunch. ”

Hanks and Reiter agreed: "Yes." "No problem. So Tina and Crotty walked out of the hut. The remaining two went into the Elder's kitchen and began to prepare the ingredients for lunch.

Crotty took Tina for some distance until he came to the shade of a towering ancient tree, and when he saw that there was no one around, he said, "Do you know? According to the information of the Holy Swordsmen, Kai and Sister Yan are actually the sons and daughters of Strong's knees. ”

When Tina heard this, she couldn't help but be taken aback: "Aren't the elders childless?"

Crotty continued with a serious expression: "So, it would be more accurate to say that they should be Strong's illegitimate children, but not in the usual sense. Because their aunt, that is, their mother, would come to visit once in a while. ”

Tina asked, puzzled, "Then why did they lie to us?"

Crotty replied with a stern expression: "Because according to the tradition of the elves, the elders must not have children, otherwise it will be a great scandal and will be ruined, not only themselves, but also their wives and children will be spurned by the tribesmen, ostracized, and driven out of the elven settlements." So they have to cover up the relationship. Moreover, Sister Yan and Xuera should not know about this. As for Kai, it's hard to say. ”

Tina continued, "And what about Shera? Cleos should know that, right?"

Crotty further explained: "Shela's identity is also quite special. Of course, Cleos knew about it. Therefore, Strong obediently resigned from all government positions that year and voluntarily went here to live in seclusion. You know, he used to be the Elf King's biggest political enemy. ”

Tina asked, "So what is so special about Shela's identity?"

Crotty solemnly instructed: "I don't know much about this. But what is certain is that there are absolutely no good and no harm in her being with us. Please keep this in mind. And, don't tell anyone what I say. If a companion knows about this, please remind them not to make a statement. After all, the stakes are high. I am telling you this because I trust you. ”

Tina agreed seriously: "I understand, I will never live up to your trust." ”

Crotty's expression finally relaxed: "Okay." Let's go back now and prepare lunch for everyone. So she and Tina rushed back to Strong's house and began cooking with Hanks and Ret.

At this time, I saw a few villagers fetching water from a well in the middle of the village, and thought, "After holding back on the boat for so long, it's time to sweat and move your muscles." So the orc warriors immediately ran out of the elder's courtyard to the well, and began to help the villagers carry the water, and they were very busy. As the eldest brother in the family, Howl has a group of younger siblings and is known in his hometown for being able to eat and work.

Leonard walked under the shade of a tall and stout fruit tree. The Great Swordsman looked up and saw that the branches of the fruit tree were covered with red, green, blue, and yellow, mango-sized and oval-shaped fruits, and several birds resembling sparrows pecking at them. He knew that the fruit of the tree was edible, and immediately he screamed in his stomach, and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, so without saying a word, he grabbed the trunk of the tree next to him, and began to climb up.

Just as Leonard was about to climb up the treetops, a female voice came from below him: "Hey, hey!β€”what are you doing? The pudding fruit on this tree is not ripe, and you can't eat it!"

Seeing Leonard turn around, Sister Yan also recognized the other party and continued to shout: "It turned out to be a guest." If you want to eat pudding fruit, there are still a lot of them at home, so come down quickly. The Great Swordsman slid downward, then turned and leaped, jumping off the trunk.

As soon as Leonard returned to the ground, he closed one of his eyes lightly and asked Sister Yan, "Then may I ask Miss." What is the pudding fruit?"

Sister Yan replied with a smug expression: "Pudding fruit is a natural pudding exclusive specialty of Arebes, with bright and bright skin, crystal clear flesh, four different colors, beautiful and unique appearance, and it tastes unusually tender and delicious, sweet and soft. According to legend, it is the first delicacy of the five great heroes who have eaten it and are full of praise, and it is the first delicacy in the continent of FaruciΓ³n. ”

Leonard, who was already hungry, swallowed his saliva and demanded, "Since it's such a good thing, you must let me eat enough at once." ”

Sister Yan also put forward conditions: "No problem. But you have to do something for your sister. ”

Leonard asked, "What's the matter?"

Sister Yan replied in a mysterious tone: "Help Sister Yan do an experiment." ”

Leonard's eyes lit up as soon as he heard that he was going to do the test: "How do you do it?"

Sister Yan then took out the pocket watch-like prop she had fiddled with earlier from the pocket of her jacket: "You wear this necklace around your neck, don't take it off, just wait for a while." The pocket watch-like prop has been made into a necklace by adding an additional metal chain.

Leonard reached out and took the necklace and put it around his neck: "No problem. Is it that simple?"

Sister Yan continued to speak with a mysterious face: "I'm going to recite the incantation now, please close your eyes and stay quiet for a while." ”

Leonard thought to himself, "What kind of trick the little girl is playing again." So, he closed his eyes and did as the other man asked.

Then, with her hands to her lips, Sister Yan raised her head to the branch of the nearby flourishing fruit tree, and shouted loudly: "Huahua! Huahua! is coming out!"

At the same time, Leonard noticed movement behind him, frowned, and almost opened his eyes. Seeing this, Sister Yan hurriedly warned: "Don't open your eyes." The guest promised Sister Yan, and it was the last critical moment. ”

Immediately after, Sister Yan didn't know who she was ordering: "Okay." Bring this person up. Leonard also felt the movement behind him getting louder and louder, and a gust of wind was blowing, indicating that something seemed to be flying above his head, so he hurriedly turned around and opened his eyes.

As soon as Leonard turned around, he let out a loud exclamation: "Ahh!!h

Leonard saw that the bird's demeanor was not fierce, but on the contrary, it was a little ambiguous, and it did not rush violently, and even slowed down to get closer to him, and he did not have the feeling of encountering a wild bird of prey at all, but as if he had touched a hen in captivity, so he blurted out: "What a big chicken!"

The bird chirped happily according to Sister Yan's meaning, and gently lifted Leonard on the ground with his right paw: "Huh-" It can be seen that it must have done this often, and the grasping action is very skillful, and the strength is just right, and it will not make the great swordsman feel any discomfort.

Leonard, who was held in the claws of the bird, immediately turned over, and lay his hands and forearms on the fingers of the "chicken's" paws, and rose into the sky like a ride, and the beautiful scenery around him could not help but sigh: "Wow!β€”this is quite interesting!"

Sister Yan stood on the ground and protested loudly: "Huahua is not a chicken! It is a thunderbird! The Thunderbird is the sacred bird of Alebis, and it is an ordinary giant bird that grows to a very large size, passes through the dark clouds at night when thunder and lightning are combined, and rises from the floor line with the sun at dawn. Moreover, the lifespan of the Thunderbird is as long as that of our elves for thousands of years. Its temper will also evolve to become unusually docile and friendly, and when it attacks enemies with its beak, it will also inflict a lightning strike effect, so it is called a thunderbird. ”

The Giant Roc is a bird of prey that lives in the Spell Forest near the ancient capital of Mahaya, and can grow to be as large as a small glider/plane.

Leonard replied sarcastically: "Oh - it's still a chicken!"

"Huh-" The so-called Thunderbird Blossom was very happy that he was called a chicken, and rubbed Leonard in his face. It is estimated that it grew up with chickens when it was a child, and was treated like a chicken and called as a chicken.

Sister Yan continued to admonish in a serious manner: "Forget it." On your neck is the newly developed spell stand-in necklace developed by Sister Yan, and once the magic energy stored in it senses the approaching power of danger, it will automatically release and save the wearer's life once. Flowey, throw the guests down, it'll be fine. ”

"Wow!! lying rough!!" As Leonard exclaimed loudly, Huahua immediately did as Sister Yan wanted. I saw that the great swordsman fell from the sky to the ground fiercely, and the moment he was about to hit the ground, the stand-in necklace he was wearing around his neck suddenly burst, releasing a large stream of magic energy, lifting his entire body from the air close to the ground, and bounced Leonard up more than ten meters in the air like a trampoline.

Sister Yan was obviously not satisfied with the results of this experiment: "Flowey! Catch him! It seems that the spell double necklace needs to be improved." Flowey then used its back to catch Leonard who had fallen.

As soon as Leonard got on Flowey's back, he protested loudly: "Miss, I'm trying to test you with my life!!

Sister Yan shouted loudly below: "Sister Yan will not treat you badly." Guests can go around the back of the flower as many times as they want. Go back, the pudding fruit is guaranteed to be enough. ”

Thinking that he had promised the other party in the first place, there was no need to be serious with such a little girl who loves science, and he was not injured anyway, so Leonard agreed: "Then it's decided." Then he rode on Huahua's back and took a long day of wind over the village.

After feeling more and more hungry, Leonard rode Huahua and landed in front of Sister Yan's eyes: "Miss." What if that double necklace of yours suddenly fails?" Obviously, the Great Swordsman was still bitter about what had just happened.

Sister Yan blinked and replied with big eyes, "No." Sister Yan has done many experiments with wooden figures. Big brother, you're hungry, aren't you?" she seemed to realize something, and adopted a new strategy against Leonard.

Leonard covered his stomach and replied, "Hmm." Be a little hungry. ”

Sister Yan pleaded with a smile: "Then Sister Yan will take the guests to pick the freshest corn cob." Don't tell anyone about the test. ”

Leonard, who had always been broad-minded and crawled out of the pile of dead, didn't want to continue to pursue this trivial matter, not to mention that the other party was still a beautiful girl of the elf race, so he promised: "No problem." As a result, Sister Yan happily took the great swordsman to the cornfield, picked a lot of fresh corn cobs, and returned to Strong's house.

All the way to stay with Sister Yan, Leonard was desperately bragging: "... When we were sailing on the sea, we also encountered a huge ancient sea beast that was 80 meters wide and 500 meters long, larger than a warship, and was called the Zenosaurus... I was subdued by a sword like this... The black-clothed winged man of the Holy Swordsman Regiment immediately engaged in a death-to-death duel with him..."

Sister Yan was convinced of Leonard's boastful adventure story () and was completely fascinated: "... Wow!!... It's amazing!!..."... Back at the elder's house, they immediately cooked the corn on the cob with Tina, Crotty, Hanks, Reiter, Bran, and Howl, and served it with the rest of the meal.

Also on the table was Leonard, the leader of the sister, who took out seven or eight ripe pudding fruits from the storage room. I saw that the seven or eight pudding fruits were red, green, blue, and yellow, and were as bright and dazzling as those that had grown on the previous trees, and their shapes were much larger and more round than those on the previous trees, and they were about the size of a volleyball, and they were fragrant with fruit.

Leonard picked up a kitchen knife and sliced open a yellow pudding fruit with a click: "Sure enough, it's pudding." "After the pudding fruit was cut, I saw a few small white seeds like melon seeds in the middle, and the skin was not directly edible like the melon skin, but it was very thin, and the flesh was bright and transparent and yellow, and the fragrance of the fruit was more intense.

Then, Leonard picked up the cut pudding fruit and poured it into his mouth: "Wow, it's so delicious... The great swordsman cut four pudding fruits of different colors in one go, ate half of each of the four pudding fruits, and commented loudly: "Wow! The color is different, and the taste is not the same...

His companions all looked at him in strange light, but they didn't feel so strange based on his usual behavior. None of them knew that Leonard's meal was bought in exchange for his life, and of course he had to make enough money.

Among the four colors of pudding fruits, the yellow one is banana, the red one is watermelon, the green one is pear, and the blue one is raisin. After Leonard ate it himself, he was very happy to introduce it to his friends, and at the same time let everyone taste the delicious pudding fruit and enjoy lunch together...

When Strong takes Kay and Shera from the return. As soon as Sheila saw Crotty, she couldn't wait to ask, "Are you Crotty's sister?"

Crotty responded politely: "Yes." What's the matter?"

When Sheila heard this, her face bloomed: "Sheila wants to ask something." ”

Crotty smiled and agreed, "Then please ask." ”

Sheila asked in a mysterious word: "But not in this place, Sheila wants to go outside to talk." So Crotty led her and began to walk out the door.

Seeing that Leiter wanted to follow him out, Leonard also came forward when he heard the wind and hurriedly stopped: "Are, Xiao Lei." Don't come with me. ”

Crotty seemed to have read what Sheila was thinking: "It seems that Miss Sheila wants to discuss some things with me alone, so let's not join in the fun." So, they were the only ones who walked out of the house alone...
