Chapter 7 Fighting wits and courage

Reginard finally realizes that he is lost in this forest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

For many days, it seemed that he had been in this forest, circling in circles.

It would be nice if the magic he possessed to predict the future could be controlled by his mind, and as long as he slept, he could dream about the way out.

But how can things be as good as they should be?

The magic of being able to glimpse the future, even if it is only something that is not in the control of the will, even if it is only a few broken images, is enough to drive the world crazy.

Maybe it didn't work, but the feeling was unstoppable to mortals.

Because the feeling of knowing your fate in advance is almost like ...... God. It seems that he has finally broken free from the chessboard of the gods and become one of the lucky few people in the world who can freely control his own destiny.

Of course, these are just the imaginations of magicians who have not yet mastered this magic.

For Reginade, it was just a curse.

He just wanted to have a peaceful night, not by closing his eyes and meditating, but like everyone else, sleeping soundly, dreamless or having ordinary dreams.

That's all, it's so mundane and simple.

People tend to paint their minds too perfectly with areas they don't know.

Who isn't?

Thinking of this, Reginard couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly, crouched down, and placed a mark on the ground with stones—so that if he got lost, he would surely know.

This is the most primitive way to find your way through the jungle.

For a magician, this method does seem to have a bad identity.

But Reginad doesn't care, all he needs is what works.

Of course, he knew a lot of magic, but he didn't have any spells to find directions, although he had a magically calibrated compass needle in his pocket...... However, he would never follow the direction on the compass needle.

Naturally, it's because of that guy.

The compass needle, which was pulled by the magnetic field and indicated the direction, had long been messed up by that guy with magic, and after Reginard injected magic power, the compass needle actually flew directly away.

It's ridiculous.

Reginard didn't blame her, but felt that if she wanted to, it would be better to make trouble like this. Last time, he already felt that what he had done was somewhat excessive.

Originally, I just wanted to use a roast chicken with deliberately extra salt and pepper to fix her, but I didn't expect her to suffer so much one after another, and even his wine became one of the props for tricking.

Of course, he didn't mean to, for travelers, wine is a better item to carry than clear water, after all, alcohol can be stored for a longer time, and it will not stink as easily as water.

As for the spice powder that tortured her, he tried the same amount the next day, but he was salted and his brain was clouded, and he poured several cans of water in a row.

When I woke up in the morning for several days, my throat felt dry and hoarse.

So no matter how much she retaliated, he felt that it was more or less deserved.

However, Reginard soon found the compass needle that she had broken and was now more suitable for its use, such as blowing wind on hot days, or blowing hair or something.

He certainly wasn't going to let the guy continue snickering, he wanted to make her feel like he was still enjoying herself no matter what trouble she had.

Why do you think so?

It's hard to say.

Maybe it's the stubbornness that belongs to a teenager in the depths of his bones, this kind of "secret fighting" has become a part of life, and he doesn't want to admit defeat.

What's more, if her prank succeeds and is satisfied, she will soon get tired of this kind of game.

The nine-tailed demon fox, no matter how seductive, is essentially nothing more than a fox - curiosity and a love for new things will always be in her nature.

That's why I don't want her to feel like she has succeeded.

Is it worrying...... If there is a good smell wafting from afar, will it suddenly disappear one day?

Who knows? Reginald shrugged to himself.

However, what Rigginard was most interested in was that although he, like all magicians, had placed protective enchantments in the pockets that carried magical items, the magical enchantments didn't seem to work as well as they should in front of the guy.

It seems that this Ionian forest is really interesting, giving birth to so many amazing creatures.

On the continent he came from, thousands of strange beasts that were extremely rare and unimaginable were all growing in this magical land.

He had seen a noisy monkey. Although it looks like an ordinary hairy monkey, it seems to have an extraordinary talent for physical arts, and can actually defeat a rather ferocious beast with his bare hands.

Of course, there is also this nine-tailed demon fox, a magical creature with blurred boundaries between spirit, magic, and soul, which is very interesting, and has complex emotions that are quite similar to humans.

Sometimes he feels that Ahri is like an ordinary girl.

If it weren't for the fact that Reginard was in a hurry to find Li Qing on this trip, even if he got lost in this magic forest for a little longer, he wouldn't have mattered. He rejoices in every new discovery of this forest.

It's just that I don't know if it's too late to squander the time spent on this? Li Qing, Li Qing, why are you so uneasy?

Reginard just felt that it was really fun to fight wits and courage with that eccentric guy of the nine-tailed demon fox.

I've seen the legendary nine-tailed demon fox, it's worth the trip, right? He told himself.

However, no matter how you think about it, it seems to be deceiving yourself?

He didn't have time to think about it, because the familiar scent in the air suddenly became stronger.

What kind of trick will it be this time?

Reginard felt his mood somehow get better.

Those worries seem to have been left behind.
