Mermaid Kingdom IV
In addition to flowers, there are also all kinds of flowers!
At the counter, there are also small potted plants on the wooden boards.
I simply couldn't find anything else!
I went to the back of the shop, where the old woman lived, and I couldn't find anything else. So, where does that fragrance that doesn't belong to flowers come from?
It must be somewhere! It's just that she didn't find out!
Haruchu took a closer look at the old woman's bedroom and finally found a strange box. And there is a lock on the top of this box. Qing Chu leaned over and sniffed it carefully. There is a faint smell of a special fragrance.
It seems that the secret is in this box! It's a pity that she doesn't know how to get this lock open, which is really a big problem. Do you want to leave with this box?
That's good! That's it! Anyway, this box is not particularly large!
The corners of Qingchu's lips curled, and he went out over the wall with this box. Well, now she doesn't dare to go through the front door. Lily could smell the scent of the old woman, and who could guarantee that the old woman wouldn't smell her box and spot her?
returned to the small courtyard where the three of them were staying, Qingchu put down his things, and released Xiaoxing out to guard it, and then went back to find Jiawen. She had to inform them that she had found the source of the scent.
The moment he saw Qingchu, Jiawen was stunned for a moment.
When his eyes met, Jiawen's eyes flashed slightly, and he already understood what Qing Chu meant. It's just that in order not to make the old woman suspicious, he has to make trouble for a while.
By the time Garvin and Lily returned to the courtyard. Haruchu had already prepared the meal. The box had already been opened by her, and she put it aside.
Inside are a lot of small bottles. There are a lot of labels. It's just that Qingchu doesn't recognize these words, so he can only wait until the two come back.
"Wow! It smells so good! Sister Qingchu. You're ready to eat! Lily jumped in merrily first.
Gavin held the sword with no expression on his face, only a hint of surprise could be seen in his eyes.
"Hmmm! Yes, little Lily, hard work! Come and eat! After eating, let's go and see what's in that box. ”
"Hmm!" Lily sniffed the aroma of the meal greedily, "It's been a long time since I've had a meal at home!" ”
Jiawen's face couldn't help but blush slightly. It's all because he really can't cook, and he doesn't even dare to eat what he does. On weekdays, I often have to go to many places to complete various tasks, and I can only take Lily to eat out all the time. The few times I eat home-cooked food, I can only eat it when I stay in a private house.
Although Qingchu didn't know the inside story. But I can guess some, and I can't help but purse my lips and smile.
After the meal, Jiawen consciously went to wash the dishes.
Lily leaned over to the box with an interested look on her face. Her little face was full of pleasure.
"That's right! That's what it tastes like! All the smells I smell are here! And something I haven't smelled before! ”
"Do you know what the hell is written on this label?" Qing Chu nodded.
"Huh? These texts...... It's really weird! Lily frowned as well.
"What text?" After washing the dishes, the water droplets on Jiawen's hands came over.
"Daddy! That's it! Lily pointed to the labels attached to the vials.
"Oh? Let me see. In his early years, he traveled to countless countries and saw a lot of writing. Maybe he can't help but know what it's about, but it's not hard to recognize what country it's written in. Lily looked at him expectantly, too.
However, Jiawen's brow was furrowed deeper and deeper.
Lily finally couldn't help but interrupt: "Dad? Don't you recognize it? ”
"I recognize it, but it's too hard to find someone who can translate the language." Garvin's voice was full of distress.
"And what language is this?"
This is known as the witch's text. Only those who have made deals with demons are likely to understand. Jiawen explained, "In addition to gods, there are demons in this world. And the demons have always been willing to only find women to be their spokesmen. When people find that God can't save them, that they can't have their desires fulfilled. There will be some people who choose to go to the demon spokesperson and make a deal with the demon in exchange for a way to fulfill their wishes. ”
"So, that old woman is the devil's spokesman? And that's the stuff inside. Maybe it's what those who trade with her pay for! Haruchu picked up a small bottle and put it under her nose. A scent went to her nose!
"Well, that's right." Gavin nodded.
"But. Why the hell did Bez go to her for a deal? Lily also looked puzzled.
The room fell into complete silence for a moment. No one could have imagined the reason for this. As the princess of the mermaid kingdom, Bis is also the most favored little princess. It can almost be said that wealth and power are possessed, how can this wish be fulfilled only by making a deal with a demon spokesman?
Qingchu remembered a fairy tale from his memory. Inadvertently fell in love with a human little mermaid. In order to be able to become a human, he found a witch and turned his tail into legs, but lost his beautiful voice, and in the end, the prince and princess got married, and the little mermaid turned into foam.
Princess Bess shouldn't be for love!
This possibility or really exists!
But what exactly will Beth trade with her? These bottles are filled with some liquid, which looks like perfume! And what will be the purpose of her collection of perfumes?
These are really tough questions! There is simply no solution to this. Is it possible to go to this old woman and ask him? Surely she would not have told them the truth!
"The host can choose to contact the Fish King to ask more about Bith!" Xiao Dingdong hurriedly prompted. She didn't want to watch Qing Chu drill the tip of the bull's horns by herself!
"How do you get in touch?"
"Well, just look at the badge! There's the Mermaid King's contact in there! ”
"Good!"
Qing Chu couldn't help but feel shocked.
At this time, on the vast sea, a beautiful woman holding a small boat looked into the distance with sad eyes. If anyone notices her lower body, they will definitely find that it is not a leg at all, but a fishtail!
Now her life is the same as his, only two years left! Well, he shouldn't have any reason to refuse him!
