Chapter 82: Completing the Mission
The incense breeze that went and came back again, Hongtong learned the lesson of the last time, and quickly turned his head, but the corners of his eyes were still glancing back dishonestly.
I couldn't help but want to remind Erya when I saw it, but when I looked at Erya, I felt uneasy in my heart. Erya and Feng'er both frowned and looked at the ground behind me, and even Hong Tong looked there with a suspicious look in his eyes. I slowly turned around to see that the jade bottle I had placed earlier on the ground was still there.
Frustration is creeping up in my heart, how is that possible?
The red egg is not a real egg, but a tonic made by the Queen of the Phantom Bird with her own qi and blood. As its own daughter, the new Queen of the Phantom Bird is born, a nourishment that accelerates her growth.
Because the Phantom Bird Girl is the guardian of the forest, I am willing to make such a loss-making deal, the stronger the Phantom Bird Queen, the more prosperous the forest will be, and a prosperous forest can provide a steady supply of medicinal materials for the alchemist.
Could it be that this queen is a second-class product, and she doesn't know the function of the Qi Nourishing and Tranquilizing Pill?
I immediately shook my head and dismissed my own idea, the Queen of the Phantasmatory Bird has extraordinary perceptual abilities, and can completely distinguish between the two and the other.
Suddenly, a silver arch two meters wide and three meters high appeared out of thin air in front of our eyes, covered with female reliefs with wings.
Erya's voice sounded in surprise: "What is this?"
Looking at this silver gate, I suddenly understood what the Queen of the Phantasmagory Bird wanted, has it reached this time?
The contralto echoed again, but it was no longer full of excitement but "Please come in, the magicians that this king has been waiting for." ”
With the female voice, the silver door slowly opened. It was dark inside, except for a faint light in the distance.
I was about to walk towards the silver gate, but a small hand took hold of my arm.
I patted the little hand gently, turned back to the owner of the little hand who was looking at me worriedly, smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is the birth of the Queen of the Phantom Bird, and every generation of the Queen of the Phantom Bird is born here." The old queen will be transformed into a new relief on the door after completing the responsibility of feeding the new queen, and will become a guardian spirit between the gestation, protecting the race for eternity. ”
For my explanation, some Feng'er, who didn't believe it, looked at Hongtong and them. But when she saw Erya and Hong Tong looking at me with adoring expressions, she couldn't help but smile proudly for me. Feng'er's hand that was originally holding my arm let go and took my hand instead, looking at me with an expression of adoration.
It's so nice to be an older brother who can be adored by younger siblings.
When I landed one foot on the ground behind the silver door, there was a sudden glow on the ground. The floor tiles carved with the image of the Phantasmagined Bird Girl on the ground emitted a faint green light, and a two-meter-wide ribbon of light stretched straight out until the hazy point of light in the distance.
As soon as I stepped into the silver gate, Erya flashed in front of me, and Feng'er let go of my hand and retreated behind Hong Tong, and we entered the breeding of the Phantom Bird Queen according to our usual action formation. When all four of us entered, the silver door behind us slowly closed, and then the silver door disappeared into the darkness and disappeared.
Out of respect for the Phantasmagory Bird Queen, I didn't use the Light Spirit Lighting as usual, but just slowly followed the welcoming light path laid by the Phantom Bird Queen. The hazy point of light in the distance gradually expanded, and it looked like the spotlight of the stage shining vertically from the roof.
After walking along the path of light for a long time, we seemed to pass through a tall door and enter a building that looked like a hall.
The place illuminated by the beam was located in the middle of this hall, and under the beam, a beautiful lady in her 30s who was about 1.8 meters tall and dressed in a gorgeous silver Lolita floor-length dress was standing with a smile and a groan. Her fresh hair like new leaves was combed in a high bun, her big eyes were as beautiful as emeralds, and her delicate face was full of majesty and dignity. Beside her was a snow-white egg with golden stripes, one meter high and half a meter wide, and it was placed on a black one-meter-high stone platform with a silver phantasmagining relief of the Bird Girl, and the embossed eyes were studded with glittering emeralds.
The beautiful woman smiled and beckoned to us, and I smiled at her and walked over quickly. When I got to her, I took the initiative to bow to her, and she returned the salute.
"O magician from afar, you have made this king wait. According to the agreement signed with Datong Academy and Wanshitang, our clan has been contributing to the prosperity of the Hanhai Great Forest as agreed since moving here. But the magician you promised to help the king find has not been seen for a long time, and you are too late. ”
Feng'er was very dissatisfied with the Phantom Bird Queen blaming me, and she pouted and hugged me unhappily.
"My brother didn't say anything, he didn't have that obligation. ”
I smiled at Feng'er and shook my head, reached out and gently stroked the top of her head, and Feng'er smiled happily.
This Nizi is still so easy to coax. Hey, why is this girl talking so smoothly.
I don't care too much about the blame of the Phantom Bird Queen, the Phantom Bird Girl must have her own royal breath to maintain her wisdom, so whether the queen can inherit determines the life and death of this entire population. Although the Queen of the Phantasmagory Bird has a lifespan of nearly 10,000 years, it is extremely difficult for her to give birth to a new queen.
"I'm sorry, but this king has been waiting for the arrival of the magician for more than 2,000 years since he moved to the Great Forest of Hanhai, but he has been lost in the sea and there is no news. This king asked Wanshitang and Datong Academy many times, but they always replied that I was still looking for it. Today you have finally arrived, and this king is really a little excited. ”
After saying that, the Queen of the Phantom Bird sincerely bowed to me and apologized, and she raised her head and asked me with some doubts: "Aren't you the magician specially found by Wanshitang and Datong Academy to help me continue the inheritance of the Phantom Bird Girl?"
I shook my head and said, "I hadn't really heard of this before I came here, but I just happened to take on this task by chance." ”
After saying that, it suddenly occurred to me that this phantom bird girl maze was next to the sandalwood demon tree maze. The aroma of the sandalwood demon tree is a sleeping medicine for other creatures, but it is a great tonic for the phantom bird girl. It's not all a coincidence, after all, I chose these three tasks for the Sandalwood Demon Tree Fruit.
The Queen of the Phantasmagory Bird was lost in thought at my answer, when suddenly she raised her head and raised her hand in the air, and a wave of energy emanated from her hand, and we couldn't help but strengthen our guard.
In the next moment, the surroundings lit up, and the entire hall was enveloped in a layer of red light. It was then that I realized that the hall was bigger than I had imagined, and that the red glow came from the red eggs about the size of ostrich eggs in the countless niches on the walls of the hall.
"Don't you need the king's red eggs? I can give them all, which is the favorite tonic for pregnant women in your human world. ”
I was shocked by the dense red glowing eggs on the walls, and I didn't react at all.
The Queen of the Phantom Bird mistakenly thought that I was not satisfied with her terms, so she gritted her teeth and continued to offer: "This king can also give you two more servants, what do you think?"
The conditions of the Phantom Bird Queen pulled me back from the shock, and I looked at her and was about to open her mouth, when four cold gazes flew behind me, and I slammed into a spirit.
The desire to survive instantly overcame primal instincts, and I said with regret: "Your Majesty, servants are not necessary. We'll help you purify the eggs, so give us any eggs your child can't eat. Also, we would appreciate your permission to enter your labyrinth and pick up any herbs we need. ”
Saying that, I glanced at Hongtong, and he had a regretful expression, and he felt sorry for each other, brother. But as soon as Erya's eyes swept away, he turned into a saint's face. I resisted the urge to give him a thumbs up, Feng'er's gaze behind her was a little unkind.
The Queen of the Phantasmagory Bird looked back and forth at the four of us with a look of amusement before saying, "On your terms, human magician." Don't you think it's a pity?"
I couldn't help but smile bitterly at the Phantom Bird Queen's joke and hurriedly said, "Let's start now, Your Majesty the Queen, Feng'er, come here." ”
After speaking, I motioned for Feng'er to press her hand on the head of the silver phantom bird-girl relief on the black stone platform, and Feng'er did as I instructed without hesitation.
The birth of the new queen of the Phantom Bird Girl must be helped by external forces, simply put, with the help of magic above the immortal level.
After glancing at Feng'er, the Queen of the Phantasmagory Bird walked to the opposite side of the black stone platform and pressed her hand on the head of the silver Phantom Bird Girl relief. The moment the Queen of the Phantasmagory Bird pressed her hand on the stone platform, the green light on her and Feng'er's hands bloomed. Halos of green light poured out from the black stone platform, and then merged into the huge golden egg.
The snow-white egg seemed to brighten up in response to the green light, and gradually the color of the snow-white egg became brighter and brighter, while the golden streaks gradually faded. After a while, the snow-white egg suddenly emitted a dazzling white light, and the shape of an embryo was faintly revealed. With the infusion of magic, the embryo slowly began to develop, and after about an hour, the faintly visible shape had changed to the appearance of a human baby. At this point, the light emitted from the egg turned a pale green, and the baby's body changed from curled up to a standing position. As the magic continued to infuse, we saw that the baby's limbs and body began to develop, especially the rapid growth of hair. In less than an hour, the body inside the egg had grown to the appearance of a human being 2-3 years old, at which point the green light from the egg began to gradually become brilliant, and the golden streaks disappeared completely.
The light on the egg became more and more dazzling, and when fine beads of sweat overflowed on Feng'er's forehead, the green light on the egg suddenly bloomed. Everyone present couldn't help but cover their eyes with their hands and turn their heads away, and the green light disappeared without a trace in an instant.
When we could see, a little cutie less than a meter tall with fresh hair like a new leaf draped around her waist, wearing a silver Lolita knee-length skirt, and a pair of snow-white wings on her back, stood on the black stone platform. Her big golden eyes were wide open and winked at Feng'er, and her cute little face was full of curiosity to look at Feng'er. The most amazing thing is that her calves are fair and soft, and her small jade feet are no different from humans.
Suddenly, the little girl smiled at Feng'er, stretched out two small arms as pink as jade lotus roots, and rushed over to hug Feng'er's neck.
The little girl's milky and sweet voice sounded in the hall: "Mom." ”
Feng'er, whose face was crimson when she was shouted by the little girl, hugged her with one hand, and caressed the top of her head lovingly with the other.
The Queen of the Phantasmagory Bird looked at the newborn Queen with a relieved expression and tears in her eyes, and behind her, a pair of pink wings had opened at some point. The pink wings mean that the life of the Phantom Bird Queen is coming to an end, and it will be 20 years at most.
I looked at the dense eggs on the wall and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief that our three teams had successfully completed their iron-level mission.
