Wilbur was among the animals and had a feeling of utter unreality.

These animals, with the heads of dogs and cats, pigeons and roosters, live like humans.

It's like a town in a fairy tale, grotesque and bizarre.

Wilbur saw that Flyer One had been firmly guarded by several hound guards, and he didn't dare to go back there for a while.

He could only pretend to look around and wander around the castle-like supply depot.

However, Wilbur found that the animals in the supply station did not seem to care about strange animals, they were very enthusiastic, and there was no money or anything like that, as if everyone was good friends, always helping each other, and solving problems together.

A rabbit was carrying something, and he seemed to be unable to push the heavy load, when several grizzly bears, owls, and rats went to help, and after some labor, everyone said goodbye happily and went back to their own business.

There is no deceit, no intrigue, no entanglement of interests, just like in a real fairy tale world.

"Are you hungry, young man?"

As he walked along the road, Wilbur suddenly heard someone stop him, it was a woman with a gray wolf's head who ran a small restaurant on the side of the road.

Wilbur stopped, his stomach gurgling uncomfortably.

It seems that after turning into a bear, his appetite has also increased a lot.

"Come on, I've got some cake here."

The woman with the head of the gray wolf beckoned Wilbur to sit down in a chair that didn't look very sturdy, but very firm.

On the small and delicate table in front of him, a plate of delicate and beautiful cakes soon appeared, the white cream was decorated with fruit and honey, and the soft cake exuded a sweet smell, so that Wilbur unconsciously picked up the plate with his paws and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Delicious!"

As soon as Wilbur licked the plate clean, it suddenly occurred to him that he shouldn't have eaten indiscriminately.

I remember hearing Mr. Heinlein say that once you eat something from the local area, you can no longer become a human being.

But? When a second cake appeared on the table, Wilbur didn't think it hurt to be a bear.

He ate three pieces of cake and patted his snow-white belly? After saying goodbye to the werewolf woman? Continue to walk aimlessly down the street.

The sun is gradually setting in the west? Orange dominates the sky of the supply station, the fiery clouds fade and a curtain of stars rises? Light up the earth.

The tower's dazzling light? Even at night, the entire depot is bustling with activity.

Wilbur wanted to take the opportunity to go back to the parking lot to observe the situation of Flyer One, but he was suddenly attracted by a burst of fragrance? The head turned.

Honestly? Wilbur was hungry again.

His bear nose moved slightly? The whole body seems to be flying? Drifting along with the smell.

Wilbur see? In a narrow alley? There is an old table.

Three animals sat at the table.

One of them resembles a fat rabbit, wearing a shirt and waistcoat, with a small and delicate teacup on the table in front of him.

The other is a dog with a red scarf, with its two front paws on the plate on the table, munching on the bones in the plate.

And finally a big golden retriever with elegant manners? He's not eating? Instead, he looked to Wilbur's side.

Wilbur drifted into the alley? sat across from the round table.

At this time? He came to his senses.

"Mr. Heinlein?"

He looked at the rabbit who was drinking black tea.

That's Bai Ge.

"Shhhh

Bai Ge was silent, and then beckoned, and a teacup full of hot tea and a small cake appeared in front of Wilbur.

"Eat something first? These are black teas and cakes that can quickly restore physical strength. ”

Wilbur was already hungry, so naturally he was not polite, so he put the cake in his mouth and drank the black tea with a slurp.

"Mr. Heinlein, why are you here, and Miss Bamboo?"

Wilbur gobbled up as he looked around.

The cakes and tea didn't seem to be much, but Wilbur found that his physical strength seemed to have really recovered to the original level very quickly, and he seemed to be full of energy, and it was not a problem to fight ten by himself.

"Try this again, it's a steak that makes you stronger."

Bai Ge didn't answer, but conjured up a hot steak out of thin air and handed it to Wilbur.

Wilbur swallowed, he hadn't eaten this kind of properly cooked meat since the start of [Marathon].

The rich aroma took over Wilbur's nostrils in an instant, and his beastly carnivorous instinct was aroused, and in one bite, Wilbur swallowed the whole piece of meat, not knowing how the taste had entered his stomach.

He felt that his limbs were full of strength, and it seemed as if his strength had really grown a lot.

"Mr. Heinlein, what kind of magical power is this?"

Wilbur didn't quite understand how this seemingly ordinary cake and beef could have such an effect, and he remembered that the bounty hunter had never shown such power.

"It's the power of fairy tales."

Bai Ge took a sip of black tea by himself, and then, the dog with a red scarf who was gnawing on the bone on the side raised his head.

"Hello, I'm Wu Yong of Zhuxia Heavy Industry."

He said in standard Mandarin.

"Y-Hello?"

Wilbur tilted his head, Wu used this name he knew that he was the first in the points of the first stage of the schedule, but why was he here, and he was still familiar with Mr. Heinlein?

"This is bamboo frost."

Bai Ge pointed to the big golden retriever dog again.

"Huh?"

Wilbur looked at the big golden retriever with graceful movements, and he was a little incredulous.

However, the big golden retriever raised his paws and touched the void on his head, and the short-haired girl appeared in front of Wilbur.

"Hee-hee, I didn't expect that."

Bamboo Frost smiled, put on his hat again, and changed back to the appearance of a golden retriever dog.

"Wait, wait, we're going to have no problem here, aren't we?"

Wilbur suddenly remembered that Bai Ge and they were being wanted, and turned his head a little weakly.

Outside the alley, the lights are bright, lively and noisy, but I don't notice the tea party in this alley.

"This is a secret tea party that won't be discovered by outsiders, you don't have to worry."

Bai Ge said, pouring another cup of black tea.

"In order to find you, we arranged this tea party, and at the same time discussed how to solve the problem here."

He explained in a relaxed tone, his long ears shaking as his body moved.

Through certain attempts, Bai Ge has basically figured out the fairy tale rules here.

The first is the rule about manifestos becoming reality, which is not a panacea, there are many things that go beyond the framework of fairy tales that cannot be realized, and at the same time, even seemingly simple things cannot be established without following the narrative pattern of fairy tales.

Generally speaking, in the description, try not to appear clear numbers, units, etc., which are beyond the scope of children's understanding, and avoid using some concepts that not everyone understands.

Once he mastered this rule, then within this realm, Bai Ge could do many things beyond his current rank.

Secondly, Bai Ge knows that the ending of this fairy tale must be that the protagonist Zhu Shuang meets the queen and returns to the real world after defeating the other party, so any event that can advance this story in this direction will become extremely smooth.

It's like when Bamboo Frost was hiding in the car, the pheromone control failure was discovered, just like Bai Ge was able to be easily found by Wilbur when they were having a tea party now.

In the end, there was one thing that Bai Ge was not sure about, and that was the purpose of this abyss relic.

Is it trying to create a fairy tale world to trap people in, or is it simply trying to tell a fairy tale?

If it is the former, then Bai Ge will encounter greater resistance, and even encounter some unreasonable turns and accidents.

But if it was the latter, Bai Ge could even expect the Abyss Relic to help them get out of trouble.

Judging from the current observations, Bai Ge believes that this abyss relic is not a big threat to their lives, at most, it is just turning people into animals and being trapped in them all the time.

Therefore, combining these cognitions, Bai Ge proposed a plan.

That is active exposure.

He, Wilbur and the others will hand over the Bamboo Frost Fall.

As animals that capture humans, they will be rewarded by the Empress for entering the Tower and meeting the Empress.

This sounds a bit flawed, but because this is a fairy tale world, it doesn't need too strict logic, since the two premises of "the queen wants to catch humans" and "the queen wants to reward animals that catch humans" are true, then Bai Ge can rely on the logic of fairy tales to enter the tower.

At that time, the four of them will be able to work together to defeat the queen and bring this fairy tale to an end.

Of course, before that, Bai Ge needed to add some "buffs" to Wilbur and Wu Yong.

"It's a cookie that can jump higher after eating it."

"It's a juice that can tolerate the heat after drinking it."

"It's a sandwich that makes you run faster."

"It's the bone that strengthens your eyesight after gnawing."

And so on, a variety of foods constantly appear on the table.

“...... Are we all going to eat it......"

Wilbur looked at the dazzling array of food, and suddenly had a feeling that happiness was too much misery.

He couldn't eat it anymore.

Even if he hadn't eaten these things for almost a month, he really couldn't do it with so much stuff at once.

"Of course."

Bai Ge, who had turned into a rabbit, continued to take out his plate in the void, which was more like a large breeding center than a tea party.

"It's okay, I can prepare this for you."

As he spoke, a ceramic plate appeared in his hand, and in the middle of it was a colorful salad.

"It's a salad that gets really hungry when you eat it, and you just have to eat this to stuff it."

“？”

A question mark popped out of the big white bear's head.

For a moment, he felt that the cute red-eyed rabbit in front of him was the real demon.

An hour later, when Wilbur had finally finished the last serving, the castle bell rang to announce the fall of midnight.

"It's already this time, don't you have to wait for tomorrow, I shouldn't eat in vain, right?"

Wilbur's face was confused.

"Don't worry, if you think about it, will fairy tales seriously describe the scene after everyone goes to sleep?"

Bai Ge said, I don't know where he conjured a top hat and put it on his head.

"It's a magician's hat."

With that, he pointed to the eastern sky.

"It's almost dawn."

Suddenly, dawn came, and the sun was once again shining on the land.

"As soon as you turn the next page, the time of the fairy tale changes rapidly."

He smiled, and then the whole body slipped into the hat.

This is a prop often used in magic, and those great magicians can conjure white doves and rabbits from it, so Bai Ge, as a rabbit, can naturally hide in this hat.

Bamboo Frost took off her hat that could transform into an animal, and then put on the hat with Bai Ge on it.

"That's it."

The sound of a white song came from the hat.

At this moment, it was early morning in the supply station, and the animals had just woken up, and they didn't feel that last night was short, only business as usual.

The tea party ended, and the tables and chairs disappeared.

Wilbur and Wu Yong took the bamboo frost and came to the street.

The appearance of the bamboo frost fell to the great surprise of all the animals, and they stared at the petite human girl with wide eyes, whispering, not daring to step forward.

Two Hound soldiers stepped forward and stopped them.

"I—We've captured humanity, hoping to meet the queen and get a reward."

Wilbur repeated what Bai Ge had taught him.

When the Hound Soldier heard this, he didn't think much about it, and then said.

"Come with us."

They moved towards the tower, and soon came to the foot of the castle-like tower.

Led by the Hound Soldiers, Wilbur quickly saw that it was not as cramped as it seemed, but a wide hall.

The palatial hall is flanked by towering white marble columns, and countless soldiers lined up with spears in their hands.

At the other end of the hall, there was a tall throne made of gold.

On the throne, sat a woman in a splendid dress, her hair black as ink, her lips red as blood, her skin pale, and her thin body as much as a fairy tale witch than a queen.

She is also a human being, and it is ironic that the ruler of this fairytale world of animals should also appear in the form of a human.

"Human ......"

As soon as she saw the bamboo frost falling, the queen leaned forward and made a rotten sound.

"Young Body ......"

Is this the original setting?

Wilbur somewhat understands that this is the kind of character in the fairy tale who is jealous of the young girl and tries to take the other party's body to get an old witch.

The reason why humans are captured is also because they are afraid that humans will crack their secrets and lead to the overthrow of their rule?

Wilbur felt that his little bear head could not quite understand these things.

But soon, his eyes were drawn to something else.

It was a giant monster entrenched on a throne of gold.

A dragon.
