Chapter 57: The Forest of Gucil (2)
"Hahahaha, Butos. Actually, I don't mean to say he's cute," Ashley burst into tears: "I think he's funny, really funny, hahahaha......"
Butos was afraid that Mr. Dadamosi would hear this, so he quickly pulled Ashley towards the south: "All right, Miss Ashley, we really have something very important to do. ”
When the green dwarf could no longer be seen, Ashley's smile faded.
"Alright, Butos. I'm tired of laughing, what does that dwarf want us to do?ahem, ahem!" Ashley coughed hard.
"Head south, find an old treeman, and use his dew to save the flowers you have plucked. Butos said as he stepped over the trunk of the tree that had fallen to the ground.
Ashley also stepped over the stout trunk with the help of Butos: "My God, I have never heard that flowers should be saved. Gnomes are really funny. ”
Ashley laughed twice, but she was also really tired of laughing, and soon, she restrained her smile.
"All right, Miss Ashley. "Gnomes are notoriously good-natured, but don't always look like that," Butos reminded. ”
Ashley brushed her hair and said, "Well, I promise I won't laugh out loud the next time I see him." ”
There are no roads in the Gucicir Forest, but they are not so difficult to walk either. Ashley and Butos talked and laughed along the way, and soon reached the place that Dadamosi had spoken.
"Where's the Tree Man?" Ashley asked, "Is that dwarf deliberately playing us in revenge for us?" ”
"Honesty is a quality that every dwarf has. Butos replied, "Ah, Miss Ashley, look behind you." ”
Ashley turned curiously, but she was startled by a small face, and on the trunk of a thick old tree there was a face that was not very clear, the eyes on that face were slightly closed, and the mouth was slightly moving.
"Is this the old tree man, what is he doing?" asked Ashley in a whisper.
"Sleeping, perhaps?" thought for a moment, as Butos, who was excellent at hearing, seemed to hear the faint snoring of the tree man.
Ashley cautiously approached the ancient tree, "Mr. Old Treant, we have something to look for you. ”
The subtle snoring was not interrupted by Ashley's greeting.
"Old Mr. Treant......" Ashley greeted the Treant again.
This time, however, the old tree man opened his mouth, and it opened wider and wider.
Ashley took two steps back slightly and asked Butos, "What is he doing?"
Butos frowned and looked at the old tree man, whose mouth was really wide open.
"Is it sneezing?"
Before Butos could finish his sentence, a loud "Ahh
Before Ashley and Butos could react, they were drenched in the "snot" of the Treants.
"Oh my God! what is this!" Ashley screamed, "I don't have a change of clothes!"
Butos wiped his face with his hand so that he could see the old tree man in front of him.
The old tree man slowly opened his eyes, revealing two large, bright green eyes, and lazily stretched out his arms (which were actually two thick branches), and then said with a slight wist: "I—it seems—heard someone call me?"
The old tree man spoke very slowly, but his voice was loud.
Butos now had no time to pay attention to Ashley, who was about to go mad, and said loudly to the old treeman, "I want your dew to save the gnome's friends!"
The old treant blinked at a particularly slow pace, "Dew—a dwarf?"
Ashley wiped her clothes and muttered, "Why do the Treants have snot?
Butos replied loudly to the old treeman, afraid that the old fellow would not be able to hear him clearly: "Yes! Yes, we need your dew!"
"Dew—" the old tree man yawned, and then said in his slow voice, "I—just—squirted—is—dew. ”
Ashley suddenly stopped wiping her clothes......: "Dew? It's not that disgusting either. ”
Butos pleaded aloud, "Do you have any more dew?"
The old treeman's eyebrows raised slightly, "Wait—you just said—the dwarf? Which one—the dwarf?"
"Dadamosi!" replied Butos, with some anxiety, the tree man was simply too slow to speak!
"Let me—think about it. The old treant slowly closed his eyes, and then fell into deep thought.
Butos and Ashley could only look at the old tree man helplessly.
I don't know how long it was, but it was an incomparably long time, and even the dew on Ashley and Butos was drying out.
Eventually, Butos couldn't help but ask, "Do you remember?" ”
The old tree man slowly opened his eyes again, and said to Butos, "Oh—indeed—there is a - green - dwarf - called—Dadamosi. ”
"Can you give us the dew now?" asked Butos.
"Oh—no—" replied the old treeman.
Ashley couldn't help but ask, "Why! You must have more snot!"
"If—you want—more dew, you—can find a way—to make me—cry, and mine—tears are—dew. The old tree man said unhurriedly.
"So what do we do now? Ashley whispered to Butos.
"Tell a story, we can tell him a story!" replied Butos, who was best at telling stories.
Ashley frowned, "This...... Is that okay?"
"You can always try. Butos replied in the affirmative.
So Butos began to tell the old tree man a sad story: "Once upon a time, there was a little dwarven girl who was forced to sell matches barefoot on the dwarven New Year's Day, but no one bought her matches, and finally, in the cold snow, she froze to death. ”
"The dwarves seem to be barefoot...... Ashley whispered.
The old tree man blinked, but he didn't shed tears: "After-come-what?"
"There was no more later, she froze to death. Isn't that sad?" asked Butos rhetorically.
The old tree man shook his head slowly.
"Oh my God! what are you talking about! It's not sad at all, and your storytelling skills are so bad compared to your brother!" said Ashley dissatisfied, not knowing that Butos and Butos's so-called brother were actually one person, but two age forms of Butos.
Butos exhaled heavily, "Okay! I'll think again!"
I don't know why, maybe it's because of the loss of the frost relic, or maybe it's because the tree man is too slow to speak, but in short, Butos is a little anxious now. You know, an anxious person can't tell a good story.
"There is, there is, I thought of it!" said Butos exclaimed.
Ashley blinked her big eyes at Butos, and she was a little anticipating the second story that Butos was going to tell next.
Butos cleared his throat and said, "Once upon a time, there was a goblin princess who was very beautiful, but because of this, she was jealous of her stepmother. Later, in order to become the most beautiful goblin, her stepmother fed the goblin princess rats, and in the end, the princess died. ”
The old treant did not speak again, but let out a long sigh, tears still not flowing from his eyes.
"Your storytelling skills are so poor!" said Ashley, "Where are the beautiful goblins? and goblins don't die if they eat mice!"
Butos crouched on the ground and began to scratch his hair frantically, and he couldn't understand why he couldn't even tell a sad story now.
"It's okay with other people's experiences, Butos, please think about it!" said Ashley helplessly.
"Experience?" a thought suddenly flashed through Butos's mind: "I may not know the experience of others, but my own experience ......"
Thinking of this, Butos's eyes couldn't help but turn red, because he thought of old Butos and remembered everything about old Butos.
So, in a low and hoarse voice, Butos began to tell the old tree man about himself and old Butos. From how old Butos took care of him gently, to old Butos suddenly disappeared inexplicably, to trying every means to find old Butos, to finally finding out that old Butos had passed away a long time ago in order to save himself......
When Butos finished speaking, it was not only the tree man who shed tears, but also the Duke's daughter, Ashley.
Huge and clear tears rolled down the trunk of the old tree man, and Butos hurriedly pushed Ashley, who was still crying: "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and collect the dew!"
Ashley came to her senses, and together with Butoth, she caught the old treeman's tears with a huge leaf.
After picking up the four leaves, Butos and Ashley said goodbye to the old treant and left cautiously.
"Butos, the story you tell is really touching. On the way back, Ashley couldn't help but say.
"Ah...... Perhaps......" replied Butos with some perfunctory replies, for he was now afraid that Ashley would laugh at the sight of Mr. Dadamos, and then spilled the dew from his hands on the ground.
Fortunately, on the way back, Butos and Ashley didn't see Dadamosi.
Butos and Ashley followed their path, watering the plucked flowers with the dew of the old treemen.
Sure enough, something magical happened, and the flowers bloomed again.
After a long busy circle, Butos and Ashley can finally catch their breath.
"Well, what about Mr. Dadamosi?" said Ashley, who did not want to water the flowers in vain.
As soon as Ashley's words fell, Dadamosi emerged from a bush of flowers: "I'm here, you're doing a good job!"
This time Ashley didn't laugh when she saw Dardamosi.
Ashley said to Dadamosi apologetically, "Mr. Dadamosi, I didn't mean to laugh at your ...... before"
"It's not your fault, beautiful young lady. Dadamosi replied, "You accidentally plucked the flower of the laughing fruit before, the pollen of that flower will make people laugh more than once, I misunderstood you, beautiful young lady, I apologize to you." ”
With that, Dadamosi bowed to Ashley in a standard manner.
"Laughing fruit?" Butos knew that this was a good thing, and asked the dwarf Dadamosi, "Do you have a magical laughing fruit?"
Dadamosi touched his beard, and then said slowly: "Of course I have, for the sake of you saving my friends again, I can give you a few, but you must be careful to keep them." The gas emitted by the explosion of the Xiaoxiao fruit is more powerful than pollen. ”
Dadamosi took three laughing fruits out of his pocket and handed them to Butos.
Butos carefully put them in his pocket, and then continued, "By the way, Mr. Dadamosi, you haven't told us where the goblin crypt is. ”
Dadamosi coughed deliberately, then corrected, "The crypt is not that simple! The goblins have built a huge dungeon underground, and not only the goblins can enter it, but even human rangers can enter it. ”
"What are the human rangers doing in the goblin dungeons?" Ashley wondered.
"For the sake of the invention of the spirit of the earth, of course," replied Dadamosi, "the special traps made by the goblins can be of great help to the rangers, and the rangers will provide the goblins with rare furs or other materials." In short, there are times when goblins and humans don't get along completely. ”
"And how do we find the goblin dungeon?" said Butos.
"Hmm......" Dadamosi the green dwarf recalled, "I've heard that if you can find a blue tree trunk, you can find the entrance to the goblin dungeon, because the entrance is just below the blue trunk." ”
Butos finally got the answer he wanted: "Thank you so much!
Dadamosi smiled and shook his furry head.
So, Butos and Ashley embark on a journey to find the blue trunk.
Dadamosi looked at the backs of Butos and Ashley, and waved as he said, "Remember to take care of the Laughing Fruit!Welcome to come and chat with the green dwarf Dadamosi again!"
