351. Do you want to go in?
After telling the elf's slightly sad and desolate story, the students' interest suddenly seemed a little low, of course, this is not what Bai Yi wants to see, so he hurriedly said: "I tell you this story, I don't want you to pity the hero, my original intention is to want you to learn the optimistic attitude of the elf, you are much happier than her, right?" Remember to keep smiling all the time, even when I'm giving you homework..."
The previous words sounded fine, but this last remark, listening to the emotions that the students had just been mobilized, began to fall again, my domineering teacher, shouldn't he still think about assigning homework in this kind of place?
As a result, Bai Yiwei waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I've just finished telling a sad story, let's tell a heart-warming story, right?" Well... It's probably a girl about your age, with pink hair, and a monster with a snow-white body and a pair of long ears next to her..."
This story is shorter than the elf's story, and after the students listened attentively, the atmosphere suddenly became much more lively.
“... So that's it, in the end, everyone successfully defeated the last great demon king, returned to the top of the mountain in Chaldea together, looked at the snow that did not melt all year round, and continued to wait for the next challenge. After Bai Yi finally finished speaking, there was a round of applause in the carriage, even the fox was applauding, and the owl flapped its wings vigorously.
"Godfather, do you want to tell us that as long as we have strong faith, we can protect everything?" Vidnina asked, chewing on the meaning of the story.
"How so? What does faith alone protect? This story is to tell you how important it is to have a good piece of equipment and a good group of teammates, you see the heroine, if it wasn't for the monster beast who sacrificed himself in the end, wouldn't it be a failure? Bai Yi knocked on Vidnina's head and corrected.
After telling the two stories, the sky began to darken, and the carriage arrived at a remote town, where they had to settle down tonight and continue their journey early tomorrow morning.
The carriage shook for a long time, and the students were sleepy, and after staying in a treehouse-style hotel, everyone enjoyed some natural flavor food with elf characteristics, and then fell asleep one after another, but the fox and sunflower did not sleep, but came to Bai Yi's room, looking at him with green eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"Hungry...", a magic subtitle appeared on the fox's head.
"Didn't you eat?"
"I feel like I've just eaten a meal..."
"No way, elves just like to be vegetarians, I know you both like to eat meat, but there's obviously no meat for sale here! Or... Let's go out to hunt game? Bai Yi said helplessly.
"Don't bother the mentor, just let the two of us go." The fox said.
"Okay, go and come back quickly, remember not to bring the smell of blood back, in other people's land, it's better to keep a low profile." Bai also reminded.
The fox and the sunflower suddenly reverted back to their original shapes, a giant fox the size of a full-grown horse, and a bunch of plants that looked like tentacle monsters.
The two were embarrassed, jumped out of the window at once, and disappeared without a trace.
I don't know where they went or what they ate, but in short, they listened to Bai Yi's words and went back quickly, and their bodies were handled quite cleanly, after all, both guys can do magic, and they should be clean.
He said hello to Bai Yi, and the two guys changed back to their usual appearance and went back to their rooms to sleep.
Then when Bai Yi paid for the room the next day, he heard the shopkeeper say there: "This guest, if you want to continue to walk deeper into the Great Hess, you have to be careful, it's not safe outside recently." ”
"How?" Bai Yi put two gold coins in front of the store and asked calmly.
"I heard the news early this morning, there is a terrifying monster nearby, and it has eaten a lot of animals in the forest outside the city, and even some sheep raised by farmers have been eaten! What a monster! Those few peasant families rely on selling goat's milk to support their families, how can they survive like this? "The city guards have been informed of this, and they will search for this terrible demon as soon as possible, so you might as well stay a few more days and wait until the woods are settled before you go out." ”
"Thank you for your kindness." Bai Yi said sincerely, "Besides, I forgot something upstairs, I have to go back and find it." ”
"Please, it's also my honor to serve such a bold guest." The shopkeeper put away Bai Yi's gold coins and said with a smile.
So Bai Yi whistled and carried the fox and sunflower upstairs.
A moment later, a terrible scream could be heard downstairs, like the wail of a beast before it died.
After a while, Bai Yi led the listless fox and sunflower downstairs, still holding five broken feather dusters in his hands, he threw the feather duster into the trash can, and then led the fox out, but when he was about to go out, he turned around and asked: "Shopkeeper, where can there be chicken feather dusters sold in this city?" ”
The fox and the sunflower suddenly trembled, and they didn't dare to come out.
The people went on their way, and when the carriage passed by the farms that the shopkeeper had mentioned, they saw a fox jump out of the cart, and run into the empty farm, and quickly dropped a storage bag with a note attached to it, saying: Use the money to buy new sheep.
It wasn't until the fox caught up with the carriage and jumped into the carriage that Bai Yi's attitude towards them eased slightly.
But the fox and sunflower couldn't easily get up to the thought that they would only be vegetarian for the next period of time.
The carriage continued on its way, but this time it didn't take long to stop, and Bai Yi was still telling the students a sweet and healing love story, just as the beautiful girl with long light blue hair and the centuries-old boy were wandering around the city full of orcs, and were about to hum a classic song "Scarborough Market", when the coachman interrupted him and told him that he could not go ahead.
But when he stepped out of the carriage, he saw that this place was still in the forest at all, except for the road under his feet and a bit of human breath, the surrounding area was a dense forest, obviously far away from the target elf village.
"There's a notice here." The driver pointed to a large tree on the side of the road, and sure enough, there was a piece of parchment on it, which was written in Elven language: The village of Ohm will be closed to tourists from the date of the announcement.
Of course, other people's original texts are definitely not such a 1024 flavor, this is the meaning of Bai Yi's own translation.
"What's going on?" Bai Yi asked strangely.
The coachman shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't know, but he still took the initiative and guessed, "Maybe there are too many tourists coming to Ohm Village?" Disturbing their lives? The people there are not like us, they are conservative, and they are a little more conservative than the average conservative. ”
"Anyone else knows about this village?" Bai is also a little strange, this village has the successor of the overlord butterfly This kind of thing is obviously an unknown secret, before the elf took over the overlord butterfly, he experienced a series of solemn and sacred ceremonies, and swore all kinds of poisonous oaths, never revealing the secrets of the village, if Bai Yi didn't get the information here after exchanging memories with her, she wouldn't even say it to Bai.
As a result, Bai Yi was still guessing why here, but he heard the coachman say beside him: "No one knew about this place before, even our secular elves didn't know, but later after the news came out that there was an ancient artifact overlord butterfly with elves here, more people came, not only elves, but even dwarves and other people came over to find out." ”
"There's the legendary overlord butterfly here? Where did you hear from that? How could such an almost mythical weapon come to be in such a place? Bai also pretended to inquire.
"What I heard in the tavern was spread everywhere, and it was so uproarious that no one knew whether it was true or not. I had been here many times in the past two months, but at that time, they didn't ban tourists, but the people who went there came back disappointed, probably the rumors were false, right? But rumors like this, no matter how false they are, are always believed. The driver continued.
“emmmm... I see, okay, then we're going here. We'll walk the rest on our own. Bai Yi said, throwing a gold coin to the coachman.
The coachman took the gold coin, looked at it himself, and found that it was actually a gold coin from East! Suddenly he looked happier, the gold coins over there were in better condition and higher content, and they were harder than the Elven Empire's own gold coins.
"Sure enough, the guests from Esther are bold and generous!" "But my generous guest, I must warn you that although there are not many people in Ohm Village, they have preserved many of their ancient skills, including those of the most amazing archery, and you had better be careful if you want to break through." ”
As he spoke, the coachman jumped into the carriage and turned the head of the carriage around, wishing Bai Yi good luck in Elven language as he left.
After he walked away, Bai Yi stood in place and thought.
Obviously, the news of the overlord butterfly here leaked out, but who leaked the news? It's definitely not Bai Yi or the elf who is still sleeping, so naturally it's the people of the village...
Of course, this is not the point, the point is that there are many people who have heard the wind, but they have found nothing, which means that the overlord butterfly may not be here, but has been taken to other places... So did you force your way in at the risk of other people's taboos?
Bai Yi hesitated a little suddenly, how can he say that this is also the hometown of his cheap wife, and he has a little bit of a son-in-law in his business? It's always bad to be too rough, right?
