Chapter 425: Gem Giants and Cloud Demons
Frequent crossings, the intersection of reality and fairy tales, and the flow of different times made William a little lost.
It took a moment for William to remember that it had been two years since he had last left the nameless forest where the Potions Master was.
It's two years in a fairy tale world, not two years in the real world.
In two years, the nameless forest seems to have changed little.
The forest is lush, and the sunlight shining on the branches and leaves is like dyeing a layer of golden light, as if there is a sense of sacredness, as if being in a holy place, which makes William's heart flood with a special feeling.
William first went around the small village by the forest to see Miss Lettuce's biological parents, the good Samaritans, Mr. and Mrs. Robert.
William was worried that his radiation would have a bad effect on the well-meaning couple, and that he had found the Potions Master and had a new place to live, so he chose not to say goodbye, but only used the pale substance as some compensation.
Of course, although this approach is more formal, making amends can make William feel at ease and not feel indebted to others.
William met Mr. and Mrs. Robert unsurprisingly.
It was just an unexpected finding that the living situation of Mr. and Mrs. Robert did not seem to be very good.
Of course, the living conditions of most people in the village are much better.
It's just that it's much worse than before.
"Didn't the Robert family work for that Potions Master? Do you want to give food and necessities to your own daughter, Lettuce Girl? A doubt arose in William's mind, and he immediately asked the Magic Mirror to investigate.
As a result, it turned out that the Robert couple no longer had to send food to the forest, and without the Potions Master as a "source of extra money", it was no wonder that the quality of life of the Robert family had decreased so much!
Even the sorcery apparatus that opened the Potions Master's Tower was gone.
It couldn't have been lost by Robert's family, but it was most likely recovered by the Potions Master.
William remembers that when he left, the Potions Master was sulking at Lettuce Girl, and he did not hesitate to turn the "Prince Charming" who was about to elope with Lettuce Girl into a donkey.
The poor lettuce girl had to wash her face with tears every day.
Could it be that after all this time, the Potions Master still refuses to forgive this lettuce girl who was raised by her as an inheritor and daughter?
Even the biological parents with the lettuce girl were implicated?
William didn't have a clue, he had a thought, and asked the magic mirror to probe the situation in the forest, "The magic mirror, explore the situation of the tower?" ”
"Yes, master!" The Magic Mirror perfectly executed William's orders, but in the next second, the Magic Mirror's answer made William feel imperfect, "Master, the location of the tower is covered by a large enchantment, including where the Demon Plantation Garden is located, and I can't detect it!" ”
"Is the Potions Master in there?" William asked with a frown.
"Master, I can't be sure!" The Magic Mirror replied truthfully.
William's brows furrowed even deeper, and the magic mirror had something to say, and it basically didn't have a subjective color.
William groaned on the spot for a moment, and after quietly leaving a few pieces of gold for Robert's family, he walked briskly towards the forest tower, the Potions Master's retreat.
Fleet of foot!
More than twenty minutes later, William arrived at the location of the tower in his memory.
The reason why it is said to be the location of the tower in memory is because it is covered by a large enchantment, which has psychedelic functions, and to William's naked eye, it is just some ordinary trees in front of him.
If you walk into it, you will be blinded by the psychedelic function of the enchantment, and you will be unconsciously deviated from the path and go to other parts of the forest, and in the sense of the intruder, he will not know that he is being led astray by the enchantment, but think that he is on the right path.
This is not the illusion field of the tide sound illusion fish, when William crossed over, he was in its illusion field, and even the magic mirror was hit.
The enchantment set up by the Potions Master does not have such a powerful hallucinogenic ability, which is okay for ordinary people, but it is difficult to be effective for guarded formal wizards, let alone William with the magic mirror on his side.
Of course, it's one thing to detect an enchantment anomaly, and it's another thing to be able to crack it.
Moreover, according to the results of the magic mirror, psychedelic functions are only some of the functions of this large enchantment, and it has more subtle changes.
William didn't mean to risk his life, but he didn't want to leave either.
There is still half a year to go, and the Kalachakra hourglass is full of energy, which can open the dark passage of time and space, return to the Black Domain, and seek revenge on the two dog witches.
The harvest by the sea gave William a lot of confidence, but William still wanted to enhance his strength and make his grasp a little bigger.
And the Potions Master is the most likely place for William to harvest.
William thought about it for a moment, then took a moment to stay in the forest outside the barrier.
He didn't believe it, this potions master and lettuce girl could really do anything and live in the tower for the rest of their lives, if they really hid in the tower.
With a gourmet table with him, William's wild life is not uncomfortable, he can eat whatever he wants, and when he is bored, he meditates, or continues to study witchcraft, although he can barely use the curse of fate, but there are still some things he doesn't understand and can't master thoroughly.
So William wasn't bored!
It's just that no matter how good patience is, if there is no positive feedback, it will be worn out.
One day, three days, five days...... One week, two weeks, three weeks...... January, two months......
By the time of two months, one week and three days, William could no longer stay.
For 70 days, neither the Potions Master nor the Lettuce Girl ever appeared.
Whether William is yelling, promising heavy profits, or even tentatively attacking the enchantment (the enchantment has a defensive function)!
Robert's family never appeared, except for a few village hunters who occasionally passed by on hunting, but that was all.
William finally couldn't meditate any further.
Now that he is a first-level crystallization wizard, two months of uninterrupted daily meditation can't improve his spiritual power by 0.1, so William is not willing to do this "hard work"!
He decided to find another way.
William suspected that the Potions Master was really not in the Tower, not even the Lettuce Girl.
In fact, William didn't know if Lettuce Girl would be slaughtered by the angry Potions Master, although William felt that this was very unlikely, and in the fairy tale "Lettuce Girl", the Potions Master played the role of an old witch who was only expelled from the Lettuce Girl and blinded the prince when she was confronted with the lettuce girl who was about to elope.
However, it doesn't matter if Girl Lettuce is on the tower that is not in the enchantment.
William directly asked the Magic Mirror to expand the search area, first to a county in the Duchy of Missisha, and no trace of the Lettuce Girl or the Potions Master was found in the entire county, and then to the whole of the Duchy of Missiha.
But this put a huge burden on William.
The Magic Mirror requires energy to expand its search range.
The source of energy can be varied, soul energy or magic.
This is not a battlefield, and there is not so much soul energy to provide, although William can only rely on his own magic power to supply the magic mirror to explore.
However, William's magic is limited, and with his ability, he can only support the magic mirror to explore an area and a half of the county every day.
And William's meditation also takes time to recover his magic.
Therefore, William could only intermittently supply the magic power of the magic mirror, and complete the detection of the entire Duchy of Missiha step by step.
- Still haven't found the Potions Master or the Lettuce Girl!
But William wasn't without gain!
In the Duchy of Misiha, in the unpolluted blue sky, a few flying white clouds were flying leisurely towards William's location, oh no, the Potions Master's tower.
Isn't it normal for white clouds to fly?
However, if these ordinary flying white clouds have a pair of smart cloud-like white eyes hidden in them, it will not be normal.
If it weren't for the Magic Mirror, even if ordinary people saw these swaying white clouds, they would only think they were ordinary white clouds!
Are they ordinary white clouds?
Obviously not, it can fight, have intelligence, and even devour a few "white clouds" of the same kind, which is obviously not in this category.
Cloud Demon!
The Magic Mirror immediately recognized their origin and informed William.
"The Cloud Demon, an ordinary white cloud on the high mountain, has been mutated by the radiation of the gem giant for many years, and the magical creatures produced have simple spiritual intelligence."
"And what is that gem boulder?" William's heart moved, and he asked the magic mirror again.
"The Gem Giant, one of the giants, feeds on gems, has a body as hard as a gem, and is highly resistant to many witchcraft. Because the gem giants only live on gems, their numbers are scarce and almost extinct! The Magic Mirror told William what he knew.
"Jewel Giant, Cloud Demon? Giants, cloud demons? William silently muttered these words in his heart, and a strong sense of familiarity came out of his heart.
After racking my brain and thinking for a while, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and finally remembered, isn't this the creature that appeared in the fairy tale "Magic Grass"?
The hero of "Magic Grass" was tricked by the witch's daughter into taking away the Ruyi cloak that could travel through space at will, and was trapped on a gem mountain, and was almost killed by the giant, and secretly heard the giant say that the white clouds on the top of the mountain would capture his precious information, so he bravely walked to the top of the mountain, and risked letting the white clouds capture him, and as a result, he was taken to a botanical garden full of magical lettuce, one lettuce can make people turn into donkeys when eaten, and another lettuce will turn into a human form if eaten. The hero relied on these two magical plants to turn the tables again and take away his two treasures.
William was already suspicious when he saw the Potions Master turn the lettuce girl's sweetheart into a donkey with lettuce, but at that time, William really didn't say anything, but secretly remembered it in his heart.
Now seeing this cloud demon flying towards the magic plant garden of the Potions Master, William was originally only skeptical, but now he is completely sure that the magic plant garden of the Potions Master is the magic plant garden that the hero of "Demon Grass" has visited.
William's eyes suddenly became hot, there are two most famous treasures in the fairy tale "Magic Grass", the first is a bird's heart that can find a gold coin under the pillow every day if you swallow it, and the second is the very famous Ruyi cloak.
The witch in the fairy tale introduced the cloak as follows: "You just put it on your body, and you will go wherever you think of it."
The bird's heart that produces gold coins is forgotten, if it is just an ordinary gold coin, it will be a chicken rib for William.
But the Ruyi cloak is different, if there is such a thing, but the enemy still flees for his life, it is a first-class weapon.
Think about it, if he had this cloak of Ruyi before, then in the face of the Missy Witch and her helpers, even if they were not opponents for a while, as long as they imagined, people could disappear in front of them with a "whoosh", go hundreds of miles, thousands of miles away, and they could only watch.
Then he used the magic mirror to probe their every move, and as soon as they fell into weakness, or separated, William used his ruyi cloak to escape behind them with a "whoosh", and before they could react, they were broken by each of them.
Think about it again, the innate sorcery of Void Concealment gives him concealment, the Magic Mirror is like an all-weather radar, like his eye in the sky, providing him with all kinds of situations, and then the cloak of wishful wishes, which gives him unparalleled mobility.
Together, these three treasures can produce an extraordinary effect that far exceeds 1+1+1=3.
Even if William goes too far in the fairy tale world or the real wizarding world in the future, and inadvertently faces the extraordinary power of the second-level wizard or above, with the Ruyi cloak on his body, it is equivalent to having a great chance of escape.
If he had this wishful cloak, in the face of those three unfathomable dwarves of fate, William would not have had to be so passive, maybe he could really walk away.
Just thinking about it made William's heart agitate.
Like a hungry wolf, he looked at the distant sky, where there were white clouds.
Ordinary white clouds and cloud demons were mixed together, and William couldn't tell them apart.
But William couldn't wait.
The white clouds were still swaying, not knowing that there were already people sharpening their knives on the ground.
Soon, though, William calmed down.
I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
Like a wolf, William lurked near the tower.
The Magic Mirror monitors the changes of the Cloud Demon in the sky at all times.
No matter how big the mana consumption is, William will provide it as if he doesn't want a magic stone.
Although the Magic Mirror had been monitoring these Cloud Demons for a long time, by the time they "laughed" and came to the sky above the Potions Master's Demon Plantation Garden, it was already two hours later.
