Chapter 62: Blackwater and the Mask

It was pouring rain outside, and Friyse sat on the edge of her bed and looked out the window at the dark clouds, and although it was a comfortable day, it was so boring that there was no one to talk to.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Friys got out of bed and ran to open the door, her expression a little excited.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess......"

"I think about it...... Sister Kanlina! ”

"I didn't think Her Royal Highness would remember me?"

"Uh...... Is there anything wrong with you? Don't you go back to your own home? ”

Kanrina smiled and shook her head, she suddenly took Friys's hands and said, "Your Highness Princess, please tell me what Lord Itkati likes?" ”

"Huh? What!? Wait a minute...... You can come in first. ”

"Okay."

Friyse sat on her bed in duck fashion, with a pillow in her hand, while Canlina sat on the edge of the bed.

"You said my brother likes something, right?"

"Yes."

"I want to think about this...... I don't know what he likes, maybe he likes swordsmanship! ”

"Swordsmanship?"

"I heard that my brother's swordsmanship is very strong, so I should like it very much, so I practice such swordsmanship."

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, please teach me swordsmanship!"

"Huh? I'm not very good at swordsmanship! It would be better to find someone else, right? ”

"But Her Royal Highness ...... Princess"

"Find ...... Let's do it! She should be able to teach you swordsmanship, but I don't think you can make my brother like it even if you learn swordsmanship, Sister Kanna. ”

"Why?"

"Because I think delicate women like us should drink tea, chat, and do quiet things, just like my mother."

"Lord Irali? …… Good! I want to be a good woman like Irali-sama. ”

"Then come on."

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess."

"No thanks, just call me Friys in the future."

"Yes, Lord Friys."

Kalina took Flys's hand and bowed to her in thanks, and then Kalimna left Flys's room full of energy, and the room was quiet in an instant, except for the sound of the rain.

"There's no one again...... My mother is gone, my brother is not here, and I seem to have gone out with that noisy man............"

Friys held a pillow against half of her face, and she shook her feet under the bed in a sullen manner, her feet in white stockings that kept shaking and making it impossible to take her eyes off.

The knock on the door sounded again, and Friys only responded weakly, and walked slowly to the bed, and she looked at Friys on the bed with a smile, her eyes fixed on the feet.

"What's wrong? Bearded. ”

"Someone is looking for you."

"Who?"

"The Ninth Sage, Onefi."

"I don't know."

"Do you know about Elenka?"

"Elenka...... What's wrong? ”

"Please come with me, sir."

Friys quickly put down the pillow and looked at the duck sitting on him, and the duck immediately opened the portal with the Shiki, and the man crouched down to put on the shoes of Friys and stretched out a hand, and Friys dragged the gentle hand.

After passing through the light blue portal, they came to the tree again, and Onefi was sitting in a chair reading a book, and now she realized that the wall was full of books, and she looked up at the depths like an abyss, and the highest part of the tree was not visible at all.

Onefi placed the thick book in his hand on the table that seemed to grow straight out of the wood, and he held out a hand to signal Jeku to pour the tea, and a table and two round chairs literally grew out from under their feet.

"Sit ......"

"Thank you......" Friys nodded to Onefi, put her hands on the back of her skirt and sat down in her chair, her hands resting obediently on the table.

"Don't be too nervous...... I'm a good person. ”

"Bad people can also say that they are good people, right?"

"That's embarrassing...... Hahaha. ”

"Hmm...... It's embarrassing. ”

Then both of them laughed out one after another, but it was a very embarrassing sneer, but with such a smile, the original awkward and tense atmosphere was eased a lot.

Jeku placed two cups of hot tea in front of the two of them, this cup of tea was brown and steaming on it, and the texture of the teacup was also very good, and it seemed to be a very high-end teacup.

Flyss carefully picked up the teacup, she blew lightly on it, and then she passed it to her lips and drank a little.

Friys frowned, stuck out her tongue, and said, "It's so bitter......"

"Sure enough, the princess is afraid of hardship......"

"Jeku!"

"Good...... I won't say anything. ”

"Excuse me...... Jeku only has some poison, but he has no ill will. ”

"Hmm...... It's okay. ”

She had been staring sharply at Jeku, her eyes emitting a cold light as if she were about to tear someone apart, but she knew that her rudeness here would also make Friys lose face, so she restrained herself.

"Jeku, take out the cake."

"Wait a minute! Teacher: I waited in line for a long time to buy the cake! ”

"Then bring out the bread again."

"Count! I'll take the cake anyway, the bread there is harder to buy. ”

After a while, Jaku put two cakes on the plate, the delicate cake was very attractive, Friys's eyes stayed on the cake, the combination of different colors made the cake very layered, but the color was well grasped and there was no bells and whistles, and the amount of fruit and cake was also perfectly proportioned.

"Wow...... It's beautiful! It's delicious! ”

"Of course...... This is made by the owner himself, although it is difficult to buy in the store normally, so this is super rare at all! You were eaten like this...... Damn it! ”

Onefi glared at Jeku, Jeku immediately covered his mouth, his eyes were full of unwillingness, Onefi smiled and said to Friys, "You're welcome, you can't eat enough bread." ”

As he said this, Onefi glanced at Jeku, whose eyes widened with helplessness, but Friys said, "No, thank you for your kindness." Jeku breathed a sigh of relief at this remark.

Friys ate the cake in two bites, she touched her stomach and showed a feasting expression, Jaku's heart was already dripping blood, and the cake she had not eaten all day was eaten by the girl in front of her.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you're done eating, let's talk about business."

"What's the matter? That's right! What happened to Elenka? ”

"She's fine, nothing happened, and you wouldn't have come if I hadn't used Elenka, would you?"

"Right...... I don't know you, so what's the matter? ”

Onefi snapped his fingers, and a strange layer covered Onefi and Fleiis, and now the conversation between the two was inaudible to Woo and Jeku.

"The mask appeared."

"What's that?"

"The body of the 'Fourth Sage', that can't be destroyed and can't be owned, that thing needs someone to seal, but the location is not very certain, probably on the border of the kingdom."

"Do you want me to go?!"

"Right...... Because you are now the "tenth sage", and other sages are not easy to communicate. ”

"Then why don't you just go by yourself?"

"Although I am the 'Ninth Sage', I am not suitable for fighting, so this matter can only be relied on you."

"I'm a weak ......"

"As long as the mask doesn't meet the 'Black Water' and the 'Fourth Sage', it won't be resurrected."

"Resurrection?"

"Yes, the 'Fourth Sage' has no substance, nor is it imaginary, it can rely on 'Black Water' to build its own body."

"And what is 'black water'?"

"'Black Water' is the product of the 'Fourth Sage', and I don't know exactly how it was created, but the nature of 'Black Water' is roughly the same as that of the 'Fourth Sage', and 'Black Water' cannot be destroyed, but it can be stored."

"Wouldn't it be enough to get rid of it?"

"No, there have been people who have done this before, and it caused the "black water" to quickly pollute the entire forest, so the animals and plants quickly withered and the whole forest became a desert, which is the origin of the sea of sand."

"Uh......"

"Now there are only three bottles of 'Black Water', and I'll tell you later, if the three bottles come into contact with the mask, the 'Fourth Sage' will be resurrected."

"Wait! I don't think I said yes yet! ”

"You have believers, right?"

"Don't take a fuss!"

"Will you say yes?"

"Uh...... Consider considering ......"

"Do you still want to eat the cake just now?"

"Don't tempt me!"

"You can eat as much as you want in the future!"

"This ......... It's impossible to refuse. ”

"Do you say yes?"

"But ......"

"It's just to seal the mask, and you don't have to fight the 'Fourth Sage', it's not too dangerous, and you still have believers to protect you."

"How much cake to eat?"

"...... right"

"I promised."

"Okay."

Onefi snapped his fingers again, and the barrier-like thing disappeared in an instant, and Onefi said to the servant, "Her Royal Highness has agreed, and you can't refuse." ”

He seemed to want to say something, but Friys grabbed him, and he obediently stood by Fryis's side.

Onefi took out a piece of paper and a pen, and he wrote three different locations, which he then handed to Frius.

"These are three locations."

"Oh......"

"It's easy to come here in the future, just take this stone and inject magic into contact with the tree."

Onefi took out a gray-white stone from the pocket of his clothes, the surface of the stone was very smooth, and there was a strange pattern on it, and the size of the stone was only about five to four centimeters.

Friys gave the stone to the man for the time being, and the spirit of the man reappeared, the light blue portal reappeared, and the breeze coming out of the portal blew everyone's hair slightly, and Friys took the lead in entering the portal, and the man glanced at Jeku and then entered the portal.
