Chapter 208: A Day Trip to the Town (1)
With the quiet return of Aldrich Triss, the conviviality of the town of the Grotesque, the heart of the tiny festival world, has become even more intense, even the sun soaking in the bathtub in the depths of the sky has joined in the fun.
In a panic, he grabbed the handrail and stood up, wiped all the water away with a dry bath towel, left the bathtub full of bubbles, and wrung out the wet towel casually.
There was a light rain in the sky, and the night breeze was blown away before it landed, and the moon rowing a small boat in the sky, couldn't help but look down at the clock tower on his wrist, and the "watch" showed that it was not yet time to get off work, but he was urged to leave his post, and pulled down the night bandana angrily, and quietly disappeared.
With a "whew", the sun rose from the east not far away, opened his burning eyes, looked at the Lord of the Grotesque, blew a crisp whistle, and saw Aldrich Triss put his hand on his forehead, and immediately took out a pair of sunglasses from behind him and put them on himself.
"Don't be surprised! The sun is so headstrong, but at heart, it's a good boy. ”
After putting on the sunglasses, the bright sunlight weakened a lot, not as dazzling as just now, but the fields on both sides of the winding road, following the routine of the biological clock, the vegetables that were still sleeping were woken up.
The hot peppers who are sleep-deprived, with gray and black circles under their eyes, languishing spirits, and a weak demeanor, I don't know if they can resist the zombies who came to steal vegetables today.
The demigod Lori does not appreciate the jet lag between the sun and the moon, but is interested in the childlike mischievous sun and moon: "In the world of the grotesque, everything that happens is magically incredible. ”
Aldrich Triss nodded lightly without saying a word, and as he passed a field of ripe yellow corn, he beckoned gently to the eldest of the pitcher's brothers, whose whiskers were woven into a basket.
"Hey...... Yo! Give me a handful of butter and a handful of corn kernels, and I'll entertain guests from afar. ”
The corn pitcher opened his wistful eyes, saw the identity of the speaker, spat on his hands, smoothed his shiny beard, and then pinched his nose and held his breath until his face turned red, and with a "poof", a piece of butter cubit-long and wrist-thick fell into the basket.
"Whew!"
The eldest of the pitcher's brothers immediately straightened his hair, and the butter bricks rose into the air, crossed the perfect parabola, and immediately smashed on Aldrich Triss's head, "frozen" him on the spot.
Since the helmet of the eagle instantly lifted the negative state, the butter bricks on the top showed no pressure, even if a large hail of corn kernels fell, he still shrugged his shoulders slightly, held the back of his hand and covered his mouth to forcibly hold back the laughing demigod Lori, into the grotesque town where the colorful flower salute was fired from time to time.
The cabbage and watermelon in the pitcher's brothers, seeing Aldrich Triss being "attacked" by the boss, tacitly picked up his fist and beat the corn pitcher, during which many plump corn kernels fell and began to take root and sprout as soon as they fell to the ground.
"What are you doing?" the corn pitcher, who had not yet woken up, was furious, these grains were so precious that it was painful to lose one.
The cabbage pitcher and the watermelon pitcher had black faces, stood up and looked down at the boss, exerting pressure like a mountain collapsing: "Look what you've done!"
Suddenly remembering what had just happened, the eldest of the pitcher brothers was finally a little frightened, trembling and slumped, originally half-curled in the dirt, but now he was even more low and invisible.
"This ostrich!" Cabbage pulled the corn pitcher out of the ground with all her strength, "What are you afraid of? ”
The three vegetable pitchers hugged each other, and the boat of friendship did not capsize, and seemed to be more stable than before, which immediately attracted the interest of the other plant warriors in the field.
The walls of the town of the Grotesque are a row of nuts taller than a man, arm in arm, holding the last line of defense through their brotherhood, looking into the distance with a determined gaze to deliver messages to their vegetable brothers in the fields.
Walking hand in hand through the town's gates, there is a straight avenue at the end of the road, and Aldrich Tris leads the way, leading the way to the mushroom hut in the center of the town.
The umbrella-shaped roof is a slightly charred pizza pie, the chimney is a hollow sausage, and the walls are made of sugar cubes for brewing coffee.
"Everything seems to have gotten bigger with a magnifying glass, maybe we've shrunk it down. ”
Helena Sériès walked into the cottage in amazement and saw Aldrich Triss remove the butter bricks almost completely, scoop up the parts with a spoon, and place them on the frying pan with the corn kernels.
"Bring me a fire!"
I don't know who he is giving orders to, seeing that there is no response, the Virtue Knight who put away his shiny armor turned his head and apologized to the demigod Lori's forehead, and opened the small door of the stove, revealing a magical elf curled up inside, who had not yet woken up, the little fire dragon.
Quietly tugging at its tail, the little fire dragon shuddered, raised its head and spewed hot flames at the stovetop frying pan.
The butter melted instantly, and the grains were full, and the yellow and translucent corn crackled and turned into a plate of crispy and delicious popcorn, and the air was suddenly filled with a warm sweetness, which was the taste of happiness felt by farmers who had worked all day to taste the fruits of their hard work when they rested.
Closing the small door of the stove, Aldrich Triss picked up the frying pan, turned around and came to the demigod Lori, the tiger skin carpet under her feet, the huge tiger head smelled the fragrance, opened her mouth and yawned, and it seemed that she did not wake up.
With a "whoosh" sound, there was no response, it licked its mouth, turned its head left and right, and did not find the two people standing on it, so it closed its eyes and continued to sleep on its stomach.
"Activation!" Helena Sériès looked around the room at the simple furnishings, which could be animated by any touch of creatures, including reindeer heads hanging from the fireplace.
"It'...... The only exception!" Following the demigod Lori's gaze, Aldrich Triss saw the deer head for decoration and explained unhurriedly.
"Don't forget, the origin of the title of King of the Reindeer......!
Before the words were finished, the reindeer stretched its neck, rolled away a few popcorn with its fat tongue, and chewed on it very much, enjoying the sweet taste very much.
"Thank you for your hospitality!"
Then, seeing that the wall was not there, it withdrew and quietly moved away from the fireplace, revealing the window that had been used for ventilation.
"It can talk! A reindeer, it can talk!"
Helena Sériès looked at the Knight of Virtue in amazement, but Aldrich Triss shrugged her shoulders slightly, "No way! ”
There was the sound of tapping and tapping footsteps outside, and the demigod Lori reached out to pick up a handful of popcorn from the frying pan, walked quickly to the outside of the mushroom hut, and saw the talking reindeer walking in the back garden.
"Is this your rose?"
It lowered its head, unceremoniously stuck out its tongue, and swept away the dewy petals on it.
After the main meal, savour some fresh and delicious desserts, just enough to satisfy its discerning palate, and flick its tail triumphantly and flick it at Helena Sérières.
Aldrich Triss just came out with a frying pan and sighed when he saw the damage to his well-tended back garden, but he didn't say anything about it.
"It tastes good, will come more often in the future. ”
The talking reindeer saw their master's house appear, and unhurriedly gave up the remaining half of the roses and walked forward proudly.
Ahead is a railing, high enough to protect against ordinary domestic animals, but they can't stop the sleigh reindeer that can fly in the wind.
"Oh, look, what is this?
Jumping lightly, he leaps over gracefully like a prince dolphin in the Blue Water Elf. It proudly continued to walk forward, suddenly turned, raised its right front hoof, and made an indecent gesture.
Lori, the demigod, looked up and saw Aldrich Triss with black noodles on his face and a crow "Wow...... Wow" flew by, and the scene became awkward, and she couldn't help but laugh.
For the first time, Helena Sériès swore that for the first time she had seen the Virtuous Knight suffer, and that she was powerless to fight back, for the other party was only a reindeer.
"Be careful! Friends of the Wilderness have been in the town of the Grotesque lately, a sign of the dissolution of the invisible border. ”
Aldrich Triss flicked his wrist, his eyes fixed on the sleigh reindeer drifting away, "Just in the absence of a mount to take over, catch this mischievous mischievous and compensate for my loss a little." ”
The demigod Lori took the frying pan and the crispy and delicious popcorn, and after tasting it, she already liked it, and just as the Virtue Knight was planning to capture the mount, Helena Thirriès certainly wanted to see a good show.
"Activating Rope Commander!"
Aldrich Triss casually shouted, and the sword that had been placed in the mage's tower immediately appeared in his hand. With his palm against the hilt of the sword, his fingers gently pressed the gem set in the sword, and slowly turned it, and an invisible mysterious force was released, giving life to the nearby rope.
In the back garden, the strings wrapped around the pens were the first to respond, untying the slipknot on their own, crawling on the ground like snakes, and cleverly using the cover of the lawn to come to the side of the sleigh reindeer.
Feeling the smell of good-natured mischief, he proudly raised his head and looked at the reindeer Bilis with his chin, and in an instant, his hooves were windy, and he spread his feet and flew into the sky.
Although the activation rope wrapped around its hind hooves in time, it was a pity that the slender material could not save the reindeer, and it escaped from the hastily arranged trap.
"Hey...... Hey ha...... Hah!"
The sleigh reindeer rejoiced in its luck and floated through the air and sneered at the trap of the activated rope, but it didn't know who was doing it.
"It's me!"
Aldrich Tris teleported to Billis's side, unable to wield the Winged Boots, and the title of Lord of the Grotesque gave him various privileges, which he usually disguised on foot and revealed only when needed.
The rider sat on the back of the sleigh reindeer, grabbed its great horns with both hands, and pushed it forward vigorously, trying to impress Bilis's pride.
"You're dreaming!"
Its instinct to ride the wind keeps it alive, writhing in the sky above the grotesque town, outpacing a raging wild horse or a raging bull.
However, after tossing for half an hour, he was exhausted and had to stop, but he still couldn't get rid of Aldrich Triss, and despite the fact that his heart had been relented, Bilis's mouth did not admit defeat.
The Virtue Knight withdrew his right hand and gently scratched the chin of the sleigh reindeer, which was Bilis's weakness, and immediately squinted his eyes with a look of great enjoyment.
"My life's menu, a total of 356 delicious dishes, one every day, guaranteed not to be the same!"
Billis's saliva flowed suddenly, and he nodded lightly in shame, and landed on the ground, waiting for Aldrich Triss to let go of his hand, and obediently lowered his proud head.
"The dry ground is beautiful!" Lori, the demigod, clapped her hands lightly, shocked by the scene that had just happened in front of her.
The Knight of Virtue accepted Helena Serriès's approval, and then glanced to her side, "Where's my frying pan?"
The demigod Lori was stunned and speechless, looking around to the left and right, and did not see Aldrich Triss's cutlery, but the eye for insight into the essence of things was still there, and she easily found a string of carefully disguised footprints in the back garden.
Following a few clues, she saw a slender figure in a red velvet robe disappear into the corner, and she remembered a pair of pointed wolf ears and a woven basket in her hand.
