"This Yugu is really far away..."After receiving Lushu's reply, I quickly set off again, and when I left, I took the sake brewing recipes that needed to be translated, leaving Tsubaki, who was weak, and it was already four days after I arrived at Yuya.

If you follow the map, it should be Yugu not far ahead, and the one called Dijiang doesn't know where it is, does it really know about the monster epidemic?

As I thought so, I was blocked by a lake.

In front of me was a huge lake, and I couldn't even see where the other side of the lake was, and the location of Yuya on the map was nearby.

There is a round island in the middle of the lake, and in the center of the island there is an equally huge tree, so big that the canopy stretches out of the edge of the island, reflecting on the mirror-like surface of the lake, the lake, mountains and sky shadows merge with each other, like a fairyland of Yaochi, there may be something on the island.

But although I saw the island, how to get there is another problem.

There was no one nearby, no boats, not even the shadow of a monster, and it seemed impossible to swim over, so I sat by the lake for half an hour and didn't find a way to get on the island in the middle of the lake, and I was even more anxious when I thought about the monster epidemic, and I wished I had a wing to fly directly over.

Just as I was in a hurry, I suddenly felt a shadow pass me quickly.

"Is anyone here?" I shouted, but nothing was heard but my echo.

"It's weird... With such a big lake, there is not even a single fish. I muttered, and sat on the ground and tossed the water back and forth with my hands, but no matter how hard I tried to disturb the water, the lake would still return to calm at a great speed, reflecting me like a mirror.

"Who, who!" a disgruntled voice came to my ears, "what bold fellow dares to disturb my sweet dreams!"

The sound came from in this mirror-like lake.

"You!That's right, you're talking about you!" a shrill voice sounding annoyed, coming towards me, "What the knock is at noon, and you don't let people take a lunch break!"

"Uh... Excuse me. "I looked around, and I could feel the voices getting closer, but I couldn't see where the guy was talking was.

"Where are you looking!" the guy sounded even more angry, "Ben-sama is so tall, can't you see it!"

I could be sure the sound was right in front of me, but I still didn't find anything.

"Look down!" said the shrill one.

Look down, but there's a lake down there?

Beneath the mirror-like surface of the lake, a giant was looking up at me, and the surface of the lake was like a skylight that split the lake into two halves.

I took a few steps back in surprise, and almost sat on the ground, the giant below the lake was more than five meters tall, with a head the size of two watermelons, and eyes as wide as copper bells, looking at me with a fierce look, feeling that it would come out of the lake and eat me in minutes.

"What are you running, am I that scary!" the giant's voice did not match his appearance.

"It's scary," I whispered, who would have thought that there would be a giant under the water.

"Did I scare you?" the giant's attitude suddenly turned one hundred and eighty degrees, "I'm sorry, little girl, I didn't mean to, I have a problem with this person is that I get up too angry, don't worry about it." ”

"...?" What the hell is going on.

"Why don't you speak? Where are you from? It's been many, many years since I last saw the dwarfs, well, how many years, let me do the math, oh I can't figure it out—" The giant with a thin voice began to mutter to himself.

"Dwarf—" I felt my facial muscles twitch in protest as Leng Buding was buttoned up in his dwarf hat, "that's what you call humans?"

"Oops!

“... Don't call me a little girl..."

"Little girl, what are you doing here, are you coming to visit our Terrans? We welcome you, don't look at our size, we're so stupid compared to you..."

That's when I remembered why I came to Yuya.

"What do I call you?" I kept as far distance as I could from the lake.

"My name is Bluefingers!" he sounded excited, as if he had been waiting for me to ask his name, "because my fingers are blue!" the giant looked proud as he reached his hand closest to the lake.

"Blue fingers," I looked at the huge blue palm below the lake, and the owner of the palm was looking at me expectantly, presumably waiting for me to compliment him, "It's a magical color." ”

"Yes, I knew you hadn't seen it!" he said triumphantly.

"That, Blue Finger," I always think the name is awkward...

"What's wrong, my little girl?"

“... I'm here to find a guy named Dijiang, do you know?"

"Acquaintance," the giant stretched out his blue finger and pointed in the direction of the island in the middle of the lake, "do you see that tree, Dijiang lives on that tree." ”

"Is there any better way to get to the center of the lake?" I pointed to myself, "I'm too short to walk on the bottom of the lake like you, and I don't have a boat or anything here." ”

The giant scratched his head and blinked again, "In... Walking on the bottom of the lake? That's what you say, right?"

I nodded, not thinking anything was wrong.

"I don't understand," he said, looking confused, "why do you say I'm walking at the bottom of the lake? I'm not in the lake?"

He said he wasn't in the lake, but he was actually below the lake, and I was a little confused.

Wait, when I stirred the water before, the giant woke him up not by the sound of water, but by the sound of percussion.

"Blue Finger, where are you talking to me now?" I asked.

"At the mouth of the well next to my house," he said earnestly, not like a joke, "aren't you on the other side of the well?"

Is there another world beneath the surface of this lake?

"Where is your home?"

"In the kingdom of adults, you don't know?"

Adult Country... Beneath the surface of the lake, there is a completely different world.

"The first time I've heard of it," I replied, "can you see the island in the middle of the lake over there?"

"Island, what island?"

“... That's where you pointed me out. ”

"There's no island there, there's only one big tree. The giant said.

"Can you walk to the tree?" I asked, tentatively.

"Of course you can, what's so hard about that. ”

If my guess is correct, then there must be an entrance to the kingdom of adults on the surface of this lake, and once you enter the kingdom of adults, you may be able to find the Dijiang River.

"Blue Finger, can I go to your kingdom to have a look?" I said, "There is a very urgent matter that needs to be found in Dijiang, but I can't get close to the tree, and it will be different with your help." ”

"Really! Do you really want to come here!" the giant danced with joy, and I could hear his feet on the ground, "It's so good!

Dwarf... Well, I do get a lot shorter than him.

"How can I get there?" I asked.

"Haha, why don't you even know this, doesn't it mean that the dwarfs are smart," he laughed, "come on, put your hand over." ”

"Hands?" I raised my arm and shook it.

"Yes, didn't you keep knocking, just like just now, and reach out. ”

I hesitated, then put my hand into the mirror-like lake again, and my big blue hand stretched out two fingers, carefully pinched my hand, and dragged me down the lake.

Before I could get scared, I found myself standing on the ground again, and when I looked up, the well I was talking about was above me, and the water was as clear as a mirror, reflecting the other side of the lake.

The giant stood next to me, looking even taller than before.

"Come, I'll show you around here. Lan Zhihan said with a smile.
