Chapter 20: The Dandanban (4)
The Falling Moon Forest is named after the Falling Moon Lake in the middle of the forest. Legend has it that in ancient times, the moon was inhabited by a goddess, and the goddess lived alone in the moon palace, day after day, because she was too lonely, the goddess decided to come to the world to play. When she landed in the world, she found that the world was not as beautiful as she imagined.
It was a time of famine, and the drought led to no harvest for many years, and what was even more terrible was that so many people died of starvation that there was no time to deal with it, and the plague broke out, and the whole continent was like purgatory on earth.
The kind-hearted goddess incarnated as a doctor, using spells and herbs to save the wounded, and soon became very famous, and the plague was well controlled.
In the process of practicing medicine, the goddess became acquainted with another young doctor, who was kind and loved life, but he had no intention of curing the sick and saving people, and the two went from acquaintance to acquaintance, and from acquaintance to love.
But the good times were short-lived, and day after day, droughts and famines did not alleviate in the slightest, but intensified, and death and pestilence struck again.
This time, even the doctor himself was not spared, because of the drought, even there was a shortage of medicine, and seeing her beloved weaken day by day, the goddess's heart was like a knife.
In order to save her lover who was about to die, the goddess resolutely gave up the mana of her whole body, and finally attracted Nimbus. The parched land was watered and the sick were healed, but the goddess herself was dissipated between heaven and earth because of the loss of her mana.
After the heavy rain, a lake appeared in the place where the two lived, and people named the lake Luoyue Lake in honor of the goddess who sacrificed themselves. In order to remember his beloved love, the doctor planted the goddess's favorite tree by the lake every day in his spare time, and over time a large forest was gradually formed.
The reason why the legend is called a legend is because it is mixed with too much emotional sustenance of people, so it is naturally not true, but the title of Luoyue Lake is not all groundless.
Because of its special location, you can see the full moon near the lake all year round, but the strange thing is that as soon as you step out of the range of the moon forest, this phenomenon will disappear, which is one of the reasons why the legend of the moon god has endured.
The goal of the three Leach's trip, in addition to arresting the "Dandan", has another task, that is, to go to the Falling Moon Lake to collect the "Full Moon Flower" there.
The Full Moon Flower is a specialty of Falling Moon Lake, a very rare ingredient for medicine and alchemy, but it is rarely in demand because it is possible to find a substitute with slightly less effective but similar characteristics and more production.
To be honest, when Liliet saw this mission, Leach still sighed a little bit about why things were so coincidental, and on the map that Wright handed him, Falling Moon Lake happened to be one of the places where the "Egg Baron" was most likely to land.
Leach and his party had already searched the possible hiding places of the "Egg Baron" on the outskirts of the Falling Moon Forest, and they wasted a week of time for this, and at this time, the map in Leach's hand was only the place where the Falling Moon Lake was not crossed.
In this regard, Leach felt both happy and helpless. Fortunately, I finally saw the dawn of completing the task, but helplessly, after such a long time again, the "Dandan" may have subdued enough Warcraft, and the next battle is afraid that it will not be easy.
In contrast, Lena and Saya are much happier than Rich, after staying in the forest for such a long time, both of them feel that their bodies have stink, although one of them is slow to react, the other is old-fashioned, but after all, they are girls, and the most unbearable thing in the wild is that they can't take a bath, and now the only remaining destination is Falling Moon Lake, how can there be any reason to be unhappy.
"Alright, let's rest there for the night today!" said Leach, pointing to a small clearing not far ahead, as the sky began to darken.
"Young master, how long is it going to arrive, I feel slimy, so uncomfortable......"
Leach had heard the same words many times in the past few days, and without even looking at the map, he replied while sprinkling special powder all around: "At our current pace, we will be there by tomorrow afternoon at the latest." Lena, bear with me, you can take a shower tomorrow. ”
The powder used by Leach was refined from the glands of a magical beast called the Shield Skunk. The shield skunk is a low-level monster, omnivorous, with a head as long as a small shield, and two sarcomas on either side of its neck, with glands growing inside the sarcoma.
In order to protect itself, the gland of the shield skunk will secrete a liquid with a pungent smell, this smell is extremely irritating to the warcraft with a keen sense of smell, and when the shield skunk is attacked, it will spew out this liquid, basically no warcraft can tolerate this smell, and it is a good means to expel other warcraft.
And through the refined powder, its effect of expelling demonic beasts is more significant, and adventure hunters who have been active in the wild for a long time have a share, and with it, they don't have to worry about being attacked by demonic beasts that forage for food at night.
"It stinks!" Lina, who likes dark cuisine, is particularly sensitive to this taste, and every time Leach takes it out, she will cover her nose and hide away.
Since Saya joined the team, the happiest thing is not Lina, who has hired super cheap labor, but Leach, who has been secretly having fun by himself, and without him, he finally doesn't have to continue to eat Lena's dark dishes.
In fact, Leach has not made any efforts, and wants to cook for himself, but every time Lena will refuse for various reasons, what young master can't do this kind of rough work, what man can't be entangled in housework, in a word: if you want to cook by yourself, no way!
Leach's taste buds were destroyed by Lena for a whole decade, and when he first ate the unsightly food prepared by Saya a few days ago, Leach was even moved to tears, God knows how Leach survived all these years.
As a party to the case, Saya is very embarrassed. I know very well what level my cooking skills are, that is, the level of ordinary home-cooked food, but I am embarrassed to open my mouth to cook a few dishes by myself, Leach acts as if he has eaten the world's top deliciousness, and Saya even thought that Leach was satirizing his poor cooking skills and embarrassed to come out and be embarrassed.
But when Saya tasted the meal prepared by Lina, who looked very different, she finally felt Leach's feelings, and from then on, the responsibility of cooking fell on Saya's shoulders, but she was good at cooking. No way, there is always someone with tears in their eyes who praises you for making delicious dishes, why are you embarrassed not to do it better?
