Volume 1 Mountain Village 77: A Human Boy

Roses are edible.

The witch excitedly announced the incident to her pets.

As the validity period of the badger grass had expired, the two mourning birds did not understand what she meant, and when they saw her showing a happy appearance, they also became happy.

Fang Nuo squatted on the grass, his face black.

He scooped up a rose petal from the ground, which had inadvertently fallen off the mother's body during the process of carrying the flower pot by the spiritual power line, and it was still fresh.

Fang Nuo put it in his mouth with a blank expression.

For their demon beasts, no matter what kind of grass it is, it is edible.

They all contain a certain amount of spiritual power, which can speed up the cultivation of the user and make up for the difference in spiritual power after the impurities in the atmospheric spiritual power are discharged from their bodies.

Even if it is a poisonous herb, the demon beasts can extract the toxins in it through spiritual power, store it in the body or use it for other purposes.

Therefore, many demon beasts whose ancestors are animal-like creatures firmly believe that they are inherently stronger than plant-based demon beasts, and the upper limit is also higher.

But in fact, the difference between plant-based demon beasts and ordinary plants is as big as the difference between demon beasts and living beings.

Just as the dryads never equate themselves with trees, they also feed on plants, and occasionally keep an eye on other creatures passing by for a change of taste.

For Fang Nuo, grass gnawing was so easy that he had to wonder if he was suffering from "pica".

He remembered that his clansmen would come into contact with various herbs on a daily basis, such as the "blood tonic herb" used to make healing potions, or the "Alocasia" with a poisonous juice that was often used on traps around the territory......

However, no yellow fairy is as willing to "taste a hundred herbs" as he is.

In Fang Nuo's view, eating unfamiliar herbs is just a way to know them, which is learning.

"Well, you're such a weirdo......"

I still remember the first time he introduced the weeds on the side of the road to his peers and showed off his knowledge, the "playmates" around him all had surprised expressions, as if they were surprised that "such a strange character would appear in the carnivorous Huangxian family".

Quan regarded it as an after-dinner snack, Fang Nuo thought so at that time.

Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem strange that the awakened ability can construct herbs that I have never seen before.

Although he accepted it at once, there was almost no process of adaptation during the period.

"Oooh!" Blackie's cry brought Fang Nuo back to reality from his contemplation.

He struggled to swallow the crumbs of the petals that had been chewed up, and when he looked up, he saw the witch who had an extra book in her hand at some point.

The title of the book is "Another Time and Space: The Other Era", and at first glance, she knows that it was left to her by a human being, probably as a reward for the commission.

At this time, the witch was exerting force with both hands at the same time, clutching the edge of the book tightly.

The poor pages were crumpled by the palms of her hands, and she knew nothing about it.

It's like I saw a certain text while flipping through a book, and I was deeply shocked...... Fang Nuo, who witnessed this scene, analyzed it silently, and his thoughts inevitably drifted to other things.

What could make this human so out of shape was something she had been investigating a few days ago?

It's a pity that Noka didn't have time to explain it clearly, and he was manipulated by the witch...... Fang Nuo sighed secretly, feeling a little annoyed in his heart about how a certain human who had already hit the road was no longer a little reckless.

At that time, that human should not have turned around to test the witch, and after realizing her identity, he should have spoken out and confronted her face to face!

In this way, even if he is killed on the spot by the angry witch, he can still help himself in the audit, and it is not a waste of life.

"Oooh!"

Xiao Hei, who stopped on the witch's shoulder, screamed again, and then, he lowered his head and looked at Fang Nuo, whose thoughts were deserting again:

"What's wrong with the witch? She seemed to be greatly stimulated. ”

Fang Nuo straightened up and spread his arms, indicating that he could only read words, not hearts.

Realizing that the little beast on the ground was unreliable, the two mourning birds let out a few meaningless screams at the same time, as if they had agreed to do so, until the witch took her attention off the page.

"I'm sorry...... Yes. The witch suddenly lost her strength, her legs went limp, and she slid on the lawn with the book in her arms.

Why apologize?

The little beast that had been curled up in a ball by the mourning birds stretched out its body again, and looked at the witch who had just been excited with a puzzled expression.

"I just found out......," the silver-haired witch covered her face and sat on the ground with her knees folded, "roses are actually edible and inedible!" ”

Come on! Only humans care about that!

"Lady Setia looks like ornamental roses...... "she whispered with her cheeks back, "and honestly, do they really meet my needs?" ”

You haven't confirmed it, and you still ask people for so much? Fang Nuo listened to it with a burst of embarrassment, he clearly remembered that the witch had mentioned it in her self-talk not long ago, saying:

They (roses) are expensive.

That's a kind human being...... Known as "Widow Setia", Fang Nuo thought to himself that he would provide so many pots of roses that were about to bloom because of the words of this self-proclaimed "village guardian".

After all, did the witch buy these or did someone else give them to her?

If it's a gift, you should be considerate of other people's feelings, and don't think "Anyway, it doesn't matter how many you eat"!

This witch!

He didn't think that the witch needed to use the pile of "gold leaves" she had saved to live in this village.

Although the humans in the village feared her and excluded her, they also asked for her and relied on her.

In this village, she should be able to "respond to requests", otherwise, she is not worthy of the characters she has created for herself - "witch", "guardian of the village" and the like, aren't they all characters with a certain prestige?

"I'd like to try making tea with rose petals." He listened to the witch say "in despair".

"Oh! Oh! ”

In the field of vision, the two miscellaneous birds flew up and down beside the human, as if in response to her depressed mood.

Fang Nuo let out a "heh" in his heart, and wordlessly set his eyes on the witch's hut.

His gaze seemed to be able to look beyond the eaves to the white oak tree planted in the back garden.

"A whole oak tree, and roses with dew...... The conditions are all in place. ”

"I really want her to undo the curse of the Emperor as soon as possible." Fang Nuo looked at the witch and watched her stand up with the "encouragement" of the mourning birds, and walked into the sea of roses made up of flower pots, "so ......"

"She'll be able to understand me......"

"I'll be able to take away her spiritual power!" The snow-white little beast touched its chin, and the scene of his devouring witch's power and being promoted to an immortal beast in one fell swoop had already appeared in his mind.

In the past, the "black history" of failing to ask for a seal, his hoarse voice and unable to speak human language, and the loss of a chance to protect the forest greenstone by the witch was inadvertently taken away will also be resolved by his final success and will forever become the "past tense".

"Hmm...... There is a limit to reverie. ”

In the few short seconds he realized, the more he imagined the wonderful future, the more he grieved for what he had experienced in the past few days.

"It's better to throw away this kind of bad fate as soon as possible." He recognized reality.

As soon as the time (the next Red Star Day) arrived, he took a carriage back to Huangxian Ridge and never set foot in this land again!

He had secretly made up his mind, his eyes had not yet kept up with the next move of the witch and the mourning birds, when suddenly, Fang Nuo heard a rush of footsteps behind him.

He quickly turned around and let the visitor come into his eye.

A little human child?

A short human panted into his field of vision, as if he had climbed up from the bottom of the stairs, and had been busy panting for breath for a long time after standing still on the boulder platform.

Are you a villager of Mountain Village? When I went to visit before, I didn't seem to run into him.

At this time, two mourning birds also flew away from the witch and landed next to him.

"I know him." Xiao Hei inexplicably put on a proud posture.

"Then say it." Fang Nuo urged him with his eyes not to sell his son.

"That kid lives on the border of this human realm." The Bird Queen said what she had, "Not the house next to the nearest orchard, but near the stone wall at the end. ”

That is, near the path into the dark forest, Fang Nuo knew it, and gently bowed his head, motioning for the mourning birds to continue.

"His mother was a widow and lived with him." "I watched him be born, but I never met his father. ”

"Oh yes, you're not that old." Fang Nuo relied on the mourning bird to not understand his own words, and said thoughtfully, "It was your parents who witnessed the beast tide eleven years ago. ”

"But, looking at the human being...... "Ignoring the Bird Queen's fierce look on her face, "he's not very old, and he's a human cub?" ”

When he meets Noka, he clearly recognizes that the other party is a "young man" among the human race; When confronted by Mrs. Iris and the villagers who like to chew their tongues, he can also see their "aging" at a glance.

However, Fang Nuo's knowledge of human beings is not detailed, and he has never seen human "babies".

"By the way, a newborn baby should be regarded as an existence that has never had evil thoughts and is 'pure and flawless', right? That is to say......"

Newborn beings have emerald green souls, but with the first rays of consciousness, their souls deteriorate and lose their original pure color.

"He's a teenager......" Within a few days of getting along, Taro and Xiao Hei had evolved to the point where they could tell what faux pas he was thinking about rudeness or something unrelated to the status quo just by looking at Fang Nuo's expression.

It is also with this ability to "guess the heart" that they forcibly rely on her for so long without understanding the name given to them by the witch...... Thick-skinned and very "universal", who can not love it?

Humans are like thatβ€”even though it doesn't have much to do with "humans" themselves, Fang Nuo summed it up in his mind.

The young man ...... no longer thinking about all kinds of things that offended the people and monsters around him, and Fang Nuo turned his attention to the one who returned.

The strange boy in his eyes was a messy, dark blue hair, and the bangs on his forehead were a little too long, covering his eyes, making it impossible for him to see their color.

Isn't he uncomfortable...... Fang Nuo couldn't help but worry about that human, that kind of unmanaged hair was very obstructive, right?

Even if they are yellow immortals, they will change their hair every once in a while.

Wouldn't humans?

He suddenly realized that human hair was a little different from what he had imagined.
