Chapter 81: The Fountain of Magic
The scale of the witch town is not large, it seems to be only one or two hundred households, and all the women live in it.
Lin Yi was brought home by Farina, a two-story wooden house with a European classical style.
"Mother, I'm back!"
Farina pushed open the door, and before she had time to see the changes in her home, she ran straight up to the second floor and into her mother's bedroom.
"Oh! My Farina! ”
On the bed, an old woman saw Farina coming back and struggled to sit up, but her body was too weak to do so, and she coughed violently.
"Mother! How are you? ”
Falina ran over and threw herself into the old woman's arms, and the mother and daughter burst into tears.
Lin Yi climbed to the table on the side and looked around the bedroom, there were many portraits hanging on the walls, which seemed to be the portraits of the old woman when she was young.
"There's a reason why Falina is so cute and beautiful, she has good genes."
Looking at the beautiful woman who was somewhat similar to Falina in the portrait, Lin Yi thought to himself.
The mother-daughter reunion made the old woman on the hospital bed feel better, and she took her daughter's hand and asked her about her situation over the years.
Knowing that her daughter had been sealed in the library by Leomond, she touched her daughter's face distressedly: "Child, how have you come over all these years?" ”
When Falina told her mother that she was rescued by Lin Yi, the old woman cast a surprised look at Lin Yi: "Slime is so stupid, do you know how to help you?" ”
"Ahem!"
Lin Yi coughed lightly a few times to express his dissatisfaction.
Falina hurriedly shook her head: "No, master...... This slime is very full and powerful, and I was able to come back safely, thanks to it! ”
The old woman didn't believe it in her heart, but she didn't dig deeper, just thought that her daughter was afraid that she was worried, so she just said it casually.
Now, the excitement had faded, and the illness had made her weak and painful again, and she lay back in bed, in the company of her daughter, and gradually fell asleep.
"What's wrong with your mother?"
Lin Yi asked.
Falina pondered for a moment and said sadly, "She's not sick, she's ...... The magical spirit in the body is dying. ”
Lin Yi knew what this meant, the witch lost her magic spirit, which meant that her life had come to an end.
"Is there any way to save her?"
“…… There is a way, but it is hard. ”
Falina took a deep breath and said, "As long as you find the fountain of magic and give it to my mother to drink, the magic spirit in her body will be rejuvenated, and she will live for at least a hundred years." ”
"Master, may I ask you for something?" u
defi
ed
"Letting you go to the Fountain of Mana?"
"Well, I want to save my mother!"
Lin Yi shook his body: "If I don't agree, you have to go too, right?" ”
Farina's gaze was firm: "Yes, even if you kill me!" ”
"Then what are you asking me for? Let's go, take me with you. ”
Lin Yi jumped on top of her head and said, "I'll take it as a tourist." ”
Falina was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, host!" ”
"Where is the Fountain of Mana?"
"I don't know."
“……”
Falina leaves the house and goes to the house of the president of the Witch Society, asking him about the Fountain of Magic.
The Witch Guild was also happy to see that Falina had returned safely, but when she heard that she was going to the Fountain of Mana, she immediately objected.
"No! The Fountain of Mana is in the Orcs' territory, and they're going to kill you! And...... The Fountain of Mana has dried up, and you will go in vain! ”
Falina was not afraid of orcs, but the news that the Fountain of Mana had dried up made her face look desperate: "How can it dry up?" That's a fountain of magic! ”
The witch chief sighed and said, "More than a hundred years ago, I sneaked into the territory of the orcs and found the fountain of magic power, intending to collect some of them, but when I saw that the pool had dried up and there was not a drop of water, I immediately launched an investigation and found that the orcs had blocked the spring. ”
"After that, I tried to restore the spring, but I was attacked by the orcs, and in desperation, I had to return to the Witch Mountain."
Falina couldn't understand: "Why did the orcs do this? ”
"I don't know, but I guess they might be trying to make us witches disappear completely!"
The witch leader looked solemn and said, "Without the Fountain of Magical Power, there would be no birth of magical elves, and we witches would completely disappear from this world." ”
"How could the orcs know about this?" Falina was even more incomprehensible.
The orcs don't have a high IQ, they are humanoid monsters who drink blood, because their bodies are particularly strong, bloodthirsty and easy to kill, which makes other races very fearful.
The witch president said in a deep voice, "I guess they may have been instructed by someone, and the most likely one is the Church of God!" ”
"These bastards, who have always wanted to destroy us, have finally found their chance!"
Lin Yi was a little speechless, and talked to Falina in his heart: "Are you witches stupid?" The Fountain of Mana is so important to you, how can you let it fall into the hands of the orcs? I'm going to have to fight to get that place back! ”
Falina sighed in her heart: "Master, you don't understand the situation, we did send a lot of people to fight for the Fountain of Magic at that time, but the orcs all have black magic stones on their bodies, and our magic attacks have very limited damage to them, and we are not their opponents in terms of force, and in the end, we lost a lot of people, and we did not take the Fountain of Magic back." ”
"That's the case......" Lin Yi understood: "That's why you said it's difficult." ”
The witch president patted Falina on the shoulder and said in a serious voice: "Falina, I'm sorry about your mother's matter, but you must not go to the Fountain of Magic, it's too dangerous, neither your mother nor I want anything to happen to you, understand?" ”
Falina nodded silently, said goodbye to the witch president, and walked out of her house.
"Which way is the Fountain of Mana?"
Lin Yi was held in Farina's arms and asked.
He had just heard Farina's heart: "No matter what, I will save my mother!" ”
So, when he came out, he asked Falina directly.
Falina replied, "On the west side of Witch Mountain, near Dust Canyon. ”
"Let's go, let's go early and come back early."
"Hmm!"
Walking out of the gate, the two of them stood outside the witch's castle, and Falina suddenly noticed that the ring on her hand lit up by itself, and a red arrow also pointed in the same direction!
"Could it be that the treasure trove is over there, too?"
Falina looked surprised, and Lin Yi was happy: "That saves trouble, let's solve it together." ”
So, the two set off to the west of the Dust Canyon.
Here is worthy of the dust canyon, the sky is full of wind and sand, blowing so that people can't open their eyes.
Lin Yi was a little better, his eyes were inside his body, and Falina couldn't do it, so she could only cover her head with steps and sneak with difficulty.
She could use magic like wind and sand, but her magic couldn't last long, and she had to keep enough magic to deal with the orcs.
Seeing that Falina was walking hard, Lin Yi had no choice but to cast a spell for her, and in an instant, the wind around the two of them quieted down, making Falina breathe a long sigh of relief.
"Thank you, host!" Falina thanked Lin Yi sweetly.
After this period of contact, she has a little bit of a sense of the master's temper.
usually doesn't have a good face for her, but he cares for her at critical moments.
Is this the attitude of a master towards a slave?
The master he ...... You don't like me, do you?
Well! That's right, I'm so cute, he must love it!
"What's going on in your little head? Want to slap your mouth? ”
Lin Yi's voice sounded above her head, and Falina was so frightened that she hurriedly drove those dirty thoughts out of her mind.
After a while, she asked curiously, "Master, you should be able to use the [Transfiguration Technique], why don't you turn yourself into a human being?" ”
"I don't want to be human!"
Lin Yi's answer made Falina a little speechless, but she could understand it.
After all, the owner is a slime, and in his eyes, humans are monsters, just like humans look at slimes.
Let Falina turn herself into a slime, she doesn't want to.
Whining......
As they walked, the two faintly heard the sound of the horn, and Farina's face suddenly changed: "Master! It's an orc! ”
Lin Yi looked in the direction where the horn sound came from, and saw a team of men and horses flickering in the tyrannical wind and sand, it was an orc cavalry riding monsters!
The other party had already directed Farina and Lin Yi, and they blew the horn again, this time the sound was different from before, three long and two short, as if they were summoning their companions to come over.
Falina immediately put her mind on full alert, mobilized the magic power in her body, and prepared to face the battle.
In a short time, they were surrounded by a dozen orcs.
Lin Yi looked at those orcs curiously, with a beastly face, a hideous and ugly appearance, covered with thick fluff, wearing tattered leather armor, and holding a long knife in his hand, he was also looking at Lin Yi and Farina.
One of the orcs, dressed in iron armor, approached them and spoke, "Witch, what are you doing in our territory?" ”
"I'm here to find the Fountain of Magic!" Falina did not hide her purpose, and said, "Please let me go, and I will leave when I get the spring water!" ”
"Go back!"
The orc waved his hand and said, "There will be no more witch springs!" ”
"Nope! I'm not going back! ”
Farina and the orc looked at each other stubbornly, and did not back down: "Unless I get the spring water!" ”
"Then you will die!"
The orc didn't have the patience to talk nonsense with Farina, raised the machete in his hand, and slashed head-on!
Lin Yi looked at the strength of the orc's sword, and he could directly cut Falina in half!
Falina hurriedly dodged away and waved her hand at the orc: "Great Flame Demon, give me the Holy Fire to destroy the enemy!" ”
Rumble! A fireball the size of a human head flew directly towards the orc, hitting the target.
The fireball exploded in the orc's chest, knocking it off the monster and knocking it to the ground, but it quickly got to its feet, apparently unharmed.
Falina cast the [Wind Blade] again, but it still had no effect, just made the orc fall again.
The orc got up and roared, "Kill this witch!" ”
Farina's face was ugly: "Damn! My magic met the black magic stone necklace around its neck, and its power waned! ”
By this time, the rest of the orcs had already lunged at her, and their knives and spears were about to stab her in the body.
[Strengthen the Wind Blade]!
Brush Brush Brush!
After a dazzling burst of magical light effects, the orc cavalry that pounced on Falina was all chopped into pieces!
Thousands of broken corpses!
"It's not true!"
The pair of beast eyes of the orc from before were wide, they were all wearing obsidian necklaces, and the damage of magic to them was limited.
And with their strong bodies, even if they take some damage, they can recover quickly.
But what just happened?
Why did its companions become corpses?
Falina was also surprised, and she asked in her heart, "Master, the magic you just cast is the Wind Blade Technique, right?" Why is it so powerful? ”
She had used the same spell just now, but she had only cut through the fur of the orc, and the wound was so shallow that it would heal the next day.
"It's the Wind Blade."
Lin Yi replied, "However, my strength is stronger than yours, so the power I release is also greater than yours." ”
His attack power was as high as millions, and even if these orcs hung black magic stones all over their bodies, Lin Yi would still be able to split them into pieces.
"Alright, go ask the orc, who told them to block the fountain of magic?"
"Hmm!"
Falina walked towards the orc, and the other party tried to resist, but was frozen into a body by Lin Yi's [Enhanced Freezing Technique], and could only turn his head.
"Say! Who told you to do this? ”
Falina asked angrily, but the orc turned his head away and ignored her.
Don't look at the orcs as savage, but they are arrogant by nature and value the glory of the race very much.
So, easily will not give in.
Falina asked several times, but the orcs ignored her, and Falina drew her knife and began to torture the orcs.
She didn't have a good impression of these stinky orcs, so she didn't show mercy, only hearing the orcs screaming, but still didn't speak.
"This orc has a hard mouth."
Lin Yi said to Farina: "Don't waste time, directly control its mind and let it tell the truth." ”
Farina's face was ugly: "Master, I won't be able to control the magic of the spirit class." ”
"Little fool! Everything depends on the master! ”
Lin Yi pursed his lips in his heart, and cast a [Enhanced Mind Control Technique] on the orc, and the orc finally fell after some resistance and told the truth.
According to the orcs, a man dressed in a black robe who claimed to be from the Church of God came to their chief and told them how to deal with witches.
At that time, orcs and witches were fighting each other for territory.
The people from the Church of God brought this news, which made the orc chieftain overjoyed, and immediately did what he did, which really made the witch nervous.
At the same time, the people of the Church of God also gave the orc chieftain a large number of black magic stones, and told them that if they hung these stones on their bodies, the witch's magic would have no effect on them.
"Sure enough, it's the people of the Church of God!"
When Farina heard this, her expression was angry.
Lin Yi had a thought, and the orc's brain was shaken into a pulp, and he asked Farina, "What are your plans?" ”
The orcs already knew this method, so they asked Lina to open the spring, but after she left, the orcs would still block the spring, and it would be useless.
"The Fountain of Mana must be retrieved!"
Falina bit the corner of her lip and said, "The lifeblood of the Witch Society must be in our hands!" ”
"Well, ambitious."
Lin Yi complimented: "Let's go, little witch, let's go to the orc's lair." ”
