263, the witch and the pig

The old woman gave the girl an apple to eat for no reason, and there was a high probability that the apple was poisonous.

Snow White tells us this lesson in a whole story, don't just eat food from strangers.

What if I have to eat?

Whoever gives it to you, feeds it to whom.

"That's how you ......"

The old lady struggled.

"Don't move."

Cha Bai rode on the old lady's body, probably because the people in this world are in good physical condition, and the old lady's pelvis is at least not broken.

The girl pinched the old man's mouth and shoved the apple into the old man's mouth.

What a friendly picture.

"That's how you treat ......"

"You said you ate the apple."

"You ......"

The old lady suddenly turned into a crow, flew away from under her white crotch, circled the roof, and then turned into a black cat, and jumped vigorously onto the bookshelf, and finally jumped onto the table, and changed back to the old man's appearance.

The old guy spat out the apple crumbs and yelled, "I didn't say I would eat it, I said you eat it!" ”

Cha Bai replied coldly: "But you just said that you ate it, and you didn't say that it must be me." ”

The old lady gritted her teeth, and her face instantly became as big as a hot air balloon, squeezing into the room: "You girl! Where did you learn the concept of stealing! ”

"GΓΌnter Odim." Cha Bai paused: "And my man." ”

"What kind of bad guy have you come into contact with......" the old lady picked up the apple core and said, "This thing is a magic apple, not a poisonous apple!" ”

"Purpose?"

"What are you here for? It's not always to accompany a lonely old man. The old lady snapped her fingers, and a rattan chair appeared under her buttocks, she sat down and said, "You can come in, it means that you have some magic power, but no, I need to know how much magic factor you have, this apple can be tested." ”

Cha Bai tilted his head: "What do you mean?" ”

The old lady said, "Those who can't control magic can't see this room, those who can't control magic can't enter this room, and those who can't control magic don't deserve to make a deal with me." ”

"That's right." Cha Bai snapped his fingers, and flames jumped out of his fingertips.

"Girl, this can't be done, it's too simple." The old lady smiled, and the old finger tapped at her, and said, "Unless you have a more surprising elemental spell, or a magic that surprises me on top of that." ”

Cha Bai took out the blood medicine from his backpack, and the ability to pick out objects out of thin air made the old lady stunned.

"Where's this?" Cha Bai put the blood medicine back into the backpack compartment, and in the eyes of the others, the blood medicine suddenly disappeared: "Space spell." ”

At this moment, the old lady's swollen head shrank, the flesh of her face twisted together, and her body began to change.

In a matter of seconds, she turned into a beautiful woman with a bumpy figure.

"Okay, you're qualified." The beautiful woman asked, "What is your name?" ”

"Yours first." Cha Bai said.

The beautiful woman said, "Just call me 'Cursed Witch.'" ”

Chabai: "Don't you say your real name?" ”

Cursed Witch: "It's your turn, little girl, what's your name?" ”

Cha Bai: "Tifa." ”

……

Two hundred years ago, with the advent of iron trains, people used a large number of underground steam engines to pump underground water sources, and a large area of the stratum was hollowed, so the magic minerals in the ground were discovered by the world.

One hundred and eighty-six years ago, someone made a wooden chest out of floating stone that could be lifted into the air.

One hundred and seventy-seven years ago, the first steam airship with floating stone as the core was introduced, and the way of warfare changed from ancient magic, swords and firecrackers to flying wings that pierced the sky.

With the advent of the steam airship, human beings without wings began to show off their might in the sky.

They set foot on a variety of previously unknown islands and hunted wild animals on a larger scale.

And one day, someone finally set foot on the empty island supported by large floating rocks in the sky.

A hundred years ago, the fucked-up and romantic profession of adventurer became a kind of "mainstream".

They armed themselves with steam guards, slaying dangerous beasts and exploring treacherous environments.

A new wave of expeditions began, and weapons and equipment in the world became more advanced.

"Three pounds for this gun."

The owner of the weapons shop leaned back in his chair with his chin raised, holding his book as a fan and fanning the wind.

Li Nuo picked up the magic pistol that could shoot white flowers, touched the coins in his pocket, and regretted giving all the money to Chabai just now.

"It's cheaper."

"You name a price."

"10pence."

"Deal."

"You profiteer!"

Li Nuo put the gun into his mask, took out the newspaper and continued to read.

In addition to some popular science sections...... It's a big thing that happened recently.

Last night, the news of the air thieves attacking the train also appeared in the newspapers and took up a third of the hot plates.

"Doros's gang of empty thieves are really behind it."

Leno muttered to himself, passing by a stall selling food, and bought a piece of bread for a penny and put it in his mouth.

He gave all the food to the tea, and he was so hungry.

I walked back while flipping through the newspaper.

Near a stall just now, Cha Bai stopped for a while.

He squeezed in, slashed half the price, and bought a bracelet that looked like it was about to break for 20 pence.

【Li Nuo...... You're not going to ......]

Chen Shou has been watching Li Nuo shopping, and he is annoyed to watch it.

"I've finally come to the world of 'Ghibli', why don't you take a look at it, in case there is an adventure?"

[I am the adventure. 】

"Thin brother, you're so shameless."

[You want to buy something for Sister Cha. 】

"Would you like to bring you some souvenirs?"

[Don't.] 】

Leno heard a commotion.

He looked past and saw an army passing by, and the army was waving banners, which was generally a signal of victory.

Leno turned to the corner.

Came to the point of the mark of "alchemy".

Fifty years ago, due to the advancement of science and technology, steam became the mainstream, and alchemy was gradually hidden in the tide of history.

"Skinny brother, are you sure it's here?"

[OK.] 】

In front of Li Nuo is the garbage dump of the mining town.

Demon hunters always have the most sensitive noses, they can smell more sensitive stenches, and when they are in a sea of garbage, it is as painful for them as swimming in a cesspool.

Li Nuo endured the discomfort, he would rather drink the unpalatable decoction than stay here for too long, but for the sake of the so-called alchemy, he still walked into the sea of garbage in the town.

There was a pig carrying a basket on his back and poking out of the "sea" not far away.

Li Nuo looked over and asked, "Uncle, is there anything related to alchemy in the garbage heap?" ”

The pig was surprised that Li Nuo could see that he was an old man.

Pig: "I'm actually about your age. ”

Li Nuo said: "But the pig smell on your body has obviously entered aging. ”

Pig: "I was sucked out of age by a witch." ”

Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders: "It's a pity. ”

This pig, no doubt, like Capone, is the kind of magician or soldier who is disobedient, turned into a pig by someone.

The pig looked back: "There are a lot of alchemy materials, turn them over yourself." ”

"Wait, you said you were sucked away by a witch, can you elaborate?" Li Nuo said.

【Li Nuo...... Do you still have time for small talk? 】

Li Nuo replied to Chen Shou silently: "One of the key elements when playing the game, when there is only one NPC in an open area, there is a high probability that there is something hidden in that NPC. ”

"Do you want to meet that witch?" The pig asked, then sneered and said, "I'm afraid you can't even find her house with your magic." ”

Is it the magical knowledge task point that Cha Bai has to face...... Li Nuo pondered, sat in the garbage heap, his cane stuck in the shredded paper and filth, the handle of the cane was on his chin, and said with a smile: "I heard that the witch has alchemy-related things in her hands, and I want to learn alchemy, but someone told me that this garbage dump hides the best alchemy materials, which one should I believe?" ”

A sense of urgency for monsters suddenly rose in my heart.

Li Nuo stared at this pig, this animal is not simple.

"Who told you that the best alchemy materials are hidden here?"

"Who knows, it could be a ...... Pigs who are unwilling to be in the company of the military. Li Nuo lowered his voice: "Would you like to talk to me, I won't delay you for too long." ”

"Don't get in the way, I still have work to do." The pig snorted coldly and continued to pick up the garbage.

Li Nuo raised his hand and released the [Seal of Axi] on the pig.

"Is there anything about alchemy in the sea of garbage?" He asked.

"There is ......," the pig's eyes clouded.

"Where?"

The pig shook its fat head, its cheeks slid like jelly, and then its eyes returned to clarity: "What kind of magic are you using on me?" ”

Li Nuo didn't use the dice, because the side effects were too great, and he didn't want to stack negative buffs anymore.

"I'm not here to play games, sir. If you're not going to say, I'll have to take a tough shot. ”

Chen Shou outside the screen is sweating for Li Nuo: "He is too bold...... I don't know where this pig came from. ”

screen,

The pig froze for a few seconds, then burst out laughing.

As he laughed, black bubbles erupted from his body, and an oil-like substance flowed into the garbage on the ground, rising an even stronger stench, and then evaporating in the air in the blink of an eye.

"You're certainly not a magician, what do you do?" The pig speculated: "Air thief? Pilot? Soldier? Or an adventurer? ”

Before Li Nuo spoke, the pig stretched out his hand to prevent him from speaking.

"I'll guess."

"You're not a bad guy who uses the war to make money, so you're not a non-commissioned officer, you don't have any signs of a good bounty hunter, so you're not a bounty hunter flying planes or airships, you have valuable weapons on you, you don't smell of disgusting sweat, you're not a debt-ridden air thief."

The pig touched his chin.

"Look at you dressed like a missionary bastard, but you don't have the attachment of faith and the pedantry of those priests."

Li Nuo said with a smile: "You have a great interest in the unknown, but you are not like a detective who will connect clues and reason, but speculate by feeling, you are an adventurer." ”

"Hey...... You ......"

"And you're a good guy, aren't you?"

"Where did that come from?"

"Only good people turn into pigs."

"Haha...... Hahaha! The pig smiled and said, "As you say, I am an adventurer, an adventurer who runs around in an airship." ”

"How can an adventurer become a pig in a garbage dump?" Li Nuo led him step by step.

The pig took out a cigarette with black juice from his bosom and lit it automatically in his mouth, which was not magical.

It's more like the whimsy of some kind of mind.

"I found an alchemical note, and the witch of the city wanted it, and if I didn't give it, I was killed by the witch, and she sucked my age and turned me into a pig, and put me in a garbage dump to be imprisoned." The pig paused for a moment and said, "Friend, if you don't want to be turned into a pig by a witch, don't ...... again"

Li Nuo took out the folding stool, unfolded it into a plastic chair and placed it on the garbage heap, and pointed to the chair.

"Storytellers need to be seated."

The pig was puzzled for a moment, then sat up, and Li Nuo tapped the leg of the chair with his cane.

The iron rod was extended, but the pig did not react, only black pus flowed from underneath.

Chen Shou, who watched this scene off-screen, had a chill down his spine.

The thin brother reminded Li Nuo that this pig may not be a living thing, similar to this kind of thing he has seen in the script, and things that are not subject to physical collision are often defined as "ghosts".

The cigarette in the pig's hand turned into a cigar.

Smoke, like steam in the distance.

"I, I used to be an air force, when planes were just put into the battlefield, I was the first batch of soldiers in the country, we were brave and good at fighting, bombing cities with gasoline bombs, massacring civilians, and being crowned heroes."

"What a tragic story, Mr. Pig." Li Nuo took out the empty bottle he had with him, and took a bottle of black pus flowing from the pig's body, intending to use it as alchemy material.

"Later in a war, my plane was sunk by enemy artillery fire and landed on an island that floated in the air, lush, and all kinds of creatures wandered in the woods, and I lived for a long time and then found ...... What the hell was I doing before. ”

"Beginning to repent?" Li Nuo tightened the cap of the bottle and looked over with a smile.

"Yes, repentance." "I found a strange alchemical blueprint on that island," said the pig, "......"

The more the pig speaks, the bigger it gets.

This world is very unreasonable, there is magic, there are curses rampant, people will become pigs, just unreasonable.

It's like the absurdity of the world of Cairo.

The world of magic is also absurd.

Thoughts form cursed things, memories expand curses, and release things that have been suppressed for a long time.

"Go on, sir." Li Nuo lowered the brim of his hat and pinched the cane with his five fingers.

The pig said, "I don't know what alchemy is, I always carry that thing with me, and then I retired from the army and became an adventurer, and I went everywhere to broaden my horizons and see the scenery of the world, which would have been very good, right?" ”

"Yes, sir, it's beautiful." In Li Nuo's eyes, the pig's body began to decompose, and a large number of black pustules covered the pig's body surface, forming a shell like human pus.

But the pig's voice was still calmly coming out of the shell.

"Until one day, the army found me again, and they needed me, a former ace pilot, to step into the battlefield again, and this time I refused."

"Then a magician, or rather a witch, turned me into a pig."

"That's a good thing."

Pig paused.

"At the very least, I have changed from a butcher who regarded killing as a great achievement, to a good person."

"One day the witch who turned me into a pig came to me, and she said that she could sense that I was hiding some kind of alchemical blueprint, and wanted me to hand it over, and then she could turn me back into a human."

"She's lying." Li Nuo said.

"It doesn't matter." "I'd rather not have my life than what I've ventured into a war weapon for a soldier or a magician," said the pig. ”

The pig laughed.

"I've long hidden the alchemy drawings in my head, and no one can take them away."

Speaking of which, the pig has turned into a terrifying black thick creature.

[Li Nuo, there is a reaction, that drawing is in the pig's body! ] 】

Li Nuo listened to Chen Shou's voice and just asked, "So, how long ago was that story?" ”

"Probably ......"

The pig's voice became smaller and smaller, and the black thick arm swept up the garbage and covered it on top of Li Nuo's head.

"It's been about a hundred years."

"Sir, can I know your name?"

"Don Quixote."

"Good name."

Don Quixote: "Leave, my memories are beginning to devour you, it's the witch's curse, she curses my soul to be a thing that devours garbage forever, once it becomes my memory......"

A huge amount of blue magic oozed from Li Nuo's skin.

The purple [Mark of Arden] set off a magical ripple, enveloping them.

"I've been a priest, and it's my job to give the undead a home."

A flash of silver-white cane.

Crystal magic attached to the purifying magic.

In the dazzling sunlight, the tip of the staff danced crystal magic and tore the sticky monster apart.

Li Nuo was still sitting in place, raising his hand to grasp the alchemy drawings floating out of the black thicket.

The pig is gone.

A calm sea of garbage, only the smell lifts the sense of smell, and the sun is still dazzling, as if nothing has happened.

The story of a blink of an eye made Chen Shou's eyes widen off-screen.

He was very nervous just now, the "undead" that the pig turned into was enough for a level 40 player to start a bitter battle, but the priest in the picture just waved his magic power and easily freed the undead as if he were reciting a eulogy.

The definition of a high-profile player is broad, and one is constant, and the trouble in the eyes of most players is, in their eyes, sparse and ordinary.

"Skinny brother, is this it?"

Li Nuo's voice woke Chen Shou up.

The thin brother looked at the alchemy drawing in Li Nuo's hand on the screen, and jumped out of a prompt that only 2P could see.

【Icarus' Wine Glass......】

At this moment, Li Nuo heard the voice of the system.

At the same time, the drawings in the hands turned into fragments of wine glasses.

[Under the reminder of 2P, you have triggered the hidden quest of the "Alchemist": Icarus's Sealed Wine Cup]

[Don Quixote still doesn't know that the island he came to at that time was Icarus, as for why no one has found him for many years, this is related to Icarus's last secret]

[Sealing the Wine Glass unlocks special abilities exclusive to the Alchemist]

[Hint: The reward of this mission is at risk]
