Chapter 142: Master Wood Carver
"Just ahead, as long as you follow the road, you will come across a wooden hut where a carpenter lives, and you can rest there if you ask him for help. But please don't talk about me, just say that you passed by by accident. After that, come to me in the evening and teach me how to make pumpkin pie. Coming to a fork in the road, Zna said suddenly.
"We got it. Erica nodded in agreement.
"What are you for?" asked Kuromaki casually as he walked forward.
"Oh, Lord Kuromaki really doesn't understand the heart of a girl. Miss Erica understands very well. The squirrel shook his head, looking sad for the black roll.
Alika suddenly had the urge to burst into tears, a real girl doesn't understand a girl's heart, and she, an impostor who used to be a boy, is considered a real girl.
"Anyway, please get rid of it. Zna bowed and pleaded.
"And how are we going to find you? aren't you going to learn how to make pumpkin pie?" asked Erica.
"In the mountains and forests over there, there is a stove that I have set up. There are ingredients in various parts of the mountain, and you can make pumpkin pie perfectly. Zna said.
"So you're looking for ingredients. ”
"Then let's go first. ”
After walking for a while, Erica suddenly remembered and said, "Actually, I haven't made pumpkin pie before, and I haven't taught anyone, can I really teach it well?"
"It's okay. As long as it's sweet, it's not unpleasant. Kuromaki said indifferently.
"Maybe she's better than I do?" said Erica again.
"That can't be. The squirrel replied casually.
"For what?" Erika felt as if the squirrel was hiding something.
"Because she doesn't look like someone who can make good food. Squirrel Chippie said.
"Does Mr. Chippy know anything?" asked Erica.
The squirrel was stunned for a moment, and had to say, "It's always impossible for her to cook well, and she can't even teach it well." Miss Erica just taught her a lesson. ”
"For what?" said Erica, chasing after her.
"Oops, I can't help it. The girl didn't ask passers-by once or twice about how to make pumpkin pie. I thought it was just a legend. ”
"What legend?" even the black roll became interested.
"Legend has it that somewhere, there was a girl who kept asking passers-by how to make pumpkin pie, but no matter what, the pumpkin pie she made was extremely unpalatable. ”
"Is it so unpalatable? It's not very difficult to teach. ”
"It's just that it's okay if it's difficult, it's impossible to teach Lu well. There are also wizards who pass by looking for ingredients and meet her, but they have not been able to teach her how to make this dish, even the most ordinary pumpkin pie can't be cooked. This legend has been around for a long time, but it has not come to fruition. The girl is still making her own pumpkin pie. ”
"Then let this legend end. Kuromaki said with a smile.
"yes, I think it's almost time to finish. Chippi also said, looking ahead, and a wooden house had already appeared in front of him.
The group walked over and knocked on the door.
After a long time, someone opened the door coughing, and it was an uncle who looked very weak, and he looked very vicissitudes.
"Hello, we are passers-by, can I please bother with you for a while?"
The uncle looked at the two girls and said, "Look in your direction, it shouldn't be from the weeping grass, right?"
"Yes, that's where we came from. ”
"That's no wonder, I'm not frightened. When I was younger, I used to go there a lot, and it was a great feeling to make the whole mountain cry. Have you done it? Speaking of weeping grass, the uncle had a smile on his face and welcomed several people into the room.
As soon as they entered the room, several people were stunned, and the room was filled with large and small wood carvings. And these wood carvings are all in the shape of a young girl, but the clothes are different, but each one is very beautiful, not like a human costume.
"Wow, so many wood carvings, so beautiful. Erica sincerely admired that if she came to make these wood carvings, it would definitely be the demeanor of countless evil gods, and it would be enough to create a cult.
At the same time, she also noticed that these statues were very similar to Zna, in fact, Erica always felt that Zina's face had a vague memory, but looking at these statues felt that this should be the case. Because the temperament of these statues is exactly the same, although the faces on the statues seem to be slightly different.
But Erica didn't ask if these were Zna, because Zna's request was not to be said, so she just watched it once.
"Ahem, I can't help you do more because of my poor health, there is a room over there to rest, you can take a good rest. ”
"Okay, Uncle Xie, what's the uncle's name?" asked Erica.
"My name is Akiki Crewe. Just call me Uncle Crewe. ”
"Uncle Crewe, your handiwork is so good, can you do me a favor and help me fix this broom?"
Uncle Crewe's eyes lit up and said, "It's a flying broom, which is rare." When I was a soldier in my early years, I met a wizard who rode such a thing. If it was witchcraft and magic, I wouldn't fix it. ”
"Don't worry, it's just that some of the settings are broken and need to be adjusted, and I won't work if it's too delicate. ”
"Then I can help. Uncle Crewe was also glad that he could help, and said with a smile.
"Lord Kuromaki is really familiar, and people who meet for the first time can ask others to help. Squirrel Chippie said.
Uncle Crewe waved his hand, and said with a somewhat sad look on his face: "My health is getting worse and worse, and it would be nice to be able to help others." Now, it's hard to even make statues. The large ones can't be done at all. Uncle Crewe pointed to a small statue lying horizontally on the table and said, "This is probably the last statue I have ever made." ”
Kuromaki handed the broom to Uncle Crewe and started a conversation with him, while Erica walked into the room with Squirrel and Sora.
"Another legendary figure, a legendary master carver, these puppet statues are really like real people!" said the squirrel as he walked into the room, sighing.
"Does that uncle have a legend? Sure enough, those statues are exactly like Miss Zina. Erica said excitedly.
At this time, the black roll also walked in and said, "It's really powerful, I just said that there was a problem, and Uncle Crewe said that it would be solved soon." Then we'll be able to fly. Erica, let me fly you. Super fast and super pleasure. ”
"Kuromaki-sama, please say something normal. Squirrel said.
"Don't you think I can't think of it, isn't that Zna making pumpkin pie for Uncle Crewe, but it looks like the age gap between the two is a bit big. Forget it, there are people who like uncles. ”
"yes, it's weird. Both of them turned out to be legends. Is it because it's in the mountains, so it's getting more and more mysterious?" Erika guessed.
"However, it is time for the legend to come to an end. But the squirrel said.
"What do you mean?" asked Erica.
"Because, that Krewe's body is no longer good. If Zna still can't make a delicious pumpkin pie. Then it may be that you can't let your loved ones eat your own food. ”
"Erika-sama. Sora, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "Please help Miss Zina." ”
"yes, Krewe's body can't support the next person to teach Zina. Miss Erica, it's up to you how this legend will end at its worst. ”
Erica suddenly felt a weight rise on her body. She may be Zina's last hope, if she can't help Zina, then this ending, that kind of ending she doesn't want to see.
"It's okay, Erica must be able to. Black Roll said cheeringly.
The squirrel was not optimistic about Lu and sighed: "Is it legendary? This is really a legendary difficulty!"
