Chapter 9: Legendary Creatures
"Forget it, you can stare if you want, I won't suffer anyway. β
Although his mouth was hard, he still waited until the water was up to his waist before he began to undress.
Leon didn't know how to water, he knew a little, but as a northerner, he was limited to a few laps in the pool.
Therefore, the action of undressing in the water is very clumsy, and one accidentally stumbles his head directly into the water, and chokes on a mouthful of water.
"Ahemβ"
A silver bell-like laugh rang out, and the little witch sneered, "I heard you say that you are also the son of a secular lord, why are you so clumsy? β
Li Ang is not annoyed, he has worked hard in society and knows very well the words "the situation is stronger than people", even if the little witch is pointing at his nose and scolding him now, he will not care, let alone just a painless taunt, and it may not be malicious.
He washed himself very carefully, and after cleaning himself, he went to a place near the waterfall to fill up the water bag.
The lake is a freshwater lake with good water quality.
In the Middle Ages, people in some places considered water to be unclean and easy to get sick if they drank it directly, and it was true that they did not drink boiled water.
They use alcoholic beverages such as wine, ale, etc. instead of drinking water.
But in Sicily there is no such custom, and people drink water from clean wells or clear rivers, and of course, they do not drink hot water.
It's hard to wrap yourself around your body with wet clothes, but it's better than running naked.
He stood in the water, washed the coat of his coat, put it over his shoulder, and said to the little witch, "I'm all right." β
"Okay, now I can take you to the teacher. β
The girl smiled meaningfully.
Leon was about to say yes when he felt a hairbreak on his back, and when he looked down, he saw a large shadow rapidly expanding under him.
"it!"
Probably others only felt that this was a meaningless exclamation, and they did not realize the multi-layered meaning of the Chinese classic national scolding contained in it.
Boom β
A large, hideous head burst out of the water.
It has a pair of sharp horns on the top of its head, and its slender snake-like neck is full of sharp thorny protrusions, like a spiny dinosaur from the Jurassic era.
He tried to run towards the shore almost with both hands and feet, but was immediately lifted up by the head.
He hugged the horns on the top of the Spinosaurus's head, fearing that he would throw it off and swallow it like a fish.
"Save ...... Help!"
It's embarrassing, but it's true.
Li Ang, who had just hunted a dwarf demon, did not have otherworldly strength, and at this moment, in the face of this legendary giant beast, in addition to calling for help, it is estimated that the only thing left is to grab the ground with his head, hoping to commit suicide quickly.
But she didn't expect the little witch to be unfazed and just stretched out her hand and said, "Don't worry, Wen Qi is a juvenile Sicilian spinysaurus with a very docile temper and won't hurt people easily." β
I saw the spiny dragon stretch out its slightly hideous head and rub it against the little witch's palm.
Well, it turned out to be docile.
Leon calmed down a little, replaced by a strong sense of novelty.
He whispered, "Is it your pet?"
"No, it's a good friend of mine, and a part-time ferryman, taking us in and out of the witches' realm. β
She jumped to her feet with ease and stood with Leon on the neck of the Spinosaurus.
The little witch said to herself: "Isn't it surprising that there are still many fantastic creatures in this world, but they are far away from people. β
"I was really surprised. β
Leon's heart was still drumming, and he was scared a lot.
There was a sudden shake under his feet, and Wen Qi, the spine dragon, began to swim towards the center of the lake.
Seeing his pale face, the little witch reassured again: "Don't be too afraid, Wen Qi thinks you're not bad, so there's a high probability that you don't have any bad intentions, as long as you don't have bad intentions, the worst result will be that the teacher will clear the memory of this time and send it out." β
Leon nodded, and silently wrote it down in his heart: So the witch is the orderly and good camp?
The little witch asked, "But how did you know the name of the teacher, she hasn't left this forest for a long time?" β
"From my father. β
"Your father...... Is that the Baron Tbelley you mentioned earlier?"
She was slightly stunned and wondered, "How can a secular lord know the teacher's name?"
Leon shook his head, "My father didn't explain this to me, only that Lady Angelina could help us escape the plague. β
"Wait, you told me what your name was?"
"My name is Leon. β
"Which Leon?" spell it out in a Greek word. β
Li Ang spelled it out as he said.
She asked again, "How old are you?"
"23 years old. β
The little witch's expression gradually became complicated: "I see why you were able to bypass the protective spell, Leon, if I said that you belong to this forest, would you believe it?"
Leon wasn't surprised, to be honest, it would be surprising if the old baron and the Witches' Forest didn't have anything to gossip about.
So he continued to nod.
The little witch praised him for his composure, and then said, "It is possible that I am your sister, my name is Lagaia, and I have no last name...... Of course, it may also have the same surname as you. β
Li Ang was stunned, and said in his heart, what kind of god is this?
"When I was very young, my teacher told me that I had a younger brother who was taken away by my hateful mortal father. β
"To be honest, I always suspected that the teacher was my mother, but she never admitted it, and I used to think that it was impossible, after all, how could someone as noble as a teacher marry a mortal. β
"But when I look closely at your looks, I see that you do bear some resemblance to your teacher, so our mother may be the target you are looking for, the most powerful witch in the world today - Lady Angelina. β
Li Ang was stunned by her reasoning, and said for a long time: "This is just your guess...... But I didn't really see my mother, who told the servants in the castle that she died a long time ago. β
His instincts told him that what the little witch named Lagaia said was most likely true.
But what is this God unfolding?
The son of the most powerful witch in the world was suffering from the Black Death, but Baron Tebely did not think to ask the witch for help?
That makes sense!
So why did he let himself come to the Witches' Forest for help?
Is it just to let yourself recognize your relatives?
He felt a headache.
The two of them talked as they walked towards the center of the lake, called the spiny dragon, and gradually a thick fog rose, followed by a flash of his eyes, and when he fixed his gaze, everything was turned upside down.
It's a fantasy wonderland.
Elves with a pair of dragonfly-like wings flew among the flowers, they really had a shrunken body like a human, their hair was the same color as the flowers, and occasionally they would carry a small flower basket and fly past the two of them, leaving a wisp of the fragrance of flowers.
"They're flower elves, a bunch of cute elves with a lot of energy, and if you come in without a shower, they're going to hate you. β
Lagaia waved goodbye to the spiny dragon as she introduced, "Goodbye Wenqi." β
The spiny dragon's purposed vertical pupils narrowed slightly, looking like a gentle boy-next-door, and it nodded, then dived into the water, leaving only a row of spikes and drifting away.
"Keep walking, we're almost there. β
As they walked along a small stream, Leon felt like Grandma Liu who had entered the Grand View Garden, and everything here was so new and shocking to him.
A high-pitched neighing sounded in his ears, and Leon followed the sound to see that in the bushes on the opposite bank, white horses with swan wings and spiral horns were looking for berries in the bushes.
Lagaia smiled, "I don't need to introduce this, the legend of the unicorn is still very popular in the mortal world. β
Leon nodded, this supposedly noble and beautiful creature is still known in the 21st century.
"They're good-tempered, too, but they're actually very powerful magical creatures, so you'll have to be polite enough to meet them in the future. β
Ever since she knew he might be her brother, Lagaia had been much softer towards him, constantly reminding him of what he needed to look out for.
After walking for about half an hour, Lagaia suddenly grabbed his hand and whispered, "Don't make a noise, I'll show you a big guy." β
A hint of foreboding suddenly rose in Li Ang's heart.
I saw her pull Li Ang forward quickly, and then came to a gray stone mountain: "Let's go, let's climb up." β
Li Ang couldn't help but say, "Can I refuse?"
"No, come with me!"
When the two of them reached the top of the mountain, Lagaia waved her hand, a faint light flickered, and a purple staff appeared out of thin air, and she shouted, "Awakening Spell!"
Then the earth shook.
Leon felt his height suddenly rise and began to look down at the towering trees, when an angry voice sounded, "Lagaia, you disturb my rest again." β
Lagaia whispered quickly: "This is Lord Andrew, a mountain giant, his temper is actually very good, but he is a little angry when he gets up. β
Then he opened his voice and said, "Your Excellency Andrew, you have been sleeping for half a month. β
Andrew said angrily: "You should know that for us giants, half a month can only be regarded as a small rest. β
Lagaia said loudly: "It's enough to take a nap, why sleep for a long time before you die, and sleep forever after you die, Your Excellency Andrew will trouble you to send us to the treehouse." β
Andrew let out a long sigh, his voice thundering.
"Just know that it's troublesome for me to be an old man. β
"There's a forbidden space circle set up by Lady Angelina on the other side of the treehouse, and I can only send you to the Boundary Mountain. β
Then the two of them shifted and appeared in a forest.
"Without Lord Andrew's help, we'd have walked a long way to get to the treehouse. β
Li Ang said, "Didn't you just say that it was almost there?"
Lagaia said, "It's 'almost there' with the help of His Excellency Andrew, and I need his help every time I travel back and forth between the outer forest and the witch's secret realm." β
Leon couldn't help but ask, "How often do you usually go out?"
Lagaia smiled, "Maybe, but I go out more frequently during this time, about once or twice a month." β
Leon nodded, a little distressed by the elderly mountain giant Andrew.
"There are many beautiful creatures in the forest, but they have never set foot in the outside world, so they are unknown, and only their scaly claws can be seen in the biographies of explorers. β
Li Ang said sincerely: "It is indeed shocking and beautiful, and it is a blessing to be able to live here." β
Lagaia said: "If you like it, stay here, the teacher will agree, the Black Death is very terrible, even the Patronus Charm can't dispel it." β
Li Ang said: "I am already a cured person, and the probability of getting sick again is already very small." β
Lagaia frowned and said, "Suffering from the Black Death must be a very painful experience, right?"
