Candy Wizard and Travel

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In this castle thousands of meters high, the most vivid colors are flowers and plants. The vines climb all over the outer wall of the castle, and the tiny flower buds are waiting to bloom; the walkways in the courtyard are covered with moss due to the wind and sun. Some have sunk into the soil, and even the flowers in the flower pond are growing freely outside, swaying with the weeds.

Ten years later, this magically maintained building is on the verge of collapse. This short-lived castle can already be called an "old castle".

Out of caution, Xidi held Nino's hand, and the magic power spread there, and she could activate the shield at any time when necessary.

The child instinctively felt nervous, but after looking at Xi Di, she seemed to be relieved and looked towards the castle and flowers.

The magic power is gradually dissipating, a little faster than Xidi expected, and the magic power has just been extracted from the body, and the recovery ability has been reduced by a small amount, thus maintaining an extremely slow consumption rate.

To put it simply, when the blue bar is consumed, it will automatically recover when there is a vacancy. The extraction speed is just a little more than the recovery amount.

Xi Di felt that he could sleep here for a day.

Since he was here to study, the target was of course the core of the building. He could sense the direction of his own magic power, and he could also sense the majestic magic power that was beating deep in the castle.

……

Ruins, rubble, dangerous walls.

Xidi began to wonder if the magicians living here would be accidentally buried alive one day.

The only source of magic power is in front, a dark hole leading to the basement. If there is really a living person in this castle, it must be here.

Nino shrank in fear but said nothing.

Xidi raised her hand to light up the magic light and rubbed the girl's black hair.

"Stand behind me and be careful not to fall."

"Yes, sir."

After giving instructions, Xidi walked up the steps.

He did not deliberately conceal the sound of his footsteps, and the crisp "tap-tat" sound of his hard-soled leather boots echoed in the dimness.

Walking down, a bluish-white light lit up in front of me, as if a huge light bulb was lighting up in the basement. It was constant and bright. It was most likely some kind of magical creation, or the location of the "power furnace" that people mentioned.

There was a door, but it was not closed tightly. The light came out from there. The moment the door was opened, light and darkness alternated, leaving a trace on the retina. At this moment, it was impossible to see. Xi Di had already deployed her magic power to protect the eyes. Shield, but no one attacked.

go inside.

A medium-sized room, the most eye-catching thing is the blue sphere suspended in the center, the light emitted is a bit dazzling.

There are clutter piled in the corner.

There are pots and pans and other kitchen utensils, a stack of books, and a quilt next to it. A person is lying there, with a piece of clothing on his face to block the light. The hair exposed is green, and the quality of the hair is very bad, but judging from the length, this Probably a woman.

After checking the room, there were no other mechanisms. Xidi calmed down for the time being. In this place where outsiders could not use magic, it didn't matter whether the person facing him was a man, a woman, or even a human being. He at least had the confidence to protect himself.

Probably the footsteps just now disturbed the victim's sleep. There was a vague murmur from there, and then he sat up.

She is indeed a woman, about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her face is a little bad but her delicate lines can still be seen. Finally, she has a good figure.

Nino looked away shyly.

No need to get me wrong, she was still wearing the bare minimum.

The thin girl took off the clothes on her head. It was a black vest. She put it on, but the size was a bit inappropriate. Her flat and pale belly was exposed. Underneath were dark purple lace panties that did not match the girl's style. Her legs were also too thin. , blood vessels are obvious.

Standing up with some difficulty, holding on to the wall, the girl picked up the robe on the side and put it on casually, leaving her hair disheveled. She picked up the water glass next to her and rinsed her mouth.

"Goooooooooooo..."

She saw Hidi.

He glanced at it and continued to coo.

She grabbed a bottle of potion next to her, took a sip, rinsed her mouth, and spit it into the basin on the side.

It is commonly used among magicians to clean and maintain teeth. There are several boxes of such potions, next to them are scattered empty bottles. Some are filled with water, some are soaked with something that is probably bones, and the last bottle There was actually a small fish inside.

Grabbing a towel from another basin and wiping her face, the girl's new day started at ten o'clock.

"Ha, good morning, Bendy, Lucy, Akaret, Guroxi..."

She greeted the contents in the bottle one by one, and finally shook the bottle with the fish in her arms affectionately, "And my dearest Lester!"

The fish swam in terror.

After greeting, she glanced at Xi Di.

"It's a phantom I haven't seen before. Anyway, it will change soon. I'll call you Bai and Hei. Please give me some advice."

Without waiting for an answer, she took out a bowl of cold porridge from the pot on the other side. The color was yellow, and Xi Di could even see the rice husk.

There are some green and black vegetable leaves among the white clots. It can be seen that she is not good at cooking.

"This bowl will last me until today...the rice will have to wait for a month. There won't be enough left. If I eat vegetables, I'll feel sick again..."

The girl planned the food with difficulty.

Nino, who was not yet familiar with Western languages, tugged on the corner of Laxidi's clothes and said, "Sir, she looks... so strange."

"It's okay if it's strange, but it would be a big problem if it looked normal."

Xidi can completely understand.

There are almost no traces of life around, indicating that the girl has lived here alone for a long time. This period of time can be calculated in "years".

I can still wear clothes and speak normally, which is amazing.

Some of the things soaked in the bottles over there are bird bones, some are tree roots, and some are some kind of insect shells. They have been soaked for a long time.

At this altitude of several thousand meters, there are really not many living things.

After finishing breakfast or lunch, the girl regained some strength, picked up the book on the other side, and started reading aloud.

It's not a magic book, but some stories for children.

"Hmm! There should be no problem with my pronunciation? If one day in the future, an unlucky magician is lucky enough to fly over, we should still be able to communicate, right? No, no, no, it's better not to come. The things here are only enough for me. Life will be very hard if people come again. Although I will be very happy, I still forget it..."

She was chattering and talking very fast. Because she hadn't communicated for a long time, she only spoke to herself. Her words were vague and fast. After a while, communication might really become a problem.

"Well, Xiaobai, what do you think of eating carrots today?" She finally decided to talk to the phantom in her eyes. Although the response she got was predictable, at least it felt like communicating with someone.

When the phantom disappears, it will be lonelier again.

But today, she heard a different response.

"My name is not Xiaobai, my name is Xidi."

The phantom spoke words that did not exist in memory.

"I'm from the world below."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

A long series of harsh sounds came from her mouth, which may have been particularly hoarse and harsh because she had not spoken loudly for a long time.

"The Phantom has spoken!"

"They say I'm not a phantom anymore."

Xidi comforted Nino who hid behind her.

"I understand," the green-haired girl's expression darkened again, "The condition has become serious again. After you eat, go to the castle to find medicine. If you continue like this, if you see a phantom riding a broom in the sky and let me go, it will be over. ”

She said, patting Hidi's shoulder.

"It's pretty good, soft, warm, and seems to have a scent...I wonder if it can be cured..."

The fingers are also too thin, and the knuckles are particularly obvious.

"So I'm not a phantom." Xidi didn't dislike it and gently held the hand.

The green-haired girl had no intention of answering. She came closer, her sunset-colored eyes almost touching Xidi's face. As if she was anxious, she pulled out her hand to pinch Xidi's face.

"At least before disappearing..."

"Snapped--"

Hidi swatted it away.

He was also a little worried about how he, a stranger, would prove to a person who lived alone and was suspected of having a mental illness when they met for the first time that he was not just a figment of her imagination.

Give her a slap?

Forget it.

Xidi took out her wand and cast a cleaning spell first. I don't know how she usually takes a bath, but there is a lingering smell of algae on her body.

After her new look, she touched her hair in a daze, suddenly feeling relaxed.

"I've always wanted to take a good shower...have I reached the point where my dream has come true? It's a bit real." The girl held her chin, "Ah, the book said this is a hallucination caused by dying. How could I be dying soon?" What? I only eat porridge and vegetables these days, and my work and rest are very healthy..."

After thinking carefully, she came to no conclusion.

"Forget it, since I'm about to die, can I make a wish? I want to eat the sweet, smooth white thing I had when I was a kid, with red fruits on it. What's it called...strawberry cake?"

Xidi fell into deep thought. If she doesn't take in proper nutrients for a long time, might she become stupid?

"There is no cake, I only have bread here."

After rummaging through her bag, Xi Di took out the food she had prepared for the trip, as well as a jar of jam and a glass jar of milk.

"Wow! It's bread!"

She took the bread with both hands and rubbed it against her face with shining eyes.

She didn't see anything that could handle wheat grains along the way. She must have not seen flour for a long time, let alone bread.

Xi Di sighed, opened the jam and milk and handed them over.

"This is sweet and can be dipped. This is milk, do you remember? Eat slowly so you don't choke."

In fact, there was no need for Xi Di to remind her. She almost used her teeth to nibble bit by bit. After a long time, it was not as wide as a finger, but her expression was very happy:

"Is this the smell of roasted wheat flour? It's completely different from the wheat grains burned in the fire! It smells so fragrant and sweet..."

Nino almost understood the situation at this time and looked at him with the same pity.

She only cares about the bread in her hands.

While she was eating, which was expected to take the girl half an hour, Hidi tried to ask for news about the castle. Of course, the other party didn't pay attention at all.

In such an extreme environment, the girl has developed unparalleled concentration. As long as she thinks, she will not be disturbed by various sounds. Currently, the only thing she cannot avoid is what is in her mind, and those phantoms will always look familiar to her. The person's appearance made a familiar voice.

Late at night, early in the morning, when all thoughts are over.

Very annoying.

The two in front of me are very good. Although I don’t know when they met, they are really good. They bring the taste of food and don’t talk. It’s great.

If only they really existed, that would be great.

While eating, the girl began to cry.

……

The green-haired girl ate the bread in one go, as if she was worried that it would be out of date and then disappeared.

She actually drank half the bottle of Hexidi-flavored jam with milk, making her a strong candidate for second place in the competition for sweetness.

Finally, she tilted her head and waited for a few minutes to pour out the last drop of milk. Satisfied... she returned to the bed, her robe thrown aside and her vest pulled down over her face.

"Eat enough, sleep, or die..."

Almost as soon as she closed her eyes, she fell asleep again.

"Mr. Xidi?" Nino looked over in confusion, wanting to confirm whether her husband had any efficient communication with that person.

Xidi shook her head.

"The condition is a bit serious."

As soon as he fell asleep, he ignored it for the time being and turned his attention to the ball.

Let’s study this thing first.

……

The girl woke up from her deep sleep, and it was already dusk outside the window.
