Candy Wizard and Travel

So he did it himself, with the help of magic, and it didn't take long.

As a result, Irena seemed very satisfied.

Xidi has never celebrated her birthday in the true sense, so she has no way of understanding a person's special emotions on her birthday. However, she just needs to try her best to meet her requirements.

What, it’s still very simple, he’s been doing this kind of thing all the time.

……

After breakfast, it was not particularly early. Irena sat behind her senior brother, and the two set off towards the unknown wilderness.

When nothing happens, the cute and charming traveler girl likes to wander around slowly on a broomstick. The speed is about the speed of a normal person's trot. If she hears something that interests her, the speed will be much faster.

It's her birthday today, so she can do whatever she wants.

The weather in midsummer was irritating. It was only early nine o'clock, and the incandescent light was already dazzling and scorching, so they plunged into the lush woods.

The tree shade that blocks out the sky and sun is like an umbrella cover. This natural parasol blocks most of the sunlight, which immediately calms down the newly agitated mood by [-]%.

It would be better if there were no tangled branches and vines.

Most of the areas outside the cities and towns on this mainland are covered by forests. Except for the special terrain of mountains and deserts, you can encounter intermittent forests within half an hour of walking outside the border of any country.

Plants produce magic power, and magic power in turn breeds plants. When the area of ​​a forest is large enough to produce a surplus based on the magic power cycle, the growth of vegetation can be ten times faster than normal. If you encounter plants alienated by magic power, the growth rate will increase even faster. This is not surprising. For example, the ginkgo tree where Fran's tree house is located cannot reach such a huge shape after decades of normal growth.

The overly rich magic here even gave birth to some plants that were not suitable for growing here. Birds and wind brought seeds from far away and made their home in this forest.

Xi Di's flight was not smooth. From time to time, he had to go up and down to avoid intertwined tree trunks, hanging vines, and small animals such as birds, snakes, and squirrels lazily basking in the sun.

Irena sat back and did not help, but exclaimed at the richness of the species she saw.

Sticking to the agreement with her mother and adhering to the safety principle, she would not go near such a lush forest when traveling alone, who knows what is hidden in it.

At the request of her junior sister, Xidi slowed down.

There's nothing else to do anyway.

As for the monsters that may exist, to him they are just pets that require some effort. The accumulation of magic power alone can no longer defeat him.

"I've been wanting to live like this in the forest for a while."

Irena spoke softly.

She sat sideways on the crutches, listening to Xi Di's words. Her beautiful legs were wrapped in black stockings and a pair of short boots, dangling in the air. Her upper body was completely leaning on her lover.

"Why do you think so?"

"Because I was rejected by many witches at that time, I thought, at worst, I will study magic alone. After all, it doesn't look very difficult. I can live alone in the forest, raise an owl, and wake up in the morning mist every day. Come, plant flowers, take care of potions, and after becoming a great witch, teach those guys who look down on others a lesson..."

There are some things that she can't tell even if she has a bad mouth, but there are some childish moments that she doesn't hesitate to share with her senior brothers.

Xidi rolled her eyes, and she could imagine that at that time, the arrogant girl was hiding in the quilt, almost crying with grievance, while imagining that she was ostracizing everyone.

It feels different from the junior sister in my impression, well, after all, everyone is growing up.

"...Then when I woke up in the morning and saw "Nicole's Adventures" in the bookcase, I persisted again. I wanted to become a traveler. As long as I thought about the outside world, I had the courage again, and this is how I met teacher."

Deep down in everyone's heart, they have fantasized about living in isolation, a world where there is only themselves, or themselves and a few close people, in forests, grasslands, lakes or mountains.

"It feels very much like Teacher Fran."

Leisurely avoiding two connected trees, Xidi recalled the past.

"Teacher Fran," Irena picked a leaf from the passing tree, "She likes butterflies, flowers and taking naps, but there is no way to imagine her living alone in the forest. She would be buried by the leaves. .”

"Uh……"

Xidi wanted to defend the teacher by saying that she was not a loser in life, she was just lazy.

Before he went to the kingdom, Fran-sensei lived in the city because she admitted that living in the forest was troublesome.

When there is no company, the sound of wind in the ginkgo tree always makes people feel lonely. The more you experience it, the more you will wonder what kind of person can endure the loneliness of being isolated from the world.

He didn't know clearly in the past, but at least now, neither he nor the teacher nor Irena could spend such years alone. Just thinking about it made him feel cold loneliness flowing in his veins.

Xidi's magic power fluctuated, and he shook his head to eliminate distracting thoughts.

"Look! Senior brother, does that vine look like a swing?"

The girl's attention was quickly attracted by a curved ivy. She patted her senior brother's shoulder, as if she wanted to stop and experience the natural swing.

"Irena, that is..."

Compared with those predators flying high in the sky, human dynamic vision cannot be called excellent. At such high speed, Miss Irena seemed to have made a mistake.

Xidi stopped slowly, held down the junior sister's hand and told her not to move.

The movement here disturbed the surroundings, and she saw the "green vine" trembling, changing in thickness, revealing its snow-white belly, and burrowing into the canopy of the tree beside it.

"Alas!"

The girl shivered and felt a chill.

Suddenly the forest is not that good. If you think about it carefully, you will find that there are not only deer, rabbits, big cats and the like, but also a wide variety of bugs and snakes that you have to appreciate.

This small episode interrupted the conversation between the two, and just in time, the scenery ahead also changed.

The trees changed from dense to combed, but still maintained a considerable density. The surrounding light became brighter, and the dark green that entered the eyes was diluted a little. In front, something seemed to separate the forest.

It's a pool of water.

The clear water from an unknown source swayed gently in the depression, surrounded by dense aquatic plants. It was unknown whether it was fish or something else, making a "plop" sound from the water.

Two big trees were on both sides of the puddle, each stretching out a particularly lush branch. They extended out and intertwined over the puddle, like a door, covered with vines. Two squirrels chased each other and ran through, disappearing into the forest in a flash. middle.

The further you go, the wider it becomes, until the moist lake breeze covers the surface, and when the sound of the rubbing treetops in your ears can no longer cover up the sound of water, the shimmering waves are also reflected in your eyes.

This is a small lake.

There are many large and small water bodies on this continent, including streams and lakes, but when they are suddenly encountered in the wild, they can't help but give travelers a different kind of surprise.

This body of water is not as unique as those famous lakes, but different places have different scenery.

It is "embedded" in the middle of the forest without being obtrusive. The lakeside is reflected in a dark green color by the leaves, but the calm and deep color in the center of the lake is not as good as the side.

Trees similar to metasequoias stand in the water, and wildly growing vines rely on them to form a wide "fishing net". Animals of all sizes are running around in it, the leaves are shaking, and the sunlight in the gaps is disturbed, reflecting in the The water waves on the leaves kept swaying, which was a bit dazzling.

The brown bear and several cubs appeared among the trees, holding a fish in their mouths and shaking off the water droplets on their bodies. The cubs followed suit and started shaking their fur before they climbed out of the water, sifting their own water onto their brothers and sisters. Wondering why my body didn't become lighter.

Black swans swim gracefully in the middle of the lake. When two swans meet, they will raise their long necks and comb each other's feathers with their beaks.

Several tall and majestic red deer stepped through the shallow water, rolling their tongues and licking the nearby water plants.

Sounds large and small filled the water, but it didn't make people feel noisy. There was only a particularly harmonious rhythm of life.

Irena rarely sees such a harmonious scene. As a traveler, she cares more about the scenery with people. In order to avoid danger, she rarely gets close to such wilderness scenery.

Maybe there are very few humans visiting here, except for some naturally timid little animals, bears, deer and birds. After confirming that they are not in the outsiders' diet, and that the outsiders are not in their own diet, they continue their actions.

The brown bear continues to teach the cub to fish, the black swan continues to swim, and the red deer drink water and eat grass.

"Wow, this is really..."

Irena subconsciously lowered her voice, fearing to disturb them.

"The last time I saw such a scene was when I was outing."

There are continuous mountains and forests near Roberta. Bears and deer can occasionally be seen by the streams in the mountains. As for the black swans, they are not a native species. They probably escaped from the passing caravans somewhere.

"Suddenly I felt like it would be nice to live here."

Irena took off her boots and lowered the height. Her toes wrapped in black socks gently skimmed the water. The cool feeling made her squint her eyes happily.

Xidi looked at the deer drinking water in silence. She wanted to say something, but she still didn't say it.

"The humidity is too high, you might get sick."

"...Senior brother, don't say such disappointing things."

He teased the otters passing by and touched the fur of a few bear cubs. It was a little rough and not as detailed as cats and dogs. Their mother looked on with a very sensible attitude. As a reward, Xi Di gave them a bunch of berries when she left. .

This surprising scenery made Irena's mood float for a moment. The scenery she saw on her birthday will definitely remain in her memory even if she will not come back here again in the future.

"What are you looking at, brother?"

"It's nothing."

Xi Di put away the magic mirror.

……

Influenced by "Nicole's Adventures", Miss Irena still prefers stories between people.

After walking through the forest for two or three hours, at the hottest time, they arrived in a lively country.

Compared with yesterday's branch and accommodation country, the brand-new streets and surging crowds here immediately made people feel like they were back in a civilized society.

Xidi, who decided to meet all the requirements of her junior sister today, followed behind, paying attention to only one person's smile in the crowded crowd.

"Huh-"

The iced coffee from the cafe was served, and Irena made a cheerful sound.

Putting down the ice water, Xidi looked at her junior sister with soft eyes, took out her handkerchief, and wiped her sweat-soaked forehead and bangs.

In fact, he didn't do much exercise. His junior sister refused to walk in this weather and was always dangling on crutches.

Although I didn’t do anything, I still worked hard on myself.

"Would you like to spend your birthday in this country today?"

Xi Di asked her opinion softly.

"Yeah," the girl nodded, "There's a cake shop, a nice-looking restaurant, and there's actually a movie theater!"

She couldn't ask for too much during the trip. She was prepared to celebrate her birthday in a remote place. Because her senior brother was there, even the shabby place became luxurious.

Who doesn't like excitement if it can be lively?

Hidi smiled gently in return.

"Then here it is."

……

After circling the country, it was almost dusk.

Before going to the reserved restaurant, Hidi prepared the cake by herself in the bakery.

With plenty of time, he patiently reproduced the water area in the afternoon. On a light green background, black and white chocolate, cream and fruits were used to piece together trees, brown bears, deer and black swans.

So delicate that it’s hard to think of it as food.

With the help of magic, I finally completed this birthday cake like a work of art when it was dark.

Irena took out the magic mirror and started recording the images without saying a word.

She wanted to show it to Teacher Fran. She was very sure that Teacher Fran’s birthday had already passed. At that time, they simply celebrated it in the castle. Until February next year, the teacher can only imagine with regret and envy. The taste of this cake is so pleasant to think about.

Miss Irena's evil taste was greatly satisfied.

Well, she didn't need to know about Fran eating birthday cakes a dozen times a year.

"Happy birthday to you, Irena."

"Wish me a happy birthday!"

The girl raised the cup filled with juice and clinked it with her senior brother.

After all the ordered dishes were served, Xi Di took out the candle and prepared to put it on the cake, but Irena stopped her and said that it was meaningless, indeed, so he prepared to cut the cake directly.

"Let me be mentally prepared."

“Cake is made to be eaten.”

"Wait until I take a deep breath... Huh-ha-ok, let's cut it."

Irena's favorite deer was divided and placed in front of her.Next came the little bear and the swan. Xidi didn't like fancy things very much, so she left these to her junior sister.

The girl couldn't bear to see such a scene, so she decided to solve it quickly.

"So sweet...but delicious..."

Similar to the broken window mentality, Irena quickly solved her birthday cake.

There is a high probability that the sumptuous meal will not be finished, so Miss Irena, who is thrifty and thrifty, will choose to pack it.
