Candy Wizard and Travel

Although I don’t know why I have such preference.

……

When he was tired from spinning, Hidi lay on the bread and fell asleep. When he woke up, the gentle voice in his head told him that it was time to leave.

What is "leaving", riding a broom and moving forward?

Is there bread stacked up in front that can be used as a bed and a cage for sleeping?

No one told him.

Anyway, off we go.

In this way, a child riding a broom crookedly, carrying a bag full of bread that was taller than him, and a bag of gold coins hanging in front of the broom, slowly flew away from the country.

The wall is very high, but it took a little effort to get over it.

He still remembered that the last time he looked back, the sun was shining brightly, and the clouds on the city were shaped like bread. The whole city was quiet, with no smoke, no birds, no insects. Such silence was very rare.

"Everyone really likes to sleep."

This is the judgment of a child who has been in a cage for three years.

He never looked back.

……

Until now, every time the green trees grow leaves and the weather is neither hot nor cold, he will pick a day at random, do nothing, and use magic to turn his bed into bread and sleep for a day.

Chapter 7: The moment of waking up from the dream

He never liked lakes or rivers much.

In my sleep, the feeling of cold water flowing into my nose and the smell of aquatic plants, fish and shrimp reappeared, as if they were deeply rooted in my soul.

"It's so painful..."

As if falling into water again, the dream is broken and chaotic, and countless memories flow like water, forming various weird scenes that are scary.

But in the end, the turbid water in front of me suddenly became as clear as the sky. Looking up, I saw two pairs of blue eyes, one cunning and the other peaceful.

He felt more at ease than he had ever felt before.

……

When he opened his eyes, the thin quilt on his body was soaked with sweat. The wind outside the window blew in and was extremely heavy. His whole body was stiff.

His consciousness was groggy, and he still had the feeling of a residual dream.

Strictly speaking, it is one of the symptoms of anemia.

Xidi covered her mouth, and there was still a hallucinatory smell of water in her mouth and nose. After a cleaning magic, Xidi skillfully took out the candy box, grabbed a handful and stuffed it into her mouth, soft candies and hard candies in various flavors. , the mixed flavor quickly dilutes the fishy smell.

If ordinary people eat this way, they will not develop diabetes within a year.

Even though her whole body was cold, Xidi still didn't want to take a hot bath. After using magic to clean her body, she changed the sheets and quilt.

Usually after having a nightmare, he would practice magic or read a book to relax, but he had just obtained the apprenticeship qualification yesterday, so he felt that it was allowed to relax for a few days.

The thin child just wrapped himself in the quilt and continued to chew the candy until he felt relieved.

He looked up and out the window.

There was a patter of rain outside, and the sky was not completely bright yet. It was about six o'clock in the morning.

His eyes glanced at the incense in the corner. He forgot to close the windows last night, and the wind blew away the smell of incense. No wonder he had nightmares.

Physical wounds always have a chance to recover, but mental wounds are never that convenient. Xidi tried her best, but she could only do this.

Maybe it will take a few years or more than ten years for him to grow up and have new relationships and life before he can get rid of the nightmare of childhood.

Speaking of the future——

Hidi raised her wand and waved her hand to take a book from the bookshelf. The title of the book was "Fran's Adventures", which was sent back by the witches who had asked the traveling witches to inquire about the information.

He rarely reads books like this because he has rarely been affected by strong emotions since he was a child and cannot empathize with stories about people crying and feeling sorry for them. He needs someone else to explain to him to understand where the tears are.The same is true for joyful things. All the stories seem dull. It is better to read historical materials and magic books.

But if it was the witch, Xidi would try her best to understand and feel it.

The magic wand lights up the light, and the young hands open the neatly bound storybook.

The king of that country was very fond of the story of the traveler Fran. He claimed that he had loved the traveler's adventures when he was a boy, so he spent money to buy a traveler's backpack that was popular at the time from a businessman. The older the better, it looked like it had the flavor of time.Unexpectedly, I found a traveler's manuscript in my bag, which contains all the experiences and insights of a witch named Fran during her journey. It can be said to be such a precious thing as a microcosm of past life.

The king read it all night and was so moved that he paid for it with his own money: "Anyway, let's print [-] copies first."

The nobles who pursued the kings got the book first, and read it with the mentality of buying three copies of toilet paper and blowing it up. It was surprisingly good, and it worked well. Within a month, even ordinary people had read this book.

Various factors such as simple language, exotic customs and king's recommendation have made this book unprecedentedly popular. In this era when ordinary people will never be too far away from home in their lifetime, stories about distant places and travel are always fascinating.

After [-] copies were sold, they were reprinted, reprinted, and reprinted. Up to now, the copy in Xidi's hands was already in its ninth edition. According to a rough calculation, more than [-] copies had been circulated, not counting the pirated printing and printing in some places. Codex.

According to the news from the traveling witch, there is also a bronze statue of the witch Fran in the local area, and the streets are full of Fran’s main costumes, figures, and posters...

There are so many people who love Fran's story, which makes Xi Di very happy.

So, with anticipation and longing in mind, Xidi officially turned to the first page——

……

It felt like I was just stunned, nearly an hour had passed, and the book in my hand had turned to the last page.

He rolled on the bed blankly, holding the book and looking at the ceiling, feeling a sense of sadness that he had never experienced before lingering in his chest.

Frankly speaking, because the writing style is simple, the story is a bit didactic, and he knows almost everything about his travels, there is not much in this book that is interesting to him.

But the joy of watching the past of the person you admire is really addictive.

"I've finished reading it..."

Xidi rolled again.

The title page of the book is a message written by the king himself, saying that the original manuscript only has one hundred pages, and all the contents have been published because the story is so exciting. If anyone knows the witch, please come to the palace to discuss it in detail, or if anyone gets the follow-up manuscript, You can contact him.

That amount of remuneration is enough for ordinary people to live for a lifetime, but it is still too difficult to find someone in the world.

The anecdotes accompanying the letter also mentioned that for a certain period of time, the palace was crowded, and then dozens of people were thrown out of the country, and the liar disappeared.

I really want to know what the subsequent story is, and I really want to know more about that person...

An unprecedented desire for knowledge lingered in Xi Di's heart, and deep emotions that were different from nightmares surfaced. He unconsciously grabbed the candy and chewed it, waking up with the thick taste of the mixture.

"Right away, right away..."

Carefully putting away the copy of "The Adventures of Fran" and putting it back in the bookcase, Xidi stood in front of the bookshelf and decided to collect one copy of each edition...no, three copies, for preaching, viewing, and collection.

It would be better to go to that country first and get the original manuscript.

Thinking about it, Xidi couldn't wait to take out the map and mark the destination location.

……

Life is not only about idols from far away, but also breakfast.

The butter-fried toast is spread with greasy jam and cheese, and the milk is a bit sticky because of the added sugar. It is a breakfast that suits Xidi's taste.

Mal's portion was placed opposite. The toast was without jam, covered with bacon and fried eggs, and the milk was of normal consistency.

Before Xidi finished eating, familiar footsteps came from the stairs, which surprised him a little.

"Master, you are very early today."

"Because you're leaving soon, it's good to be together for a while longer." Mal's eyes under the thick bangs were filled with morning confusion, and seemed to become much more straightforward in this state.

Xi Di pursed her lips and said, "I feel a little shy."

"Then you have a shy expression? I will definitely write the photo and keep it for half my life." Mal sat down and cut the toast with a knife in one hand. His eyes were covered by his brown and gray hair, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

"It sounds a little perverted, don't."

"Tsk."

Although they are said to be masters and apprentices, they don't seem to have much restraint when getting along with each other. After all, most patients are very easy-going before they get sick.

"I have a feeling you're thinking of something rude."

"I'm wondering when your mental illness will be cured." Xidi said bluntly.

"Just a normal hobby."

"No, I think it would be difficult to find someone more fanatical than you."

……

Chapter 8:Wand and Broom

"jingle--"

While they were chatting, the doorbell rang.

After Xidi drank the milk, she shook the sugar at the bottom of the cup, raised her head and poured it out, then stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."

"Are there any guests in this weather?"

"The items I ordered should have arrived."

A moment later, Xidi came up with a tightly sealed package. It was a suitcase the size of a cello. The seal was affixed with a piece of paper painted with strange runes. Its protective capabilities were not worth mentioning. It was a means of confirming that the package had not been opened.

"what is it?"

The master came over with a cup. For some reason, many people liked to watch acquaintances unpacking the boxes.

"Wand and broom."

"Ah, I just thought of this last night and planned to make it as a gift for you," Mal looked troubled, "Is there anything else you need?"

These two items are necessities for magicians and are easy to carry. When the magician is bare-handed, the only magic that can be released is to summon/hide the wand and broom.

Because of their importance, various tactics against magicians often start from these two points, so it is a habit of many magicians to always have more than two wands.

However, there are not many spare brooms to carry, maybe because it is relatively troublesome, after all, the number of brooms that can be carried is limited.

As a gift for qualifying as an apprentice witch, these two are very suitable, but it is a pity that Xidi made the reservation early.

"What you need..."

Xi Di thought for a moment and looked into Mal's purple eyes.

"Can you make me a robe? I don't really like the pattern on this one, and the pockets can hold too few candies. I've always wanted to sew more pockets into the robe."

In fact, he can change it himself.

Hidi doesn't know what surprise is, she is a pragmatist, and coincidentally, so is Mal. They are both the type to ask each other's opinions before giving gifts.

Well, it can be seen from this that neither of them have many friends.

"A robe? And a hat."

"it is good."

Then, Mal's voice lowered a few degrees, and was muffled with the sound of chewing:

"when are we leaving?"

Xi Di was silent for a while.

"next week."

"Will it be too long?"

She hoped that Xidi's problem could be solved soon.

"I can't bear to leave you. Please let me stay for a few more days... and there will be time to get familiar with the wand and broom."

"This is the only time you act like a child." Mal sighed softly, "Just stay here. I can't drive you away. Okay, let me see your new guy."

"Ok!"

Xidi removed the seal, unlocked the hidden buckle and opened the box.

The first is a letter, to the general effect of which is to thank Xidi for her support in ordering the product, welcome her next purchase, and some precautions. It is like a manual for a TV remote control, and no one who has used it will take a second look.

There are long and short objects in the suitcase.

The wand was about a foot long and completely black.There is a slight undulating feeling when you touch it. If you look carefully, you can see the carved magic words. They are full of texture. According to Xi Di's request, the whole body is slender and looks like thin black bamboo.There is a purple gem as big as a fingernail inlaid at the end. It has no meaning, just for looks.
