Candy Wizard and Travel

Xidi suddenly stopped the broom and looked at the rising smoke column not far away. There were seven or eight wisps, which could rule out the possibility of a forest fire.

His spirits immediately improved and he floated over on the broom.

……

At first glance, it looked like a very ordinary village in the forest, until the person standing at the entrance of the village told him its name:

"Welcome, welcome! This is Beauty Village, are you a traveling magician?"

The greeter showed a confused expression when he saw Hidi's appearance, but returned to normal when he saw the cane following behind.

In other words, only magicians came here in this way. Thanks to those weird seniors, Xidi’s young appearance did not make people think it was strange. In the subsequent chat, he also learned that there was a pacifier in his mouth. A magician passed by, claiming to be looking for the feeling of childhood.

But at this moment, Xidi just wanted to complain about the name of the village.

"Beauty Village?"

"correct."

The guide was also a pretty girl, and she was a little shy when talking about this.

"Because people who have been here say that we are all beauties, over time we have come to refer to it as Beauty Village."

"It was so it was so."

Hidi glanced around at the villagers who were curiously looking at them, and found that there were indeed only girls. Although they were not as good as Fran in all aspects, there were also a few who were as beautiful as Mal with dark circles.

At this time, a strange feeling spread from the bottom of my heart. It was very subtle, like catching a glimpse of a poisonous insect crawling by while chatting with someone. The distracted attention was not enough to analyze the information and turned a blind eye, but it just felt like something was wrong.

"The village has just held a thanksgiving festival. The village chief went out to find sheep. The new village chief should have finished his work. I will take you to find her."

Looking for sheep?It probably means introducing breeding sheep. He doesn't know much about this aspect.

Ruoyouruowu's strange feeling made Xidi a little concerned. It was still early in the morning, so he decided to ask about the distance of nearby settlements to judge whether he should settle down. "This won't be troublesome. I just want to ask if there are other villages nearby."

The guide girl still looked enthusiastic, "Then we have to find her even more. We have been living in the village and don't know the surroundings."

Isolated?

"That means only the village chief is out?"

"No one wants to go out. After the thank-you ceremony, we have to ask the village chief to go out and look for sheep. Otherwise, there will be no new sheep for the thank-you ceremony half a year later. It's really hard, but I think it's good to be in the village."

While she was talking, she took Xidi to a slightly more luxurious house. As if she suddenly remembered that she was actually a guard and not a guide, she stuck out her tongue and trotted back.

A naive and reckless girl.

Contrary to what Xidi expected, this was an extremely young woman. It was hard to imagine how someone at such an age could have experience in guiding the lives of villagers.

"Welcome, we haven't seen a magician in our village for a long time. Last time he was the village chief...ah, now I am the village chief."

Both speech and behavior are very young.

Her left hand was wrapped with cloth. When she saw Xi Di's concerned look, she smiled sheepishly, "I came across this when I was killing a sheep a few days ago. It is obvious that a lamb can be strangled with just hands. With the strength of an adult, But it’s so big and made too fat. Next time I’ll find some herbal anesthesia... Why does it smell like lamb?”

She sniffed, her eyes swept over Xidi's beautiful face, and laughed again: "Maybe it's because of the smell."

The smell of mutton is really difficult to deal with.

"Don't the men in the village help?"

Xidi guessed that there might be a factor of female dominance. In some places, isn't it the custom for the head of the family to share meals?Probably the killing of sheep is a similar ritual.

"Well, of course there are only young and beautiful beauties in Beauty Village." She stretched out her other hand affectionately and pinched Xidi's face. "My little sister is also very beautiful. Do you want to stay?"

"I'm 23 this year."

He is a liar with a straight face.

"Ah, that's the little sister, I'm sorry."

The village chief smiled and touched Xidi's chin and collarbone again.

The palm is very soft, it is indeed a pampered hand, with the smell of some kind of plant.

"Is it possible that there are girls here who have the skills to give birth to children?" Xidi patted the harassing hand, curious.

"No," the village chief replied with a smile, "So our village will find a man to come in every six months to help with reproduction. Frankly speaking, some of the techniques are very good, huh, very comfortable, but it's a pity that there are so many sisters that they can't take their turn. , after a while you won’t feel it anymore if you touch it again. Speaking of which, little sister, have you ever experienced it?”

She spoke in a pornographic accent, and she didn't expect to be a carnivorous woman. Xidi couldn't handle it and backed away, "I'm sorry, I have a girl I like!"

"Ahem, excuse me." She calmly distanced herself from him.

After chatting for a while, the awkward atmosphere passed.

Xidi asked about the distance to nearby settlements, and got the information that the nearest one would take two days to walk on foot—that is, half a day's journey with a broomstick.

But he left anyway, citing the reason that the woman he cared about was waiting in the distance.

The village chief walked to the door and waved with the guide lady just now, blessing him for his bold and forbidden love.

Xidi waved in response, thinking that a village full of beauties would indeed be very attractive to men.

……

Chapter 33:Our Village

The semi-annual thanksgiving ceremony, the men brought back every six months, the village chief who goes out to look for sheep, the village without men, the hands without the smell of sheep, the village without the smell of sheep...

Under the blue sky and white sun, a biting chill climbed up my spine.

The traveler flew high in the sky, and the birds in the forest flew up and down in groups, without looking back all the way.

Xidi unfolded the wind-proofing magic, took out the map, circled the area, and drew an X.

Regardless of whether it is what he thinks, these things are not his responsibility, and he cannot control them now.

In such a deep forest, the disappearance of two men a year is as inconspicuous as rain falling into a river.

He didn't know if this was a village or a nearby custom. In short, he must observe the next settlement.

……

The forest has always been a restricted area for weak magicians. They will be happy if they live there for a short time, but if they live there for a long time... say goodbye.

Magic power is produced by plants absorbing sunlight nutrients and then spitting them out. The concentration of magic power in the forest can be imagined, but this is not a good thing for ordinary people, because they cannot absorb it, and the excess will be dispersed and affect various things.

It is a trivial matter for the pots and pans in the house to dance. Big trees rise from the ground and run away. The worst thing is that terrifying monsters and other abnormal creatures are born.

In the records alone, there are yellow flowers that bring bad luck, trees with consciousness that attack humans, magical creatures with the ability to confuse humans...

Monsters are the most troublesome. A certain witch's notebook mentioned that she saw a tiger surrounded by many serving humans. Everyone was proud to be eaten. When the people were about to finish eating, someone would leave to coax new people to come over. .

——By the way, the witch’s name is the Tiger Witch, and the tiger fur coat she left behind is still being offered somewhere.

If you think about it this way, there is a high probability that the strangeness in the beauty village also has magical factors. After all, it is difficult for people to notice the abnormality within half a year. With their level of revealing the secret in just three sentences, it is obviously difficult to do it without a charming halo.

In a word: the deeper the forest, the more pitfalls there are; once the monster is found, one's life is hard to save.

Cherish life and stay away from mountains and forests.

……

The moon star is thin, and the black dragonfly flies south.

Flying south is difficult.

Xidi began to suppress the flow of magic power and slowed down the speed. If it continued like this, after the surface magic power was used up, the body would start to hurt again under the siphon of magic power.

If his magic power were not restricted, he could fly at full speed and as long as he didn't get into a car accident, he would be blowing the sea breeze in Celestilia, the royal capital.

It felt like the sun had set for more than an hour, and just when Xidi was wondering if that shabby village still had the custom of trapping travelers into the deep forest, lights appeared in the field of vision.

Xidi remained vigilant and used telescope magic to form a lens in front of her eyes. Looking from a distance, she saw a cluster of low buildings, sparsely populated, with simple walls around them.

After increasing the accuracy, Xidi could see the swaying shadow of the fire in the room.

This level of precision shouldn't be a magic trick of a monster.

It's just that many homes have turned off the lights after dark. After doing physical work during the day, they have either gone to bed or are making babies. It's not good to disturb anyone.

But compared to life, face is more important.

Xidi flew over decisively.

The man standing guard in front of the door was a tall man, carrying a bow and arrow, leaning on a spear and lazing around. He was frightened by the flute falling from the sky and said:

"Who, who...who!"

"I am a traveling magician."

Xi Di lit up the light and shined the corsage on his chest, but it was not necessary. The soldiers believed him when he saw that he could fly, and led him to the village chief's house.

To be honest, he is a little allergic to the word village chief now.

The village chief here is very normal. He is a man in his 40s. His muscles are not obvious and only bulge during movements. He is completely different from those who train in the city.

To hunt in the forest, you need to have such an explosive body. Only such a person will feel safe as a village chief, and more people will be convinced by his reasoning.

"Hello, welcome to 'our village'," he emphasized the pronunciation, "our village is called 'our village'."

"...Hello, I'm a passing traveler. I want to stay overnight. I can use magic to help the village solve some problems."

Ignoring the name, Xidi felt that this was a normal village. The demand for cash in this kind of place was not large, and it was not as easy to use as magic.

After hearing that he could do magic, the village chief's expression became kinder and he sat down so that Xidi didn't have to look up to talk to him.

"It's just not a big deal to stay for one night, so I'll shamelessly ask you to help repair the farm tools in the village. It would be better if the materials could be strengthened, and we will pay you. In the past, we also looked for people at this point. In winter, No one will be able to leave here in spring."

Retrospective and enhanced magic, this is no problem, Xidi agreed immediately.

The village chief seemed to have put down a heavy burden, and his brows relaxed.

At this time, a female voice came from the room, and a plainly dressed woman came out, "Dear, is anyone here?"

There was a little girl sticking her head out behind her.

"It's a passing magician. The things in the village can be saved!"

The village chief introduced in a tone of "Let's let all the big animals such as mules and horses at home rest."

The village chief's wife was not surprised by Xi Di's appearance. She hoped it wouldn't be because of some magician with a pacifier in her mouth. Please save some face for her colleagues.

However, the girl came closer. Xidi's height gave her a sense of security, unlike the adults who visited her in the past.

Xidi smiled at her, took out a handful of candies and handed them over, "No gifts, just some candies."

"No, no, no, this child has tooth decay and cannot eat too much." The village chief waved his hand repeatedly.

Xidi put the candy on the table, grabbed half of it, peeled off the wrapper and stuffed it into her mouth, "How about less?"

The village chief's wife nodded, "You're welcome, I'll go find some food. If you don't mind, I'll have some soup and bread for dinner."

"how come."

……

Soon, the village elder's wife came over with a bowl of broth that smelled of mushrooms, and a loaf of hard toasted bread.

Xidi took out the remaining dried fish and gave some to the village chief. While eating, he talked about the story of this dried fish.

The child hid aside and watched, and Xidi used the ice knife to cut a very thin strip for her.

The village chief didn't say anything, and the little girl accepted it with a smile on her face.

Should we say that feeding cubs is human nature?

"...Speaking of which, there is actually one more thing." The village chief, who was much more polite, scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I have a nephew who, um... harassed a girl in the village, and I beat him up. , ran out in anger.

It happened that our villagers went out to purchase supplies. When we came back, we found out that during this period, the animals were snatching food during the winter. It had been half a year and they still hadn't come back. I guessed that the old disease had relapsed somewhere else, and maybe they had been locked up. . "

Family scandals should not be made public. If you can say this, the village chief really cares about his younger generations.

"Alas, the only roads that boy can walk are the east and west. You can only see people by walking to the west for half a month. Usually no one goes there, but it is said that there is a woman... cough cough cough!"

Under the watchful eyes of his wife, he changed his words:

"There is a village. That boy might have gone there when his head got hot. Have you ever passed by there?"

Xidi's hand holding the bread froze for a moment, then she stuffed the bread soaked in soup into her mouth and shook her head, "Yeah, but it's a small place and I haven't heard of any outsiders."

"Ah, that's good. It seems that your head is not broken and you are going east. You are also going east. I would like to ask you to go to the next village to ask for help. If you have any news, just ask the hunters to send a message. I will pay the reward."

"Ah...well, I'll ask about the little things."

Lustful, half a year ago, rumors...
