Whispering Verse

"I also have the ability to resist poison, and since my identity is a unicorn, the role should give me stronger resistance to poison."

The witch didn't want to let go of such an opportunity. Although she came to the Lost Forest to find talents, of course she couldn't give up since there was a chance to gain power:

"So, we still need a partner to work with."

Seeing this, the maid wanted to speak, but the young witch stopped her with her hand. She squinted her eyes and looked at the man opposite. The knight and the bard in the light of the flames looked at each other consciously, so the bard in colorful clothes raised his hand and said actively:

"Madam, you saved me at a great cost just now. Please let me repay you."

Although he still looked a little scared, the bard did take the initiative to do so.

"The unicorn, the parrot and the traveler under the moon each took away a candy. I don't know who will have luck or misfortune."

God said with a smile. After the words fell, the footsteps in the forest could be heard clearly again. But what was different from last time was that there was actually an old woman with silver hair and a skirt pocket filled with all kinds of colorful candies, walking out of the foggy forest.

She came within range of the bonfire, but stopped in a very subtle spot. Stretching out his wrinkled hand, there were three round black candies lying in his palm.

Shade and the trembling bard got up to get it, while her maid went to get the witch's candy. There was no difference between the three candies. Even if Shade touched them directly, he couldn't tell which one corresponded to what. On the contrary, the "old witch" who came out of the dense forest has a strong whispering element in her body.

It seems that Witch Andreana's guess is probably right. Although the travel story around the campfire is fictional, the dangers they encountered are probably those that can be found in reality.

The three people who got the candies put the candies into their mouths together. The candy tastes very good, it tastes like chocolate. When the food entered their stomachs, the three people had different reactions.

The bard held his stomach and groaned, trying his best not to hiccup; the witch covered her mouth and her body went limp, leaning against her maid. black.

And in Shade's ears, he heard "her" voice:

[Outlander, you have come into contact with whispers. 】

[You have obtained the thaumaturgy "Candy Making". Any object you consider "food" can be transformed into a candy you taste. Corresponds to the spiritual rune "Toymaker". 】

"I got lucky this time? Wait, what does candy making have to do with the Spirit Rune-Toymaker?"

Shade asked in surprise, and then thought that because of the "winter blessing" from the Silver Mountains, he could use snow as food, which meant that he could turn snow into candy.

Of course, Shade did not forget to reach out and touch the poisoned witch:

"Miss Andreana, how are you?"

"The parrot felt satisfied, and the travelers under the moon were blessed by the childish gods. Only the pure white unicorn was infected by the dark poison. The candy house also disappeared while the old witch laughed. ”

While the god was telling the story, the silver-haired old witch who appeared in the camp really made a weird laugh and walked back into the foggy forest. Shade and the maid Clara worked together to help the witch Andreana up. Shade picked up a broken branch from the ground of the camp. While casting a spell, his palms were filled with emerald green light:

"Elf's detoxification technique."

The purification power belonging to the alien species began to have an effect on the witch almost immediately, but it was clear that both Shade and the witch themselves felt that the spell could purify the toxins, but the toxins were not eliminated at all.

"Traveler under the moon, please note: you in the story do not have the power to remove toxins."

The god reminded him in a gentle tone, causing the witch who was preparing to detoxify herself to give up her plan to cast a spell:

"I've been having misfortunes since I got here!"

"The poisoned unicorn slowed down the travelers' progress, but they knew they couldn't stay where they were and had to leave as soon as possible, otherwise something bad would happen. During the journey of taking turns taking care of the unicorns, the travelers consumed You will have more physical strength and energy. When the time comes in the afternoon, what will you encounter on your journey?"

The god once again signaled everyone to turn over new cards, and Shade asked the old knight to do it. The old knight carried out the order faithfully, and this time the card surface was a very ordinary red flower. It looked like a jasmine flower, but it was somewhat different from the red jasmine flowers that outsiders had seen in the sixth era.

"Tired travelers, this afternoon, under the guidance of Lao Ma, I accidentally discovered a strange red jasmine flower. The flower bloomed very brightly and had a unique fragrance. So what are you going to do? Leave on the road? Let the unicorn eat it to detoxify? Or pick it off and use it as a decoration?"

"Sir, you decide."

The old knight said to Shade. This was also a rare initiative for him to speak, probably because he was the cause of this incident.

The bard made no comment on this, and Shade looked at the witch again, who slumped in the maid's arms and gritted her teeth and said:

"Yes, I can't believe I've always been so unlucky."

"But....."

"If you are poisoned again, I have other methods."

As she finished speaking, a red jasmine exactly like the flower on the card actually grew on the ground in front of her at a speed visible to the naked eye. The maid helped her pick it off. Seeing the witch's disgusted expression, Shade gave her another glass of water, and then the witch reluctantly ate the flowers raw.

Fortunately, she was lucky this time.

"The poisoned unicorn tried to eat the red jasmine flower, and its toxin was neutralized. It only needs to spend one more night before it can return to normal. The travelers continue on the road, taking turns taking care of the unicorn so that you can Even more exhausted.”

The sounds of horse hooves, wings and human footsteps in the forest were heard one after another again, and it was obvious that the footsteps were dragging.

"In the evening, you choose to camp in the cave you discovered by chance. Because it is the first day of the journey, and there is abundant water and food in the forest, there is no need to consider food issues. When the silver moon rises, the blessing of the moon will bless you. Events that occur at night are less likely to be biased toward bad things."

The god once again motioned for the people to draw cards, and this time Shade held out his hand. Turning over the cards, the card you see is the camp where everyone is at this time. It's just that there are only campfires and the old tent in the camp, and there are no five people and gods sitting together.

"Nothing happened tonight, everyone fell into a sweet sleep. The unicorn's toxins were completely eliminated. But due to the hard work during the day, when the next day came, the old horse with the least endurance was still tired, and his physical strength declined today. .The trip came to the second day.”

The old knight sitting between Shade and the bard bent down slightly without warning, as if his body could no longer support the weight of the armor. Seeing both Shade and the poet looking at him with concern, he shook his head slightly:

"It's okay. I suddenly feel very tired, as if I've been traveling long distances all day."

He was breathing heavily as he spoke, and it was clear that the situation was not as easy as he said:

"If that's the price of living to see my family, I can afford it."

At this point, three of the five people have shown their negative traits. The trait that makes the maid Clara unable to fight is very clear, so even if she hasn’t encountered the corresponding event yet, she will understand it, but Shade’s negative traits need to be waited and seen.

And through the first day of "travel", Shade almost understood that "one day" has to experience three events in the morning, middle and evening, and the three events may be good or bad, or nothing may happen. In this way, the remaining six days of "travel" will require at least 18 card draws.

"After packing up the camp, the travelers set off again. They had no definite destination and just kept going for the sake of travel. Soon after setting off, they heard the howling wind in the mountains, the rushing sound of the river and the lark in the forest. The sound of birds, which direction will you choose?”

The god asked the people sitting together, and the three voices actually appeared in the surrounding foggy forest. Along with the crackling sound of the bonfire, the story seemed more real.

It was still Shade and the recovered witch who made the first decision.

"I instinctively feel that the call of the lark sounds like a trap. The sound of the wind in the mountains probably changes the scene of our trip to the mountains. As for the river, is that an event? Or is it also a scene change?"

The witch analyzed, her eyes shining with the firelight, and she signaled Shade to say something.

"Ma'am, it's difficult for me to analyze without clues. But since it's a trip, I think it's not good to always be in the same place. It's better to choose one between the river and the mountain."

He suggested, but there were other reasons as well:

"If the lark is really a trap, we lack the means to deal with flying enemies. There are no wings depicted on your unicorn card."

The bard representing "Parrot" touched his nose.

"Then choose rivers. For travelers, water sources should be very important."

The witch suggested, and after Shade also expressed his agreement, the witch would unfold the first event on the second day's journey:

"The card shows...a ship anchored at the ferry?"

The sound of wind whistling in the valley and the melodious chirping of birds were gradually overwhelmed by the sound of water in the woods in the dark night fog, as if the river itself came to the side of the small camp. Shade even felt that the air had become much moister, and this story became more and more real.

God continues the story of the lost travelers:

"Following the sound of water, the travelers came to the river at the edge of the forest. This is a very wide river. It takes a day to cross the river, but you can also save a whole day's energy. The dock at the riverside The ferry attracted your attention, and the faceless boatman, wearing a black robe, asked you each to pay a gold coin as the fare to cross the river."
