Chapter 1941 The Witch of Lilliput (Ⅰ)

Hailar and Zion's siblings took Joan's warning seriously, and quickly added protective spells.

Just when the atmosphere in the grass was becoming anxious and the conflict was about to break out, a long cry suddenly came from the air, which aroused Joan's vigilance.

Looking up, I saw a big bird flying in the air, with white head and gray back, webbed toes, and wings spread ten feet long. It seemed to be a fulmariform albatross.

On the back of the albatross, a petite figure can be vaguely seen.

Not long after, the albatross circled and landed, just separating Joan and the others from the dwarves.

A handsome female dwarf was riding on the back of this bird of prey, wearing a long skirt made of colorful feathers, holding a two-inch long red coral wand in her hand, exuding a cold breath.

After a little identification, Joan can see that the red coral wand held by this pocket lady is probably infused with a 4-ring "Ice Storm" spell. Combined with the outfit of the wand owner, it is not difficult to guess that she is a spellcaster. By.

As for the albatross that obediently carried her flying, it was probably the little lady's magic pet.

...

The investigation results of "Advanced Internal Vision" confirmed Joan's guess that the little lady who descended from the sky riding an albatross was indeed a witch, and judging from the respectful attitude of other dwarves towards her, this witch was The family must enjoy a very respected status.

The little witch jumped off the back of the albatross and walked towards Joan and the others.

The dwarfs dressed as soldiers quickly followed up, holding their weapons tightly to protect the witch, while watching Joan and the others vigilantly, as if they were afraid that they would attack the witch.

The witch stopped, waved her hand, and signaled to the clansmen not to be nervous, then looked up at Captain Odysseus, who seemed to be the oldest among the outsiders, and calmly revealed her identity.

"Strangers, standing in front of you at this moment is Minnie Heroen XII, the current monarch of the Kingdom of Lilliput. I think I have the right to ask you, what is the intention of you breaking into my land without invitation?" for?"

Although Her Majesty the Queen was small, her demeanor was quite majestic. Her soft questioning was amplified by spells, and became extraordinarily loud and clear to the ears of everyone present.

To everyone's surprise, Queen Minnie speaks the lingua franca of mankind, and her pronunciation is very pure, which shows that her understanding of the human world is far deeper than that of her own people.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to express my deep apologies to you on behalf of my companions."

Captain Odysseus took off his hat, pressed it to his chest, and bowed deeply to Queen Minnie.

"Frankly speaking, we don't know anything about the island under your rule, and we don't have the slightest malice towards you and your people. The reason why we ended up on this island was entirely by accident. Conflicts are also caused by misunderstandings.”

"Your Majesty the Queen, we just want to rest a little in your territory and collect some fresh water. I hope this small request won't embarrass you."

Queen Minnie nodded thoughtfully after listening to Mr. Captain, and turned to look at the working steam pump, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Holden saw her thoughts and explained to her at the right time: "Your Majesty, this machine is called a water pump. It uses magic crystals as energy to drive the steam boiler, and uses the steam to drive the piston to continuously pump water, which saves the heavy labor of manual water pumping." .”

"I've heard of a similar magic device, but it was installed on a large ship. It is said that it can drive the oars to paddle automatically, and it can sail freely in windless seas." Queen Minnie said thoughtfully.

This is a bit beyond the knowledge reserve of Mr. Poet, so he quickly winked at Joan.

Qiao An understood, and then Holden said to Queen Minnie: "The structure of the marine steam turbine is more complicated than that of the steam water pump, but the energy and working principle are the same."

"Humans are indeed a magical race. Your world is full of smart minds, but it is also full of brutal atrocities..."

The little queen sighed after feeling, and looked up at Joan: "How much water do you need to pump?"

"It is enough for us to extract 1/3 of the stagnant water in this pond." Qiao An gestured towards the pond, and then quickly emphasized: "Theoretically, pumping this fresh water will not damage the ecology of the island."

"Ms. Minnie, you are the lord of the island, and the pond is of course your property. If you need us to make compensation, just say so." Hailaer patted the wallet, "We are serious businessmen, and we guarantee fair trading."

"Most of us Lilliputians have the ability to release the 'Water Creation' at will. We have as much fresh water as we want, and the distinguished guests can take it, don't mind."

Queen Minnie smiled lightly, and continued: "But having said that, I do want to negotiate a deal with you, and I dare say it will be beneficial to both parties. If you are interested, please come with me."

Before Hyrule could reply, Queen Minnie turned around and walked deep into the grass, and her guards also retreated the same way.

"What should I do next? Do you want to go with her?" Hailar asked his companion in a low voice.

"Queen Minnie is probably a witch or a warlock. We'd better not go with her. If we fall into a trap, it will be troublesome to be turned into a pig by her spell." Captain Odysseus smiled wryly.

The story of an evil witch living on a deserted island overseas who cast spells to turn sailors who were shipwrecked and stranded on the island into pigs has been passed down since ancient times, and it is a household name.

"I don't think that little queen is a bad person. If we refuse his invitation, it would be too impolite. Maybe it will anger her instead, so that would be bad." Audrey said.

Holden also felt that it was all coming, why not go to the place where the dwarves lived, even if the deal could not be concluded in the end, it would be good to learn a lot.

"What do you think?" Hailar looked at Joan.

"Queen Minnie is a level 7 witch. Even if she is malicious towards us, it is not difficult to deal with. What I am worried about is that there is a mythical creature on this island, but I am still not sure where the other party is hiding." Joan truthfully Tell each other.

Hyrule hesitated for a while, and finally made a decision: "Mr. Captain and the sailors stay here, and return to the ship after collecting enough fresh water. Joan, Audrey, and the little rascal, come with me to Queen Minnie and see what she wants. What a trick!"

Joan himself was also inclined to accept Queen Minnie's invitation, not to mention the Zion siblings, who followed Hyrule through the grass and came to the lake in the center of the island where the dwarves lived.
