Chapter 83 The Witch Fiona

"I still have many great works that have not yet been written, and many glorious poems left to be sung by future generations. Although it is a heroic act to die on the battlefield, it is so small compared with the lofty mission I shoulder. Throwing away life rashly in a moment of bloody courage?!"

"Oh~ Cruel goddess of fate, why did you force me to choose that seemingly cowardly but actually great road, walking on this glorious road full of thorns, I am like a lonely saint, destined to cry secretly, Incomprehensible to mediocrity..."

... How Casio explained his own mental journey is one thing, but the reality is that the court poet in the deep forest valley recovered his true nature of "Jester" at the moment when the pursuers were approaching, and all the praises he had just boasted in front of Shrek were gone. Do the math, put away the lute and run away, faster than a rabbit.

King Shrek led ten ogre warriors to shoulder the mission of covering the retreat of his subordinates, and persisted in fighting until all his companions fell down, and he himself was trapped in the bushes, soaked in blood, with no way to escape.

"Bah!" Spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva, the ogre lord leaned against the tree trunk and panted heavily, grinning wryly and muttering to himself: "I didn't even drink a sip of the fountain of wisdom before I died, Shrek, Shrek, Fiona said That's right, you're so stupid!"

"I'm terribly afraid in my heart, but I still pretend to be a hero on the surface. I'm really stupid."

A woman's cold mockery suddenly came from behind him, Shrek instinctively grabbed the big stick and tensed up, looking back at the person who spoke, the vigilance in his eyes immediately turned into ecstasy.

"Oh! my dear Fiona, what has brought you here?"

"Idiot! Now is not the time to say such stupid things, get the hell out of here!"

The senior ogre witch in a blue robe glared at Shrek unhappily, her beautiful round face showing anxiety that could not be concealed.

Shrek stared blankly at the lover of his dream, momentarily at a loss.

The witch shook her head helplessly, walked up to him, and suddenly stretched out her hands to twist his ears.

Shrek groaned in pain. The witch ignored him, and quickly made a spell-casting gesture, and slapped him hard on the chest.

The golden halo of magic power, which symbolizes the school of change, burst out from Fiona's fingertips, and quickly flowed through Shrek's body, turning the strong and tall mythical ogre lord into a ball of light yellow steam, maintaining a humanoid posture and floating in mid-air .

The great witch Fiona spit out another string of incantations in a hurry, and cast the 1st ring "Wind Breeze" to create a gust of wind on the ground, blowing the steam transformed by Shrek into the depths of the woods, and disappeared in an instant like a "wind blowing cloud". .

As the pursuers got closer and closer, Fiona turned her head and waved her hand, and a cloud of white mist containing magic power suddenly burst out, covering the pursuers in the front. The horses and the Asa warriors on the horses inhaled the mist, and they all yawned uncontrollably, collapsed on the grass and fell into a coma.

Fiona breathed a sigh of relief, threw off her cloak and flew into the air, her figure quickly fled towards the direction where Shrek flew away.

"Damn witch, you can't run away!"

Matoka's face was full of anger, and he opened his bow and arrow to lock on the back of the ogre witch who was fading away.

Victor raised his hand to prevent his wife from sniping the ogre witch, and shook his head slightly.

"Fiona is more difficult to deal with than King Shrek. Since she intentionally left some kindness and didn't hurt our people, why should we offend that witch? Forget it, let her go!"

...

In the forest glade where Irmin Sur was located, brothers and sisters Magni and Conti watched the ogre army retreat, and they all let out a long sigh of relief.

"The village and the holy tree are finally preserved." Magny put down his battle ax and smiled relieved.

Conti was reminded by his brother's emotion, and hurriedly turned and ran to the black oak tree, searching up and down, while calling Joan's name.

"How strange! I saw him jumping off the black oak tree just now, but he disappeared in a blink of an eye." Candy murmured anxiously.

"Stupid girl, there were ogres everywhere just now. If Joan was smart enough, she would of course run to a safe place far away to hide. You should ask others." Magni said to his sister.

Conti nodded, turned to look at the black oak tree, and called Mira in the wood language. The Dryad quickly came up to her and pointed towards Elmin Sur.

"I saw Joan wrestle with a bad goblin, and both of them fell into a tree hole," Meera said.

"Fall into a tree hole?!" Now Magny couldn't laugh anymore. Of course he knew that the tree hole in Irminsur was actually a plane portal, and the end of the tree hole led to the "Fairy Wilderness". However, unless the permission of Irminsur is obtained, any creature that forcibly breaks into the tree hole will suffer a magical backlash, and its flesh and blood will be disintegrated into dust.

"Old Bai! Old Bai!" Kandy shouted at the ancient tree in a crying voice, "You didn't hurt Joan, did you?"

"Phew... you impatient little girl, of course I won't hurt Joan." Gu Shu let out an old sigh, "Don't worry, Joan is still alive and is going through an adventure. As for whether the result is good or bad, It's up to him to choose."

...

In the wilderness of the Goblins, in the sunless subterranean vault, there is a clear spring of ancient wisdom in the center of the cave, surrounded by the roots of Ilminsur.

Joan was hanging upside down under a thick tree root with his head down and his feet upside down. Below the upside down body was the fountain of wisdom that was as calm as a mirror.

If Mimir's timing is correct, Joan has maintained such an upside-down posture for nine days. During this period, he has not eaten anything or drank a drop of water. His body has exhausted to the limit, and his thirsty lips are like two pieces of dry. Ye, the reason why he can still survive is because of the "mythical power" to maintain his life.

After enduring such cruel training, Joan was able to stay awake during the long nine days and nine nights, perhaps thanks to the constant pain in his right eye. In fact, he no longer has his right eye, and there is only a bloody hole in the place where the eyeball used to be. As part of the test, Joan had to cut out his right eye with a knife, and handed the bloody eyeball to Mimir in exchange for the fountain of wisdom.

Joan didn't want to think about the details of gouging out his right eye, it was too bloody and painful, even though he did it himself, every time he thought about it, he still felt painful, like a real nightmare.

Gouging out his right eye and hanging upside down on a tree for nine days - this is the test that Mimir proposed to Joan. For a boy who is only thirteen years old, it is really a cruel test to the extreme.

Joan accepted the test and silently endured all the pain she endured for nine days and nine nights. He doesn't hate Mimir, no one forces him, this is his own choice, no matter how painful it is, he has to grit his teeth and endure it.
