Chapter 2482 Driver’s Worries
After hesitating for a moment, I confessed decisively: "Yes, part of the reason is because of the hint, but it is just an inducement."
The Fairy Queen narrowed her eyes and stared at me for a while, then said calmly: "So, is there any other reason?"
"As you guessed," I said, "the real reason for me to leave has to do with my adoptive father."
"Master Dewey?" The Queen put down the tea cup, closed her eyes slightly, leaned comfortably on the sofa, and said lazily: "What is going on?"
"This." After pondering for a moment, I said, "There's something a little strange. I'm sorry I can't explain it for a while, but it sounds very serious."
The Fairy Queen was silent for a while and nodded: "I understand. Since you have a plan, then go ahead and do it."
"Thank you grandma for your understanding and tolerance."
"Just a little bit." The Fairy Queen stretched out her index finger and said, "Don't be impulsive."
"Here."
After leaving the palace, I summoned the assassin captain to lay out the next task. Then I took the magic airship alone and headed straight to the forbidden island where Antuen was located.
The airship pilot who carried me this time was an outstanding student who graduated from the new batch. The driving process was very standardized, except that from time to time he would clasp his hands and pray silently to the sky.
I was puzzled and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Say sir, I'm praying."
“Pray to whom?”
"The God of Creation."
"Pray for what?"
"I pray this trip goes smoothly."
I looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Are you still praying that you can come back alive?"
"Uh, you, how did you know?"
"Don't call me 'you', it makes me look older. We are about the same age, so use 'you'."
"Yes, you, how did you know?"
"Guess" I said: "After all, the place I am going to is a forbidden place, a rumored place of death. But as you can see, both the pilot who brought me here last time and I are alive and well. No ?"
"Sir, you must be a lucky star protected by the God of Creation, that's why you survived in danger."
"Don't listen to their nonsense. The lucky star protected by the God of Creation is pure nonsense. Those people, they probably couldn't explain why the driver and I were able to return from the forbidden area safely, so they just resorted to it mechanically. The legends and stories in some legendary picture books, and then invented some fictitious titles, were placed on our heads to fill their imaginations."
I chuckled twice and continued: "But in fact, the reason why the forbidden area is called the forbidden area is because the invaders encountered invincible factors here, which led to their failure to conquer the city. But if they go back like this, they will definitely be punished by those in power. In order to absolve themselves from the blame, they fabricated a series of horrifying incidents, which not only satisfied their needs, but also used the method of intimidating the world to prevent people from easily setting foot in the place, thus burying their failure to return the blame. Purpose."
"In short, forbidden areas are not forbidden areas of life, but dangerous places created by some people for some unknown purposes. Do you understand now?"
"Yes, sir, I understand."
He said he understood, but the driver was still a little uneasy, but at least he was much better than before, and at least he no longer prayed every now and then.
The airship sailed towards the Forbidden Island Group at maximum power. Along the way, in addition to the vast blue sea, there were clusters of uninhabited islands and reefs. Occasionally, it would pass by one or two huge islands comparable to the size of towns, but there were many of these islands. Covered in jungle, it was difficult to see clearly what was going on on the island.
"If I have time, I will definitely explore these uninhabited islands more, otherwise I will always feel that there will be a vacancy in my life."
I said silently in my heart.
With the long sailing time, the pilot was finally too lazy to pray anymore. After designing the route, he pushed the steering wheel back to the bridge, took out a bottle of transparent liquid, and shook it at me: "Sir, you .Do you want to drink?"
"Drinking?" I asked, smiling at the same time: "I didn't expect that you, an outstanding graduate, would also drive drunk?"
"No, sir, this is just ordinary water, but with a few drops of purple heart grass juice added."
When I heard the words "Purple Heart Grass", I immediately frowned: "Purple Heart Grass?"
"Yes, sir," the driver said, "but don't worry, I specially asked a doctor to prepare a safe dose, and the purple heartgrass juice in it has also gone through several filtration steps, which can ensure that it refreshes the mind while not Addiction.”
Seeing that I was still silent, he thought hard for a while and then said: "Sir, do you have some misunderstanding about purple heart grass? Yes, if you take it in large quantities, there is indeed a risk of addiction, but if you strictly If taken according to the doctor’s instructions, it will not only cause no harm to the body, but also have the effect of strengthening the body, enhancing memory and immunity.”
Seeing that he was still going on, I waved my hand and interrupted him: "That's enough. Pour me a glass too, so I can taste the taste of this terrifying plant."
"Sir, you really know how to joke." The driver filled a glass of water, handed it over, and said with a smile: "When Purple Heart Grass was first discovered, it was always used as an analgesic. Later, some doctors specially prepared it. It became a refreshing drink. It was not until someone discovered that it was addictive that it was sold as a commodity. However, this process did not last long. It was judged as a harmful commodity by health organizations in various countries and was labeled as prohibited from sale. Today, only qualified doctors with medical qualification certificates and some priests who have mastered medical theory are qualified to sell products containing purple heart grass juice through legitimate channels."
I took the water glass, shook it, and watched the tiny bubbles floating and rising. I asked casually: "Is this all the knowledge you learned in driver school?"
"No, these are all mentioned in the books and magazines placed on the clinic's bookcase."
"What kind of books and magazines?" I asked.
The driver of "Medicine and Law" thought for a moment and said firmly: "It's mentioned in that book."
If it were medical law, it might still have some credibility. At least the doctors in Hefeng Continent wouldn't make fun of their reputations.
After taking a sip, I didn't feel that this water was any different from other drinking water. In fact, the taste was not as good as natural mineral water.
Smash it, hit it, I drank all the water in the glass. The driver wanted to pour it for me again, but I reached out and refused.
"Thank you, but that's enough."
"Sir, am I right? This is just ordinary drinking water, with slightly cool purple heartgrass juice added just to refresh your mind."
The driver took a sip and continued: "You may not know that a newcomer like me must always stay awake when driving to avoid making mistakes. When I become a veteran, I will no longer have these worries. I I heard that some veterans with very long driving experience can distinguish their surroundings even with their eyes closed, it’s amazing!”
