Chapter 264 Witch and Pig

The old woman gave the girl an apple to eat for no reason. There was a high probability that the apple was poisonous.

Snow White spent a whole story telling us this lesson: don’t eat food handed to you by strangers.

What should I do if I have to eat it?

Who gave it to you, feed it to whom.

"That's all you are..."

The old lady struggled.

"Don't move."

Cha Bai rode on the old lady's body, probably because people in this world are in good physical condition, and at least the old lady's pelvis was not broken.

The girl pinched the old man's mouth and stuffed the apple into the old man's mouth.

What a friendly picture.

"This is how you treat..."

"You said you ate the apple."

"you……"

The old lady suddenly turned into a crow, flew away from Cha Bai's crotch, circled around the roof, then turned into a black cat, leaped gracefully onto the bookshelf, and finally jumped onto the table, turning back into the old woman's appearance.

The old guy spat out the apple crumbs and shouted: "I didn't say I would eat it, I said you would eat it!"

Cha Bai replied coldly: "But you just said you ate it, you didn't say it must have been me who ate it."

The old lady gritted her teeth, her face suddenly became as big as a hot air balloon, and she was squeezed into the room: "You girl! Where did you learn the concept of secret exchange!"

"Gunt O'Dimm." Chabai paused and said, "And my man."

"What bad guys have you come into contact with..." The old lady picked up the apple core and said, "This is a magic apple to test, not a poisonous apple!"

"Purpose?"

"What is the purpose of your coming here? Isn't it to accompany a lonely old man?" The old lady snapped her fingers, and a wicker chair appeared under her butt. She sat down and said, "You can come in, it means you have some knowledge." Magic, but no, I need to know how much magic factor you have, this apple can test it."

Cha Bai tilted his head: "What do you mean?"

The old lady said: "Those who cannot master magic power cannot see this room. People who cannot control magic power cannot enter this room. People who cannot control magic power skillfully are not worthy of doing business with me."

"That's it." Cha Bai snapped his fingers, and flames popped out of his fingertips.

"Girl, this won't work, it's too simple." The old lady smiled, pointed her old finger, and said: "Unless you have a more surprising elemental spell, or on top of that, a magic that surprises me. .”

Cha Bai took out the blood medicine from his backpack, and the old lady was stunned by his ability to pull out objects out of thin air.

"What about this?" Cha Bai put the blood medicine back into the backpack grid. In the eyes of others, the blood medicine disappeared suddenly: "Space spell."

At this moment, the old lady's swollen head shrunk, the flesh on her face twisted together, and her body began to change.

In just a few seconds, she transformed into a beautiful woman with a curvy figure.

"Okay, you're qualified." The beautiful woman asked, "What's your name?"

"Let's talk about you first." Cha Bai said.

The beautiful woman said: "Just call me 'Seal Witch'."

Cha Bai: "Aren't you going to tell me your real name?"

Seal Witch: "It's your turn, little girl, what's your name?"

Chabai: "Tifa."

…

Two hundred years ago, the iron train appeared, and people used a large number of steam engines to extract underground water sources, leaving large areas of the strata hollow. As a result, the magical minerals underground were discovered by the world.

One hundred and eighty-six years ago, someone used floating stones to make a wooden box that could lift into the air.

One hundred and seventy-seven years ago, the first steam airship with floating stones as its core came out. The method of war changed from the ancient magic, swords and fire blunderbuss to the flying wings that cut through the sky.

With the advent of steamships, human beings without wings began to show off their power in the sky.

They set foot on various originally unknown islands to hunt wild animals on a larger scale.

And one day, someone finally set foot on the empty island supported by large floating stones in the sky and clouds.

A hundred years ago, the fucking and romantic profession of adventurer became a "mainstream".

They arm themselves with steam guards, slay dangerous beasts and explore treacherous environments.

A new wave of exploration begins, and the world's weapons and equipment become more advanced.

"This gun costs 3 pounds."

The weapons shop owner raised his chin, leaned on his chair, and used a book as a fan to fan himself.

Li Nuo picked up this magic pistol that could shoot white flowers, touched the coins in his pocket, and regretted that he had just given all the money to Cha Bai.

"Cheaper."

"You name a price."

"10p."

"make a deal."

"You profiteer!"

Li Nuo put the gun into his mask, took out the newspaper and continued reading.

Except for some popular science sections...it's just about the big things that happened recently.

Last night, the news that sky pirates attacked the train also appeared in newspapers and occupied one-third of the hot topics section.

"The sky pirates from Dolos really took the blame."

Li Nuo muttered to himself, passing by a food stall, buying a piece of bread for 1 penny and holding it in his mouth.

He drank all the food and was very hungry.

I walked back while flipping through the newspaper.

Cha Bai stopped for a while near a stall just now.

He squeezed past, cut off half the sky-high price, and spent another 20 pence on a bracelet that looked like it was about to break.

[Li Nuo...don't you want to go...]

Chen Shou kept watching Li Nuo shopping and got tired of watching it.

“It’s hard to come to the world of ‘Ghibli’, why not check it out more, just in case you encounter something strange?”

【I am Qiyu. 】

"Slender brother, you are so shameless."

[You want to buy something for Sister Cha? 】

"Would you like to bring you some souvenirs?"

【don't want. 】

Li Nuo heard a noise.

He looked over and saw an army passing by. The army was holding banners, which was generally a signal of victory.

Li Nuo turned to the street corner.

We reached the "Alchemy" marker.

Fifty years ago, due to the advancement of science and technology, steam became the mainstream, and alchemy was gradually lost in the tide of history.

"Brother Thin, are you sure this is here?"

【Sure. 】

In front of Li Nuo was the garbage dump of the mining town.

Demon hunters' noses are always the most sensitive, and they can smell even more sensitive odors. When they are in a sea of ​​garbage, it is as painful for them as swimming in a cesspool.

Li Nuo endured the discomfort. He would rather drink the unpleasant decoction than stay here for too long, but for the so-called alchemy, he still walked into the sea of ​​garbage in the town.

There was a pig carrying a basket and its head popped out of the "sea" not far away.

Li Nuo looked over and asked: "Old man, are there anything related to alchemy in the garbage dump?"

The pig was surprised why Li Nuo could see that he was an old man.

Pig: "I'm actually about the same age as you."

Li Nuo said: "But the pig smell on your body has obviously entered the old age."

Pig: "My age was sucked away by some witch."

Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders: "It's a pity."

The pig, no doubt like Capone, is a disobedient kind of magician or soldier who was turned into a pig by someone.

The pig looked back and said, "There are a lot of alchemy materials. You can dig through them yourself."

"Wait a minute, you said your age was sucked away by a witch, can you elaborate?" Li Nuo said.

[Li Nuo...do you still have time to chat? 】

Li Nuomo replied to Chen Shou: "One of the key factors when playing games is that when there is only one NPC in an open area, there is a high probability that there is something hidden in that NPC."

"Do you want to see the witch?" asked the pig, then sneered: "I'm afraid your magic won't even be able to find her house."

Is it the magic knowledge task point that Cha Bai is going to face... Li Nuo pondered, sitting in the garbage pile, his cane inserted into the shredded paper and filth, holding his chin on the handle of the cane, and said with a smile: "I heard that witches I have something related to alchemy in my hand, and I want to learn alchemy, but someone told me that the best alchemy materials are hidden in this garbage dump, which one should I believe?"

The sense of urgency towards the monster suddenly rose in my heart.

Li Nuo stared at the pig. This beast was not simple.

"Who told you that the best alchemy materials are hidden here?"

"Who knows, maybe he is...a pig who doesn't want to be associated with the military." Li Nuo lowered his voice and said, "Would you like to have a chat with me? I won't delay you for too long."

"Don't get in the way, I still have work to do." The pig snorted coldly and continued to pick up garbage.

Li Nuo raised his hand and released the [Seal of Yaksi] on the pig.

"Is there anything related to alchemy in the garbage sea?" he asked.

"Yes..." Pig's eyes became cloudy.

"where?"

The pig shook its plump head, its cheeks slid like jelly, and then its eyes returned to clearness: "What magic are you using on me?"

Li Nuo didn't use dice because the side effects were too great and he didn't want to add any more negative buffs.

"I'm not here to play games, sir. If you're not going to say it, I can only take strong measures."

Outside the screen, Chen Shou was worried about Li Nuo: "He is too bold... He doesn't even know the origin of this pig."

on the screen,

The pig froze for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter.

As he smiled, black bubbles emerged from his body, and the oil-like substance flowed into the garbage on the ground, raising a stronger stench, and then evaporated in the air in the blink of an eye.

"You are definitely not a magician. What do you do?" Pig speculated: "Sky pirate? Pilot? Soldier? Or adventurer?"

Before Li Nuo spoke, Zhu held out his hand to stop him from speaking.

"Let me guess."

"You are not a bad guy who uses the war to make money, so you are not a non-commissioned officer. There are no traces of an outstanding bounty hunter on you, so you are not a bounty hunter who flies an airplane or an airship. You have valuable weapons on your body, and there is no disgusting odor of sweat. Taste, not a debt-ridden sky pirate."

The pig touched his chin.

"You look like a missionary bastard, but you lack the persistence of faith and the pedantry of those priests."

Li Nuo said with a smile: "You have a great interest in the unknown, but you don't connect clues to deduce like a detective. Instead, you rely on feeling to deduce. You are an adventurer."

"Hey you……"

"And you're a good guy, right?"

"Where do you start talking about this?"

"Only good people become pigs."

"Haha...hahahaha!" Pig laughed and said, "As you said, I am an adventurer, an adventurer who drives an airship around."

"How could an adventurer become a pig in a garbage dump?" Li Nuo led him step by step.

The pig took out a cigarette with thick black juice from his arms, held it in his mouth and lit it up automatically. This was not magic.

It's more like a random thought of some kind of mental body.

"I found an alchemy note. The witch in this city wanted it. If I didn't give it, I was killed by the witch. She sucked away my age and turned me into a pig and put it in the garbage dump. Imprisoned." The pig paused and said: "Friend, if you don't want to be turned into a pig by the witch, don't..."

Li Nuo moved out the folding stool, unfolded it into a plastic chair, placed it on the garbage pile, and pointed at the chair.

"Storytellers need a seat at the table."

The pig was confused for a moment, then sat down on it. Li Nuo tapped the leg of the chair with his cane.

The iron rod stretched out, but the pig didn't react at all, only black pus flowed out from underneath.

This scene sent chills down Chen Shou's spine from outside the screen.

Brother Shou reminded Li Nuo that this pig might not be a living thing. He had seen something similar to this in scripts. Things that are not subject to physical collision are often defined as "ghosts."

The cigarette in the pig's hand turned into a cigar.

There was smoke, like steam in the distance.

"I used to be in the air force. At that time, planes were just entering the battlefield. I was among the first batch of soldiers in the country. We were brave and good at fighting. We bombed cities with petrol bombs and massacred civilians. We were called heroes."

"What a tragic story, Mr. Pig." Li Nuo took out the empty bottle he had with him and took a bottle of black pus flowing out of the pig, intending to use it as an alchemy material.

"Later during a war, my plane was sunk by enemy artillery fire and landed on an island. The island was floating in the sky, lush and green, with various creatures wandering in the woods. I lived for a long time, and then I discovered... Previously What the hell am I doing.”

"Are you starting to repent?" Li Nuo tightened the cap of the bottle and looked over with a smile.

"Yes, confession." Pig said: "I found a strange alchemy drawing on that island..."

The more the pig talks, the bigger it becomes.

This world is very unreasonable, there is magic, there are curses running rampant, people can turn into pigs, it is just unreasonable.

Like the absurdity of the world of Cairo.

The world of magic is also absurd.

Thoughts will form curses, memories will expand the curse, and things that have been suppressed for a long time will be released.

"Keep talking, sir." Li Nuo lowered the brim of his hat and squeezed the cane with his fingers.

The pig said: "I don't understand alchemy. I always carried that thing with me. Later, I retired from the army and became an adventurer. I broadened my horizons and saw the scenery of the world everywhere. This was really good. right?"

"Yes, sir, it's very beautiful." In Li Nuo's eyes, the pig's body began to decompose, and a large number of black pustules covered the pig's body surface, forming a body like human pus.

But the pig's voice still came out calmly from inside the body.

"Until one day, the army came to me again. They needed me, a former ace pilot, to step into the battlefield again. This time I refused."

"Then a magician, or rather a witch, turned me into a pig."

"That's a good thing."

The pig paused.

"At least it shows that I have changed from the butcher who regarded killing as a great achievement to a good person."

"One day the witch who turned me into a pig came to me. She said she could sense that I was hiding some kind of alchemy blueprint, and she hoped that I would hand it over, and then she could turn me back into a human."

"She's lying." Li Nuo said.

"It's not important," said the pig, "I would rather lose my life than risk something that could become a weapon used by soldiers or magicians to launch a war."

The pig laughed.

"I have hidden the alchemy blueprints in my mind for a long time, and no one can take them away."

At this point, the pig has turned into a terrifying black thick creature.

[Li Nuo, you have a reaction, the blueprint is in the pig’s body! 】

Li Nuo listened to Chen Shou's voice and just asked: "So, how long ago was that story?"

"perhaps……"

The pig's voice became smaller and smaller, and its thick black arms swept up the garbage and covered Li Nuo's head.

"About a hundred years."

"Sir, may I know your name?"

"Don Quixote."

"Good name."

Don Quixote: "Leave quickly, my memory begins to devour you. This is the curse of the witch. She cursed my soul to forever become a thing that eats garbage. Once it becomes my memory..."

Huge blue magic power seeped out of Li Nuo's skin.

The purple [Seal of Arden] set off magic ripples and surrounded them.

"I have been a priest, and it is my duty to give the dead a home."

A flash of silver cane.

Crystal magic with purifying magic attached to it.

Under the dazzling sunlight, the crystal magic power danced out of the tip of the staff, tearing the sticky monster into pieces.

Li Nuo was still sitting there, raising his hand to grab the alchemy blueprint floating out of the darkness.

That pig has disappeared.

In the calm sea of ​​garbage, only the stench overcame the sense of smell, and the sun was still glaring, as if nothing had happened.

The story that happened in the blink of an eye made Chen Shou outside the screen widen his eyes.

He was very nervous just now. The "undead" that the pig turned into was enough to cause a bitter battle for a level 40 player, but the priest in the picture just used magic power to free the undead as easily as reciting a eulogy.

The definition of high-level players is very broad, but one thing is constant. What most players see as trouble is, in their eyes, sparse and ordinary.

"Slender brother, is this it?"

Li Nuo's voice woke up Chen Shou.

Brother Shou looked at the alchemy blueprint in Li Nuo's hand on the screen, and a prompt that only 2P could see popped up.

[Icarus’ wine glass...]

At this moment, Li Nuo heard the sound of the system.

At the same time, the drawing in his hand turned into fragments of the wine glass.

[As reminded by 2P, you have triggered the hidden mission of "The Alchemist": Icarus's Sealed Chalice]

[Don Quixote still doesn’t know that the island he landed on was Icarus. As for why no one discovered him for many years, this is related to the last secret of Icarus]

[Sealing the wine cup can unlock special abilities exclusive to alchemists]

[Tip: The rewards for this mission are risky]
