Two days later, the two finally arrived at the legendary 'Witch's Hut'.
This was a magic hut hidden in the Nightmare Garden, and it was guarded by a rank 1 Witch, Sharon, who was from the Death Witches' tribe.
Alice used her young and cute face to get the approximate location of the mysterious area from the nearby villagers. Only then did the two find the entrance to the Nightmare Garden in a desolate area.
According to Alice's introduction, this should be a 'field' mission point specially set up by the Witch Council. It was guarded by official Witches who were in charge of evaluating and reviewing the apprentice witches' trial missions in the surrounding areas.
Since it was not open to the public, the Witches stationed here purposely created a mysterious and terrifying atmosphere to scare away the nosy villagers who were curious about the Witches. However, there were many rare magical plants in the Nightmare Garden. Not to mention normal people, even apprentice witches who were slightly weaker would have a hard time barging in.
Hence, when Grimm and Alice arrived at the entrance of the Nightmare Garden, they saw a gloomy garden surrounded by a crooked iron fence. Through the half-open gate, they could vaguely see the tall trees and strange flowers and plants inside. Places slightly further away were shrouded in a faint fog.
There was an old road sign erected on the right side of the garden gate, and a line of bloody words could be seen impressively.
Nightmare Garden, death to trespassers!
Looking around, they could see that most of the iron fences were already rusted. They were crooked and barely standing, with many gaps large enough for stray dogs to crawl through.
However, normal stray dogs would not even have the courage to approach such an area!
"Let's go, these are just tricks of the Witches to scare those country bumpkins!" Alice shrugged her shoulders and pushed open the rusted iron gate. With a hoarse creaking sound, she walked in.
Grimm, who was following behind her, could see very clearly that the moment Alice stepped through the gate, it was as if she had suddenly melded into a layer of water. Her short and frail figure suddenly became distorted.
"A.I. Chip, stay alert at all times. Alert me if there are any problems!" Grimm secretly ordered.
[Beep. Mission established … Discovered special force field undulations, not yet at the alert level …]
As long as there was no danger!
Grimm then walked into the garden with large strides.
As expected of the Nightmare Garden!
After entering, Grimm discovered that what he saw was a botanical garden, a plantation with magical plants growing everywhere.
This was a magical plant resource point that was similar to the gardens of human nobles.
The winding stone path under his feet was at least 5 metres wide, enough for two or three adults to walk side by side. On both sides of the path were flower beds separated by one-meter-tall wooden fences. Strange plants of various shapes and sizes were planted in them.
Although Grimm was not a Potioneering Master, with the information from the A.I. Chip in his mind, he could still recognize a small portion of the plants.
The Nightmare Garden was indeed the Nightmare Garden. There weren't many normal species of plants planted there. Most of them were evil, bloodthirsty plants and mutated species. If they were to appear in human society, any one of them would be able to stir up quite a storm.
Human-faced Mushroom, Blood-sucking Vine, Man-eater Flower, Sunwheel Flower, Konjac Grass, Snakehead Fungus, Tree Demon, Flower Sprite …
Most of these plants lived in groups, many of which Grim had dealt with for a long time in the magic swamp.
The Human-Faced Mushroom was in the shape of a small red mushroom. There were a few thin, dark stripes on the umbrella. At a glance, it looked like a child's drawing of a smiling human face. Once they smelled humans, they would stretch out their delicate hands and feet as if they were alive. They would gather together and squeak like a child, looking rather cute.
However, if someone was bewitched by them and walked into their midst, they would create a mysterious dreamscape that was similar to an illusion, causing the person to be intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
Also, don't be fooled by their cute appearance, they are carnivores!
There were also some plants that grew singly. There was only one tree in the huge garden. For example, the Tree Demons were such terrifying plants. They did not need companions to survive. Wherever they parasitized, all the other plants would lose their vitality and eventually wither.
However, the Treants here were obviously still in their infancy. Once they reached adulthood, they would pull out their roots from the ground and transform into intelligent humanoid creatures. Treants at that time were handsome in males and charming in females. They had natural charm spells and were ideal for witches to form a contract with.
As for wild Treants, they usually hid in the depths of the forest. They were a type of jungle sprite and were very difficult to capture. Even Grimm did not expect to see their larvae here.
Apart from these, there were also many mysterious plants that Grimm had never seen before in the Nightmare Garden.
They were densely packed pale yellow flowers. The pink petals were slightly closed and swayed slowly in the breeze. There was nothing special about them from the outside. But when Grimm bent down to take a closer look, he was shocked to find that there was a human face in each of the closed petals.
The old, the young, the men, the women, the beautiful, the ugly … All of their faces were clearly visible. They all looked different, but the only thing they had in common was that they all had their eyes closed.
Seeing this, Grimm could not help but use the word 'them' to describe them …
Because the sleeping faces in the petals were too realistic, Grimm had the illusion that they were real humans.
Grimm raised his head in shock, only to see a large patch of lush and lush flowers, giving him an inexplicable cold and strange feeling. As the breeze blew, there was a burst of whispering noises. The flowers seemed to be secretly talking about something.
[Beep. Unknown force field detected. Preliminary judgment: Illusion Domain … Suggested Host to leave immediately!]
Maybe it was not an illusion!
Grimm hurriedly took two steps away from the creepy flowerbed. He had a feeling that once the Face Flowers opened their eyes, something terrible would happen.
"Don't worry. This is one of the many resource points of the Witch Council. All the magical plants are strictly controlled. As long as you don't step out of this stone path, they won't dare to attack you. But if you are lured into the flowerbed, then … "Alice did not continue, but Grimm understood what she meant.
The situation here was similar to the magic swamp that Grimm had stayed in before. There were too many dangerous magical plants planted and bred in the resource point. For ordinary people, they were simply the most terrible monsters in the world. Even if those slightly weaker apprentice witches rushed in, they would probably suffer a lot.
This … was probably the main reason why the Witch Council had set this place as one of the assessment sites for apprentice witches' trial missions!
Of course, such a place was also managed by someone!
Just as Alice led Grimm to wander around the Nightmare Garden, a strange morning glory beside them suddenly swelled up, and a hoarse and gloomy old woman's voice came from it.
"Today is not the Nightmare Garden Day! I don't care where you come from, but you dare to break into my territory. This is a great offense! I'll give you three minutes to leave, or else … "
"Merciful Grandma Sharon, it's the lovely Alice who has come to see you! Have you forgotten about me? "Alice was not the slightest bit afraid. Instead, she screamed excitedly.
She actually knows a witch here?
Grimm suddenly understood. No wonder she chose this place first out of so many places!
"Alice … Which Alice …"
As the old witch muttered to herself, a palm-sized flower sprite suddenly crawled up from the giant morning glory. Her entire body was naked, and she looked like a miniature human girl. On her back was a pair of transparent wings that were as thin as cicada's.
To be honest, although the Flower Sprite looked similar to the Green Sprite that Grimm had seen before, they belonged to different forest sprites.
The Flower Sprite excelled in auxiliary plant witchcraft. It was gentle and gentle, and was usually captured by wizards to manage their residences and laboratories. The Flower Sprite excelled in plant witchcraft. It was fierce and fierce, and could fly very fast. It was often used as a battle pet.
After the Flower Sprite flew out of the morning glory, it waved a small magic wand in its hand. It flapped its transparent wings and quickly circled around Alice a few times, leaving faint green spots in the air that slowly dissipated …
"Alice! It's really you, Alice … Alice from the Moya family … Your name has been spreading around the circle of witches recently. I thought it was someone else with the same name as you, but I didn't expect it to be you! Since you're here, come in … But it's best to leave the fellow who came with you outside. He's a big problem now! " As if through the eyes of the Flower Sprite, the old witch in the house in the distance also saw Alice, and her voice continued to come out of the morning glory.
"Grandma Sharon, Grimm is Alice's partner now. Do you have the heart to leave Alice's partner alone outside with these magical plants?" For some reason, Alice was getting better at using her 'little girl' identity.
A sigh came out of the morning glory.
"You're already a mature woman in your mid-twenties, and you're still playing this game in front of me … Alright, alright. Let the wizard come in with you!"
Hearing the old witch's order, the Flower Sprite smiled sweetly at the two, turned around, and flew towards the witch's house in the distance.
