She put her head back on the horse. The small carriage loaded with their belongings had already been replaced by a covered carriage at a small chamber of commerce in Mountain Edge City. It was a lot bigger and heavier, but it also had a place to shelter them from the wind and rain.
Originally, the small carriage was intended to be pulled by a mule, so there was a limit to the load. But a kind-hearted person contributed five horses, greatly increasing the animal power. Naturally, they dared to use a better carriage. As long as the terrain wasn't too strange, they could now use a luxurious four-horse carriage.
Because of this, in addition to all their belongings, Lin, who wasn't in good physical condition, finally had a place to stretch and lie down in the carriage.
While they were moving things, there was a small interlude. Naturally, it was the container that no one was qualified to touch.
When they were almost done packing, the two girls looked at the container that didn't leave their elder sister's side for a moment and didn't know what to do with it. Fen noticed the two girls' embarrassment. She took a standard cut magic stone, inserted it into a groove at the base, and turned on a mechanism.
In the next moment, the container's appearance changed once more. Most importantly, the edges and protrusions on the container's surface had become smoother. Moreover, the magic array and runes were now hidden. At the same time, on one of the inconspicuous walls, a small irregular orange patch appeared. If someone didn't know better, they might think that it was a piece of dirt.
"Girls, take a look." Fen said. The two girls didn't suspect anything and directly reached out to take it. It was just that Kaya was closer to him, so she was able to pick up the changed container. Then … nothing happened.
After examining it closely, Fen said to the two girls: "In the future, if you see the eggshell change into this appearance, and here …" She pointed to the orange patch, "… if it isn't dark red or black, you can take it. At other times, don't touch it. You will die, and I won't be able to save you. "
"Yes, Elder Sister," Hallumi replied, and Kaya nodded in acknowledgment. The two carried the 'eggshell' and the other things they wanted to take away to the carriage.
As for the name 'eggshell', it was a random remark made by a certain someone in the morning after seeing the shape of the container. "Aiya, it looks like the egg in Alien." Of course, this baffling remark was questioned by others for the reason. Lin didn't shy away from talking about the movie he had seen before, about the egg-shaped Alien. Even though she had no idea what an alien was or what a movie was, 'eggshell' became the name Fen used for the container.
As for the large box of maps, Kaya and Hallumi had to work through the night to save all the information in the form of pictures into the maze version of First Coffin's portable computer. After all, if he were to run around with that big box of maps, if the lords of other places saw him, even if he wasn't a spy, he would become a spy.
Therefore, after recording everything, the box of maps was entrusted to the half-elf owner of the Song of Pigeons Inn to return to the Basque branch.
The carriage that left Mountain Edge City was a little lonely. No one came to send them off. Fortunately, no one sent them off with rotten tomatoes and rotten eggs. However, this could also be because the person sitting in the driver's seat was the Lich who didn't need to eat or sleep.
The two girls had worked through the night to help make the eggshell the day before. Yesterday, they had worked through the night to organize the matters of today's trip and record all the information on the map. Before they set off today, they couldn't take it anymore and had fallen asleep.
As for the useless man, he was just a patient. Just by standing up straight, he felt like his head was being cut open. It was so painful that he couldn't speak. Even if he wanted to cry out in pain, he didn't have the strength. Vaguely, he felt that he had forgotten a very terrifying thing. The feeling of wanting to get to the bottom of it, but on the one hand, he was afraid that he would really recall it. It was really strange. If he wanted to help the others, there was no need to talk about it.
Therefore, Fen simply drove the two girls back to the carriage to sleep. The man who couldn't do anything naturally lay in the carriage and became the two girls' pillow. Don't think that this was a wonderful thing. The two girls slept on the man's stomach, which was very uncomfortable. However, this discomfort could slightly divert his attention from his headache, so he let it go.
The extra mule and the fifth horse were tied behind the carriage with reins. The group didn't move very fast. Most importantly, Fen didn't deliberately control the direction and just let the horses move forward. Of course, she didn't know where she would end up if she continued down the path that she had taken to get here.
When the two girls woke up from hunger, the sky was already dark. The horses were already untied and the people in the carriage were ready to set up camp. As for the horses and mules that had already been freed from their restraints, they were looking for wild grass nearby to chew on.
They didn't dare to go far. Or rather, even if they went far away, they would definitely come back. They didn't dare to just leave and return to the place they were familiar with. After all, the Lich's voice that contained the power of authority was more powerful than any kind of instinct.
As for the lack of grass, it wasn't a problem for the herbivores in the Labyrinth. In this magical world full of vitality, not only were animals generally better than the same type of creatures on earth, but because there was no DNA testing technology, it was impossible to determine if they were of the same species. Even plants had the same tendency.
Even Lin, who didn't specialize in nutrition, could feel the nutritional content and satiety. The food in the Labyrinth was much better than the food on Earth. The simplest proof was that it was very easy for this world to make people strong or fat.
Of course, if there were specialized ingredients, the horses would be able to perform better in all aspects. But even if there wasn't, the wild grass on the side of the road was enough to keep the horses at a normal level and not too much of a decline.
When the girls woke up, they found that their pillows had been replaced with cloth balls. Their teacher had also left the carriage and sat by the campfire. Lin was teaching the Lich how to roast a wild boar. He couldn't do it himself. Fortunately, Fen didn't mind. But to ask a woman who had never cooked to make a dish that she was proud of … He didn't want to use a stomachache to divert the focus of his headache.
Roast meat was the simplest type of dish, if you didn't pay attention to whether it was delicious or not.
It was nothing more than bleeding, skinning, gutting, and making sure that the meat wasn't undercooked or burnt.
But even though it was just a few simple steps, even if Lin wasn't there to watch, just watching Fen perform, he still felt a sense of trepidation.
After tossing and turning for a while, he finally managed to roast a wild boar without making any major mistakes. That fragrance was like an alarm clock that woke people up, causing the two sleeping girls to crawl out of the caravan.
"Come and try it. I made it." Fen proudly promoted her work. Of course, she had already tried it before. It wasn't too bad, and could even be said to be quite tasty.
Although this Lich's body didn't need to consume food, it still imitated the senses of a human, including taste. Therefore, other than some self-comforting factors, she felt that it was delicious. In fact, the taste was not bad. At least, it wasn't like the 2D works that Lin had seen where the female protagonist was good at cooking, and she never tasted it herself.
Who wouldn't steal a few mouthfuls of food before cooking? Unless she had bad intentions from the beginning …
Looking at the way everyone wolfed down the food, Fen felt a little proud. They had all slept for a whole day and were hungry for a whole day. She had already forgotten when was the last time she cooked. She wasn't even sure if she had ever cooked before.
The water in the water bag was almost finished by the people who had just woken up. The two girls who were a little full went to the nearby stream to get water. On the way here, Fen saw a clear stream not far from where they had set up camp. The magic of the Land of Enchantment couldn't conjure the water or food needed by the human body. Unless it was connected to the Water Elemental Plane and paid a great price to transfer water from another world.
A certain man who was sick, of course, continued to play dumb. But Fen didn't want to hold back the question that she had been holding back for a long time. She looked at him seriously and asked, "How much do you remember from yesterday morning?"
Lin was a little confused by such a question. Didn't he say it when he woke up yesterday? What else could he remember today?
But he still thought about it seriously. After confirming that he didn't remember anything more or less, he said, "It's what I told you yesterday. What do you want to know?"
"Well, I want to know what you saw and how you saw it." Fen asked her question directly.
He recalled the scene he saw after entering the Fog Erosion Area and before he lost his memory. "It's like several artists of different schools and styles painting the same scene and then piecing together everyone's paintings. And there are many strange things that seem to exist in reality, but they don't. As for how I saw it … "
Lin tilted his head and thought for a long time. Unfortunately, his thoughts were interrupted by a headache. He gritted his teeth and couldn't say a word.
Fen didn't give up and continued to ask, but she also gave him a hint. She said, "You only got that ability after entering the Dream World yesterday. What did you do in the Dream World? "
After receiving the hint, a certain person who had a headache was impatient to think on his own and asked faster. So he said, "I'll go and ask." Then, he sank into the Dream World.
But entering the Dream World in such a physical condition wasn't very smooth. The originally clear world flashed with inexplicable noises from time to time. Sometimes it was like the scene in the Dream World flashed, and sometimes it was like seeing another scenery.
Next to the two-story Magic Tower, of course, stood the two clones who were also his own. The fat one had a welcoming smile that deserved a beating, and the short one had an expression that was so arrogant that he didn't care about anyone. A certain person who was having a headache suddenly wanted to have a big fight with himself and beat these two guys to the ground …
