At night, Hallumi was unusually quiet. The injury on her calf hurt so much that she could not speak, so she could only rest. This made a certain someone exclaim that the wild girl had finally stopped.
Under the suggestion of her companions, Hallumi took out the magical knowledge that she had not read for a long time to study and shift her focus to see if she could use the dizziness to reduce the pain.
Kayah was cleaning up the remains of dinner at the campsite. Fen was frowning as she rinsed her mouth, hoping to wash away the unpleasant taste in her mouth. She was willing to eat the food she made, but it did not mean that she was satisfied with the taste.
Seeing Fen's troubled look, Lin also knew what the Lich's troubles were these days, and asked, "Do you still taste some strange things?"
"What do you think? Also, why can't any of you feel the taste? "
"I'm guessing that this might be a problem with your new body."
Fen frowned at this guess and asked, "You mean this body is defective?"
"Defect might be a bit of an overstatement. If you ask me, I think this is a side effect of strengthening the body's performance. "
"What kind of side effect? Ah! "This woman who was able to become a Lich was not stupid. After being reminded, she immediately thought of a possibility and asked, "You mean the problem of my senses being too sharp?"
"Yes, actually you have experienced a similar situation, and we have even discussed it. That was when the body formed by Authority received too much external information, which resulted in a phenomenon of interference in thought. I remember I once said that a lot of people's unpleasant reactions are actually a protective mechanism. Including dullness, doesn't it actually avoid a lot of unnecessary interference? "
"But at that time I got used to it."
"Doesn't this prove the difference in the degree of control you have over the body formed by Authority and the real body? And I'm guessing that perhaps this body that you have spent so much effort to create is not only able to accept all kinds of substances, which is to say, its resistance is different from normal people's; its range of cognition is also much wider and more sensitive than normal people's. That's why you can taste some things that we can't taste, smell some things that we can't smell. And those things that normal people can't detect, perhaps because they are extremely minute, not enough to form a smell that normal people can detect. But with your keen senses, you can pick up the tiniest of scents and identify them. While those may be nutrients that the human body needs, normal people may not be able to take in too much of it. So if the amount is large enough for normal people to detect the smell, it may be a sign of danger. Therefore, under the effect of the human body's protective mechanism, the taste was definitely unpleasant, and it served as a warning to the person who ate it. Just like how you can eat poison as if nothing is wrong, but you don't like to eat those things. "
"Oh, that's where you're wrong. The ones that I had eaten yesterday had a different taste, spicy and spicy. If it weren't for their small portions, I would have eaten more. "
… Alright, wrong example.
However, regarding these words, a certain someone was only at the level of grumbling. If this Lich was given more time, she would understand these principles sooner or later, and at the same time adapt to the current situation.
After Fen revived in the Tower of the Great Sage, when she wore high heels for the first time, she complained that they were meant for her to fall to her death. In less than three days, she was able to wear high heels and chase the two big dogs, Gray Hoof and White Nose, up to the sky and down to the ground.
At that time, Lin had already added magic tattoos on the four legs of the two dog-like magic beasts. In the true sense, their feet were the road, and jumping on roofs and running on walls were nothing. Such a realm of success was useless to a certain Lich who had returned to the Lost Land after thousands of years.
A certain Lich, who was half a head taller than usual and wearing pointy high heels, chased after the two large dogs until they were exhausted and unable to get up from the ground. Their tongues hung from the corners of their mouths, as if they had been summoned by the God of Magical Beasts. The two big dogs who were forced into a corner could only whimper and beg for mercy.
With such a result in front of him, chatting with Fen today was just a matter of talking. He didn't need to put in any effort in exchange for a favorable impression. A certain someone wouldn't refuse to do such a small thing.
But even so, a certain someone's expression was quite interesting when he was speechless.
Fen didn't feel guilty at all when she looked at the person who was speechless. She just seriously thought about her situation and muttered to herself, "My previous body was formed by authority, so it only took a thought for me to change. Now that I've become a living body, I'm just as sensitive, and the range of my senses is wider. How do I control it? Or do I just have to get used to this feeling? "
Suddenly, a thought came to her mind uncontrollably. Fen's beautiful eyes were almost curved into a crescent moon shape, and her teeth were slightly exposed as she looked at a certain man seductively.
"What are you looking at?" A certain man who didn't know how to flirt asked almost subconsciously.
The next morning, the former Demon King, who was refreshed, bathed in the early morning sun and stretched. Actually, the current situation of this body wasn't entirely a bad thing.
The two apprentices, as usual, maintained a tacit understanding and pretended to be no different from normal. Those who were supposed to make breakfast did breakfast, and those who were supposed to make other preparations did other preparations.
Hallumi's injuries were not much better since it had only been a day. However, as a half-baked Druid, she was still able to perform some simple treatment and pain relief. Her daily work wouldn't hinder her, just that her movements were a little slower. To make her completely calm down and recuperate, she might have to break both of her legs.
When everyone was ready and set off again, a certain man, who was paralyzed like a dead dog and didn't even have the strength to eat breakfast, was thrown into the carriage.
The two girls sat in the driver's seat, with Kaya holding the reins. Hallumi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, didn't want to sit in the carriage. She simply couldn't stand the environment where she couldn't see the sky, the forest, or feel the wind. So she would rather sit next to her companion and try to make her injured leg as comfortable as possible. It definitely wasn't because she didn't want to see the pale face of the man who had been howling like a pig being slaughtered all night.
The calm black-haired, brown-skinned girl drove the carriage. Although it was a little slow, it was smooth and safe. It wasn't like when Hallumi held the reins before. She was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes left and sometimes right, doing whatever she wanted without leaving a trace. A certain someone had never imagined that riding in a carriage would cause motion sickness.
But Kaya was different. She could always detect the location of the traps in advance, and most of the time, she would resolve them by triggering them. Because according to their teacher's instructions, if they simply went around, the person who set the trap probably wouldn't be kind enough to turn back and remove the trap. This would only harm other careless travelers who were walking on this road.
And without a certain wild girl running around, they didn't need to keep an eye on her nervously, worrying that she would run into something she couldn't solve, or that she would pull a bunch of monsters back and they wouldn't be able to help her in time.
In terms of results, this kind of journey actually had less of a psychological burden. So the two older ones agreed to not untie the horses and give the wild girl an excuse to run around.
Especially now that there were only four horses left. Although the carriage was heavy, it didn't need four horses to pull it. Maybe two, or even one horse, would be enough. And there was no rule in the Land of Mystery about how many carriages a person could ride. Basically, the number of horses pulling the carriage was more like a show of wealth.
But how could a person of real status only use horses to pull the carriage? There were many people who used elephant-level beasts, bull-type beasts, or even land dragons to pull the carriage.
In short, tying four horses to pull the carriage was really not a big deal.
As for a certain someone who had caught his breath, he was lying lazily at the end of the carriage. He rested his head on the back of the carriage and looked up at the clouds in the sky.
The sky in the Land of Mystery was a little different from the sky on Earth. The sky here was more colorful, perhaps because the air was filled with a strange energy that didn't exist on Earth. From time to time, it refracted gorgeous light and strange scenes. Lin had once been to a place where Authority was very active, and he had seen the entire sky filled with a magnificent aurora.
Yes, it was like an aurora. On Earth, one could only see it near the Arctic Circle and if one was very lucky. In the Land of Mystery, as long as one had the leisure to look up, one could see it a few times a year. Whether it was day or night, sometimes if one was lucky, one could look up at the sky in the afternoon when it was sunny for a few days in a row and see the colorful cloud-like aurora.
Between the clouds in the Land of Mystery, although it was not like what was described in the common people's beliefs, there was a kingdom of the gods. Angels flew between the clouds, or heroic spirits who had fought for the gods in the mortal world rode on winged pegasi and freely played in the kingdom of the gods. But in the sky of the Land of Mystery, there was another special product of the fantasy world — the floating city.
The ancient empire spent countless resources to create five Mise Energy Nuclei, uprooted five mountains, and became floating islands in the sky. This was not a legend, but a force that existed in reality. To this day, the five floating cities still followed a special trajectory and slowly patrolled the sky. Sometimes, if one was lucky, one could look up and see the islands in the sky.
Each city had countless mages living in it for generations. They called themselves the people in the sky, different from the humans who lived on the surface. They had the most complete magic inheritance, and collected rare materials that had been preserved from ancient times to the present. Some of them were even extinct on the surface. It could be said that the floating city was the holy land that all mages in the Land of Mystery yearned for.
