After hearing the Fairy Walker's sorrowful story, the students' spirits dropped. Of course, this was not what Baiyi wanted to see, so he quickly said, "I didn't tell you this story because I wanted you to feel sorry for the Fairy Walker. My original intention was for you to learn from her optimistic attitude. You're much happier than her, aren't you? Remember to keep smiling from now on, even when I give you homework … "
The first part of the speech was fine, but the last part of the speech made the students' emotions start to fall again. Their overbearing teacher couldn't be thinking of assigning homework in this kind of place, right?
Baiyi waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright. We've just finished a sad story. Let's move on to a heartwarming one. Hmm … It's about a girl about your age, with pink hair, and a snow-white mystical beast with a pair of long ears … "
The story was shorter than the Fairy Walker's, so the students listened attentively. Sure enough, the atmosphere was livelier than before.
"… So, in the end, everyone successfully defeated the Great Demon King, and together, they returned to the top of Chaldea. Looking at the snow that never melts, they continued to wait for the next challenge." When Baiyi finished, the carriage burst into applause. Even Kitsune was clapping, and the owl was flapping its wings vigorously.
"Godfather, are you telling us this story to tell us that as long as we have strong faith, we can protect everything?" Vidomina asked, digesting the meaning of the story.
"How could that be? What can we protect with just faith? The point of this story is to tell you how important it is to have a good equipment and a group of good teammates. Look at the heroine, if it wasn't for the beast that sacrificed itself in the end, wouldn't she have failed as well? "Baiyi knocked on Vidomina's head and corrected her.
By the time the two stories were finished, the sky had begun to darken, and the carriage had arrived at a remote town. They had to stay there for the night and continue their journey the next morning.
The carriage rocked back and forth for a long time, and the students were tired, so they checked into a treehouse-style inn. After enjoying the delicacies of the elves, they all went to bed. Only Kitsune and Sunflower did not sleep. Instead, they went to Baiyi's room and stared at him with green eyes.
"What happened?"
"Hungry …" A magical word appeared above Fox's head.
"Didn't you eat?"
"I feel like I just ate a meal of grass …"
"I can't help it. Elves just like to eat vegetables. I know you two like to eat meat, but this place clearly doesn't sell meat! Why don't we go out and hunt? "Baiyi said helplessly.
"There's no need to trouble mentor. The two of us can go," Fox said.
"Alright, then. Come back as soon as you can. Remember, don't bring back the smell of blood. It's better to keep a low profile in someone else's territory," Baiyi reminded.
The fox and the sunflower instantly reverted to their original forms — a giant fox the size of an adult horse, and a bunch of strange-looking plants that looked like tentacles.
The two of them colluded and jumped out of the window, disappearing without a trace.
He had no idea where they went or what they ate, but they did as Baiyi had told them to and returned as soon as possible. Their bodies were also clean. After all, both of them knew magic, so it was only natural for them to be clean.
After saying goodbye to Baiyi, the two of them reverted to their normal forms and went back to their rooms to sleep.
The next day, when Baiyi was paying for his room, he heard the innkeeper say, "Sir, if you're planning to venture deeper into the Great Dark Forest, you'd better be careful. It's not safe out there."
"What do you mean?" Baiyi asked calmly, handing over two gold coins to the innkeeper.
"I heard news this morning that there's a terrifying beast roaming around the area. It's been eating a lot of animals in the forest outside the city. Even some of the farmers' sheep have been eaten! That damned monster! Those farmers rely on selling their sheep's milk to feed their families! How are they going to survive if this continues? " The innkeeper said angrily. "I've already notified the city guards, and they'll be searching for this monster as soon as possible. So, why don't you stay for a few more days until the forest is safe?"
"Thank you for your kindness," Baiyi said sincerely. Also, there's something I left upstairs. I need to go back and look for it. "Baiyi said sincerely.
"Do as you please. It's my honor to serve such a generous customer," the innkeeper said, smiling sheepishly as he took the gold coins.
Baiyi whistled and carried the kitsune and the sunflower upstairs.
A few moments later, a series of blood-curdling screams could be heard from downstairs. It sounded like the mournful wails of a dying beast.
A few moments later, Baiyi led the dispirited kitsune and the sunflower downstairs, carrying five broken feather dusters in his hands. He tossed the feather dusters into the dustbin and led the kitsune out. Just as they were about to step out of the door, he turned around and asked, "Sir, do you know where I can find feather dusters in this city?"
The kitsune and the sunflower trembled in fear, not daring to even breathe.
The group continued on their way, and when the carriage passed by the farm that the innkeeper had mentioned, a kitsune jumped down from the carriage and ran into the empty farm. Then, she threw a storage pouch on the ground, with a note attached to it. "Use this money to buy a new sheep."
Baiyi's attitude toward the pair softened a little when the kitsune caught up with the carriage and hopped back into the carriage.
However, when the two of them realized that they were going to be herbivores for the rest of their lives, they could not relax.
The carriage continued to move forward, but this time, it did not take long before it came to a halt. Baiyi was still in the middle of telling his students a sweet, healing love story, when the beautiful girl with long, pale blue hair and the boy, who was a few hundred years old, were strolling around a city filled with orcs. Just as the boy was about to sing the classic song, Scarborough Fair, the coachman interrupted him and told him that they could not go any further.
However, when he stepped out of the carriage, he realized that he was still in the forest. Aside from the faint scent of humans on the road, he was surrounded by a dense forest. It was obvious that he was still a long way from his destination — the Fairy Village.
"There's a notice here." The coachman pointed at a large tree by the roadside. There was a piece of parchment stuck to the tree, and it read in the Fairy Language: "Eom Village is prohibited from visitors as of the date of this notice."
Of course, Baiyi had translated it himself. Of course, the original text would not have sounded like 1024; Baiyi had translated it himself.
"What's going on?" Baiyi asked curiously.
The coachman shrugged, indicating that he did not know. However, he still took the initiative and guessed, "Maybe it's because there are too many tourists visiting Eom Village? Maybe it's disturbing their lives? The people there are different from us. They're conservative, and they're even more conservative than the average conservative. "
"Does anyone else know about this village?" Baiyi asked curiously. The fact that this village had an inheritor of the Caudillo Butterfly Art was a secret that no one knew about. Before the Fairy Walker received the Caudillo Butterfly Art, she had gone through a series of solemn and sacred rituals, swearing that she would never reveal the secret of the village to anyone. If Baiyi had not exchanged memories with her, she would not have told Baiyi about this village.
While Baiyi was still trying to figure out what was going on, he heard the coachman say, "I'm sure no one knew about this village in the past. Not even us, the secular fairies, knew about it. However, when the news of the Caudillo Butterfly Art, an ancient artifact of the fairies, came out, more and more people came. Not just the fairies, but even the dwarves came to investigate."
"The legendary Caudillo Butterfly Art is here? Where did you hear about it? Why would such a mythical artifact appear in a place like this? "Baiyi pretended to be curious.
"I heard it in a tavern. Everyone was talking about it, and no one knew if it was true or not. For the past two months, I've been coming here many times. They didn't forbid tourists from coming here, but every time they came back disappointed. Maybe the rumors were false? But rumors, no matter how false, will always be believed, "the coachman explained.
"Erm … I get it. Alright, we'll stop here. We'll walk the rest of the way ourselves, "Baiyi said, tossing a gold coin to the coachman.
The coachman caught the coin and studied it. It was gold from Isythre! The coachman was elated. The quality of the gold from Isythre was better, and the content was higher. It was even harder than the Fairy Empire's own gold.
"Sure enough, guests from Isythre are generous and generous!" The coachman said in satisfaction. "But, generous guest, I must remind you that although there are not many people in Eom Village, they have preserved many of their ancient skills, including their marvelous archery. If you insist on barging in, you'd better be careful."
The coachman hopped onto the carriage, turned it around, and left, wishing Baiyi good luck in the fairies' language.
After the coachman was gone, Baiyi stood there, deep in thought.
Obviously, the news about the Caudillo Butterfly Art had been leaked. But who had leaked it? It couldn't have been Baiyi or the sleeping fairy, so it had to be someone from the village.
Of course, that was not the main point. The main point was that a lot of people had come after hearing the news, but none of them had found anything. It meant that the Caudillo Butterfly might not be here and had been taken somewhere else. If that was the case, should he force his way in while others might think it was a taboo?
