Chapter 030 Sending a Letter to Forest Friends
Shu Li wiped her face vigorously with a towel and decided to act like an ostrich. The next time she saw the Elf King, she would refuse to admit that she had rubbed his hair.
After washing up, he left the bathroom, opened the cabinet, and transferred everything inside into the storage ring.
Since the Elf King was unwilling to take back the storage ring, he wouldn't be so pretentious.
Although he didn't understand what the Elf King meant by "grow up quickly", Shu Li thought that he was just a little fairy cub and was really useless.
When I grow up, learn skills and become strong, it will not be too late to repay the Elf King for saving my life.
The storage ring is really convenient. I can carry everything with me. The cross-body bag has finally completed its mission and is temporarily retired.
Shu Li stuffed her notebook, book, quill, and messenger bag into the storage ring.
Items enter the storage ring and are automatically stored in the corresponding layers according to category without the need for sorting, making storage and access very flexible.
Shu Li was very satisfied.
After packing everything, he prepared to go out to the commercial district to find a messenger to deliver the express to the fat bird.
However, before that, he had to go to the school cafeteria to eat.
I slept until the afternoon and was already very hungry. The fruit I had eaten last night had been almost digested.
He opened the door with a refreshed mind, but was suddenly startled by a group of cubs surrounding the door.
"Are you...something wrong?" Shu Li asked dully.
The leading ones, Discio and Angel, ordered the other cubs to step back and make way for their boss.
"Sperian, we want to hear your adventure stories."
"Yeah, yeah, didn't a lot of things happen after Sperian was taken away by the big bird last night?"
"Is the forest scary? Are there any monsters? Are they fierce?"
"How did the Elf King find you? I'd love to know the details."
"The king's unicorn is so beautiful. What does it feel like to ride on it?"
“…”
The cubs talked at once, asking questions one after another. Shu Li was dizzy and didn't know which one to answer first.
"Stop, stop, stop—" He raised his hand and made a stop gesture, and the cubs shut their mouths obediently.
Being stared at by over twenty pairs of innocent, bright eyes, Shu Li felt immense pressure. He patted his flat stomach and said tactfully, "Well... I'll come back and tell you guys after I finish eating and sending the letter... okay?"
"good!"
The cubs agreed in unison.
"Come back soon! We'll be waiting for you in the small square!"
Before dispersing, the cubs did not forget to remind Shu Li.
"Okay!" Shu Li made an "OK" gesture.
The cubs followed suit, raising their chubby little hands and gesturing around, finding it extremely amusing.
Listening to the children's happy laughter, Shu Li shrugged his shoulders and looked at Red Hair and White Hair who were still standing at the door.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"No." Desio shook his head.
"We'll wait for you to go to school for dinner together." Angel grinned.
Shu Li nodded, looking left and right, but couldn't see the fat boy. "Where's Budno?"
Dixie snorted softly, "He said he was very hungry and wanted to go to the school cafeteria to eat first."
Don't think he doesn't know what he's thinking.
I just want to eat more before they arrive.
The three cubs flapped their wings and flew towards the school cafeteria together.
Although it is past mealtime, today is a special day and you can get food no matter what time you go to the cafeteria.
As soon as Shu Li entered the cafeteria, he saw Budno sitting alone at a long table with five plates of food in front of him, eating with relish.
"Mmm, delicious--" Budno's mouth was full of juice, and suddenly, he felt a chill. He quickly looked up and met Desio's sharp eyes.
He was stunned for a moment, swallowed the fruit in his mouth, and chuckled: "Um...you guys are here? Come and sit down, I ordered a lot of delicious food, let's eat together."
Disio flapped his wings and flew over, sitting down opposite Budno. He reached out and moved the three plates of food in front of himself, leaving only two for him.
Budno looked at the fruits and baked oatmeal cakes that had been moved away, his narrow eyes filled with reluctance.
Angel sat next to Dissio and smiled sweetly, "Budno, you are so considerate."
Budno was crying on the inside, but he smiled generously on the outside: "Ah, well - eat quickly!"
Shu Li looked at the fat boy's troubled expression, sympathetic but not much. "Thank you, Budno."
"Nothing... nothing!" Budno grabbed a fruit and took a big bite, secretly thanking himself that he had finished a plate of Kuku fruit before they came.
Three plates of fruit were not enough for the three growing cubs, so Shu Li asked the adult goblins in the cafeteria for a few more plates of food.
Nectar, animal milk, boiled eggs from certain birds, oatmeal cakes, fruit platter...
As soon as the food arrived on the table, Budno's eyes widened.
Shu Li gave him two boiled eggs and a bowl of milk. "Here, have some eggs and milk."
Among the many foods, cubs prefer fruits and vegetables, and eat less eggs and milk.
Shu Li is different. He always asks for eggs and milk for every meal, and pairs them with vegetables and fruits. They are nutritious and healthy, and can also help him grow taller.
Budno accepted everything and took the boiled eggs and animal milk, his eyes narrowed into a line with joy.
Dixio stared at him seriously: "What did you promise me before?"
The smile on Budno's face froze.
Dixie turned to Shu Li and said, "He must have eaten a lot before we came. If you don't believe me, feel his stomach."
Budno quickly covered his stomach and shook his head like a rattle. "No, no!"
However, as soon as he hugged his stomach, it was squeezed and he couldn't help but burp loudly.
--silence.
Shu Li held his forehead and looked at Budno's guilty little face speechlessly.
Discio took away the two plates of fruit in front of him with an expressionless face, leaving him only eggs and milk.
"Ah..." Budno stretched out Erkang's hand with heartache.
Angel said considerately, "Don't worry, Budno, we will help you finish eating."
As he said this, he picked up the fruit and began to eat it with relish.
Budno wanted to cry but had no tears. He huddled in the corner of the table, looking pitiful, weak and helpless.
Shu Li: ...
No, with Budno's spherical body, no matter how small he shrank, he would not look pitiful.
After finishing their meal, the group left the cafeteria.
Shu Li was going to the commercial district to find the messenger, and the other three cubs followed curiously.
"Who are you sending this letter to, Sperian?" Angel asked.
"A big fat bird." Shu Li said.
"Fat?" Budno asked, patting himself. "Are you as fat as me?"
Shu Li looked at his round belly and raised his hands to draw a big circle. "It's much fatter than you. It's this big."
No matter how fat the little fat boy is, he is only as tall as a thumb, and the big fat bird is as big as a hen!
"Wow——" the three cubs couldn't help but exclaim.
The hens were very large for them.
"It has four more babies." Shu Li drew a much smaller circle. "Each one is round and furry, like a snowball."
"Snow? Sperian, what is snow?" Angel asked.
"Uh—" Shu Li blinked.
This group of cubs were born in the spring. Now it has been more than three months and it is summer. Naturally, they have never seen winter snow.
"Snow is solid water. Hmm... you'll understand when it gets cold," Shu Li explained briefly. Thanks to Jingjing's academic prowess, he'd learned a lot in advance that Sit hadn't taught him.
The other three cubs seemed to understand, but were full of longing for the big fat bird and its little chicks that Shu Li described.
Although it is dangerous outside the sacred tree, it is also very interesting.
While they were talking, they arrived at the commercial district. As soon as Shu Li landed, many adult goblins greeted him.
"Hey, lovely Sperian, good afternoon."
"Want to buy something, little one? Do you want to come into my shop and take a look?"
"I just made a new batch of toys at home, perfect for pups!"
"Here are some fresh fruits. Come, I'll give you one to try."
“…”
The adult fairies were so enthusiastic that Shu Li refused them with a smile all the way. The muscles on her face were almost stiff from laughing.
Wow~
After what happened last night, he seems to have become even more famous!
Now all the fairies knew that he was accidentally "snatched" away by the big silly bird, thrown into the forest halfway, and finally brought back by the Elf King.
Is this social death?
I really want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Under tremendous pressure, Shu Li finally arrived at the messenger station.
"Oh, dear Sperian, good afternoon. How can I help you?" The adult goblin at the Messenger Station greeted the blushing little cub with a smile.
Shu Li responded shyly: "Good afternoon... I'll post the letter."
The adult goblin winked playfully. "Send it to your new friend in the forest?"
Shu Li looked surprised: "You...how did you know I met new friends in the forest?"
The adult fairy smiled and said, "The monsters and small animals in the forest are all our friends. You must have received their help to return safely."
Before Shu Li could answer, Angel spoke up for him, "Sperian met a big fat bird, white and fat, about this big."
He imitated Shu Li's previous gesture and drew a big circle, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and his imitation was vivid and lifelike.
Budno continued, "Fatter than me."
"It has four little chicks, round like snowballs," Dizio said.
Shu Li kept smiling.
Okay, let them talk.
The adult goblin raised an eyebrow. "Sounds like a very kind bird. So, little Sperian, what would you like to send it?"
"A thank you gift." Shu Li touched his storage ring and took out five red crystal flower seeds. "I want to send this."
Originally, he wanted to choose one of the items sent by Mr. Snake as a thank-you gift, but when he saw that the fat bird liked the red crystal flower seeds given by the Elf King very much, he changed his mind.
He decided to invite the big fat bird to go back to the sacred tree and get seeds from home for it.
As a result, I forgot about it in a moment, but fortunately the sacred tree had a messenger.
When the adult goblin saw the cub using the storage ring, he couldn't help but take a second look.
Is this... the Ring of Guota?
Only the Ring of Guotah can be used without magic.
If he remembered correctly, this originally belonged to the Elf King, but now it was worn on the finger of a little cub.
The little fellow blessed by the king is indeed unique.
The adult fairy smiled knowingly, took out a small cloth bag, asked the cub to put the seeds in it, and then stuffed the small cloth bag into an envelope made of tree bark.
"Is this all right?" Shu Li asked.
Isn't it a bit too simple?
When sending express from his hometown, he has to wrap the package with three layers of tape inside and three layers outside to prevent the package from being damaged and lost.
"Of course not." The adult goblin winked mysteriously, "It still requires a little magic."
He pointed his finger at the bark envelope and chanted a spell, and the envelope began to glow with a dazzling golden light.
The four cubs involuntarily covered their eyes with their hands.
When the golden light disappeared, the envelope underwent a drastic change. The bark became extremely smooth, and a layer of crystal starlight flowed on the surface.
"Wow—" the cubs exclaimed.
"What kind of magic is this?" Shu Li exclaimed, "It looks amazing!"
"A small defensive spell." The adult goblin took out a quill. "Is your friend's name Big Fat Bird?"
"No!" Shu Li shook her head. "Its name is Doris, and it's a snow-white t... t... t... t... t... "
Oops!
What kind of bird is Tagang?
He forgot!
"Taganga?" The adult fairy helped him tell Doris's species.
"That's right! It's the Tajuna!" Shu Li slapped his palm.
"Okay." The adult elf held the feather pen and wrote the words Doris and Taganga Bird on the front of the envelope in beautiful elven characters.
Shu Li took out a magic notebook and pen and took notes on the spot in case she forgot again.
When he turned to the latest page and saw a cute cartoon snake, he cried out "Ouch!"
"What's wrong, Sperian?" The other cubs were startled.
"Have you encountered any difficulties?" the adult fairy also asked with concern.
"I, I... I..." Shu Li held the notebook, blaming herself in frustration, "I forgot to send my regards to the Elf King on behalf of Mr. Orochi!"
What a fool he is, he could even forget such an important thing!
It must be that the cub's body affected his brain capacity, causing him to lose his memory when he was frightened or excited.
Not only did he forget to say goodbye to the fat bird, he even threw Mr. Snake's instructions to the wind.
If he hadn't opened his notebook and seen the cartoon snake, he really wouldn't have remembered it at all.
"Who is Mr. Orochi?" Angel asked.
Shu Li scratched his hair, frowning in annoyance. "It was the great demon snake that helped me find the direction of the sacred tree... It asked me to say hello to the Elf King. I... I forgot."
What now?
Where does he go to find the Elf King?
The adult fairy asked with understanding, "Do you know the name of the demon snake?"
"I know." Shu Li looked down at the Chinese characters on his notebook. Mr. Snake's name was too long for him to remember immediately, so he wrote the pronunciation of the Chinese characters next to the cartoon snake.
"Bazin Bulgareth." He looked at the adult goblin expectantly. "It's called Bazin Bulgareth. It's a very, very large demon snake with scales as smooth and beautiful as mirrors."
The adult goblin smiled and said, "It's Bazin! I know him."
Shu Li was surprised: "Really?"
The adult goblin stroked his smooth chin. "It's a sixth-level magical beast, quite famous in the Fairy Forest. I've dealt with it before, and it's a... rather enthusiastic demon snake."
No way!
In the Fairy Forest, Bazion was notoriously cold-blooded and stingy. It was incredible to learn that he was so kind as to help a lost fairy cub.
Shu Li nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Yes, yes! Bazin looks scary, but he has a kind heart. Not only did he help me find the direction of the sacred tree, he also gave me a lot of treasures."
To show the number of treasures, he flew around the room.
“There are so many, like a small mountain.”
After landing, he raised his right hand and showed the silver ring on his index finger.
"Luckily I have a storage ring, otherwise I don't know how to move it back."
The little cub sighed.
The adult goblin was stunned.
Is this really the stingy Bazin he knows?
Any creature that passes through its territory must be skinned, otherwise it will never leave safely.
The little cub in front of me is really amazing!
Not only did he receive help from Bazin, but he was also given a bunch of treasures.
"If you need me, I can stop by and give a message to Bazin for you."
"Is it okay?" Shu Li asked happily, "That's great!"
He squatted down, put the storage ring close to the ground, and took out a big stone that was taller than him.
This stone is oval in shape, with a smooth surface and covered with colorful patterns. It is very beautiful.
"Wow, Sperian, how did you get this stone out?" Angel and Discio circled around the stone.
In order to move this stone, the three cubs put in a lot of effort!
Shu Li stood up and said, "I would like to ask Mr. Messenger to give this stone to Bazin as an apology."
He forgot to greet the Elf King on behalf of the big snake, so he should give an apology gift.
The adult goblin stared at the stone with his eyes wide open. After a moment, he asked the young cub, "Are you sure... you want to give it to Bazin?"
How could Bazen have such a great ability to obtain a rare Moonlight Stone?
The Moonstone only appears in the deep pool of the gestational room, and occasionally a fish will push it to the shore.
Generally, goblin cubs are not interested in stones, and since they are so big, they can't move them at all.
However, the cub in front of him, who was blessed by the Elf King, had a unique vision and actually brought the Yuexin Stone out of the gestation room.
Such a precious treasure, how could it be given away cheaply to that stingy demon snake?
Before the little cub could reply, the adult fairy said, "Moonlight Stone is a top-tier alchemical material, capable of increasing the rank of weapons. It wouldn't be very useful for a demon snake."
"Is that so?" Shu Li hesitated. He felt that the snake was so large that a small gift would seem a bit shabby.
The adult goblin nodded seriously.
Little cub, keep the good things for yourself!
"Okay!" Shu Li put away the Yuexin Stone and replaced the apology gift with red crystal flower seeds. Anyway, Mr. Dashe seemed to like them very much.
The adult goblin said nothing more this time, as he took the small bag, placed it in a bark envelope, sealed it with defensive magic, and wrote the name of the demon snake on it.
After finishing all this, he said to the little cub, "You don't have to feel guilty. Midsummer's Day is coming soon, and all the fairies will go to the Crystal City in the Elven Kingdom. The Elf King will be there too, so you can give Bazion his regards."
Shu Li's eyes lit up.
How could he forget that he could still see the Elf King at Midsummer's Day!
"Thank you for the reminder." He curled his eyes and asked happily, "What should I pay you for running errands?"
"It's a piece of cake." The adult fairy waved her hand, "I'll make the trip for you for free!"
The treasures that the cub brought out of the nursery were too valuable. He needed to send a hundred letters to buy one red crystal flower seed.
"How can that be?" Shu Li frowned, "I have to pay!"
He touched the storage ring, searched around, and picked out a sapphire from the items Mr. Orochi gave him.
The sapphire was so large and heavy that he needed to hold it with both hands.
"Wow, what a beautiful stone." The other three cubs poked it with their fingers in amazement.
"It's a gem!" As a rich young man from another world, Shu Li still knows about precious jewels.
Such a large sapphire, pure and translucent, with deep color, would definitely be worth millions if made into jewelry.
It’s a pity that mom is not here, otherwise he would have kept it for her.
Fairies like shiny things, and it would be hard for an adult fairy to refuse such a beautiful sapphire.
The little cub was holding the gem with great difficulty, looking up at him eagerly with its delicate face, and he was so touched by its cuteness that his heart melted.
How could I bear to refuse again?
"Okay!" He coughed lightly and happily accepted the sapphire. "This gem is a down payment. If you have any letters in the future, you can contact me directly."
After a pause, he looked at the other three cubs.
"Including them."
Everyone who comes has a share, so it is not appropriate to favor one over the other.
"Thank you!"
The cubs happily left the messenger station and flew towards home.
By the time they arrived at the small square, the other cubs had been waiting for a long time.
Then, Shu Li also saw the fairy teachers such as Aishasit who taught them.
Huh? What's this?
Shu Li was ashamed.
"Are you back?"
Jingjing Xueba's voice sounded behind him. Shu Li turned around subconsciously and saw that he was holding a steaming teapot in his hand.
"Now that we're back, let's get started!"
Shu Li was confused.
start?
Start what?
Symposium???
