Chapter 031 Please Start Your Performance
In the small square, each fairy cub brought a small stool and sat in neat rows. Elsa and several other adult fairies gathered around a small table filled with fruits and vegetables, chatting leisurely.
Several young elves sat beside the cub, holding quills in their hands and notebooks on their knees, looking like they were ready to take notes at any time.
Seeing Shu Li coming back, the cubs waved excitedly.
"Sperian, come quickly, come quickly——"
Shu Li's mouth twitched.
Could he refuse?
I went to the business district and had a social breakdown once, and now I have to do it again when I come back?
Woo woo woo——
He originally wanted to simply recount what happened last night to satisfy the cubs' curiosity and get rid of the matter.
You know, his Elvish language skills were average. With the help of Jingjing, the top student, he could barely speak it fluently in daily life. But when asked to tell a story—
Sorry, he can't do it!
Especially in front of adult and teenage goblins, it's no different from a public execution!
Shu Li was timid and flapped his wings to run away. However, Jingjing, the top student, was behind him, blocking his way out.
As if seeing through his thoughts, Kumandi said earnestly, "This is a good opportunity to practice speaking. Don't miss it."
"Uh..." Shu Li was stunned.
“The more difficult it is, the more we must break through. Escaping will never solve the problem.” Kumandi flapped his dark purple wings and flew towards the young fairy with the teapot in hand.
Shu Li frowned in confusion, hesitating as he listened to the cubs' expectant calls.
"Sperian, aren't we going over there?" asked Desio.
"They saved seats for us." Angel pointed to the empty bench in the front row.
"There are also small fruits!" Budno noticed that each cub had delicious snacks in his hands.
Shu Li took a deep breath and clenched his fists. "Let's go!"
Isn't it just telling stories in Elvish?
He tried his best!
The four cubs quickly flew to the small square and sat in their corresponding positions.
Shu Li gritted his teeth and sat down on a separate chair in the front row, facing the goblins.
He is just sharing an experience, why should he be so formal?
"Um...Elsa...why are you all here?" Shu Li asked the fairy teacher hesitantly.
If they were not there, the "symposium" would not have been so grand!
Aisha pointed the fairy wand in her hand at the black-haired fairy boy with a smile on her face: "Kumandi said you were going to tell everyone about your adventure in the forest last night. We are very interested, so we all came here."
The other goblin teachers nodded with a smile.
Shu Li turned his resentful gaze towards Jingjing, the top student.
Kumandi remained calm and said, "I think this is a good learning opportunity."
Shu Li held his forehead.
As expected of a top student, he never forgets to study.
It’s just… he doesn’t understand. What’s there to learn from him telling his own adventure story?
Jingjing, the top student, and his classmates all brought notebooks and quills with them in a serious manner.
He glanced at Sit and seriously suspected that he had assigned extra homework to the young goblins?
Sit noticed his suspicious look, and his azure eyes flickered. "Don't worry about your spoken language, Sperian. If you can't express yourself, I'll help you."
Leah, who was sitting next to him, took out her harp and smiled gently: "I'll help you compose the music."
The slender white fingers plucked the strings, and the pleasant BGM sounded.
Each fairy teacher looked at the blond cub kindly, and just said: Please start your performance.
What can Shu Li do?
Of course, he went there ready to die.
Clearing his throat, he stammered out his thrilling experience last night with his limited vocabulary.
Let’s start by picking fruits.
"...We discovered a pear-shaped fruit growing near the safe zone. It was particularly tempting, so we couldn't help but fly over to try it."
"Is it delicious?" asked the cub sitting in the front row.
"It smells great, it must be delicious!" Budno said immediately, "It's so big!"
Shu Li silently took out four pear-shaped fruits from the storage ring, lined them up in a row and placed them on the ground. The cubs stared at them in amazement.
"Wow! Sperian, how come you have fruit?" Budno rushed forward, hugged a fruit, put it close to his nose and sniffed it, his mouth watering. "It smells so good, so good~~~~~~~"
Doshia and Aisha exchanged a look.
The Secken bird snatched the fruit branch and actually resisted eating it?
Although Sperion had returned, they knew nothing about his experiences in the Fairy Forest. The Elf King had sent him back to the sacred tree without sharing any details, so it was inconvenient to ask.
When they learned that Sperian was going to tell the cubs about his experience last night, they immediately rushed over to listen.
The cubs are the future of the fairy tribe, and each one is very precious. They have the responsibility and obligation to take care of them so that they can grow up healthy and strong.
"Sperian, was your fruit given to you by the big silly bird?" Angel asked.
"Of course not!" Shu Li shook her head indignantly. "The bird's claws got caught on my clothes and carried me up into the sky... I was so scared! There was nothing I could do except hold on to a... a leaf!"
He described in detail the process of being lifted into the air. Although some of the words he used were not accurate, he clearly conveyed the helplessness and fear he felt at the time.
The cubs felt the same way and exclaimed in surprise. The timid ones hugged each other to comfort each other.
They couldn't imagine how terrifying it was to be carried thousands of meters high by a giant bird, holding only a leaf that could be blown away by the wind at any time.
Kumandi was listening and taking notes. When he heard that the little cub was surviving on only a leaf, he gripped the pen harder and paused. Then he turned to ask the adult goblin.
"Doxia, did you find out the name of that Secken bird?"
Dorthea sneered, "This Sek'n bird is called Deklet, a seventh-level magical beast, and is very famous in the Fairy Forest."
Kumandi frowned and scribbled on his notebook, drawing a realistic picture of the Sekhen bird and labeling its name.
Sit asked Aisha: "Where's Chris?"
Elsa said, "We left the forest early in the morning."
Sit said, "Oh!" "No wonder I haven't seen him all day—where did he go first?"
Ores elegantly pinched a small, delicate red fruit. "It's said to be from the Monster Forest in the north."
Sit understood.
The Sek'n bird took Sperion away, and the goblins immediately tried to find its nest in the goblin forest, but unfortunately they found nothing.
Later, I looked for its temporary nests in several other places, but found nothing.
So they guessed that the Sek'en bird discovered that it had accidentally taken away the fairy cub and ran away out of guilt.
Where to escape?
No need to guess, it's nothing but the Warcraft Forest.
Unfortunately, it miscalculated. The goblins would never show mercy to the culprits who harmed their cubs.
Chris's first stop when he went out for training was the Warcraft Forest, to settle the score with it.
It’s harmless to steal fruits at ordinary times, so just drive them away.
Yesterday, he stole the cub and not only did not return it but also abandoned it in the forest. This is simply unforgivable!
Shu Li didn't know that the big silly bird was being targeted by Chris. He had already talked about how he woke up in a daze on the giant tree and found the fruit branches still intact and a furry squirrel mother.
"Wow, squirrel! Doesn't it look cute?" the cubs asked curiously.
Shu Li scratched his head and said awkwardly, "It's cute, but I was so scared at the time that I pulled out a dagger and pointed it at it."
"Did you fight?" Desio asked nervously, "Did you win?"
"No, no." Shu Li took out the dagger hanging from his waist and said regretfully, "This... is just a decoration. It can't be used against animals larger than us."
All the fairy weapons are miniature, with exquisite shapes and zero lethality.
"No!" Aisha stood up, flew lightly to Shu Li, and stretched out her hand to him.
Shu Li was stunned for a moment and handed the dagger to her.
Elsa flew up about two meters, lowered her head and said to the little cub below: "Fairy weapons are never decorations."
She raised the dagger high and chanted solemnly and respectfully: "Great God of Light, Ryan Freys, please grant me the power of origin——"
As the spell fell, the silver-haired and silver-eyed Fairy Godmother's whole body burst into dazzling light.
The cubs all covered their eyes, but Shu Li was the only one who looked up at Elsa without blinking, risking injury to his eyes.
His little heart was beating fast and he was extremely excited.
Yesterday, I was surprised to see Chris grow from a miniature man to a large size. If he hadn't been taken away by the big silly bird, he would have wanted to ask about the principle of growing bigger.
Today, he saw Elsa's body changing after she finished chanting the spell. He couldn't take his eyes off her and wanted to record the whole process of her transformation.
Unfortunately, he didn't have a cell phone.
The light was too dazzling and Shu Li's eyes could not bear it, so he had to raise his hand to block it.
When the light disappeared, an enlarged version of Elsa appeared in the air, and the dagger in her hand was also enlarged dozens of times.
All the cubs were stunned.
The young fairies were relatively calm because they knew from the first day they learned magic that fairies could change their size freely after obtaining the original power of the God of Light.
Elsa flew to the side, keeping some distance from the branch where the small square was located, and dropped a meter to give the cubs a better view of the dagger in her hand.
To the cubs, the magnified Elsa looked like a giant. Although her facial features were familiar, they were inexplicably awed.
Shu Li stared at the enlarged dagger with bright green eyes.
It turned out that the owner of the weapons shop had not fooled him, this was a high-level weapon.
Elsa slowly pulled out the dagger, and the snow-white blade shone brightly under the sunlight.
Shu Li widened his eyes and vaguely saw a complex magic pattern flash across the blade.
"This is an eighth-tier weapon." Aisha smiled at Shu Li. "It seems the owner of the weapon shop has sold you his best weapon."
In Austin Continent, the highest tier weapon is the ninth tier. However, only a handful of people can wield it. The average person can dominate a region with just an eighth tier weapon.
Although the dwarves are proficient in forging, it may take a lifetime of hard work to create a ninth-level weapon.
The rarity of the material alone is something you can only come across by chance.
Goblins and elves are multi-talented, skilled in languages, art, magic, and even forging. Unable to tolerate prolonged contact with a forge, which would leave them covered in sweat and stench, most goblins and elves choose to bring their own materials and have their weapons custom-made by the dwarves.
This dagger of Sperian's is so exquisitely crafted and ornate that it was obviously made by a goblin.
Only when forging with fairies will some unnecessary ornaments be added.
The dagger's sheath is so beautiful and inlaid with many valuable gems. No wonder the little cub regards it as an ornament.
Of course, before the transformation, it is indeed only for viewing.
Shu Li was dumbfounded after listening to Aisha's introduction.
ha?
It turns out that his dagger is a rare eighth-level weapon?
Isn't the owner of the weapons shop afraid of getting a loss by selling him such an expensive dagger?
Elsa sheathed the dagger and looked at the shocked cub. "Don't worry about him getting hurt. The item you exchanged with him came from the gestational room and is worth more than that."
Having his thoughts guessed, Shu Li rubbed his face in embarrassment.
The other cubs who had also bought daggers took them from their waists and asked excitedly, "Elsa, Elsa, is mine also level eight?"
Aisha looked down and shook her head: "Yours is level seven."
Even though fairies and elves are long-lived, it takes at least fifty years to forge an eighth-tier weapon. The weapon shop owner is only over five hundred years old, so it's impossible for him to forge so many eighth-tier daggers.
"Oh~~~~" The cubs were a little disappointed.
Aisha comforted: "Level seven is also good."
When the cubs heard this, their mood immediately turned from gloomy to cheerful and they were all very happy.
Shu Li calmed down, looked up and asked, "Elsa, why... can fairies grow bigger?"
"Yes, yes, why?" Dizio agreed.
"Chris got really big yesterday too," Angel said.
"When I grow bigger, I can fight the big stupid bird." Budno's eyes were starry, completely forgetting that he was scared and cried yesterday.
“Zheng——”
A tight melody rang out, and the cubs were startled. They all turned back at the same time and looked at Sit who was holding the harp.
At some point, Leah stopped playing the piano.
"Let me answer this question!" Sit's bony fingers plucked the strings and he chanted the ancient legend in a low and magnetic voice.
"When the first pure flower bloomed in early spring, the first batch of fairies were born with the blessing of the God of Light. Fairies were extremely small, with thin wings on their backs, completely different from the tall elves. So, the fairies prayed to the God of Light—"
"Oh, great God of Light, Lyant Freys, please grant us the ability to change our shapes! We will praise you and follow you forever!"
"The God of Light responded, 'My lovely children, if you pick the ice crystal flowers on the top of the snowy mountain, I will grant you the source of light.'"
In order to become true children of light like the elves, the weak little fairies went through untold hardships, climbed to the top of the snow-capped mountains, and found the unique ice crystal flower.
The moment the fairies' fingers touched the ice crystal flowers, the God of Light descended and bestowed upon them the source of light.
From then on, the goblin gained the ability to change its shape.
After hearing the legend, the cubs were full of energy and yearning.
"Sit, Sit, will we all grow bigger?" Angel asked impatiently.
"You're not good enough yet." Sit stopped playing the piano and raised his finger. "Only by raising your magic level can you unleash your original power!"
Shu Li asked, "What level do we need to upgrade to?"
Sit blinked: "After becoming a high-level magician."
Shu Li tilted his head and asked hesitantly, "What level is a high-level magician?"
Two minutes later, he saw a diagram of the magic levels.
The ranks of magicians are as follows: magician apprentice - apprentice magician - magician - mage - archmage - magic saint - magic god.
Each level has nine levels.
The nine levels are divided into elementary (1-3), intermediate (4-6), and advanced (7-9) according to strength.
In other words, if you want to become a high-level magician, you must start from the first-level magician apprentice and reach at least level 25.
Shu Li: ...
