Chapter 062 Return the Eggs to the Mother Bird
Mr. Orochi can be said to be Shu Li's pen pal who exchange gifts with each other in another world.
During these five years, he received many gifts, some of which he had no idea what they were for. For example, these five large bird eggs were received half a year ago and had been kept in his storage ring without being touched.
The Ancient Ota Ring is a high-end storage ring with a preservation function. The bird eggs have been stored for such a long time and none of them have gone bad.
Fairies usually eat some unfertilized bird eggs, along with fruits and vegetables, to supplement their nutrition.
Shu Li thought these were unfertilized bird eggs, so she didn't take them seriously and kept them in her storage ring for the time being.
Because the egg was too big, he couldn't finish it all by himself, so he thought of donating the egg to the next Midsummer Festival as food at a banquet for goblins and elves to taste.
Now that he learned that these five giant eggs were from the Sek'en bird, he was stunned.
The Secken bird named Deklet abandoned him and ran away five years ago. He never returned to the Fairy Forest again, and his fellow Secken birds living in the forest were affected by his bad behavior and had to live their lives in fear.
Since the crime is not committed by the same kind, the goblins will naturally not cause trouble for other Sek'en birds.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Orochi secretly stole the eggs of other Sekhen birds to help him "avenge".
Shu Li was a little amused and helpless.
Although Warcraft is intelligent, its brain circuits are different.
Every wrong has its perpetrator, and if you really want revenge, you have to find the big silly bird, because its fellow bird is innocent!
Fortunately, the Elf King reminded them, otherwise these eggs would have become scapegoats.
The young dragon could not understand the elven language and was prevented from eating. It was very anxious and kept flapping its wings and making anxious "wow" sounds from time to time.
It's hungry!
It wants to eat!
Should we give the dragon eggs to eat?
The two little mermaids also swung their tails to drive the water ball forward, making childish sounds and glancing at Ivy from time to time, as if asking whether the egg could be eaten.
Ivy, with a headache, comforted the three cubs in Dragon Language and Mermaid Language, telling them that these giant eggs could not be eaten for the time being.
The little elves landed lightly on the eggs, stepped on them curiously, used the smooth eggshells as slides, and had a lot of fun.
Budno lay on the bird eggs, his brown eyes sparkling. He swallowed and looked greedy.
Is this the egg of the Secken bird?
It looks delicious!
One is enough for him to eat for several meals.
"Can these eggs hatch into baby birds?" Angel patted the eggshells with his little hands and asked the adult fairy with his head tilted up.
Shu Li was startled and immediately looked at the Elf King.
Bird eggs are divided into fertilized and unfertilized.
The fertilized ones can hatch into chicks and are not edible.
Unfertilized eggs cannot hatch chicks, so it's okay to eat them.
When selecting bird eggs, fairies pay special attention to the fertilization of the eggs.
When Mr. Orochi gave him the giant eggs, he subconsciously thought they were unfertilized bird eggs, so he classified them as food and gave them to the little mermaid and the young dragon.
However, the Elf King stopped the dragon from taking food and specifically pointed out the type of bird eggs, so Shu Li was unsure.
Are these giant eggs fertilized bird eggs?
"Let me take a look—" Ilio lifted his robe and half-knelt to check. He pressed his palm on the eggshell, releasing magic power and sensing the situation inside the egg.
The goblins sat in a row on the eggs, looking at him expectantly.
The young dragon and the little mermaid were also waiting obediently by the side.
After a while, Ilio loosened his grip and, meeting the bright eyes of the little mermaid and the young dragon, he spoke in their native languages, "I'm sorry, but you can't eat these eggs."
These are the eggs of high-level Sekhen birds. The chicks are at level three when they are born. It would be a pity to eat them.
“Ahhh!”
“Chirp~Chirp~”
The young dragon and the little mermaid both cried in panic, their eyes instantly becoming wet.
Elio hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I'll catch some fish for you later."
When the young dragon and the little mermaid heard that there was fish to eat, they immediately became quiet.
Fish are obviously more attractive to them than eggs.
Shu Li didn't understand their conversation and tugged at Ilio's robe.
Ilio looked down at him. "These eggs will hatch into third-level chicks."
"Ah!" Shu Li scratched the back of his head. "Then...then how worried must their mother be if she loses her eggs?"
Once lost, it will be lost for half a year.
Although he knew that Mr. Big Snake was helping him to take revenge, he wanted to avoid bringing disaster to his own tribe, so he had to find a way to return the bird eggs to their mother.
Ilio said, "When you get back, you can ask the friend who gave you the egg where he 'picked' it up, and find a way to return it to its rightful owner as soon as possible."
Shu Li nodded heavily: "Yes! I will!"
As soon as he finishes his work here, he will write to Mr. Orochi as soon as possible.
He didn't think that Mr. Big Snake would be so bad as to steal the eggs of the Sek'en bird. There must be some hidden reason behind it.
After staying in the bottom cabin for too long, they felt a bit stuffy. The little mermaid and the baby dragon were very hungry, so everyone left the pirate ship and returned to the beach.
At this time, dawn has arrived, the sky is slightly white, the sea is calm, and the sky is full of colorful clouds.
Ilio kept his promise and caught a dozen common fish, each half an arm's length, for the young dragon and the mermaid to eat.
Although the little mermaid was young, she ate the fish very quickly.
They have sharp teeth and nails, and can easily remove the fish's heads, guts, and bones, picking out the tenderest meat and eating it with relish.
The young dragon was not as particular as them. He opened his big mouth and swallowed one in one bite. He chewed it two or three times and swallowed it with a "gulp". He licked the corner of his mouth with satisfaction.
The little goblins had been frightened the whole night, and now seeing how happily they were eating, their stomachs began to growl.
However, they didn't have time to eat and went to the amethyst tree first.
When the morning sun shines on the top of the Amethyst Tree, it is the best time to pray for the branches.
The adult goblins brought the little goblins back to the amethyst tree in a hurry.
The amethyst tree is dazzling under the morning sun. Every branch is crystal clear, and the dew condenses into drops, like round pearls.
“Wow~~~~”
The goblins looked up at the amethyst tree and exclaimed in amazement.
Shuli asked Kumandi, "How should we pray to the Amethyst Tree?"
Kumandi flew to the amethyst tree and sat cross-legged. "Meditation."
Enter a meditative state and communicate with the Amethyst Tree with your heart. When the prayer is sincere enough, the Amethyst Tree will respond.
The goblins took action immediately, sitting down under the amethyst tree one by one, closing their eyes, clearing their minds, emptying their heads, and entering a meditative state.
Shu Li's senses became sharp instantly. He smelled the fragrance of the morning grass, heard the sound of waves hitting the beach, and the noisy chirping of birds in the branches.
Sounds big and small come together, bringing a vibrant morning to the Fairy Forest.
Shu Li's consciousness slowly merged with nature, sensing no movement. Following the method taught by Jingjing, he tried to greet the tree behind him with his mind.
"Hi, hello, Amethyst Tree. I am Sperion of the Fairy Forest."
After waiting for a long time, there was no response from the Amethyst Tree.
Shu Li was not discouraged and continued to speak in his heart: "I need a magic wand. I wonder if you can give me a branch?"
I thought the Amethyst Tree would remain silent, but then an ethereal voice rang out.
"Little one, your magic fluctuations are very weak. You don't need a magic wand yet."
Shu Li was stunned and very excited.
The amethyst tree responded to him!
Very good!
Shu Li said sincerely: "Yes, you are right. I am still just a magic apprentice who can't even recite a spell properly."
The disembodied voice said, "Then you should wait until you have mastered magic before coming back."
Shu Li was silent for a moment, then answered firmly: "I know I'm weak, but I want to become stronger as soon as possible!"
The scene of the dark elf pinching his head emerged in his mind, and he couldn't help but shudder.
Meditation increased the clarity of the image. The dark elf's hideous and bloodthirsty face stimulated his nerves and amplified his fear of death.
Shu Li's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his consciousness almost left the state of meditation. However, his determination to become stronger allowed him to withstand the pressure and bravely look directly at the evil dark elf.
The more afraid he is, the more he must overcome it, otherwise, this scene will become a nightmare for his whole life.
Only by crossing this hurdle can we go further.
The turbulent meditation world gradually returned to calm, and Shu Li frankly expressed his wishes to the amethyst tree.
"I want to become strong, very strong, to protect my friends and my home."
The Fairy Forest was his home in this other world. The elves and fairies had given him a harmonious and beautiful environment to grow up in. He never wanted to experience a situation as bad as today again.
Because we are weak, we are powerless when we encounter danger. Because we are weak, we are helpless when we are threatened by bad guys.
That feeling of being at the mercy of others is terrible.
"Although I am weak now, I will become powerful one day. Amethyst tree, I need your branches. I will whip myself to keep moving forward, striving to use a high-level magic wand as soon as possible."
The little goblin's childish voice was sonorous and powerful, revealing incomparable determination.
After saying what he wanted to say, Shu Li waited quietly.
No matter what the outcome is, he accepts it calmly.
If you fail this time, try again.
One day, the Amethyst Tree will recognize him and grant him higher branches.
Xier and the others are over a hundred years old and are adults, but they still have to pray every once in a while!
He is only five years old now. It is normal for him to fail when praying for the first time.
Shu Li waited calmly for the Amethyst Tree to announce the result.
After a while, a disembodied voice rang out. "The forest at night is full of dangers. You and your friends are very brave, fearless of being pursued and killed by invaders. You are not weak, Sperian."
"It's an honor to meet you, little elf blessed by the Elf King."
"I will grant you the highest grade of branches. May you become a strong man soon!"
Shu Li only felt a purple light flashing in front of his eyes. Before he could react, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. His consciousness suddenly broke away from meditation and returned to reality.
"Ah?" He opened his eyes in surprise and saw a amethyst-like branch.
The branch was facing him vertically, with the cylindrical root only 5 cm away from his face. If he moved any further back, his head would explode.
Amethyst Tree's "throwing" technique is quite accurate!
However, now is not the time to think about this.
The first time he prayed, he actually got a high-level branch.
Shu Li suddenly flew up, cheered and pounced on the branches, extremely excited.
Wow wow wow, he did it! He did it!
The blonde elf lay on the two-meter-long purple branch like a koala, rubbing against it happily.
The fairies watching from all sides: ...
Should I tell the little one that everyone is watching?
Anna winked at Ivy.
Forget it, let’s not remind you.
The little guy got the best branch on his first prayer, let him be happy for a while!
Good things come in pairs. Kumandi also obtained a top-quality branch, while the branches of the other three little guys were slightly lower in quality, but they were also rare species.
Shu Li lay on the branch and rubbed it for a long time. He always felt that someone was looking at him. He stopped and looked up in confusion.
"Well!"
His eyes widened, and he froze in embarrassment.
The three little friends held their cheeks and squatted on the branches they had obtained, looking at him with bright eyes.
Kumandi spread his wings, hovering in the air, with a slight smile on his face.
Three adult goblins surrounded him leisurely, smiling warmly.
What made Shu Li feel even more socially devastated was that the Elf King was riding a unicorn and stopped on the grass ten meters away.
He could guarantee that the Elf King had seen all of his stupidity.
Ahhhh——
Why didn't the goblin remind him?
Shu Li really wanted to turn into an earthworm, burrow into the soil and be buried!
Half an hour later, the little goblin, who had eaten and drunk his fill, followed the adult goblin and set out on the journey back to the sacred tree.
The Elf King and Ilio took the young dragon and the little mermaid back to the Elf Kingdom.
The little fairies were reluctant to leave their newfound children, but the sacred tree was not suitable for them to live in, so they had to ask the Elf King to take them back to the Crystal City and wait for their families to come and claim them.
Before leaving, Shu Li flew to the Elf King and said to him earnestly, "King, I want to learn magic from you."
The Elf King looked at the serious-looking elf tenderly and nodded, "Okay."
So, Shu Li made an agreement with him to go to the Elf Kingdom to study every two weeks.
When your faith is firm, your heart will be filled with hope.
The journey seemed long when we came, but it was surprisingly fast when we returned.
Before the sun set, they returned safely to the sacred tree.
