Chapter 082 Sharing Things with Mr. Orochi
A few years ago, Shu Li once asked Mr. Orochi why he didn't move away from the edge of the Fairy Forest, where there were often foreign invaders and it was very dangerous.
Mr. Orochi’s answer at that time was that he was used to it and didn’t want to move.
Later, when Shu Li saw Mr. Da She picking up the bargain, he understood.
As the saying goes, live by the mountain, eat from the mountain; live by the water, eat from the water; live by the forest... eat from the forest.
Don’t miss out on these “supplies” that are delivered to your door.
Looking at the pile of things "picked up" from the invaders, Shu Li scratched the back of his head and accepted Mr. Orochi's invitation.
He had no use for the equipment, and the items in his storage bag were all mixed up, with gold coins accounting for two-thirds of the total.
The demon snake didn't need gold coins, so it gave them all to Shu Li.
Shu Li accepted it reluctantly.
Dragon King Harmon gave him a lot of gold coins, which were all placed in the storage ring, piling up like a mountain. A few more gold coins wouldn't make much, and a few less wouldn't make much either.
In addition to gold coins, Shu Li also took potions and magic scrolls for study and research.
Each member of the adventure team had a map. Shu Li was very interested and accepted it.
As the times changed, geography also changed accordingly. The replacement of large and small countries was shown on the map, which helped him understand the outside world.
In one of the storage bags was a thick notebook, which recorded in detail the customs and folkways of various countries and the living habits of major races in the common language of the mainland. It was simply an encyclopedia of traveling around the mainland, and Shu Li couldn't put it down.
The Fairy Forest is great, but its only drawback is that it is isolated and not well-informed.
Even if a fairy goes out to gain experience, it will take a long time for it to come back.
For example, Chris, who left the forest ten years ago, has not returned and there is no news of him.
After distributing the items, Shu Li pointed at the three bodies under the tree. "What... are they going to do?"
Even though they were invaders and deserved to die, since we picked up their belongings, out of humanitarianism, we should at least help collect their bodies, right?
"Don't worry about it." The demon snake said lazily, "The elves patrolling the forest will take care of it."
"Uh——" Shu Li was stunned.
As if to verify the words of the demon snake, the sound of flapping wings came from overhead, and soon, a familiar silver-haired elf riding a unicorn landed on the grass.
Seeing the corpse on the ground, he did not take action immediately, but looked up at the magic snake on the giant tree, and... the little goblin standing on the magic snake's head.
"Gallot!" Shu Li's eyes lit up, he spread his wings, flew down from the demon snake's head quickly, and came in front of the silver-haired elf.
A hint of surprise flashed in Garrot's golden eyes, and he asked curiously: "Little Sperian, why are you here?"
He glanced at the demonic snake wrapped around the giant tree.
The demon snake raised its head and stuck out its tongue, with a lukewarm attitude, which was considered a greeting.
"I'm here to give Bazin a gift." Shu Li asked with a smile, "Are you patrolling the forest today?"
"Wrong," Garrot corrected, "From today on, for the next month, I will be the one patrolling the forest."
"Oh - that -" Shu Li pointed at the three bodies on the ground, "How did they deal with them?"
Garrot looked at the bodies and noticed something was missing from them. He raised an eyebrow but didn't point it out. "Throw it outside the forest."
Shu Li was surprised: "Aren't you going to help bury the body?"
"No need," Garrot said, "They prefer to be buried in human territory rather than in the forest."
Over the past ten thousand years, countless adventure teams have trespassed into the Fairy Forest. If they all helped to bury the bodies of the nine-layered monsters who killed each other due to the influence of the fog, the ground under the forest would be full of corpses.
The correct approach, of course, is to throw the body out of the forest and let the professional "corpse-picking" mercenaries take it away.
As for where they take it, it is not their business.
After hearing this, Shu Li asked no more questions. He just saw Garlot recite a short magic spell and skillfully waved his magic wand. The three corpses were wrapped in a gust of wind and flew away quickly.
Garrot chanted another spell, and a small waterfall appeared out of thin air, washing away the bloodstains on the grass. After a while, the blood seeped into the soil and disappeared without a trace.
It’s...really convenient.
Shu Li sighed.
After doing this, Garrott waved to the elf with a smile, rode on the unicorn, and flew away to patrol somewhere else.
Watching him go away, Shu Li also said goodbye to Mr. Orochi.
It was almost noon, and he had to set off for the Elf Kingdom. If he hurried, he might be able to catch lunch.
He returned to the giant tree and was carried to the crown by the magic snake. He put his fingers in his mouth and blew, and the whistle sounded, summoning Dolei.
Dolei, who had eaten his fill, flew over from nearby like lightning, avoided the demon snake, and landed on another branch, instinctively remaining alert.
Shu Li moved from the demon snake's head to Dore's back, waved goodbye again, buried himself in Dore's feathers, and cast a safe protective shield for himself.
Dore waited for him to sit firmly, then couldn't wait to spread his wings and fly into the sky like a rocket.
The journey from the east side of the Fairy Forest to the Elf Kingdom is very long. Even for the Sekhen bird, known for its swiftness of wind, it takes two hours to fly.
More than an hour later, they left the Fairy Forest and entered the Yager Forest of the Elf Kingdom. Shuli asked Dore to land and rest for a while.
Dore squatted on the branch of a big tree. Shu Li flapped his little wings, landed on the grass, took out a mini shovel, and dug a kind of purple grass.
This is his quest item.
As a ten-year-old fairy boy, he is already a veteran in completing tasks.
Taking on some simple collection tasks on a daily basis will help increase your knowledge.
This purple grass is called Thunder Flame Grass. It is the main ingredient of an antidote and only grows in the Yager Forest in the Elf Kingdom.
Shu Li would pass through Yager Forest every month, so he took on this collection task.
The Thunder Flame Grass grows very large, up to forty centimeters high, with a well-developed root system, making it very difficult for the little goblin to dig it up.
The first time Shu Li dug, it took him two hours to dig up three plants, so his efficiency was worrying.
As he grew older, he accumulated experience in collecting and finally became proficient in it.
He first inserted the shovel into the soil, then kicked it with his feet to make the shovel go deeper. Then he pressed the handle hard to expose part of the roots of the Thunder Flame Grass. Then he took out the magic wand and chanted an earth spell.
When the spell ended, the soil around the Thunder Flame Grass was turned over, and the entire root system was pushed out from the bottom.
A complete grass is collected successfully.
Shu Li grabbed the grass, shook off the mud on the roots, and put it into the storage ring.
After digging up one blade of grass, he continued with the second one. He had dug a total of twenty blades of grass. Then he put away his magic wand and shovel, clapped his hands, and said he was done.
Sitting back on Duo Lei's back, Shu Li continued on his way.
After resting, Dore was full of energy and flew to the Crystal Castle in one breath.
When the elves saw the black Secken bird, they knew that the cute little elf had returned.
"Sperian, you're a little late today!"
"Lucky, just in time for lunch."
"Are you hungry? Let's go to the restaurant and eat!"
"Hey, our little magician is back. The orchard has a new batch of ripe fruits. Do you want to come and pick them together this afternoon?"
Faced with the enthusiastic elves, Shu Li responded calmly and flew to the restaurant as if he was familiar with the route.
The restaurant was full of elves dining there. When they saw him, they all waved and beckoned him over.
Shu Li calmly declined each one, and when she saw Sai Ya, she decisively sat at the table where she was.
Just kidding, most of the elves that greeted him had "bad intentions", so if he foolishly went over, he would just be ready to be RUA!
"Good afternoon, little Sperian, are you hungry?" Saya considerately prepared lunch for him.
"Thank you." Shu Li smiled.
Suppressing the urge to pet the goblin, Saiya picked up a piece of bread and bit into it fiercely.
Little Sperian is getting more and more exquisite. She looks especially cute today, with her ponytail swinging back and forth, looking very lively.
Shu Li was completely unaware of Saiya's restless heart. After washing his hands in a plate, he picked up a fruit and started to eat it.
He eats more politely now and chews his food slowly no matter how hungry he is.
After staying in the other world for a long time, he was unconsciously influenced by the elves and fairies, and corrected some of his minor bad habits, and his every move became elegant.
After finishing his meal, he wiped the corners of his mouth contentedly, left the restaurant and headed to the orchard outside the city.
Now he would find something to do without the Elf King's orders.
He came to the several plots of land where he was responsible for collecting, took out his magic wand and basket, and began to practice magic.
His silent magic has only succeeded in one purification spell so far.
From low level to intermediate level.
All other magic will fail.
He was not discouraged.
Failure is the mother of success. As long as you work hard, you will succeed one day.
What's more, silent magic is a special skill that only those at the level of Mage Saint and Mage God can use. At his current level, he is already gifted to succeed in one.
[Great Wind God Wentis Inol, please command the wind element to gather around me and bring me the small wind blade that can cut the fruit stems.]
The advantage of becoming an intermediate magician is that you don't have to introduce yourself to the gods, and you can shorten the prefix of your spells a little.
As expected, the wind-based silent magic failed again.
Shu Li continued to recite silently.
After failing four times in a row, he took a break and landed on a curved vine. He leaned back and used the vine as a hammock.
What is missing?
Is it really a level difference?
But why was his purification technique successful when he was a magic apprentice?
After improving my proficiency, I can now hit the target every time.
It doesn't make sense that if the purification technique succeeds, the others won't.
The gentle breeze made the vines sway from side to side like a cradle. Shu Li couldn't help but yawn and felt drowsy.
"Hey, little Sperian, it's not good to be lazy, okay?"
Hearing Ilio's teasing voice, Shu Li's sleepiness disappeared, and she flapped her wings and left the vine hammock.
"I'm not being lazy, I'm thinking," he defended seriously.
"Thinking about silent magic?" Ilio asked with a smile on his face, folding his arms and leaning against a tree in a handsome manner.
"Of course." Shu Li raised her chin confidently, refusing to admit the fact that she almost fell asleep.
Ilio's bright blue eyes examined Shu Li. "What have you been thinking about? Tell me, and I'll give you some advice."
Has he not referred to it enough times?
Shu Li puffed out his cheeks.
It’s good that I didn’t get dragged into the ditch.
"No." He shook his head and refused.
Ilio curled his lips, walked to Shu Li, raised his arm, and pointed his palm at a fruit tree. In a moment, the ripe fruits on the tree were cut off by countless wind blades and fell into the basket one by one.
Veins popped out of Shu Li's forehead, and he said expressionlessly, "This is the garden I'm responsible for!"
Ilio is the youngest of the Mage Elfs and can certainly perform silent magic successfully.
Even though the cute little elf glared at her, the dark-haired elf still smiled. "You have to change your mindset sometimes."
Shu Li tilted his head: "Change your thinking?"
In the past five years, he has tried many different approaches and searched for a lot of information in the library, but to no avail. What can he do?
Elio blinked. "Let me pinch your little cheek and I'll show you how."
Shu Li quickly stepped back, covering her still slightly chubby face. "Don't even think about it!"
Sure enough, his intention was not pure. Humph, he would not be fooled.
"Okay—" Seeing the little goblin avoiding him like a poisonous snake or a ferocious beast, Ilio spread his hands sadly.
Shu Li hummed twice, trying not to win his sympathy.
Want to RUA him? No way!
Elio laughed and stopped teasing the little guy. He coughed twice and said, "Have you heard of the essence of the five elements?"
"The essence of the five elements?" Shu Li shook his head blankly. "I've never heard of it."
Ilio took out a harp from his storage ring, sat down on the ground, and waved to Shu Li.
Shu Li hesitated for a moment, then slowly approached him and sat on a nearby vine.
Ilio's slender fingers plucked the strings, playing a melody that Shu Li was familiar with, and he couldn't help but sing.
"The spirit of water, the spirit of fire, the spirit of wood, the spirit of wind, the spirit of earth
Elemental elves from ancient times
Please open the door of time and space
Take us to the beautiful era when the gods gather together
God of Creation Ishfu Haya
Ryan Freyce, God of Light
Alfama Chips, God of Fire
Hildani Geti, the Water God
Wind God Wendis Inol
Oroman Paz, God of Wood
Hedphis Loverne, God of the Earth
Meterlena, the Moon Goddess
Asad Mighat, God of the Sun
We sang and danced, praising the gods..."
After the song was finished, he asked in confusion, "What's the connection between the elemental essence you mentioned and the Song of Creation?"
Ilio put down his harp and asked with a smile, "Sing the first line again."
"The first line... the spirits of water, fire, wood, wind, and earth, the elemental elves from ancient times..." Ilio interrupted Shu Li before he finished singing.
"The answer is in the first sentence."
Shu Li suddenly understood. "You mean, the water and fire essences in the song are the essences of the five elements?"
"That's right," Ilio said. "As long as you get the elemental essence, you can make up for your lack of level."
Shu Li stared at his handsome face in surprise for a long moment, her green eyes sparkling. "Where are they?"
