Chapter 014 [Grimm's Travels] and [Witch Rowling]



The first day of the new year, 1005 of the Shenghui calendar.

Ever since the Rock Bear Knight and Frostwolf Knight were attacked, reports of evil spirit attacks have been heard from time to time in various places, but it is unknown whether they are true or not.

In response to the recent frequent attacks by evil spirits in various places, the Holy Light Church claimed that a bishop of the church had developed a holy water that was extremely effective against [evil spirits]: "Holy Light No. 1".

You only need to take it once every seven days, one bottle at a time, and after a month you will be immune to all evil.

Once the holy water was released, it was priced at ten gold coins per bottle. The first batch of 3,000 bottles of the medicine were sold out in a week, and it achieved an astonishing... zero negative reviews.

Regarding this behavior, Levi said that the nobles in this world are so easy to deceive.

But it is understandable that I come from the modern world and naturally do not understand these people's fanatical belief in the church.

"Since that incident, the probability of this evil spirit appearing has become higher and higher."

"Wizard, wizard, how can I find the wizard's trace?"

Levi was looking for some books made of parchment in his father's study. So far, there was no papermaking or printing technology in this world.

So, even in an aristocratic family like my father's, the collection of books at home is very limited.

In the end, nothing was gained.

Knight Fred hurried to the study and said to Levi with excitement: "Master, I brought you a birthday present that you can never imagine."

Levi was curious about what could make the extremely calm Knight Fred so excited. He saw Knight Fred ordering his men to push a cage on wheels covered with a curtain.

Knight Fred lifted the curtain and saw three furry guys huddled in the corner.

"Bear?" Levi looked strange.

In front of him were three bears the size of calves.

Why did Knight Fred give me three bears?

"Master, this is not an ordinary bear. This is the cub of a northern giant bear."

"What? The Giant Bear of the North?" Levi was surprised.

He had heard of this thing. It was a beast that could become a formal knight after it grew up.

"Last night, a farmer discovered that something had sneaked into her yard in the middle of the night and ate her chickens. Then she found this little guy. The little guy tried to run away, but was encountered by the militiamen who were patrolling at night. Even though it was still a baby, it took a lot of effort to catch it."

Knight Fred picked out one of the black and white bears and grabbed its neck. The bear tried to attack Fred with its teeth and claws, but to no avail.

There are still some chicken feathers left around the mouth of this little bear. It is hard to imagine that such a small guy will become the notorious giant bear in the north in the future.

The other two cubs whimpered, apparently worried about their brother.

These three little bears are not fat. Compared to their size, they are quite skinny.

It can be seen that they have been hungry for a long time. If they had not been discovered by Knight Fred, they would have starved to death in a few days.

"Where is their mother? I hope she won't follow the scent of the cubs to cause trouble for us." Levi was a little worried. He was no match for the giant bear of the north now.

"Don't worry, it looks like their mother has died or abandoned them a long time ago. Normally this is the hibernation period for bears. If they don't stay in the cave at this time, it means that their mother has had an accident."

"If the cubs of these northern giant bears were sold on the black market, each would be worth more than a hundred gold coins. Many princes and nobles want to tame these beasts from a young age, and when they grow up, they will have a powerful knight-level pet."

"But I suggest we raise them ourselves. Northern giant bear cubs are rare, but they are more expensive to feed."

Knight Fred was in a good mood and tried his best to persuade Levi to keep the three little bears.

"Okay, let's keep them. Put them in the castle first and assign some people to take good care of them." Levi came to the three little bears, looked at them carefully, and said, "This gray one will be called Little Gray, the white one will be called Little White, and this mixed-hair one will be called... Little Fatty, because it's the fattest."

Levi asked his servants to take good care of the little bears. These little guys would need at least seven years to be useful, and it was not known whether they could be kept alive since they were wild. Therefore, he could not pin his hopes on these external things. Improving his own strength was the most important thing.

After sending the howling bear away, Levi looked at Knight Fred and asked, "Sir Fred, how are you finding books about wizards?"

Fred smiled and said, "You are really concerned about this matter of wizards. Don't worry, I have sent people to look for it. Most of them are biographies of rangers or some novels. Don't take them seriously. I found a book here. I asked a wandering merchant. It records a legend about wizards. You can take a look."

Knight Fred handed over a parchment book, which was very ancient and worn.

"Grimm's Travels".

The author is a man who calls himself "Green". Obviously, Green is a pen name and no one knows who he is exactly.

Levi returned to his room, opened the travel book and started reading from the beginning.

Greene described himself as a traveling merchant. The content of his travel notes was not very long. It mainly recorded some strange stories that Greene heard during his journey. One of them was about wizards.

"In the 847th year of the Holy Hui Calendar, on the sea east of Stormwind City in the Emerald Kingdom, the merchant ship I was on was wrecked in a storm. I held onto a piece of wood and prayed to the loving Father of Heaven, praying that I could survive this disaster. Perhaps my devout faith moved the loving Father of Heaven, and I survived. I was washed onto an unknown island by the waves. I had no idea where this was. Hungry and thirsty, I searched everywhere on the island for food, and then I saw many magical creatures that subverted my imagination."

"There was a three-legged toad with a beautiful face on its back. There was a swan with six pairs of wings, holy and beautiful, just like the twelve-winged angel beside the father of heaven in the legend. There was also a red mushroom that could run. Damn, that guy could speak human language and tore a piece of meat from his body and fed it to me. After eating the mushrooms, I fell asleep in a daze. I vaguely remember that there was a beautiful lady sitting next to me..."

"I don't remember what happened afterwards. When I woke up, I was back on a fishing boat. The fishermen said they found me floating on a piece of wood and rescued me. I thought I might have encountered the legendary wizard. Only wizards would study and create some strange creatures. Moreover, I found that after I ate the flesh and blood of that mushroom, the stubborn disease that had troubled me for many years no longer existed. I am younger and stronger than before. This must be the power of magic. It was the witch who saved me! Later, I made a lot of money in business and wanted to go to that island to find the beautiful witch. However, the island seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. I went to sea seven times, but all ended in failure. Until now, my hair has turned gray."

"Because of going to sea, I became a pauper again. My relatives and friends left me. They said I was crazy, but I knew I wasn't. I really saw the wizard. I regrouped and sold my house in the royal city. I decided to go to sea for the eighth time. Before this voyage, I wrote down everything I experienced and published 100 copies at my own expense. If I don't find the legendary wizard, I hope that people who read this book can continue to look for him."

"Oh, yes, I vaguely remember that in the conversation between the red mushroom and the beautiful witch, the mushroom called the witch...Ms. Rowling."
