Chapter 37 Magic Festival
The old witch didn't even know Bingquan. What's going on?
"You said you are the builder of the Candy House?" I asked sternly.
The old witch nodded with certainty and said, "It was indeed what I built!"
"Then why don't you know Ice Fist?"
The old witch looked at me with aggrievedness and asked, "Who is Bingquan? Why should I know each other?"
"Ice Fist is an adventurer. He sells a large number of desserts with magical effects in Iceland. I thought he was the dessert maker who made those desserts, but I found out that he was a fake. After following him all the way here, I found that the dessert was made by you. Why didn't you know Ice Fist?"
After hearing my words, the old witch shook her hand and said, "No, no, you misunderstood! The candy house was indeed built by me, but I didn't say that I made the desserts for building the candy house! The dessert master you mentioned was not me!"
I was stunned when I heard the old witch's explanation, and then I realized that I had a little misunderstanding before. The old witch said that the dessert was not made by her, but the house was built by her, and this seemed to be good. It was like if you find a contractor at a construction site to ask him if the house was built by him, he would definitely say yes, but even if the house was built by him, he didn't need to produce cement and steel bars by himself, right? So, although the old witch is the builder of the candy house, the desserts do not necessarily have to be made by her. She can use other people's desserts to make the candy house, which is like the builder who builds the house to purchase materials. It is purely normal.
Although I knew I had made a mistake in the target, I was not disappointed, because although the old witch's words meant that she was not a magic dessert master, it also meant that she must know who the magic dessert master was. And she also knew the other party's specific address, otherwise where did her dessert come from?
"Since that seems I'm looking for the wrong person. But you have to tell me where the magic dessert is."
When the old witch heard my words, she immediately said in embarrassment: "But I don't know where the magic dessert master lives?"
"What?" Hearing this answer, I angrily grabbed the old witch's neck and lifted her up. Although my height is not tall, it is still very tall compared to the old witch's height of one meter and two meters, so the old witch who was held in my hand struggled desperately. However, I didn't care whether she struggled or not, but just asked her loudly: "Since you don't know where the magic dessert master lives, where did you build the candy house come from? Don't tell me that you picked it up halfway. Because after hearing such an answer, I might not be able to help twisting your neck for a while."
The old witch struggled desperately and said with difficulty: "No...no!... I bought it...I bought it!"
"Book?" I suddenly let go of the old witch and let him fall to the ground, then kicked her who was trying to get up again and continued to ask, "Where did you buy it?"
Although she was kicked, the old witch now knew that she could not compete with someone like me, otherwise she would only die worse. So she immediately replied: "I bought it at Magic Festival."
"What? Magic Festival?"
"Yeah, it's Magic Festival."
"What is Magic Festival?"
"Magic Festival is not a thing. It is a festival party, held once a month. At each party, wizards from all over the world, as well as other people such as evil creatures or the great demon kings, will gather at the venue of the Magic Festival and then conduct trading activities. On this day, everyone will brag about what they have done during this period of time and exchange some academic experiences. Of course, the most important thing is to carry out activities such as the sale of magic items."
"It sounds like the past rural market!"
"I don't know what you said about the market. But we have a magic festival very grand. Although it is held once a month, it is quite frequent, but there are still new discoveries every time."
"When will the next Magic Festival?" I asked anxiously.
"Tomorrow is." The old witch said: "I came here this time to see how many children I collected from the Candy House. Then I took them over as trading items, so that I could exchange some magic coins to buy the magic potion materials I needed." At this point, the old witch suddenly said sadly: "But it seems that I can't buy anything this month. Not only did I not catch a child, but even the Candy House was destroyed. If I rebuilt, I would have to buy a lot of magic desserts!"
"The Magic Coins are the money you used on Magic Festival?"
"It's not only magic festival, but also it's used in normal times, as long as you can meet people in our circle."
"Your circle is full of big bad guys, right?"
"Although we do often do bad things, how can I answer if you say this?" the old witch said awkwardly.
Instead of continuing to ask their so-called circle questions, I changed my question and asked: "So, what else can you exchange magic coins besides children?"
"There are many things! For example, the blood of a virgin, the pure soul, and the delicious human flesh. Oh, by the way, children can not only provide delicious human flesh, but also extract the pure soul."
"Why are these things? Are there not a little normal?" Although I am not the kind of caring person with a lot of sympathy, I am not so perverted that I can collect those things. Although I can get a bunch of them at any time if I want, I decided to consider other things.
The old witch said in a dilemma: "There are other things, but these three are the hard currency with the largest demand. As long as you have them, there will definitely be someone to want them. Because the supply of other things is unstable and the demand is not stable, it is not possible to exchange for magic coins every time. Sometimes people want but no one sells them, and sometimes people sell but no one buys them."
“Aren’t those that trade more frequently?”
"Yes, of course, there are." The old witch thought for a while and said, "If you have the kind of walnut that has been struck by lightning but not completely burnt, you will definitely be able to exchange for magic coins."
"Will you not be completely burned after being struck by lightning? Don't you have any normal things?" Walnut is easy to find. If you want it, it is not a problem to make hundreds of thousands of cubic meters. The key is to be struck by lightning. It cannot be burned after being struck by lightning. There are too many restrictions, and I guess there are not many in the world.
The old witch probably knew that this thing was difficult to find, so she could only continue: "In fact, there are some things that have a stable demand, but they are too cheap!"
"What?"
"The gecko's tail, the venomous snake's fangs, the core in the middle of the garlic, the saliva of the toad,..."
"Stop... what's the mess?" My face turned green when I heard these piles of things, and I felt disgusting when I thought of them.
The old witch said aggrievedly: "Aren't I trying to help you find a way? When you asked me about the Magic Coins and Magic Festival, you just wanted to find the Magic Dessert Master to buy her Magic Desserts. You don't have those things that people often want. Although what I just said is cheaper, it's better to collect, as long as..."
"I don't have that skill. Think about what else can I trade for?"
"Are there?" The old witch knocked her head with her hand while turning around in circles, and then after a few seconds, she suddenly looked up and said, "Oh. I thought of it."
“What is it?”
"Crystal balls vary according to the quality of the crystal. White crystals are the cheapest when the color is the same, black crystals are slightly higher, and blood crystals are the most expensive. And the processing level is also very important. The more garden crystals are, the more valuable they are, because eccentric crystal balls will have uneven distribution of magic power during the use of some spells. In addition, in addition to the crystal balls, bones are also valuable."
"Bone? Are you talking about human bones?"
"The most sold skull among human bones is skulls, which is also the best selling variety among bones. The stronger and complete human skulls are, the more valuable it is. However, a complete set of human bones is higher. In addition, keels and other biological bones can also be sold for money, but the price is unstable, and people don't want them at any time. Only human bones are best sold, especially skulls, which are almost never sold."
"Yes, I have these two things, which can be used for exchange. But you have to take me to the Magic Festival. After I sell the things, I will share your magic coins as your reward and compensate you for your losses, so you work hard for me and will not treat you badly."
When the old witch heard that she had a reward, she immediately nodded excitedly. Looking at her big head, I was really afraid that she would throw her head off her neck.
"As you said, tomorrow is Magic Festival. It's already noon now, so it seems we're going to hurry up."
"Actually, people will arrive one after another starting tonight, so if you are anxious, you can already trade tonight."
“When will the magic dessert maker arrive?”
"I arrive the next day every time, and she is already there every time I arrive, so I guess she will arrive early tomorrow even if she doesn't go tonight."
I nodded and said, "Okay, let's get some human bones and crystal balls now. Come with me and help me see which one is more valuable."
"Okay. But where are there so many human bones nearby?" said the old witch: "I have searched the nearby areas long ago, and I have poached those who can sell them for a long time."
"Of course, you can't find here. How many bones can you find when you are looking for death in this broken place? Come with me, and I will naturally know where there are bones."
Although I was asking the old witch to come with me, I didn't mean to wait for her to leave. I went up and grabbed the collar of her clothes and lifted it up, then took back the other magic pets and left the rose vines to make it easier for me to locate when I came back, and then summoned the bird and jumped up.
As soon as the bird appeared, it started to accelerate, and its speed exceeded the speed of sound within ten seconds. I was used to this speed, but there was no special feeling, but the old witch was frightened. The fastest vehicle she had ever sat on before was her broom. That thing could fly, and it was okay to fly, but the so-called speed was still okay, but it was relative to moving objects on the ground. In fact, the fastest flight speed of the old witch's broom was only 150 kilometers or less. In reality, many cars could run to this speed, and there were more things faster than this in the game. After all, after using an auxiliary spell such as acceleration in the game, even ordinary war horses could run to a speed of 100 kilometers per hour. This 150 kilometers per hour was not very fast.
Although the old witch could face the oncoming wind leisurely on the broom with a speed of 150 kilometers per hour, she could only huddle under the bird's protection board at the speed of 1800 kilometers per hour, and she could only shiver under the bird's protection board. After all, this was more than ten times the speed of her broom, and she would naturally not be able to adapt for a while. However, when she got used to it, she would probably not be able to adapt again when riding the broom.
I didn't care whether the old witch could adapt to this speed. As long as he couldn't die, it would be fine. At this speed, he shot out of the fairy tale forest, and soon we crossed the border and entered Germany.
Why am I here? Of course I came to Ditans. If you talk about human bones, how can I compare to the Dark Temple? This place is a demon cave, and human bones are like mountains, piles of them, and you have as much as you want. After all, when the two temples of light and darkness were fighting, the skeleton soldiers were used as cannon fodder. In any holy war, tens of millions of skeleton soldiers were purified by the opponent first. People in the Dark Temple felt that the battle had not officially begun. Therefore, as the basic material for skeleton soldiers, human bones naturally need to be reserved for a long time.
"Okay, stop shaking, we're here." After the bird landed outside the Dark Temple, I pulled the old witch off the bird, but this guy was obviously a little airsick, and he was still confused after he got down.
"Master...please, let me take a break first! I have never taken this kind of transportation before, it's so exciting! My heart can't stand it anymore!"
"Okay, stop calling, I'll help you with it." As I said, I summoned Ling, and then Ling threw a dark blessing on him, immediately letting the old witch return to normal. "Is there any problem now?"
"Well, I feel good. Is this a high-level witch?" the old witch asked looking at Ling.
"You are the witch!" Ling Tangtang was naturally very angry when he was called a witch, but her counterattack seemed useless, after all, she was just a witch.
"Okay, okay, Ling, go back first, come with me."
"Okay." The old witch followed me obediently, and then walked around the several big trees in front of us. We saw the huge dark temple. When we saw this huge temple, the old witch was completely petrified. "This...this...this...this is...this..."
"This is the temple of the Lord of Darkness. You must have never seen it before. Please go in and look around later. It's as high as it comes out of a ravine!"
