Witch Forest Friends Club

You're Brutalist enough.

Anjaye complained secretly, and threw a large plate of larvae to Bill and Lance for dinner.

"Sister Gloria is here!" Bounty suddenly jumped up and waved.

The tall figure of the barbarian quickly crossed the grassy hill and broke into the halfling's mushroom courtyard.She carried a swamp frog as big as a calf on her back, with big bulging eyes, still stuck in the infinite nostalgia for the world during her lifetime.

Gloria threw the dead frog with its big tongue sticking out heavily on the ground. Just a pair of strong hind legs of the frog were longer than the height of a halfling.

"Did you come here with a meal?" Anjaye stared at the barbarian sitting on the picnic cloth unceremoniously, ready to wait for the food to be served.

"Don't mind, I'll bring you prey anyway." Gloria kicked the dead frog on the ground.

"Black-spotted swamp frog, a wild ingredient that is very popular with adventurers, especially roasted frog legs, sprinkle some sauce, it is so delicious that it will melt your tongue."

"Don't sit still." An Jiaye waved his staff and drove Goliath off the picnic cloth, "If you want to eat, go bake it yourself."

Anjaye put the newly acquired beeswax and honey syrup into the container and handed them to Mr. Polly, an ingenious halfling wizard. He quickly extracted the mellow and fragrant honey syrup, added it to the self-brewed fruit wine, and sweet bread Bring it to the girls.

On the simple stove built with stones, a cauldron filled with vegetables and mushrooms was gurgling and bubbling. The creamy mushroom soup made by Lilian was about to come out of the pan.

Bundy couldn't wait to pick up the spoon and serve soup for himself and Adele.

"Be careful not to burn your tongue." Jana used the Wind Calling Charm, summoning a soft breeze to cool down the heat.

"Is porcini mushrooms and tender omelets so delicious? I'll never forget them for the rest of my life."

"The flavor of grilled frog meat is also irresistible. I can't hold it in my stomach, but I still can't stop my mouth."

Having tasted the long-lost mountain delicacy, Jana and the others covered their mouths with happiness.

"Miss Lilian's craftsmanship is not inferior to Luke's at all."

"Lilian is very talented in cooking. Thanks to her, I was able to make it all the way." Her Highness Tini held up the wooden wine glass and tasted the folk fruit wine that she had never tasted before—even if the princess curled her legs , sitting reclined on the picnic cloth full of rustic atmosphere, it is also elegant like a court painting of a nobleman traveling.

"These mushrooms are really of good quality." Lilian put down the bowl and sat up straight, "But the white moon truffles that are abundant in my hometown are rare treasures. Every autumn, I take the truffle dog raised by my family to the woods. Can dig enough fungus to be happy for a whole winter."

She showed nostalgia: "It's a pity that when I came back from the monastery, I accompanied the princess to the peninsula. I haven't eaten truffles from my hometown for ten years."

Elsa raised her hand excitedly and said, "I announce that Xiao An will be fired as a chef now, and Miss Lilian will be asked to cook for us in the future."

"I have no objection." Anjaye sipped the milky and sweet soup, "It's a good thing to be able to eat more delicious mushroom soup every day."

Lance and Bill behind her also smiled and nodded while holding oversized mushroom bowls.

"Thank you for your attention." Lady Lilian nodded to the little witches.

"Actually, that Witch Fighting Card is quite fun. Her Royal Highness and I have had a great time playing these two days. Please treat my cooking as a trivial gift in return."

"As long as you like it." Anjaye expressed satisfaction.Sure enough, poker can be addictive.

When mentioning the progress of the promotion of Magic Fighting Cards, Anjaye couldn't help but feel a slight sense of accomplishment—not only the princess master and servant, but even Baron Raphael and Ronan were dragged into the pit. If you lose a game, you have to drink a large glass of wine.

During the period, Adeli also asked her to send the remaining card making materials. Many pilgrims asked Adeli to complete more decks. It can be said that the magic fighting card has officially become popular among the pilgrims.

Anjaye held up the fruit and honey wine and said to his companions.

"Thank you for your assistance. In the next journey, we will also use our wisdom and courage to successfully reach the end of the tour!"

"cheers!"

After drinking and eating, the satisfied little witches lay on the picnic cloth, feeling the breeze and warm weather.

Just as Anjaye used the water calling spell to help Bill and Lance, who were lazily rolling on the grass, clean up the stains on their bodies.

"Xiao An." Goliath, who finished off the remaining half of the roasted frog by herself, dropped the frog leg bone in her hand, and winked at her, "The clansmen still have some things to arrange. I'm going to do something right."

When Anjaye followed Goliath to the settlement assigned to the Gotts, he found that Shan Ya's strong labor force had put all their efforts into making the tribe live in peace.Under the guidance of halflings and human craftsmen, they began to build wooden houses and stoves, while women and children were also cooking, gathering, weaving and grinding weapons.

The arrival of more outsiders in Xiangmu Town does not seem to have changed the lives of the local residents for the time being, but the Gaut people who have just arrived have to face their unfamiliar life from the very beginning.

Bo and Gambino on the border of Argos are on the high hills of the settlement, listening to the report of the representatives of the self-government association.

"Because of the war more than ten years ago and the remnants of the fog and tide, many plots have been abandoned. We have cleaned up the chaos in the past two years and gradually pushed the safe settlement line back to the edge of the swamp. The newly reclaimed wasteland, It also exceeds the cultivation area of ​​Xiangmu Town."

"Some time ago, the townspeople were mobilized to open up a new colony in the swampy highlands in the northwest, and there is a lot of work to be done."

"Even the Gort people are old and weak, but they are also full of physical strength. They can be used as guards and labor to supplement the colony's manpower."

"Patriarch Gloria." The Argos frontier boss who noticed the girl's arrival nodded to them, "Did you hear that?"

"I will leave behind a capable assistant to cooperate with the self-government association to arrange the next pioneering work for the Gott people. The merchant ships from the Black Marsh will transport food here every once in a while, and the members of the Bagpiper Sisterhood, It will also mediate the relationship between the Gort people and the town."

"If your tribe wants to gain the trust of the townspeople, it needs a process of adaptation." Although the old earl was asking for opinions, his attitude was unquestionable. "I think the Shanya tribe can use some of their strengths in the development of Xiangmu Town. You don't have an opinion."

"Your Excellency Argos." Gloria responded frankly, "Your arrangement is very reasonable."

"Oh? Don't you think it's humiliating to let old warriors herd sheep and force young beasts to pick mushrooms?" The old count stared at Gloria's clear red vertical pupils with burning eyes.

"The glory of the Gotts is for the battle and the continuation of the tribe. We have domesticated wild animals since ancient times, but there is no room for too large pastures among the mountains." Goliath responded freely, "There are ways of living on the plains. , in order to continue the tribe, the Gaut people should make changes. And - whoever said that there are no warriors among the shepherds, I heard that when the lion Wang Yan was exiled, he should herd the sheep in Twilight City. And the cubs of the beasts Cubs will not lose their fangs just because mushrooms are added to the recipe."

An Jiaye looked at her back without showing any weakness, and nodded slightly - it seems that I haven't seen her in so many years, Goliath has grown more than just muscles and height.

"You're right." Argos' border uncle still had a sharp smile on his face. "The food and lodging expenses for thousands of people is not a small amount. I hope you can prove the reliability of the Gott people."

"Master Argos, there can be other sources of food for the camp." Anjaye suggested at the right time, "The humus soil here is very fertile, I can build a mushroom bed next to the camp, with halflings and bagpipers around, It must be able to cultivate edible fungi very well, whether it can be used as rations or feed for livestock."

Gloria beckoned the nearby subordinates to come over, and after communicating with them, she turned her head and translated.

"My warriors went to the swamp highlands to investigate. There are many black swamp water-calling snapping turtles nearby, which can be domesticated to serve as war animals and pack animals. The wild goats and deer in the dense forest are also good sources of livestock."

"Regarding the opinions of His Excellency Argos, they agreed to cooperate with the reclamation work of the pioneering land. The incompetent shall not be eaten. This is also the ancestral motto of the Gort people."

"Very good." Earl Argos and the old wolf looked at each other with meaningful expressions, "I hope you can live in peace with the land of the Black Marsh."

"I can't boast that it's not difficult to adapt to the new living environment." Gloria clenched her fists in her heart, and her voice was like thunder. "But Ms. Diana's people not only have the courage to kill the enemy, but also candidly face their own difficulties."

"Mushrooms can grow in all kinds of environments, and the tenacity of the Gotts is no worse than that of mushrooms." An Jiaye also helped to speak, "As long as Gloria can prove that she is worthy of the kingship of the Gotts, I believe them too." It can overcome the constraints of tradition and fight against outdated habits.”

"It's great, Xiao An." Gloria hugged the petite figure of the girl into her arms, "You are worthy of being my great wizard in the future."

The old wolf shook his neck and arms, loosening the stiff bones all over his body. "Okay, the brat's matter is settled, next, it depends on whether our trip to Lenghu goes smoothly."

"It's very expensive to hire a Gott warrior." Gloria stared at her adoptive father maliciously, "Old man, the money you paid before is not enough for our settlement."

"The Earl of the Black Marsh is here—" Lao Lang threw the hot potato to the old acquaintance casually, "Do you still have to worry about running out of money?"

"Drink a few more drinks with me at night." Uncle Argos raised his metal artificial leg and patted hard, "Your father 'Thunder Grip' made me lose a leg back then, and I have to get back this face."

"Whoever loses will pay for the wine." Frontier Bohao said angrily, "In addition——if you can drink me down, I will cover all the winter food for the Shanya tribe this year."

"Deal." Gloria saw Lie Xinxi's frightening smile on her face, "It's the first time that the Gort people can get food from the Oga people without relying on robbing."

"Haha, don't worry, I won't treat my future comrades badly!"

Not to mention the friendship between the two monsters, the old and the young, who use each other, whether it is sincere or not.

Anjaye also saw that the border uncle of the Black Marsh attaches great importance to the upcoming battle in the cold lake.He was determined to fight against the Oga royal family to the end, so he was willing to spend a lot of money to tie the Gotts to the warship.

The Shanya Tribe temporarily settled in "Xiangmu Town", where the old and the weak were properly resettled, and the warriors in their prime would follow the new king on the journey after a short rest, and exchange their blood for the future survival of the tribe.

Anjaye did not disappoint Goliath's trust.

She took the dandelion team and two big mushrooms, and recruited halfling wizards as helpers. She opened up a new mushroom cave and several mushroom houses near the Gaut settlement, and suggested that Goliath hire nearby reliable halflings to help Grow mushrooms.

During the working period, Anjaye also saw that Fanna led the soldiers from Lenghu to cut down the fragrant wood outside the town, made a coffin by means of witchcraft, and borrowed a mule cart to carry it back.

"Is this going to carry the coffin back to the "Grey Shrike"?" Elsa sat on the boulder shaking her feet, watching Fanna and her party leave boredly - her shadow servant was helping to build the mushroom house, Kittens don't have to do it themselves at all.

"I heard that Vanna has kept the corpse of the Earnshaw knight with a freezing spell, and put it in her room for guarding, and no one is allowed to come near it." Bounty looked at the coffin in the distance and smacked her lips. "It's a bit scary to think about it."

"The grief of losing her brother is understandable, but it's really hard for Luke and Canbera who live with her." Adelia also panicked, "Will the coffin be put in the room too?"

"Your news is behind." Jana couldn't help but sigh softly, "Luke and Canbera have already moved to other people's rooms. Even if it's a bit crowded, it's better than staying with the corpse."

The bagpipe girl wiped the sweat from her face from work, showing a fearful look: "Luke told me that Fanna spent all day in the room looking through witchcraft notebooks, without thinking about food and drink, worrying whether she was studying suspicious black magic. Witchcraft."

"Pay more attention to her condition." An Jiaye also saw that something was wrong with the blond girl.

After spending a lot of free time in Xiangmu Town during the day, the pilgrims gathered again that night and followed Mr. Polly to the only tavern in the town.

It was a two-story classical wooden building, and a spacious terrace was built on the second floor. Hanging on the signboard at the gate, there was a painting of a Big Mouth Lake Monster soaked in wine and drinking wildly with a glass of wine. It’s as weird and cute as Bill and Lance—I heard from Mr. Poli on Anjaye Road that mushrooms are also used as ingredients here, and special wines are exclusively brewed.

"Welcome to the 'Strange Mouth Fish Tavern', have a good drink tonight. There are spell casters who don't accept alcohol, and we also serve specially prepared fruit drinks."

Almost all the little witches present stepped into the rumored tavern full of stories and magical encounters for the first time, but the tavern was reserved by the Black Marsh border uncle's team, which wasted their desire to experience the original folk adventure scene Mood.

It is said that it is a reception banquet arranged for the pilgrims, but the strong men present who are drunk are the protagonists.

However, there were exceptions. Gloria drank seven or eight knights of the Black Marsh by herself.

This humanoid female dragon can not only kill all directions on the battlefield, but is also a first-class hero on the wine table.

The border uncle Argos, who was blushing and lying on the table, casually took the letter from his subordinates, opened the seal and opened the pages to read.

"There is trouble." The drunken face of Argos Frontier Bo suddenly recovered a bit of seriousness, and he waved the letter paper to the old wolf who was as stable as Mount Tai, "Marshall's Cold Lake Fleet blocked the road to the capital 'Paolisa. De' route, unless I want to fight him, my ship can't go directly. The land route is also blocked by several camps and the defenders of Tidehold."

"Just right." The old wolf put down his empty wine glass and said with a big mouth, "Old Jose's troops are resting in Port Aland, let's go there to meet up first."

"That bastard Macbeth is still so useless." Argos Boundary suddenly cursed contemptuously, "a little black witchcraft and devil's scum made him frightened, and anyone who is half as old as his father I don't have the ability to live so uselessly!"

"Since he's like a turtle." The old wolf squinted his eyes and sneered, showing his white teeth. "Let us do it for you and dig out the pests hidden in the cold lake."

"How are you going to get there?" the earl asked casually while hiccupping his wine. "In the name of the pilgrimage team, we can go there openly, but it will take some time."

"I want to have some fun." Gambino loosened the collar of the cape that was buttoned too tightly, "It's time to figure it out, the exciting and exciting carnival of the Oga warriors is about to begin."

"Well, no matter how difficult the current situation is, traditional virtues can't be thrown away." Argus Frontier Bo put his metal prosthetic leg heavily on the table, "The preliminaries will be held in outlying towns like Ayn Rand to qualify for the finals Only those who can be released by the defenders can go to the Tide Fortress."

"Xiao An, come here!" The old wolf waved to An Jiaye, who was contentedly tasting the mushroom wine.

When the girl dragged her limp through the wine table and a bunch of drunks, and came to his table.

The old wolf took out a crumpled single page from his pocket, slammed it on the table, moved his finger to the girl, "Look at this—"

An Jiaye took the single page and unfolded it, glanced at it, then frowned and held the paper up to the old wolf.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course." The old wolf took the wine from the passing waiter, and raised the big wooden cup that was gushing foam to her. There was no trace of drunkenness on the old face covered with stone scales.

"Your next trial."

An Jiaye held a leaflet in his hand.

The blood-red, glaring distorted text, together with the adventurer holding up the staff, sword and shield, stimulates the battle scene amidst the cheers of the crowd——

A crumpled flyer, but it renders an exciting atmosphere.

In the box at the bottom of the single page that says the co-organizers, the "lion head and shield" emblem representing the Alga royal family Atela family, as well as the family crests of the border nobles such as Black Marsh, Cold Lake, and Shiwan are printed Well, Anjaye even saw the stamp of the Witch Station under the Academy - the silhouette of a witch driving a pumpkin carriage, and the names of the major chambers of commerce that were suspected sponsors.

"Once in ten years! Oga Border Tournament! Contestants are being recruited!"

"Sword and magic, determine the strongest warrior!"

"Fight against the smog disaster, show your strength!"

"King's Shield, Sword of Daybreak!"

"Go and win the favor of wealth and beauties! The winner will be awarded the honor of 'Knight of the Kingdom', which will be awarded by His Royal Highness 'Porfirio' himself!"

PS: (The content of the second trial is announced, and the pilgrims are ready to set off for Cold Lake! The adventure in the first part will be very exciting and exciting!)

Chapter 74 The Undercurrent Surrounding the Twin Cities, and the Slime Paradise at the Witch's Station?

I don't want to be stalked by a bunch of slimy slimes while hunting mushrooms in the wild. ——"Ankaye's Chat Notes"

In the eyes of the girls, it was a stormy night.

During the day, the majestic and soft waves piled up like alabaster, turned into the turbid breath and blood of monsters in the night, hitting the bow of the "Grey Shrike" chopping the waves, splashing fierce rain and broken waves.

Confused night fog shrouded the glass-colored sky behind the ship, while the rose and orange lights in front of the ship dyed the fog into a colorful and misty river of light, entrenched on the distant shore of the lake.

"Ladies, we are coming." Ronan held up his long sword, and said towards the direction facing the figurehead, "Shuangcheng Port——An Rand!"

After two days of repairing and working in Xiangmu Town, the pilgrims bid farewell to the peaceful holiday time, regained their spirits, and embarked on the treacherous journey.

After another two-day voyage, they finally arrived at the destination of the next trial.

This city built on the hills is against the backdrop of the vast night, like a beautiful and radiant woman, opening a warm and intoxicating embrace to the travelers returning from a long voyage.

From the port with thousands of sails at the bottom, to the gorgeous and majestic towers and city walls on the high place, the residential houses and magnificent buildings are accumulated layer by layer, and the shops and fortresses are scattered high and low. It can be said that the ingenious manpower has turned the whole mountain into a colorful city. At the top is a majestic mansion overlooking the lake like a temple.

"It's a very prosperous and excellent port." Princess Tini held the side of the boat and looked into the distance, her heroic and beautiful face showed a relaxed expression like a blooming epiphyllum, "It can be compared with the largest maritime trade city-states in the northern part of the peninsula. "

Anjaye also leaned against Bill's side against the wind, and couldn't wait to fly to the shore—how long had she not seen such a prosperous scene in the world?
