I'm a heartthrob in the wizarding world [Western Fantasy Elf]
Chapter 7 Southern Territory
The moment the giant thing fell from the sky to the ground, dust flew into the sky.
The air mixed with sand and sawdust hit Ye Qimeng's face like a small sandstorm, causing her to frown and close her eyes tightly, and turned her face to one side to avoid the splashing pebbles.
In the chaos, something seemed to be rolling to her feet, one after another, and they did not stop until a while.
She squatted down, fanning the impurities in the air with her hand, and slowly opened her eyes with the other hand, and picked up something with purple branches and leaves on the ground.
Yes, persimmon fruit.
Ella opened her hands and released the magic fireflies, illuminating most of the dark night with only starlight, and only then could she see the true face of the person coming.
As the dust gradually settled, a somewhat absurd and somewhat pitiful and helpless scene appeared in front of them.
"Don't just look at me, can you help me turn over?"
In front of him was an overturned carriage, its wheels still spinning in the air, making a "click-click-click" sound. The persimmons on the car were scattered all over the floor, many of them smashed, and crimson juice flowed out from between the tarpaulins.
The gray winged horse in front of this cargo carriage was facing up and kicking its hooves toward the starry sky, while its wings were pressed under its body. Even if it tried to flap its wings with brute force, it was all in vain.
"You are so huge, the three of us can lift you!"
Ye Qimeng put down the dog in his hand, walked to the winged horse, and touched the back of his head helplessly, unable to think of any good solution for a while.
Winged Horse asked in surprise: "Can you also communicate with our Winged Horse?"
"Yeah, it's awesome." She was tired of answering this.
Ella on the side looked at her with admiration and praised: "Master, were you communicating with the winged horse just now? What a powerful talent!"
After some exchanges, she and Ella tried to lift the winged horse's body.
The result was exactly as she thought, not moving at all.
"It seems that the chest harness on me is pinching my wings. If you take it off, I should be able to fly on my own." The winged horse turned its head sideways and indicated with its eyes the position of the chest harness on its body.
"Okay, I'll try the method you mentioned." She squatted down and replied.
Ye Qimeng followed Yi Ma's instructions and tinkered for a long time. Finally, she untied the chest strap with a snap, and instantly she felt a huge creature being released from her body.
"Move over, thank you guys, I'm about to take off."
The winged horse slowly swung its wings on its back and pointed its four hooves straight at the sky, as if it was accumulating strength. Ye Qimeng was so frightened that he stood up and pulled Ella and Gouzi back.
After a cry, it turned around 180 degrees, turned over quickly in the air, folded its wings, and hung in the air like an angel who had just descended into the world.
However, he can only be handsome for three seconds.
Suddenly, it seemed to be a little exhausted, and it fell quickly, and its four knees suddenly touched the ground unexpectedly.
It knelt in front of Ye Qimeng...
"You're welcome, but brother, this ceremony is a bit big..." Ye Qimeng couldn't help but joke.
"My wings seem to be injured and I can't fly. Can you help me again? No elves will pass by here at night. If you leave, I will have to kneel here all night."
Yi Ma looked at her with twinkling bright eyes, leaving a drop of crystal clear teardrops, as if she felt aggrieved in her heart. At that moment, Ye Qimeng had the illusion that she was a "dog emperor who punishes his concubines by kneeling down" .
Ella tugged at the corner of her clothes and asked: "Master, do we want to help it? It looks so pitiful. Other than you, no one else can understand what it says..."
Ye Qimeng helplessly replied: "Okay, only good people will do it to the end. Who can let me understand what this guy said! Tell me, how can I help you?"
When Yi Ma heard that they had agreed, he immediately put away his expression of tears, and changed to a more comfortable position, lying on his side on the ground, and said slowly: "The persimmon grove where I live is nearby, please help. I'm going to call my companions, they know how to deal with this kind of accident. The location of the persimmon fruit forest is..."
***
After half an hour.
"Ella, are you sure this is the right direction?"
At this time, Ye Qimeng was holding the edge of his white robe, walking with difficulty, and at the same time, he had to be careful not to get his clothes caught on the thorns growing on the roadside.
The woods here are a bit like the place where she got lost yesterday. The wild growth of various shrubs makes the road ahead gradually narrow from wide to narrow. The branches and branches above the head are also becoming more and more lush, blocking out the only twinkling stars in the dark night.
She just conveyed the path described by the winged horse to Ella three times word for word before starting to move towards the persimmon fruit forest, so there should be no deviation.
Ella led the way, Gouzi walked between them, and Ye Qimeng followed carefully behind them, constantly observing changes in the surrounding environment.
"Master, Ella's sense of direction is unmistakable. And we have the guidance of magic fireflies, so we won't go astray no matter where we go."
Ella opened her small palm, and several small flying insects shining with fluorescent colors floated out from her palm. After spinning a few times in the air, they flew forward.
According to ancient elven books, magical fireflies are natural "guiding lights" that lead lost travelers out of dark predicaments.
Ye Qimeng remembered that this was the "firefly" that Ella took her out of trouble yesterday, so she still trusted this strange and beautiful magical creature.
"Let's go quickly. It's too dark here. There might be some strange beasts." She was still a little worried about what accidents she would encounter on the road.
Their shadows are projected onto the dark and cracked bark, forming a patchwork of large and small shadow fragments. Accompanied by the rustling sound of swaying branches and leaves, as well as the strange chirping of birds in the forest, people can't help but feel horrified.
Ye Qimeng retracted her arms and quickened her pace. She kept telling herself not to think too much, but her eyes couldn't help but glance towards the darkness deep in the forest.
The air in the forest is a bit humid, and even the moss on the soles of the feet seems to be water, making it difficult to walk with one foot deeper and one foot shallower, making it more difficult to move forward. "
"Crack, click, click - click, click -" an unsettling sound came from the bushes.
Ye Qimeng stopped, narrowed his eyes and looked at the source of the sound, and asked with confusion: "Did you hear any sound?"
She bent down and carefully opened the branches and leaves in the bush. She saw a pair of glowing green eyes staring at her, chewing something red in her mouth, and her mouth was full of bright red juice.
For a moment, she was stunned, and what followed was a scream: "Ah! Big rat! Big rat! Big rat -"
In a panic, her foot slipped and she fell into the thick weeds.
Along the gap between the bushes, it rolled down the slope like a rubber ball.
After the continuous friction of gravel, clay and moss mixture, her eyes were filled with stars, as if she saw her soul leaving the body.
This seems to be a cave. It's not very deep. You should be able to reach the cave entrance by standing up. But it doesn't seem to be easy to climb out of the smooth cave wall.
The winding vines sealed most of the hole, leaving only the opening that was shining through, which she should have smashed through when she slid down just now.
It was cool all around, and you could vaguely hear the "tick-tick-tick" sound of water, which should be dripping from the cracks in the rocks. The cave is very neat and clean, with no weeds or moss growing, and no messy dust or rocks. It looks like someone has cleaned it.
"Fortunately, I was wearing a robe, otherwise my skin would have been scratched..."
She tried to get up from the ground, but found something soft underneath her. With the help of the faint light coming from the hole, she discovered that there were balls of cotton-like things.
No wonder she was fine even after falling from such a height. It turned out that the vines and this thing acted as a double buffer.
"Swish-swish--"
There was a strange noise from the depths of the cave not far away. It seemed that an unknown creature was approaching her, which made her involuntarily pick up a thick branch in the dark.
Although this dead branch may not be able to withstand the attack of a huge creature, it is better than nothing.
There was a faint light coming from the corner, and a huge shadow was projected on the rock wall, swaying and changing as the light source moved, like a ghost, getting closer and closer, becoming more and more clear...
Finally, the master of the shadow showed his true form and screamed:
"Oh, why did you collapse my newly made nest!"
Ye Qimeng looked confused: "Big rat?"
"You human being is so stupid! My nest, my newly made nest..."
I saw a "big rat"-like creature rushing up, holding a small oil lamp in one hand, and tapping her feet hard with the other small hand, trying to urge her to get up and leave quickly.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Ye Qimeng quickly got up from the ground and stood aside to apologize.
She observed the creature jumping around in front of her. It had orange fluff with stripes of white stripes on it. Its tail was round and spherical, and its small ears were hidden in the fluff.
Viewed from the back, it looks like an enlarged version of a fat hamster.
What she just saw in the bushes should be the same kind of guy. Because the light was too dark, she mistakenly thought it was a big rat. In fact, now it seems that it is quite a cute creature.
"My name is Ye Qimeng, what's your name?" She squatted down curiously, looked at it and asked.
"You don't understand even if I tell you. It's a pity that I've been making this little nest for so long and haven't given it to Li'er yet! Wuwuwu..." It was holding something like a pile of cotton, which was somewhat He complained with a choked sob.
"I understand, tell me how to compensate you."
"Do you understand what I said?" it looked at Ye Qimeng in surprise and asked.
"Understood," she repeated again: "You can call me Mengmeng, what's your name?"
"Wow, my name is Orange Peel. It's really rare for a human like you to be able to communicate with us magical creatures." This guy named Orange Peel was obviously a little surprised by her ability.
Ye Qimeng explained to Orange Peel for a long time. Just like she and Ella did before, it took a lot of effort to make the natives of the magical world understand her sudden magical ability.
It seems that this kind of communication ability is not common in humans, and it can even be said to be very rare.
Orange Peel told her that it was a magical creature called a persimmon rat that lived near the persimmon fruit forest.
They rely on persimmon fruits to fill their stomachs and also possess magical abilities. Although it is just some small magic, it is enough for them to survive in this forest.
This time she happened to fall into its secret base, which was originally where he stored some gadgets. Its biggest hobby is to make all kinds of weird and cute little things.
For example, the little nest that she just sat on was the birthday gift that Orange Peel had planned to give to Li'er, but she didn't expect it to collapse after she sat on it.
"I heard a noise and thought whose cave had collapsed! Unexpectedly, after searching for a long time, I came over and saw that it was my cave that had collapsed!"
Orange Peel made exaggerated gestures to describe how surprised he was, which made Ye Qimeng a little embarrassed and felt that he would have to compensate the little guy someday. Although it had just said very grandly that she would not have to pay compensation, she still felt a little bit sorry.
"By the way, why do you, a human, come to the Southern Territory? Shouldn't you be living in the countryside with other humans?" Orange Peel asked curiously.
Ye Qimeng felt that it was difficult to explain this matter. After thinking for a long time, he could only answer: "Come to make money."
"Making money... emmm... It's not easy for humans to make money in the land of elves..."
"Hey...I think so too..."
Although Orange Peel's words were very tactful, they still made her a little frustrated. It seemed that making money was not an easy task, whether in the human world or the magical world. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but cover the bag of copper coins tightly.
"Where did you fall? Was it in the woods above? Let me send you up. I'm very familiar with this place."
Orange Peel's words made her suddenly think that Ella and Gouzi were still in the woods above, and they were probably looking for her anxiously.
Ye Qimeng said "Okay" and followed Orange Pei on the way back.
This time she followed closely behind Orange Peel, no longer daring to look around like she did just now.
The path to the underground cave is crooked, unexpectedly large and complex, like a huge maze. If you are not careful, you will get lost here by taking the wrong path.
But Orange Peel was obviously very familiar with this place, and he hurried forward without even looking. Ye Qimeng followed it and walked uphill for a long time before finally seeing the light from the exit.
"Master—master—"
"Ye Qimeng—human—"
There was a faint sound from the entrance of the cave. Someone seemed to be calling her name not far away, and someone was also calling "Master".
"Why is there a dog barking outside? Is it your companion?" Orange Peel also heard the sound and asked curiously.
Ye Qimeng suppressed a smile and replied: "If there is a dog barking, it should be..."
"It should be around here. Let's go look for it together." Orange Peel walked ahead with a small oil lamp. He didn't look afraid at all and comforted her: "Don't worry, there are no man-eating beasts in the woods."
This made her feel relieved. Fortunately, there were no scary beasts. Otherwise, she couldn't discuss with the beast whether to eat her or not. It was a bit funny to think about it.
After a while, they followed the sound and found Ella and Gouzi.
Ella was obviously very excited. She rushed towards her and hugged her. She looked like she was about to cry and said, "Master, Ella thought I lost you again!"
This made her feel a little sorry. Just as she was about to say words of comfort, she was blocked by Gouzi: "Humans are always so easily confused by the things around them. You should follow closely next time you walk."
Orange Peel sighed in relief and said, "Now that you are reunited, I can go home with peace of mind. Goodbye."
"Okay, okay, thank you for taking me out of the hole today. Goodbye." She also said goodbye to Orange Peel.
"Master, do we still want to go to the persimmon forest? Ella thinks we should go back. The woods on the outskirts of the city at night are too dangerous. What if we encounter something again..." Ella was a little worried about her safety.
"You want to go to the Persimmon Fruit Forest? You can't reach the Persimmon Fruit Forest from land."
Orange Peel heard their conversation, stopped walking away, and turned around to say this.
