The Tin Man twisted his newly repaired neck and made a creaking sound.

His eyes swept over Ma Yun, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng one by one, pausing for a moment on the funny face of the scarecrow Vita, and finally landed on the tree spirit Enya. His eyes were still so cold, without showing the slightest spark of love.

.

"Nick! My favorite, you finally woke up!"

Enya couldn't restrain her excitement and threw herself into the Tin Woodman's arms with tears in her eyes, hugging him tightly.

"Hello, Enya, we meet again." A roaring voice came from the Tin Man's helmet, "Although I don't understand what's so exciting about it, so that you shed tears on me, you know,

Iron sheets are easily corroded by tears and produce rust."

"I didn't expect that the Tin Woodman is quite humorous!"

Jiang Feng smiled and said to Gao Fei.

"But I feel... he doesn't seem to be joking."

Gao Fei replied in a low voice.

Tin Woodman Nick's cold attitude towards his lover reminds him of the "indifference" curse he suffered, which may be a big pitfall.

"It's rare for couples to reunite, so let's not be light bulbs here."

Ma Yun winked at Gao Fei and Jiang Feng and walked out of the forest, leaving a private space for Enya and Nick to express their true feelings.

Not long after, Enya walked out of the woods alone, with tears on her beautiful face and sadness in her eyes.

"Enya, you seem to have something on your mind?" Ma Yun asked the tree spirit.

"Oh, kind-hearted Miss Mage, thank you for waking up Nick, but..." Enya hesitated.

"But it seems that your lover's personality has changed drastically, and his attitude towards you has become cold and indifferent, and he has lost the passion for love in the past?" Gao Fei said for her what was on his mind.

Enya nodded, choked and said: "It's not Nick's fault, it's all the fault of the old witch Evanora! My poor lover, cursed by Evanora, has lost all emotions and has become like his

As cold as a steel body."

Gao Fei sighed. It seemed that what he was most worried about had happened.

Enya wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at Ma Yun with red eyes, and begged sadly: "Miss Mage, can you think of another way to help poor Nick get rid of the curse?"

"this……"

Ma Yun checked the main plot prompt she had just received and said to the sad tree spirit:

"Enya, I don't have the ability to lift the curse on Nick, but Master Oz in the Emerald City may be able to. If you don't object, you can take Nick with you to the Emerald City and ask Master Oz for help."

"Miss Mage, I will let Nick accompany you to the Emerald City. As for me, unfortunately, I cannot stay away from the oak trees that live with me. I can only stay in this forest and look forward to your early return." Enya said sadly.

"Then that's all. Now let's go talk to Nick."

Everyone returned to the forest, explained the next itinerary to Tin Woodman Nick, and invited him to join the tour group heading to the Emerald City.

The Tin Woodman listened silently to Ma Yun's words, glanced at Enya who was reluctant to leave, and then nodded to accept Ma Yun's invitation.

System prompt: "Tin Man" Nick has joined your team!

System prompt: Achieve the plot milestone of this chapter, astral energy 1!



Ma Yun received the system prompt, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Gao Fei and Jiang Feng: "The main plot of this chapter has been completed, and it is getting dark. Let's camp in the forest and continue our journey tomorrow morning."

Gao Fei and Jiang Feng had no objection, so everyone took a long rest in the forest clearing.

Scarecrow Vita had been looking at Tin Woodman Nick curiously, and finally couldn't help but strike up a conversation.

"Hey! Man, I heard that you were also cursed by the old witch Evanora?"

The Tin Woodman turned to look at him and said coldly: "It seems so. I don't think there is anything coke about it."

"Listen to me, man, I don't mean to gloat."

"But you smiled happily."

"That's because my face was drawn with charcoal. People drew such a smiling face on me, and I could only keep this cheerful expression, even if I felt sad."

The Scarecrow shrugged.

"You mentioned 'heart', Scarecrow, do you have a heart?"

The Tin Woodman found a topic of interest.

"Heart?" Vita poked her chest, "I have no heart. In fact, there is only a bag of hay in my chest, just like my head."

"You are pitiful."

The Tin Woodman rarely showed a trace of sympathy in his eyes.

"In my opinion, things like the heart are dispensable. What I care more about is the brain. Man, do you have a brain?" Vita asked the Tin Woodman.

"No, my head is empty." Nick touched his helmet, "But compared to the brain, I think the heart is more important. If both of these things have to be given by Master Oz, I would rather have a heart.

"

"Can you tell me the reason why you made this choice?" the scarecrow asked curiously.

"My tin legs, tin arms, and tin head are flexibly connected to my body, and I can move as freely as ever, but, my God! My heart is gone, so I have lost all love for Enya.

I don’t care if I don’t marry her.”

The Tin Woodman sighed and continued:

"During the years I stayed in the woods, even though I lost my brain, it didn't stop me from thinking. Yes, I had enough time to think and realize that my biggest loss was the loss of my heart."

"When I was in love, I was the happiest person in the world. People without a heart do not know how to love, so I will go to Master Oz and ask him to give me a heart. If he gives it to me, I will

Go back to Enya and marry her."

"What you said makes sense." Vita said with a smile, "However, I would rather have a brain, because a fool can't do things well even if he has a heart."

"I want the heart." Nick insisted, "because the brain cannot make people happy, and happiness is the most important thing in the world."
