On the first day of Fengyue, Boom, Rikka, and Christine boarded the sailboat and set off for the Whispering Forest. Compared with the crowded cabin before, this sailboat was not big, but only Boom could be served.
Three people.
Perhaps it was out of goodwill, perhaps it was a blessing for the disaster star to leave, or it was just an order from Archduke Floy. The Lord of Seken City, Shasha, ordered people to escort the three of them away, and also presented a lot of high-grade magic crystals.<
/p>
The purpose of setting off is to encounter more beautiful things, to see things you have never seen before, or to revisit old places and reminisce about them.
Therefore, everyone's journey is very different, just like Boom is looking out the window alone at this moment, just like Rikka and Christine are chatting non-stop.
"Sister, there are really a lot of 'secret bugs' in the Whispering Forest. The taste is so delicious. Even though Rikka only tasted it once, it will be unforgettable."
Rikka stopped chewing snacks and asked with a look of anticipation. She seemed to be going to the Whispering Forest just for her own appetite.
From the moment she was born, the temptation of food was engraved in Rikka's heart. In the following days, she shouldered the responsibility of taking care of her brother, so she was able to eat as much as she wanted.
"It's true that there are a lot of them, but even in the Whispering Forest, the 'Secret Dried Insects' is a very treasured item. Ordinary dark elves may only be able to eat it once a year."
"But if you like it, Rikka, I can get some, but you have to promise my sister that you won't eat them all in one go."
"And for the 'Secret Dried Insects', the longer it is stored, the more delicious it is. If you can restrain your appetite, it is also a beautiful thing to collect some and put them in the dimensional space."<
/p>
Christine smiled when she heard this, and then explained softly. As a vegetarian, although she is not opposed to the "secret dried worms", she is not as obsessed with it as Rikka.
However, Rikka doesn't know that the "secret dried insects" that Christine calls are the best survival food, while what ordinary dark elves eat is the lowest snack.
Those snacks can be found everywhere in the Whispering Forest, and even many dark elf women can make them by themselves. However, the taste is completely different between the two.
"What do dark elves usually do? Are they as boring as humans?" Rikka asked curiously while lying on the bearskin blanket.
In Rikka's memory, Christine was the dark elf she had the deepest impression on, and the one she had spent the longest time with. But Rikka discovered that, except that she didn't like to talk much, she seemed to be no different from humans.<
/p>
This is a fact that Rikka cannot accept, because in Rikka's understanding, each different race should have its own characteristics.
"Well, in fact, no matter humans or dark elves, or even all living beings, they all need to eat when they are hungry, and they will sleep when they are sleepy."
"There may be differences in habits, but in the final analysis, they are all similar. As for the dark elves, they prefer silence and walking in the shade of trees rather than enjoying the warmth of the sun."
Christine thought for a while and then explained. She had been asked this question before, but she felt that the question itself was stupid. Just like magicians, no matter where they come from, they all need magic crystals, and poor people no matter what their personality is.
, we all need to work hard to survive.
So in other words, the impression of the Whispering Forest in Christine's mind is just a big forest, just tree houses hanging in the sky, just a quiet afternoon nap, just four people alone in a daze.
More than a hundred years.
"Ah? There is also a market area in the Whispering Forest, a shop selling sugar cakes, and the latest romance novels?"
Rikka snorted in disappointment, and then asked again. Because in her opinion, that kind of life is full of boredom, or Rikka is an existence that can't rest.
Either go out to rob and kill the mercenary group, or go shopping in the market area for an afternoon, or stand outside the sugar cake shop and eat a lot, or make a fire to cook. In short, she definitely doesn't want to live a comfortable life, at least not yet.
Life.
Whether it is Boom's contracted beast or the ancient ferocious beast. For Rikka, everything in this world is full of novelties, and every little thing can arouse her interest.
"There is no market area, but there is an open-air trading place in the Whispering Forest. That is where the dark elves hang out most every day."
"Romance novels are absolutely not allowed in the Whispering Woods, because the Queen regards them as poison and classifies them as a conspiracy to corrupt the minds of dark elves."
"As for the white sugar cakes, human merchants occasionally bring some, but the dark elves don't seem to like that kind of thing, so maybe you will be disappointed again, Rikka."
Christine gently stroked the female contract beast, and the latter actually squirmed with great enjoyment. The fat head and big ears made Liuhua laugh non-stop.
"The Whispering Forest is really full of poisonous insects. People don't care about it, but my brother...if that's really the case, we'd better not go there."
Rikka suddenly thought of the most important question, and saw her pulling Christine with a worried look on her face, as if saying that Boom would definitely die of poisoning.
"Oh? Should I be happy, or should I be afraid? It turns out that even the sugar cakes are in front of me now, and Rikka has really grown up."
Boom withdrew his gaze, and then interjected angrily, but his current demeanor seemed to be full of ridicule.
"This is the biggest misunderstanding that humans have about the Whispering Forest. It is true that dark elves and poisonous insects are inseparable, but it is too exaggerated to say that poisonous insects are everywhere. You must know that even in the Whispering Forest, not everyone can ignore it
Poisonous insect."
"As long as you don't go to those dangerous places, the gathering place is still very safe. And since the dark elves can drive poisonous insects, they naturally have ways to resist them."
"This ointment is a must-have for ordinary dark elves at home. As long as it is applied once a day, you will not be harassed by poisonous insects all day long. At least it is very effective against most poisonous insects."
After Kristine said that, she took out a small glass bottle from her storage bag. It contained some kind of milky white paste, which looked like the most commonly used cosmetics by human nobles.
"Hey! It doesn't taste very good, does it really work?" Rikka frowned and protested in a low voice.
"Are you sick? They said it was applied on the body, but who told you to take it!" Boom snatched the ointment over and said helplessly.
The rapids of the rocky sea were irregular, and the laughter of the three Booms lasted until late at night. The topic of the Whispering Forest was always the main theme, and Rikka's occasional naivety was extremely cute.
"Since we are three people going there, we must leave together when we leave." Boom gently covered Rikka with a blanket, and then said softly.
"I hope so. The queen is not as easy to talk to as any leader of a human principality." Christine leaned on the female contract beast and drank the ale in the cup.
