"So that's it." Werther said to himself, "Since the parchment has approved it, these fruits are not poisonous."
"Your Highness, what are you mumbling about?" Wile asked curiously, leaning his head forward.
"I'm sure these fruits are not poisonous. Let's pick some back. I can eat one regularly and freeze the rest. In addition, we have to find time to study how to grow this fruit." Witte said happily.
"What? Your Highness, why do you care so much about these fruits?" Wile was a little shocked, "Didn't those thieves just say they were unpalatable?"
"The parchment scroll gave me instructions just now. They are called magic energy fruits. They are helpful to my magic. Anyway, let's pick some now. You put the purple pearls in your pocket alone, and then we put some in the empty cloth bag.
fruit."
"Since you said so, then fine, Your Highness."
Wile smiled and started picking together with Werther. They picked a bag full of magic energy fruits. Werther felt very happy. Not only did he sell some jewelry and get a sum of money today, but he also got a magic energy fruit as a blessing in disguise. In addition,
Wile has become the same as before.
Before leaving, Werther picked another fruit and ate it on the spot.
When he took the first bite, his mouth was filled with a sour taste. It was so sour that his teeth hurt slightly, and his lips were so astringent that they felt numb.
Seeing the embarrassment on his face, Wile put his nose up and smelled it, and smelled something like unripe yellow apricots. He immediately covered his nose and said, "I can't smell it, otherwise my mouth will keep drooling."
Werther continued to endure the rest of the meal and then put the core in his pocket.
"Your Highness, how do you feel now?" Wile asked tentatively.
Werther took out his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth. He couldn't say a word, he was so sore.
They rode horses and returned to Daybreak Town. It was almost dinner time, and the two of them collapsed on the sofa with hungry stomachs.
At this moment, Werther no longer had the sour feeling in his mouth and could speak normally. He held up a bag of magic energy fruits and said to Tom in front of him: "Uncle Tom, help me freeze it."
Tom took the bag and asked: "Your Highness, what kind of fruit is this?"
"Well, that~" Witte thought for a while and said, "It's for body replenishing. According to the locals, it's very effective."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Also, can you help me study how to grow this kind of fruit?" Werther took out the remaining fruit core from his pocket.
"I will help His Highness study it." Tom took the fruit core, took a bag of fruits, and went to the warehouse.
Witte carefully felt the energy in his body and found that there was almost no change. Perhaps the effect of the magic energy fruit was gradual.
Soon Porter prepared dinner, and after dinner, Werther felt less tired.
Linna flew back to the castle, bringing with her the materials for making a winter coat. It seemed that she planned to make another one at the castle.
Werther asked her: "How many urgent winter coats are there for the tailor shop yet to be finished?"
"About ten pieces. Now the old couple's son and his fiancée will also take time to help make the clothes. If we speed up, it will be completed in about three days."
"It's mid-January now and half of winter has passed. I hope the people can endure it."
"After completing these orders, I will continue to make clothes and give them to poor people. The cost will be paid from the castle's money, okay?"
"sure."
Lina also came over and sat next to Werther, lying on the table tiredly. Werther felt extremely distressed when he saw Lina's tired-looking body and her shoulders covered by her long brown hair rising and falling weakly.
Just when he was about to say something, Lina sat up straight again and looked at him.
"By the way, Werther, how are the washed clothes? Are there any stains?"
"There are indeed no stains, but one piece of clothing was washed away by you. You know, that piece of clothing is not easy."
"Huh?" Lina looked disappointed, "In this case, do you need me to stand on my head and salute you?"
Werther was amused by her words: "Of course not, but that dress can only be worn in the castle. Well, have you had dinner?"
"Not yet. The old couple at the tailor shop invited me to have dinner with them, but I saw their son brought his fiancée to see them. I was afraid it would not be appropriate for me to have dinner there, so I came back." Lina stretched her body.
"Then I'll go to the kitchen first and see what food is available."
"Well, okay."
"By the way, do you still need me to accompany you by the river tonight?" Lina turned around and looked at him, "You should be able to control it now, right."
"Well, I'll just go by myself tonight."
"No!" Lina said as she stood up from the chair, bent her arms, elbows down, and put her hands into fists in front of her neck, "I knew you would say this. But I can't let you do it by yourself.
Go to the river. In order to protect your safety, I still have to watch you. After all, protecting you is my mission."
Seeing her slightly excited look, Werther suddenly felt that she was a little cute, so he smiled and said, "That's good, but it's extremely cold today and the wind is not strong. You can bring an extra blanket."
After Lina had a quick dinner, Werther took Lina to the river again.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that after eating the magic energy fruit, it was indeed easier to use magic, and the time to accumulate power was also shorter. However, it did not speed up his learning of magic like the magic ring did, nor did it make his magic upper limit higher.
.
But this is enough.
After practicing for two hours, he sat next to Lina to rest, and by the way, he told Lina everything he had experienced today.
After resting enough, he practiced for another hour. When he returned to the castle, he found that it was already eleven o'clock.
Linna went back to the room to continue making winter clothes, while Werther went back to the room and started to sleep.
He was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and kept thinking about the magic energy fruit. Maybe, I can eat another one today to see what the effect will be?
Thinking of the bad taste, he couldn't help but feel conflicted, but he was also greedy for its unique effects.
He came out of the room, sneaked to the warehouse, opened the ice cellar, and saw the magic energy fruit placed together with fresh animal blood. Seeing this orange-yellow thing, he couldn't help but drool.
Oops, if I eat too much in one day, will it hurt my stomach? Originally, my stomach was relatively healthy, but if it got damaged, I would lose more than I gained. When I was doubtful, the parchment roll didn’t give me any hints. It was really too much.
ah!
He swallowed and decided to eat another one.
When he bit into it again, he was surprised to find that the magic energy fruit was no longer so sour. It now tasted sweet and sour, with a special fragrance.
This made it much easier to accept, and it tasted delicious. He quickly finished the second fruit of the day.
Maybe it’s because I just practiced
Because practicing magic consumed too much energy, he felt a little hungry, so he took out the third fruit of the day.
The sweetness is even higher this time! The taste is like a ripe peach, with a slight aroma of apricot and plum.
"Well, it's delicious. Why does it taste better the more you eat it?" With doubts, Werther finished eating the third fruit of the day, then reached into the ice cellar and picked up the fourth one.
Werther, who was too eager to improve his magic, seemed to be possessed, couldn't stop eating, and ate all the fruits he brought back.
Miraculously, he felt that his whole body was filled with magical energy at this moment, and even if his superpower eyes were not opened intentionally, he could vaguely see things outside through the wall.
"Uh, I've eaten them all." He stroked his round belly, feeling a little worried, "Now my magic energy seems to be used automatically, and I don't seem to be able to control it at all."
Just when he was about to leave the warehouse, he accidentally used teleportation and reached the hall of the castle.
Fortunately, Wile was the only one standing there.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Wile held the mop, looking a little scared, "Kathy and the others just left here. Fortunately, they didn't see you using magic."
"Well, I didn't use magic just now, I just... teleported unconsciously." Werther looked at Wile blankly.
"Your Highness." Wile stared at Werther, "Your face is very pale. What happened to you? Could it be that you were poisoned?"
Werther also felt flustered at this time. He touched his forehead with his hand and found that there were many beads of sweat on his forehead. After a while, he felt that his whole body was weak again.
He said weakly: "Maybe I just ate too many magic energy fruits, which caused side effects."
Wile was surprised: "How much did you eat?"
"I ate all the fruits we picked."
"What, you ate it all!" Wile took a breath, and the mop in his hand fell to the ground, making a clanging sound. "That thing is related to magic. If you eat too much, it will definitely have side effects. I
How can you ignore something that everyone can understand?"
"That fruit is very strange. I originally just wanted to taste one more. Unexpectedly, starting from the second one, the taste started to get better. At that time, there seemed to be a voice in my mind. After eating these fruits, your magic will
I will go further. Under this psychological suggestion, I slowly ate up all these fruits."
"There is no need to explain so much. The reason is that this fruit has become delicious in your eyes. Your Highness, you are really greedy."
"If you eat two, you will also be greedy for this fruit."
"Anyway, I think you should not overeat like this, don't practice magic too diligently, and don't forget the side effects of when you first learned the second level of magic, and even lost your memory." Wile's eyes were full of concern, and it was obvious.
, he really thought about Werther, but there was nothing he could do to relieve his worries.
"I will remember these lessons. Well, my stomach feels so bad."
Werther suddenly felt like his stomach was churning, and he immediately ran out and vomited all over the floor. It was not until he vomited that he felt much better, and his magic returned to normal.
It's a pity that his wrong way of eating today caused so much magic energy fruit to be wasted.
"Your Highness, please go back and I'll help you clean up." Wile said softly from behind him.
