Frequent time travel, the intersection of reality and fairy tales, and the flow of time at different times made William a little lost.
After being stunned for a while, William recalled that it had been two years since he last left the unknown forest where the Potion Master was.
It's two years in a fairy tale world, not two years in the real world.
In two years, this nameless forest seems to have remained unchanged.
The forest is lush and green, and the sunlight shining on the branches and leaves is like being dyed with a layer of golden light. It seems to have a sense of sacredness, as if being in a holy place, which makes William feel a special feeling in his heart.
William first went to the small village next to the forest to see Rapunzel's biological parents, the kind-hearted couple Mr. and Mrs. Robert.
William was originally worried that his own radiation would have a negative impact on the kind-hearted couple. In addition, he found a potions master and a new temporary residence, so he chose to leave without saying goodbye and just used the pale substance as a
Just some compensation.
Of course, although this approach is relatively formal, making compensation can make William feel at ease and not feel like he owes others.
William secretly met Robert and his wife without any surprise.
I just accidentally discovered that the living situation of Mr. and Mrs. Robert didn't seem to be very good.
Of course, compared to the living conditions of most people in the village, it is still much better.
However, compared with before, it is much worse.
"Didn't Robert's family work for the potion master? Didn't they send food and daily necessities to his biological daughter, Rapunzel?" William had a doubt in his heart, and he immediately asked the magic mirror to investigate.
It turned out that Robert and his wife no longer had to deliver food to the forest. Without the potions master as a "source of extra income", no wonder the quality of life of Robert's family had dropped so much!
Even the witchcraft instrument that opened the Potions Master's tower has disappeared.
It couldn't have been lost by Robert's family, so it was most likely that it was recovered by the potion master.
William remembered that when he left, the Potions Master was sulking at Rapunzel, and even went so far as to turn the "Prince Charming" who was about to elope with Rapunzel into a donkey.
Poor Rapunzel had to wash her face with tears every day.
Could it be that after all this time, the potion master still refuses to forgive this girl Rapunzel, whom she raised as her inheritor and daughter?
Even Rapunzel's biological parents were implicated?
William had no clue. With a thought in his mind, he asked the magic mirror to detect the situation in the forest, "Magic mirror, detect the situation in the tower?"
"Yes, Master!" The magic mirror carried out William's order perfectly, but the next second, the magic mirror's answer made William feel imperfect, "Master, the location of the tower is covered by a large barrier, including
Where the magic plant garden is, I can’t detect it!”
"Is the potion master in there?" William frowned and asked.
"Master, I'm not sure!" the magic mirror answered truthfully.
William's brows furrowed even deeper. The magic mirror had something to say, and it was basically not subjective.
William pondered on the spot for a while, then quietly left a few pieces of gold with Robert's family, and then walked quickly towards the forest tower, the hermitage of the Potion Master.
Walk like flying!
More than twenty minutes later, William arrived at the location of the tower in his memory.
The reason why it is said to be the location of the tower in memory is because it is covered by a large barrier. The barrier has a psychedelic function. To William's naked eyes, there are just ordinary trees in front of him.
If you walk into it, your perception will be obscured by the psychedelic function of the barrier, and you will be deviated from the road unknowingly and go to other parts of the forest. In the sense of the intruder, he will not
I know that I have been led astray by the barrier, but I think I am on the right path.
This is not the illusion field of Chaoyin Illusion Fish. When William traveled through time, he was in its illusion field, and even the magic mirror was caught.
The barrier set up by the potion master does not have such a powerful hallucinogenic ability. It is okay for ordinary people, but it is difficult to have an effect on formal wizards who are on guard, let alone William who has a magic mirror.
Already.
Of course, it's one thing to detect an abnormality in the barrier, but it's another thing to be able to break it.
Moreover, according to the results detected by the magic mirror, the psychedelic function is only part of the function of this large enchantment, and it has more subtle changes.
William had no intention of taking risks, but he didn't want to leave either.
In half a year, the hourglass of the Kalachakra will be full of energy, and it can open the secret passage of time and space, return to the dark realm, and seek revenge on those two witches and wizards.
Although the harvest at the seaside gave William a lot of confidence, William still wanted to enhance his own strength and make himself more confident.
And the Potion Master is where William is most likely to gain something.
After William thought about it for a while, he temporarily settled in the forest outside the barrier.
He didn't believe it. The potions master and Rapunzel girl could really "ask for nothing" and live their whole lives in a high tower. If they really hid in this high tower.
With a gourmet table at his side, William's outdoor life is not uncomfortable. He can eat whatever he wants. When he is bored, he meditates or continues to study witchcraft. Although he can barely use the curse of fate, there are still some problems.
What you understand cannot be fully grasped.
So William is not bored!
It's just that no matter how good your patience is, if there is no positive feedback, it will be worn away.
One day, three days, five days... one week, two weeks, three weeks... one month, two months...
By the time it was two months, one week and three days old, William finally couldn't stay any longer.
For 70 days, there was not even a ghost of the Potions Master or Rapunzel.
Whether William is yelling, promising huge profits, or even tentatively attacking the barrier (the barrier has a defensive function)!
Robert's family has never appeared. Only hunters from a few villages occasionally pass by here when hunting, but that's all.
William finally could no longer meditate.
Now that he is a first-level crystallized wizard, two months of continuous daily meditation cannot improve his mental power by 0.1. William is not willing to do this "hard work"!
He decided to find other ways.
William suspected that the Potions Master was really not in the tower anymore, and even Rapunzel was not in it either.
In fact, William didn't even know if Rapunzel would be killed by the angry Potions Master, although William thought this possibility was very low. In the fairy tale "Rapunzel", the Potion Master played the role of an old witch.
, when faced with Rapunzel who was about to elope, he just expelled Rapunzel and blinded the prince.
However, it doesn't matter whether Rapunzel is on the high tower inside the barrier or not.
William directly asked the magic mirror to expand the search scope, first to a county in the Principality of Misiha. No trace of the lettuce girl or the potion master was found in the entire county, and then to the entire Principality of Misiha.
But this placed a huge burden on William.
The magic mirror requires energy to expand its search range.
Energy can come from various sources, such as soul energy or magic.
This is not a battlefield, and there is not so much soul energy to provide, although William can only rely on his own magic power to supply the magic mirror for exploration.
But William's magic power is limited. With his ability, he can only support the magic mirror to explore an area of one and a half counties every day.
It will also take time for William to meditate to restore his magic power.
Therefore, William could only supply the magic mirror's magic power intermittently to detect the entire Misiha Principality step by step.
——Still no sign of the Potions Master or Rapunzel Girl!
But William is not without gain!
In the Principality of Misiha, in the unpolluted blue sky, a few flying white clouds were slowly flying towards the location of William. Oh, no, it was the location of the potion master's tower.
Isn’t it normal for white clouds to fly?
However, it would be abnormal if there were a pair of smart cloud-like white eyes hidden inside these ordinary flying white clouds.
If it weren't for the magic mirror's discernment, even if ordinary people saw these swaying white clouds, they would just treat them as ordinary white clouds!
Are they ordinary white clouds?
Obviously not. Being able to fight, have intelligence, and even swallow a few "white clouds" of the same kind are obviously not within this category.
Cloud demon!
The magic mirror immediately recognized their origin and informed William.
"The cloud demon is an ordinary white cloud on the mountain. It has been mutated by the radiation of the gem giant for many years. It is a magical creature with simple intelligence."
"What is the gemstone?" William thought and asked the magic mirror again.
"Gem giants are one of the giant species. They feed on gems, have a body as hard as gems, and are highly resistant to many witchcrafts. Because gem giants only live on gems, their numbers are rare and they are almost extinct!"
The magic mirror told William what he knew.
"Gem giant, cloud demon? Giant, cloud demon?" William muttered these terms silently in his mind, and a strong sense of familiarity emerged in his heart.
After racking my brains for a long time, I suddenly had an idea and finally remembered, isn't this a creature that appears in the fairy tale "The Magic Weed"?
The hero of "Magic Grass" was deceived by the witch's daughter into taking away the wish-fulfilling cloak that can travel through space at will, and was trapped on a gemstone mountain. He was almost killed by a giant. He secretly heard the giant say that the white clouds on the top of the mountain would capture his precious information, so he bravely
He walked up to the top of the mountain and risked letting Baiyun capture him. As a result, he was taken to a botanical garden full of magical lettuce. One kind of lettuce can turn people into donkeys after eating it, and another kind of lettuce can make people turn into donkeys.
Will turn into human form. The male protagonist relies on these two magical plants to make another comeback and take away his two treasures.
William had already had suspicions when he saw the potion master transforming Lady Lettuce's sweetheart into a donkey out of lettuce. However, under the circumstances at that time, William really couldn't say much, so he just kept it secretly in his heart.
.
Now seeing the cloud demon flying towards the Potion Master's Magic Planting Garden, William was just skeptical at first, but now he is completely sure that the Potion Master's Magic Planting Garden is the one visited by the hero of "Magic Herbs"
Magical botanical garden.
William's eyes suddenly became hot. There are two most famous treasures in the fairy tale "Magic Grass". The first one is a bird's heart that can find a gold coin under the pillow every day if swallowed, and the second one is
It is the very famous Ruyi cloak.
The witch in the fairy tale introduces this wish-fulfilling cloak like this: "As long as you put it on your body, you will be where you want to be."
Forget about the bird's heart that produced gold coins, if it was just ordinary gold coins, it would be useless to William.
But the Ruyi Cloak is different. If it has this thing, it will be a first-class weapon for fighting enemies or escaping.
Think about it, if he originally had this wish-fulfilling cloak, then facing the Missi witch and her helpers, even if he is not an opponent for the moment, just imagine that the person can disappear in front of them with a "swish", go
To a place hundreds or thousands of miles away, they could only watch helplessly.
Then he used the magic mirror to detect their every move. As soon as they fell into weakness or separated, William used Ruyi cloak to escape behind them with a "swish" sound. Before they could react, he was surrounded by various people.
Broken.
Think about it again, the innate witchcraft of Void Reclusion brings him concealment, the magic mirror is like an all-weather radar, like his eye in the sky, providing him with various situations, and then the Ruyi Cloak brings him incomparable
of mobility.
These three treasures added together can produce extraordinary effects that far exceed 1+1+1=3.
Even if William goes too far in the fairy tale world or the real world of wizards in the future, and accidentally faces the extraordinary power of a second-level wizard or above, having the Ruyi Cloak with him means he has a great chance of escape.
If he had had this Ruyi Cloak, William wouldn't have had to be so passive when facing those three dwarves with unfathomable fates, and maybe he could have just walked away.
Just thinking about it made William's heart become excited.
He looked at the distant sky like a hungry wolf, where there were white clouds.
Ordinary white clouds and cloud demons were mixed together, and William couldn't tell them apart.
But William couldn't wait any longer.
The white clouds were still swaying, unaware that someone was already sharpening their knives on the ground.
But soon, William calmed down.
More haste less speed.
Like a wolf, William lurked near the tower.
The magic mirror monitors the changes in the cloud and mist demons in the sky all the time.
No matter how much magic power was consumed, William still provided it as if he didn't need magic stones.
Although the magic mirror had monitored these cloud demons very early, it was already two hours later when they "laughing and playing" arrived over the potion master's magic plant garden.
