Chapter 305 The Flower Fairy

"There is a village ahead, let's find a place to rest there." Locke said to Peggy in this way: "The place where the queen said the giant lived in seclusion is not far away."

After staying at the Magic Academy for about four months, Locke and Peggy embarked on a journey. This time their goal was a giant living in seclusion nearby.

The two of them didn't pursue speed all the way, and enjoyed the scenery of the fairy tale world leisurely. When they approached the village, they saw many farmers carrying farm tools back home.

"William, would you like to go to the pub for a drink together?"

Walking on the road, Locke saw a thin man greeting a middle-aged farmer.

"Sonny, are you going to lie to drink again?" At this time, an old farmer said.

The emaciated man is a well-known bum in the village. He eats too much and is lazy. He refuses to work hard. When he has nothing to eat, he helps others to do some casual work. He usually likes to do some sneaky things. He is very unpopular in the village.

"It's none of your business, you old bastard who gave birth to worms!" The skinny man cursed loudly.

After hearing this, the old farmer showed bitterness and did not refute. As a result, the skinny man became even more energetic: "You old guy, the daughter born by my wife is only the size of a thumb. It has been the size of a thumb for several years. It must not be enough. Pious, punished by the Lord of the Holy Light!"

"The size of a thumb?" Locke was taken aback for a moment, and Peggy also squinted slightly, looking at the old farmer, which reminded them of a fairy tale called Thumbelina at the same time.

Thumbelina is about a couple who want a baby and somehow turn to a witch who gives them a magical grain of wheat to plant in a pot.

When the flowers bloomed, a Thumbelina was born, but this Thumbelina's life was not good, and was stolen by a toad, who wanted Thumbelina to be its daughter-in-law.

Fortunately, some kind animals took pity on her, rescued her, and took care of her life. After some twists and turns, she came to a mysterious garden.

There were all kinds of people her size in the garden, and finally she married a king of all flowers and lived happily together.

"It should be that fairy tale." Peggy said to Locke.

"Well, and I still remember some things the queen told me, maybe there will be unexpected gains this time." Locke was talking about a magical creature that the queen told him - the flower fairy.

Flower fairies are born from flowers. They are naturally full of affinity for magic elements. They have the same wisdom as humans and can learn magic.

After signing the contract with the magician, these flower fairies can quickly learn the knowledge that the magician possesses, can help the magician fight, and can also become handy experimental assistants.

In Locke's view, Thumbelina is likely to be a flower elf, and even the garden she came to later is also a gathering place for flower elves. If they can be found, it will definitely be a good thing to bring this group of flower elves back to the academy. matter.

Compared with the flower fairy, the value of the giant that the queen said before was not so important, so Locke gave Peggy a wink, and followed the old farmer all the way to his door.

On the way, Locke had already told Peggy about the flower fairy, and her eyes lit up.

At this time, there were no other villagers around, and Peggy stopped him directly: "Wait a minute."

"Ah, um, hello, gentlemen, what's the matter?" The old farmer was called to stop, and seeing Locke and Peggy's attire, he knew that they were of high status, so he hurriedly said respectfully.

"Ask you something." As he said, a shiny silver object was thrown from Locke's hand, and it just fell into the hand of the old farmer.

Looking at the silver coins in his hand, the old farmer smiled, and then he heard Locke ask, "When did your daughter Thumbelina get lost?"

"It's been more than a year." Perhaps thinking of his daughter, the old farmer also felt a little lost and worried: "We haven't found it after searching for a long time."

"This is a little troublesome. If you want to follow the line to find the garden where the flower fairy is, you need to ask the nearby animals or something, like the goldfish and weasel that appear in the story... they are all common small animals. , it’s really hard to find.”

"Then do you know where the witch who gave you the seeds lives?" At this time, Peggy suddenly asked.

When Peggy said this, Locke immediately understood. According to the fairy tale, Thumbelina is probably also a flower fairy, and the seed that can grow Thumbelina may come from the place where the flower fairies live.

"What witch, the two nobles have made a mistake." The old farmer did not dare to admit the origin of Thumbelina, otherwise if people found out, he would definitely not feel good if he was approached by the people of the Holy See.

"We are not members of the Holy See, and we are not interested in reporting on you. You just need to tell us how to find the witch, and this is yours." Locke took out a gold coin and waved it in front of his eyes.

For a poor peasant like him, a silver coin was already quite a fortune, not to mention a shining gold coin, and the two of them were very sure that he knew about the witch, so the old farmer finally opened his mouth.

A few hours later, Locke and Peggy arrived somewhere in the forest outside the village.

"There doesn't seem to be anything special here." Peggy looked at the surrounding trees: "Is that where the farmer met the witch?"

"Sometimes, what the eyes see is just an illusion." After speaking, Locke stretched out his hand, and the forest in front of him suddenly twisted and twisted, and finally it seemed that the picture in front of him was broken, revealing a long and narrow forest path.

"It's hidden by the magic circle. Unfortunately, I don't know much about this area. It seems that I need to learn more about this area in the future." Peggy looked at the path in front of her: "Let's go. "

"Don't worry, if you enter a witch's territory without the master's permission, you will be attacked." Locke held Peggy who was about to go forward, and he could see that the path in front of him was full of danger. There are many magic organs and traps.

"Who are you?" The two stood at the intersection and waited for a while, when a middle-aged woman in a witch's robe and hat appeared in front of them.

"I'm Locke, and this is Peggy." Locke introduced himself and showed his magic power, "Because I heard some news from a nearby village, I came here to visit."

"In the nearby villages, I seldom have contact with those villagers..." Speaking of this, the witch's originally alert expression suddenly became more vigilant: "What are you here for?"

The witch knew that the last time she had contact with the villagers in the nearby village was to give the old farmer the seeds to grow Thumbelina. Thinking about it this way, it was easy to guess why the two found themselves here.
