Arcane Linguist

Chapter 135 The Fairy of Dreamland

"Honey, in the legend of our Snow Castle, there is a goblin who likes to make trouble on the chair. Would you like me to be your chair goblin?"

On January 1th, at night, in the room.

Luneves, who had carefully dressed up, said so.

"Chair, chair?"

Roland, who was concentrating on studying, was dumbfounded.

Before he could react, Lunifuss had already sat up with a charming smile.

Oh, no!

I'm studying!

I have to concentrate on learning Iser runes!

After a while, Lunephth still had more to say: "Honey, in the legend of our Snow Castle, there are also goblins who like to make trouble on the table. Would you like me to be your table goblin?"

Roland: "..."

After another while, Lunifuss eyes blurred and said: "Honey, in the legend of our Snow Castle, the sofa is also..."

Roland: "..."

After spending most of the night, Roland finally figured it out.

Snow collar chairs, tables, sofas, bathrooms, bathtubs, washstands, dressers, pillows, quilts...

The whole fucking hosts little goblins who like to make trouble!

……

On January 1, in the early morning, the wind stopped and the snow stopped.

Everyone got up early in the morning and gathered at the gate of the town below Snow Fort, waiting to go out and play.

Roland arrived late, with a pair of panda eyes and a gloomy complexion.

Everyone was surprised: "Roland, why do you even have dark circles under your eyes?"

"Learn...learn...I'm learning Iser runes!"

Roland waved his hand and sighed helplessly.

"what?"

The Iser Rune is the secret of the Iser Mage Tower, which is not something ordinary people have the opportunity to touch.

The crowd immediately understood.

The study of arcane art is hard and boring, and the hard work here is not enough for outsiders.

Lunephth changed into a light leather jacket today, wrapped in a tight-fitting waistcoat, her face was radiant and gorgeous.

"Wow, Your Excellency Luneves is dressed in a bodybuilding style today!"

Everyone was sincerely moved and praised.

"I'm going to play in the wild today, so I'd better dress in something light." Lunephth smiled slightly, but she extended an invitation to Roland, "Mr. Roland, I have a question about arcane art, and I will drive with me later." How about it?"

Roland's pupils trembled.

Could there be a little goblin who likes to make trouble in this carriage?
Sure enough, as soon as Roland got into the car, Lunifuss said to him: "Honey, according to the legend of our Snow Castle, there is a goblin who protects travelers in the cushions...

Let me act as your cushion fairy, let you have a good rest. "

"Huh?" Roland was taken aback.

Lunifuss smiled and pulled Roland over, letting him lean on himself as a cushion and squint for a while.

This time, the cushion goblin didn't come out to make trouble again.

……

After more than an hour, the convoy stopped.

What appeared in front of everyone was a vast plain of ice and snow.

It is a large lake in summer, with thick ice covered with snow like a white wool blanket.

In the distance, glacial canyons and snow-covered mountains undulate, and countless trees grow among them, revealing a vitality that is completely different from the bleak winter.

Under the clear sky, the sun was shining, and the whole world seemed to be shining. Fortunately, before everyone came here, in order to prevent their eyes from being hurt by the reflection of ice and snow on the snowfield, they all applied a special ointment produced locally.

It is said that it is made from fish liver oil. The specific process and ingredients are unknown to outsiders, but the effect is very miraculous. In a short period of time, it is no problem to look directly at the sun.

This allows everyone to enjoy the beauty of the ice and snow world in front of them.

"Wow, what a huge ice field!"

The outsiders who had never seen such a scene looked out with a little amazement, and Leitlin of the alchemy school even took out a photo camera to take pictures.

"Meow?"

The cat-eared girls Nicole and Rila got out of the car excitedly and ran a few laps, rolling on the soft snowdrifts, looking like they were enjoying their long-cherished dreams.

They were all wrapped in fluffy fur clothes and mink gloves on their hands. After a while, they were covered with snowflakes, and they simply threw snowballs at each other and had a snowball fight.

"I grew up so big, I haven't played in the snow yet."

Scudder exhaled hot air, with clear stupidity in his eyes, and said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.

Then they had a snowball fight with Tebow and others who also came from the temperate zone.

Roland was also a little eager to move.

but……

Looking at the Grand Duchess of Snow Castle beside her, she decided to create a stable character.

"Let's build a snowman together. The servants will dig holes in the ice field later to look for schools of fish. This is not an easy task. It will test experience and luck."

Lunephth looked at her young lover, her eyes were full of...

Indulge?

Roland gave a dry cough and began to shovel the snow in silence.

A man is a teenager until he dies, so steady or something, go to hell.

On the other side, the servants have already started working.

With the artisan skills of Arterine, it is not yet possible to weave large-scale fishing nets, and the school of magic in the ice field area is not popular, so it is impossible to achieve large-scale fishing with nets.

But the Snow Country people have their own survival techniques, such as net cages and ice fishing.

The snow castle servants put on skates or sleds, and quickly slid to the lake several miles away to fish.

They first observed the terrain based on their rich experience, and found several places to dig through the snow.

Gradually, a few more holes appeared on the lake.

A snowman or icicle is set up on one side, and a small flag is inserted as a warning, while a net cage is cast down, which can catch small fish and shrimp.

There are also more experienced fishermen who have found warmer sunny slopes and started ice fishing.

……

Under the guidance of Lunephth, Roland successfully built the first serious snowman in the past and present.

Not the size of a palm, the kind of mini snowman only a few centimeters high.

After that, he took out a scarf from the dimension bag and tied it.

In the next second, Roland immediately lost interest in this time-consuming and laborious snow country activity, and turned his attention to skiing and skating.

Born in the Snow Country, almost everyone in the Snow Castle Territory is a master of these two sports, and Lunifus is no exception.

She personally explained the essentials of skating to Roland, but before she could say a few words, she saw two cat-eared girls meowing in excitement, with their hands in their pockets, sliding past neatly.

"High agility is amazing!" Roland said enviously, "Forget it, Nisi, I don't need to explain the basics, but give me the spell of "Cat's Grace" and try it directly! "

Luneves smiled slightly and followed her words.

After a while, Roland felt his body become lighter.

According to the evaluation standard of the magic age, the +4 agility spell buff effect acts on the body, even a mage who usually does not exercise much can immediately become as agile and vigorous as an elf in the forest.

Don't look at the difference between Agility 10 and Agility 14 in the Age of Magic, which is actually a +4 attribute correction.

To put it simply, the overall agility has quadrupled!
At that time, Paulina was a good arcanist and went to learn dancing because she had a natural agility of 14 or above. After a period of training, she became a dancer and reached 16 or above.

At the beginning, Roland put on his skates and nearly fell after walking a few steps.

After more than ten seconds, I began to master the balance and was able to walk slowly.

Another minute passed, and he was able to spin and jump on the ice, go backwards, and even make various difficult maneuvers such as twirling and overcoming obstacles.

Just like learning "Old Elven Language" with the help of "Language Proficiency"!
"Magic is really omnipotent!"

After playing on the ice for a while, Roland stopped to rest for a while, and said sincerely.

"It's a pity that I'm only a level 1 mage now, and the only level 2 spells I have mastered are the "Power Word of Seris" series. I haven't had time to learn these buff spells for a while.

And there are tens of thousands of spells. Unless it is a legendary mage who surpasses the life of a mortal, very few people can be proficient in all types and types of spells.

More often, such buff spells are cast in the form of potions or spell scrolls.

This often means spending tens to hundreds of thousands of gold coins. "

"Indeed, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to increase one's own attributes, and frequent medication may have some negative effects, and the price of scrolls generally exceeds the value of the spell itself, because making scrolls not only casts spells, but also has portable and easy-to-use belts. Benefits come...

Ideally, it should be some strange objects or gems that increase the basic attributes. "

When talking about this topic, Luneves had a faint smile on her face, and she took out a small object from the dimension bag in advance.

This is an exquisite and gorgeous gemstone necklace. At the end of a ring-shaped ouroboros chain made of platinum, a flat teardrop-shaped blue gemstone is inlaid in a half-open scallop carved from mithril. A charming luster.

"Honey, this "Gorgeous Mana Crystal Necklace" is made of Mana Crystal Gems with perception +6 effect. Originally, I planned to use another method to help you perform "Ethel Sleepwalking", but After thinking about it, that kind of method may not necessarily be successful, and this kind of thing was prepared in advance. "

As she spoke, her face flushed slightly, and she put it on for him tenderly and considerately.

"This is the platinum style that I asked the craftsman to change before you came, do you like it?"

It is difficult for foreign object blessings to superimpose with the effects of similar buffs. Even if some can be superimposed, the final value will not exceed the racial limit.

According to the measurement results of the Magic Age, the limit value of the six attributes of the human race is 18, and only artifacts and the like can help mortals exceed this limit.

"Gorgeous Mana Crystal Necklace" is a magical object, not a divine weapon, and of course it cannot exceed this limit.

But you must know that most people have no special training, and the value is around 10, and it is difficult to touch the upper limit.

The duration of spells such as "keen intuition" is closely related to the level of the mage. Even if an archmage like Lunifus casts it himself, it will take 17 to 18 minutes.

But once you wear such a necklace, you can always enjoy the effect of gain and blessing.

With this piece of equipment alone, the problem of mastering the secret method of Iser can be solved.

Roland said in surprise: "This is too precious..."

It's nothing more than an ordinary gift. This kind of thing is worth at least 20 gold coins!
Lunifers said: "It's just a necklace, not a magic weapon. I hope you see it as a testimony of our love."

"Then, I won't be disrespectful." Roland thought for a while, and took out the most valuable piece of magic equipment he currently holds, the command staff presented by the Collens family, "I have nothing to give in return. I'll give you a staff."

Lunifuss was a little surprised: "Is this the staff that you can use as your main equipment right now?"

Roland said: "I'm not a battle mage. This kind of thing is more of a collection."

After hearing the words, Lunifus took the staff and said with a smile: "That's right, I will treasure it carefully."

While talking, it was already noon.

The servants managed to catch enough fish for a picnic, and they grilled a fire on the side of the bank.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

A few sled dogs ran over excitedly, and on the ice cart pulled behind, the driver turned out to be...

Nicole the Cat Ear Girl!

"My lord, Luneves-sama, lunch is ready, nya."

Roland and Lunifuss looked at each other and smiled, signaling Nicole to go back first, and then followed behind, skating over.

……

This fishing was very rewarding.

Luneves introduced the servants while instructing the servants to grill fish and cook fish soup.

"This is called snow rabbit fish. It lives in the lakes of the ice sheet. It is small in size, but the meat is delicious. They are one of the delicacies in the stories of adventurers, and they are often regarded as rare ingredients on the ice sheet."

"This is an ice crystal fish. Its body is as transparent as ice crystals. It can survive in cold waters. The meat is also tender and most importantly, it has almost no bones."

"This kind of crystal lobster is a special product only found in the north. I believe you have heard of it for a long time, but even in the top hotels, you can only eat chilled ones, which are far less delicious than the freshly caught ones here. .”

"This is a blue diamond fish. It not only has blue scales, but also often has gem-like crystals growing on the top of its skull. This is actually a kind of bone, which can be used as medicine when crushed."

"This is a narcissus fish, which can only survive in lakes with excellent water quality. It can glow at night... Well, although it's not very tasty, its scales and internal organs can be used as magic materials."

Because this is the fiefdom under her name, this is the true sense of "precious family".

Roland also teased and "invented" this idiom.

Everyone laughed and talked, enjoyed a delicious and natural meal, and then continued fishing and playing in the afternoon, during which they took bows and guns to try hunting.

According to the kingdom's decree, all forests, lakes, and resources produced on the land here belong to the lord.

Although the hunting laws formulated by Luneves are very loose, and hunters are usually allowed to hunt some small and medium-sized creatures and carnivorous beasts, due to the vast land and sparse population, it is still very easy to preserve the original ecology.

But because everyone's experience and skills are good, after a whole afternoon of tossing, they didn't even catch a hare.

In the end, the old hunter in the team could only take the shot. He brought back a silly roe deer and two pheasants in the nearby snow forest, and they were the main food for dinner.

At night, in the afterglow of the sun, everyone was lucky to see the legendary aurora.

Under the brilliant and misty light, while enjoying the food, Lunifuss mentioned to Roland the topic that passed by at noon.

"Remember when I told you, 'That approach may not necessarily work'? Now that the weather is fine, maybe you can give it a try."

"Your Excellency, you mean..."

Everyone was surprised.

Lunifers said with a smile: "According to the legend of our Snow Castle Territory, there is a dream fairy in the forest..."

Roland couldn't help shaking when he heard this.

Immediately, he realized that what he said in front of everyone was a decent goblin, not a dishonest goblin!
"The fairy in the dream... The fairy you are talking about should belong to the category of fairy spirits, right?"

"In that kind of adventure story, there are only palm-sized magical humanoid creatures with transparent wings—fairy/faerie?"

"Yes, it is the kind of magic creature mentioned in the adventure story, living in a clear spring or flower, that can bestow luck, blessings or strange powers!

That is not the rumor of bards, nor is it the strange fantasy of children, but a real species that once existed.

It's a pity that you should also have studied history...

With the advent of the magic era, a large amount of industrial waste and the extraction of leylines have destroyed the natural ecology. On the continent of Art, fewer and fewer fairies are still close and friendly to humans.

They are not extinct, but their numbers have decreased a lot, and they often only live in inaccessible places, deliberately avoiding humans. "

"That's really... a pity!"

Everyone couldn't help but sigh.

Roland said: "What about the fairy in the dream? Is it also a kind of fairy?"

Luneves said: "That's right, but unlike those fairies that bring people luck and blessings, their characteristic is that they will be attracted by human dreams and sneak into them for sightseeing.

If you get the approval of this goblin and sign a contract, you can get a long-term perception attribute bonus! "

"what……"

"Perception..."

Everyone was surprised.

Roland also said: "So that's the case, no wonder you said that kind of method may not necessarily be successful..."

Dream fairies are real.

But whether it is willing to see you, whether it is willing to bless you, and add perception attributes to you, no one can control it.

"This really sounds like the plot in an adventure story. If you want to win the favor of the dream fairy, you must be the protagonist!"

"That's right, it's simply impossible to play a supporting role or a secondary role that isn't mentioned a few times in a chapter!"

Everyone commented.

"Hahahaha!" Scudder laughed loudly, and said with his hands on his hips, "So, if I sleep here tonight, I will definitely be able to attract the dream fairy to visit!"

Hearing Scudder's confident speech, Roland couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, and continued to ask Lunifuss: "Have you ever seen a dream fairy, and have you signed a contract with a dream fairy?"

Luneves laughed at his question.

Several servants and maids also smiled.

"It's not difficult to attract dream fairies. Many residents in Snow Castle Territory have had this experience, and have had lucid dreams under their leadership...

That can be regarded as a temporary perception gain, but there are very few people who are willing to conclude a contract, and even I have not successfully concluded one. "

"It's... so difficult?"

"However, with this kind of temporary lucid dream, you can also quickly experience the "Iser somnambulism". This is a good way to avoid boring learning and quickly master the corresponding skills. If you successfully conclude the contract, you can even build a dream The task is handed over to the dream elves, saving a lot of time and energy.

The favorite thing for this amazing magical creature is to visit human dreams, but unless you have a lot of dream power in your soul and subconscious mind, which can be used as their spiritual food, you will soon lose interest. Never visit your dreams again. "

"Why does this kind of thing sound familiar?" Froya in the crowd frowned, and suddenly realized, "This, this seems to be mentioned in "Iser's Sleepwalking"! Could it be that, 500 years ago, Your Excellency your ancestors..."

Roland and others also remembered that they had read books related to it.

Lunifus nodded proudly: "My ancestor, Your Excellency Archmage Iser, is the contractor of the dream fairy!"

Under the surprised and curious eyes of everyone, Lunefice explained the origin of this legend in detail.

It turned out that the ancestor of Lunephth, the Archmage Iser, was the legendary protagonist of the era, with a natural intelligence and perception dual attributes as high as 16 or more, and possessed all kinds of whimsical ideas and wonderful inspirations.

As a child, he had already attracted the fairy of the dream and made a pact with his kind.

Through spiritual food, in exchange for the work of the dream fairy, in his mind, help him dig out the inspiration fragments in his subconscious, and build a world that becomes a dream.

Before he formally founded the Iser School, his attainments in related fields had already been fully accomplished, and he had built a huge and magnificent dream world——Iser Wonderland!

However, with the passing of Archmage Iser, the dream was given to the goblins who lived in it, and the dream world that only existed on the spiritual level gradually faded away, and even descendants of the bloodline could not see it.

The only thing left is the ritual of summoning the dream fairy and the corresponding contract method.

"So, the key to attracting dream fairies is abundant spiritual energy and rich whimsy?"

Froya summed up the key point.

"Exactly, I think Roland is worth a try!"

Luneves said.

"Bringing everyone here this time is not just for fun, but also goes deep into the snow forest to explore the meaning of the fairy in the dream.

I will use some secret methods to summon dream fairies, and I will keep vigil for you at the camp. If anyone of you meets the selection requirements of dream fairies, you can communicate with them by yourself.

But please be careful, no matter whether you can successfully conclude the contract, don't offend the dream fairy.

It is a very simple and distinct magical creature, if it is hated, it will be pulled into a nightmare and teased severely!

The dream fairy can bring people a very realistic dream, if that is the case, it will definitely not be a good experience! "

Everyone understood, and promised to abide by the etiquette as a guest, and communicate well with the dream fairy.

If you can really meet.

Afterwards, under the suggestion of Lunifuss, everyone continued skiing, skating, and night fishing at night by taking advantage of the polar day, exhausting a lot of energy and stamina.

Until late at night, Luneves placed an incense burner in the center of the camp, lit the mysterious spice that helps people fall asleep, and began to sing, humming softly with a strange voice like a sea monster.

(Elvish)

"Good night, my darling, close your eyes.

Let mom sing you a lullaby.

The stars in the sky are shining brightly.

The moon also looks at you with a smile.

Good night my darling, calm your mind.

Mom will always be there for you.

The dream world is very beautiful.

Quickly enter the hometown of dreams..."

Iser famous singer, soprano artist!

At this time, everyone suddenly realized that there was such a title among Lunifus's many titles.

"It's so nice, what song is this...um, a lullaby or something?"

Roland didn't sleep well for two days and two nights, and after tossing around for a long time today, before he knew it, he fell into a deep sleep amidst Lunifus's singing.

Almost at the moment Roland fell asleep, lights like fireflies appeared over the entire camp.

The aurora is ethereal, and the dreamlike band of light drifts down like a cloud hanging from the sky.

Thousands of silk-like fantasy ribbons linked to his body from those firefly-like lights, and then sank into his body.

Lunephth's singing stopped abruptly.

The servants of Snow Castle also showed their astonishment, and all came over with incomparable surprise.

"Dream... the fairy of the dreamland!"

"many!"
