Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor
Chapter 146 Goodbye, Abundance
Chapter 146 Goodbye, Abundance
In the green forest, the sound of the wind suddenly died down, and in the light, everything became clear.
We have arrived at the Fertile Plains.
Ahead, the wooden sign with the welcome message still stood in the sunset, but the delicacies beside it were already covered in dust.
This problem would never have occurred before, when the Gluttonous Witch's magic was still working perfectly.
Road through wheat fields.
A few people saw that the wheat fields on both sides were no longer empty, and some townspeople were harvesting the wheat.
"Hah—welcome back, everyone! I thought I'd have to wait at least a year or two for you!"
As soon as I entered the town, I saw the familiar figure of a fat townsman walking out of the alley.
Behind him, Hansel and Gretel poked their heads out and waved timidly to the few people.
"Um, how's the world-saving thing going?"
The fat townsman looked them up and down, then approached them and asked mysteriously in a low voice, "That dance..."
"You mean the dance epidemic?"
Lake smiled and said, "It's been solved. No one will die from the dance epidemic anymore."
"cool--"
The fat townsman blinked and spoke in admiration.
"How's the situation in the Fertile Plains lately?"
Veteran Invi looked around the town. Most of the tables placed on both sides of the street were empty at this time. There was no food on them. They were placed outside.
"There's still enough food, and we haven't experienced the same situation as outside. But if things continue like this... famine will soon hit this place again."
As the fat townsman spoke, he took out a piece of wrapped cake from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and gently took a bite.
Then he showed the bitten part to several people.
The bitten part did not recover.
"Although magic still shrouds the Fertile Plains, our food, both in terms of recovery speed and preservation properties, has almost returned to normal over time."
The fat townsman shook his head and continued, "If I want to recover from this bite, it will take me almost a whole night.
In the past, our food would not spoil at all, but now, compared with the outside world, it only has the ability to be 'fresh'."
After the fat townsman finished speaking, he smiled at the few people. However, it had not been long since he and Lake and the others left, and his appearance had not changed much.
"But it doesn't matter. How could there be so many good things happening in this world for no reason?
At least the wheat here is growing well. I can’t be a pastry chef… I can just continue to be an ordinary baker!”
As the fat townsman spoke, although he didn't seem to care, there was still a look of loss on his face that was hard to conceal.
He thought for a moment, then continued, "However... quite a few people may have some opinions about this, so you don't have to worry about it."
In the miracle city of Sweet, most of the colorful clouds in the sky that were originally formed by magic have now dissipated.
In the distant city, the Candy Castle is surrounded in the middle.
But compared to before Lake and others came, it seemed... a little dirty. After the magic wore off, the remaining cleaning ability could not remove all the dust.
The surface of the castle was covered with a light layer of gray soil.
After the magic gradually lost its effect, the heavy weight of the castle and the mismatch between its own delicious materials caused deep cracks to appear on the castle's surface.
This is because... the most core formation is protecting the center of the castle.
As we approached the castle, we saw quite a few people gathered under it.
Some of them were former saints with disheveled clothes, while others were residents of Sweet.
At the very top, the saint who was speaking to the crowd had the number "three" on his chest. There were not many saints who could remain rational and not suffer a major blow after their faith collapsed.
And Saint No. 3 is one of them.
Although the Gluttonous Witch is dead in her castle, there are still many dangers.
Many of these formations are the key to maintaining the entire Fertile Plains barrier and preventing the Candy Castle itself from collapsing.
Under such circumstances, before Lake and the others returned...
It is necessary to restrict the entry of ordinary people.
"Everyone, please stop making noise. I've already told you the evidence and claims that the Angel of Plenty is a witch. We must wait for the real Angel to return..."
As Saint No. 3 spoke, he waved his hand and made a downward gesture, as if to calm the emotions of the Sweet residents below.
But the residents below did not seem to appreciate it.
They were still shouting, and many of them were speaking with annoyance in their voices.
"Impossible! How could the Angel of Plenty be a man-eating witch?! Stop joking—"
"That's right, wasn't this outfit of yours given to you by the Angel of Plenty?"
"You must have made this up!"
"Yes, the food in the Fertile Plains will soon be gone. This must be God's punishment! You must hand over the criminal and execute him!"
"Yeah, the snacks I just made can't be restored after eating them. What should I do?!"
"You won't let us into the castle. Is there some hidden secret inside? Even if not, why don't you distribute the food to everyone?"
At the beginning, the situation in Sweet City was not so bad, but after all the delicacies gradually lost their magical protection, people began to have different voices.
Since there were quite a few saints who witnessed the battle, the truth about the gluttonous witch's death could not be concealed.
Plus……
The life that used to have everything is once again at risk of being lost.
Many residents have complained about this.
In addition, most of these people had never seen the appearance of Karen's angel, so they had many doubts about the truth told by the saints.
"I understand your problems, but before the angel left, he told me he would be back. You should wait for a while..."
Saint No. 3 tried to explain.
But then another resident said loudly:
"We want to see the angel, if there really is a real angel..."
Just when Saint No. 3 was feeling overwhelmed, he suddenly saw several figures walking towards him in the crowd out of the corner of his eye.
And after seeing Karen in front of him, who looked like just a little girl.
Finally, a hint of enthusiasm and joy appeared in his eyes.
"Thank you, sir, for helping us...protect this place while we're gone."
Karen said calmly. Although she looked like a child, a hint of depth once again emerged in her golden pupils. "Leave it to me from now on."
"Angel...this...this is what I should do."
Saint No. 3 bent down flattered and spoke respectfully.
Besides being an excellent chef, he has been a devout believer for a long time, so after learning the truth about the Angel of Plenty and meeting the real angel Karen, he quickly accepted it all.
Although his heart was also filled with pain, he was also the first awakened saint to agree to help the Poros.
Karen stepped forward, and the residents below, seeing this scene, became confused and uncertain.
But there were also people who did not hide their doubts about Karen, who did not show the power of angel at this time.
Until... a golden glow burst out from Karen's body.
Snow-white wings spread out from behind Karen, and a golden ring appeared above Karen's head. In an instant, a pressure from the power of an angel spread out.
In just a moment, all the residents fell silent.
No one has ever doubted angels, because... this kind of powerful pressure is something that mortal deceivers can never imitate.
Uh, or rather, the existence that can produce this kind of oppressive force.
Even if he's not an angel, he's not someone to be messed with!
"I am the angel you want to see. You can call me Karen.
I will stay here, in Sweet, for a long time to come—so you can rest assured.”
Although Karen's words still had a bit of childishness, they showed a sacred and ethereal feeling under the angel's connotation.
“Unlimited delicious food is not a reward for those who get something for nothing.
During the time I was away, it seemed that you...did not return to the normal life you should have lived. Getting something for nothing is never a natural thing.
I can't bear to see your hunger—
But that doesn’t mean you never have to do things that… show your self-worth.”
The Poros looked at Karen and were also a little surprised.
In addition to the golden glow, deep within Karen's eyes, there was also a hint of orange-red, like a part of the devil that gradually merged with his divinity.
So that she will not be too compassionate and merciful, but also will not fall into the evil path.
To be precise, Karen at this moment has become somewhat...
More like a human.
“Observe the ways of the ant, and learn from it. It has no leader, no officer, no king, yet it prepares its food in the summer and gathers its grain in the harvest.
If you are unwilling to contribute, unwilling to work, unwilling to create something, unwilling to help others...
You are not qualified to enjoy God’s grace!
Our world is currently teetering on the brink of an abyss. I don't want to see anyone, out of greed, inciting, attacking, and destroying others at this moment in time."
As he spoke, a hint of orange-red appeared in the depths of Karen's golden pupils.
This was not a crazy and distorted murderous intent, but it carried a chilling majesty, under such circumstances.
Whether it is a saint or an ordinary resident.
They all felt as if their hearts were suddenly strangled by an invisible hand, compatible with the sacred feeling of the angel's golden light, and all of them showed a sense of surrender.
The residents who had just argued with Saint No. 3 were now trembling all over.
Fear of suffering "divine punishment" from angels.
"However, as long as I remain in the Plenty Plains, no one will die of famine—I can guarantee that."
The red light in Karen's eyes faded and turned into pure gold again.
Her voice returned to its soothing and gentle tone.
On the other side, the Poro not far behind raised his claws, and in front of him, a magic crystal engraved with complex runes and a white feather of Karen slowly flew up.
They blended together, and the crystal emitted a bright light.
The power of angels recharges the magic array that has lost some of its energy.
Behind Karen, the cracked candy castle began to rapidly repair itself. The cracks on the surface disappeared, and the slightly collapsed cake ceiling, as well as the traces of fractures left during the battle between the Poro and the Gluttonous Witch, gradually recovered...
The dust on the surface of the candy castle was cleared away, and the candies and cakes on the surface became shiny again.
Combined with the holy light all over Karen's body - it was like a miracle of salvation!
"As expected... the blessing has returned!"
A resident in the crowd took out half a loaf of bread from his pocket.
The cut surface of the bread is recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye!
All the residents and saints who saw this scene no longer had any doubts.
"Thank you, angel, for your blessing!"
Following the lead of a saint, all the residents and saints knelt down and worshiped.
“Be kind-hearted, heaven is for the kind-hearted.
Although there is no hunger here, you should not forget it, and do not be bound by the desire for food and drink. You need to create, think, and do more things that are more meaningful to you - instead of..."
Karen was silent for a moment. In a trance, she thought of the devil's crazy words before his death, "Instead of really waiting for the end of the world in idling."
……
Candy Castle, the center, the secret room.
"Okay, in this case, you only need to inject angelic power into it to maintain the magic array of the Fertile Plains."
The Poro breathed a sigh of relief and removed his claws.
The last carved crystal flew into the air and connected with the other crystals, emitting a regular magical light.
On the side, Karen stared carefully at the rising and falling crystals.
After a while, he lowered his head again, reflecting the magic book in his hand, and nodded, "Well, I understand. Thank you, Mr. Poro!"
"You're welcome. I don't want to see...such a miraculous plain disappear just like that."
The Poro shook his head and glanced at Karen.
When the Gluttonous Witch designed the magic array, there were quite a few parts that used the power of angels, which allowed the entire array to possess such great power.
Now, only Karen can use the power of angels to continue to control this magic formation.
"However, after Lake and I leave, you will have to learn the Gluttonous Witch's magic on your own to maintain the magic circle and fill in other functions."
Poro looked at the magic notebook in Karen's hand and asked, "Ms. Karen, is your angel power... still sufficient?"
Previously, in addition to stealing Karen's power, the Gluttonous Witch also used the poison of faith to guide the faith of the civilians of the Fertile Plains in order to strengthen her own angelic power.
But now, Karen doesn't use this method.
And supporting such a miracle obviously requires a lot of energy!
"It's ok."
Karen shook his head and said, "I will try my best to control the efficiency of the magic array and the effect of the food.
Let the people in the fertile plains not die of hunger, nor waste due to excess, and indulge in pleasure."
"Are you going to stay here forever?"
Lake also asked, "Using angelic power for free, dedicating it to more and more people?"
"Angels, isn't that what it's supposed to be like?"
Karen answered without hesitation, and then his expression became a little gloomy, "Angel power can be deformed into the power of the red dancing shoes, and the power accumulated by the red dancing shoes for nearly a hundred years can also be transformed into my angel power.
So, I should be able to hold on for a while.
The red dancing shoes and the dancing plague caused countless disasters and human deaths.
And this pair of dancing shoes originally came from my body. They were made from my cut-off feet and are also a part of me. I will not escape from their sins.
Whether as an angel or to atone for sins...
I don’t want the Fertile Plains, a place so similar to heaven, to disappear just like that.”
……
A room in the Candy Castle, the room where the two lived when they were saints.
"Boom boom boom——"
Lake opened the door and outside were the veterans Invi and Dans, who were also with Hansel and Gretel.
"Thank you for saving me along with Invi."
Dans looked at Lake and Poro, bowed slightly, and performed an elegant and standard court etiquette.
After coming out of the Dancing Abyss, the last part of Dans's consciousness was restored. The abnormally distorted energies in Invi and Dans' bodies also disappeared, just like the Poro's.
Fortunately, there was no irreversible damage to the body.
"You're welcome, Miss Dans. No matter who it is, they all want to save the world..."
Lake nodded and responded with a smile.
Then, the veteran Invi also forced a smile on his weathered face.
Then he began to explain why he and Dans had come.
"So, brother Invi, are you here to say goodbye?"
Poro and Lake nodded, but they had both expected this.
"Yeah, I'm so sorry. I originally wanted to... go with you guys. After all, you guys helped me."
Invi's face was filled with a hint of apology. He bowed again and said, "But after the Wild Dancer disappeared, the energy in my body was gone. Now, my body functions...
I'm afraid I can't be of more help."
Poro looked at the wrinkles on the veteran's face. Without the blessing of the Wild Dancer's energy, he was just an ordinary retired soldier.
It is obviously too much to ask him to face more extraordinary opponents.
Not to mention…
Lake also noticed that after Dans, who was beside the old soldier, regained her senses, the love in her eyes when she looked at the old soldier became even stronger.
At the same time, there is a hint of worry.
"It's okay, Invi, you can finally have a good rest."
Lake smiled and spoke.
And Poro also bared his teeth and smiled at Hansel and Gretel, saying:
"You two, when you're staying in Sweet, remember to listen to Mr. Inve and Miss Dans. Got it?"
"Yeah, we will."
Hansel took his sister's hand and nodded firmly.
Although his face is young, he has an indescribable maturity.
"Uh, Mr. Poro, and... Lake."
At this time, Invi scratched his head again, and he held out some invisible things. Poro and Lake looked at his hands that seemed to be empty, as if they understood something.
"And this invisibility cloak, keep it. I probably won't need it anymore. Please take care on your journey!"
He said solemnly.
Lake was stunned for a moment, then took it solemnly. The moment she touched it, she felt as if she had picked up a pool of gauze-like water, with a soft and cool texture.
And the moment the veteran moved his hands away, Lake could sense the outline of the invisibility cloak in his hands.
"Thank you, Mr. Invi."
Lake understood the importance of such a treasure. She nodded and said solemnly, "We will use it well!"
In the chest, the heart of the forest still emits a soft, vibrant green light.
The fragrance of the food was carried away by the forest breeze, and the fertile plains were gradually covered by the trees, but the journey ahead was far from over.
There are many fairy tales.
