Witch, don't be so lazy

Damn it, it's so fun!

After listening to Encore, I was a little speechless. Is this a fairy tale for children?!

But she suddenly remembered something and turned her head to look at Egyptian Momo:

"Sister Momo, do you know Fairy Tale Island?"

"Of course I know. It's such a famous thing."

Momo blinked, "Xiao Anke asked this... Maybe you want a boat ticket?"

Chapter 150 Fairy Tale

"Ah."

An Ke nodded heavily and sat upright.

She looked at Momo eagerly, expecting her to take out a ticket to Fairy Tale Island and generously give it to her.

"Hmm, as expected, everyone wants a ticket after hearing about the Fairy Tale Island. Momo wanted one too, but unfortunately, even after she reached Rank Three, the island still showed no signs of opening. It wasn't until about nine months ago that new tickets started appearing in various regions, sparking rounds of open and covert fighting. The topic has once again become extremely heated among mages..."

Momo tilted her head. "The North did get a ticket, but it was already owned by someone when I left Pandegar. If I remember correctly, it was someone from the Flower Crown Family."

Fine.

An Ke pursed her lips, but she didn't feel that surprised.

After all, such a precious item must have attracted many people's attention. It was probably already distributed after internal negotiations, and it had nothing to do with her.

Instead, I focused on something mentioned in another sentence.

"The Flower Crown Family...are they descendants of the Flower Sage?"

An Ke asked.

"Yes, Her Majesty Sesinica's people are flower demons living in the Crown Poison Swamp. More than half of the natural school mages in the tower are from the Crown family, or are students trained by them. Therefore, even after the fall of Her Majesty the Sage, they still have a very strong influence in the tower."

It was Xiao Hui who spoke. "I heard that this ticket was intended for a young member of the Huaguan family who was highly recommended. At the time, they were competing with the Touré family for it, but Naji Touré advanced to the second rank early to participate in the exchange competition, so the ticket naturally fell into their hands."

The little gecko paused, swung his tail, and then changed the subject, looking at the girl and smiling,

"Come to think of it, they seem to have entered the same class as Miss Anke. Oh, actually, logically, Miss Lorena should have been included as well. But Miss Lorena is special. She broke so many records. She reached the second level at the age of twelve two years old, so she entered the Tower Academy early."

"Miss Anke has probably seen the exchange competition, right? Don't you feel strange now? You suddenly realize that you're not that far away from them. In fact, in three months, we'll all be living and studying in the same place."

“…A little bit.”

An Ke was stunned for a moment.

When she heard Xiao Hui say this, she recalled some old memories.

At that time, she was sitting in a classroom in Xueshan Town, looking at the photo stone that Teacher Mott took out. She and her classmates marveled at those ambitious and extraordinary geniuses, and envied them for the powerful spells they could cast at will.

Even though he knew he had the Tongbao and felt that his future achievements would not be bad, when An Ke looked at the genius wizard in the video, it would be a lie to say that he didn't feel a bit of envy and jealousy in his heart.

After all, she didn't dare to say that she could enter the Tower Academy at that time. She thought the script she got was -

"She barely made it into the most mediocre first-tier university, met several classmates with complicated but remarkably talented backgrounds, won the favor of a down-and-out leader, and gradually became a leader of the new class. She embarked on adventures with her companions, representing the academy in the ranking tournaments, and finally, she defeated the prodigy of the High Tower and told the people of the entire North that she had helped the academy achieve unprecedented glory. Miss Anke is the glory of the commoner mage!"

It feels like just saying this brings out a familiar flavor.

Such plots have been included in the works of bards and best-selling books, and the people in the North seem to like them quite a lot.

It’s a pity that there is no ranking competition in the North, and no one is stupid enough to compete openly with the Tower Academy. After all, the legendary wizard above him has a position in the Tower Academy.

But Encore did have some emotions.

On the one hand, I found that after more than half a year, I had become someone who was once completely unimaginable. Those geniuses I admired were not only demystified, but I even had dealings with them several times, especially the cute little lamb.

Although she still doesn't know how to cast those powerful spells that seem so terrifying, to be honest, none of them can compare to the power of the "Flame Demon's Fallen Star" she used yesterday.

On the other hand, as his knowledge grew, An Ke looked back and suddenly discovered many things that he had not figured out at the time.

For example, Naji Touré used water magic to perform superb sword skills of furious tides and could also transform into a nine-headed sea monster.

The former is one of the signature tactics of the Tidecaller Legion, and the latter is closely related to the "Nine-Headed Demonic Serpent" Hydra.

And why did the newspapers suddenly publicize a previously unknown teenager, even making him as famous as Lorena at one point...

"Promoting to the second rank just to participate in the exchange competition shouldn't be simply for fame and prizes, right? Is this what the third rank means?"

Anko blinked.

"Well, a little bit. After all, the two witches have been enjoying competing with each other for a long time. Besides, the Tidecaller Corps needs to introduce a young leader, not only for the exchange group, but also for the creatures in the sea. Nagi... his transformation has never been seen before. It seems to be the result of the Tidecaller Corps' research. They are showing off a part of it on the stage of the exchange competition? Perhaps to intimidate people?"

Little Gray wasn't very sure about what he said, after all, it was an internal matter of the Azure City, but he understood one thing.

"Alas, what a pity! The ocean is likely to become chaotic again. The Wandering Sea War hasn't ended for many years, and Her Majesty Laikis just defeated the vast sea beast Leviathan a while ago. I thought it would be peaceful for a while, but... "

When this was mentioned, Momo and Anke also fell silent.

After all, they had all seen the changes in the giant abyss serpent and knew that the sea had changed again. The seal of the "Fallen Water God" Scylla had weakened.

Dachis sent the Cult of Disaster to the interior of the North to cause trouble. This could be a revenge for the previous defeat or a naked provocation.

The once fragmented Netherworld forces seem to be making a comeback, and this time they are much stronger.

"Well, everything will be reported anyway, and the Azure City's observation of the ocean is much better than ours. Maybe they already know about it, and it's not our turn to worry about what happens next."

Momo stretched slowly, outlining her beautiful curves. After stretching, she poked Anke's little face.

"Children, don't worry about so many things, just concentrate on listening to the story~"

"...but it's quite boring. It's worth listening to except for the musical accompaniment."

Anke puffed out his cheeks like a little pufferfish.

After the bard finished telling the strange fairy tale, he started talking about some boring things, all of which were some bloody love affairs of the nobility.

It's not even as fun as playing games with Momo.

Wherever the restless finger pokes it, the little pufferfish will flatten the side of its face and puff up the other side.

Unfortunately, as a first-level pufferfish, An Ke was too weak. He could barely dodge at first, but after he became tired, he was bullied and stabbed seven or eight times in a row.

Not wanting to continue humiliating herself, Enke stopped puffing up her cheeks and decisively changed the subject.

"Sister Momo, I suddenly thought of a question. Do you find some of the stories sung by bards very strange? For example, the fairy tale about the black dog and the baked pie just now. It's completely illogical, and there's even a hint of weirdness between the lines."

"They recite these things, but the audience must be very small, right? Adults tend to like melodramatic, pornographic, and dark stories, while children prefer bright, beautiful, and interesting ones. You can tell from the applause and tips. So why don't they delete those stories? Don't they like to update and iterate?"

Anko asked.

"...Because bards also have professional ethics. They need to pass on some things."

Seeing that the girl didn't want to play games with her anymore, Momo angrily withdrew her evil hand.

"Because some things cannot be captured with images, or even described directly with words or language, they can only be expressed through abstract metaphors. Stories need a certain logic, otherwise adults will scoff at them, but children can accept some nonsensical expressions."

"Momo still remembers a nursery rhyme she heard when she was little, 'Circle of Roses' - Circles, circles of roses, pockets full of bright flowers; oh! oh! We fall down petals by petals!"

"It sounds a bit confusing, but later Amo told me that this actually records one of the countless disasters that followed the ancient tree god's slumber at the end of the Laurel Dynasty, namely the Black Death that spread across the entire southern continent. The rose ring is the circular red rash that appears on the skin when the disease occurs, the pocket flower represents the custom and expectation of resisting disease, the "ouch" is the patient's wail, and collapsing, needless to say, foreshadows death."

"This is also one of the reasons why fairy tales, fables, nursery rhymes and the like exist. They are not only for educating children, but also for recording and passing on."

"Of course, no one knows whether what has been passed down through the ages is what was originally meant to be expressed. A-Mo has only ever specifically explained one song, and the others are simply for enlightenment education."

After Momo finished speaking, she seemed to suddenly think of something and spoke mysteriously.

"Little Anke~ Do you know who issues the tickets to Fairy Tale Island?"

"..."

Although she already knew the answer, Anke still tried to pretend to be confused and surprised:

"Hey, isn't this thing born naturally?"

"Of course not."

Momo raised her face proudly, and whispered into the girl's ear, "The boat tickets were distributed by the elves..."

As expected, An Ke remained calm, her attention focused on her itchy ears and the pleasant scent of jasmine, until she heard the following words.

"...They're very cunning. They usually keep one of the two most powerful tickets from the Good faction, either the prince or the princess, and then randomly give away the other tickets. This way, the cards others get will never be stronger than theirs. After all, princes and princesses are the most common protagonists in fairy tales. They have very powerful skills and many preferential treatments. Their chances of winning are also the highest. Not only do they have enough energy to complete the exclusive quests, but they can also try to take on additional quests."

"As for the evil camp, you know what I mean. In fairy tales, good triumphs over evil. If you're on the evil camp, you're unlucky. Your chances of winning are generally low. You can only find a way to complete the exclusive quests and bring back the skills. That's considered a success."

Looking at Anke's confused and curious eyes, Momo and Xiaohui gave her a brief introduction to the Fairy Tale Island.

Obviously, it was a place different from the normal spiritual world tour.

Abnormalities are reflected in all aspects.

The first is multiplayer.

It is difficult to meet other wizards during the normal spiritual world tour, but when the Fairy Tale Island opens each round, a total of eight tickets are issued, including the one left by the elves, four for the good camp and four for the evil camp.

This means that every time the Fairy Tale Island parade begins, there are basically eight people participating.

Then there are the differences in the cruise missions.

Normally, as Encore had experienced, a cruise mission consists of one necessary mission and three additional missions.

But Fairytale Island is different.

It is a faction mission, an exclusive mission, an additional, or ultimate mission.

The so-called faction mission is the confrontation between the good camp and the evil camp. The winning side can be promoted, but the losing side will not be retaliated, because "every fairy tale has a happy ending."

The exclusive task of Bashan Mio Culong Qijiu V (eight) is determined by the identity of the ticket. As long as the task is completed, you can take out a spell granted by the identity.

Momo also gave an example here. For example, if you get a ticket for "thief" or "killer", you will most likely get a few spells of the School of Shadows temporarily when you enter the Fairy Tale Island, completing the exclusive mission. Even if the lineup mission fails, you can freely choose to take one of them away.

This is also the origin of the rumor that "Fairy Tale Island is said to be able to obtain spells that have never been learned out of thin air."

It’s hard to say about the additional tasks, because every time a new round of Fairy Tale Island is opened, the additional tasks will become more difficult, and no one has been able to complete them for many years.

Especially when the rank continues to decline.

"...What does it mean to lower your rank?"

An Ke asked.

"I heard from Amo that Fairy Tale Island initially offered a Spirit World Tour that allowed Level 4 to advance to Legendary. Hmm, but that was at the end of the Laurel Dynasty. With the subsequent rounds of openings, it could only allow Level 3 to advance to Level 4, and then it slowly dropped. Now it can only allow Level 1 to advance to Level 2."

Momo pursed her lips. "The strength of your role is determined by your rank on Fairytale Island. Now, your character is only rank two, and the spells you get from completing exclusive quests are also mid-level spells. Well, if you fail the faction quest and don't advance successfully, you'll only get low-level spells at the specialist level."

“…So powerful?”

An Ke couldn't help but be surprised.

After all, if you think about it carefully, before the Fairy Tale Island starts to lose rank, wouldn't it be possible to cultivate legends steadily, and once promoted, you can get forbidden spells to ensure combat effectiveness.

"Yes, because its predecessor, the Ancient Scroll, was the legacy of the Laurel Dynasty. However, it seems that the Ancient Scroll was damaged, and the elves of the Bauhinia Dynasty built Fairy Tale Island based on it."

Momo shook her head.

"I just don't know why the elves wanted to open it. After all, the Ancient Scroll was once the most precious treasure of the Laurel Royal Family, and outsiders couldn't have access to it. But Fairy Tale Island has been open to the public for nearly a thousand years... I asked Lord Kumo, but he wasn't too sure either. He only said it was an extremely long ceremony."

Xiao Hui added from the side.

...Is this the overlord that once ruled the present world? How could the elves of the Laurel Dynasty be so powerful? How did they fall?

Was it Solomon and those terrible demons? Or was it the slumber and betrayal of the gods?

Yet the elves still revere the Moon Goddess. Don't they know that the Dark Moon King is the incarnation of the Moon Goddess? Even the old man knows!

History is always shrouded in mystery.

Anke couldn't help but think a lot for a moment, and she didn't know whether she could solve some of her confusions when she entered the Moonlight Glade again.

Chapter 152 Screen (Five Thousand)

The bright moon hangs high in the sky and the night is quiet.

The city of Asda was calmer than the previous two days, probably because the good news about the ruins of Taiqir had spread completely, and people were finally not so uneasy.

Although they still gathered in pubs and cafes of all sizes, and occasionally some were seen busy stocking up on goods, they had generally returned to their daily rhythm, only keen to talk about the changes in the city and the terrible war, and discuss when martial law would be lifted.
