Witch, don't be so lazy

It's dangerous, but there's no way to escape.

The invisible shock alone was enough to make him unable to even struggle. He could only watch helplessly as the other party approached closer and closer, watching as the claws that were countless times larger than his entire pigeon suddenly rose up and fell like a mountain -

"...Xiao Hei, don't bully Yuan Gugu!"

As the silver-haired girl shouted loudly in dissatisfaction, the strange black cat immediately stopped its movements and stayed where it was very obedient, like a loyal guard.

And at the same time.

The little white dove also flapped its wings excitedly and flew towards the little maid. No, she couldn't call her "little maid" anymore, otherwise it would be too rude.

Although they didn't speak the same language, he was not blind and had enough intelligence to see that as time went by, the little maid and the emperor became closer and closer. However, there was always some invisible barrier that made her appear very restrained most of the time.

However, it didn't know what happened last night. Anyway, after they went out and came back, the two of them seemed to have broken through some barriers and their relationship became much closer.

They could even lie on the same blanket, immersed in studying a thick book, and from time to time they would create some strange movements and summon different lights and shadows.

There are some things that the little white dove does not understand, but it can understand that if it continues to develop and develop, maybe it won’t be long before it can change its name to “My Lady Imperial Concubine”.

If I could show more and hold on to my friends in time, wouldn't my future life be happier?!

Unfortunately.

Before it could fly over excitedly, with the sound of pages turning, a new light and shadow distorted in the air, revealing a woman in a white robe whose face could not be seen and whose body was covered with holy light.

The moment she folded her hands and bowed her head in prayer, the sound of flapping wings rang out around her.

Something that I will never forget has appeared.

Black feathers, scarlet eyes, a pointed beak, sharp claws, a misty black air, a terrifying aura...

"Goo!!!"

Seeing the evil black birds that had abused it, the little white dove almost subconsciously let out a cry of fear and anger. It raised its wings high, looking ferocious as if it was determined to take revenge.

Then, its chubby body turned in the air very smoothly and went directly into an antique bottle. Unfortunately, because it was too round, its two little claws kicked for a long time but still couldn't push itself in.

"...Cowardly pigeon, when did you make it so fat? Don't feed it so much next time, it looks like it's going to turn into a ball!"

An Ke couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

"Don't call it that round, it's just a little bulgy."

Feiman pouted.

Because that was the little pet given to her by Miss White Snake, so she must have taken great care of it on a daily basis, and its round head and body were so cute.

"Well, but if you don't like it, you can let Blackie and the bad birds chase it. The more you move around, the thinner it will be."

Feiman stared at Anke cautiously, then thought for a moment and looked down at herself.

Fortunately, I am not fat. In fact, because I have been struggling to collect stories for some time, I have no appetite at all and seem to have lost some weight.

Perhaps sensing the little coward's actions and thoughts, Lord An Ke spoke directly:

"Forget about the fat pigeon. Feiman could be rounder. It would be cuter."

Although it is good now, if it is longer, the face will be softer and a little fleshy, and it will look better in white stockings.

"Hey, I'm really cute now!"

Feiman first pretended to be dissatisfied and snorted, feeling both happy and annoyed.

I was happy because I felt that Miss White Snake was always as attentive as ever and was willing to pay attention to me.

The trouble is that I discovered something very strange.

——After confessing my true feelings, the distance between me and Miss White Snake became closer, but besides the feeling of security and happiness, some strange and tangled thoughts seemed to pop up from time to time.

You will become more concerned about the other person, have more thoughts, and pay attention to many details...

These things are sweet, intoxicating, blissful, yet also slightly torturous, like subtle poisons.

Feiman now seemed to vaguely understand why the colorless and tasteless "love potion" was also called "love poison".

The names the pharmacists gave were more appropriate than you might imagine.

"Yes, I didn't deny it. I used Gengla."

Miss Anke pinched the little maid's face first, then returned to the topic.

"Your abilities are quite impressive. You can record stories and reproduce summons. No wonder you dare to call yourself Miss Fairy Tale~"

She looked at the black cat in the room, the praying figure, and the ten black starlings circling in the sky.

These three should need no further introduction.

The former is the guarding black cat, and the others are the princess and her starling.

This is the ability that Feiman possesses——

【Fairy Tale Creation】.

As long as you spend enough magic power, you can reproduce the protagonists of the story recorded in the pages of the book in advance, summon their shadows, and use their abilities.

Note that this is not about directly mastering the corresponding magic, but more about outlining the situation in the story in some way.

For example, a black cat.

In Anke's opinion, this thing is part of the treasure and cannot be considered a spell.

When the guard was interrogated, he explained clearly how the spell he had obtained controlled the copper bottle, and then used the bottle to amplify and control the black cat.

But for Feiman, she can directly summon the black cat and then command it, which shows that it is essentially a creation that is completely subordinate to Feiman.

The princess's blackbird is similar.

Feiman did not master the intermediate spell called "Twelve Starlings", nor did she know "Mother's Mercy", but she could indeed achieve a similar effect through "Fairy Tale Creation".

of course.

This is just similar, not completely identical to the original.

Perhaps due to the limitation of rank, after a night of testing, they found that this ability did have many limitations.

First of all, the popularity of the story and characters will have a profound impact on the production effect, and the final effect will be directly reflected in the appearance of the summoned creature.

The difference between the fairy tale black cat and the guard black cat is like the difference between Mimikyu and Pikachu, they are a bit similar, but fake at first glance;

The Black Starling looks almost identical, and its abilities aren't bad either. Whether it's stealth, perception, reconnaissance, or attack, it feels just as good as the original, except...

"Can it be integrated?"

An Ke frowned as he looked at the flocks of birds that were hovering around.

"No, because there are only ten."

Feiman shook her head. The quantity was not enough, or rather, her fairy tale magic could only be reproduced to this level.

Only by gathering twelve of them at once can they fuse into an angelic phantom.

"Without the most powerful fusion, it suddenly turned from a powerful mid-level spell into an ordinary, weak mid-level spell. The same should be true for Mother's Mercy, which has been weakened."

An Ke pursed her lips. "That means Fireside Chat-level stories aren't worth using as a main skill. They're good for dealing with certain situations."

The spread of stories is of course divided into different levels. The Adventurer's Guild and the Bards' Association in the current world once developed a system of spreading the story, which can also be understood as legend and reputation.

From "streamside whispers" that were only spread in individual villages and towns, to "fireside chats" worthy of being spread across cities by travelers and talked about by adventurers, to "frontispiece verses" that were printed on paper and sold by caravans between cities, and then to the "echoes of the statue" that were built to make the entire area aware of them, the reputation and fame of the great hero Surtur should be at this level. If it goes any higher, it will be legend and epic.

Although Anke didn't know the details of the classification of these levels, it didn't prevent her from introducing them to Feiman and helping her sort out the stories in the "Fairy Tale Collection".

There are many stories included in Xiao Shuang Bao, but according to the classification, only four or five of them can reach the "statue echo", which are the most famous princesses and princes in the history of the fairy tale kingdom.

For example, the Sleeping Beauty who left behind the Crystal Palace, the mermaid princess who used her beautiful singing voice to guide the people to unite, and the giant prince who fought the dragon for ten days and ten nights...

Their achievements were so great that even after countless years, they still have a very high reputation in the hearts of the people of the kingdom.

The "Title Page Verse" level will mostly be given to those strong people in the Fairy Tale Kingdom who are still active, such as Mr. Armor and Rapunzel. They have high reputations in their respective areas and are also famous enough in the entire Fairy Tale Kingdom.

Guardians and fairies can only be classified as "fireside chats" at the level of their stories, and only a small number of creatures and bards know their stories.

It is worth mentioning that the princes and princesses replaced by Tokaé and Tali should have had a reputation that could reach the level of "frontispiece verses", but because they had been dormant for too long, their stories were not dramatic enough and their contributions were not great enough to make the situation in the fairy tale kingdom remembered for a long time. They were gradually submerged in the long river of history and fell to the level of "fireside chats".

After all, every generation has its own idols. Whether in the real world or in the fairy tale island, it is extremely difficult to become famous, especially to remain famous for a long time.

Of course, due to Tokaé's actions in recent days, his reputation has spread rapidly, and it seems that he has slowly returned to the "Title Page Verses", which is another matter.

If you pay attention, you will find that the stories and characters above are all from the fairy tale kingdom, and do not involve dark forests and wilderness.

There is nothing we can do about this.

Because the intelligent creatures in those two places belong to different ethnic groups, most of them do not speak the same language, and they fight each other all year round. Coupled with the savagery of Warcraft and the lack of a superpower that can rule for a long time, it is impossible to build a civilization that is large enough and long enough.

Therefore, the popularity of their characters is almost at the level of "Whispers by the Stream" and "Night Chats by the Fireside".

The only one who can reach the "Title Page Verse" is the witch.

Feiman can cast the same "confusion", an intermediate spell of the Chaos School that can make people dazed. Combined with potions and mycelial parasitism, this is the method used by Sinefe to control the monster army.

Unfortunately, the magic mirror is not a second-level item.

The summoned magic mirror is far inferior to the original one. Although it can also locate and spy on the current status of an object, it consumes a lot of magic power and can only be used once. The range is only about five kilometers, and it cannot cover almost the entire dark forest like the original one.

"Ok."

Fei Man nodded obediently, closed the fairy tale collection, yawned slightly, and asked with blinking eyes,

“Is this ability very powerful?”

The huge black stuffed cat, the silhouette of the holy princess, and the noisy flock of birds have disappeared.

They can't last long.

"It's amazing, even a little outrageous."

An Ke couldn't help but click his tongue. "Even with the time limit and a certain distance from the real master, this is still an extraordinary ability."

Just one point is that it does not require a long time to learn, and can be used just by collecting stories. This is completely beyond the scope of conventional magic.

If this wasn't the Fairy Tale Island, and if it weren't for the fact that the "Fairy Tale Collection Spirit" ~ "Er Shi Babashi" in Feiman's hand might be a high-level treasure, Anke would even think that this was the so-called "power".

"Speaking of which, Fei Man, you really didn't receive any hints, didn't you feel that there was any task to be completed in your spiritual dreams?"

An Ke thought about it and lowered her voice.

"No."

Fei Man held the book, trying to open her beautiful sea-blue eyes, confused and curious.

"This is the third time Miss White Snake has asked the same question. Why do you ask this?"

...Because the spirit world reminded me that there's a new person in the neutral camp. You're my new teammate, even though none of the other characters know how to do it. I don't know if it's because of your special birth form, or if there's something special about being a bard...

But Anke didn't say these words in the end.

no way.

After all, she wasn't sure if telling the plot and people about the spiritual world tour and the real world would cause any bad consequences.

It's like explaining the three-dimensional world to a paper man - using "paper man" here does not mean to disrespect Feiman, it's just a simple statement. After all, she is indeed a creation of Fairy Tale Island.

Furthermore, if I really want to explain it, there is too much to say and it will take a long time.

It’s better to skip it.

Finally, at the end of the journey, say goodbye properly and everything is over.

Isn’t that what a “traveler” is like?

I have traveled to countless cities, seen different scenery, had impressive experiences, and met people who touched me, but in the end we will still part ways and go to different directions and futures.

This is how things are in the world. All good things must come to an end.

The only difference is that in the end some will communicate through postcards and texts, while others will leave it entirely to memories.

Fei Man naturally had no idea about Miss White Snake's inner thoughts, and she acted like a good baby who was looking forward to listening attentively.

The little coward could actually vaguely guess that Miss White Snake and Miss Mushroom probably had their own missions, such as defeating the enemy or something.

But she didn't have the courage to ask directly, for fear of violating some taboo. Aren't there often similar things in stories - they have clearly left, but still live like ordinary people, until others tell them that they are dead, and then they really die; and there are also those fairies and monsters who secretly transform into humans, and when their true identity is discovered, they run away overnight, or die.

Therefore, she could only wait and see when she could get the truth, or else she would have to slowly connect the causes of everything through her own observations.

When she heard the girl's perfunctory "Nothing" and the obvious change of subject "Let's study your abilities again", Feiman just pouted, feeling a little regretful.

"How should we research this? Those warm things have become much weaker, and I just drank the last bottle of recovery potion. It seems that I can't summon the characters in the story anymore."

Feiman answered weakly.
