Why didn't he strangle her to death when she was on a vine?

I really regret it.

……

Soon, Aesop walked out of the room holding a fresh flower, amidst the puzzled looks of Stank, Medori, and the others.

And Zi Teng, who had looked like she wanted to take Aesop's life before, was still waving at Aesop, telling Aesop to "cultivate it well." She even wanted to say more to Aesop, but was grabbed by Zita and taken into the room, and then the door was slammed shut.

Aesop stood outside the door, looked at the flowers in his hand, then looked at the others, and couldn't help sighing.

"The local dryads are so welcoming."

……

"What on earth did you come back for?"

Zita looked at his "dear" sister with an expressionless face.

"Of course I came back to see you." Zi Teng answered absentmindedly, "I sensed something was wrong with you, so I came here immediately."

"You didn't act like you cared about me just now." Zita said through gritted teeth, "What do you mean your petals are more tender than mine? Your pistil is more beautiful than mine?!"

"Ah, so this is the point?"

"Of course not!" Zita was angry. "You know what I'm talking about!"

"There's nothing much to say, sister. This is your problem." Zi Teng frowned. "There's such a person in your store, and you didn't tell me? And you want to eat alone?"

"What did I eat alone?"

"Haha, Jel and Stank told me everything." Zi Teng pointed at Zita, "You deliberately let him live here, deliberately let him play with your flowers, and use your flowers to absorb his magic power!"

"Nonsense! Why would I do that!?"

Zi Teng sneered: "We all grew from the same vine, so there's no need to pretend, sister. Your expression is always the same when you lie."

Hearing Zi Teng say this, Zita's face couldn't help but blush, but she quickly explained, "I really didn't have that thought. At first, I just felt that his magic was very pure and very comfortable. I had never come into contact with such magic before, so I let him stay. As for what happened later, it really has nothing to do with me."

Seeing that Zita's expression was correct, Shido began to believe what she said was true, but she was still very excited: "Where did he come from?"

"I don't know," Zita asked. "My strength isn't as strong as yours, so I can't see much. Jer hasn't told me either, so I don't know how powerful he is to warrant you handing over the Heart Flower."

The "Heart Flower" is the most important flower on the tree demon, growing in the heart.

It is completely connected to the dryad's five senses and the source of its magic power, and its importance is self-evident.

"Of course I can't miss this opportunity. Besides, I have more than one Heart Flower now. Even if it's completely damaged, it doesn't matter... At least I won't lose my life." Zi Teng waved her hand and said, "Anyway, the risk is worth taking... Do you know what I sense about him?"

"what?"

"secret."

Zita thought for a moment and tentatively asked, "Laundry detergent?"

"Laundry detergent, you idiot." Zi Teng was speechless. "I'm talking about the mystery of magic."

Zita shook his head, "I don't understand."

"That's why I asked you to study hard." Zi Teng sighed, and then explained, "Do you know what is above magic?"

"do not know."

"It's the arcane," Zi Teng said seriously. "It's the pinnacle of magic, something that can change the rules. Humans, a short-lived species, rely on arcane magicians to survive as winners in times of war."

Zita's eyes widened. "You said Aesop is an arcanist?"

"That's not the case." Zi Teng shook her head and said, "What kind of arcanist would visit a brothel?"

"...This is not a dream shop."

"Almost." Zi Teng sat down, crossed her long legs, and pondered. "He's not an arcanist, but he has a connection with them, so I can sense that mysterious magic from him. An arcanist's magic is the truest and purest magic in the world. Even a little bit of it will be of great benefit to anyone who can touch it... You should be very clear about this, sister."

Facing Shido's questioning gaze, Zita turned his head away with a guilty look.

Indeed... arcane... very comfortable.

"Hehehe, that's why I want to give him my 'Heart Flower'!" Zi Teng snorted twice and said, "If I could also get a little arcane power, then~"

"Aren't you afraid of what he might do to your 'Heart Flower'?" asked Zita.

"What will he do?" Zi Teng said, "Sister, you haven't forgotten that we tree demons are the best at seeing through people's hearts, right? Especially with my strength, I can tell whether a person is good or evil at a glance."

"...He's definitely not a bad guy." Zita said helplessly, "But he might...do something you wouldn't expect."

"What does it matter?" Zi Teng raised the corner of her mouth slightly. "He just promised me that he would treat my flowers well. You know, what humans value most is..."

Before he could finish his words, Zi Teng's face changed and he suddenly knelt on the ground, holding his lower abdomen tightly.

"What is he...doing?!" Zi Teng's pretty face was twisted, "Why...does my stomach...hurt so much?!"

On the second floor, Aesop's room.

Bang bang bang!

Aesop was planting the flowers sent by Wisteria in a flowerpot. In order to prevent the flowers from falling again, he experiencedly found a small shovel and kept patting the soil with the shovel, trying to flatten the soil.

This made Nana, who was standing by, terrified.

"Mr. Yiyisuo...Excuse me, what are you doing?"

"I'm planting flowers. These are quite pretty." Aesop said as he took photos without even looking up. "I remember reading that flower fairies are very good at nurturing plants. This is because everything about you is beneficial to plants. Even a drop of sweat contains rich nutrients... Is that true?"

"That's true..." Nana said, even more uneasy. "You mean..."

“I want to fertilize it.”

Aesop stood up and pointed at the purple flower while looking at Nana.

"give it to you."

Thirty-five, he added a picture, damn

That evening, two new evaluation guides appeared in the food and wine pavilion and were posted on the bulletin board for people to see.

Because a new appraiser had finally arrived, the customers of the food and wine kiosk all came over to see the newcomer's level, and then... they were shocked, in every sense of the word.

The first one is about the fire dragon.

Honestly, this was the first time anyone here had seen a Fire Dragon review guide. After all, it was quite a distance from the volcano, and most people here weren't fire-resistant, so even if they did visit the volcano, they wouldn't go into a Fire Dragon shop. So, seeing a newcomer actually write a Fire Dragon review was incredibly curious.

But isn’t this evaluation guide a bit... too academic?

This review guide details the physical characteristics of Charmander in human form.

"Title: Wandering Charmander Axda (I don't know where he went)"

"Although it's a fire dragon, most of its parts are the same as humans in its human form." (Nonsense, how can it be called a human form if they are not the same as humans)

"But there are still some minor differences. For example, even after becoming humanoid, the tail, horns, and scales on some parts of the body will not disappear." (Can you describe in detail which parts of the body these scales are?)

"The body's surface temperature is much higher than humans', but the temperature varies from part to part. The mouth is the hottest, and the deeper you go, the higher it gets. You can even use it to grill meat, and the meat tastes delicious." (...Are you really just grilling meat?)

"Above." (??? Above?? That's all you got?!)

After reading this review, all the customers were confused, as if they had read something, but also as if they had read nothing.

And a review makes people feel even more... interesting.

"Title: Flower Fairy's Secret Tavern (Bankrupt)"

"Although the name of the shop is the Flower Fairy's Secret Tavern, there is no taste of the flower fairy in the wine. It's all the taste of the dwarf." Some customers who have been there have changed their expressions slightly, and the not-so-good memories have flooded their minds.

"Because the grapes were trampled by the dwarves, the flavor is quite rich. The texture of the wine itself is just okay, but I'm not sure if the sourness comes from the grapes or the dwarves' feet..." (Alright, alright, stop talking.)

"There's also hallucinogens added to the wine, which might be why everyone likes it. So let me propose a hypothesis: if you drink the hallucinogen directly, then taste the dwarf's feet and graze on the grapes, would you also feel like you're drinking fine wine?" Bang! Someone had already rushed outside to vomit.

"Oh, please bring a toothpick when doing this experiment. The dwarves have denser leg hairs and more foot skin, so it might get stuck in your teeth when you taste it." With a plop, the lizardman from before suddenly fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and looked like he was about to die.

"Although I haven't tasted a dwarf's feet, I did try a flower fairy's feet. They tasted pretty good." (??? Okay, you idiot! Why didn't you elaborate on that? Why did you spend so much time on that stinky dwarf?!)

"Above." (Above your head?! Is there really nothing more?!)

These two new review guides have made many people start to question their lives, wondering what the review guides they read before really meant.

However, even so, no one said that these two reviews were bad and asked the boss to remove them. In the past, such a crappy review guide would definitely be removed immediately to avoid being an eyesore.

However, these two seemingly incomprehensible and even nauseating review guides made everyone vomit while giving thumbs up.

The only reason.

It comes with pictures, damn!

It can actually be accompanied by pictures!

This is a huge sum of money!

On the worn parchment, the expressions of Charmander and Flower Fairy are vivid and lifelike.

This is really, really, really talented!

It’s important, you must say it three times!

As a result, everyone remembered this fledgling appraiser - Aesop!

Therefore, everyone who passed by Aesop couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and kept hinting at him.

It's very exciting. Keep it up. If possible, I'd like to do something more exciting next time.

You can also... remove your stupid text and just draw the picture, wouldn't it be better?

"He actually... is actually doing this kind of thing?"

When Zi Teng saw the two evaluation guides, he felt very bad.

Zita sighed softly, "I told you everything."

"He is not an ordinary person."

"In every sense."

……

"What a success, Aesop!" Stank raised his beer glass to Aesop. "Although the process is a little hard to describe, the result is good. You have earned everyone's recognition!"

These two review guides were not the first ones written by Aesop, because Aesop's original work was completed with a magic paintbrush. That thing was too shocking and not suitable to be placed here, and the description was too academic (yes, these two articles are now the result of revisions based on the crazy suggestions of Stank and Jer).

"How do you feel, Aesop?"

Jer also held the wine glass, but when he was about to drink, he saw the wine and thought of Aesop's review of the wine. The bad memories came flooding back, and he finally put it down.

Aesop didn't have such concerns. He ate skewers and drank wine, looking quite happy. "It feels good and interesting. It's much more interesting than doing research in a high tower."

Stank and Jer looked at each other and smiled, suddenly feeling that they had a common topic with Aesop.

Hey, we are all men, what is there that we can’t understand?

"By the way, Aesop, isn't Nana your servant?" Stank pointed at Nana and asked, "Are you going to let her come out to work?"

At this moment, Nana has become one of the waiters in the food and wine kiosk, just like Medori and Klim.

Her appearance has changed a lot from before. Her long pink hair has turned blue. Aesop used magic to change it so that no one could recognize her.

"Is there any problem?" Aesop was a little confused.

"That's not a problem, is it?" Stank burped. "But don't magicians always treat their servants as their own? The magicians I've met all do this. They don't allow their servants to communicate with others, because the magician's privacy is very important."

Aesop thought about it and felt that what Stank said made sense, so he called Nana over.

"You!" Aesop pointed at Nana.

Nana was startled: "What, what happened?"

“You can’t wash other people’s socks.”

Stank, Jer, and Nana: "..."

Okay, it’s still a little hard to understand.
