Chapter 14 [Grimm’s Travels] and [Witch Rolin] (for further reading)
The first day of the new year in 1005 of the holy calendar.
Since the Rock Bear Knight and Frostwolf Knight were attacked, some evil spirit attacks have been reported from time to time everywhere, but it is not known whether it is true or not.
Responding to the frequent attacks of evil spirits in various places recently, the Church of Holy Radiance claimed that a bishop of the church has developed a holy water that is extremely effective against [evil spirits]: "Holy Light No. 1".
You only need to take it once every seven days, one bottle at a time, and you will be able to prevent all evils from invading after one month.
Once the medicinal holy water was released, it was priced at ten gold coins per bottle, and the first phase of 3,000 bottles of the potion was sold out within a week, and it even achieved an astonishing... zero negative reviews.
Regarding this behavior, Li Wei said that the nobles in this world are really easy to deceive.
However, it is also understandable, since I am from the modern world, I naturally don't understand these people's fanatical belief in the church.
"Since that incident, the probability of this evil spirit appearing has become higher and higher."
"Wizard, wizard, how can I find traces of the wizard?"
Li Wei was rummaging through some books made of parchment in his father's study room. So far, this world has neither papermaking nor printing.
So, even in an aristocratic family like my father, the collection of books in the family is very limited.
Ultimately, nothing.
Knight Fred came to the study in a hurry, and said to Levi with an excited face: "Master, I brought you a birthday present that you can never imagine."
Levi was also curious that the extremely calm Fred Knight could be so excited. He saw Fred Knight ordering his men to push a cage with wheels and a curtain on it.
Knight Fred lifted the curtain, and three furry guys were curled up in a corner at the moment.
"Bear?" Li Wei looked strange.
In front of him were three bears the size of calves.
Why did Knight Fred send himself three bears?
"Master, this is no ordinary bear, this is the cub of the Great Northern Bear."
"What? The Great Bear in the North?" Levi was surprised.
He has heard of this thing, this is a beast that can be found everywhere as a formal knight after adulthood.
"Last night, a peasant woman discovered that something had sneaked into her yard in the middle of the night and ate her chickens. Then she found this little guy. The little guy wanted to run away, but was caught by the militiamen patrolling at night. Don't It looks like a baby, but it took a lot of effort to catch it."
Knight Fred took out one of the black and white variegated bears, and pinched the back of its fateful neck. The bear bared its teeth and claws, trying to attack Fred, but it was in vain.
This little bear still has chicken feathers left on its mouth. It's hard to imagine that such a small guy will become the famous and vicious bear of the North in the future.
The other two cubs whimpered, as if worried about their brother.
These three cubs are not fat, but for the size of a bear, it can be said that they are skinny.
It can be seen that they have been hungry for a long time. If they were not discovered by Fred Knight, they might starve to death within a few days.
"Where's their mother? They won't follow the cub's smell to trouble us." Li Wei was a little worried. Now he is no match for the giant bear in the north.
"Don't worry, it looks like their mother died or left them long ago. Generally, this is the hibernation period for bears. If they are not staying in the cave at this time, it means that something happened to their mother."
"If the cubs of the northern giant bear were placed on the black market, each would be worth more than a hundred gold coins. Many princes and nobles wanted to tame these beasts from childhood, and when they grew up, they would be equivalent to owning a powerful knight-level beast." pet."
"However, I suggest that we raise them ourselves. The cubs of the Great Northern Territory Bear are rare, but it is more expensive to feed them."
Knight Fred was in a good mood and tried his best to persuade Li Wei to keep the three bears. .
"Okay, let's raise it, put it in the castle first, and send some people to take good care of it." Li Wei came to the three little bears, looked at the three little guys carefully, and said: "This gray one is called Little Gray , the white one is called Xiaobai, and the mixed-haired one is called...Little Fatty, who makes it the fattest."
Li Wei asked his servants to put the cubs in a good place. These little guys will take at least seven years to come in handy, and this kind of wild ones don't know if they can be kept alive, so he can't pin his hopes on these foreign things. Your own strength is the most important.
Sending the screaming bear away, Li Wei looked at Fred Knight and asked, "Your Excellency Fred, what about the books about wizards you found there?"
Fred smiled and said, "You really care about wizards. Don't worry, I've already sent someone to look for them. They are basically biographies of some rangers, or some novels. They can't be taken as real. Here I am I found a book on hand, I asked for it from a wandering trader, it records a legend about wizards, you can read it."
Knight Fred handed over a roll of sheepskin, very simple and shabby.
"Grimm's Travels".
The author is a person who calls himself "Green". Obviously, Green is a pseudonym, but no one knows who it is.
Li Wei returned to the room, opened the travel book, and read it from the beginning.
Green stated that he was a traveling businessman, and the content of his travel notes was not much. It mainly recorded some anecdotes that Green heard during the journey, and one of them was about wizards.
"In the 847th year of the holy calendar, on the sea east of Stormwind City in the Emerald Kingdom, the merchant ship I was on was wrecked due to a storm. I held a piece of wood and prayed to the loving father of heaven, praying to survive this disaster, maybe It was my pious belief that touched the loving father of heaven. I survived and was washed by the waves to an unnamed island. I don’t know where it is. I was so hungry and thirsty that I searched for food everywhere on the island, and then I saw Many magical creatures that subverted my imagination."
"There is a three-legged toad with a beautiful face on its back; a swan with six pairs of wings, holy and beautiful, just like the twelve-winged angel beside the loving father in the legend, and a red one that can run. Mushroom, hell, that guy can speak human language, and he tore a piece of meat from himself and fed it to me. After eating the mushroom, I fell asleep in a daze, and vaguely remembered a beautiful lady sitting next to me ..."
"I can't remember what happened later. When I woke up, I had already returned to a fishing boat. The fishermen said they found me floating on a board and saved me. I think I may have encountered the legendary monster. Wizards, only wizards can research and create some strange creatures. Moreover, I found that after I ate the flesh and blood of that mushroom, the stubborn diseases that had troubled me for many years disappeared. I am younger and stronger than before, this is for sure It was the power of magic, that witch saved me! Later, I made a lot of money in business, and wanted to go to that island to find that beautiful witch, but that island seemed to disappear out of nowhere. To no avail, until now my hair is gray."
"In order to go to sea, I became a pauper again. My relatives and friends left me. They said I was crazy, but I knew that I didn't. I really saw the wizard. I regrouped and sold the mansion in Wangcheng , I am determined to go to sea for the eighth time. Before going to sea this time, I wrote down everything I experienced and published a hundred volumes at my own expense. If I did not find the legendary wizard, I hope that people who read this book can Keep looking."
"Oh, yes, I vaguely remember that in the conversation between the red mushroom and the beautiful witch, the mushroom called the witch... Ms. Rollin."
