"I don't know either."
"Is it tasty?"
"Let me try it."
Edward peeled off the peel, tore off a small piece of white flesh and stuffed it into his mouth, then his face was full of enjoyment: "Wow! It's delicious, pure sweetness without sourness, the juice bursts in my mouth as soon as it enters my mouth."
Lilith jumped up and down on the spot: "Let Miss Lilith have a taste! Let Miss Lilith have a taste!"
She picked up the fruit, tore off a large piece and stuffed it into her mouth with great anticipation. The next second, her face wrinkled and tears flowed out: "Yue~ Good! Sour! That!!"
At the same time, Edward, who had been enjoying it, spit out the fruit in his mouth with a painful expression, but he was laughing happily: "Hahahaha!"
Lilith looked at him with tears in her eyes, "Edward you are a liar!"
"Ha ha ha ha."
"Ahhhhhh!"
The little guy became even angrier and was about to stuff the yellow fruit into Edward's mouth. Edward started running away and Lilith chased after him, screaming.
The chase between the two childish ghosts, one big and one small, attracted the attention of passers-by, and most of them smiled kindly.
At noon, after having a Bayam-style meal at the largest restaurant on the island, Edward bought a nautical map of the Rorsted Archipelago and found the location of Simim Island.
Since the violent sea and the corresponding spiritual world influence and overlap with each other, when traveling through the spiritual world, one can directly refer to the coordinates and positions of the navigation map and travel through the natural disasters in the spiritual world.
After determining the approximate location and how to teleport there, Edward picked up the juice and his eyes met Lilith's. She immediately turned her head and snorted.
Edward smiled and ruffled her hair, looking up and around.
I have to say that the woman selling fruit was very efficient. In just one hour, people in the restaurant had already started talking about the adventurers who had discovered ancient ruins on Changwei Island.
The story was told vividly, as if it were true. Many people were fascinated after hearing it and wanted to rush over immediately, maybe they could find some leaks.
If this continues, the news of the ancient ruins found on Changwei Island will be known to everyone before evening. Even if the Sea King of the Church of Storms knows that such rumors are most likely false, he will definitely go and take a look - after all, there are still one or two left.
This way, I can also go to Simim Island.
However, the Tarot meeting will start in more than two hours. Should I find a safe place to stay and wait until the meeting is over before going there?
Tsk, speaking of this Tarot Club, will Klein bring Lilith and Bernadette along?
"Are you done eating, Lilith?"
"I'm done."
"Chill it for me."
Edward handed the juice over, and the little guy looked incredulous: Miss Lilith is still angry with you!
But she still held the bottom of the cup obediently and used her palm to use the power of frost. Edward immediately flattered her without asking for money: "Ms. Lilith is great!"
"Yes!!"
She said subconsciously.
"Well, our Lilith is so broad-minded, she won't get angry because of a joke, right?"
Lilith quickly said, "Of course not."
"Then let's go, I'll take you on an adventure."
Edward took her little hand, and the father and daughter walked out of the restaurant together, waited until they were in a deserted place, stepped into the spirit world, and headed straight for the dark and gloomy area deep inside.
The sound of howling wind came from all directions. Even if it was just the aftermath, it made Edward feel a little cold from the depths of his soul or his bones.
He quickly turned Lilith back into cat form and stuffed her into his arms.
Compared to this cold wind, the deep lightning that flashed from time to time was more dangerous, so Edward tried to stay away from it as much as possible along the way. It usually took a few seconds or more than ten seconds to travel through the spirit world, but this time it took seven or eight minutes.
After leaving the spirit world, Edward arrived at an island that was more dilapidated and primitive than Bayam. The port here had obviously not been maintained for many years and looked very old.
There was only one small town on the island, and the faces seen around were basically indigenous people wearing local costumes. In order to avoid being too abrupt, Edward dressed himself and Lilith in local clothes, and then made their skin color and appearance become the same as those of the indigenous people.
"Huh?"
Lilith stood outside the glass window of a store, looking at her changed self inside, and was very curious: "Ms. Lilith is different from before."
"Which do you prefer?"
"Hmm."
She thought for a moment and said, "I like them all. No matter what she looks like, Miss Lilith is the cutest in the world!"
"Okay, okay~"
Just as he was about to take Lilith to the town to find a hotel and wait for the Tarot Club to arrive, a girl's angry voice suddenly came from the port: "If you leave, don't come back!"
"I..."
Edward, Lilith and other onlookers around immediately looked over and saw that a man and a woman with relatively dark skin seemed to have had a conflict. The girl was very angry and the boy felt very aggrieved.
"Ruini, I don't want to leave. It's me... I have nothing now. I have to go out and try my best, in order to... in order to..."
The boy looked tall and thin, with a confused expression.
The flaxen-haired girl asked, "What can talent do?"
"…"
The boy hesitated for a long time, but finally clenched his fingers holding the suitcase, turned around and left.
"Winter! You coward!"
Rui Ni yelled angrily.
The boy lowered his head and walked towards the dock.
Edward looked at the two people walking away, and always felt that their names seemed very familiar, as if they had appeared in the original book.
After a moment, with the extraordinary memory of the Beyonder, Edward remembered who they were:
They are two minor characters with very little space in the original novel. They appeared when Klein played the Faceless Man. They are probably about a man and a woman who like each other, but the boy goes out as an adventurer to earn enough money, but he is contaminated and dies because he picks up an extraordinary characteristic.
Klein disguised himself as him and came to Simim Island to say goodbye to the girl, saying that he was going on a long journey.
Edward took out his pocket watch to check the time, thought for a moment and said, "Lilith, as a witch, what do you think you should do at this time?"
Lilith bit her finger and shook her head: "I don't know~"
"Listen carefully. Many times, if there are no opportunities, you have to create them; if there is no demand, you have to create demand."
Edward leaned close to her ear and whispered something, but the little girl didn't know if she understood or not, she just kept nodding.
...
On the passenger ship at the port of Simim.
The boy named Winter sat on the ground beside the railing, with a lot of thoughts in his mind: he liked Ruthie very much and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.
But his parents died young and left him nothing. He didn't know what he could give to be with Rui Ni, or how to make her happy.
Therefore, he planned to leave his hometown and go to Bayam or even further away to work hard for a few years. When he made enough money, he would return to Simim to confess his love to Ruini and propose to her.
"Young man, are you confused?"
At this time, a white-haired woman came over with a cane. Her face was like tree bark, with terrible wrinkles all over it. Her eyes were bulging, and she looked quite scary.
"What?"
Winter stood up quickly.
"You are hesitating and struggling over whether to leave Ximim or to leave your future to an unknown adventure. You..."
The old woman paused, listened attentively for a few seconds, and continued, "In short, you actually want to stay here and be with that girl, but you are worried that you can't take care of her, right?"
"You...how did you know?"
Winter was startled, but he immediately laughed at himself and said, "Yeah, if I had enough money, why would I leave here and take risks?"
The old woman then took out a bright red apple out of thin air and said, "I want to make a deal with you. If you eat this apple, I will give you enough money to live with the girl you love for the rest of your life."
Chapter 412 Concealment
"What?"
Winter looked at the old woman in astonishment, "Are you kidding me?"
"I'm not kidding."
The old woman laughed, "It's just a deal, each of us gets what we want."
"…"
Winter suddenly understood something, "You, you are the legendary witch?!"
"Shhh."
The old woman raised an index finger.
Winter was horrified to find that his mouth had disappeared inexplicably. He reached out to touch his mouth in fear, but only felt a layer of flesh. "Wuwuwu."
More than ten seconds later, his mouth was restored. Winter gasped in fear for a long time, and whispered in a trembling voice: "What if I don't eat it?"
The old woman naturally took back the apple and said, "Forget it then."
Seeing that the other party was really about to leave, Winter gritted his teeth and shouted, "Wait, I want to know, what will happen if I eat the apple? Will I die?"
"No."
The old woman gave a creepy smile, "But, after you die, your soul will become my collection."
Winter's heart skipped a beat. "Then why did you choose me?"
"Because I like you, young souls who believe in love. You are sweet, nourishing and interesting."
The old woman said at this time: "Forget it, I don't like to force anything when I make a deal, let's change the target." As she spoke, the old woman turned and walked away, her figure becoming fainter and fainter. "For example, the girl just now was also very good."
Girl?
Winter's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously reached out to pull the old woman, but his clothes suddenly tightened and pulled him back. Then a colorful poisonous tongue wrapped around his neck and came in front of his eyes, spitting out a bright red snake tongue.
Winter raised his hands and shouted urgently:
