"Intelligence? What do you mean?"
Even Helo could see that Youphiel's mind was already occupied by meat skewers at the moment, leaving no room for thinking.
"I'll ask you some questions, and then tell you what you know. If the answer is correct or satisfies me, I'll give you the meat skewers."
Hero thought for a moment and explained in another way.
Youphiel raised her head happily, "Do you just need to answer the question?"
All she had to do was answer the questions. She had played this game with her aunt's housekeeper and it was so easy.
"Of course, but you need to answer honestly. If you answer well, I will give you this string too."
Hero picked up another skewer of prawns. After a long period of roasting, the salt inside gradually melted into the shrimp meat, and the fragrant flavor surpassed that of the soul beast meat skewers.
"Okay, okay." Youphiel couldn't wait any longer, with a hint of sparkle at the corner of her mouth.
"Do you know the city that never sleeps hidden in this forest?"
Holo's question was directly aimed at the assessment task, and no longer went around and around to dwell on Youphiel's identity.
Just now, he said that he needed to pay a price and tested her, which already made Youphiel a little unhappy. Who knows if the inquiry method of checking the household registration will directly cause her to become angry and lose control.
"The city that never sleeps? You mean the Carnival City with those big wooden piles?"
Youphiel's tone was a little uncertain, but from her answer, Helo also knew another name for the city that never sleeps.
"Yes, you know."
Bert urged him excitedly. Now it seems that helping the little girl is not a bad thing!
"I know, but Carnival City isn't fun. Do you want to go?"
Hero's eyes lit up, great!
Not only did Youphiel know about the existence of the Tree Spirit Nightless City, she had also visited it before.
The surprise came too suddenly.
"Can you take us there? I will make skewers for you along the way. All kinds of skewers, even more delicious than this one."
Hero shook the meat skewer in his hand, letting the aroma sway and seduce her.
[Flea Skin Bag] There is still some inventory in it. If you control the quantity, it will be enough to seduce this little glutton along the way.
Upon hearing Holo's promise, Youphiel's eyes became brighter and she quickly agreed.
"Okay! Carnival City is easy to find, but you can't enter it physically."
Physically inaccessible? So what she means is...you need to strip off your soul to play?
In this dangerous tree spirit pile?
"So that's...the inner realm of the soul!"
This shocked a few people, why did [Soul Realm] appear in the missions sent by the tower!
As we all know, what a magician cares about most is the soul. Even in the process of breaking through the ranks, he will be extremely careful about his soul being tainted by the outside world.
The [Soul Realm] requires the magician to separate the soul from the body and let the soul experience everything that happens in the inner realm. This is the most terrifying place. If you are not careful, you will be in catastrophe. No one knows about the Carnival City. What is there inside?
This made several people feel withdrawn.
Failure in the assessment will only affect resources for the next three years, but once there is a problem with the soul, the impact will be for a lifetime.
Which is more serious and which is less important, everyone knows.
"No wonder not even the high tower knows the specific location of the Tree Spirit's Sleepless City. This 'city' is not a city in the traditional sense at all."
"So do you still want to go to this 'city'?"
There was too much content in Yuphiel's words, so much that it made them think that the mission had failed.
The question raised by Holo made them all fall into silence.
"That...can you give it to me?"
After waiting for a long time, he saw that Hero was deep in thought. Youphiel thought that her answer was not good enough, so she asked a little aggrievedly.
Hero reacted and immediately handed the meat skewers into her hands.
"And that bunch, can you give it to me?"
Youphiel bit into a piece of meat, her mouth was extremely long, and she filled her mouth to the brim. She couldn't speak clearly but she was still asking for the prawns from Hero.
"This... No, you just answered one question. If you want, you have to answer another question."
The soul beast meat skewers were so fragrant that Youphiel couldn't control it at all. She finished the meat skewers in three licks, even the skewers were removed.
But there was no trace of grease or dirt on her mouth, and she still looked that delicate.
This gave Hero reason to suspect that she just didn't want meat skewers to get on her cheeks when she had such a big mouth.
Damn mysophobia.
"I still want to eat...ask quickly!"
Youphiel licked her lips, as if she was recalling what she had just asked, but she swallowed it too quickly and couldn't recall the taste at all.
"You know... the lord of this land, Swamp Mother?"
When Hero asked this question, he was obviously aware of the girl in front of him and was stunned for a moment.
Then, she replied: "Are you here to see Swamp Mother? I don't know."
Even though the pupils filled his eyes, Hero still felt her evasive gaze.
Youphiel didn't dare to look at him directly.
In addition, there was no answer from Chengfu, it was clearly saying that she knew but she didn't want to say it.
Even because of Helo's problem, Youphiel no longer greedy for prawns, and became more defensive about the attitudes of several people.
The subtle change in aura caused Hero to quickly explain:
"We are here to pray for Mother Swamp. Forget it if we don't know where she is."
Judging from the attitude shown by Yuphiel, she definitely knew about the existence of Swamp Mother, and it was not a hostile relationship.
So Helo also tried his best to say something nice to ease the relationship between the two parties.
Sure enough, after hearing Helo's explanation, Youphiel's increasingly nervous expression relaxed slightly.
'Does she think we are bad people? Afraid we might be bad for Swamp Mother? '
Since he didn't get the answer he wanted, Helo still handed the prawn to Yuphiel.
"This is a reward for honest children!"
After taking the prawns, Youphiel's eating posture was no longer as bold as before. Instead, she lowered her head and tore off the shrimp meat in small bites.
When several people saw the aggrieved look, they felt a little more emotional. Even Helo wanted to reach out and touch her head.
Just thinking of her mysophobia, she retracted her hand halfway.
"After eating, let's go and take us to see the 'Carnival City'!"
…
There was no trouble walking on the road to Carnival City.
It seems that the girl beside me brings good luck.
Not a single dryad was seen.
The only thing that delayed the progress was the need to grill some meat skewers for Youphiel every now and then.
Curb her gluttony.
"We're almost there. It's just ahead. Just follow the flow of the light curtain and you can find the location of Carnival City."
Yuphir was riding on Hero's shoulders and pointed at the light curtain that could be seen through the gaps in the tree crown.
Although Helo couldn't see any clues.
"Then have you thought about it?"
Now that we are approaching the [Soul Realm], whether to go in has become the most serious question within the team.
Holo planned to go in. He had the [Recovery] module. His soul was always contaminated and he could give it away. At worst, he could feed it to the nightmare soul. Anyway, he could replenish it by consuming his body.
But the same cannot be said for other teammates. They need to take great risks.
