This fairy land is full of magic. In this environment, it is still beneficial to Arthur's growth.
Moreover, the Fairy Queen treated them quite well. Although Char did not learn fairy writing here, it was because of Arthur that she still took care of food and housing.
Whether it is the God of Death or the God of Sleep, in the final analysis, most of their powers are actually indirectly or directly derived from humans.
This may not be summed up simply by the power of faith, but rather by certain concepts derived from human beings or civilization.
There should be an abstract concept called "mystery" in this world. It does not have a fixed definition and can refer to various mysterious events, supernatural phenomena and other things.
The awe, or belief, that people hold towards these phenomena is the source of their power in these things or objects of mystical events.
On the contrary, if people no longer fear them, no longer believe in them, or gradually analyze the essence of these events or things, then these objects will gradually weaken.
This may be the reason why as human civilization progresses, the mystery weakens, and the Age of Ending Dharma arrives, and the gods fall into a deep sleep.
The Fairyland may also need to rely on this power.
Therefore, the Fairy Queen teaches the fairies' writing to the humans who enter the Fairy Land, so that their legends have their own shadow. This is enough for them.
Xia Ya feels that this is more like a rule forcibly inserted by an absolute existence in order to weaken these supernatural powers.
Among the beings he knew, the one most likely to be able to do this was probably the old man.
The Fairy Queen seems to have the ability to see through fate, so she has a certain respect for fate and does not want to be tainted with cause and effect.
So after teaching these people, they are no longer allowed to enter the land of goblins.
But Xia Ya does have the intention of adding an entrance here.
This is the first truly mysterious world that Char found.
The dwarves here are just like the legend, they are unruly, down-to-earth, diligent, loyal and stubborn, and they make a living by blacksmithing.
The elves are also very elegant and noble.
It just doesn't have irreconcilable conflicts like other works, but the elves really look down on the dwarves.
You can buy magic materials here that Char can never buy in the human world.
When Char was shopping with Alicia, she even bought the legendary mithril, which is as light as a feather and as strong as dragon scales, from a dwarf blacksmith. However, it was a little more expensive. The price of mithril of the same weight was ten times that of gold.
Fortunately, Xia Ya reopened the tavern in White City.
For him, he only needs a door that can connect to the tavern. The inside is still the tavern in the imperial capital.
However, Xiaya struggled with the positioning of the tavern in the new environment for a while.
In the White City, the dwarves are the best at drinking.
In Norse mythology, the most common method used by the gods to bully dwarves is to get them drunk, which is a causal weapon.
On the first day of the tavern's trial opening, the dwarves came the most.
They drank almost any kind of alcohol, and they poured it into their mouths like beer, regardless of alcohol content.
Indeed, as Rowling said, their evaluation of these wines is "as bland as water".
Of course, this is a more elegant statement. The direct comment of those dwarves at that time was horse urine.
These dwarves have an obsessive love for high-alcohol wine.
One day Char used a bottle of Spiatus while bartending, and they just took it and poured it into their mouths.
It can really be called "water of life" and has been distilled more than seventy times.
The alcohol concentration of general medical alcohol is 75%, and the alcohol content of that thing is 96%. It is generally only used for cocktail mixing.
A little bit of it on the tongue can bring you to heaven, but they drank it with gusto. It was even the most popular drink among the dwarves in the tavern.
Until one day Char tried the ale brewed by the dwarves and drank a glass. When she woke up again, it was the third day. Alicia had not eaten much for three days as she was worried.
I heard from some elves in the palace that when the dwarves were fighting with others, they used the wine they drank as poisonous wine to cut off other people's water sources.
But it's not that they can't get drunk. In other words, most of the time they are drunk in the pub, but when they are drunk, they like to talk nonsense in a loud voice.
Semele originally liked this lively environment, until one day, a dwarf drank the wine he made and told him directly in front of him that the wine was horse urine.
If Char hadn't stopped him, the dwarf would have been fertilizer in Dionysus's vineyard by now.
So later on, Xia didn't do much business with the dwarves.
However, Calcifer had a good relationship with those dwarves and became friends with them.
Calcifer is loyal and down-to-earth, very simple, not wary of others, and makes friends easily.
The most important thing is that fire demons like Calcifer are too popular in the dwarf circle.
The fire temperature can be controlled anytime and anywhere, and it can melt metals that cannot be melted by ordinary furnaces. It is simply the best helper for blacksmiths like them.
For Calcifer, the 110-proof super strong liquor of these dwarves is also very attractive to him. Pouring this kind of liquor on his head, one glass can make him feel good.
After going back and forth, they became friends. To be honest, Char also relied on Calcifer's relationship to buy a lot of good things from them.
After the tavern stopped doing business with dwarves, it became popular among the elves.
They are very interested in cocktails, especially the wine made by Semele. They like this kind of sweet, elegant and romantic wine, and they come here to drink it from time to time.
Although they drank less than the dwarves, these elves were much quieter than the dwarves.
Interestingly, the tavern actually sells some dwarf wine, which they unabashedly call "dung wine".
These two, one said that the wine the other liked to drink was horse urine, and the other said that the wine the other liked to drink was dung wine. They were really incompatible with each other.
Arthur and Alicia had a very fulfilling time during this period.
Although Queen Titania was a little surprised by Alicia's sudden appearance, she also accepted Alicia's request to learn elf writing together.
Isabel also went to listen. She is a very self-reliant person. She will never leave her destiny in the hands of others, nor will she wait for three to six years with peace of mind.
Having the opportunity to come into contact with the mysterious power means that there is the possibility of awakening her body on her own, and she will naturally not give up.
Speaking of which, every time Isabel went there, Titania would teach her a little longer.
The Queen of Titania seems to like playing with cats.
Isabel, who had abandoned her dignity, also learned a magic that allowed her soul to materialize and move in the world. As long as she could return to her body within a period of time, she would not be polluted by the turbidity of the world.
However, they did not study for a long time. They only spent three or four hours a day studying elf writing.
The rest of the time was spent by Char teaching Arthur swordsmanship and other things.
Of course, Xia didn't actually teach much. He spent more time in the library of the palace. As he said, the books in it were basically elven characters.
But as Rowling said, there are really many useful books in it.
In addition to information about various races in the Fairy Land, there are even dwarf forging techniques, some fairy magic, and the academic crystallization of many ancient magicians and wizards.
However, when Char went to the library, he was not actually reading a book, but using memory magic to copy the book, and finally using writing magic to reproduce it.
If you can translate it, just translate it, and if you don’t understand it, just reproduce it.
He didn't know how long he could stay in the palace, but what Xia knew was that there would definitely be no way to read all the books in the library within a few years.
To this end, he also dug a large library underground on the peninsula specifically to store these copied books and some of his knowledge.
Although this "treasure" of Duke Britain has no actual wealth, it has actually benefited both Char and the rest of the people.
Of course, they are not studying and busy all the time.
Occasionally, they would choose to do nothing, not open the tavern, not go to class, not go to the library, just sit in the castle controlled by Calcifer, drink tea in the courtyard, look at the sea of clouds, and fly towards the poem. and the distance.
They went to West France, to Provence,
Sufficient and bright sunshine is most suitable for the growth of lavender, and local residents love the aroma and therapeutic effects of lavender.
Therefore, in Provence, you can see such a scene, the winding mountains stretch into the horizon, and the plains below the mountains are covered with lavender, and the sea of flowers is billowing.
August in Provence is the lavender season.
Charia just walked with Alicia in the breeze of Provence, enjoying the soft sunshine of Schmiana.
The fragrance of lavender permeates every corner of Provence with the moist air, and romance lingers in the fields in full bloom.
Then we went to the ancient town to listen to a long-standing Purcell light music and sing a medieval knight's ballad. Under the candlelight, the alcohol was floating in the goblet, which was comfortable and comfortable.
Next, they went to see Mount Saint-Michel, the third holiest site in the religion after Jerusalem and the Vatican.
Mont Saint-Michel is land during the day, but after the sun sets, it begins to rise and the tide floods the intersection, turning it into an isolated island. When the tide recedes the next morning, it merges with the surrounding mountains. Roads and tidal flats are connected together to form land.
Go there in the evening, when the tide rises and falls, the mist fills the air, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the sacred church full of history. Watching it slowly become independent from the world, there is always a dreamy feeling of a mirage.
Xia Ya also set up a tavern door in West France, but it was not set up on a busy street, but in a deserted alley. He hung up the door sign and did not care about the passenger flow, only accepting customers who were destined.
They put the spreading war behind them for the time being.
During this period of time, Xia Ya really had the feeling of leisurely watching the flowers blooming and falling in front of the court, not wanting to stay or go, and letting the clouds roll and relax in the sky.
A comfortable life always makes people unable to feel the passage of time. Before you know it, three years have passed like this.
