Yi Liuling hugged Kirara and Yousheng tightly and carefully walked out of the elevator. Then she heard the big stone face behind her reminding: "Next, you will go through a fantasy assessment. Your task is to start from It brings out that thing in it.”
"Which thing?" Yi Liuling turned around and asked.
"It's easy to identify, it glows golden," the big face didn't say it directly, but just gave a hint, "In addition, there are three things behind you, you can take one of them away. They may be useful, but If you don’t have it, it won’t affect your outcome.”
After saying that, the big face stopped moving, as if it had turned back into a stone sculpture.
Upon hearing this, Yi Liuling turned around again, only to find that at some point, the corridor behind her had turned into a road, with dense woods on both sides of the road.
There were three tree stumps lined up in a conspicuous place on his right, with an item placed on each stump.
From left to right, there is an old and faded canvas, a rusty sword and an extremely greasy apron.
"This scene is really nostalgic." Looking at these three items that looked like they were dug out of a garbage dump, Yi Liuling suddenly remembered Arnold's mysterious store.
Speaking of which, this guy seemed to have caused them to almost die in the toy ghost town.
Yi Liuling suddenly remembered this incident and decided to take Kun Yi with him to claim compensation from Arnold. Even if you can't get the money, that guy Arnold's professional quality is extremely poor, so it would be nice to disgust him if you have the chance.
With this in mind, he patted Yousheng again with his hand, but the latter had no reaction. Apparently, he didn't find any of the three things attractive to him.
Yi Liuling picked up the canvas and said, "In that case, it's up to you."
As he spoke, he wrapped Kirara in canvas and made it into a bundle and carried it on his back. In this way, he only had to hold the flowerpot of the pomelo, and his movements were much easier.
Just after Yi Liuling packed up, the three tree stumps disappeared together with the other two things.
"Ah!" Suddenly, he heard a scream, and then two people rushed out of the woods, pointing at him with two bright objects.
Yi Liuling immediately prepared to fight with vigilance, but found that the visitors were two housewives over fifty years old. They were wearing the same aprons as those on the tree stump just now, even the greasiness was about the same.
As for what they were holding, it was not a weapon, but a spatula and a metal spoon. At the same time, they do not have any magical aura about them, and they are obviously not practitioners.
"Excuse me," Yi Liuling tried her best to look innocent, "what happened?"
It has to be said that being good-looking often brings convenience. After seeing clearly that this "intruder" is just a beautiful young man who looks very innocent, the attitudes of the two women are no longer so tense. .
However, they still did not completely let down their guard. The woman holding a spatula asked, "Are you sick?"
Yi Liuling began to suspect that these two people didn't want to talk properly.
"Well, you misunderstood," the housewife on the side explained immediately when she saw this, "She is not scolding you, we just want to ask, are you here to see a doctor?"
see a doctor? Yi Liuling recalled the advertisement he saw in the elevator. It was a men's hospital. Even if he wanted to gain their trust, he couldn't admit such a thing.
So, he shook his head decisively.
"That's good, that's good," Spoon Housewife looked obviously relieved, "But you're not here to participate in the cooking competition, right? You don't even have an apron."
Was that apron used to gain the trust of these two people? Yi Liuling had some guesses about the three previous items. If the apron corresponded to the cooking competition, then the rusty sword should refer to the ticket to the bard's performance on the other poster?
The famous bard's name was Skóga, and the reason Yi Liuling was deeply impressed by this poet was because every time he held a performance, he would always use a weapon as a ticket. However, what exactly it is depends on the situation.
It is said that Skóga was born in an ordinary mountain village. The place was poor and poor, and only produced a very strange ore. This kind of ore has no other characteristics, except that the quality is very poor. Even the weapons made by the best craftsmen using it will break when touched.
Although this ore was later used to make props and weapons for performances, and found some uses in alchemy, it was really worthless at the time.
Therefore, in order to boost the economy of his hometown, Skóga always uses weapons made of this ore, and also designated a blacksmith. Therefore, the average blacksmith genius in that mountain village found a job in the Chamber of Commerce.
And because of this unique way of selling tickets, Skóga is respected as the Weapons Master. You must know that unlike a stage name, the title of bard cannot be chosen by oneself. It must have certain characteristics and fame before it can be obtained.
Since Yi Liuling didn't choose the rusty sword, it meant that he couldn't say that he was here to watch the show. So what does the remaining canvas correspond to?
"Ah, on your back," the spatula housewife noticed Yi Liuling's burden, and immediately showed a look of sympathy, "I see, your father is dead."
So the guy holding the spatula doesn't know how to speak human language?
"I'm sorry, she speaks more straightforwardly," Housewife Spoon continued to smooth things over, "You must have come to Fallen Leaves Return to Roots, right? I recognize the piece of cloth on your back. A few days ago, someone also sent her father's ashes back home. He went out to work hard back then. It’s not easy, but now things are finally getting better.”
At this point, Housewife Spoon seemed to have thought of something, and pressed the corners of her eyes with her hands: "Speaking of which, when my son left, he was as old as you. I don't know if I will be able to see him again in my lifetime."
"Take care of yourself," said the spatula housewife, "you should be able to see his ashes."
Yi Liuling suddenly felt a sincere admiration for the Spoon Wife. If the Spoon Wife always talked like this, she didn't knock her to death with a spoon. She was really brave.
However, according to the information obtained so far, there is probably a custom in this place that people who leave the village take away a piece of canvas like this, and after death, their children bring the ashes back?
Yi Liuling felt that she still needed to get more information, so she started to make excuses on the grounds that she had rarely heard about things in her hometown from her father.
It just so happened that the two housewives also took off their guard after confirming his identity, and basically answered all questions. Especially the soup spoon housewife, she adopted the same attitude as the enthusiastic aunt from the neighbor's house that Yi Liuling had met when she was a child, and took the initiative to introduce him to him.
