at this time.
Su Ziyu really felt like he was in a fairy tale.
He saw a fairyland-like town and met a group of hospitable but chatty goblins. They prepared extremely rich food for themselves, and there were also several funny big-nosed goblins playing weird instruments. A clear and pleasant sound came out.
The deviant Peake was sitting on his right, chattering and asking all kinds of strange questions.
Most of it is about a place called 'Chessboard Country'.
There is a kingdom of humans, with an extremely beautiful white queen, a white-bearded bishop, majestic knights, and tough and elite soldiers. Su Ziyu only nodded or shook his head occasionally and did not give any response to Peak, but he still kept chattering, as if to prove to the other big fairies that he had really been to that place.
Their food is hearty and delicious.
Most of the food has a mushroom flavor, and those various mushrooms seem to be their staple food. In return, Su Ziyu took out half of his compressed biscuits and two-thirds of his chocolate bars and gave them to these big fairies. They liked this novel food very much, and some children even fought over the chocolate bars.
Male goblins have older faces, and most of them like to wear beards. Female goblins have softer faces, but they talk more and are looser. They like to gather together and whisper.
Their mead tastes like sweet rice wine, with a fruity aroma and a very low alcohol content.
But these big goblins are very drunk.
After just a few sips, his face turned red and his big nose turned red. Some people started to fight because of a few quarrels, making them look shabby. Others didn't care, let alone stop them. On the contrary, they smiled and laughed. There were people watching, and others were cheering.
It feels like they are a group of children who have not grown up, but they are not dangerous existences.
Time passed little by little.
As the banquet ended, the other great fairies also returned to their residences. The great elder arranged a large room for Su Ziyu, but the bed was still a bit too small for him, so he simply slept on the floor.
"It's best not to go out at night."
Under the dim candlelight, the elder goblin's eyes were a little wandering, and he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "There is a bad-tempered witch living in this forest. She sometimes appears at night, and it will be very dangerous if you encounter her. ”
Witch
Since there are magical creatures like big goblins in this world, it is not surprising that there are also witches.
Su Ziyu couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and nodded towards the goblin elder to express his understanding. Soon the lights outside were extinguished one after another, and the whole town became quiet, which was in sharp contrast to the lively and noisy environment before.
It was quiet all around.
I don't know when, a layer of mist started to appear outside, and there were some faint rustling sounds, as if there were rats moving around at night.
Su Ziyu, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes.
He stood up slowly, put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, and quietly turned on the safety of the pistol in his right hand.
After experiencing so many worlds, of course he would not really think that he had come to a fairy tale world. The woman who claimed to be from Atlantis told him that whether he wanted it or not, the Hourglass of Time would bring him Follow him to find those unspeakable horrors.
Everything that seems beautiful and fairy-tale-like during the day must have an unknown darkness hidden behind it.
Squeak.
Su Ziyu's door was gently opened, and then the sound of very slight footsteps came, approaching the room little by little.
When this sneaky figure just walked into the room, a cold short blade was suddenly placed on his neck, and then Su Ziyu's deep voice sounded: "What do you want to do by sneaking into my room at night?"
Through the dim light, Su Ziyu could clearly see that the person sneaking in was a big goblin.
"You are indeed more powerful than I thought." A slightly hoarse voice sounded.
The big goblin's head suddenly turned 180 degrees in a strange way, looking at him with slightly cloudy yellow-brown eyes, and said slowly: "A human? Why did you come to the Dream Forest?"
"The witches guarding this place have gone crazy."
"They can't help you."
Horror.
This big goblin suddenly turned his head 180 degrees, which frightened Su Ziyu's heart. And when he saw the appearance of the big goblin in front of him clearly, Su Ziyu felt a little bit creepy, and there was even a trace of cold sweat on his back.
"Peak?" Su Ziyu looked at the unusually old face in front of him and asked in a puzzled tone.
The face of the big goblin in front of him looked like that of an old man who was over a hundred years old, covered with many wrinkles, but his face was very similar to that of the Peak that he had seen during the day. He looked like another extremely old Peak. .
"Jie Jie." Old Peake in front of him let out a hoarse and unpleasant laugh.
It was like an old man who was about to die of thirst. He opened his mouth, and his chapped lips revealed a row of sharp teeth. He licked his lips with his slender tongue and said: "I'm not that idiot, you can Call me Jack."
"Humanity."
"I know you have a lot of doubts, maybe we can sit down and talk."
The guy who called himself Jack was wearing Peak's clothes during the day. He turned his head 180 degrees and then turned back. After Su Ziyu retracted the blade, he sat directly on the low table beside him.
He looked at Su Ziyu, his cloudy yellow-brown eyes stared at him, and said slowly: "Are you here for the witch?"
"Yeah." Su Ziyu paused for a moment and nodded slightly.
Although he didn't know who the witch the other party was talking about was, this did not prevent him from following the other party's words to find out more information.
"It's useless." Jack smiled nervously, and said with trembling wrinkles on his face: "The witches have gone crazy. They died and disappeared. Only the youngest witch still appears occasionally."
"Believe me."
"You never want to meet her."
Su Ziyu hesitated for a moment, seemed to be organizing his words, and said slowly: "What happened here?"
Compared with the funny and cute goblins during the day, Jack looked like a ferocious monster at this time. His exposed arms were bony, and there were sharp black nails on the pale finger bones, which were tapping lightly. He touched the table and murmured in a low voice: "This place is cursed."
"We are all tainted by nightmares. Everything you see during the day is just an illusion."
"Follow me. Keep your voice down."
Jack stood up gently, pushed open the door and made a silent gesture, signaling Su Ziyu to follow him slowly.
There is a light mist outside.
Su Ziyu hesitated for a moment, then followed with a weapon. Jack led him to the outside of a wooden house. He stood at the window and pointed inside and said, "See for yourself."
"This is all real!"
Su Ziyu stood outside the window and looked inside, and suddenly felt a chill. There were two big goblins lying inside. Their faces were as old as Peake, covered with dense wrinkles, and their exposed sharp teeth were very sharp, and they had sharp black nails. There was something on it, and the bony chest rose and fell slightly, as if he was still sleeping.
They seemed to be dreaming about something, and their sharp teeth would occasionally make gnawing movements.
"It's safe during the day until the nightmare consumes everything."
Jack's figure gradually disappeared into the fog, and he said in a low and hoarse voice: "Human. Leave here tomorrow."
"We can't help you."
“Because we can’t protect ourselves!…”
