Fairy’s Box

In the beautiful courtyard of the mansion, outside the green grassy main entrance, Charlene was lying on a white canvas reclining chair, her body pressed against the wavy back of the chair, her eyes lowered, and she looked like she was dozing off.

Bathed in the warmth of the sun, the earl's mansion surrounded by flower trays is full of tranquility and tranquility, as beautiful as a picture scroll. Occasionally, ghost maids enter and exit from the gate of the mansion, which makes a ripple in this painting.

Inside the walls of the courtyard is a quiet and peaceful place, but outside the walls is a rumbling chaos. Under the watchful eye of Miss Headless Horseman, the poor jack-o-lanterns carried heavy stones from the abandoned stone pit in the distance to the periphery of the courtyard.

Although Bagg was conscientious, these resentful spirits had no hands or feet. The mining depended on the arch of the skull. The speed was obvious. After tossing all night, they only moved more than 9,000 stone bricks. The efficiency is really low.

Seeing this scene, Charlene, who had been guarding her all night, also had a headache. These more than 300 jack-o-lanterns were simply trash, and they were not as capable as the ghost maids in the mansion.

"How's Albert?" She turned her gaze to the stone head on the armrest.

"Dear Madam... Stupid Albert said... He would rather die than give in." Sebastian said vaguely while chewing vigorously.

"Death? Of course you can't let him die! Chewing it for so long has no effect. I think you should try a different punishment."

Charlene is also extremely dissatisfied with its work efficiency. A stone head is a stone head. After tossing and turning all night, there is no progress, and I don't know how to change it.

Sebastian immediately stopped chewing, and after thinking hard for a long time, the green light in his eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly spat out Albert.

The Wraith was tortured all night, almost exhausted, suddenly breathing fresh air, subconsciously rushing forward, trying to be free.

However, before it escaped far, the stone animal head took another big mouth, sucked it into the mouth, chewed it twice, and spit it out... sucked it back again... spit it out... **** back...

"..."

The green-haired girl felt that this method was good. Although it was a little disgusting, it was the best way to kill her will.

Just when she was about to compliment Sebastian, there was a slight tremor on the ground, not the sudden vibration of a heavy object landing, but a dense tremor similar to the movement of animals stepping on the ground.

Charlene stood up, got off the reclining chair, and walked quickly to the outside of the courtyard, standing on the top of the rocks piled up into a hill, looking at the end of the wilderness in the distance.

There was a dark and moving forest, and a large number of tree demons with facial features on the trunks were rushing towards the lord's mansion like a river. In front of the team are indeed huge white mushrooms, almost a head higher than normal people, shaking their caps in a naive manner and moving forward slowly.

They didn't form a tight line, they were just a long line moving side by side, and the figure walking at the forefront of the line was Yale who disappeared all night.

Finally back... but what's going on here?

She first pressed the question in her heart, combed her short hair on the side face with her fingers, and tied it up with a hairpin skillfully, took out the makeup mirror in her pocket, and carefully looked at her face.

Very good, beautiful!

Confirming that her beauty was still intact, Charlene quickly retracted her vanity mirror, stretched out her slender white arms, and started waving at the black-haired knight from a distance.

With a knowing smile, Yale returned to the front of the courtyard before the slow-moving woods.

"What are these... a lot of mushrooms!"

Looking at the huge white mushrooms, the green-haired girl showed a coveted expression and subconsciously licked her thin lips.

Seeing Charlene's expression, the black-haired knight subconsciously recalled the scene where she grabbed the poisonous mushroom, and hurriedly warned: "These are the unexpected gains I got from the old tree demon, the mushroom is called cigar mushroom, although it is not Poison, but don't eat it!"

"Why?" Charlene immediately raised her voice, showing an aggrieved expression.

"Because this is the tax that I have worked so hard to collect, it should be used as labor for the construction of the territory. If you eat one, you will lose one, and there must be no loss." Yalei continued to warn in a righteous manner.

"If you can't eat it, you can't eat it..." She glanced at the mushroom group regretfully and said unwillingly.

The black-haired knight has excellent eyesight. He saw the scene of the stone animal head repeatedly swallowing Albert on the armrest of the reclining chair from a distance, and immediately frowned:

"Isn't Sebastian's torture yet fruitful?"

"Give it a little more time, that guy just came up with a new trick, I believe Albert won't last long." Charlene comforted him with a smile, looked at the moving forest ahead, and continued to ask curiously:

"What is the old tree demon? Why give you so much labor?"

"It is the source of the curse of the Dryad, its image is a tall old pine tree, and it has no ill intentions for us for the time being. When the Dryad was dancing, I slashed at it when it was unprepared, and then said the labor force The tax matter, I didn’t expect it to be discussed directly.”

Yale said to her rather proudly, of course he knew that the old tree demon's service was not because of his eloquence, but because the sword cut it down.

"I don't know if they can do it, but at least they look a lot stronger than those pumpkins."

Charlene let out a long sigh, pointed at the jack-o-lantern staring at the rock wobbly, and said with some happiness, "If it was just relying on them, I don't think it would be as fast as the two of us coming together."

"Is there a quarry over there, did you find it?" He looked at the position where the jack-o-lantern was floating.

"Thanks to two gargoyles, they are naturally stone sensitive."

"I see." Yale suddenly came to his senses. He didn't expect that the gargoyle hired casually would have such a use.

"Now that there is sufficient labor, how do you plan to plan the territory?"

"First dig the river to lead the stream, and then feed these baby bumps, um... Let's just dig a moat first, and then build a city around the river. It doesn't need to be too big, it can protect the earl's palace."

"Aren't you going to visit Death Spring?" Charlene looked relieved.

"I won't go for the time being. Judging from the tree demon's attitude towards me, the source of the curse doesn't necessarily have malice towards me. In the case of Death Spring, at least wait for Sebastian to squeeze the information out of Albert's mouth, make plans."

Yale took off the kettle, took a sip, touched his belly, and looked at the green-haired girl: "I haven't eaten all night, I'm a little hungry, do you have anything to eat?"

"I'll let them do it for you." Charlene said and touched the ruby ​​ring.

"No need, give me some jerky, I have to settle these tree demons to the lake now and start digging the river."
