Fairy Magic Candy Master

The origin of the secret recipe for magical candies begins half a year ago.

"Live well."

Those were the last words Prelee heard the man say to him.

Even at this time, the man never showed any trace of panic or fear. Instead, he gave him two cold elf balls. A trace of relief seemed to flash across his indifferent face, and he immediately held the door of the house firmly. , said this to him as if giving an order.

Prey was stunned for a moment, as if these words had magical power, making him forget about the fire, shouts and cries outside the house.Before he could say anything more, his body quickly surpassed his brain, quickly flipped into the secret passage, and casually sealed the entrance to the secret passage.

Prey no longer remembers the feeling in his heart at that time. The only thing he knows is that those words were also said by the man to him. The first words could be regarded as words of concern.

""

The next moment, Prey woke up from his dream and couldn't recover for a while.

After a second, his brain gradually fed back all the information to him: I was in the forest from Guangming Town to Yunying City. About an hour ago, I started to rest by a small river in the forest.all around

"No danger."

The speaker was an khaki-colored elf that looked a bit like a flying insect, but a crescent-like white halo of light hung strangely above its head.

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you, No. [-]." Prey nodded slightly, watching the elf lying on the tree trunk fall into silence again. Perhaps an ordinary trainer would think that there was a relationship between them when they saw this cold scene. It's not good, but for an elf that acts unconsciously most of the time, being able to take the initiative to talk to Prey is already a level of trust.

Prey calmed down a little and stood up.

He hasn't had a dream in four years. Could it be that his recent life has been too comfortable, so he has relaxed his guard?

The river water vaguely reflected his appearance: short black hair, eyes as deep as night, an extremely ordinary face, and the extremely common traveler's attire.

If a person dressed like this were more than ten years younger, he would probably be regarded as a direct trainer of the alliance who had just received the Yusanjia and embarked on an ambitious journey.

However, considering Prey's age, if he dresses like this again, he will only be mistaken for a poor trainer who is still mediocre at his age.

Yes, Prey just turned 29 a month ago.

"It's been four years. Today is the second day since I started traveling. Will you forgive me for doing that without permission?"

Talking to himself, Prey stared at the river quietly, as if he wanted to find the familiar face with deep eyes that were almost identical to his own.

Prey knew that he was an orphan and that the man had given him this name. For 25 years, the man never allowed himself to call him "father", but only said that he was Prey's "guardian".It is precisely because of this that Prey was fed up with the strange looks in that small mountain village 25 years ago.

Therefore, after Prey became sensible, he just called him "that man". Even if the two of them talked face to face, they would directly refer to each other with "hey" and "you".

But unlike Prey, people in the village still respect this man.I don’t know since when, everyone used to call him Mr. Li. As for his real name, he never said it, and no one in the mountains knew it.

Although the small mountain village has no name and cannot even be found on the map printed by the alliance, life in the village is not bad.

The soil in the mountains is fertile and the seeds are sown in the beginning of spring. As long as the weather is good, there will be a good harvest next year.Therefore, as long as you work hard in the village, you will never die of hunger.

Of course, farming is a physically demanding job, especially in such an isolated mountain village.There are no advanced machines, and there are no elves who can help farm the land. People can only do it themselves and feed themselves in the most primitive way.

In Prey's impression, that man seemed out of place in the entire village, not only because his appearance was not as rugged as others, but also because his body was very weak and he would be out of breath even if he did any heavy work.

Needless to say, the Prey family are the only ones in the village who do not farm.

The strange thing is that in this mountain village that advocates labor, that man's status is higher than anyone else.Sometimes, even the respected old village chief would ask him some questions respectfully.

When Prey was a child, he was confused. Later, when he grew up, he gradually understood because the man was a pharmacist.

Pharmacist is a profession that only exists in Tianmu area.In this extremely vast land, there are all kinds of strange plants growing, including a large number of tree fruits that are not yet familiar to people.

These tree fruits often have unique effects and can be applied to all walks of life in society.It can be said that one of the biggest wonders that can be seen in the Tianmu area is the high degree of application of tree fruits in human society.

People in this small mountain village are not exempt from customs. From treatment to spices, from decoration to farming, there is almost nothing that can really be done without the fruits of the tree.

However, there are many types of tree fruits in the Tianmu area, and different tree fruits often have completely different uses. The secrets in the fruits have formed a huge and complicated knowledge system, which is by no means something that ordinary people can easily discover.

Ordinary researchers can only get a glimpse of this system. The only people who can truly understand the essence of it are pharmacists.

Unfortunately, to become a pharmacist, you need to master a vast amount of knowledge that many people cannot learn in a lifetime.Moreover, understanding tree fruits is only the most superficial skill of a pharmacist. A truly qualified pharmacist must be able to use different tree fruits or other plants to prepare a pair of magical potions.

For this reason, although most pharmacists do not begrudge their knowledge, it is very difficult to find people who are willing to spend 20, 30 or even 40 years learning all this.

One can imagine how rare it is for people to have a truly capable pharmacist.

For as long as Prey can remember, the yard at home has always been full of people. It seems that everyone who walks into the room is worried, and when they come out, they all hold bottles of large or small size and become high-spirited. , when you go, you will leave behind all kinds of things you brought, including vegetables, rice, wine, and sometimes even precious synthetic meat.

Most of the people in the small mountain village are simple and have no concept of money. In their eyes, these things are far more valuable than money, and they regard them as rewards for the man, and Pui was raised on these leftover things.

That man had taken care of Prey for 25 years, but Prey had never seen him smile at him.The man never tried to hide the fact that Prey was an orphan. To be precise, he didn't seem to care what Prey thought at all, as if taking care of Prey was just his job.

So after realizing this, Prey distanced himself from him even more naturally.

In his lonely childhood, Prey's only pleasure was the bookcase of books that the man always kept neatly.

It's strange to say that the man's living habits are very sloppy. The tableware is often washed when the sink cannot fit it, and the clothes are not changed until they are too dirty to be seen. Almost all the furniture has a layer of greasy stains on the surface, which makes it difficult to see. People gag.

However, only the bookshelf and the books filled with it were clean.

Although the pages of most of the books were yellowed, and many of them were obviously damaged, Prey could tell that they were the result of being overly old and being read by too many people, and were not that man's. Damn by habit.

For as long as he can remember, Prey has been full of curiosity about this large bookcase that is incompatible with everything.

Later I thought about it, if he didn't have this extra curiosity, maybe Pui would be like that man in his whole life, working at sunrise, resting at sunset, getting married and having children, and finally living in the mountains for the rest of his life. This is what the villagers have done from generation to generation. On this day, Prey and that man will be no exception.

As mentioned above, the man didn't seem to care much about anything. Even when facing Prey, who was supposed to be the closest to him, the words he said to him every day could be counted on two hands, so after confirming that the man did not After caring about flipping through the books in the bookcase, Prey spent almost all his time on the mysterious big bookcase.

Prey also had to admit that in his impression, this man who "didn't seek to make progress and only relied on some small skills to get by" actually had a cabinet full of books, and what was recorded in these books, Not only are there countless plants that I have never heard of, but there are also complete sets of theories and methods that are like opening the door to a new world.

Prey has always wondered why that man kept so many books containing unimaginable knowledge.But the man never said anything, and he didn't dare to ask.

In this way, in the isolated mountains, Prey slowly grew up relying on these piles of books, and lived a poor but fulfilling life. The man did not mind Prey reading his books, but the prerequisite was that he had to wash his hands. Until Prey accidentally discovered another of his secrets.

By chance, while the man was going out, Prey discovered a secret door in his room, and behind the secret door was a long and narrow secret passage.

Curious, Prey bravely walked in, only to find that at the end of the secret passage was a secret room with more books.And in the center of the secret room, there is a strange stone sculpture.

It seemed to be the image of a four-legged elf, but Prey had never seen such an elf before.

The books in the secret room were ones that Prey had never touched before, and they were more profound than those in the man's bookcase.Naturally, after discovering something "more interesting", Prey, who had memorized all the books in the bookcase, began to peek at the books in the secret room when the man was not at home.

It was not until much later that Prey realized that he seemed to have some extraordinary talents in this area. The man's books seemed to be deliberately concealed. Prey unknowingly read them and understood them.

For most of the rest of the day, while the man was helping the villagers prepare medicine, Prey sat and watched.At first Prey could come to the same conclusion as the man, but as time went by, Prey found that he sometimes came to different conclusions.

"Why didn't he do that?"

“There is obviously a better way.”

Did you make a mistake?
