Chapter 674 - Elemental Activation (1) (2/2)

If she couldn’t accept Bai Jia’s existence in her dreams, she would always feel like she’s being trapped by another soul.

But he suddenly thought of a question, “Do you hate Madara?”

This question caused Maynild to shake lightly. She raised her head and Brendel saw the pupils of those beautiful eyes shrinking in terror. She looked at him in fear and peeled back her lips to reveal white teeth that looked like they wanted to bite this topic in half.

“Don’t you dare ask me that question!”

Brendel paused in confusion because he saw Maynild’s hand start to shake.

What was going on?

He frowned, but what he saw next in his field of vision interrupted his thoughts. When the little fairy threw the ball of light into the jar of honey, a golden light immediately shone out from the jar. The little fairy looked pleasantly surprised and she stood on tiptoes so she could stick her hand into the jar and scoop out a thread of sticky honey. Then she licked at it with her tongue before sticking her entire hand into her mouth. A silver thread of saliva trailed out when she drew out her hand.

The little fairy smacked her lips and she squinted her eyes into a line. Then she settled herself down against the jar and sucked at her fingers, one by one.

Maynild looked on dumbfounded. “She… don’t they have any sense of danger?”

“Probably a little bit, otherwise she wouldn’t have used a spell to test for poison. But that’s about it. Fairies love to eat and to play and they’re very curious…” Brendel didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the sight. In the game, fairies were known for being cute but he hadn’t thought it would be the same in this world.

“Lady Tania acts nothing like this.”

“That’s because Aunt Tania has gone through a strict education and possesses a lot of human knowledge. But she does still have a hard time resisting her own curiosity. A race’s instinct is just one part of them. Besides, there are even differences between different fairies.”

“Which branch of fairies does Lady Tania come from?”

“She’s descended from the Clan of Light. She’s from the light fairies, which are relatives to light sprites. The relations.h.i.+p to the Holy Saints is the equivalent of being servants to a Buga Mage, but their current status is higher than it was before.” Brendel added on, “But ice fairies are the most foolish of all the fairy races –”

“They’re coming.”

Following Brendel’s announcement, countless b.a.l.l.s of light of varying sizes rose in the Frost Forest on top of the lake. There were at least several hundreds of them. When Maynild caught a glimpse of this sight, she couldn’t help but remark that it was miraculous that this race has not died out yet.

Though the truth of the matter was that fairies had their own way of survival. For example, the fairy from before was the scout they sent out. As a scout, it had the benefit of eating the honey first. But the fairies, big and small, would swarm out as soon as they sensed the coast was clear..

“Let’s hurry, this will turn into a battlefield soon.” Brendel suggested.

“Battlefield?” The female knight questioned.

As if to prove Brendel right, the hundreds of fairies very quickly devolved in an all-out brawl over the honey. But their battles with each other looked a lot like children fooling around. The female knight even saw some fairies grab mud from the ground and toss it at their companions’ faces.

What an unbelievable sight.

Since the fairies were busy fighting with each other, n.o.body spared Brendel and Maynild, still hidden behind the tree, any attention. The two quickly walked around the little guys fighting over the honey and toward the lake. Since the fairies have all swarmed out, the water elementals on the lake have all dissipated. The two waded across the lake without any trouble and quickly arrived at the other side of the lake sh.o.r.e where the Foggy Ice Bloom Forest was.

This entire process went so smoothly that Maynuld had a hard time believing it.

After they waded out from the water with splas.h.i.+ng sounds, Maynild frowned and wrung her pant legs dry. Then she looked up and asked, “If you knew honey had this effect, why didn’t you use it sooner?”

“Honey is a rare treat here. If I don’t use it, I can make honey candy. Traveling through the Stained Frost Forest Labyrinth is a tedious and boring experience. Sweets will cheer the ladies up and Scarlet likes honey.” Brendel let out a breath of air.

She glanced at him, “I didn’t know you were this considerate.”

“I just have experience when it comes to going on adventures.”

On the topic of experiences from past lives, Maynild fell into silence. But after a while, Brendel heard her calmly say, “I like honey too –”

He turned around. The female knight had already sheathed her blade and moved past him towards the forest.
