Chapter Fourteen The Occultist
"The scenery here is very good." Xing Tianyu couldn't help but say while walking in the lush forest. He was not just talking about nothing, but heartfelt words from the bottom of his heart. Compared with the places he had been to in the past, the environment here is indeed closer to nature. After all, the population is not that dense, and the damage to nature is naturally not so serious, or the pressure on the environment is not very large.
The dry branches creaked under your feet, and the bright sunlight above your head was exposed from the branches and leaves of the trees. The air was filled with the breath of grass and soil. There was silence around you, and even the sound of birds and the sound of some kind of quadruped animals passing through the forest could be faintly heard.
"It's okay, I don't feel anything." Sivia said absent-mindedly.
"Are you okay?" Xing Tianyu asked with concern when he noticed his companion's absence.
"Nothing, I just..." Sivia hesitated for a moment. "How much do you know about the prayer elves?"
"I know very little, probably only some information I see from movies and cartoons. What's wrong? You might be moved by the wishing elves' wishes." Xing Tianyu asked inadvertently.
Sivia did not deny it, “It is indeed a little bit.”
Xing Tianyu thought to himself that this was true, and couldn't help but sigh in secret, "But you have heard that the prayer elves will distort the result of their wishes. Usually there is no good result from the wisher elves' wishes. You have seen the situation of those people in the town."
"You are right, usually there will be no good results, but we are not ordinary people after all, and you have to know that there are still examples in this world where elves make wishes and get their own satisfactory results." Sivia seemed to be making excuses for herself.
Xing Tianyu shook his head, "Your thought is very dangerous."
"I know, but life is full of dangers, right?" Seeing Xing Tianyu trying to persuade him again, Sivia waved her hand, "Don't worry, I understand what I'm doing, don't worry, I'm not that tempted. Unless I'm sure I can bear the consequences of taking risks, I won't take risks easily. And we say that these are useless now, so let's find the prayer elves first."
Xing Tianyu nodded and continued to walk aimlessly in the forest. They were moving in the direction Billy told, but the forest was so big and there was no road at all. The two of them were not very clear about whether they were still on the right path.
Fortunately, Sivia's magic played a good role. After using three prophecies and changing the direction of the advance three times, the front suddenly became clear and the trees became sparse. A clearing appeared in front of the two of them. There was a huge rock in the open space, which was smooth and clean. The side of the huge rock facing up was extremely flat, like a platform.
Surrounding the boulder are some flowers and plants, white daisies and yellow crowned dwarf dovetails, which reflect a fairytale atmosphere under the sunlight.
"It's this." Xing Tianyu asked to himself.
"It should be." Sivia looked at the food bag in her hand. "So what should we do next? According to Billy, we have to put bread and honey on the stone and hide."
Xing Tianyu nodded, walked towards the stone with bread and honey. He opened the food bag, put the toasted bread on the stone, and then poured a whole bottle of honey on the bread. The aroma of bread and honey blended together, which was very tempting. "This should be almost done, let's hide." He greeted Sivia, found a bush to hide behind.
In order to avoid being discovered, the two were close together and feeling the temperature of Sivia beside them, Xing Tianyu was somewhat distracted. He pretended to look at Sivia inadvertently. From his perspective, he could easily see the unfathomable **. Sivia's expression was very focused, and she did not feel Xing Tianyu's gaze at all. Xing Tianyu suddenly smelled a faint and strange fragrance, which was a bit like a flower fragrance, but slightly different, a bit like perfume, but not so rich. He couldn't help but look at Sivia. "What perfume are you using?"
"I don't need any perfume, I guess what you smell is magic."
Xing Tianyu thought it was strange. It turned out that magic smelled so good.
The two of them had a bit ambiguous posture, and hiding in the bushes in broad daylight made Xing Tianyu feel a little stupid. He adjusted his posture and looked up. The open space outside was still very quiet. The two of them waited for more than ten minutes, but the prayer elves still had no intention of appearing.
Xing Tianyu couldn't help asking. "We must have been fooled, maybe..." Sivia raised her hand and stopped him, "Shh, someone is here."
Sure enough, a heavy and messy footsteps were coming from far to near. Something was approaching their place. Xing Tianyu's heart immediately raised. He stared at the direction where the sound came, thinking that it was a prayer elf? He was quite looking forward to meeting the prayer elf.
However, to his disappointment, two guys in black suits walked out of the woods, the two guys I had seen in the hotel before.
One of them was carrying a food bag, and he was still shooting with a cell phone in his hand, while the other was also holding a cell phone for shooting, and complained loudly. "Hell, Simon, why are we going to this place where birds don't poop? You won't really believe those red-neck words."
Simon shook his head, "I don't know if what they said is true or false, but I can be sure of some things. Some strange things happened in that town, and we need to figure it out."
"Don't forget how we decided to be a pair of mysticists, look for those mysterious events hidden in the dark, write a legendary life, or do you want to go back and continue to sit in the office? I've had enough of that boring life."
Charlie looked helpless, "But we have been searching for so long, and we haven't discovered any supernatural events. I feel a little bit like we may have thought too much. There are no supernatural things in this world, and there are no monsters like vampires and werewolves. Didn't the legends about witches and Indians prove to be fake in the end?"
Simon nodded, "Maybe you are right, but what does that matter? Look at our Twitter, the number of fans has exceeded 500,000. If we continue like this, we will sooner or later become internet celebrities. Even if we can't find anything valuable, we can make a living."
Charlie looked at Simon in surprise, "Wait a minute, this is not the idea you planned to do at the beginning, so you will send the process of each adventure to youtube."
Simon shrugged, "I have to do something just in case, it's not bad, right? What food did we bring?"
Charlie looked at the food bag, "Bread, cheese, canned beef, salted biscuits, toffees, two cans of beer, and some fruit, so what should we use as a sacrifice to that ghost in the forest?"
Simon thought for a while: "Put it all up, there is always something it loves to eat, etc. Leave me a can of beer. After walking so far, I was a little thirsty and was giving me a loaf of bread."
