Chapter 140

The little leprechaun screamed and rolled and struggled in the trap created by the "greasy technique". Before he could climb out of the greasy area, Joan had already remotely controlled the "Hand of the High Mage" and approached him with the electric light blade tightly.

The young sorcerer's eyes were like icy blades, and the leprechaun couldn't help shivering, and hurriedly picked up the storage bag and screamed for mercy.

"Cold... Calm down, my friend! I'm just kidding you!"

"Even if you don't come after me, I will return the package to you later! Uh, at most I will leave a gold coin as a souvenir..."

"Gods, this is really just a little joke, just a joke! You don't need to be so angry, you should have a sense of humor, right?"

"joke?"

Joan gritted his teeth, his fair and handsome face was slightly distorted, and it looked extremely ferocious against the backdrop of that murderous one-eyed.

Joan couldn't tell whether the leprechaun's words were a sophistry or it was really just a prank. Even if it was true that the leprechaun was only "joking", as the leprechaun said, he had picked the wrong person for the joke.

"Am I familiar with you? Are you kidding me!"

The little goblin doesn't know how much Joan cares about her storage bag, doesn't know that it is a precious gift from grandpa to Joan, doesn't know that the bag contains all of Joan's belongings and dreams, doesn't know that Joan wants to make up for it. How much has he suffered and suffered for the tuition in the bag, let alone how shocked and regretful Joan was when he found out that he had snatched the storage bag from revenge. furious.

"You don't know anything, why are you making such vicious 'jokes' with me?"

"joke?"

"joke?"

"I'm kidding you ××!!"

...

Every time Joan roared, he stabbed fiercely, and when the fury in his heart subsided, the little leprechaun had already been stabbed to pieces by him and died long ago.

The bloody corpse made Joan feel a strong sense of nausea. He turned his back and retched a few times, barely suppressing the urge to retch, his heart was beating fast, and the strange thing was that the deformed eyeball on the back of his neck was also beating with his heartbeat Vigorously pulsating, there seemed to be a kind of distorted pleasure quietly growing in his heart.

"No! That's not right!" Joan pressed backhand hard on the pulsating deformed eyeball on the back of his neck, as if it was about to break free from him, forced himself to calm down with all his willpower, and murmured sadly: "Out of control anger and Crazy massacres, this is nothing to be proud of... This is not like you, Joan Vida, don't forget grandpa's advice - don't indulge yourself into a monster!"

Standing quietly in the forest like this, after an unknown amount of time, the young mage's excitement finally calmed down, and the eyeball on the back of his neck also returned to calm and closed quietly.

Joan sighed, put on the cloak and hood again, covering the eyes behind the neck. The sludge created by the "greasing technique" has disappeared, and only the corpse of the leprechaun is still lying alone in the middle of the open space.

Joan took back the storage bag, took out a shovel from it, and dug a pit to bury the leprechaun on the spot. After that, he untied the reins tied to the tree, got on his horse, and continued on his way.

Accidentally encountering the "stump monster" and "leprechaun" in the forest took up a lot of time for Joan, and the sun was already westward when he went on the road again. In order to make up for the delayed trip as much as possible, Qiao An decided to take advantage of the sunny weather to take an extra night trip.

The horseshoes stepped briskly across the grass, followed the gurgling water and galloped like the wind, and ran to the middle of the moon in one breath before snorting wearily. Joan noticed that the black horse's running speed was obviously slowing down, so he reined in the reins and jumped off the horse's back, took out a towel from the saddle bag to wipe the sweat from the horse's mane. The horse is the only companion of a lonely traveler. If you don’t take care of it and overdraw the horse’s physical strength, it is likely to cause irreparable damage to the horse. It will become weaker and weaker during the next journey, and it will even become a drag on the owner. .

There is a folk proverb in Delin Town called "hot cheese cannot be eaten in a hurry", translated into a more elegant elf language is "haste makes waste". Joan has read a lot of books, so of course he understands these principles. However, there are only three days left before the start of school, and he is only halfway through his itinerary. If he doesn't hurry up at night, he may not be able to reach Leiden College in time.

Joan caressed the black pony's slender and smooth neck apologetically, hesitated for a moment, raised his left hand, palm facing the sky, and called out "Tears of God" with his thoughts.

Responding to his call, his palm became slightly warm, and a crystal clear teardrop-shaped gemstone emerged from his palm, shining like a dream under the moonlight.

Joan activated the special ability "Philosophy's Stone" of "Tears of God", dipped it into a kettle, made a potion with the effect of "secondary restoration", and fed it to the horse.

After drinking the potion, the black horse soon became exhausted and became full of vitality again. Joan stepped on the horse and flicked the rein to urge the horse to gallop.

Under the moonlight, the broad Yifen River is rushing and flowing, and the surface of the river reflects the moonlight and sparkles. The young mage galloped along the river bank on a black steed, a shadowy silhouette cast by the moonlight behind him.

Low grass grows by the river, and beyond is a gradually denser jungle. Joan rode close to the river bank. Firstly, because the Ivene River is like a reliable guide, walking along the river can avoid getting lost; Surviving in such an environment, coupled with the fact that elk, bison, and even huge herbivorous dinosaurs often migrate in clusters by the river, eating leaves and grass while drinking water, in this way, all the shrubs that originally grew on the river were eaten up. Stepping flat, the roads on both sides of the river are flat, with a wide field of vision, making it easier for travelers to pass.

·Vares Monster Manual: Leprechaun

Leprechauns are little tricksters who love to joke. They are often found in forests, maintaining a close connection with nature like other fey creatures.

Leprechauns enjoy teasing unsuspecting passers-by as much as they love good wine and good food. They often steal valuable items from adventurers, attract them to chase them, and then use their own spells to hide and disappear. When the opponent is about to give up, they will show up openly, triggering a new round of chasing games.

Leprechauns are not evil by nature, and end up dropping their loot and slipping away, leaving their property to an angry pursuer—except gold.

Leprechauns love gold and often bury them in secret locations. Rumor has it that if someone picks up a gold coin in the forest and returns it to the leprechaun who lost it, he will be rewarded with a "wishing spell".

Unfortunately, the rumor was false—probably the leprechauns themselves had spread the rumor so that someone else would give the gold their hands.
