Chapter 35 The Candy House in the Fairy Tale

After killing Ice Fist, all I have to do is find the Magic Dessert Master. However, although I have roughly known from Ice Fist that the Magic Dessert Master is nearby, because there is no specific location, it may take some effort to find it.

The best way to know the specific location of the Magic Dessert Master is of course not to find it yourself, but to ask someone to ask. Although the hiding location of the Magic Dessert Master is a secret matter, and others cannot know the specific location of the Magic Dessert Master, since this place is a gathering area for players, there are naturally many people. It is difficult to hide the secrets when there are too many people. Perhaps no one knows the specific location of the Magic Dessert Master, but there must be many people who know some clues, but no one cares because they don’t know what this information represents. However, as long as I can collect these messy information and filter it, I will soon find some clues about the Magic Dessert Master.

First of all, the magic dessert master will never be in densely populated areas, so there is no need to find the main areas of the leveling area. Those places have been dug up three feet long ago. If there is any secret, it will definitely be dug out. So I directly found a few players who are leveling here and planned to ask if there are any off-the-scenes or hidden places nearby. Anyway, as long as it is an unknown area, it may be the target.

"Is there an unknown area?" Several players who were asked by me looked at each other and shook their heads unanimously. One of the guys said, "The Fairy Tale Forest is also a world-famous scenic spot to level up. Of course, there are unknown areas, but they are all in the depths of the Fairy Tale Forest."

"Fairy Tale Forest?"

"You haven't heard of it?" The other party was obviously surprised.

I shook my head and said, "I heard it, but I didn't expect it to be in this position. That. What is the specific scope we are in now?"

"scope?"

"It's the approximate location."

"In terms of location, we should be on the border between France and Belgium. After all, the fairy tale forest and the black forest are connected, but most of the black forests are in Germany, while most of the fairy tale forests are in our France. However, our current location is deeper into the fairy tale forest. Because there is a medium-sized town nearby, with a teleportation array inside, everyone enters the fairy tale forest through here to level up."

I nodded and said, "So, can you tell me what range does the depths of the fairy tale forest, that is, those unknown areas include?"

"If you want us to say this, we can't explain it clearly."

I handed over a map directly, and the other party was obviously surprised after seeing it. Then he quickly realized that he began to mark several areas on the map. These places were not connected together, but were divided into pieces, most of which were in France, and a small number were in Belgium. Some were distributed to Germany, Switzerland and even Italy. From this, we can see that the fairy tale forest is actually very large and has an area spanning several countries. Of course, compared with the Black Forest, it is still slightly smaller. However, the Black Forest is close to the elliptical distribution range, which looks small, but the fairy tale forest is long. At first glance, the coverage area is large, but the total area is not very exaggerated.

I originally had the general coordinates and I planned to take a look. But after thinking about it, I asked casually. "That... I wonder if you have heard of anyone who can make candies with attributes nearby?"

"Candy with attributes?" Several people were stunned for a moment, and then began to think. After most of them shook their heads and said they didn't know, a player suddenly stood up and said, "If you want to say that there is indeed one dessert with special effects, there is indeed one, but that thing is not something that players can collect?"

"Really?" I asked casually, but I didn't expect that someone actually knew about it.

The other party seemed uncertain and said, "I don't know if what you are looking for is the place I know, but there is really a dessert there with special attribute effects. I once saw a player accidentally caught him."

"I've been hit?" I always thought that the Magic Dessert Master was a wild NPC. After all, it was difficult to limit the player's personal freedom. However, following the player's introduction, the other party seemed to have attacked other players. So in this way, the other party was not a wild NPC, but... a monster?

Sure enough, the player spoke out: "I wonder if you have ever heard a fairy tale called "Candy House"?"

"Candy House?" I read it first, and then suddenly realized. "You are talking about the small house made by the old witch with candy, right? I seem to remember that two children ate some of the building materials of the candy house, and then got caught by the old witch. After that, the old witch fed the two children with chicken legs every day, intending to eat them when they gain weight, right?"

The player nodded and said, "This is a world-famous fairy tale, and has been adapted in many versions. What you said is a bit different from the original work, but it is roughly like this. But do you know why the forest we are in now is called the fairy tale forest?"

“Will it be…?”

"Yes, this forest contains almost all the famous fairy tales in the world, and each fairy tale comes with a copy area like a small map. The story of Candy House also has a corresponding copy area here."

I seemed to have thought of something when I heard the player's explanation. Since the old witch in the candy house made a house with candy, this witch can barely be considered a dessert master? Moreover, the candy house in the fairy tale itself has magic power, that is, it is actually a magic dessert. So, in this way... Is the magic dessert master I am looking for is actually a BOSS-level monster here? I'm so dizzy, how did that bastard Bingquan ask the BOSS to provide him with magic dessert? So far

In addition to showing some preferential treatments such as not actively attacking players who appear in the world, I have never heard of any boss who will cooperate with players. Of course, I have indeed done similar things, but that is caused by the two-way effects of my pressure and charm attributes. Besides, the bosses I cooperate with are all dark, and they are in line with my attributes. So the initial value of favorability is very high. But that guy from Ice Fist does not seem to have similar abilities?

Although I couldn't figure it out, I decided to go and see the old witch who can make candy first. No matter what, the BOSS setting is very close to the characteristics of the Magic Dessert Master, so the old witch is very likely to be the so-called Magic Dessert Master. Of course, if the old witch is really a Magic Dessert Master, then how to provide her with magic desserts in the future will probably become a very difficult task, because no matter how you look at the old witch who can make candy does not look like a dark existence. In this case, my affinity and pressure attributes alone may not be intimidating. Of course, I don't have to worry about these for the time being. Whether I can finally control this BOSS will have to wait until I confirm whether the other party is a Magic Dessert Master.

"Thank you for your help. This is a little thank you." I pulled out a bow from the Fenglong space and handed it over, and then asked, "Finally, please tell me how to find that candy house."

After taking the longbow generously, the other party helped me mark a circle on the previous map. Obviously, this candy house is close to one of the unexplored areas. Fortunately, this place is not too far from here. Of course, this just proves my previous guess. The guy from Ice Fist does not need to teleportation array but has to work hard to find the magic dessert master. At that time, I guessed that this place must be close to the residence of the magic dessert master, otherwise Ice Fist would never have traveled far away to such places. Now seeing the candy house as it is so close to here, it further confirms my previous guess.

After saying goodbye to those players, I immediately started to move towards the candy house marked on the map. Along the way, I could see many players leveling up. However, the number was more tourist groups.

"Zero" is not a simple battle game. Such a high number of players is not because everyone likes to fight and kill. The biggest reason why "Zero" has so many players is its compatibility, rather than the improvement of the combat system. No matter how good the combat system is, it can only attract players who like to fight. But some things can attract anyone, such as the tourism system and sleep assistance system.

The world in Zero is very beautiful. Not only does it have natural wonders in reality, but it also adds many mythological dream scenes. Moreover, this myth system itself is based on mythological stories from all over the world, so the cultural heritage is very strong, and even those who like to study deeply can be satisfied here. It is precisely because these mythological scenes that are rich in cultural atmosphere in various places that have led to the huge tourism market in Zero. However, it is easy to say that combat players can just spend some money to cross the border and arrive at their destination before entering the mountain adventure journey.

It's OK to play, but the problem is that there are many non-combat players in "Zero". These people will receive additional protection from the system in the city, and they will almost never be harmed as long as there is no siege war. However, it's not possible in the wild. In the system settings, public areas and combat areas are set up for outdoor environments. Those public areas only have ornamental creatures, so non-combat players can move freely, but the problem is that all the attractions that are truly worth seeing are in combat areas, so non-combat players have to protect them if they want to go there, which has led to the rise of tourist groups.

A group of people with the same travel goals form a group tour, and then hire some combat players to act as part-time tour guides for guards, thus forming a tour group.

Since the fairy tale forest is a forest based on the real fairy tales, it will naturally attract countless players to visit. Among these people, there are not only a large number of combat players, but also non-combat players, especially children.

The game "Zero" does not restrict children from entering the game, but requires a guardian's permission. After all, there are many things in "Zero" that are very beneficial to children, such as children's classrooms, which can be received online in some natural science education. It can not only be used as a supplement to classroom education, but more importantly, it enriches children's careers and cultivates their personalities that they like to explore. These things are things that schools cannot give. Of course, the more important reason is that children like various magical settings in "Zero". After all, compared to adults, children's imagination is obviously richer. The dreamy game world is naturally more attractive to them, and they can learn a lot by the way, so parents naturally do not object.

For places like fairy tale forests, because of various fairy tales, it is naturally a place that children yearn for. Children from all over the country often come here with their parents to visit and play. Imagine spending the night in the dwarf's dwarf's house and picking mushrooms with small animals in the forest. How attractive are these things to the children? Even stories like Little Red Riding Hood can be participated. Anyway, there are scrolls for the return to the city and call systems in the city, so parents are not worried about the children's loss. Many brave children will even help Little Red Riding Hood fight wolves together. Of course, this is a combat area. The wolves here are not something that children can beat, but they don't have to worry too much.

Heart, after all, the fairy tale forest has a special status, so there will be special protection for tourists, especially children, such as ignoring the setting of existence. Here, even if children actively attack the bad guys in fairy tales, the other party will not give priority to attacking the children, but will first attack those combat players and the kind camp NPCs set in fairy tales. As long as the above personnel die, it will be the children's turn. Moreover, even if they attack children, these monsters will have special attack methods, which will make the children feel a sense of blow. However, there will be no subsequent pain, and even if they are fatal injuries, there will be only mild pain. Anyway, the children will not be frightened or something.

These humanized settings allow a large number of players of different strengths to entertain in this forest at the same time. For combat players, monsters are still very powerful. They are not weakened. For children and parents who are not fighting power who are just here to accompany, monsters are not particularly terrible. Anyway, everyone can have fun and don’t have to worry about anything. Of course, this is only limited to certain children’s fairy tales, and some more exaggerated stories are still relatively dangerous. For example, the story of Dragon and Princess is that the princess is snatched by the evil dragon, and the brave kills the evil dragon and steals the princess back from then on, and lives an exciting and happy life.

Although this fairy tale-like story is barely considered a fairy tale, it is really not something that everyone can participate. After all, there are dragons here, and none of the giant dragons in "Zero" are easy to deal with. Once they are out of the shell, they are level 200 monsters. The growth period can be upgraded from level 200 to level 200, and all adults are above level 200, and various attributes completely surpass monsters at the same level. They are fighting monsters among monsters. The most annoying thing is that they are easy to gather together. If you accidentally cause a large group of people, they are their main characteristics. Therefore, all tasks involving dragons are high-risk tasks, including fairy tales with giant dragons appearing.

Although some fairy tales are not suitable for travel, the stories of Candy House seem to be not listed here. At least I think this should be the case, because there are a lot of tour groups I saw along the way, and many of them brought a lot of children. If it was really violent, there would definitely be no so many parents who brought their children.

Moving along the relatively wide road, the number of combat players began to decline, and the number of tour groups was not small. After all, the system gave them special preferential treatment, so the threat to tour groups is not as great as that of combat players. Moreover, combat players are not unable to get here. The main reason why they don’t come here is because the monsters here are too high for them. Although they can beat them, what they need is speed when leveling up. Every time they fight for both sides, they can kill a monster. It’s okay to say that when pushing the boss, it’s obviously not worth it to deal with ordinary monsters. Therefore, when leveling up, everyone will only find the monster with the fastest speed with the average experience, rather than the monster with the highest level.

After walking for a while, a fork appeared in front of me, and there was a five-way intersection. In addition to the road I came over, there were four roads in front. This place seemed to be a small gathering point, with a large open space nearby, where many players did their final rest, and there were also people setting up stalls on the ground next to them to sell some supplies.

Yeying stopped at the fork and turned around and asked me which way to take. I didn't remember the specific route, so I had to look out and compare it. Although I had a map of this place, it was automatically updated by our guild's library. It was not something I explored by myself, so although there was a map, I didn't know the way, so I could only look at the map by myself.

"Let me see the lower road. The fork road... the fork road... Oh, I found it, the second road on the right."

Yeying started to turn when she heard my words, but we were surrounded by a large group of people just turned around.

"Are you going to the Candy House?" A player said to me first: "Let's join us? The treatment will be better."

It is very common to buy a group near a tourist attraction, because many players come by themselves. They may not find a tour group in advance for various reasons, and they all come here before forming a group. The advantage of this grouping method is that it is cheap, and the disadvantage is that it may take some time to wait for people.

"Sorry, I have something to do. It's not convenient to lead a group."

"Oh, then forget it." The person who led the team did not bother me and quickly left me to find other players who seemed very powerful to join the group. However, although he left and took away many people, some of them still did not leave.

"Well, can you help me find my child?" A man stood beside Ye Ying and looked up at me and asked. I was about to refuse. He immediately continued, "Please, he has been missing for almost six hours, and we really have no choice!"

Although he was lost for six hours, the man's performance was not very anxious. After all, he would go back and resurrect even if he died. It's not that the person was really lost. Besides, the children who need adults to accompany him to travel must not be a combat profession. The death of such people is not a problem at all. Anyway, they have no combat level, and there is no punishment for death. Of course, even if the children in the game are lost, it's okay, but the character account is still related to many things, so it's not convenient to delete the account frequently, and the body in the game cannot be found without deleting the account. That will affect many things, such as traveling to other places. After all, the corresponding characters of the account cannot go to other places if they don't come back. Therefore, although this man is not very anxious, he looks depressed, after all, this is a trouble.

When I heard the man's words, I thought for a while and said, "I have my own business and I don't have time to help you find a child, but if I meet him halfway, I will bring him back. Send me a photo of you having a child."

"Really? Thank you so much." After hearing this, the man immediately handed over a small piece of crystal. This is the carrier specially used in the game to record images and videos. It belongs to the memory crystal storage unit, which is the same as the memory card of the digital camera.

I took the crystal and inserted it directly into my wrist. I immediately saw a large photo popping out. "Which is your son?" The suddenly opened photo was not a single person, but a group photo, with more than twenty children and six adults on it.

Hearing my inquiry, the man said embarrassedly: "Well, since you are willing to help, can you take a look at other children?"

"Other kids?"

The man quickly reached out and pointed a few of the children, and said, "These are all children with us."

"All of them are lost?" I asked in surprise, because there were already eight people who added a piece of children he ordered.

The other party said: "They were lost together. We guessed that they should have wanted to go some places where we didn't plan to take them to, but there are only three combat players among the guardians of our eight children, and they have already gone to find them. None of us can get in and can't find them, so we can only wait here. Please send them back if you see them."

I nodded and said, "If I see it, I will bring them back, but I won't go looking for them specifically, so don't say too much hope. If it really doesn't work, call them off with a helmet and call the bell. It will be easier to ask for the situation and then send someone to find it."

"Okay, if we really can't find it, we will use the call ring."

I nodded and remembered the appearance of those children, and then said goodbye to this father and drove Yeying into the forest.

The route from the fork road became narrower and narrower, and the more you went, the fewer the traces of the road, and in the end you could hardly see the road. You had to choose a foothold between the trees and the rocks, and even I had to put away Yeying and hiking. It's not that the road here would affect Yeying's movements. After all, Yeying can fly, and the ground conditions have no effect on him at all. The key is that the trees in this place are too dense, and the growing branches block the air. I always hit these branches when I rode Yeying, so I had to get down and walk.

"This is a ghost place." I couldn't help complaining after pulling out one of my legs that were trapped in the mud with force.

Since the road disappeared, the ground in this place has become increasingly difficult to walk. The mud and other things are quite good. The most troublesome thing is that this place is rich in human-eating vines. These vines are distributed under the rotten leaves on the ground and you can't see them at all, but as soon as you step on them, the branches will immediately lift up and roll you over, and then pull them towards the huge human-eating flowers or human-eating trees. Anyway, the beauty is definitely not waiting for you.

After a difficult journey between the trees, I really couldn't stand this damn road condition, so I just called Frost and Snow out with all my heart, and then everything became much simpler.

A white road appeared at our feet in an instant, and as we moved forward, the road also automatically extended forward. All the dead branches and leaves and mud pools were covered with thick ice. Except for a little slippery, nothing would affect my progress. As for those branches blocking the road... they had long been frozen like shortbread in the extreme cold and could not have any interception effect at all.

Through this method, I finally quickly passed this extremely difficult journey, and then the forest ahead suddenly changed. From a certain location, the surrounding tree species seemed to be mixed, a taller and taller, more fresh-looking tree gradually replaced those eccentric and uglier-looking strange tree species. The mud and rotten leaves on the ground began to become less and less, and the ground gradually became solid and safe.

Since I didn't have that annoying mud pit, I took back Frost and Snow. After all, the magic of the Ice and Snow Path is also quite devourable.

As I continued to move forward, the surrounding trees finally reached a relatively normal state and could no longer see a strange tree. Moreover, the light in the surrounding forest began to gradually return to normal. In some places, some cute little animals could still see their heads coming out of the distance and then quickly shrank back.

Looking at the changes around me, I probably guessed that I had entered the so-called fairy tale copy area, because the things around me obviously became more and more beautiful. Soon, my speculation was confirmed, because just after I walked around a small slope, a winding stream appeared in front of me, and behind the stream was a meadow. A colorful and fancy little house was located in the middle of the grass, and behind the small house was a colorful tree shining with seven colors of light.

In fact, when I first saw this house, I guessed that this one was probably a candy house, because the bright color was obviously a candy color. Although there are bright colors in nature, they are usually not so bright.

Since the Candy House appeared, it means that the Magic Dessert Master may be nearby. After scanning the left and right, I immediately stepped across the stream and walked over to the Super Candy House.

Originally, I planned to go to the house to see the situation first, but what I didn't expect was that when I walked to the door, grabbed the handle on the door and pulled it out and gently, the door that was slightly short to me fell directly out. Looking at the door handle in my hand and the inside of the door, looking at me with confusion, and the group of children with colorful syrup on my face was like a clown on my face, I was stunned there.
