Journey In A Fantasy World

Journey In A Fantasy World
Sleeping Princess


Four wolves lined up in front of the city's barrier. We looked up. Looking at the barrier alone, we can already guess that Luse City is no grander than Pubu City.


There was no one who dressed luxuriously like the people in Pubu City. They prefer to dress dark and simple, in contrast to the citizens of Pubu City who like to dress colorful and striking with a crystal-fruited magic wand.


"It looks like their magic abilities are really low." Rui whispered in my ear.


I nodded at him, it seems like Rui was right. Here there was no one passing by on a flying magic wand.


No one is walking either. They flew low about five centimeters above the ground on a long plank. It was like a skateboard without wheels.


Do you remember the game subway surf? More or less like that shape.


Rui and I stepped into the city gate. And keep walking to join the city crowd.


Win and Zhi stopped our steps. Win pointed to a shop whose outer courtyard was filled with long boards just like the ones people used.


"Are we going to buy it too?" Rui looked at me, I shrugged, maybe I did.


Win grin wide, "It's exhausting to walk, Rui. Besides, we could've caught people's attention if it looked different on its own."


We entered the shop area. The shop owner asked us what board we needed. Win said he wanted a board that could be used in the long run.


Shopkeepers recommend several different types. Win selects the most expensive. And take four boards of the same kind.


Me and Rui looked at each other, isn't this called waste?


Zhi laughed looking at our shocked faces, "That win has a lot of money, Jian, Rui. No need to worry about saving money, he brought a lot of money. We're not going to starve for at least another month."


Rui and I nodded, alright, then I will be relieved. Win handed out those boards to us.


"We haven't had breakfast yet, let's find a little restaurant to eat." Win casually threw his board, and jumped on top of that floating board.


He then started walking towards the crowded streets. Zhi caught up with him, me and Rui also followed. Originally not very ordinary, it was difficult to control the balance, but this was the same as riding a magic wand. It was just that his flying ability was very low. It can only fly as high as one inch.


"Can we fly higher?" Rui spelled out Zhi who was flying in front of us.


Zhi shook his head, "You'll fall if you force it to fly higher."


Rui again lowered her long board while grinning wide. We stopped at a dark brown building.


There are a lot of people coming in and out of the doors of this building. This is a small restaurant that Win just mentioned.


We chose a four-seat table next to an eight-seat table containing beautiful women chatting casually.


Win sat back against the girls dressed in dark robes, and we also sat on the empty seats.


A square board floated towards us. Win took. It looks like a cookbook. Win handed it to Rui after selecting a few items.


Rui showed me the board, "What do you want to eat, Jian?"


I looked around, the names of the food sounded strange, I didn't think the food would be as good as any other food I'd ever eaten before.


I also saw an item marked Win, the name is very strange, "You used to choose, Rui." I handed it to Rui again.


It seems that he chose the same menu as Win. He said, at least Win probably knows what kind of food he chose.


I looked at him in wonder. "I prefer random," then mark the item with the origin.


I handed the board to Zhi, he didn't even think before marking the item. It seems like Zhi has the same thoughts as me.


"Oh, no! Looks like the mayor's daughter's life isn't long." The person behind us suddenly called out hysterically.


"He's been asleep for a hundred days. The Mayor calls us to dance for him, and it has no effect. We are used to waking him with our song, Princess Mayor is always angry when hearing the strains of our song, so immediately woke up even though his sleep was so loud. Now it's just shaking even after we've been dancing for a hundred days" his friend said in a sad tone.


"Was no physician able to cure his illness?" his friend replied and asked.


They shrugged, "For the time being, Luse City has no healer who can cure it."


"I heard that there is a Thousand Roots medicinal plant behind the Mayor's house. It was a rare medicine, could it not be used to awaken the City Guardian Princess?"


Hearing them even say about the Thousand Roots Plant, Win immediately turned his head back, joining in on their conversation.


"The plant is indeed very nutritious, it is said that he can connect the legs separated from his body, can repair the destroyed internal organs, damaged meridians, messy inner energy, blind eyes, and so on, it can even bring the dead back to life. But alas, the Princess Mayor is actually fine, she doesn't need such a medicine to get her up."


"Excuse me ladies, I'm sorry I interrupted your time for a second." Zhi was suddenly already among them alone.


We watched from the other side of the table, it seems that these ladies are quite good, they even shifted one more chair to let Zhi sit down to join them.


"I'm with three of my friends, they're there" Zhi smiled as she pointed at our table. We bowed and smiled. The ladies smiled back at our smiles.


"My name, Zhi. At the meal earlier, I accidentally heard you guys mention about the Thousand Roots Plant, is the location really behind the Mayor's house?" Zhi asked without further ado.


The ladies looked at each other, then one of them nodded, "Indeed, it's behind the Mayor's house. But, why are you asking?" he asked again.


Zhi shook his head, "One of our friends is suffering from severe pain, his internal organs are destroyed and cannot be repaired with magic. Our senior ordered us to search for the Thousand Roots Plant." Zhi even unhesitatingly told us of our existence here.


The ladies nodded their heads, apparently they did not mind Zhi's story, "But the Mayor is a very stingy person. Later he was restless because the princess just wayangnya never wake up after sleeping for a hundred days more. Looks like you guys are going to be hard if you go over there and ask for help to pick up some leaves." The lady seemed to be regretful with her answer which did not help Zhi at all.


His friend patted him on the shoulder, "There may be a way," he looked at Zhi and smiled widely.


"What's that?"


"The Mayor loved his daughter very much. He was very worried because the princess never woke up. If you can wake him up, maybe the Mayor will gladly let you carry the entire stalk of a Thousand Roots." The lady smiled wider, "You guys try. Although the chances are small, if you try, maybe fate will help."


Zhi smiled thankfully, "If you don't meet Miss, it might be difficult for us to get information. Thank you." Thank you."


Those at the table said together, "May your friend be as healthy as ever, Zhi."


"Of course, we'll try hard to get it." Zhi stood up, bowed and walked back to our table.


"If you can wake him up, not only will the Mayor thank you, even the entire Luse City must thank you! Therefore, the spirit!"


Me and Rui smiled happily. This city, better than the City of Pubu we once lived in.


Our food finally came. I was almost surprised to see how it looked. I looked at Win who directly ate it without hesitation.


"This what?" Rui looked at the food in front of her.


I have the same mind. What is this food? Why is it so strange? Like living, slimy worms.


We ordered different foods, but they came in the same shape. Actually, what is the use of the cuisine menu if only one type of food is brought?


Win chuckled, "Taste first, Jian. Tastes good, sour sweet and savory."


I frowned, just staring at my food was not tasteful. Is there no other?
