[Comprehensive Fairy Tale] The Uncrowned King

"who are you?"

"I'm just passing by. Excuse me, how can I get to the nearest city?"

Samuel tried to smile more kindly, but despite his age the able-bodied fishermen were wary.Samuel didn't understand why they looked like this, so he smiled weakly again.

"You tell me how to get to the nearest city, and I'll go straight there without disturbing you."

"... To get to the nearest city, you have to go through the forest behind, and there is a small village behind the forest, and you will be there after crossing that small village." After a while, one of the taller and stronger men replied hesitantly.

"OK, thanks."

Samuel turned around and left. It was really the look in the eyes of the people here that made him murmur.Why, does he have a vicious face?Obviously Samuel used the mirror egg under the little flower to take a photo, but he was blond and blue-eyed, just like the portrait of the Holy Son in the middle world, very good-looking.

Xiao Hua jumped out of the bag Samuel was carrying.Because it would be too weird to run around with a hen in his arms, Samuel got a backpack to carry, and Xiaohua would stay in the backpack where there were people.Now that Samuel had set off into the forest, Xiaohua jumped out.

"Idiot, you can tell by looking at your own clothes!"

"my clothes?"

Samuel lowered his head and looked at his clothes. Isn't there anything surprising?Very ordinary style, dusty color, this is still according to the clothes that people in Luan town wear.

However, thinking about what those fishermen were wearing, Samuel suddenly realized.Because his own clothes are made under small flowers and are recyclable, they look very new, and there are no traces of mending and wear. So those fishermen feel that they are not the same kind of people?Well, but this also reminded Samuel, if he usually deals with people, he also deals with civilians, and although his clothes are very ordinary, they are also very prominent in their eyes, even His clean body and radiant expression are also different from ordinary civilians.

It's too careless, so it won't be able to disappear from the crowd. If people pay attention to it deliberately, they will definitely find the strangeness brought by Xiaohua on their body.

Samuel stopped in the forest, found a bush with no human traces, and set up his own tent. He thought that he could not take off his disguise, but he might be punished because his clothes were newer than others. Jealousy or being robbed from the rich to give to the poor.Samuel still remembers that his father, who was a university professor, went to other places for an exchange and bought Samuel the latest Transformers model. Samuel couldn't help showing it off at school, but the next day his classmates went to the teacher Make a report, saying that he didn't study hard.

Before going to bed, Samuel hugged Xiaohua, and using the fisherman's clothes as a reference, he imagined a neat cloak with patches, dull color and frayed edges. The next day he smashed a gray cloak on the surface The fluttering and colorful egg replaced the old clothes with the old ones.Fortunately, although the clothes are imagined to be old, they are actually new, which does not affect their comfort and has no peculiar smell.Samuel messed up his hair a little more, brushed his teeth deliberately without washing his face, and continued on the road with Xiao Hua in his arms.

"Why are you so careful?"

"Being scared, I always feel that this world is too scary, so I am prepared."

"It's really courageous."

"Xiaohua, before you say this, can you think about your own species issue? Aww! Don't peck! Xiaohua is a brave chicken, and she is very courageous!"

After comforting Xiao Hua, Samuel began to concentrate on observing the way forward.This forest is unexpectedly large. Samuel walked all morning and did not reach the edge of the forest, so he thought in his heart, is it because the forest is too big and difficult to pass through, so basically no one would go there In a small fishing village, they are so exclusive because they have never met strangers?

At least for now, Samuel is also worried that he will get lost.Fortunately, Samuel has been adjusting himself to walk in one direction, and paying attention to the surrounding environment, so far he has not taken the same path.

Look at this, it is going to go for a few days.Samuel was not afraid of eating, drinking, or wild animals. Although he would shudder if he accidentally chose a cross-section of the forest, he didn't change direction.Now there are a lot of eggs saved by Xiaohua every day, and Xiaohua has never mentioned that there is still a limit to the number of eggs laid, so Samuel can think about improving his living conditions. Samuel even made one yesterday. Tree house tents, climb to the trees to sleep at night, and can prevent wild animals on the ground, as well as venomous snakes and other creatures that inhabit the trees.

After walking for a few days, Samuel became impatient.When his life was not in danger, Samuel still had that frizzy personality. When he thought about how much time it would take to walk through this forest, he felt bad about himself.At this time, a bird suddenly flew in front of Samuel. The bird was white and beautiful, as if it had been raised by someone. It stood on a branch and began to sing and sing.The picture was beautiful, but Samuel became wary.How could such a bird live in the forest?This hair is not suitable for hiding at all.

It's just that the bird sang very well, and Samuel couldn't help but stop and listen to him.After a moment of distraction, the bird’s song was over, and it flew in front of Samuel again, and flew forward for a certain distance, repeating this movement, as if signaling Samuel to follow him, and seeing that Samuel still did not move , so he came over to peck his hand again.

Xiao Hua angrily called "Cuckoo" at the bird.Samuel's hand is the only one that can peck it, and this poor bird still wants to rob it of its "welfare"?And Samuel watched the bird gradually start to get anxious, looked at him pleadingly, and called a few more times, as if he needed him, thinking to himself that this kind of plot, is it going to save some princess?And the forest has never been able to get out, is it also related to this matter?Maybe I really have to go there to walk through the plot.

Samuel thought to himself, even if the witch did this, in fairy tales, the witch is always easily destroyed by the prince with the sword.Although he is not a prince, his sword skills have also been tested by the little mermaid, so he hinted that Xiao Hua laid a sword egg, held the egg in his hand, and was ready to smash it at any time. .

Seeing him advancing, the little bird happily flew around Samuel's head.Such a lovely elf creature made Samuel think that this should not be a part of fighting witches, but a plot of saving the world.He followed the little bird for a long time, until he came to a clearing that had been cleaned up. There was a small house standing on the clearing. Don't pay attention to Samuel anymore.

So this is where it ends?It's just that this room is unusual, as if it was imagined by a child in a dream, and it reminded Samuel of the world of sweets in the movie "Charlie's Chocolate Factory".This hut is made with bread as the skeleton, white bread that is very expensive here, probably with some honey added, it smells very sweet, the roof is very thick cream cake, the eaves are embedded with fruit pieces, and the windows It is composed of transparent sugar cubes, but because of the color problem, it cannot see the scene in the room through it.

Samuel overturned his own thoughts again, and didn't dare to go in at this time.If it was a dilapidated hut, Samuel would dare, but such a strange and beautiful house made Samuel feel that it was a honey that seduced people.If a hungry traveler comes to a house made of this material, he will definitely rush up and start chewing, but after eating, will he become a pig like the parents of Chihiro in "Spirited Away"?Samuel thought to himself, fortunately he is not an ordinary hungry traveler, in fact, ignoring the smell from the house, the material of the house itself did not bring him any temptation.In modern times, what dessert has he not eaten?And the cream cake has long been tired of eating, and if he wants to eat it, he will eat chocolate, fruit and fresh milk, not to mention that he doesn't like bread anymore. This house, I guess, can only seduce people here.

Samuel looked at the bird who was anxious to let him come here before, and now the bird didn't care about him at all, as if he had achieved the purpose of bringing him here and didn't care about it, Samuel couldn't help it Too many conspiracy theories.Samuel began to recall the fairy tales he had read, were they related to the bakery?But the fairy tales he read when he was young, now only the most popular ones are left, and the rest are covered by the cool articles he read on the Internet.

To be cautious, Samuel quietly took a few steps back, thinking it would be better to avoid such an obvious plot to be triggered.It's just that he retreated too late, at this moment, the door of the bakery was pushed open, and an old woman stood out.The old woman was very old, her eyes were squinted, she was leaning on a cane, she was holding the door tremblingly, and she focused for a while before she turned her eyes on Samuel.

"Hey, where did this good boy come from? Are you hungry after walking for so long? Come on, come to my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law will cook something delicious for you and make sure you are full. Grandma, sleep here!"

Samuel couldn't judge the old woman's good and evil from her wrinkled and expressionless face, but he didn't want to enter this weird house, so he asked the old woman:

"Thank you for your kindness, but I am neither hungry nor sleepy. Excuse me, do you know how to get out of this forest?"
