275: Chapter 271 Farewell Banquet 275: Chapter 271 Farewell Banquet As the Trial Ti drew near, Mu Ying began to prepare her travel gear.
She planned to visit the Thorny Kingdom first and then take the shortest route through the Thorny Kingdom to Moon Port in the Huai Zui Kingdom.
Margreta had gotten pregnant so quickly, and Senior Sister Rosie, who had started dating even earlier, was likely in a tight spot.
Mu Ying was still worried and decided to visit in person.
Thinking of the new friends she had made over the past half-year, and how she had always been invited to their gatherings, she wanted to invite them to get together before she left.
After sending out the invitations, Mu Ying ticulously prepared the als for the gathering, but of course, the most important part was the gifts she had prepared for her friends.
Since there was a party in the evening, the witches who usually loved to co over to play cards didn’t visit during the day, but waited until nightfall to arrive one after another.
Nayaba arrived with Doris and Anaya, Su Na ca with Senior Sister Margreta and her boyfriend Artem, and in the blink of an eye, Mu Ying’s small courtyard was bustling with activity.
The dinner for the day was beer and barbecue, and Mu Ying personally drank sparkling water.
With the help of Magic, they didn’t need to lift a finger.
Sitting on vine chairs that Mu Ying had just made, they enjoyed at, drank beer, and chatted.
“It’s really fast, back in the day, I was also eager to travel to other places as soon as the Trial Ti was over,” Nayaba said with a sigh, “If it weren’t for the need to make money, I would probably be on the road too.
I’m already tired of the n in Canteryala, and they aren’t as fun as mahjong.”
Mu Ying felt deep concern for the noble family that had employed Nayaba.
The girl she had taught, would she truly not beco a social butterfly?
Although the private lives of the nobility in this world were generally quite ssy.
Speaking of mahjong, Mu Ying took out the gifts she had prepared, “When I leave, you’ll have no place to play mahjong anymore.
These are the mahjong sets I made, one for each of you, as parting gifts.”
Actually, these items weren’t worth much; any witch could make them.
But Mu Ying had put thought into it; the back of each person’s mahjong tiles was a different pattern, each reflecting their own favorite elents.
So, it was a gift that was not particularly precious, but very thoughtful.
As expected, everyone else was absolutely delighted with them.
After all, even Margreta, who ca to nourish her fetus, had beco addicted to playing mahjong during this ti.
Mu Ying likewise received carefully prepared gifts from the others.
Nayaba gave her a book, which surprised Mu Ying upon receipt, but as soon as she opened it, she imdiately shut it, “What is this!”
Nayaba proudly said, “This is a hand-drawn catalog of handso n I’ve made.
Of course, it’s not the original.
I copied it using Copying Magic.
It includes handso n I’ve encountered in various countries and cities over the years, a glimpse into the world for the little witch who hasn’t yet indulged.”
The little witch Mu Ying, who hadn’t yet indulged, was so tempted to open the book for everyone to see.
That book was probably more than just a catalog of handso n.
Back in reality, before the apocalypse ca, spreading such books would have landed you in the police station for a nice chat.
“Eh?
That good?
Let have a look!” Margreta was very curious.
Mu Ying quickly stashed the book into her Space Ring, “This is not suitable for pregnant won to see!”
Artem imdiately understood and pulled Margreta to his side, “You’re setting off on a journey, so on Margreta’s behalf, I hunted a lot of fresh at in the forest for you, hoping everything goes smoothly for you.”
After saying that, he poked Margreta.
Margreta could only back down, taking out three large baskets full of ga.
“It’s just in ti, indeed, the at I prepared for graduation seed insufficient,” Mu Ying happily accepted them, truly saving her a lot of trouble.
Next, Doris gave her a large sack of flower seeds, with various little bags within it, organized by species.
It contained all the flower varieties she had collected in the Rose Kingdom over the years, almost comprising 80% of the Kingdom’s floral species.
Anaya gave her a book on techniques and insights for disguising her Magic as sleight of hand when performing in front of humans, while Su Na gifted her a pictorial guide of various countries’ landscapes.
Brimming with a great haul of gifts, Mu Ying felt her heart full, deeming the farewell party a success.
Afterward, Mu Ying discussed her upcoming travel itinerary, prompting Nayaba to remind her, “The thorny trees of the Thorny Kingdom have all co to life and mutated, putting everyone into an eternal slumber.
Nearly no one who enters the Thorny Forest returns.
Be careful when you pass through; if you fly over it on a broomstick from high above, you’ll be fine.”
“Co to life?” Mu Ying chose this destination because, during her previous entrance into the Erald World, the second trial role she drew was that of the slumbering Princess of the Thorny Kingdom.
This sense of déjà vu was too strong, and since the Thorny Kingdom lies between Canteryala and Moon Port, the fastest way to Moon Port was straight through the Thorny Kingdom.
The Thorny Kingdom was so dangerous—if she had chosen the slumbering Princess of the Thorny Kingdom for the nobility of the role, wouldn’t she have ended up trapped for a long ti in the forest?
Wouldn’t that have been a waste of the Trial World?
Moreover, Mu Ying rembered that in her first Trial World, there was no chance to choose a role, and this right to choose in the second Trial World must have been a reward for a high completion rate in the first world.
Just thinking about it, if her completion rate was low for the first world, and in the second world she was randomly assigned any human identity, her advancents couldn’t have been as significant.
Actually, the greatest gain for her in this world was the extraordinary ability that ca with her role’s bloodline, which would have been impossible to obtain had she not been randomly assigned the witch role.
Because only what belonged to her could be transferred out.
Mu Ying made up her mind that even if a third Trial World opened prematurely, she would perfect her exploration of the Erald World first before moving on to maximize benefits.
“Eighteen years ago, the Thorny Kingdom was cursed by a green witch.
At first, no one took the witch’s curse seriously until, ten years later, mutated thorns appeared within the kingdom.
At first, those foolish people took the mutated thorns as treasures to be studied and put on display, cultivated until more and more mutated thorns connected into patches, gradually revealing their power.
They would attack any living person who approached and consciously spread and propagate outward.
About five years ago, they covered the entire Thorny Kingdom.
Actually, by that ti, many civilians had already fled, and only the Royal Family likely remained in the Thorny Kingdom—they were the primary targets of the curse.
Actually, at that ti, the thorny forest was still expanding outward, and everyone was helpless.
It was only because the witch who had initially cast the curse could not bear it anymore.
She returned personally and used Blessing Magic to suppress the curse, preventing further expansion of the thorny forest.”
Doris, being the eldest and having lived the longest, knew a bit more and shared her knowledge.
