"There is a village ahead, let's find a place to take a rest there." Locke said to Peggy: "The place where the queen said the giant lives in seclusion is not far away."

After staying at the Magic Academy for about four months, Locke and Peggy embarked on a journey. This time their target was a giant living in seclusion nearby.

The two of them didn't pursue speed much along the way, enjoying the scenery of the fairy tale world leisurely. When they approached the village, they saw many farmers returning home carrying farm tools.

"William, would you like to go to the pub for a drink together."

While walking on the road, Locke saw a thin man greeting a middle-aged farmer.

"Sonny, are you going to cheat and drink again?" At this time, an old farmer said.

The skinny man was a well-known second-rate man in the village. He liked to eat and was lazy, and refused to work hard. He would help others with some odd jobs when he had no food to eat. He usually preferred to do some sneaky things, so he was not popular with the villagers.

"None of your business, you old bugger!" the thin man cursed loudly.

After hearing this, the old farmer showed a bitter look and did not refute. As a result, the thin man became more enthusiastic: "You old guy, the daughter my wife gave birth to is only as big as a thumb. It has been as big as a thumb for several years. It must not be enough." Pious, punished by the Lord of Holy Light!”

"The size of a thumb?" Locke was stunned for a moment, and Peggy also squinted her eyes slightly and looked at the old farmer, which reminded both of them of a fairy tale called Thumbelina.

"Thumbelina" tells the story of a couple who wanted to have a child, but somehow they found help from a witch, who gave them a magical grain of wheat and asked them to plant it in a flower pot.

When the flowers bloomed, a Thumbelina was born. However, this Thumbelina had a bad life and was stolen by a toad, which wanted Thumbelina to be its daughter-in-law.

Fortunately, some kind-hearted animals took pity on her, rescued her, and took care of her life. After some twists and turns, she came to a mysterious garden.

There were all kinds of people her size in the garden, and eventually she married a king of all flowers and lived happily together.

"It should be that fairy tale." Peggy said to Locke.

"Yeah, and I still remember some things the queen told me. Maybe there will be an unexpected harvest this time." Locke was talking about the magical creature the queen told him about - the flower fairy.

Flower fairies are born from flowers and have a natural affinity for magical elements. They have the same intelligence as humans and can learn magic.

After signing a contract with a magician, these flower fairies can quickly learn the knowledge possessed by the magician, can help the magician fight, and can also become handy experimental assistants.

In Locke's view, Thumbelina was probably a flower fairy. Even the garden she came to later was also a gathering place for flower fairies. If it could be found, it would definitely be a good thing to bring this flower fairy group back to the academy for placement. matter.

Compared to the flower fairy, the value of the giant that the queen mentioned before was not that important, so Locke gave Peggy a wink and followed the old farmer to the door of his house.

On the way, Locke told Peggy about the flower fairy, which made her eyes light up.

At this time, there were no other villagers around, so Peggy stopped him directly: "Wait a minute."

"Ah, well, hello, gentlemen, what's the matter?" The old farmer was called out. Looking at Locke and Peggy's clothes, he knew that they were of high status, so he quickly said respectfully.

"I want to ask you something." As he said that, a shiny silver object was thrown out of Locke's hand and just fell into the old farmer's hand.

Looking at the silver coins in his hand, the old farmer's face showed a smile, and then he heard Locke ask: "When did your daughter Thumbelina lose it?"

"It has been more than a year." Perhaps thinking of his daughter, the old farmer also felt a little disappointed and worried: "We have been looking for it for a long time and still haven't found it."

"This is a bit troublesome. If you want to follow the line to find the garden where the flower fairy is, you need to ask about the animals nearby. For example, the goldfish and weasels that appear in the story... are all common small animals. , it’s really hard to find.”

"Then do you know where the witch who gave you the seeds lives?" At this time, Peggy suddenly said.

When Peggy said this, Locke suddenly understood. According to the fairy tale, Thumbelina was probably also a flower fairy, and the seed that could grow Thumbelina might have come from the place where the flower fairy lived.

"What a witch? The two nobles must have made a mistake." The old farmer did not dare to admit the origin of Thumbelina. Otherwise, if people knew about it, he would definitely not be easy when someone from the Holy See came to visit him.

"We are not from the Holy See, and we are not interested in reporting you or anything. As long as you tell us how to find the witch, this will be yours." Locke said, taking out a gold coin and shaking it in front of his eyes.

For a farmer like him who lives in poverty, a silver coin is already a considerable amount of wealth, let alone a shining gold coin. In addition, the two of them were very sure that he knew about the witch, so the old farmer finally spoke.

A few hours later, Locke and Peggy arrived somewhere in the forest outside the village.

"There doesn't seem to be anything special here." Peggy looked at the surrounding trees: "Is this where the farmer saw the witch?"

"Sometimes, what the eyes see is just an illusion." As he spoke, Locke stretched out his hand, and the woods in front of him suddenly distorted for a while, and finally it seemed that the picture in front of him was broken, revealing a long and narrow forest path.

"It's hidden by the magic circle. Unfortunately, I don't know much about this. It seems that I need to know more about this in the future." Peggy looked at the path in front of her: "Let's go. "

"Don't worry, if you enter a witch's territory without the owner's permission, you will be attacked." Locke grabbed Peggy who was about to step forward. He could see that on the small road in front of him, but There are many magic mechanisms and traps.

"Who are you?" The two of them stood at the intersection and waited for a while. A middle-aged woman wearing a witch's robe and a hat appeared in front of them.

"I'm Locke, and this is Peggy." Locke introduced himself and showed off his magic power: "Because I heard some news from a nearby village, I came here specifically to visit."

"I rarely have contact with the villagers in the nearby villages..." At this point, the witch's originally alert look suddenly became more vigilant: "What are you here for?"

The witch knew that the last time she had contact with the villagers in the nearby village was to give the old farmer seeds that could grow Thumbelina. Thinking about it, it was easy to guess why the two found her here.
