Chapter 241 - Innate Luck

Chapter 241 – Innate Luck

It looked like a 15 year old girl with shoulder long golden hair and a pale face. If its size was not so small, it would have been a beautiful girl.

Flower spirit? Fairy?

Wei Xiao Bei thought of two different names.

Flower spirits were from Chinese legends. When flowers and trees cultivated they would become flower spirits. There were good ones and bad ones. According to legend, they lived in flowers.

As for the fairies, Wei Xiao Bei was referring to the creatures from Western legends.

He guessed that the creature in front of him was closer to a fairy.

However, he became secretly fearful of it. It was such a small thing hidden in the bushes. If it did not stare at him and even with his high perception, he would not have noticed it.

As for the description of the fairy, Wei Xiao Bei obtained it from an Icelandic Saga “Edda.”

Naturally, what he saw was not the original work, but a translated work from the web.

The Edda was one of the most important medieval classics passed down in Europe. It was one among the few European legends, aside from Greek and Roman ones.

In current times, fairies were creatures found in games and novels to the point of being worn out.

In European legends, fairies were roughly classified as being kindhearted. The majority of them lived alone, and they were all friendly but were more partial towards children.

They were also mischievous and pulled pranks at times. They would remove the oil from milk, preventing tired housewives from making butter. They would substitute poor households from polishing grains and then hide as they watched the victims’ stunned expressions. They would add water to well-fermented wine, destroying the taste. They would also make people walking at night get lost and snicker at them.

Additionally, they were also necessary supporting roles as they were able to use magic.

Only people who were courteous towards them would gain their help. Anyone who was evil to them would find their lives miserable.

From Wei Xiao Bei’s point of view, they were beings that he could not offend.

Thus, he suppressed the thought of using [Status Appraisal] on it. He smiled, stretched out his hand and opened it, showing the a handful of red cowberry.

It was clear that Wei Xiao Bei was trying to show goodwill. The fairy did not took notice of it and slightly retreated back into the shrub.

“Come. Eat cowberries.”

Wei Xiao Bei roughly understood that these kind of fairies had a stable food of cowberries. They also loved other berries.

He remembered the stories in European legends, that the majority of heroes obtained the help of fairies by giving them cowberries.

However, the next thing that happened was out of his expectations.

He saw that the fairy glowed with a dim red light. In the next instant, Wei Xiao Bei felt something wrong in the sky. He raised his head and saw an unknown bird pass by. Afterwards, a small black dot was quickly moving towards him.

Since Wei Xiao Bei noticed it, hitting him with it would be difficult.

With a dodge, the black dot landed on the grass in front of him. It was a black bird poop!

Fuck! This was without a doubt the masterpiece of the fairy!

Since this had happened, Wei Xiao Bei understood that the fairy did not reciprocate his kindness. Instead, it did not have a good impression of him when he extended his hand to give it the berries.

At this moment, he noticed that not increasing his charm attribute was probably a mistake.

Naturally, this small mistake was easy for him to rectify.

Wei Xiao Bei once again slowly approached the shrub.

Against his approach, the fairy was slightly worried and quivered in a machine gun like voice with a language that Wei Xiao Bei did not understand.

In truth, its voice was so small that normal people would probably only be able to hear it if they stuck their ears out close to it. If Wei Xiao Bei did not have outstanding hearing, he simply would not be able to hear anything at the 20 meter distance.

When Wei Xiao Bei approached the 10 meter mark, the voice of the fairy got larger, and it was clearly holding itself high. From its face and hand gesture, it was clear that it did not like Wei Xiao Bei’s approach and was probably warning him.

When the fairy’s body glowed red again, Wei Xiao Bei threw a [Status Appraisal] at it.

Afterwards, Wei Xiao Bei felt that he tripped on a rock and would have fallen down if his balance was not high enough.

......

Fuck!

After seeing the fairy’s status, Wei Xiao Bei inwardly cursed.

What kind of status is this?

This Small Fairy was a 2-Star Elite Creature, but from Wei Xiao Bei’s perception, its true battle strength only relied on the [Innate Magic Tricks]. It should only be a 1-Star Elite Creature at most, stronger than normal humans.

However, its specials skills were too good.

The [Innate Magic Tricks] was probably just used for pranks like the bird poop that fell down or the stone that he tripped on.

However, the [Innate Luck] and [Innate Eye of Truth] were both quite strong.

The description of [Innate Luck] was very explicit.

Anyone who harmed them will be cursed, and anyone who befriended them will be blessed.

Moreover, Wei Xiao Bei was able to guess that he should be in the Dust World of Northern Europe.

It was no wonder why it was so cold.

On the other hand, the giant tree that towered over the sky should be the World Tree in Nordic legends.

In the legends, the giant tree was said to support the world. From its roots to the top, it was divided into three different layers with three different worlds in each layer.

Asgard was the land where the leader of the Aesirs, Odin, lived along with his subordinate gods.

Vanaheim was the land where the Vanirs and the sea god, Njord, lived.

Alfheim was the land where the country of elves was located. According to legend,s elves possessed strong magic and great beauty, but they were not fairies.

These three were located at the top of the world tree.

Below that layer was where Middle-Earth, the land where humans lived, existed.

Jotunheim was the land of giants.

Svartalfheim was the land of dwarves.

These three were located in the middle layer of the world tree.

Below that layer were the tree roots. It is where Hel, the land of the dead, was located. Only souls could enter that place.

Niflheim was the land of mist. It is where Nidhogg, the dragon/serpent that could destroy the world, lived. It was said that it gnawed on the roots of the world tree, and once the roots snapped off, the Twilight of the Gods, Ragnarok, would begin, and the world would end.

Muspelheim was the land of fire. It is where the kingdom of Surtr, a flaming giant, was located. It was said that when Ragnarok begins, Surtr will launch an attack on the leader of the gods, Odin.

......

Other than its [Innate Luck], the [Innate Eye of Truth] was also strong.

Wei Xiao Bei knew that there were a lot of monsters with strange abilities in the Dust World.

The Thousand Eyed Devil that he encountered in Lake Cui was one of these strong monsters that could control illusions.

However, if that kind of monster encounters the Small Fairy, it would be its bad luck.

But now, the one who encountered bad luck was him.

The fairy that had been hit by Wei Xiao Bei’s [Status Appraisal] went red in the face. From its appearance of gashing its teeth, it probably hated Wei Xiao Bei to death.

No one would like to be hit by a [Status Appraisal], nor would they like to have their very souls be exposed to others.

Wei Xiao Bei looked at his status and became happy that he had not yet been afflicted with a curse. When he thought about it, [Status Appraisal] did not inflict any injuries.

However, he did not want to give up on the fairy. Just her [Innate Eyes of Truth] was very useful.

Catch first, discuss later!

Wei Xiao Bei became unreasonable and charged towards the fairy. At the same time, he gently shouted, “Intimidate!” while locking his gaze on the fairy.

When he shouted, a powerful might spread out from his body, enveloping towards the fairy.

The fairy blanked, but in the next moment, it turned around and tried to fly away with all its might.

However, the speed at which [Law Intimidation] spread out was so fast that it had already enveloped the fairy inside.

In an instant, the fairy stiffened while showing a terrified expression. In the next instant, it stopped flapping its wings and began to fall down.

At this moment, Wei Xiao Bei threw himself in front of the shrub, extended his hand, and caught it.

He also tried to lighten his grip, afraid that he might accidentally crush it. Luckily, even if his muscle attribute increased, he had the [Improved Body Movement] ability, allowing him to control his power.

There was no movement in his hand, causing him to worry that he had injured the fairy. When he opened his hand, the fairy was currently lying on its stomach in the middle of his palm. Its entire body trembled as it saw Wei Xiao Bei’s eyes staring at it. It quietly said, “Maka, kapa, siji.”
