Episode 96: The Invisible Wall(1/2)
.
Aaron had a lot of effort to walk through the woods before he recovered his body, and his extra huge wings made him very uncomfortable.
"I can fly now. Do you want me to take you with me?" Aaron actually didn't want to always shave his wings.
Haier objected: "Our new friends are still waiting in the woods. You have been wasting enough time."
Aaron had to lower his head. "I'm in trouble. I'm so fed up today."
Katerina asked them what happened in the treasure house. Aaron only said that she couldn't stand the pain when she grew wings. Haier also cooperated and said that that's it.
Although Katerina felt they were a little suspicious, she still believed that Haier would not lie to herself. "If you can't die in the future, don't scream so much. I'm worried about Haier."
"Catrina, you are so nice to me~!" Haier hugged her neck hard, making her feel a little angry.
"As long as I can live for a hundred years, it doesn't matter if no one hurts me." Aaron said to himself.
Haier chuckled at him. "If you are a little more funny in the future, someone will feel hurt~!"
Aaron: “…”
The three of them finally arrived at the gathering place of the hairballs. The little boy with long hair was dazed there, and there was obviously a black barrier around him. Haier went up and said hello: "We're here~! Are you okay?"
Aaron looked at the circle he drew on the ground, and the boy sat in it wrapped in a cloak. "It seems that he hasn't been out. It's so amazing. Wouldn't he feel hungry?"
"Stop talking nonsense, give him the clothes first. You two are really the same kind, haha." Haier smiled secretly.
Aaron was afraid that Haier would tell her things and honestly did it. The little boy knew that they would not harm him, so he removed the barrier. "Ah~!"
It was useless for Aaron to give the kid the prepared clothes and pants, and he had to help him put them on. The two girls ran aside to chat. Katerina asked in a low voice: "Did you hide something from me?"
"Yes. But I have promised Aaron that I can't tell you, don't blame me." Haier was worried that Katerina would be unhappy.
"Oh. Then I won't ask." Katerina seemed really unhappy.
"Okay. As long as you don't let others know, I will tell you. Who makes us the best friends? I can't make you angry at me, although this may be known by Aaron..." Haier was also afraid that Aaron would get angry because she was not trustworthy, but she was always more angry at herself than Katerina now.
Aaron dressed the boy on the other side, but the other didn't cooperate at all. After a long time of hard work, he finally let the wild boy put on his pants. "You are so good. If the medicine on my body is effective, I will definitely not be able to hold you back." The wings behind Aaron were already covered with soil, and the angel became a wild duck.
The wild boy saw that Aaron was wearing pants too, so he didn't take it down any more. However, Aaron was not wearing any clothes, so he was determined not to wear clothes.
"Forget it, just do it. It doesn't matter if a man is naked anyway. But when will you learn to speak? It's too hard to communicate with you." Aaron grabbed his head and muttered to himself.
The wild boy also learned from him and scratched his head. Seeing that he was studying, Aaron patted his chest with his hand. "I am Aaron Phil. Just call me Aaron. Aaron."
"Ah...lu..." The wild boy's pronunciation was not very accurate.
"Very good. Just call it almost the same. Anyway, I knew you were calling me when I heard it. So what's your name?" Aaron wanted to know the boy's name and pointed at him.
"Wuka..." The wild boy seemed to be really talking about his name, but the pronunciation was a bit difficult to tell.
"Uka? Is this your name?" Aaron was also guessing.
"Ah~!" The wild boy also patted his chest and said that it was himself.
Aaron really admired her how she could communicate with the savage. "Haier! Come here!" She wanted to tell her this exciting news.
Haier pulled Caterina and walked around from not far away. "What's wrong? Have you dressed up? Why are you still shirtless?"
"There's nothing. I'm also naked, he barely put on his pants." Aaron said helplessly.
Katerina sarcastically said, "It's not that you deliberately wanted to teach him that way? He might learn bad things from you."
Aaron didn't care much about Katerina's attitude towards her, and looked back at Uka. "Am I as bad as she said? Uka, say justice."
"Ah~!" Uka just grinned and smiled.
Haier felt strange. "His name is Uka? How did you know?"
"Of course I asked. He can basically understand our simple sign language, but he can't speak our language. It seems that he can't speak his own language, which is really strange." Aaron couldn't understand how Uka grew up and why the Maoqiu gathered around him.
Haier leaned close to Wuka and asked, "Do you still remember my name? I said it yesterday."
"Ha~!" Uka obviously remembered that she had introduced herself, but what he said was different.
Although it sounds not very good, Haier is still very happy. "I am Haier, not haha. Haha. But it's alone to you."
Katerina did not look at Uka more, but stared at Aaron secretly. She had learned from Haier what was happening in the treasure house, so she had great prejudice against Aaron. Standing naked in front of Haier, she thought this was simply an insult to Haier. She had to find an opportunity to seek justice for her good sister.
Uka was not pronounced correctly, but he called Aaron and Haier's names. When Haier asked him to call Katerina's name, things had unexpected results. Uka might be afraid of the magic Katerina used to use on him or other reasons, but did not cooperate at all, but hid behind Aaron's wings and was unwilling to get close to Katerina.
Haier didn't understand what was going on. "Catrina, have you persecuted him? Why is he so afraid of you?"
"I don't know." Katerina really couldn't know.
Uka was talking behind Aaron, and Aaron was also embarrassed. "What are you saying? Do you have any opinions on Katerina?"
Katerina thought she had done nothing wrong. "Speak clearly. Otherwise, don't go on the road."
Haier felt that Katerina was really a little upset now. "Okay. Uka must have a reason to do this. It would be great if she could understand what he said. By the way, do she have potential pills?"
"Yes. Aunt Yisu asked for another bottle. Do you want Uka to eat?" Haier didn't think this was a good idea.
"It's better than having no way. Eating it may make him smarter, or he may be able to speak." Aaron completely relied on imagination out of thin air.
Haier looked at Wuka's small body and only gave Aaron half a piece of it. "I wonder if it will be better after eating it."
"It will definitely work." Aaron was very confident in the medicine.
Wuka did not cooperate with the medicine, so Aaron had to sacrifice himself again. He threw the other half of the medicine into his mouth, indicating that it was something to eat. Wuka then barely took the pill.
The effect of this medicine was indeed too fast. It took less than ten seconds for Uka to put the medicine in his mouth when his body began to change. The muscles on his body began to swell and were very shiny. The messy long hair made him look more like a savage.
Haier muttered to herself. "He seems to have grown up..."
"Ah ~!" Wu Ka still couldn't speak. In fact, she didn't grow up, but became stronger.
Aaron looked at the stronger little Uka and said, "This pill should improve your intelligence. Can you understand what we say now?"
Uka blinked twice, then nodded. Although he still couldn't speak, he did understand what Aaron said.
Haier quickly explained to him that Katerina is harmless, but Uka did not buy it. Aaron looked at Katerina carefully from Uka's perspective. "It's really okay. You do have an unfriendly aura on your face."
Of course, Katerina's unfriendly aura was all aimed at Aaron. Unexpectedly, Uka was the first to feel this. Haier understood what Katerina was thinking, so she advised: "Don't be angry. We are all good friends, why bother thinking about other things."
"Anyway, I'm just angry." Katerina couldn't say that she was angry with Aaron.
Aaron didn't understand that these two people were talking about him, and thought they were really talking about Uka. "What's wrong? Uka did not harm your Colro people, but instead brought a lot of cute pets. Why are you biased against him?"
Katerina made the mistake just by mistake and got angry. "Anyway, I'm very unhappy!"
"You have a bad personality. Haier is more popular." Aaron's impression of Katerina began to become worse.
"My trip~! What a bad start~!" Haier complained, hoping that the two of them could save themselves.
Aaron first said, "I won't know anything like her."
"So, I." Katerina was even more unwilling to admit defeat.
Seeing that they were having conflicts, Uka shouted twice at the forest. Many hairy balls ran out, as if they were about to fight again.
Haier hurriedly stopped him. "Okay. You two quarreled over a little bit of a small matter. How can this be considered a friend? In front of our new friend Wuka, don't act like a bad person. He may only look at our expressions to analyze the situation, and he does not really understand our words."
Aaron felt that she was right. "Wuka might really not understand what we were saying. She could only rely on our behavior to judge what was happening in front of her. Katerina, please stop losing your temper."
"Of course there is no problem..." Katerina suffered a loss. In fact, the target of her temper was Aaron, not Uka. Only Haier knew what was going on here.
Seeing that the expression on Katerina's face was eased, Uka dismissed the fur balls around him. He was still stumbled at Aaronbi, as if he wanted Aaron not to get too close to Katerina. Who knows?
Seeing the incident over, Haier said to Uka: "Let's go on a trip now? Go to a distant place to find interesting stories and interesting people. Haha." Her expression was full of yearning and sunshine.
"Ah~!" Uka really understood that Haier was going to take him away, and she laughed.
Finally, Haier took her friends to start a new journey in life, as she said, looking for interesting stories and interesting people. But before that, she planned to look for the past stories and people of the past. The first goal was to find Burundi, the closest one. Haier wanted to know what happened between her father and the brothers of Burundi in the past, and it turned out to be hostile in the end.
The four of them trekked hard in the trap forest. Although Haier and Katerina were both Kroo people, they had basically never left the royal city. The one who walked in front of them was actually Uka. He relied entirely on the wool balls to pave the way and was not afraid of the trap at all.
Wu Ka walked in front and hummed a tune, which gave Haier a new idea. "Wu Ka can hum a song, which means he has heard it. Maybe he can find some clues from this song."
After listening to it, Aaron said, "It's really okay. I seem to have heard the rhythm of this song, but I just can't remember it for a moment. Maybe it was my mom who hummed it or Aunt Kees."
"Then maybe Uka is related to the monster tribe." Katerina made such a judgment.
Wuka didn't even look back and was still walking in front. Haier pointed to his back and said, "Can Wuka be the summoner of the wool balls, so that he can control them?"
"It should be almost the same." Katerina agreed with Haier's speculation and even wanted to ask Uka to summon a few wool balls on the spot.
Aaron's view was exactly the opposite of the two of them. "He took the pills and did not show the summoning pattern. Theoretically, it should not be the one from the Monster Tribe. My mother said that people in the Monster Tribe have a fusion summoning array. It was painted with magic dyes from birth. Unless he died, it would not be easily erased in his life."
"Yes. He can also use barrier magic at will. This is not something a child can rely on his talent." Katerina's point of view turned to Aaron again.
Haier thought for a while. "If you use the power of a certain kind of monster, you can easily use special magic, right? By the way, maybe it was a gift from Maoqiu to him."
"The barrier magic of the hairball? If that little thing can be used by himself, he will have protected himself from being eaten." Aaron said and rubbed his hungry belly.
Wuka seemed to be unable to hear what they were saying behind her, humming a tune while walking forward. On this night, there was not much difference from the nights of the first few days, and the bright moon was still hanging in the sky. It had not rained for many days. Haier sat by the bonfire, her mouth was dry, and she wanted to drink some water in big mouthfuls. It was not very satisfying to rely on eating fruits and licking dew every day.
"Catrina, don't you know magic? Concentrate some water for me to drink. I won't treat you badly~!" Haier went to ask Catarina for help.
"That kind of water has magical effects, and it may not be good for your health if you drink it." Katerina rejected her benefits.
"It doesn't matter if you drink it once or twice. Change it a little, hurry up!" Haier was soaking and drinking water.
Katerina couldn't stand her torture, so she had to use magic to create some water and put it in a water bag. "It would be better to drink it again two days later."
