After the Legend Chapter 46: Arriving at the Magic City
The boat entered the city along the narrow river, and the embankment was planted with trees and dense foliage, which looked a little gloomy at night. There are rows of houses not far from the shore, only some of them have oil lamps lit outside the houses, and the dim yellow lights are reflected, so that the boats on the water can barely see the surrounding environment.
Ming Na looked around from the bow of the boat, and felt that this magical capital was no different from an ordinary town, and even compared with the small town of Shaonan that passed by on the road, it lacked some of the characteristics of her own country. The streets of the houses don't look much different from those in Edunton and Meyton. The only thing that is special is that some houses are oddly shaped, which are even more out of the ordinary than that of the old magician Sennett.
One of them looks like a huge flower. The outer "petal"-shaped walls are layered on top of each other, but they are not completely closed, and there are lights at the "stamen" and "core", which should be It was a place to live, but it seemed too cramped. The other room looks like a giant bowl with green water constantly pouring out. After Xiao Tianjian explained it, Ming Na realized that those green water-like things were actually magical plants that would keep going around the room. Move, have the function of defense.
Are these the homes of magicians? So why do most houses look ordinary? Or is it uncommon inside? Minna was a little excited when she thought of this.
But after asking her grandfather, she realized that the place where the boat passes now can only be regarded as the "civilian area" of the magic capital, that is, the place where non-magical residents live together. Because the land and rent are cheap, many students of the Magic Academy will rent or buy houses here, and those eccentric houses are all their works. But in places where magicians live, there are absolutely no such houses, because they believe that when their ability and knowledge reach a certain level, they should not waste time and energy on such things. If there is a great magician who wants to make a different change to his residence, he will be discussed.
"Old Sen just went to Tule Mountain because he didn't like this rule." Xiao Tianjian said.
Minna gave an "oh" and asked again, "Are there any ordinary people here? I thought everyone here was a magician."
"Little fool, even a magician, you have to eat and drink." Xiao Tianjian laughed, "Magic can't be turned into food, so let the magicians go to grow vegetables, kill pigs, bake bread and milk cows? Here Not only are there a lot of ordinary people, but there are things that other towns have here, but here is safe, people live a stable life, and life is much more peaceful than other towns.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud noise on the right bank, which startled Minna, and then a room caught fire, and a person rushed out of the house screaming and rolled on the ground a few times. , put out the fire. A few neighbors opened their windows and glanced at them, then immediately closed the windows and retracted them. But the man got up, but as if nothing happened, he ignored the fire and just squatted by the river and muttered something. Ming Na only vaguely heard a few words, which seemed to be "the weight is too heavy...it should be reduced by two-thirds...".
She was dumbfounded. This is called a "peaceful day"? Turning to look at Grandpa, he just smiled and didn't speak. Seeing Ming Na pouted, he reached out and pointed in the direction of the fire. Ming Na looked back and saw that several people had already arrived in front of the house that was on fire. They were wearing the same style of sky blue robes, and after chanting a few spells, there was a downpour over the house, and the fire was extinguished in a blink of an eye. With a spell, the wet ground was instantly dry, and the house looked as if it had never been hit by a fire. One of the men approached the owner of the house and didn't know what to say before leaving with his companions in the sound of thanks from the other party.
Xiao Tianjian said with a smile: "The Fire Brigade of the City of Magic, with them here, I really don't need to worry about anything."
Minna blinked, recalling the incident she nearly set the kitchen on fire two years ago, and wondered why Chidon didn't have this? If there is, you don't have to be scolded by your mother like a dog.
The boat turned leisurely into another waterway. The river here is narrower, but the water is deep. There are more oil lamps on the shore, and the houses are denser, but most of them are small buildings of two or three stories. Every tens of meters, there is a bridge across the two banks. Minna passed under the bridge on a boat and felt very fresh.
Bondman, the boatman, asked Xiao Tianjian, "Lord Earl, where are you going?" Xiao Tianjian said, "Let's go up the mountain first. You can spend the night at my house, and find someone to clean it up tomorrow." Pass the key.
Minna asked curiously: "Grandpa also has a house here? Are we going to live there?"
"Forget it tonight, I'll talk about it later." Xiao Tianjian said, "I haven't come back for two or three years, the house is already covered with dust, and now I go back, I don't even have firewood to boil water. Let's find my friend. , he has a ready-made bed there."
The boat sailed quietly on the water and finally docked at a small pier at the foot of the mountain. Ming Na said goodbye to Baoderman, and watched him continue along the waterway in the boat, when he was suddenly picked up by grandfather: "Little Mingna, let's go." Mingna struggled: "I want to go by myself." But she was knocked on the head by her grandfather: "Be obedient! Didn't you say your legs are uncomfortable?" She pouted and stopped resisting.
The two climbed the steps, and soon came to a junction, and walked up the mountain along the road that spiraled around the edge of the mountain. Ming Na noticed that every 100 meters by the roadside, there was a staircase connecting the bottom and the top of the mountain vertically, and asked, "Grandpa, why don't we take the stairs? Wouldn't that be faster?"
Xiao Tianjian smiled: "That is indeed a short cut, but it is only passable during the day, and a spell will be cast as soon as it gets dark. Now, in the middle of the night, you can only take the main road."
Ming Na nodded and looked left and right at the lamps hanging outside the normal houses, and felt that they were not the oil lamps she saw just now: "Grandpa, those don't look like oil lamps, what are they?"
"It's a magic lamp. It uses low-grade spar as energy. It's very popular here. If you like it, go back and buy one for you."
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Ming Na happily thanked, but soon she couldn't help yawning, and then felt a little dizzy, shook her head, and suddenly found a golden brown streak in the air above her head. Ray: "Grandpa! Look! We have something on our heads! What is that?"
"That's the communication network of the magician's colony. It's similar to the phone I've spoken to, except that instead of cables, it uses the silk of the Coral Sea special sea spider, which can be used as long as it has magic power. The light is the signal. Xiao Tianjian was a little annoyed by his little granddaughter's question, "Okay, Mingna, it's late, don't disturb others. I'll tell you these things later."
Ming Na sticks out her tongue and clings to Grandpa's neck obediently, but her eyes are still constantly looking around, but she gradually feels that she has no strength, and her dizziness is getting worse, so she has to lie on Grandpa's shoulder to rest .
I don't know how long it took. When Ming Na woke up from a half-sleep, she and her grandfather were already standing in front of a three-story building with a maroon exterior halfway up the mountain. Xiao Tianjian knocked on the door twice and then opened the door himself and entered the house, but the inside was unexpectedly large. Ming Na looked at the entrance hall, which was twice as wide as her own hall, and the heights of several large rooms with half-closed doors and the carved stairs leading to the second floor that she could see from the outside. The size of the house I arrived at, I immediately understood that this must be a space spell.
Xiao Tianjian carried his granddaughter into the corridor behind the hall, came to a room, and opened the door. Sitting behind the desk in the room was a man with messy blond shawl hair. He looked about thirty years old, with blue eyes and single-sided glasses, and his face was a little pale.
He was looking at a piece of old and yellowing parchment seriously. After a while when he heard the door open, he looked up at a loss to see who it was. When he saw the person, he jumped up with an "ah" and pointed his finger. Xiao Tianjian: "You! You! You! When did you come back?! I don't have time to make things for you right now!"
"I'm not looking for you to do things. There's no need to overreact, Hanlin." Xiao Tianjian rolled his eyes and put down his granddaughter. As soon as Ming Na landed, she began to look around. She saw the things on the shelf next to her, and recognized that one of them was the kind of mosquito repellent box that her grandfather gave her.
"Then what are you doing here?!" The blond man, Hanlin, didn't notice Minna at all. He seemed to think of something terrible, and his face turned even greener, "Patty's not here!"
Xiao Tianjian was closing the door, and he almost fell when he heard this: "What does it have to do with me if your wife is here?!"
Hanlin looked at him suspiciously, causing him to hate him: "I've said it eight hundred times, I'm just good friends with Patty! I don't have any intentions with her! You say this If she hears this, do you know what the consequences will be?!"
Hanlin thought for a while, his face had turned from blue to white: "Oh my God, the God of Light is above..."
"Don't call your God of Light, I'll come to you with my child to stay for one night, will it be okay?"
"Of course no problem. I didn't let the students live in the night tonight. Go ahead and sleep in whichever bed you like." He seemed to have finally discovered Ming Na's existence and glanced at her curiously. " Is this your daughter? Who was it from? Brown hair and green eyes? Oh my God, could it be Patty's sister?!"
"Who would have a baby with that dinosaur?!" Xiao Tianjian was mad, "This is my granddaughter! Granddaughter! The only daughter of my second son!"
Hanlin's eyes widened: "Huh? So you even have a granddaughter? Isn't that an old man?" He rolled his eyes and laughed softly: "That's great, Patty won't watch it. For the old man."
Xiao Tianjian resisted the urge to go crazy again, and reluctantly slowed down his voice: "I was originally... an old man! My grandson has come to see you a few times, don't you remember? Well, don't say it. Nonsense, my granddaughter's health is not very good, haven't you studied potions? Come and help."
The other party glared at him: "What are you kidding?! I'm an alchemist! Not a potionist! Go to the potionist, find Sennett."
"Where did you tell me to find Lao Sen?!" Xiao Tianjian seemed to roll his eyes a lot tonight, "You are the latest one, and don't you know how to cook potions? Last time I saw you give Make your own cold medicine."
"That's not the same! Who can't make a few potions from a few colleges? But if you want me to see a doctor, I can't do it! You granddaughter..." Hanlin pointed to what Ming Na was about to say, look When she felt sleepy bit by bit, she suddenly stopped and muttered: "Oh, this is not very good..." He quickly sat back in his seat, pulled a piece of paper and hurriedly wrote two lines of words, He got up and walked to the window, raised his hand, and called out "Severs Sauron", a golden-brown light flashed in the air, and the note in his hand was gone.
Ming Na's eyes widened to see what was going on, but her mind became more and more dazed, and she couldn't stand anymore. She heard Hanlin tell Grandpa to carry her to the room, and then felt herself being moved to a comfortable bed, and as soon as her head touched the pillow, she lost consciousness.
In a daze, she felt as if she was still sleeping on the boat, her body swaying gently with the hull and the water waves, when she suddenly heard the sound of drums beating outside, it turned out that the clown was performing. After he finished throwing and catching the ball, he jumped into the water. She was lying on the bow of the boat and looked under the water worriedly. She never saw him come out, but the surroundings suddenly became pitch black. She felt that something was wrong. She hid in the cabin, and in the blink of an eye, the cabin was gone, but a strong wind blew violently in the sky, and the wind mixed with sand and dirt hit her. She clung to her head and had nowhere to hide. As soon as she saw a cave beside her. , then desperately ran into the hole. Running into the cave, the wind and sand couldn't get in, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Who would have guessed that a giant roar came out of the cave, and a monster in the snow came out, with a white light on its mouth. She couldn't hide, she was shot in the stomach, and the inside of the abdomen suddenly became cold, then suddenly became hot, and then cramped. After a while, not only did the pain in her stomach persist, but other parts of her body also ached. She rolled on the ground, and her whole body was in a cold sweat.
At this moment, a warm current descended on her head, from head to toe, extending to her whole body. She didn't feel so bad. She wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly smelled a very bad smell. , the whole person suddenly woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw an old man with a dark brown goatee staring at him with wide eyes~IndoMTL.com~ while pouring himself into a dark gray-green bubbling slimy potion. That's where the smell comes from. She felt sick in her heart and didn't want to drink the potion, but she had no strength at all and couldn't lift her hands, so she could only be forced to drink up the cup of medicine. The terrible touch in her mouth made her feel so wronged that she was about to cry. .
"Is the child awake? How is it?" Xiao Tianjian's voice came from beside him. Ming Na turned her eyes and saw that he was looking at her with concern, her face was a little haggard, but the person she asked was the goatee.
"It's stabilized for the time being, and then I'll have to drink medicine to recuperate." Goatee said, "You are too messy, magic chaos is a very troublesome disease, you just take her back to your own place. , why did you bring it here? Don't you know that there are magicians and magic items everywhere? Fortunately, the treatment was timely, otherwise this child may not be able to use magic again in this life."
Xiao Tianjian scratched his head, a little ashamed: "I don't know much about this... Then I'll take her back to my place now? It's a civilian area, and there aren't any magic apprentices there, so there won't be any... magic. fluctuating."
Goatee glared at him: "No need! Let her stay here. She has stabilized. Once she moves, what if she gets confused again? Don't move until she is completely healed!"
Xiao Tianjian smiled embarrassingly, and turned to comfort his granddaughter who was rolling his eyes: "It's all right, now you're ill and can't move, you can play everywhere in a few days."
She just wanted to rinse her mouth! But not only can she not move, she can't even speak, isn't it strange? What she could have said before? What the **** is wrong with her?
(I'm back...there are so many people, and it's raining...)
