After the Legend Chapter 61: On the rocky beach


There was still no response in the darkness. Ming Na took a few deep breaths and said loudly, "Come out soon, if I don't come out, I will attack with magic!" This is half scaring and half courage. Her magic power is mediocre. The magic used to attack can only last for four or five moves.

But this sentence obviously had an effect. There were clear footsteps in the dark aisle, and then a familiar face appeared in the light: "Miss Minna? Are you in there?"

"Corbyn?" Seeing an acquaintance, Minna breathed a sigh of relief, but she was immediately puzzled again, "Why are you here? Aren't you on a boat?"

Corbin had already entered the stone room where the crystal mirror was located: "I saw that you haven't come back, and I was a little worried, so I came to take a look. Huh? Where's the nobleman?"

Ming Na was about to tell the truth when she suddenly remembered her grandfather's instructions, and changed her words: "He...he went on an adventure, not here..." But thinking that grandpa was already in another world, she didn't know what happened. What happened, she couldn't help but red eyes, and tears poured out again. Looking at the crystal mirror, it was still black and there was no response.

Is Grandpa really coming back? She couldn't help but panic.

"Has the nobleman left? What should we do then?" Corbyn asked, and took out another hand towel to wipe Minna's tears. Seeing that the hand towel was stained, he took it back into his arms embarrassedly. .

"We... Let's go back to Uncle Jutten's house first..." Ming Na looked at the mirror a few more times, but she still wanted to stay and wait for Grandpa's message, "Wait a while before leaving, I... I want to stay a little longer..."

"Little Miss, it's almost evening now. If we don't go down the mountain, it will be dark and the road is not easy to walk. If we wait until dawn tomorrow, we will not be able to catch up with the low tide at dawn." Corbin urged in a low voice, "If you're tired, go down the mountain and rest again. It's not hard to go down the mountain. Staying here...isn't it scary? This place is full of dead bones... Some people say that it will be haunted at night, and there are ghost fires."

"Haunted?" Ming Na's eyes lit up, could it be... but she quickly overturned this idea in her heart. Grandpa once said that the so-called ghost fire is actually caused by an ingredient in the bones of the dead burning in the air, and those strange sounds are actually the sound of the wind blowing into the rock hole, and this phenomenon also occurs in the desert. Grandpa said it long ago, this is all superstitious sayings of others.

So, should she wait any longer? Ming Na looked at the mirror again, hesitantly refusing to move.

"Little Miss, let's go." Corbyn seemed a little anxious, looked left and right, and urged, "The nobleman is not here, what's the use of you staying? Didn't he tell you to go back first? He is sure Do you have a plan of your own?"

These words reminded Ming Na that grandpa doesn't know when he will come back. When he comes back, he can go down the mountain and cross the sea on his own, even if he doesn't wait for him, it doesn't matter. He has traveled alone on the mainland for many years, and nothing can stop him, and he has been here before... Thinking of this, Ming Na is a little more settled. Although she is still very reluctant, she still moves Feet go out.

She brought up the magic lamp by the door, but saw Corbyn staring thoughtfully in the direction of the mirror, and she felt nervous: "Corbyn, let's go!" He won't find out the secret of the mirror Bar?

Corbyn responded, turned his head and smiled: "You go first, I'll follow, you won't be afraid." Then he looked around the ground to make sure nothing fell.

Minna thought about it too, so she went out first. Having someone by her side was different from being alone. Ming Na felt that even though the aisle was darker than before, and the magic lamp in her hand was not as bright as before, the fear in her heart was greatly reduced. When I entered the coffin's stone room, I was no longer afraid.

But Corbyn seemed to be dawdling in the stone room before coming out. Mingna asked him why he was delayed for so long. He just said that he thought the mirror was beautiful, so he looked at it a few more times. Minna was worried that he would find the mirror connected to another world, so she hurriedly pulled him out of the cave.

Outside the cave, the sun is setting. Ming Na looked at the rocks and bushes in the twilight, and suddenly felt like she was in another world. Grandpa was no longer around. She didn't know if she would be able to come back, or when he would come back. From now on, she will be the only one left. ?

As soon as Corbin urged in a low voice, she woke up abruptly and quickly turned off the magic lamp. She was about to put it into her bracelet habitually, when she remembered that her bracelet had been taken away by grandfather. Blood must be shed, and spells must be chanted. How could she easily do this in front of Corbyn? I had no choice but to hold the lamp and move down the mountain step by step.

It is indeed much easier to go down the mountain than to go up the mountain, she just needs to follow the path that her grandfather cleared when she went up the mountain, and slide as she walks. Corbyn's movements are also very flexible, and he even walked faster than Minna along the way. It only took two or three hours for the two of them to reach the foot of the mountain.

At this time, it was already dark, and with the dim moonlight, Ming Na could vaguely see that the sea was rising. Looking around, there is no trace of the passage at all.

Ming Na feels a little hungry, and it is inconvenient to get food, so she should go back to the boat as soon as possible. After thinking about it, she said to Corbin: "Corbin, the way back to this island is only exposed when the tide is low, but when the tide is high, it's there too? Then... the water on that road is shallower than other places. Huh? We waded back, it should be okay, right?"

Corbyn shook his head and said, "No, the sea surface at high tide is nearly two meters higher than at low tide, and it is night, so I can't see the direction, and I don't know where the whirlpool is. It's too dangerous to walk back. An adult like me can go, you, a child, will definitely be submerged, let's wait for tomorrow."

Minna was a little discouraged, rubbed her stomach, looked at the ring on her finger, and considered whether to borrow a knife from Corbyn to cut her hand (she has no weapon). At this time, Corbin said, "Are you hungry? I didn't bring any food, but there should be food nearby, but there is no fresh water."

Minna turned her head to look at him in surprise: "Can I find something to eat? Fresh water is no problem, I can conjure it with magic!" This is what she is most familiar with.

Corbyn was a little surprised: "That's great, come with me." He turned and walked to the east of the Holy Mountain, and Minna followed closely.

Not long after, they came to a rocky beach. Under the illumination of the magic lamp, they could see a natural small bay near the sea, surrounded by four or five square meters of shallow sea water, and the gravel stretched out. Entering the water, a few small shrimp and small fish were swept in by the waves, but were blocked in the bay by the circle of gravel.

Ming Na let out a cry, put down the magic lamp and jumped up, caught a few small fish, and put them in the hem of her clothes, but she didn't know what to do. Corbin brought two stones over, scrubbed the surface of the stones with sea water a few times, and said, "Change some fresh water out and put it in here." Only then did Mingna realize that the surface of the two stones was slightly slightly Sag, immediately understood Corbyn's intention, hurriedly did as he said, and put the caught small fish into the water.

"But, what to cook?" Minna asked. Although Grandpa mentioned that there were people in his world who used stones to make pots, but she never tried it?

Corbyn got some hay and dry sticks from the side of the hill again. In autumn and winter, there are quite a lot of dead branches and hay on the mountain, and those far from the sea are not damp, which is a good material for ignition. However, when Corbyn took out the flint from his body, he was worried-his flint was wet, and it didn't know when it got wet, so it couldn't catch fire at all.

Ming Na looked at the flint, then at the hay, clenched her fists and said, "I'm coming!" Although she can't cast fireballs, it's not a problem to get some small sparks. The hay is very dry, and a little spark can burn .

The same is true. Seeing the burning pile of dead branches, Minna couldn't help cheering and assisted Corbyn in carefully moving the fire to the edge of the stone "pot". Corbyn touched a few more under the rocks by the sea, fished out a few scallops, pried open the shells, added water, and put them on the fire to cook.

The aroma gradually drifted away. The water in the stone "pot" quickly dried up, but the small fish and shrimp were also cooked, and the salt left by the evaporation of the seawater remaining on the surface of the stone was not unpalatable, and the scallop meat was even more delicious.

Minna eats and eats, and can't help but think of the days she traveled with her grandfather. At that time, they used to look for ingredients and tools in the wild like this. Grandpa would cook all kinds of food with methods she had never seen before, so that she was full every time, and she could hardly walk.

But now, the person who cooks for her by her side is not her grandfather, and her grandfather has long since abandoned her and all her relatives in this world and returned to his original world.

Thinking of this, she felt that it was hard to swallow, and she swallowed it reluctantly, but burst into tears.

Corbyn looked up and saw it, and quickly asked, "What's the matter? Is the food bad?" He was a little sad. For their family, this kind of meal was already a rare delicacy, whether it was fish, shrimp or scallops. Once they get it, they sell it directly, and they only eat seaweed, wild vegetables and thick batter. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find other food, he wouldn't be so extravagant. Unfortunately, the young lady of the noble family is still not used to it.

Ming Na didn't know he had misunderstood her, but just shook her head randomly, wiped away her tears, and continued to eat the meat.

Filled up, Corbyn went to bed early next to a big rock on the rocky beach, and advised Minna to go to bed earlier to recharge. Ming Na lay down on the gravel, and couldn't sleep well. Looking up at the stars in the sky, she recalled the past time with her grandfather, and it took some time before she closed her eyes in a daze.

Before dawn, she was woken up by the cold sea breeze, curled up like a shrimp, and moved to the big rock where Corbin was sleeping, trying to find a place to block the wind. Indistinctly, she saw that Corbyn seemed to be holding something in his hand, tossing and turning, not looking very good, and asked, "Corbyn, what are you holding?"

Corbyn hadn't noticed that she was awake before, and was taken aback by her words: "No, nothing..." But Minna had already seen what was in his hand, it was a gray stone in the shape of a rhombus Yes, it seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

So she asked, "What are you doing with the stone?" Corbyn's face darkened: "It's nothing, just pick it up and look at it." After that, she looked at the stone and threw it away, her face faint Somewhat unwilling.

Minna was a little disturbed: "Corbyn?"

"It's nothing, it's really nothing." Corbyn wiped his face indiscriminately and stood up, "It's almost time, let's go back."

When they returned to the sea passage, the low tide had begun for a while, and the passage was plainly presented to them. Minna looked back at the top of the holy mountain again, and then left the island at the urging of Corbin.

The sun rose, and they returned to the ship. The two crew members who were waiting on the ship were surprised to see that only the two of them had returned, and kept asking where the master was.

Ming Na held the magic lamp in both hands, bowed her head and said, "Grandpa set off on an adventure, and told me to go back to Uncle Yotan's house with you."

The faces of the two crew members were not very good, and Ruhl was fine, and the other returned to the wheelhouse with a dark face, and did not say hello to Corbyn. Ruhl coughed lightly and forced a smile: "Tired? Let's go back to the cabin to rest first, we're going back." While speaking, he winked at Corbin, who nodded slightly.

Ming Na didn't notice the interaction between them, so she went back to her room on her own, lay in bed in a daze, and cried again. It was not until the afternoon that she went to the crew room to find something to eat.

As soon as she entered, she saw Corbyn and the unknown crew member sitting staring at each other, as if they had just finished arguing. "What happened?" she asked in confusion.

"It's okay!" Corbyn replied quickly, glanced at the companion, and smiled at Minna, "Are you hungry? I'll get you some bread." After that, he got up and went to the next storage room . The crew member also smiled at Ming Na and left the activity room. Minna wondered, is it really okay?

The next morning, they returned to the docks in Cameron City. After getting the news, Yotan rushed over, and when he saw Ming Na, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Why are you so bold as a child?! You actually chased your grandfather?! What if you encounter danger in the sea? If you can't climb up What about the boat?! You child is really..." He pointed at Ming Na for a while and was speechless, before sighing for a long time: "Forget it, you are Xiao's granddaughter, of course better than ordinary children, so do I. It's not good to blame you, but you should stop doing such dangerous things in the future, if something happens, your grandfather will blame me for not being optimistic about you."

Ming Na's eyes turned red when she heard this, she lowered her head and said obediently, "I won't dare anymore, I'm sorry." After a while, she said again: "Grandpa is angry with me, he is now going somewhere else He didn't want to take me on an adventure... He said he told me to come back to you..." She thought about this several times on the way, but she still blushed a little when she said it.

Yutan was stunned, and smiled bitterly: "Your grandfather still has this temper. If you want to do anything, you have to do it immediately. In fact, he can send you home first... Forget it, since he entrusted you with it. Give it to me, and I can't betray his trust. You stay at my house for a few days, and I will arrange a boat to take you home."

Minna bowed to him: "Thank you Uncle Yotan~IndoMTL.com~ Yotan waved his hand carelessly, and let her go with him, at the same time instructing his subordinates to pay the crew members as their **** for Ming As a reward for Na's return, he also specially instructed each person to add an extra silver coin.

When I got back to Yotham's house, Sibilla had been waiting for a long time: "Dad, you clearly said you wanted to take me out to play, why did it take so long to come back?" Yotham hurriedly stepped forward to coax her daughter. I bought her a bird made of colorful shells, and then Sibilla was coaxed. Minna felt bored and yawned.

Yutan immediately noticed: "Is Minna sleepy? Let's go back to the room to rest first. Haven't you eaten breakfast yet? I'll have someone deliver it."

Ming Na nodded and said goodbye to his father and daughter, then turned and walked to her temporary room.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and the first mate who I had seen a few days ago broke into the hall and shouted at Yotan anxiously: "Boss! Our ship at sea was caught People, ships and cargo were detained!"

Yutan was startled and quickly asked, "What's going on? How could someone be detained?!"

The first mate handed out a letter: "Everyone on our ship was driven to the small boat and finally returned to Matt Harbor. This is the letter they brought back, saying that it was written by those who arrested the boat to yours."

Yutan grabbed the letter and opened it, his face turned white and blue, blue and black, and his hands trembled slightly: "It's too much... Too much! Why do they do this?! "

Sibila asked repeatedly: "What's wrong? What happened? Dad? Dad?!"

But Yotten put away the letter and instructed the housekeeper: "Send the young lady back to the room and let the nanny serve you." But his eyes drifted to Ming Na's direction for some reason.

(I'm going back to the 4K party!!!)
