Chapter 152 A passerby in a fantasy adventure story 1
"Cathy, Lord Abner is going to be exiled to the wilderness. Have you thought about it?" Lucy tugged at the hem of her skirt embroidered with pure white lace, her tone full of worry.
Chen Qian, who had just entered this world, widened her eyes in confusion, watching the girl with brown curly hair in front of her walking around the room anxiously, almost bumping into the cabinet beside the bed.
"Kathy." Tears welled up in Lucy's eyes. "I heard that the climate in the extreme wilderness is harsh, and there are many ferocious monsters. If you want to take us there..."
Chen Qian, who hadn't figured out the situation yet, blinked her green eyes, with an innocent look on her face, and remained silent.
After a long time without any response, Lucy bit her lip, stomped her feet, lifted her skirt and walked out the door. She wanted to find her sister who worked in the temple to discuss countermeasures.
Soon Chen Qian was the only one left in the room. She sat on the bed and sorted out the memories in her mind. This was a world full of magical elements. In addition to the basic elements such as gold, water, fire, earth, wind, wood, light, and darkness, there were also rare elements such as electricity, ice, poison, fantasy, time, and space.
The original owner, Cathy, was an ordinary wood magician apprentice who learned wood magic from the senior magician Lord Abner.
Abner was one of the few senior magicians of common origin in the magic tower. Perhaps that was why he chose the original owner, who had mediocre talent but also common origin, as his apprentice, so the original owner was able to enter this prestigious magic tower to study.
"The original owner's wish is to follow Abner to the extreme wasteland." 003 unfolded the gold finger page in the air, "Host, this is a high-magic plane. Some existences may detect the system. Please choose the gold finger as soon as possible. This plane 003 will enter a dormant state and will no longer provide assistance to the host."
Chen Qian looked up into the sky in shock, and a fluorescent light screen appeared before her.
[Eye of Elements: The wearer can condense elements at ten times the speed, increasing the meditation speed, 2 points.]
If a three-year-old child goes to the market with gold in his arms, this thing may bring him death.
[Mirror of Truth: Can answer one question from the owner every day. Once bound, it cannot be untied. 2 points.]
Can it be tied up? Chen Qian was somewhat tempted. The original owner was too weak, and even a little bit of good stuff might not be able to protect him.
[Angel Blood: After drinking it, it can purify the light element in the drinker's body. There is a 1% chance that it will activate the light blood in the body. 3 points.]
Her eyes lit up. This was a good thing. Unfortunately, the original owner's magical perception was mainly wood element, mixed with a small amount of water element, and there was not a trace of light element.
After thinking for a moment, she spent two points to buy the [Mirror of Truth] and immediately bound it. A bright white light flashed, and soon a red mole appeared on the palm of her hand.
Chen Qian stroked the red mole in her palm and asked in her heart, "Mirror, mirror, please tell me, what do I need to prepare before going to the desolate land?"
"Magic fantasy house, magic potions, drinking water, various food and herb seeds, and magic flower pots."
Chen Qian was stunned, and dug out the information about these items from the depths of the original owner's memory. Then she was secretly happy. Time was running out, so she had to pack her luggage quickly and prepare these items.
Ideals are full, but reality is cruel. After counting the original owner's belongings, she touched her empty pockets with an embarrassed look on her face. A good cook cannot cook without rice. All the property that the original owner had saved was used to buy magic potions, and there were only 2 gold coins left in her pocket.
But the lowest price for a magic house in the world starts at 100 gold coins, not to mention buying magic flower pots and potion seeds.
Now she had no choice but to ask Abner for financial assistance. After all, the little money she had was not enough to buy supplies for two people.
After a stroll around the market, Chen Qian bought some vegetable and grain seeds, as well as some easy-to-store food based on her feelings, and hurried back to the Mage Tower before curfew.
After asking around with familiar apprentices, Chen Qian walked up the winding corridor of the Mage Tower. It was still dark at this time, and the cold moonlight shone through the narrow stone windows on the high walls, casting mottled shadows in the corridor. As she went higher and higher in the corridor, her breathing became heavier.
Finally reaching the top floor of the Mage Tower, Chen Qian's legs were trembling and her face was pale.
"Lord Abner!" She panted, and there seemed to be a flash of fire in her green eyes. "Why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time!"
Without giving the person in front of her a chance to speak, she continued to type: "In three days we will set off for the desolate land. Have you packed your belongings? Water, clothes, books, magic potions, and various utensils for making potions, and,"
She took a breath and said, "Can you give me a space belt and some money? I found out I had no place to put my luggage when I was packing. Besides, I have already spent all my apprenticeship salary. Now I have no money to prepare things for the trip to the extreme wasteland."
Having said this, she seemed a little embarrassed and lowered her head and smiled.
Abner, who was looking at the moon with a nostalgic look, stroked his well-maintained beard, with a confused look on his face: "Kathy, you want to go to the desolate land with me?"
"Of course, I am your apprentice, don't even think about getting rid of me."
"But the journey to the wilderness is long and very dangerous. I am not sure if I can arrive there safely. Even if I really reach the wilderness, the temperature there is hot, the environment is harsh, and there are ferocious monsters..." Looking at the tears in the girl in front of him, Abner's voice gradually weakened.
"If you want to stay in the Mage Tower, I can introduce you to other mages." He added at the end.
"But, but I don't want to leave you." The girl's golden curly hair was particularly dazzling in the hazy moonlight. "I want to be your apprentice for life."
The original owner, who was persuaded to retreat in the previous life and died when the Mage Tower collapsed, had the deepest regret of not following Lord Abner to the desolate land.
The old man in front of him probably had no idea how much waves that casual finger had stirred in the heart of the little girl who was wearing patched clothes and didn't fit in with the surroundings. That kind of warmth has since entered her bones and flowed in her blood, and she can't forget it even if she wants to.
As warm as grandpa.
The ethereal sound of bells rang out from a church not far away, echoing throughout the capital. It was time for the priests to pray in the evening. A group of griffons were patrolling the night sky. Sky knights in armor sat astride the griffons, vigilantly patrolling the airspace to prevent any night attacks by the enemy.
In the interweaving of moonlight and lamplight, Cathy's green eyes sparkled with stubbornness.
Abner sighed, took out a space belt and a bag of gold coins from his space ring and handed them to the little girl.
