Chapter 155: A Passerby in a Western Fantasy Adventure 4
After rummaging through the weathered rocks for a long time, the groove at the center of the magic array finally appeared before the three of them.
Abner aligned the black stone in his hand with the groove. With a crisp "click" sound, a dark green light lit up and quickly spread out from the center of the formation, forming mysterious and beautiful patterns on the sand.
"Ivis, take Cathy away. I'm going to activate the magic circle." A gust of hot wind came from nowhere and blew Abner's white beard to the side. Seeing the two children walking away, his lips moved slightly, and an obscure spell flowed out.
Cathy, who was blocked behind, poked her head out from behind Ivis's thin shoulder. The light on the magic circle became brighter and brighter, and the strong green light blinded her eyes. She could only vaguely see the light on the spider web-like pattern getting smaller and darker, and finally disappearing.
Ivis felt someone tugging at his sleeve. He looked down and saw the little girl's eyes wide open with tears in her eyes. Her emerald green pupils reminded him of the clear and tranquil lake beside his childhood village.
Cathy blinked away the tears that were irritated in her eyes: "Ivis, did the magic circle activate successfully?"
"Of course." Hearing his grandfather's greeting, Ivis took Cathy over there, secretly sighing in his heart that women are fragile.
As soon as she stepped into the magic circle, Cathy felt a chill all over her body. Unlike the high temperature of over 40 degrees outside, although the temperature inside the circle was still a bit high, the sand under her feet was no longer hot, and the temperature became lower the closer to the center of the magic circle.
"Teacher Abner." She raised her eyes brightly. This treatment was much better than the desert survival she had imagined in her mind.
There were black gravels scattered on the dry sand, and Abner had a headache. What happened here thirty years ago? The performance report submitted by Leno was vague, only saying that monsters attacked the branch and they had no choice but to withdraw.
"Kathy, please put the magic safe house next to the center of the formation. We will live in the small house for now. We will rebuild the branch after we have a clear understanding of the surrounding situation. Ivis, don't be idle either. Clean up the nearby rubble and help Kathy clean up the house. I will go and find out if there is any water source nearby."
Abner looked at the setting sun, holding a staff made of a spruce tree with a dark green wooden stone inlaid on the top, and his figure gradually disappeared into the darkening night.
The temperature in the desolate land dropped very quickly at night, and the chilly night wind made Ivis feel much more comfortable. Unfortunately, there was almost no water element in the air in this area. He frowned as he tried to mobilize the somewhat depleted ice element in his body.
Cathy took out her staff and cast a spell to turn the magic house back to normal size. She glanced at the young man standing aside, then she stepped over the steps skillfully and opened the dark stone door.
I don’t know where the owner of this custom-made house is going. Although the house is not big, its security and stability are quite excellent.
This is the color combination...
The dark house in front of me almost blends into the night, and it is difficult to notice its existence without careful observation.
"Please clean up the teacher's room." Cathy took out some food from her space belt and neatly placed the vegetables and meat on the chopping board in the small kitchen. "It's so dark now, the teacher should be back soon, I need to prepare dinner first."
Ivis was silent for a moment. As a magician, he didn't care what to eat. It was common for him to stay up for days to study a spell or a potion. When he was tired, he would meditate instead of sleep, and when he was hungry, he would drink a bottle of potion to fill his stomach.
Therefore, when he saw Cathy making a fire and cooking for the first time on the road, he was very disdainful in his heart. The girl was indeed spoiled. As a magician, one must be able to endure loneliness and suppress one's own distracting thoughts, including the desire to eat. How can one become a great magician if he thinks about eating and drinking every day?
Regarding being defeated by Vicki, Ivis admitted that he was indeed inferior in skills, but he always insisted that the magician's elemental affinity was given by the God of Elements, and they should improve this ability through day-to-day meditation, rather than relying on the help of some external objects to achieve a huge leap in rank like Vicki.
Weiqi: What's wrong with me taking some pills to cultivate my spiritual power?
However, as Ivis sat by the campfire and drank the bland potion, the smell of fireworks from the safe house lingered in his nose through the open window.
Ives: ...
What on earth is going on inside? Why does it smell so good?
I have also been to some famous restaurants in the imperial capital. Although the dishes there look brightly colored, exquisitely presented, and rich in elemental power, they taste only slightly better than potions.
Thinking of the cold words he had just said, he was too embarrassed to ask to go into the house to eat. Sitting by the campfire in the cold wind, Ivis slowly finished a whole bottle of potion.
However, if grandpa asked him to go in for dinner, he would not be unwilling to do so.
As he thought about this, his hands moved slower and slower, and he would occasionally glance at the door behind him out of the corner of his eye.
Unfortunately, until the noise inside died down, Ivis never heard anyone calling him.
He clenched the crystal bottle in his hand, his black pupils dilated slightly, realizing that he might, perhaps, have fallen out of favor with his grandfather?
Abner, who was coaxed happily in the house, said: It turns out that the sweet and soft girl is more considerate, as for the naughty boy outside in the cold wind.
Wow, the fruit wine Cathy prepared is really good. The old man is already a little drunk.
"Ivis, don't stand there like an idiot. The teacher's room hasn't been cleaned up yet." Turning her head and glancing at the motionless statue at the door, Cathy felt helpless. This was really a rich young master. His daily life was taken care of by his followers, and he had nothing to do at all.
Cut a few pieces of incense from the magic flowerpot on the window and sprinkle them on the magic lamb legs that are about to be cooked. The unique fragrance of the incense can better remove the fishy smell from the magic lamb meat, and the emerald green leaves also add some color to the plate.
Ivis passed by the kitchen and saw this scene with a slight twitch of his mouth. If the noble ladies in the capital saw that the magic flowerpots that usually grew silver flowers, rainbow flowers and colorful roses were used to grow food, they would definitely laugh at him and use all means to isolate the girl.
You have to care a lot about food to come up with such an idea.
What a... well, I don't know how to describe this girl.
On the other hand, Abner, who had been searching for a week, naturally returned empty-handed. Feeling worried, he saw the light of the hut from a distance in the lonely sand. His heart was warmed, as the two children were still waiting for him to return.
Abner waved his staff to deal with a sand lizard that attacked him. He wanted to leave directly, but he stopped and dragged the monster that was half the height of Cassie on the journey home.
If you can't find any water, it would be nice to bring some food back.
Thinking of Cathy's craftsmanship, he couldn't help but saliva welled up in his mouth and silently quickened his pace.
Well, I am mainly worried about the safety of my two children, not about coveting the delicious food at home.
But what will Cathy do today?
