The boat was moving along the rapids, and from time to time it was sucked into the whirlpool. Leng Huhu saw a rock emerge from the sea, which made Minna break out in a cold sweat.
She held the wooden oar in hand and worked hard. As soon as she saw an obstacle, she used her boat to avoid it. As for the whirlpool, she left it entirely to Alex, who used water magic or wind magic to go down. , the boat can be taken away from its original track.
In this way, the boat sailed out of the whirlpool area in a very thrilling way and entered relatively calm waters. Minna breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the sea water naturally carried the boat forward without the need to paddle, she simply threw away the oar, stretched out, and lay back.
Alex protested: "Hey, hey, you pressed my leg."
"What's the big deal about using a cushion? Anyway, I used to sleep on your back." Ming Na waved her hands nonchalantly and closed her eyes to rest.
Alex resisted the urge to roll his eyes: "How was it the same back then? You were a boy before!"
Ming Na frowned and turned to look at him: "That's just a disguise. I'm always a girl. No matter how my appearance changes, I'm still me. What's the difference?"
"It's different for me!" Alex held his breath, "I haven't settled the score with you yet! You are obviously a girl, why did you hide it from me for so long? If I hadn't gone with you After entering the Elf Forest, do you plan to never tell me for the rest of your life?!"
"Of course not." Ming Na quickly denied, "I like to turn into a boy when I go out on missions, because boys have better physical strength, greater strength, and easier movement. And I will become bolder when I am a boy. Oh. I didn’t mean to hide it from you. In fact, even in the Security Agency, not many people know that Mint is Ming Na. I let you know because I trust you."
But Alex was still a little uncomfortable, he thought. Maybe it's because I have always trusted the other person, but I have been deceived for so long, and I feel like I have been fooled? He asked in a deep voice: "Then Earl Xiao is indeed your grandfather? Are you his granddaughter, not his grandson? Who is your father?"
"My father is also in the Security Bureau. I'll introduce him to you when we get to Mayton." Mingna leaned over and said, "Are you angry?"
"No!" Alex tilted his head. Seeing that she seemed to want to continue asking. Busy pointing forward. "Look! There's a reef!"
Ming Na quickly turned around and sat up. Then I realized it was just a big fish. Rolling on the sea. Bring up splashes of water. All she cared about was watching the fish. I forgot about the original topic.
The water flow gradually accelerated. But the sea was still very calm. The two people on the boat were also happy and relaxed. Let the boat follow the flow of water and approach the mainland.
Minna stretched again. Place the wooden paddle on the side. Look up at the sky. Alex saw her tendency to lie back again. He flexed his legs. So as not to be crushed by her again. But she found that she just leaned back slightly and looked at the starry sky. Didn't lie down again. I felt a little disappointed again. Minna tried hard to identify the constellations in the sky. Judgment occurs at the location of the ship. After a while, he said happily: "Great! This direction is correct! It only takes one more day. We can dock!"
Alex responded calmly: "Hmm." He seemed to have no energy. Mingna looked back at him doubtfully: "What's wrong with you? Are you tired?"
"I'm fine."
Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Mingna had no choice but to turn around and look at the sea. After thinking for a while, he asked: "Alex, do you think... when we go back, will the war be won?"
"Of course, we have already obtained the fountain of life." Still in that listless tone.
"But..." Mingna suddenly felt a little uncertain, "Why do I always have a bad premonition? Do you think that spring water can really restore the magic power of the Scepter of Light?"
"It has been proven that it is possible. If not, the Central Holy See still has many magic weapons handed down from ancient times. As long as they can restore their divine power. What do those magical beasts count?"
"Really?!" Ming Na's eyes lit up. He frowned again, "But we only have one bottle of spring water. How can it be enough?"
Alex chuckled a few times: "Idiot!" He touched his wristband and took out a bulging leather water bag: "Do you know what this is?"
Ming Na was a little puzzled. But when he saw the water mark on the cork of the water bag, his eyes suddenly opened wide: "Fountain of Life?! When did you take so much?!"
"Just when I was filling the spring water. You were all paying attention to my hands, but you didn't see that there is a water bag under my robe. It only takes a little water magic to do it. It's not a light type, and the queen can't find it. Even if you notice it, you will think that I am using magic to put spring water into the bottle." Alex smiled and stuffed the water bag into the wristband again, "The amount in it is not just what you see, it is enough. Let seven or eight magic weapons regain their power."
Ming Na was startled, but she still felt a little uncomfortable: "Isn't this bad? We obviously have the permission of the Elf Queen, why are we still so sneaky?"
Alex sneered: "It's just that the spring water happens to be located in the territory of the elves. Who says it must belong to them? They want to use the spring water to expand their power, and that's okay, but monopolizing it is too much! And they behave well. It’s like a great gift from heaven. If it weren’t for us, they wouldn’t know that this spring exists!”
Ming Na lowered her head and said nothing. It took her a long time to say, "I still think it's not good to do this..."
"What's wrong? We humans need these spring water more than they do, but the elves only plan to use it to drink so as to increase their ability to grow flowers and grass. Rather than being wasted by them, it is better for us to destroy the monsters!" Alex Kes didn't have a good impression of elves, "It's not convenient for me to say anything there, so I don't have any worries now. Those elves all have eyes on the top of their heads. In fact, apart from longevity, what else are they superior to us humans? Half-elves are obviously them." You are a relative, but you always suffer injustice! That child named Xiaola, is your uncle? I don’t know how old he is, but it seems that he is a child who needs his mother’s care! They first left him alone in the forest He was on the edge, and then forced him to separate from his mother, and the elf mother actually agreed. I really can't understand what the creatures of this race are thinking?! Even animals will not treat their offspring so coldly!"
Ming Na was startled, but she somewhat agreed with him: "That's right. Xiaola is really pitiful. He has always been lonely. If it weren't for the fact that the Elf Forest was too difficult to enter, I would have wanted to visit him more. When grandpa took me there, he really wanted to see Xiaola, but the elves refused to let them recognize each other no matter what..." She still remembers that when she and her grandfather left the forest, Xiaola climbed on the tree and watched them from a distance. situation.
After thinking about it, she sighed: "Why do elves always hate humans? Although I heard that humans have done bad things to them before, not everyone is like this. My grandfather helped them a lot. Even though they were busy, they still didn’t give me a good look. Grandpa couldn’t stand it either. Just after we left, they blamed Grandpa instead…”
Alex vaguely guessed something and raised his eyebrows, thinking that the epic hero seemed to have many unknown things. However, he was not interested in poaching people, he just said: "Anyway, the race of elves is far from the kind and beautiful elves in ancient mythology. I don't know if it is because of their long years of isolation from the world. They only have The evil nature of arrogance. The so-called hatred between humans and elves. I don’t know that the humans who have harmed them have been dead for hundreds of thousands of years. But they will only treat humans as a whole and firmly remember their hatred. In fact, how many people on the mainland know about their existence now? Even children who love fantasy regard them as a race in myths and legends. This time they have further blocked themselves, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the elves will completely disappear. It’s in the mainland.”
Ming Na nodded in understanding. Then he said: "My grandfather said that people who are not of my race must have different minds. This means that if different races live together, there will definitely be conflicts. Is the same true for elves and humans?"
"Did Earl Xiao say that?" Alex smiled, "He is indeed an epic hero." This sentence made him slightly change his view of the legendary figure. It seems that the other party is not a reckless man who does not understand politics at all: "Not only are conflicts prone to occur between races, but also between countries. Just like people from different classes living together, there will always be conflicts due to various differences. Everyone Individuals will think that what they believe is correct, and they will have abnormal ideas about people who do something different from their own. Over time, conflicts will easily arise."
"Country and country..." Ming Na was thoughtful, and she remembered everything about Nojia. At that time, she could not understand Jada's intention to invade other countries, but Jada firmly believed that what she did was the right thing. It's also because they come from different countries. So "their minds must be different"
She glanced at Alex, wondering whether she should ask him. Alex seems to understand this very well. But if you tell him. Will he answer as patiently as Mallory did
Alex noticed her hesitation: "What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just say it."
Ming Na thought about it for a while, but she told him what happened, and also told him what happened during the peace talks between the two countries, and asked: "You said, I don't like the ideas of those nobles, is it because I am different from them? A person of the same class?"
"You idiot!" Alex yelled, "Do you think there will be any real friends in politics? Even if the two countries form an alliance, it will only be to fight against the monsters. When the monsters disappear, if Noga has a chance , will never give up the invasion of East! So, in essence, it is still an enemy, do you understand?!"
Ming Na shrank her neck: "Oh..."
That said, she somewhat understood. Because I regard the Noga people as friends, I don’t want to deceive them, but if they are still enemies, then there is no need to think so much...
In Ming Na's mind, the treatment of "enemies" and "friends" are completely different.
Alex felt a little discouraged when he saw her like this: "A kid like you who doesn't understand politics should stop doing this."
Ming Na was unconvinced: "I'm not a child anymore!"
"But your thoughts are as naive as a child's!" Alex glared at her, "Unless you stay far away from politics, you'd better understand it a little bit. As for whether you should imitate others. Do it, that's your freedom. Those nobles are not good people anyway, just don't be stupid."
Ming Na pouted, then smiled suddenly, moved closer to Alex, and blinked: "Then you teach me?"
Alex glanced at her and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you okay? Little girl-"
Ming Na sat back angrily, turned around and made a face: "If you don't teach me, I won't teach you! Who cares?" After saying that, she lay down on her back, pressed Alex's legs heavily, and even bumped her legs. A few times.
"Hey! It hurts!" Alex protested, but there was a smile on his lips.
In fact, it is also a happy thing not to understand those dirty things.
At dusk the next day, they could already see the land ahead, and they felt excited. Ming Na had long forgotten all the unpleasantness of last night, and happily turned back to Alex and said: "Look, we are about to dock!"
Alex nodded with a smile and reminded her: "Don't forget the coral reefs on the seaside. This is a reflux bay."
"Ah!" Mingna suddenly remembered, looking back at the faint red water in front of her, feeling a little worried, "Why don't we swim across? The boat will definitely hit it. Alex raised his eyebrows: "You Want to swim in a place like this? "
After hearing this, Ming Na looked at the deep sea water, shuddered, and hesitated: "What should we do?"
Alex recited a spell and said: "Remember clearly, this is a water magic. When the ship hits the coral reef, you and I will recite this spell together, and we can land safely." Ming Na was dubious. , remembering the spell firmly, and took out the wand again.
Seeing that the current was getting faster and faster, the boat rushed straight to the shore. After a while, the bottom of the boat suddenly shook, and a crack opened, and the cold seawater poured in.
Alex shouted: "Now!" Mingna quickly chanted a spell to the water, and saw a row of big waves rising from the sea, lifting the boat high into the sky. Ming Na screamed and felt herself rolling several times in the air, with water on her face. The corner of Alex's robe swayed in front of her eyes, and the beach on the shore suddenly appeared in front of her. She quickly adjusted After landing on the ground, he did a few somersaults before stabilizing his body.
Looking back, she saw Alex standing calmly on the beach, using a few cleaning magics on herself, and she couldn't help shouting: "Is this what you call a safe landing?!"
"Do you feel unsafe?" Alex smiled at her and looked around, "This is really East. Let's quickly find a place to get information. I don't know what the current war situation is like."
(Completed. So sleepy...)
