The warm sunshine shone on the deck, making Ming Na feel warm, and she didn't feel hot at all. She leaned against the railing of the bow, stretched out, and couldn't help but yawned: "It's so comfortable...I haven't been so leisurely for a long time..." Recalling the chaotic scenes of the past few days, it was like a dream.
Because Princess Sarah blocked the door before setting off, she and Alex had to postpone their trip. After hearing the news, several people arrived, but she finally got out.
Alex next to him felt the same way: "Indeed..." He was almost caught by his angry father. Thanks to the Rose Garden, it has a place called Tunnel!
Ming Na put up the arbor and looked into the distance: "It seems that the weather will be good these days. Look how calm the sea is. We are in good times."
Alex smiled and nodded: "This is my first time traveling on the sea. I finally understand what you mean by 'eyes full of blue and can't see the edge'." Looking back, he suddenly found that Ming Na Ruo had As he was thinking, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I remembered that when I didn't know what the sea looked like, I once talked about it with Ludlow. Xiaola once said that he wanted to see the sea, but he couldn't even see the sea next to the Elf Forest..." Ming Na looked a little sad, "The Elf Forest is closed again. I will probably never see him again, right?"
Alex silently leaned on the railing beside Minna and whispered: "Actually...if you really want to go to the Elf Forest, it's not impossible."
Ming Na's eyes widened: "What can you do?!"
"It's impossible to go from the mountainous area in the north. The misty wasteland is blocked by humans and elves respectively. The God's Blade Grand Canyon is not accessible to humans, so..." Alex paused, "We can only go by the sea. "
Ming Na was discouraged when she heard this: "Do you think I don't know? But the sea water in the backflow bay is countercurrent, and we can't go into the water at all!"
"What if we don't walk out of the water?"
"What?"
"Walk on the water." Alex smiled. "A magician I know is currently studying at Shaonan No. 1 Magic Academy. His tutor is a wind magician. He is currently studying a method that allows people to fly in the sky for a long time. I believe you also know. Magic from ancient times Magicians can fly long distances. But this magic has been lost. Now earth magicians can only restore an incomplete version of earth levitation based on ancient documents. It allows people to stay briefly in mid-air. When my friend wrote to me . Talking about his teacher, he once heard your grandfather Earl Xiao mention that humans can fly into the sky with the help of physical power. There is a... huge earth body. The heated air is poured into it. A big basket is tied under the ball. It can be carried Flying into the sky...did you hear your grandfather mention this?"
Ming Na carefully recalled what her grandfather had mentioned: "You mean... hot air balloon? That won't work. Grandpa said. Now there is no material that can guarantee airtightness, light weight, and can be used to make balloons. Even the strongest and lightest material can be used. It can also be made of ground canvas. It will also be dangerous because it cannot be controlled. He has tried it before, but it has failed." He paused. One more thing to add. "It was a canvas used for research at that time. Later he used it as a parachute."
Alex was very confident: "Earl Xiao will fail. It doesn't mean we can't succeed. Don't forget. We are magicians. And we are quite good at wind magic." He blinked his right eye.
Ming Na was startled. Immediately he was overjoyed: "You mean...use magic to control the direction of the hot air balloon?!"
"If you are flying at a low altitude, things will be much easier. Remember? In the sea area from East to the Elf Forest, although the current is turbulent and there are many whirlpools, the wind direction is still normal, and there is no thick fog. We still have it at night. You can see the stars clearly and you won’t get lost.”
The more Ming Na thought about it, the more she felt that this plan was very feasible, and she hurriedly grabbed Alex's arm: "This is a good idea! When can we try it?"
Alex smiled: "Why are you in such a hurry? My friend's teacher will always have to research the results. Didn't you just say that it's hard to find the materials for making those hot air balloons? When we get to the Magic City, we'll go there first How about visiting them and asking them about their progress?”
"Okay!" Ming Na hugged his arm, "Thanks to you, Alex, I never thought that I could fly this way. Now I can really see Xiao La again. , maybe we can persuade him to come out and play for a while!" The more she thought about it, the more excited she became: "When I used to jump from the mountain, I was not as good as my grandpa. I could only tie a rope to my body, then jump down with a parachute on my back, and follow the The mountain breeze reaches its destination. At that time, I thought, how great would it be if I could fly freely in the air and go wherever I want? Looking down from the sky, Tulei Mountain must be beautiful!"
"Yeah..." Alex was a little absent-minded. He tried his best to maintain a "normal" expression on his face, but he still couldn't help but blush. Mingna's body was close to his, and the soft feeling under the thin cotton dress was so clear. The girl's fragrance was so close, he felt as if there was a heat rushing to his forehead...
Ming Na was unaware of her friend's strange behavior: "It would be nice if my Qing Kung Fu was better. Although I can't fly, it feels good to float in the air. It's a pity that my grandfather only taught me the most basic things."
Why hasn't he come back yet? "
"Ah...right..."
"I think there is something wrong. When grandpa left home before, he would always send letters back from time to time. This time, there has been no news for several years. It really doesn't seem like his style."
"Oh...really..." Alex quietly stretched out his right hand and put it on the railing, as if he was half-hugging Mingna.
There are only the two of them on the deck, and there are no other ships around. Will Mingna be angry...
"That's right!" Mingna looked up suddenly, but felt a pain in the back of her head, as if she had hit something hard. Then she saw Alex bending down and squatting on the deck, seemingly in great pain. She hurriedly asked: "Did I bump into you? Are you okay?"
"It's okay..." Alex replied vaguely. He took out his wand and chanted a healing spell on his chin. The pain quickly disappeared, but the numbness of being hit hard did not go away.
Well, they have plenty of time anyway...
Alex stood up uncomfortably: "What idea did you just think of?"
"Oh, that's it." Ming Na said, "We are going to Kamega anyway, how about we take a short turn and go to the Holy Mountain? I want to find clues about grandpa."
"Earl Xiao?" Alex was a little confused. "I think you mentioned that he went on an adventure? What does this have to do with the holy mountain of Kamega?"
Ming Na blinked and remembered that she had not told the truth to her friend. She laughed twice and looked at him with pleading eyes: "Let's go? Okay? It only takes one day."
How could Alex resist such a look? He had no choice but to nod. Mingna happily hugged his arm again: "Alex, you are so good!" Alex once again fell into the gap between pain and pleasure, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Hey! Mingna! Boy!" A male voice shouted from the stern of the boat, and a familiar face appeared, "Fresh cockroach, I just caught it, do you want to eat it? This is the supreme delicacy!"
Minna smiled and shouted back: "Thank you, Frido, Alex doesn't like to eat raw."
"What a waste!" Frido held one in his mouth
Holding a beautiful woman in his arms, he glanced at Alex outside the cabin and said, "Wouldn't it be hard for this kid tonight if he doesn't eat?" The beauty chuckled and murmured a few words. Frido laughed and hugged her affectionately. She entered the cabin.
Alex turned to look at Ming Na expressionlessly: "Is he really your friend?"
Ming Na kept laughing: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, he has been suppressed for too long, so he should be more indulgent. You can't eat raw eggs~, I can ask the cook to make egg soup for you, how about it? Come with me ! Come on!" At the same time, he dragged Alex towards the cabin.
==~====================I am the dividing line two days later======================
Although he had promised Ming Na a long time ago that he would accompany her to the Holy Mountain Island, Alex was still in a daze when they actually stepped on the rocky beach. Looking back at the turbulent sea, which was gradually recovering, and then at the desolate land ahead, he was a little speechless: "Are you sure this is here? Earl Xiao is here?" On such a small island, is there anything worth risking for many years
Ming Na lowered her head and confessed: "I'm sorry, Alex, actually I didn't tell the truth before." She hesitated for a moment, then told the details of where her grandfather left that year, and then said: "I was young and sad at that time. So I didn't pay attention. Later, I slowly thought about it, and I always felt that something was wrong. The night before we left Ito, Feld came to the Rose Garden, do you remember? At that time, Corbin quietly found me and begged my forgiveness in tears. , he said a lot of things..."
"Corbin is the Bath man who betrayed you, right? I remember you told Frido that you asked him to find two Bath slave girls and send them to Ito. Are they his sisters?" Alex said I thought about Ming Na's words twice, and I understood a little bit.
Ming Na nodded: "Although I hate him very much, his family is quite innocent. I don't want to let them go free, but at least they can be reunited. Thanks to Corbin's confession, I know the biggest reason why grandpa has never been able to come back. What!"
The diamond-shaped stone that Corbin threw away at that time was the crystal stone used as a switch in the tomb, right? The switch is gone, how can grandpa open that channel
She stepped on the gravel to the place where she spent the night in her memory: "I remember he left that stone here! Although I don't know if it will work, I have to give it a try!"
Alex smiled faintly: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's start looking!"
The two of them worked together to find the stone in less than an hour on the rocky beach. The former crystal has long been turned into an ordinary stone, lying quietly in Ming Na's palm, making people wonder whether it can still exert its original effect.
Alex took the stone and looked at it carefully, pondered for a moment, and said: "I seem to have read some ancient documents, which mentioned this kind of crystal... Let's go to the tomb first, and you will lead the way!"
Ming Na nodded, turned and left. They were young and strong, and had countless mountain climbing experiences, so they climbed to their destination easily. By this time, it was already afternoon.
They came to the cave, ate dry food, lit the magic lamp, and walked into the cave entrance.
The ancient caves and tomb passages still look like they were seen last time, but the dust seems to be a little thicker. Alex recognized some of the words on the tapestry and guessed the owners of the coffins. But Ming Na was not in the mood to care about this and walked straight to the tomb at the end.
The smooth crystal door was quietly embedded in the wall, just like what Ming Na had seen last time. She suddenly became nervous and her breathing became rapid. When the hand holding the stone reached where the switch was originally, she began to tremble slightly involuntarily.
Alex walked gently behind her and took the stone: "I'll do it." He put the stone back into the groove and found something didn't fit. After turning it half a circle, he heard a "click" and closed it. .
The stone suddenly emitted a silver light, and in a blink of an eye it became transparent, as if it had turned into shining crystal again, emitting a dazzling light in the dark tomb chamber.
Ming Na held her breath and looked at the mirror: "Grandpa...Grandpa! Can you hear it? Grandpa!" She threw herself on the mirror, and Alex hurriedly pulled her back to prevent her from getting hurt.
However, to their disappointment, there was no change in the mirror surface, and the light of the rhombus crystal gradually dimmed after a while. Ming Na slowly slid to the ground, extremely frustrated: "It still doesn't work?"
Alex couldn't bear it and said, "Maybe there are other conditions? Didn't you say that your grandfather cut his hand and smeared blood on it?"
Ming Na quickly took out a dagger, cut her finger and smeared blood on the mirror, but the crystal mirror still didn't respond. She thought there wasn't enough blood and was about to cut a bigger wound when Alex stopped her: "Don't cut! Maybe not everyone's blood will do!"
Ming Na put down the dagger in a daze, and flattened her mouth: "I originally thought..."
Alex sighed and comforted her with a smile: "It doesn't matter, we can wait here for a while, anyway, we are not afraid of dead people."
Ming Na sniffed, hugged him and cried: "Alex, you are so kind..."
Alex patted her back gently, and the two of them stayed in the tomb chamber. I don't know how long it took. Two magic lamps had been replaced, and the crystal mirror remained motionless. Ming Na finally recognized the reality: "It seems... Grandpa really can't come back... Let's go..."
She lowered her head and took Alex's hand, and walked out sadly. Just as she was about to squeeze out of the stone door, a dazzling white light suddenly lit up behind her. She turned around suddenly, and saw that the entire crystal mirror was shrouded in Under the silver light, the entire tomb was clearly illuminated.
In the silver light, a figure appeared on the mirror. Ming Na's heart trembled, and she held her breath: "Grandpa?" After a pause, she changed to Chinese: "Is it Grandpa?" Alex secretly grasped the wand tightly, and held Ming Na tightly with his other hand. Let her pounce.
The silver light gradually dissipated, and a figure appeared in front of the mirror, wearing a white shirt, black pants, black gauze tied on the sleeves, short black hair, and bright black eyes. It was Xiao Tianjian who had been missing for many years. He seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and his face was a little haggard.
He was a little startled: "Ming Na?"
"Grandpa!" Mingna's eyes turned red and she threw herself into his arms, "I finally see you! I miss you so much..."
Xiao Tianjian's eyes turned red and he shed tears: "Grandpa misses you too..." The grandfather and grandson hugged their heads and cried for a long time before he wiped away his tears and said, "Grandpa really has no relatives in that world this time. Return to Here, I find that little Mingna has grown so big. I seem to have missed a lot. I wonder if you are still willing to accept me as your grandfather?"
Mingna kept nodding: "Of course I do, I do! All of us are looking forward to your return! Brother Bevin is getting married soon, and Manda is getting married too! We also plan to visit Xiaola, you are back , they will be very happy. Right? Alex? "
Only then did Xiao Tianjian realize that there was a strange young man in the tomb: "You are..."
Alex smiled slightly: "Welcome back to this world, Your Excellency Earl Xiao."
