After the ritual of the festival, the revelry begins. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info villagers dance around the bonfire, drink to their heart's content, sing loudly, and the beautiful sound of the twelve-stringed piano has been floating in their ears. The breeze gently brushes the island, carrying a fishy smell, accompanied by the aroma of wine, in the deep night, sending refreshment. There seemed to be no trouble in this place, and everyone had a smile on their faces, except for Adonis, who sat alone in the corner, pouring himself a wine jug and drinking himself, and anyone could see the annoyance in his heart at a glance.

Xuanyu walked over and couldn't help but sit beside him. Adounis's slightly drunken eyes glanced at Xuanyu, and he was about to get up and leave, but Xuanyu grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

"You're not a little kid. Adunis said.

"I'm a man anyway, hehe. Xuanyu's smiling face made Adunis feel a little overwhelmed, he couldn't guess what was going on in the mind of the person in front of him, but the innocent villagers didn't care much about it.

Unable to find a topic to pick up, Adonis drank and read without saying a word. However, Xuanyu didn't plan to let him be silent like this: "The people in your village are very happy, why do you have a bitter gourd face?"

Adonis glared at Xuanyu fiercely, but did not speak.

"By the way, I'm actually here to thank you. Xuanyu smiled and said, "If it weren't for you today, my sister and I wouldn't have been able to come up at all." ”

"Don't thank me, if you want to thank you, go to Grandpa Xie Banku. Adunis said coldly.

"I'll also go to thank Grandpa Banku, and the witch doctor......" Xuanyu said, his eyes rolling slightly, "Speaking of witch doctors, her daughter is called Jasmine." ”

Hearing the name, Adounis's brows furrowed: "Ahh After a simple reply, he drank again.

"This Jasmine ......," Xuanyu said very slowly, "is one of the best beauties in the village." ”

Suddenly, Adonis grabbed Xuanyu's front placket and said fiercely, "Boy! I'll tell you! Don't try to beat her up!"

The other party's strength was too great, and the weak Xuanyu couldn't break free, so she could only beg for mercy: "Worship...... Please...... Let go...... Don't get me wrong, the whole village knows that Jasmine is your Adonis woman, how could I possibly beat her idea!"

"Hmph!" said Adonis angrily letting go of his hand and sitting back down, continuing to drink. At the light ahead, Jasmine pulled Lucia out of the dancing crowd, and the two ran away laughing. Seeing this, Xuanyu sighed with emotion: "Girls of the same age are always so easy to make friends. ”

Adonis didn't speak at first, and after a while, he said, "Take care of your sister, don't let her talk nonsense." ”

"What does this mean?" Xuanyu was puzzled. Xuanyu turned her face away, savoring the subtle hesitation on Adunis' face.

"I mean......" Adonis glared at Xuanyu, "Don't say something tempting to Jasmine, she's restless. ”

"Original...... So ......" Xuanyu curled the corners of her mouth and revealed a meaningful smile.

On the other end, Jasmine dragged her new friend Lucia back to the house of the witch doctor's mother, and in the herb-filled room, she sat down by the shoulders of her.

"Now you can tell me about Egrim;!" Jasmine's eyes lit up at the mention of the subject.

"Oh, actually, Egrem is a little bigger and more populated than you are...... Nothing more. Lucia didn't believe in such an explanation, but she wasn't in the mood to bother making up lies, her attention was still on the blood.

"You're talking nonsense, your friends who came back from Egrem say it's fun, well, you wait. With that, Jasmine ran to the bedroom, took out a small box from behind her pillow, and ran back to hand it to Lucia.

Lucia opened the box, and inside was a brooch. It doesn't seem to be expensive, and the streets and alleys fool the poor girls with fakes, but Jasmine can't put it down, and holds it in the palm of her hand like a baby: "Donna went to Agrim, she gave it to me." I've never seen anything so good, I'm dying of jealousy!"

For some reason, Lucia has some sympathy for this little girl, who can say that it is wrong for a young girl to yearn for the world of flowers?

"Oh, yes...... However, there are also many disadvantages of Agrim, such as...... Hmmm......" Lucia's eyes rolled, "By the way, there are youkai!

Jasmine tilted her head and stared at Lucia, seemingly completely unaware of what she meant. Lucia added, "It's the kind that can do magic!"

"Ahh

So, don't go to such a dangerous place. This was what Lucia was going to say next, but as soon as the words reached her mouth, she forcibly swallowed them because of Jasmine's actions. Jasmine closed her eyes and chanted the incantation, and the brooch slowly rose from her palm, hanging in the air.

"You...... Can you do magic?" Lucia was taken aback and looked at the little girl in front of her, she couldn't see the spiritual power in the other party's body at all.

Faced with Lucia's surprise, Jasmine disagreed: "I just said it, magic, I understand!"

That's what it meant.

"My mother is a witch doctor, and in addition to using medicine to save people, she also uses magic. I've been raised as her heir since I was a child, and of course I can do magic, but what you just saw is the simplest. Jasmine said this, and for the first time there was a smug expression in her tone, and Lucia thought that in Jasmine's mind, this was probably the only merit on the island.

"It turned out to be a healing magic ......," Lucia whispered.

"It's not!" Jasmine retorted, "Although it can be cured, but it can also cost people's lives, my mother said that this skill was taught to my grandmother by the gods, and at that time I repeatedly told my grandmother that she should not use this ability at will, killing people and saving people is only between the first line, and everything is complementary to each other." Later, my mother told me the same thing, and I didn't really understand it, but I knew that if I went to Agrim, those youkai might be driven away by me, and then I would go and treat those who were hurt by them, and they would like me and embrace me. But...... I haven't finished my studies yet, and I'm going to do this for now......"

Looking at Jasmine's smug and disappointed face, Lucia really wanted to answer: "You think too much." But I still didn't have time to blurt out, and I was turned back by Jasmine's next question.

"Is there a handsome guy there?" Jasmine's eyes blinked twice quickly, "It's okay to be like your brother, as long as it's not five big or three thick, like Adonis." ”

"Do you hate him so much? I think he's pretty good!" said Lucia.

Jasmine pouted: "It's not that I hate it, but I really don't like it, but the people in the village want me to marry him." Mama Amanda said that you must marry your beloved to be happy!

"Mama Amanda?"

"I'll tell you quietly, I've been to the monastery!" said Jasmine, laughing, and immediately said seriously, "You need to keep it a secret!"

"I don't understand what you're talking about, and I can't tell anyone else!" Lucia really thought that this little girl was innocent by nature, and if she went to a world of deceit, life would not necessarily be easy.

"By the way, I haven't told you yet. At the Convent of St. Caroline in Rixian Village, my sisters all went to be nuns to have the opportunity to go out into the outside world, and Donna was one of them. As she spoke, she pushed the brooch in her hand in front of Lucia again, "It's a pity that our Yueqin Village only believes in that god who came from nowhere, otherwise, we will have the same good life as Rixian Village." ”

"You also reminded me of the meaning of that performance at the memorial service?" asked Lucia, "what will happen to the horse blood in the end?"

After changing the subject, Jasmine's expression darkened: "That's just to let the villagers remember the gods' kindness to the village." There is a legend that a unicorn came to this island hundreds of years ago, and came to the village every once in a while to make trouble, killing countless people, and being extremely cruel. The villagers were angry but helpless, and at this time a fairy came to the island, and after capturing the unicorn, he wanted to kill it, but because of its pleading and pleading, he felt mercy, so he broke its horn and released it. Who knew that after the fairy left, the unicorn did not repent, intensified, and cast a magic through the sky, so that the island continued to suffer disasters every year, crops could not be planted, and the fish went out to fish and dragged away by the mermaids, just when the villagers had no way to live, the fairy returned to the island again, he killed the unicorn, and left a holy light, from then on, under the protection of the holy light, the mermaid did not dare to approach the nearby seas, the island is also a bumper harvest year after year, and the life of the villagers is more comfortable and peaceful than before. ”

The so-called holy light should refer to the Seven Holy Lords, Lucia thought to herself, according to Jasmine, the immortal should be a magician with profound mana, but his image is somewhat similar to Xuanyu, could it be......

"Then why keep the horse's blood?" said Lucia.

"The gods need it. Jasmine shrugged her shoulders and said, "It's weird, so I think even if this legend is true, the so-called gods are just another kind of monster." How could a serious immortal need a human being to worship something so evil. ”

Lucia raised her eyebrows, and she thought that Jasmine had a point.

"She didn't fear the gods like the others, but she was interested in the gods of the monastery!" said Adunis, sipping his wine.

The jade who was sitting on the side glanced at him with a smile and said, "You like Jasmine so much?"

Adonis was stunned for a moment, his face flushed slightly: "We were together when we were young, and the people in the village said that she would marry me in the future, and I always thought so. ”

"You are the kind of person who can accept your fate calmly, but Jasmine is different, although you are in the same village and you are childhood sweethearts, your pursuits are very different. IMHO, you and her are not suitable. When Xuanyu spoke his thoughts in his usual flat tone, Adunis was not as annoyed as Fang Cai, he was silent, quietly drinking his wine, looking at the dancing and joyful villagers, as if he had not heard Xuanyu's words at all.

After a while, he muttered: "Human beings are always greedy, guarding the quiet river but longing for the magnificent sea, but I don't know if the river is still as quiet as before when I want to return to this river with scars after experiencing wind and rain." ”

Maybe it was because of the wine, the silent Adonis said so much at once, which made Xuanyu a little surprised, but what surprised him even more was that the seemingly young Adonis would have such feelings.

Through the drunkenness, Adonis's words also became dense: "This is what someone said to me when I was a child, and I didn't understand the meaning at the time, but now I taste it carefully, and it really means a lot." As he spoke, he smiled wryly and turned to Xuanyu again, "Jasmine is leaving Elysium." ”

"Take me with you when you're leaving!" Jasmine's sudden request made Lucia feel a little confused.

"Just come with us, don't worry?" Lucia glanced at Jasmine out of the corner of her eye and looked around the room, "Anyway, she is also the daughter of a witch doctor, and her status in the village should not be low, will your mother let us people of unknown origin take you away?"

"Of course I can't tell her!" Jasmine stared at her round eyes, as if she had just discovered that Lucia was an idiot, "We sneaked away, and besides, we don't have a deep hatred, why don't I feel comfortable with you?"

This logic convinced Lucia again, and at the same time became more convinced that Jasmine would be bullied if she went to Agrim.

"However, we don't have a ship ......," Lucia told the truth this time, "the waters outside the island are so unsafe, we can't take care of how to take you with us!"

"Oh, you're so stupid! I've told you so many times why I don't know!" Jasmine thrust Lucia's head hard, "We can go to Rixian Village, go to Mama Amanda, she's a nice person!

In fact, Lucia has not forgotten what Jasmine just said about the Convent of St. Caroline, and not only that, but she is very concerned. Under the deterrence of unknown demon beasts, even the succubus mermaid hid in Bishui City, and rarely came out in the past thirty years. How could the monastery have the ability to travel back and forth between Agrim and Elysium many times, was it really lucky that she didn't run into that demon beast, or was there some other trick to control the enemy? The more she thought about it, the more wrong it became, there must be something wrong with this!

"Well, tomorrow you two brothers and sisters will come with me to Rixian Village!" Jasmine invited herself.

"Okay!" Lucia couldn't ask for it, and when she thought of Xuanyu's physical condition, she asked, "By the way, you haven't told me yet, what to do with those horse blood?"

"How?" Jasmine frowned slightly, she really couldn't understand Lucia's concern, but she didn't think deeply, "Well, I'll be dumped early tomorrow morning." ”

"Oh, that's good......" said Lucia, the corners of Lucia's mouth lifted triumphantly.
