Chapter 209: The Magician
Woo~~
The whistle of the train resounded with the rhythmic clatter of the sunset in the wilderness, and the disturbed deer on the side of the road bounced back and forth in the bushes of the woods, chewing incessantly, and some blades of grass exposed beyond the churning lips, but the eyes stayed on the white smoke of the steel monster leaving.
Woo~~
Finger pressed his legs on Donald's thighs, his front paws on the table, and the call of the train, the orange sunset sun on his neck and forehead, the golden hair shining on his eyebrows.
"Okay, I know you're imitating a lot, but it's dinner time, and there's a lot of people watching. ”
The index finger dragged Finger's chin back to close it, perhaps because he had been in Dmingham for a long time, and suddenly saw Finger in the wilderness was always a little excited.
The other guests next to him were all looking at the good-looking cat, and a few of the children were pointing at it and discussing it.
Because the government was worried that Julia and Tiffany would have problems if they were too close together, after picking up Anthony, they left Demmingham by boat from the Auschway Sea to another nearby coastal port, where they went ashore and took a train.
"When you eat the steak, you have to dip it in some sauce, like this, and then put it in your mouth, otherwise it will taste a little woody...... Don't learn from Lilo, she's not like you, and she can just tolerate lemon juice. ”
Sitting across from her, knife and fork in hand, Anthony is teaching Julia how to eat steak properly to make it taste the best, and preventing her from mimicking Lilo who is pouring lime juice on the steak, and Donald can see in his eyes his affection for Julia.
Of course, the affection here refers to the care of the elders for the younger ones.
Donald was worried that Julia would not get along with a few of his friends, after all, this girl's personality is a bit introverted to put it bluntly.
But he ignores that both of them have actually lost their own families, and that if Anthony's daughter were alive, she would be about the same age as Julia now.
It is estimated that after a while, even if Donald does not want to escort Julia, Anthony will take the initiative to take on this task.
"Donald, where are we going next?"
Stephanie asked after bringing a thick soup from the dining car and serving a bowl to each of them.
"It's supposed to be the city of Beru, the train will go straight there, about a day's drive, and then we need to walk to the next city where we can get a train...... Ignore this for now, anyway, the first stop is Beluye, and the rest will be studied when they get there. ”
The train network of this era did not cover the whole country, and generally speaking, only cities with a certain level of population would build this means of transportation, especially after entering the inland areas, and there were often mountains and rivers between cities, so many times the train lines were often just connecting several specific cities in series, running back and forth, rather than going to all parts of the country in a few days like Donald in his previous life.
Not to mention that some routes don't have trains at all, so if you want to take another train line, you have to walk to the next city where you can take a train.
"Does the government have any time requirements for us, such as having to arrive at the Temple of Justice within a few months......
In fact, the important thing is not the distance, but their limited period, if it is one or two years, it is naturally very abundant, and it is too late to walk around along the way.
"Half a year, in general, it is quite abundant, they said in the letter to me, if according to the normal process of five months how to arrive, the extra month is a buffer, if you really encounter anything on the road, you will not rush to hurry. ”
Donald was quite satisfied with the time limit given by the government, at least he didn't have to bury his head all the way to hurry, maybe he would miss a lot of things, so he cut a piece of grilled sausage into two and fed it to Finger, thought about it and continued,
"My plan is to stay in Belluye for a few days and get Stephanie's talent potion ready, so that she can start studying her talent early while we're on our way. ”
In the remuneration from the government, there is naturally the remaining materials of emotional talent, and the government helps to procure them, and there is no such strange thing as mixed fruit in the formula, so it is not surprising that it is quickly put together.
"Well, I've been trying to find a place to configure talent potions. ”
Stephanie had been looking forward to her talent for a long time, and as soon as she heard that the next stop was going to find a place to start configuring, she kept nodding her head.
Before dinner time was over, the wilderness outside was already covered in darkness.
The Donald and his family took an ordinary train, and the internal carriage was also simple, with two beds on the left and right in a compartment, and a small table and a lamp that could be turned on and off by itself in the center.
Donald is in a compartment with Julia, and he has to escort the girl anytime and anywhere, since it is an escort mission, the preparation along the way is naturally indispensable.
Stephanie and Lilo are in a separate compartment, and Anthony is in a separate compartment.
Donald had just sat down on the bed, and was about to look through the few spell scrolls he had just gotten, when Julia on the other side leaned against the bed and sighed softly, not in a high tone, but Donald still heard it.
The reason is obvious, it's nothing more than boring.
Julia came out with a change of clothes and daily necessities, but nothing else, and now that it's night, there's nothing to pass the time, Donald's spell scroll must be incomprehensible, and Finger doesn't want her to touch it, so he can only sit cross-legged on the bed in a daze.
Knock knock~
There was a knock on the wooden door outside the cubicle, and Anthony appeared next to him.
"Donald, I've heard that someone is performing magic tricks in the carriage, do you want to go and see it?"
Anthony asked Donald, but his eyes were looking at Julia, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Donald also knew that with Anthony's character, he would naturally not be interested in this kind of little magic trick on the train, and he would probably prefer to read some literary books at this time, but who let Julia, this news was obviously specially inquired by him.
"Leeks, wear shoes. ”
Donald took Finger, who didn't know when he got into his backpack and didn't know what he was messing with, into his arms, looked at Julia, who was full of anticipation, and said with a smile.
I wanted to call Stephanie, but when I got out of the compartment, I found that Stephanie was already waiting with Lilo, and the former was still holding two bags of dried fruit in his hand.
"This is still sold in the car?"
Donald grabbed the bag from Stephanie's hand, then handed the unopened one to Anthony, and he pinched a few and gave them all to Julia.
Julia ran up to Lilo again to share it with her.
"I bought it when I was going to have fun with Anthony when I was going to have fun, as well as melon seeds and pecans, I didn't take them when it was inconvenient to eat them on foot, if you want to eat them, go to me and get them later...... Hey, let me tell you, the magician claims to have changed himself into a magic trick like never before, and it sounds interesting to say what can make an old woman a girl. ”
Leaning over Donald as she spoke, Stephanie was clearly looking forward to the magic as well.
"You're listening to the one that turns an old woman into a girl, right?"
Carrying the consciously emitting fire element in his arms as a hand warmer, he passed through the two carriages, and soon arrived at the carriage where they had dined before, at this time several movable tables were put together and placed in the center of the carriage, and the long benches before were in several rows on the left and right, and many passengers were already sitting here, and the arrival of Donald and the others did not attract attention.
After all, like them, almost everyone here is talking with dried fruits in their hands.
"Alas~ It's too late, and the first row of seats has been robbed. ”
Reluctantly, he sat down and looked all at the decent magician in the middle.
A top hat with a red ribbon around the brim, a tuxedo, a black cloak on the outside and red on the back, and a magic wand in his hand.
"It's just this dress, tsk, it looks like I'm getting a little interested. ”
The person is obviously an expert, not a crappy magician who comes on the field to have fun.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a pleasure for you to come and see my performance, my name ......"
With a short introduction, accompanied by a salute ribbon spraying out of the port of the magic wand, the show is the beginning.
In the end, it is a professional magician, such as pulling pigeons out of his sleeves, lifting rabbits out of his hat, and other skills, and occasionally there are a few funny words, so as not to be cold, Donald looked at Julia who kept clapping her hands next to her and Lilo who stared at those magic tricks with wide eyes.
The latter had asked Donald several times if the magician was capable of spatial spells, as she could not feel spell fluctuations......
"Guys, I'm going to show you my magic now, go back in time!"
This is not a small name.
"Here, I just heard that this person's most powerful show is this time lapse. ”
Stephanie patted Donald on the thigh and put her shoulder on his arm, causing Donald to shrink into the other side of his arms.
The so-called time lapse is to ask any elderly person present to cooperate and use a drop of "water of time" to transform a person into the appearance of a young person through the casting of "spells".
"And this kind of magic?"
Donald and Anthony looked at each other, and the latter shrugged, saying he hadn't seen it either.
"Look, this is the water of time, now I'm going to drop it into a glass of fruit wine, and start casting spells!"
The magician took out a small glass test tube from his waist containing a drop of red liquid, poured the fruit wine as follows the steps, and then shook his hands on the wine glass as if he were windy.
"Flutter~ I want to see how he does this magic. ”
Stephanie couldn't hold back her laughter, although she couldn't cast spells, she had seen it, and naturally knew that it was just a trick.
But when the old man drank the wine.
The wrinkles on the face really began to disappear, and finally turned into a state with an old body and a young face!
How others don't know, anyway, Donald almost choked to death from the almonds he just swallowed in his throat......
