"Even if there is no sun, it will be hot like this."

Walking one foot deep and one foot shallow on the soft dunes, Riddle raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead to keep it from flowing into his eyes, while muttering incessantly.

"Maybe it's a particularly active relationship with the fire elementals, right?" Kamiyu put his hand on his eyes and made a lookout: "I've been walking for almost an hour, if I can't find my target quickly, leave aside that strange fruit, the fat man will become a human ......"

Tannis had no intention of refuting Kamiyu, the blazing heat tortured him, and now he could only stick out his tongue and gasp like a dog.

"Miss Elisa, can't you get some water out to quench Mr. Tannis' thirst?"

Alice couldn't bear to ask Alyssa, who was walking in the front. The water they carried had long since been drunk, and the water bladder was empty.

"There's too little moisture in the air, and it's troublesome to accumulate, but elemental water is fine, but you can't drink it......" Alyssa could only take the time to turn around and smile bitterly.

In fact, from the very beginning, the girl has maintained a weak magic force, using the principle of ice magic to create a cold air around her, and then if Tio next to her uses the breeze magic as an air conditioner, I am afraid that several people have already suffered from heat stroke.

At this time, Kamiyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed ahead and shouted: "There is an oasis there!" ”

"It's not going to be another mirage, is it...... Woo, I've had enough......" Dorothy said with a grimace.

They'd had encountered this phenomenon twice in a row before.

However, Theo, who was walking in front of her, turned around and said softly, "It's true." The wind element brings back the taste of water. ”

Without waiting for the others to react, the half-dead Tannis, like a wolf, screamed and rushed towards the oasis that was a little looming because of the heat.

"It's too reckless to run over like this...... "Alyssa didn't have time to stop it, and finally ran over with the others.

Fortunately, there seemed to be nothing wrong in the oasis, and there were no other students in ambush. There were no monsters inhabited by them.

The oasis is not large, about the size of the circular flower beds that are common at three-way crossings, except for sparse shrubs and a waterhole. There is only one...... Coconut palm?

"Why are there coconut trees in the desert?"

Kamiyu walked around the tree twice speechlessly, and then suddenly realized: "Could it be that you say! ”

"Well, this should be 'the last hair of a bald man'."

Alyssa looked at the untimely coconut tree and came to the same conclusion.

"Now we're just going to pull it out. Right. ”

Filled with water, Tannis and Riddle lay on the ground and joined the conversation with a satisfied expression.

There is a spring in the pool that is constantly bubbling out, not the bacteria-infested stagnant water. So even if you drink a little, it's fine.

Alice was happily filling the empty water bladder while Dorothy was washing her dusty sand sand slur.

Theo stared at the coconut tree ground for a moment, then quietly tugged at Elisa's sleeve.

"The ground near the coconut has been turned over." The little girl looked at the green coconuts on the coconut tree with a serious face, as if she was thinking about whether they would be delicious or not, and at the same time her mouth moved in a very small amplitude, and said softly to Alyssa.

The corner of Alyssa's eye jumped, and she casually picked a coconut with the mage's hand. When he handed it to the little girl, he nodded imperceptibly, indicating that he understood.

At the same time, Tannis, who had just planned to take a bath in the waterhole but was vetoed by Dorothy, also looked at the sky, as if absentmindedly using his finger on the soft sand that Alyssa could just see. A mark was drawn that stood for 'someone watching'.

The girl calmed down, relying on the perception increase of the equipment on her body, and also sensed that something was wrong—in addition to the mage eye that had been following them from the beginning, there was another mage eye.

What Theo and Tannis wanted to tell her was that someone had already been here, pulled out the coconut tree, and found some clues, but because they didn't see the secret words of the wooden platform and there was no fruit, they couldn't solve the mystery, and at this time those people didn't leave, they were lying in ambush somewhere, watching them with the mage's eye or something!

The reason why I didn't tell them was because I felt that they couldn't hold their breath, and the expression on their faces after knowing that they would definitely be unnatural, and maybe they would be able to see flaws, so there would be no room for slowing down, and they would have to face the attack of another group of people.

She wouldn't be so naïve as to think that the other party had been in ambush for so long, just to shake hands with them and have a chat or something......

While instructing Riddle and them to use their magic to pull out the coconut tree, Alyssa quietly gestured 'Raise your vigilance, prepare to cast a spell'.

Because I don't know what the strength of the other party is, it's not a good thing to rashly provoke a fight, even if the other party's strength is not good, it's not impossible to entangle them, so if the time limit of more than an hour passes, if the golden fruit rots into ashes, they will be equivalent to running for nothing, and the previous hardships will be all in vain......

So the best option for them at the moment is to continue to pretend that they don't know anything, take out the freedom badge while resisting the other party's sneak attack, and take the opportunity to escape!

However, it is unknown whether the reality will go as smoothly as Alyssa expects.

——State Guest House——

"I didn't expect them to find out."

Sivi looked appreciative: "I almost couldn't help but want to remind them just now." ”

"Do you mean the imps hiding underground?" Although he was a little dumbfounded at times, as the 'original' great magician at the end of the Great Migration Era, Fett was still very keen in many aspects: "If the wind element of Little Tio can't be detected, it must be underground, and that little fat man's earth element affinity is also good, and he can actually sense the strangeness of the earth element in such a short time." ”

"Because they're all my students, that's normal!"

Sivi was as proud as a stupid father who showed off his child's test scores for a moment before standing up: "In that case, I can also settle down and clean the room." ”

Fett stumbled and nearly fell out of mid-air.

"What? Cleaning the room? She looked at Sivi with a serious face in surprise.

"It doesn't take much time. From the very beginning, the Mage Guild had placed the participants in the Appraisal at the edge of the city where nothing would have had much impact on Hohenhagrid itself, and had materialized the so-called interference into a potion that could be destroyed...... "Sivi shook a bottle of Interference Elixir between his fingers and shook it at Fett: "I already guessed that this would happen—or that would have been included in the assessment of the leading teacher, I'm right, Mr. Scrivener." ”

The quill that had been on the side of the potions basin from the beginning floated up on its own, and the words on the paper beside it were written, 'You're too worried, Mr. Edric. ’

At the same time, two magicians dressed in black robes without any marks had melted the door of the guest house into a puddle of brown liquid and quietly arrived inside the small building...... (To be continued.) )
