Act XXVII: Prosperity (II)
Act XXVII: Prosperity (II)
After arriving at the inn of this world, Avis looked at the dilapidated room in front of him with some astonishment—white walls, mottled wooden floors, and the only thing that was still neat and tidy was the pure white mattress. Through the closed window, Ives could see the outside—a black, hard wall.
Covering his forehead a little helplessly, Avis felt that he was pitted by Ge Tongluo. Ge Tongluo, on the other hand, looked at the room with a calm face, his eyes scanned around some dark places, and after confirming that there were no dangerous traps, he put his bags directly on the bed, and said, "I'll take a shower first, will you go?" ”
"No, I don't." Avis shook his head, "Magicians always have some little tricks up their sleeves to solve the bathing problem. ”
"Heh, a trick of magic?" Ge Tongluo shook his head and walked to the cubicle. Magic tricks are one of the most common o-ring tricks used by magicians, and the effect is to create a small trick - such as creating a light source, or removing dust from one's own body. Ives used this trick to keep his body clean in the wilderness where he couldn't take a bath.
He took off his black hat and threw himself on the bed. Ives closed his eyes a little helplessly, to be honest, after such a long journey, he was really a little sleepy, so he didn't want to get up in bed, closed his eyes, a feeling of tiredness hit, and he didn't want to open them...... By the time Ge Tongluo came out of the cubicle after taking a shower, Avis was already asleep.
"I originally wanted to sue him for spending a lot of money on a bath, but seeing that he slept so soundly, let's wait until he wakes up." Ge Tongluo muttered to himself for a moment, and then sat down on the bed next to Avis. Avis was already asleep at this time, so he didn't see it, and Ge Tongluo, who had just finished taking a shower, wiped his somewhat wheat-colored skin, revealing a beautiful face. The pure white head was scattered over his shoulders, and there seemed to be something looming in his chest......
"What a fool......
Ge Tongluo muttered to himself, his voice no longer low, but a little ...... Woman. Flatter.
……
When I woke up, there was darkness in the world.
A lamp was lit on a nearby table, illuminating the dark room in front of him. There was silence all around, and Avis straightened up, but he didn't see anyone in the room. He lifted the cup he was covering and sat up, shaking his head, his eyes and thoughts slowly clear. He remembered where he was.
Since becoming a mage and being able to use meditation instead of sleep, Ives hasn't slept in a while. He only felt that he slept very comfortably, and he didn't have a dream, so he just slept from the moment he fell asleep until dark.
After waking up from his sleep, Avis felt a pang of hunger in his belly, and he was about to go out to get something when he heard the sound of high-heeled boots on the wooden staircase.
With a shrill 'crunch', some of the dilapidated doors were pushed open, and the wanderer, who was hidden under his cloak, walked into the somewhat small room. He still had a plate of food in his hand, and when the wanderer came to Avis's side, he laughed: "I slept so well that I couldn't wake up no matter how I screamed." ”
Ives touched the back of his head a little embarrassed, then looked behind him and said, "Did you cover me with this quilt?" ”
"Who else do you think there is?" Ge Tongluo glanced at Avis, and Aives nodded awkwardly and said with a smile: "Then thank you very much." He slept as deeply as a baby just now, and it seemed that it was also the credit of Ge Tongluo.
"Come, get something to eat." Ge Tongluo put the food in front of Avis. Avis nodded, and then he took a spoon and took a bite of the meal in front of him—not pretty, but not unpalatable, I think he could barely eat it. It's rare to be able to eat such food in these last days, and Avis won't ask for too much.
"Let's go out when you're done." Ge Tongluo said, "Aren't you looking for clues from the dragonmen? ”
"Hmm." The half-elf mage nodded, acknowledging Ge Tongluo's words. Ge Tongluo glanced at Avis who was eating again, and said curiously: "Actually, we can go back after staying here for two months, I'm more curious why you want to explore those dragonmen?" ”
Avis was silent for a while, of course he couldn't say that completing the main quest would allow him to reach level 5. But he only thought for a moment, and then said, "Are you willing to waste two months of your time for no reason?" ”
"Huh?"
"It's two months to eat and drink here, and it's two months to investigate the secrets of this world, so why not do something meaningful? Besides, there are treasures in adventure, and no matter how low the magic is, there should be some good stuff here, right? Avis continued to eat, and continued, "One last point...... You know, I have dragon blood in my body. ”
"Huh? You have dragon blood in your body?! Ge Tongluo said with some surprise. Avis was speechless: "Didn't I tell you that my profession is a dragon mage......
"How do I know that the dragon vein mage has dragon blood in his body? I don't understand the terminology of you magicians. Ge Tongluo shook his head a little helplessly, and his body sat directly beside Avis, "So? Do you want to find those dragonmen to study and dissect? ”
“…… Why would you think I'm that kind of person? ”
"Huh? Aren't all mages like that? In a gloomy room, he smirked and took a scalpel and dissected the strange objects he had caught into different shapes......"
Avis didn't know how to continue the conversation with Ge Tongluo.
……
In the black night sky, there is not a single star, and there seems to be a great terror between the heavy black canopy, which seems to devour everything between heaven and earth.
Ives and Ge Tongluo walked on this bustling street, orange lights were lit everywhere, and some magic crystals were also used as Chang Ming's illumination, which made Ives have some palpitations - in their original Alentia 6, there was also a lot of magic crystals produced, but there has never been any place where this capital used magic crystals as props for Burning Ming!
