The boat entered the city along a narrow river, and the embankment was planted with trees and foliage, which looked a little gloomy at night. Not far from the shore, there were rows of houses, only some of which were lit with oil lamps outside, and the dim light reflected in them, so that the boats moving on the water could barely see their surroundings.

Minna leaned on the bow of the boat and looked left and right, feeling that this magical capital was no different from ordinary towns, and even compared with the small town of Shaonan that she passed by on the way, it lacked some of its own characteristics. The streets of the houses don't look much different from those of Qiton and Meiton, the only thing that is more special is that some of the houses are strangely shaped, which are more out of the ordinary than the house of the old magician Sennet.

One of them, which looks like a huge flower, has a "petal" shaped wall on the periphery that is layered on top of each other and does not close completely, while the "stamen" and "core" are lit out, which should be a place for people to live, but it seems to be too narrow. In the other room, the shape is like a giant bowl that keeps bubbling green water, and after Xiao Tianjian's explanation, Minna knows that those green water-like things are actually a magic plant, which will keep moving around the house, and has a defensive function.

Could it be that these are the homes of magicians? So why do most houses have a plain appearance? Or is it not ordinary inside? Minna was a little excited when she thought about this.

However, after asking her grandfather, she learned that the place where the ship passed through now could only be regarded as the "civilian area" of the magical capital, that is, the place where the non-magical residents lived. Because of the low land price and rent, many students of the Academy of Magic will rent or buy houses here, and those strange houses are their works. But in the places where the magicians lived, there were absolutely no such houses, because they thought that when they reached a certain level of ability and learning, they should no longer waste their time and energy on such things. If a great magician wants to make a different change to his residence, he will be discussed.

"Lao Sen simply ran to Toure Hill because he didn't want to see this rule." Xiao Tianjian said.

Minna let out an "oh" and asked, "Are there any ordinary people here?" I thought the people here were magicians. ”

"Little fool, even if you are a magician, you have to eat and drink Lazar." Xiao Tianjian said with a smile, "Magic can't be turned into food, so let the magicians go to farm, grow vegetables, kill pigs, bake bread, and milk cows?" Not only are there a lot of ordinary people here, but there are also things that other towns have, but the security here is good, the people's lives are stable, and the days are much more peaceful than those in other towns. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud noise on the shore on the right, which startled Minna, and then a house burst into flames, and a man rushed out of the house screaming, and rolled on the ground a few times before extinguishing the fire on his body. A few neighbors next to him opened the window to look at it a few times, and then immediately closed the window and retracted. The man got up, but as if nothing had happened, ignoring the fire, and just squatting by the river and muttering something. Minna only faintly heard a few words, which seemed to be "too heavy...... should be reduced by two-thirds ......".

She was dumbfounded, this is called "peaceful days"? Turning his face to look at his grandfather, he just smiled and didn't speak, and when he saw Minna pouting, he reached out and pointed in the direction of the firelight. Minna looked back, there were already a few people in front of the house that was on fire, wearing the same style of sky blue robes, chanting a few incantations, and there was a downpour over the house, and the fire was extinguished in a blink of an eye. One of the men approached the owner of the house, and at some point he left with his companions in a thankful voice.

Xiao Tianjian said with a smile: "The Fire Brigade of the City of Magic, with them, there is really no need to worry about anything." ”

Minna blinked, remembering how she had almost set the kitchen on fire two years ago, and wondering why she hadn't had this in the first place. If there is, I don't have to be scolded by my mother.

The boat turned leisurely into another waterway, where the river was narrower, but the water was deeper, there were more oil lamps hanging on the shore, and the houses were denser, but most of them were small buildings of two or three stories, and every few tens of meters there was a bridge across the banks. Minna sat on the boat and passed under the bridge, feeling very fresh.

The boatman Pauldman asked Xiao Tianjian, "Lord Earl, where are you going?" Xiao Tianjian said: "Let's go up the mountain first, you go to my house for the night, and find someone to clean it up tomorrow." "Then I lost the string of keys.

Minna asked curiously, "Grandpa also has a house here?" Are we going to live there? ”

"Forget it tonight, we'll talk about it later." Xiao Tianjian said, "I haven't come back for two or three years, the house has long been covered with dust, and now when I go back, I don't even have firewood to boil water." Let's go to my friend, he has a ready-made bed there. ”

The boat sailed quietly on the water, and finally docked at a small pier at the foot of the mountain. Minna said goodbye to Baodeman, and watched him drive the boat along the waterway, when she was suddenly hugged by her grandfather: "Little Minna, let's go." Minna struggled: "I'm going to go by myself." But he was knocked on the head by his grandfather: "Obedient!" Didn't you say that your legs are uncomfortable? She pouted and stopped resisting.

The two men climbed the stairs, and soon came to a junction, and walked up the hill along a large road that spiraled around the side of the mountain. Minna noticed that there was a staircase connecting the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain longitudinally every 100 meters or so on the side of the road, and asked, "Grandpa, why don't we take the stairs?" Wouldn't that be faster? ”

Xiao Tianjian smiled: "That is indeed a short road, but it can only be passed during the day, and a spell will be cast as soon as it gets dark, and now in the middle of the night, you can only take the main road." ”

Minna nodded, looked left and right at the lamps hanging outside the decent houses, and felt that they didn't seem to be the oil lamps she had just seen: "Grandpa, those don't look like oil lamps, what are they?" ”

"That's a magic lamp, using low-grade hedron as energy, it's quite popular here, if you like it, go back and grandpa will buy you one."

"Thank you, grandpa!" Minna thanked happily, but soon she couldn't help but yawn, and then felt a little dizzy, shook her head, and suddenly found a golden brown light in the air above her head: "Grandpa! Look! We have something on our heads! What is that? ”

"It's the communication network of the magician's settlement, and it's similar to the phone I said, except that instead of cables, it's the spider silk of the sea spider, which is a specialty of the Coral Sea, and it can be used as long as it has magical power. The light is the signal. Xiao Tianjian was a little annoyed by his little granddaughter's question, "Okay, Minna, it's late now, don't make noise to others." I'll tell you about these things later. ”

Minna stuck out her tongue and obediently climbed her grandfather's neck, but her eyes still kept looking around, but she gradually felt that she had no strength in her body, and her dizziness worsened, so she had to lie on her grandfather's shoulder to rest.

I don't know how long it took, but when Minna woke up from her half-asleep slumber, she and her grandfather were already standing in front of a three-story building with a maroon façade halfway up the mountain. Xiao Tianjian knocked on the door twice casually and opened the door by himself and entered the house, but the inside was unexpectedly big. Minna looked at the foyer, which was twice as wide as her own hall, and the height of the several large rooms with half-hidden doors and the carved staircase leading to the second floor, and then thought about the size of the house as seen from the outside, and immediately understood that this must have been a spatial spell.

Xiao Tianjian carried his granddaughter into the corridor behind the foyer, came to a room, and opened the door. Behind the desk sat a man with messy blond shawl hair on his head, looking to be in his thirties, blue-eyed, wearing one-sided glasses, and a somewhat pale face.

He was seriously looking at an old yellowed parchment, and after hearing the sound of the door opening, he looked up a little blankly to see who it was, and when he saw the person, he jumped up with an "ah" and pointed at Xiao Tianjian: "You!" You! You! When will you be back?! I don't have the time to cook for you right now! ”

"I'm not looking for you to make things, so there's no need to overreact, Hanlin." Xiao Tianjian rolled his eyes and put down his granddaughter casually. As soon as Minna landed on the ground, she began to look around, saw the things on the shelf next to her, and recognized one of them as the kind of mosquito repellent box that her grandfather had given her.

"So what are you doing here?!" The blonde man Lin didn't notice Minna at all, he seemed to think of something terrible, and his face turned even bluer, "Patty isn't here!" ”

Xiao Tianjian was closing the door, and he almost didn't fall down when he heard this: "What does it have to do with me if your wife is not there?!" ”

Han Lin looked at him suspiciously, which made him hate him in his heart: "I said it eight hundred times ago, Patty and I are just good friends!" I didn't have any intention of her! If you say something like this, if she hears it, do you know what the consequences will be?! ”

Han Lin thought about it, and his face had turned from blue to white: "Oh my God, the God of Light is above......"

"Don't call your god of light, I'll borrow it from you with my child for one night, okay?"

"Of course no problem, I didn't let the students stay overnight tonight, you can go and sleep in whichever bed you like." He seemed to finally find out about Minna's existence and looked at her curiously, "This is your daughter?" Born with whom? Brown hair and green eyes? Oh my God, it couldn't be Patty's sister?! ”

"Who's going to have a baby with that dinosaur?!" Xiao Tianjian was crazy, "This is my granddaughter!" Granddaughter! It's the only daughter of my second son! ”

Han Lin's eyes widened: "Huh? So you even have a granddaughter? Isn't that an old man? He rolled his eyes and chuckled quietly, "Great, Patty won't fall in love with the old man." ”

Xiao Tianjian resisted the urge to go crazy again, and reluctantly slowed down his voice and said, "I was originally ...... Old man! My grandson has come to see you a few times, don't you remember? Okay, stop talking nonsense, my granddaughter is not in good health, didn't you learn potions? Come and check it out. ”

The other party glared at him: "What are you kidding?!" I'm an alchemist! Not a potions master! You go to the Potions Master, you go to Sennet. ”

"Where did you tell me to find Lao Sen?!" Xiao Tianjian seemed to roll his eyes a lot tonight, "You're the most recent one, and don't you also cook potions?" Last time, I saw you make yourself cold potion. ”

"That's different! Who doesn't know how to cook a few potions from a few colleges? But if you want me to see a doctor, you can't do it! You granddaughter......" Hanlin pointed his finger at Minna and was about to say something, seeing that her head was sleepy little by little, he suddenly stopped and muttered: "Oops, this is not wonderful......" He quickly sat back in his seat, pulled a piece of paper and hurriedly wrote two lines, then got up and walked to the window, raised his hand up, and called out "Syphus Soren", a golden brown light flashed in the air, and the note in his hand was gone.

Minna's eyes widened to see what was going on, but her mind grew more and more drowsy, and she couldn't stand still. She heard Hanlin call for her grandfather to carry her to her room, and then she felt herself be moved to a comfortable bed, and as soon as her head touched the pillow, she lost consciousness completely.

She was in a daze, feeling as if she was still sleeping on the boat, her body swaying gently with the hull and the waves, when suddenly she heard the sound of a drum beating outside, which turned out to be a clown performing. After he finished throwing and catching the ball, he jumped into the water, she was worried about lying on the bow of the boat and looking underwater, she never saw him come out, but the surroundings suddenly became a black color, she was feeling that something was wrong, and wanted to hide in the cabin, in the blink of an eye, the cabin was gone, but the sky suddenly blew a strong wind, the wind mixed with sand and soil hit her, she hugged her head tightly, there was nowhere to hide, as soon as she saw a cave next to it, she ran desperately to the hole. Running into the cave, the wind and sand couldn't get in, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, who knew that there was a loud roar in the cave, and a snowfield monster came out, and a white light came out of its mouth. She couldn't dodge, she was shot in the stomach, and there was a sudden chill in her abdomen, then suddenly it turned into a burning heat, and then she became colic. After a while, not only did the pain in her stomach not abate, but the rest of her body also hurt, and she rolled on the ground, her whole body hurting into a cold sweat.

At this moment, a warm current fell on her head, from head to toe, Manyan extended to the whole body, she didn't hurt so badly, she wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly smelled a very stinky smell, and the whole person suddenly woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw an old man with a dark brown goatee staring at him with a pair of small eyes, and at the same time pouring himself a dark gray-green bubbling slimy potion, which was the source of the stench. She was nauseated, she didn't want to drink the potion, but she didn't have any strength at all, she couldn't lift her hand, she could only be forced to drink the cup of medicine, and the terrible touch in her mouth made her so aggrieved that she was about to cry.

"Is the child awake? How's it going? Xiao Tianjian's voice came from the side. Minna rolled her eyes and saw that he was looking at her with concern, his face a little haggard, but the person she asked was the goatee.

"It's stabilized temporarily, and then I have to rely on medicine to recuperate." Goatee said, "You're so messy, magic chaos is a very troublesome disease, you just take her back to your own residence, why do you want to bring her here?" Didn't you know that this place is full of magicians and magical items? Fortunately, the treatment was timely, otherwise the child might not be able to use magic again in his life. ”

Xiao Tianjian scratched his head, a little ashamed: "I don't know much about this...... Shall I take her back to me now? It's a civilian area, and there aren't any magic apprentices, so there's no such thing...... Magic fluctuates. ”

The goatee glared at him: "No need! Let her stay here, it's stabilized, but once she moves, what if it's chaotic again? Don't move until she's fully healed! ”

Xiao Tianjian smiled wryly, and turned to comfort his granddaughter, who was rolling her eyes: "It's okay, it's okay, now that you're sick and can't move, you'll be able to play everywhere in a few days." ”

She just wants to cough! But isn't it strange that not only could she not move, but she could not even speak? What could she have said before? What the hell happened to her?

(Coming back...... There are so many people, and it's still raining...... ）
