The warm sun shone on the deck, and Minna's body was warm, and she didn't feel hot at all, she leaned back against the railing at the bow of the boat, stretched, and couldn't help yawning: "It's so comfortable... It's been a long time since I've been so laid-back..."Thinking back to the chaotic scenes of the previous few days, it was like a dream

Because Princess Sarah was blocked at the door before leaving, she and Alex had to postpone the trip, and then several passers-by arrived after hearing the news, but she managed to get out

Alex next to him felt the same way: "Indeed...", he was almost caught by his angry father, thanks to the Rose Garden, which has a place called Tunnel!

Minna put her hand on the pergola and looked into the distance: "It seems that the weather will be good these days, you see how calm the sea is, we have a good time"

Alex smiled and nodded: "It's the first time I've traveled in Hehe, and I finally understand what you mean by 'eyes are full of blue se, and you can't see the edges'" Turning around, he suddenly found Minna thoughtful, so he asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

"I remember when I didn't know what it looked like, I used to talk to Ladlow about it, and Ra said that he wanted to see the sea, but he couldn't even see the sea next to the Elven Forest..." ”

Alex silently leaned against the railing beside Minna and said softly, "Actually... If you really want to go to the Elven Forest, it's not impossible."

Minna's eyes widened: "You have a way?!" ”

"It's impossible to go from the mountains to the north, the Misty Wasteland is blocked by humans and elves respectively, and the Grand Canyon of the Celestial Blade can't be crossed by humans, so..." Alexton paused, "I can only walk from He"

Minna was deflated when she heard this: "Do you think I don't know? But the water in the back bay is against the current, and we can't go into the water at all! ”

"What if you don't walk out of the water?"

"What?"

"Walk from the water," Alex smiled slightly. I know a magician, now studying at the First Magic Academy in Shaonan, his mentor is a wind magician, and he is currently researching a way to make people fly in the sky for a long time, I believe you also know that in ancient times, magicians could fly long distances, but this magic has been lost, and now the magicians can only restore the fragmented version of the earth levitation technique based on ancient documents, so that people can be in mid-air for a short time, my friend wrote to me about his teacher, once heard your grandfather Count Xiao mention that you can use material resources to make humans fly into the sky, there is a... Fill the huge earth with heated air and tie a big basket under the ball to carry people into the sky... Have you ever heard your grandfather mention this? ”

Minna carefully recalled what her grandfather had mentioned: "What do you mean... Balloon? That no, grandpa said that there is no guarantee that it will not leak now, it is lightweight, and it can be used to make balloon ground materials, even if it is made of the strongest and lightest canvas, it will be dangerous because it cannot be controlled, he has tried before, but they have failed," paused, and added, "At that time, the canvas of the research land was later used by him as a parachute."

Alex was very confident: "Just because Count Shaw will fail doesn't mean we can't succeed, don't forget that we are magicians and are quite good at wind magic," he blinked his right eye

Minna was stunned and overjoyed: "You mean... Use magic to control the direction of the hot air balloon?! ”

"If it's low-flying, it's much easier, remember? The sea from Esther to the Elven Forest, although the water is turbulent and there are many whirlpools, the wind direction is quite normal, there is no thick fog, we can still see the stars clearly at night, we will not get lost"

The more Minna thought about it, the more she felt that this plan was very feasible, and she hurriedly grabbed Alex's arm: "This method is good!" So when are we going to try it? ”

Alex smiled: "What are you anxious about?" I always want my friend's teacher to produce research results, didn't you just say that it's hard to find what kind of hot air balloon ground material to make? When we get to the Magic Capital, let's visit them first and ask them how they're doing. ”

"Good!" Minna grabbed his arm, "Thanks to you, Alex, I never thought that I could fly in this way, but now I can really see Xiaola again, and maybe I can convince him to come out and play for a while!" The more she thought about it, the more excited she became: "When I used to jump the mountain, I was not as good as my grandfather, so I could only tie a rope to my body, and then jump down with a parachute on my back. Looking down from the sky, Mount Toure must be beautiful! ”

"yes..."Alex was a little absent-minded, he tried his best to maintain a "normal" expression on his face, but he still couldn't help blushing Minna's body was next to him, under the thin cotton dress, the soft feeling was so clear, the girlish fragrance was close at hand, he felt as if there was a hot air rushing to his head...

Minna was unaware of her friend's abnormality: "It would be nice if I was more light, although I can't fly, but the feeling of floating in the air is also very good, but unfortunately grandpa only taught me the most basic things."

Why don't you think he's coming back? ”

"Ahh Yes..."

"I think there is a problem, when grandpa left home before, he would always send a letter back from time to time, but this time there has been no news for several years, it really doesn't seem to be his style"

"Oh... Alex quietly stretched out his right hand and placed it on the railing, looking like he was half-hugging Minna

With just the two of them on deck and no other ships around, wouldn't Minna be angry...

"That's right!" Minna looked up suddenly, but felt a pain in the back of her head, as if she had hit something hard, and then saw Alex bent down and squatted on the deck, as if in pain, she hurriedly asked, "Did I hit you?" You okay? ”

"It's okay," Alex replied vaguely, pulling out his wand and chanting a healing spell on his chin, the pain quickly disappearing, but the tingling sensation of being hit hard did not linger

Well, they have a lot of time anyway...

Alex stood up a little uncomfortably: "What idea did you just come up with?" ”

"Oh, that's right," Minna said, "we're going to Kameca anyway, so why don't we take a turn and go to the Holy Mountain?" I'm looking for a clue from grandpa."

"Count Shaw?" Alex was a little confused, "I have the impression that you seem to have mentioned that he went on an adventure trip?" What does this have to do with the sacred mountain of Kamecca? ”

Minna, remembering that she hadn't told her friend the truth, laughed dryly twice, and looked at him with begging eyes: "Go?" Good no good? Just one day."

How could Alex refuse such a look? I had to nod helplessly, Minna happily hugged his arm again: "Alec, you are so good!" Alex fell between pain and pleasure again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly

"Hey! Minna! Brat! A male voice shouted from the stern, and a familiar face came out, "Fresh oyster~, I just salvaged it, do you want to eat it?" It's delicious! ”

Minna laughed and shouted back, "Thanks, Freedo, Alec doesn't like to eat rawland"

"What a waste!" Frido held one

Holding a beautiful woman in his arms, he glanced at Alex outside the cabin, "Wouldn't it be very uncomfortable not to eat this kid tonight?" The beauty chuckled and muttered, and Frido laughed and hugged her affectionately into the cabin

Alex turned his head to Minna with a blank face: "Is he really your friend?" ”

Minna couldn't stop laughing: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, he has been suppressed for too long, so indulge you can't eat raw oysters~, I can ask the cook to make you oyster soup, how about it?" Come with me! Come on! At the same time, he dragged Alex in the direction of the cabin

==~=================== I'm the dividing line ===================== two days later

Although he had promised Minna a long time ago that he would accompany her to the Holy Mountain Island, when they really stepped on the rocky beach, Alex was still a little stunned to look back at the sea that was gradually recovering turbulently, and then looked at the desolation in front of him, he was a little speechless: "Are you sure it's here?" Count Shaw here? "Is there anything worth adventuring for years on such a small island?

Minna bowed her head and confessed: "I'm sorry, Alex, in fact, I didn't tell the truth before" She hesitated for a moment, and then told her grandfather how she had left the place one by one, and said: "I was old and sad at the time, so I didn't pay attention to it Later, I slowly thought about it, and I always felt that there was something wrong with us The night before I left Ito, Felder came to the Rose Garden, do you remember?" At that time, Corbin quietly came to me, crying and begging for my forgiveness, and he said a lot of things..."

"Corbyn is the one who betrayed you, right? I remember you told Frido to find two Bath slave girls and send them to Ito, his sister, right? Alex thought Minna's words twice in his mind, and some understood

Minna nodded: "Although I hate him very much, his family is quite innocent, I don't want to set them free, but at least they can be reunited thanks to Corbyn's confession, I know what is the biggest reason why grandpa has not been able to come back!" ”

The diamond-shaped stone that Corbyn threw away at that time was the crystal stone used as a switch in the tomb, right? The switch is gone, how can grandpa open that channel?

She stepped on the gravel and walked to the place where she remembered spending the night: "I remember that he left that stone here!" I don't know if I'll be able to do it, but I have to give it a try! ”

Alex smiled faintly: "Then what are you waiting for?" Let's start looking! ”

The two of them worked together to find the rocky beach for less than an hour, and then found the stone, which had long since turned into an ordinary stone, lying quietly in the palm of Minna's palm, making people wonder if it could still play its original effect

Alex took the stone and looked at it carefully, pondered for a moment, and said, "I seem to have read some ancient text, which mentions this crystal... Let's go to the tomb first, you lead the way! ”

Minna nodded, turned around and walked away, they were young and strong, and they had countless mountain climbing experience, and they easily climbed to their destination By this time, it was already afternoon

They came to the cave, ate dry food, lit magic lamps, and walked into the cave

The ancient cave and tomb are still the Nirvana seen last time, but the dust seems to be a little thicker Alex recognized the words on some tapestry, and guessed the owner of the coffins, but Minna was not in the mood to care about this, and went straight to the tomb at the end

The smooth crystal door was silently embedded in the wall, just as Minna had seen her last time, she suddenly became a little nervous, her breathing became short, and the hand holding the stone reached out to the place where the switch was originally located, and she involuntarily trembled slightly

Alex walked up behind her lightly and took the stone: "I'll come" He put the stone back in the groove, noticed that something didn't fit, turned around for a half, and then heard a "click" and closed it

The stone suddenly emitted a silver light, and in an instant, it became transparent, and it seemed to become a shining crystal again, shining brightly in the dark tomb

Minna held her breath and looked at the mirror: "Grandpa... Grandfather! Can you hear me? Grandfather! She threw herself on the mirror, and Alex hurriedly pulled her back so she wouldn't get hurt

However, to their disappointment, the mirror surface did not change at all, and the light of the diamond-shaped crystal gradually dimmed after a while, Minna slowly slid to the ground, extremely depressed: "Still not good?" ”

Alex couldn't bear it, so he said, "Maybe there are other conditions?" Didn't you say that your grandfather cut his hand and smeared it with blood? ”

Minna hurriedly took out a dagger and cut her finger and smeared blood on the mirror, but the crystal mirror still did not react, she thought it was not enough blood, and was about to cut a bigger wound, but was stopped by Alex: "Don't cut it!" Maybe not everyone's blood will do! ”

Minna put down the dagger in a daze, and her mouth flattened: "I originally thought..."

Alex sighed and comforted her with a smile: "It's okay, we can wait here a little longer, anyway, we're not afraid of the dead"

Minna sniffled, hugged him and cried, "Alex, you're so nice..."

Alex patted her on the back gently, and the two stayed in the tomb, and I don't know how long it took, the magic lamp had been replaced twice, and the crystal mirror had not moved, and Minna finally recognized the reality: "It seems... Grandpa really can't come back... Let's go..."

She lowered her head and took Alex's hand, and walked out sadly, just as she was about to squeeze out of the stone door, a dazzling white light suddenly lit up behind her, and she turned her head sharply, only to see that the entire crystal mirror was shrouded in silver light, illuminating the entire tomb clearly

In the silver light, a figure appeared on the mirror, and Minna's heart trembled, and she held her breath: "Grandpa? After a pause, he changed to Chinese: "Is it grandpa?" Alex secretly grabbed his wand and grabbed Minna tightly with his other hand to prevent her from pounced

The silver light gradually dissipated, and the figure appeared in front of the mirror, wearing a white shirt, black pants, black gauze tied on his sleeves, short black hair, bright black eyes, it was Xiao Tianjian, who had been missing for many years, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and his face was a little haggard

He was a little stunned: "Minna? ”

"Grandpa!" Minna's eyes turned red and she threw herself into his arms, "I finally see you!" I miss you so much..."

Xiao Tianju turned red and shed tears: "Grandpa misses you too..."The grandparents and grandchildren hugged their heads and cried for a while before he wiped away his tears and said: "Grandpa really has no relatives in that world this time, but when I came back here, I found that Xiao Minna had grown so big that I seemed to have missed a lot, I don't know if you are still willing to accept me as a grandfather?" ”

Minna kept nodding: "Of course I do, I do!" We're all looking forward to your return! Brother Bevin is getting married, and Manda is getting married too! We're also going to visit Lara, and they're going to be happy when you're back, right? Alex? ”

Xiao Tianjie found that there was a strange young man in the tomb: "You are..."

Alex smiled slightly: "Welcome back to this world, Your Excellency Count Shaw"
