There was still no response in the darkness, Minna took a few deep breaths and said loudly, "Come out quickly, if you don't come out again, I'm going to attack with magic!" This is half a scare and half a courage, her magic power is mediocre, if she really uses attack magic, she can only last four or five moves.

But this sentence obviously had an effect, and there was a clear sound of footsteps in the dark aisle, and then, a familiar face appeared in the light: "Miss Minna? Is it you in there? ”

"Corbyn?" Seeing that it was an acquaintance, Minna breathed a sigh of relief, but she immediately wondered again, "Why are you here?" Aren't you on board? ”

At this time, Corbin had already entered the stone room where the crystal magic mirror was located: "I saw that you haven't come back, and I'm a little worried, so I'll come and have a look." Hey? What about the aristocratic lord? ”

Minna was about to tell the truth, when she suddenly remembered her grandfather's instructions, so she changed her words and said, "He...... He's gone on an adventure and he's not here......" But thinking that her grandfather was already in another world and didn't know what was going on, she couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes and tears welled up again. Looking at the crystal mirror, it was still dark, and there was no reaction.

Will grandpa really come back? She couldn't help but panic.

"Has the noble lord left? So what do we do? Corbin asked, and took out a handkerchief to help Minna wipe her tears, but when she saw that the handkerchief was stained, she was embarrassed to take it back into her arms.

"We ...... Let's go back to Uncle Yutan's house first......" Minna looked at the mirror a few more times, and in her heart she still wanted to stay and wait for Grandpa's message, "Wait a little before leaving, I'll ...... I want to stay a little longer......"

"Little Miss, it's almost evening now, if you don't go down the mountain, it will be dark, the road is not easy to walk, if we wait until dawn tomorrow to leave, we will not be able to catch up with the low tide at dawn." Corbin whispered, "If you're tired, go down the mountain and rest, it's not hard to go down." Stay here...... Isn't it scary? It's all dead people's bones...... Some people say that it is haunted at night, and there is a ghost fire. ”

"Haunted?" Minna's eyes lit up, will it ...... But she quickly overturned that idea in her mind. Grandpa once said that the so-called ghost fire is actually caused by a component of the bones of dead people burning in the air, and those strange sounds are actually the sound of the wind blowing into the rock caves, and there is also such a phenomenon in the desert. Grandpa said a long time ago, this is all other people's superstitious sayings.

So, is she going to wait any longer? Minna looked at the mirror again, hesitating to move.

"Little Miss, let's go." Corbin seemed to be a little anxious, looked left and right a few times, and urged, "The noble lord is not here, what's the use of you staying?" Didn't he tell you to go back first? He must have a plan of his own, right? ”

This reminded Minna that grandpa didn't know when he would come back, and when he came back, he could go down the mountain and cross the sea by himself, even if he didn't wait for him. He had been on the mainland for many years, and nothing could bother him, and he had been here before...... Thinking like this in her heart, Minna settled down a little, although she was still very reluctant, but she still moved her feet and walked out.

She lifted the magic lamp placed by the door, but saw Corbin staring thoughtfully in the direction of the mirror, and her heart was nervous: "Corbin, Corbyn, let's go!" "He's not going to discover the secret of the mirror, is he?

Corbin responded, turned around and smiled: "You go first, I'll follow behind, and you won't be afraid." "Just look around at the ground and make sure nothing is left behind.

Minna thought about it too, so she went out first. Minna felt that even though the aisle was darker than before, and the magic lamp in her hand was not as bright as before, the fear in her heart was greatly reduced, and she was no longer afraid when she passed by the stone chamber where the coffin was stopped.

But Corbyn seemed to grind in the stone chamber for a while before he came out, and when Minna asked him why he had been delayed for so long, he only said that he thought the mirror was beautiful, so he looked at it a few more times. Minna, fearing that he would find the mirror connected to another world, hurried him out of the cave.

Outside the cave, the sun is already setting. Minna looked at the rocks and trees in the twilight, and suddenly had a feeling that she was in another world, and her grandfather was no longer around, I don't know if I can come back, and I don't know when he will come back, and in the future, will she be the only one left?

Corbin whispered, she suddenly woke up, hurriedly extinguished the magic lamp, and was about to habitually put it into the bracelet, only to remember that her bracelet had been taken by her grandfather, and now the ring containing things must bleed when used, and she also had to recite a spell. How could she do this in front of Corbyn? I had to hold on to the lamp and move down the mountain step by step.

It was indeed much easier to go down the mountain than to go up, she only had to follow the path that her grandfather had cleared when she went up the mountain, and slide as she went. Corbyn is also very agile in his movements, and even walks faster than Minna along the way. It only took two or three hours for the two to reach the base of the mountain.

By this time it was already dark, and in the dim moonlight, Minna could vaguely see that the sea was at high tide, and the black water was flooding the stone steps in waves, washing away the already not very solid surface. As far as the eye can see, there is no trace of the pathway.

Minna felt a little hungry and inconvenient to get food, so it was better to go back to the ship as soon as possible. After thinking about it, she said to Corbin: "Corbin, the way back to the island will only be exposed at low tide, but at high tide, it will also be there, right?" So...... Is the water on that road shallower than in other places? We should be able to wade back into the water, right? ”

Corbin shook his head and said, "No, the sea at high tide is nearly two meters higher than at low tide, and it's night, I can't see the direction clearly, and I don't know where the whirlpool is, it's too dangerous to walk back." Even if an adult like me can go, you will definitely be drowned as a child, so let's wait for tomorrow. ”

Minna was a little discouraged, touched her belly, looked at the ring on her finger, and considered whether to borrow a knife from Corbin to cut her hand (she had no weapons on her). At this time, Corbin said, "Are you hungry?" I didn't bring any food, but I should be able to find food nearby, but there is no fresh water. ”

Minna turned to look at him in surprise: "Can you find something to eat?" Fresh water is fine, I can conjure it up with magic! "That's what she's most familiar with.

Corbin was a little surprised: "That's great, come with me." He turned and walked towards the eastern side of the Holy Mountain, Minna following closely.

After a short time, they came to a rocky beach, under the illumination of the magic lamp, they could see a natural small inlet near the sea, enclosing four or five square meters of shallow seawater, and the gravel extended into the water, and a few small shrimp and small fish were swept in by the waves, but they were stopped in the bay by the circle of gravel.

Minna screamed, put down the magic lamp, and pounced, caught a few small fish, and carried them around the hem of her clothes, but she didn't know what to do. Corbin brought two stones over, scrubbed the surface of the stones with seawater a few times, and said, "Get some fresh water out and put it in here." Minna noticed that the surface of the two stones was slightly dented, and she immediately understood Corbyn's intention, and busily did as he said, and put the little fish she had caught into the water.

"But what do you want to cook?" Minna asked. Although Grandpa mentioned that there were people in his world who made pots out of stones, she had never tried it.

Corbin fetched some hay and dry branches from the side of the mountain. In autumn and winter, there are quite a lot of dry branches and hay on the mountain, and those far from the sea are not damp, which is a good material for igniting fire. However, when Corbin pulled out the flint from his body, he was troubled - his flint was damp, and at some point it was wet, and it could not be fired.

Minna looked at the flint, then at the hay, clenched her fists and said, "I'll come!" "Although she can't use the fireball technique, it is not a problem to get a little spark, the dead grass is very dry, and a little spark can burn.

And so it is. Minna couldn't help but cheer as she watched the pile of dead branches burn brighter and brighter, and assisted Corbin in carefully moving the fire to the edge of the stone "pot". Corbin touched a few more handfuls under the rocks by the sea, fished out a few scallops, pried open the shells, added water, and put them on the fire to cook.

The aroma gradually wafted in. The water in the stone "pot" was quickly boiled dry, but the small fish and shrimp were also cooked, and the salt particles left over from the evaporation of the seawater remaining on the surface of the stone were not unpalatable, and the scallop meat was even more delicious.

Minna ate and ate, and couldn't help but think of the days she traveled with her grandfather. At that time, they often searched for ingredients and tools in the field like this, and Grandpa would make all kinds of delicacies in a way she had never seen before, so that she was so full every time that she could barely walk.

But now, the person who cooks for her by her side is not her grandfather, and her grandfather has long since left her, all her relatives in this world, and returned to his original world.

Thinking of this, she felt that it was difficult to swallow, and she barely swallowed it, but she burst into tears.

Corbin looked up and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Is something hard to eat? He was a little sad, this kind of food is already a rare delicacy for their family, whether it is fish, shrimp or scallops, once they catch it, they will sell it directly, and they only eat seaweed, wild vegetables and coarse batter. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find other food, he wouldn't be so extravagant, but unfortunately, the young lady of the noble family still couldn't get used to it.

Minna didn't know that he had misunderstood herself, so she just shook her head wildly, wiped away her tears, and continued to eat the shellfish.

Filling his stomach, Corbin went to bed early next to a big rock on the rocky beach, and advised Minna to go to bed early to recuperate. Minna lay down on the gravel, unable to sleep comfortably, looking up at the stars in the sky, and remembering the past with her grandfather, I don't know how long it took before she closed her eyes in a daze.

Before dawn, she was awakened by the cold breeze of the sea, and she curled up like a shrimp and moved towards the big rock where Corbin slept, trying to find a place to block the wind. Vaguely, she saw that Corbin seemed to be holding something in his hand, turning it over and over, and her face was not very good-looking, so she asked, "Corbyn, what are you holding?" ”

Corbin hadn't noticed that she was awake, and was startled by her words: "No, nothing......" but Minna had already seen what he was holding, it was a gray stone, diamond-shaped, and it seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

So she asked, "What are you doing with a rock?" Corbyn's face darkened: "It's nothing, just pick it up and look at it." After that, he looked at the stone twice, and threw it away, with a faint unwillingness on his face.

Minna was a little uneasy: "Corbyn? ”

"It's nothing, it's really fine." Corbin wiped his face and stood up, "It's almost time, let's go back." ”

By the time they returned to the sea passage, the ebb tide had already begun for a while, and the passage was clearly presented to them. Minna looked back at the top of the sacred mountain a few more times before leaving the island at Corbyn's urging.

When the sun rose, they returned to the ship, and the two crew members who were waiting on the ship were surprised to see that only the two of them had returned, and asked where the old man was.

Minna held the magic lamp in both hands, bowed her head and said, "Grandpa has set off on an adventure, and asked me to go back to Uncle Yutan's house with you." ”

Neither crew member looked good, Ruhl gave up, and the other went back to the helm with a dark face, and did not say hello to Corbyn. Ruhl coughed lightly and forced a smile: "You're tired, aren't you?" Let's go back to the cabin and rest, let's go back. As he spoke, he glanced at Corbyn, who nodded slightly.

Minna didn't notice the interaction between them, and went back to her room on her own, lying in a daze on the bed, crying again, until the afternoon, when she went to the crew room to find something to eat.

As soon as she entered, she saw Corbyn and the unknown crew member sitting across from each other with wide eyes, as if they had just finished arguing. Puzzled, she asked, "What happened?" ”

"It's fine!" Corbin replied quickly, glancing at the companion before smiling at Minna, "Hungry?" I'll bring you some bread. With that, he got up and went to the next storage room. The crew member smiled at Minna and left the activity room. Minna wondered in her heart, is it really okay?

Early the next morning, they returned to the pier in the city of Camica. After Yutan, who got the news, rushed over, he was greatly relieved when he saw Minna: "Why are you so bold kid?!" Actually chased your grandfather?! What if you are in danger at sea? What if you can't get on the boat?! You kid is really ......" He pointed at Minna for a long time and was speechless, and sighed for a long time: "Forget it, you are Xiao's granddaughter, of course you are better than ordinary children, and I don't blame you anymore, but in the future, you should not do such dangerous things again, in case something happens, your grandfather will definitely blame me for not taking a good look at you." ”

Minna's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she lowered her head and said obediently: "I don't dare in the future, I'm sorry." After a pause, she added, "Grandpa is angry with me, and now he is running away to other places to take risks, and he refuses to take me...... He said tell me to come back to you......" She thought about these words several times on the way, but at this moment, she still blushed a little.

You Tan was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Your grandfather still has this temper, if you want to do something, you have to do it immediately, in fact, he can send you home first...... Forget it, since he entrusted you to me, I can't live up to his trust. You stay at my house for a few days, and I'll arrange a boat to take you home. ”

Minna bowed to him, "Thank you, Uncle Yutan. With a nonchalant wave of his hand, Yutan asked her to go with him, and at the same time instructed his men to pay the crew as a reward for escorting Minna back, and he also instructed each of them to add an extra silver coin.

Back at Yutan's house, Sibylla had been waiting for a long time: "Dad, you obviously said you were going to take me out to play, why did it take so long to come back?" Yutan hurriedly coaxed his daughter to talk about it, and promised to buy her a bird made of colored shells, so that Sibylla was coaxed. Minna was bored and yawned slightly.

Yutan immediately realized: "Is Minna sleepy?" Let's go back to the room and rest, I haven't eaten breakfast yet, have I? I'll have someone send it. ”

Minna nodded, said goodbye to his father and daughter, and turned to go to her room.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from outside the door, and the first mate he had seen a few days ago broke into the hall and shouted at Yutan with an anxious face: "Boss! Our ship at sea has been detained with cargo on board! ”

You Tan was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" How could it be detained?! ”

The first mate handed over a letter: "All the people on our ship have been driven into the small boat, and it is with great difficulty that we have returned to the port of Matt, and this is the letter they have brought back, and it is said that the people who have detained the ship have written to you. ”

You Tan snatched the letter, opened it and read it, his face was white and blue, blue and black, and his hands trembled slightly: "It's too much...... It's too much! Why are they doing that?! ”

Sibylla asked repeatedly, "What's the matter?" What happened? Father? Father?! ”

But Yutan put away the letter and instructed the housekeeper: "Send the young lady back to the room, and let the nurse wait." For some reason, his eyes drifted in Minna's direction.
