The boat moved along the rapids, and from time to time it was swept into the whirlpool, and a reef might as well emerge from the sea, and Minna was in a cold sweat.

She held the wooden oars in her hand, and as soon as she saw the obstacles, she tried her best to avoid them, and as for the whirlpool, it was completely left to Alex, who could take the boat off its original track with a few water or wind magic.

In this way, the boat sailed out of the whirlpool area with great thrill and entered the relatively calm sea. Minna breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that the water was naturally carrying the boat forward, and that she did not need to paddle herself, so she simply threw the oars away, stretched, and lay down on her back.

Alex protested: "Hey, hey, you're crushing my leg." ”

"What's the matter? Anyway, I used to sleep next to your back. Minna waved her hand indifferently and closed her eyes to herself.

Alex resisted the urge to roll his eyes: "How was it the same then?" You used to be a man! ”

Minna frowned and turned her head to look at him: "That's just a disguise, I'm originally a girl, no matter how my appearance changes, I'm still me, what's the difference?" ”

"It's just different for me!" Alex held his breath, "I haven't settled accounts with you yet!" You're obviously a girl, why did you hide it from me for so long? If I hadn't gone to the Elven Forest with you, were you going to leave it alone for the rest of your life?! ”

"Of course not." Minna hurriedly denied, "I like to be a boy when I go out on a mission, because boys have better physical strength, more strength, and more convenient movements." And when I was a boy, I got a lot of guts. I didn't mean to hide it from you, in fact, even in the Security Department, not many people knew that Minter was Minna, and I trusted you to let you know. ”

But Alex was still a little uncomfortable, he thought. Maybe it's because I've always trusted each other, but I've been deceived for so long, and I feel like I've been fooled, right? He asked in a deep voice, "Then Count Xiao is indeed your grandfather?" Are you his granddaughter and not grandson? Who is your father? ”

"My dad is also in the Security Department, and when I get to Merton, I'll introduce you to him." Minna leaned in, "Are you angry? ”

"Not really!" Alex skimmed his head. Seeing her, she seemed to want to continue asking. Busy pointing forward. "Look! There are reefs! ”

Minna quickly turned and sat up. Only to realize that it was just a big fish. Tumbling on the surface of the sea. Bring up a splash of water. All she cares about is the fish. I forgot the original topic.

The flow of water gradually accelerated. But the sea is still very calm. The two of them on the boat were also happy. Let the boat flow with the sea to approach the mainland.

Minna stretched again. Place the paddle on the side. Look up at the sky. Alex saw that she was inclined to lie back on the ground. Busy bending your legs. lest she be crushed again. only to find that she just leaned back a little and looked at the starry sky. Didn't lie down again. I felt a little disappointed again. Minna struggled to identify the constellations in the sky. Determine the location of the ship. After a while, he said happily: "Great! This direction is correct! Just one more day. We'll be able to land! ”

Alex replied lightly: "Hmm." "I don't seem to have any energy. Minna looked back at him suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?" Tired? ”

"I'm fine."

Minna didn't want to say anything, so she had to turn around and look at the sea. After thinking about it, he asked, "Alex, you say... When we go back, will the war be won? ”

"Of course, the fountain of life is already in hand." It's still the same listless tone.

"But—" Minna suddenly felt a little uncertain, "why do I always have some bad premonitions?" Did you say that spring could really restore the Scepter of Light? ”

"Yes, yes. If not, there are still many magic weapons in the Central Holy See, all of which have been handed down from ancient times, as long as they can restore their divine power. What are those monsters? ”

"Really?!" Minna's eyes lit up. He frowned again, "But we only have a bottle of spring water." How can it be enough? ”

Alex chuckled a few times: "Stupid! He touched his bracer and pulled out a bulging leather hydration bag: "Do you know what this is?" ”

Minna was a little puzzled. But when he saw a circle of watermarks on the wooden cork at the mouth of the water bag, his eyes suddenly widened: "Fountain of Life?!" When did you take so much?! ”

"Just when the spring was installed. You've all been paying attention to my hands, and you don't see that there's a water bag under my robe, which can be done with just a little water-based magic. It's not light, the queen can't find out, and even if she does, she'll think I'm using magic to put spring water into the bottle. Alex smiled and stuffed the hydration bag back into the bracers, "There's more to it than you see, it's enough to restore the strength of seven or eight magic weapons." ”

Minna was stunned, but always felt a little uncomfortable: "Doesn't that seem like this, right?" We had permission from the Elven Queen, so why were we sneaking around like this? ”

Alex sneered: "It's just that the spring water happens to be located in the territory of the elves, who said that it must belong to them?" They want to use the spring water to increase their power, and that's okay, but it's too much to monopolize! And it behaved as if it were a great gift. If it weren't for us, they wouldn't have known there was this spring! ”

Minna lowered her head and didn't speak, and it took a long time for a sentence to come out: "I still don't think it's good to do this..."

"What's so bad? We humans need these springs more than they do, but the elves only intend to use it for drinking, so as to increase their ability to grow flowers and grass. Instead of wasting it on them, let's destroy the monsters! Alex didn't have a good impression of the elves, "It's inconvenient for me to say anything there, and I don't have any scruples about it now." Those elves, all with eyes on the top of their heads, in fact, apart from longevity, what is superior to us humans? The half-elves are obviously their relatives, but they always suffer injustice! That kid named Xiaola, is it your uncle? I don't know how old he is, but no matter how you look at it, he's a child who needs to be cared for by his mother! They left him alone at the edge of the forest, and then forced him to be separated from his mother, who agreed. I can't understand what the creatures of this race are thinking?! Even animals don't treat their offspring so coldly! ”

Minna was startled, but she agreed with him a little: "That's right." Little La is really pitiful, he has always been lonely. If it weren't for the elven forest being too difficult to enter, I would have wanted to visit him more. When my grandfather took me there, I wanted to see her, but the elves wouldn't let them know each other anyway..."She still remembers when she left the forest with her grandfather, and she climbed a tree to see them from afar.

After thinking about it, she sighed: "Why do elves always hate humans? I've heard that humans have done bad things to them before, but not everyone is like that. My grandfather helped them a lot, but they still didn't give them a good face. Grandpa couldn't stand it either. before they left the ground, but they blamed Grandpa..."

Alex vaguely guessed something, and raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself that the epic hero seemed to have a lot of unknown things. However, he was not interested in digging people**, he just said: "Anyway, the elf race is too far from the kind and beautiful elves in ancient mythology, I don't know if it is because of the long-term isolation relationship, they only have the inferior nature of arrogance." The so-called hatred between humans and elves. I don't know that the human beings who have lasted for hundreds and thousands of years and hurt them have long since died. But they only see humanity as a whole and keep hatred in mind. In fact, how many people on the continent still know about their existence? Even children who love fantasy think of them as a race of myths and legends. This time, they further blocked themselves, but they were afraid that it would not be long before the elves would completely disappear into the continent. ”

Minna nodded as if she didn't understand. He added: "My grandfather said that those who are not of my race will have different hearts, which means that if different races live together, there will be conflicts. Is it the same with elves and humans? ”

"Did Count Xiao say that?" Alex smiled, "What an epic hero." This sentence made him change his mind about the legend a little. It seems that the other side is not a reckless man who is completely ignorant of politics: "It is easy to have conflicts not only between races, but also between countries. It's like people from different walks of life living together, and there will always be conflicts because of all kinds of differences. Everyone will think that what they approve is right, and for people who are different from their own practices, they will have a kind of abnormal thinking, and after a long time, it is easy to have conflicts. ”

"Country to country—" Minna thought for herself as she remembered everything about Noga. At the time, she couldn't understand Jada's intention to invade other countries, but Jeda was convinced that she was doing the right thing. It's also because they come from different countries. Therefore, "their hearts shall be different"?

She glanced at Alex a few times, hesitating to ask him if she should ask him. Alex seems to know this. But if you tell him. Will he answer as patiently as Mallory does?

Alex sensed her hesitation: "What's wrong?" If you have something to say, say it. ”

Minna thought about it, but still told him what happened, and by the way, told him what happened during the peace talks between the two countries, and asked: "You say, I don't like the ideas of those nobles, is it because I am from a different class from them?" ”

"You idiot!" Alex yelled, "Do you think there will be any real friends in politics? Even if the two countries form an alliance, it will only be to fight against Warcraft. When the monster disappears, Nuojia will definitely not give up invading East if he has the opportunity! So, in essence it's still the enemy, understand?! ”

Minna shrunk her neck: "Oh..."

She understood a little bit of that. I don't want to deceive the Nogar because I think of them as friends, but if they're still enemies, then you don't have to think about it so much...

In Minna's mind, the treatment of "enemies" and "friends" is completely different.

When Alex saw her like this, he was a little discouraged: "A child like you, if you don't understand politics, don't do this." ”

Minna was not convinced: "I'm not a child anymore!" ”

"But your thoughts are as innocent as a child!" Alex glared at her, "Politics is such a thing, unless you stay away, you still have to understand a little bit." As for whether or not to learn from others, that's your freedom. Those aristocrats aren't a good thing anyway, as long as you don't be stupid. ”

Minna pursed her lips, suddenly smiled again, leaned up to Alex, and blinked: "Then you teach me?" ”

Alex glanced at her, his eyebrows raised slightly, "Are you okay?" Small—female—child—"

Minna sat back angrily, turned her head and grimaced: "If you don't teach, you won't teach!" Who is the Han? With that, he lay down on his back, pressed Alex's leg hard, and hit it a few times.

"Hey, hey! It hurts! Alex protested, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

In fact, it is also a happy thing to not understand those dirty things.

By the evening of the next day, they could already see the land in front of them, and their spirits were lifted. Minna had long forgotten about last night's unpleasantness, and happily turned back to Alex and said, "Look, we're about to land!" ”

Alex smiled and nodded, reminding her, "Don't forget the coral reef by the sea, this is the Bay of Return." ”

"Ahh Minna suddenly remembered, looked back at the faint red in the water in front of her, and was a little worried, "Why don't we swim over?" The boat will definitely crash. Alex raised an eyebrow: "You're going to swim in this kind of place?" ”

Minna listened, looked at the deep seawater, shivered, and hesitated a little: "Then what should I do?" ”

Alex recited a spell and said, "Remember, this is a water magic, and when the ship hits the reef, you can recite this spell with me, and we will land safely." Convinced, Minna memorized the spell and pulled out her wand.

Seeing that the current was getting faster and faster, the boat rushed straight to the shore, and after a while, the bottom of the boat suddenly shook, and a crack was opened, and the icy sea water poured in.

Alex yelled, "It's now!" Minna hurriedly chanted a spell to the surface of the water, only to see a row of large waves rising from the surface of the sea and lifting the boat into the air. Minna screamed, only to feel that she was rolling in the air a few times, her face was covered with water, the corners of Alex's robe shook in front of her eyes, and the beach on the shore suddenly appeared in front of her, she quickly adjusted her limbs, and after landing on the ground, she fought a few heels to stabilize her body.

Looking back and seeing Alex standing calmly on the beach, using a few cleaning spells on herself, she couldn't help but shout, "This is what you call a safe landing?!" ”

"Do you feel insecure?" Alex smiled at her and looked around, "This is really Easter, let's find a place to find the news, I don't know what the current battle situation is." ”

(Finish.) Sleepy... ）
