Three days later, Barrett and the others again came to the south of the lake-based village of 'Angsa'.

The low tide has left a mudflat, and some village women and children will pick up stranded razor clams, freshwater clams, mussels, small lake shrimp, and all sorts of unnamed fish in the mud and shallow depressions.

These various varieties of lakes are not uncommon to the villagers of Angsa, they just regard them as a kind of pleasure, one of the few pleasures.

When early summer comes, the mud evaporates a slightly fishy smell under the sunlight. The children carried small baskets made of reeds in their hands, stepped barefoot on the mud, and stared wide to find the "treasures" buried in the mud.

The calluses on the soles of the feet protect against the danger of being scratched by the edges of the mussel shells, and the slippery mud squeezes between the toes of the pairs of small feet, making a "coo" sound.

A little boy dug a large river mussel out of the mud with all his might, but because he used too much force, he sat on the mud with his butt, and the muddy water splashed, and the pleasant laughter came.

"Hey, little ones, get out of here and go somewhere else. The dwarf mage, who had come from afar, shouted to the villagers in the mud, "Every child who leaves can get a handful of candy from me." Wipe your hands clean, I don't care if you get the candy dirty. As for the women, you can go to Felix and get a warm hug, or a kiss, whatever you want, if your husband doesn't mind. ”

"Haha, you have a better sense of humor than I thought. Barrett stood next to the dwarf mage and complimented him with a smile.

"Sense of humor?" Theodore Shining looked up confusedly, "No, I'm not kidding, I'm just stating a fact, aren't these things we agreed on before?"

"Okay, oh, I remember! I thought what you said was just a joke. Barrett chased away a dragonfly that landed on his short hair.

"I'm never joking. The little mage said solemnly.

“...... Well, you're busy, leave me alone. ”

When the children heard the shouting, they all ran over happily. There are also a few little ones who dislike the "treasure" in their hands because they are too heavy, so they do not hesitate to empty the entire basket and run with the empty basket.

Compared to sweet candy, those lakes are worthless in their eyes.

Unfortunately, razor clams and freshwater clams are still delicious, and a simple stir-fry with salt, ginger, red pepper and pepper makes for a delicious dish. Barrett thought as she looked at the shellfish that had been reborn.

It's just that oil is relatively scarce in the village, so the villagers use boiled and barbecued ingredients more often.

Razor clams and freshwater clams, which are simply boiled in water and salt, are also very good, but there is no way to eat them like this. The flesh of the mussel is so tough that it bites like a tan calfskin, and the brute doesn't like it very much.

The children crowded around the dwarf mage, who was about the same size as them, reaching out for candy. The women crowded around Felix, the bard, and begged for "candy".

Barrett looked at the young man surrounded by the opposite sex with some envy, his soft blonde hair swaying in the wind, a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, and a hint of distressing melancholy in his dark blue eyes.

A young and handsome fool that women of every age will love. Some of the elderly women even grabbed the back of Felix's head with their hands and kissed them so hard that Barrett grinned.

The barbarian admired the young bard a little, no matter how old the other party was, whether she was delicate or not, he could treat everyone equally, without a trace of disgust.

Phyllis the parrot flew out of the crowd and landed on Barrett's shoulder, "Alas, ignorant women. If I were human, I wouldn't like Felix. ”

"Why?" Barrett asked, waiting expectantly for the parrot's answer.

It seems that there are still "people" who will know how to appreciate the true charm of men! The barbarian picked on the beauty and puffed up his broad chest.

"Because he is empty here. The parrot tapped Barrett's skull with its wings, "There's nothing in it but the music and the ballads." It was harder to get this young man to think about something complicated than to kill him. ”

“...... Oh. The brute replied with some disappointment. Alas, when will people really understand that face and IQ really don't matter at all to men.

"You like smart men?" he asked boredly.

"It would be better if it could do magic. "I'm a pet after all." ”

"Like Master Theodore?"

"No, he's too old, it's better to be younger. The parrot cocked its long tail feathers with some excitement, "Smart, magical, younger, it doesn't matter if I'm handsome or not, because my aesthetic is different from that of humans." But it must be intellectual, the kind that can explore some of the more esoteric issues. It's better to be stronger, because I'm a demon pet, after all, I have to listen to my master's orders. ”

Barrett turned his head, not wanting to pay attention to this weird parrot with some ~~ spring hair.

After sending the villagers away, Theodore Shingold's robes had a lot of dirty handprints, and Felix's lips were already a little red and swollen.

"Phyllis, Phyllis, how am I doing?" asked the young man's proud parrot.

"Well done. The parrot nodded, "Only you can get them to leave willingly, without looking like we're too arrogant." This place belongs to them after all. ”

"Hey, hey. The young man smiled stupidly, "I can even taste the different tastes in each of their mouths." Lisa ate cheese in the morning, and her mouth was sweet, Orga liked to chew sorrel, and her tongue was sour, which made people feel sour, and Nina ate a few oranges before kissing me, and Martina and Nancy also grabbed a few ......"

"Say no more, I just hope that their husbands won't know about it when they come back. Phyllis the parrot interrupted the young man, "Remember, no matter with whom, you can't go further, you know?"

The young man nodded, "Then if those men knew, would they beat me up like they did in Shamrock City?"

"Will break your ribs again. ”

"Oh, that's fine. The young man smiled silly and patted himself on the shoulder, motioning for the parrot to come back.

This guy really has something wrong with his brain, Barrett said in his heart.

The dwarf mage Theodore ignored the farce as he pulled out a bottle of dark black glittering magic ink from his spatial ring, dragged the ink with his fingers, and began to draw a circle at the border of the mudflats. Theodore is very skilful in his drawing, but he is a little slow.

Every time this little mage paints, he needs to replenish his magic with magic crystals. In a few moments, four or five small pieces of magic crystals the size of plums that had faded all blue had been thrown on the ground around him.

It took the dwarf mage half a day to draw the entire circle.

......The little man sat on the ground and rested for a while, then took out a magic crystal the size of a grapefruit from between his hands and embedded it in the center of the circle.

"A historic moment is coming!" shouted the little man excitedly, "I, Theodore Flash, the master of magic, am finally about to rise!"

Then he began to chant a long, awkward incantation. As the spell progressed, the magic on the central hedron began to spread along the black lines, and the huge magic circle on the ground lit up little by little.

When the last syllable of the mage's mouth dissipated into the air, the entire circle 'snapped' and bloomed with a dazzling blue light, indicating that the nameless circle had been activated.

Immediately afterward, waves invisible to the naked eye emanated from the circle and swung into the distance. The wave lasted for about a few minutes before it stopped, and the next moment, Barrett suddenly felt the entire space tremble inexplicably.

With this tremor, a majestic and majestic magic tower slowly appeared on the surface of the lake not far away. The space around the magic tower was like the surface of the water, rippling layer upon layer, but there were no cracks. When the magic tower fully appeared, the surrounding space returned to its original state without the slightest damage.

This scene couldn't help but reassure Barritt a lot, he was really a little sensitive to things like spatial rifts now.

The main body of the magic tower is a light purple cylindrical shape, and the walls of the tower are covered with jagged dark purple crystals. At the top of the tower stood a strange magical symbol, burning like a flame, surrounded by two concentric rings, one large and one small.

This magic tower is not a solitary tower like a normal magic tower. It is also surrounded by three secondary towers connected by a tower bridge. The overall style of the secondary tower is similar to that of the main tower, except that the magic symbol on the top of the tower is not the same, and it only surrounds a ring.

"This ...... How are we going to get there?" Barrett asked, looking up at the magic tower in mid-air, a little confused.

"It's simple, I have a magic trinket that can use flying, but it can only be applied to myself. The dwarf mage said, "Wait a minute, Phyllis and I will fly over first, and you and Felix will find a boat and row to the bottom of the tower." Then I'll use the key and spell to open the door to the magic tower, and then use the magic rope to pull you two up. ”

"Shall we go straight to the main tower?" Barrett asked again.

"Of course!," said the gnome mage, "as long as we keep the core furnace that powers the entire magic tower under control, the rest will be trivial. ”

......
