Chapter 8: Mage Island
Ale. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Bronze Hammer followed the merchant ships of the Lion King Mercenary Group on the sea for two days. At the beginning of the first day, the bronze hammer that had stepped out of the tribe for the first time in his life and saw the sea for the first time in his life was very excited, and he carried a pig's head hammer on the deck and smashed the air like crazy. Sturt and the others turned a blind eye, as if everything was so reasonable.
At noon, the copper hammer sat on the deck, still carrying the pig's head hammer in his right hand, and his chin in his left hand as if looking into the distance. Looking at it from afar, it looks like a large dumbbell standing diagonally on the deck, intoxicated by the blue sea and blue sky.
In the afternoon, the brass hammer sitting on the deck stared carefully at the pig's head hammer......
When the sun was about to set, the copper hammer, which had been sitting on the deck for a day, slammed his head into the pig's head hammer with his head.
"Knock"
Listening to the dull sound coming from the deck, Sturt couldn't help but smile wryly and said to the other mercenaries, "This rookie ...... After a day of madness, we will probably be fine tomorrow, we will probably arrive at Mage Island tomorrow evening, Sean, you go and accompany our dwarf brothers, there must be no mistakes in this mission!"
"No problem, Captain Sturt. Sean said.
After going crazy, the copper hammer slowly calmed down, and lay on the deck on all fours, still holding the pig's head hammer in his right hand, and stuffing the food sent by Sean into his mouth with his left hand, pouring beer into his mouth like swill from time to time. Looking at the stars in the sky and listening to the sound of the waves around him, the first day of the Bronze Hammer's voyage passed in his sleep.
In Sean's company, the copper hammer is not particularly boring, but he has asked Sean more than once when he will be able to dock, and constantly insisted: "As a dwarf, you can't float on the sea for a long time, which is very unlucky." Because our dwarves are all made of stones, and if they have been floating on the sea for a long time, they will 'sink into the sea'!"
And Sean stomped his feet, patted his chest, swore to the sky, and pulled the hook more than once, saying that he would dock in the evening, hoping that the future mercenary king and dwarf king Lord Bronze Hammer could calm down and persevere, for the tribulation brought by this voyage, we must believe that this is a good thing and a lot of hardships, and this is the tribulation that must be experienced before all success......
"Also, Brother Bronze Hammer, this is your first time going to Mage Island, and when you arrive at Mage Island in the evening, you will definitely be shocked. Six years ago, the former legend of Mage Island passed away, and I came once with the captain's team, and it was the first time I saw it at that time, and I still can't forget the shocking feeling!" Sean said to Bronze Hammer.
The copper hammer is not Sean, I don't know how Sean said the shocking feeling was bringed, but I compared my heart to my heart, and the picture of letting myself be shocked slowly appeared in my mind...... The cone-shaped Mage Island reaches into the sky, the tip of the island is constantly gushing out of the ale brewed by the tribe's iron bucket aunts, halfway up the mountain is boundless barbecue and bread, and at the foot of the mountain are countless dwarf sisters wielding pig's head hammers to release magic, appearing in the sky "Welcome to Mage Island".
Looking at the bronze hammer with a serious face and looking forward to the "shocking" scene of Mage Island, Sean felt that something seemed to be wrong while satisfying his insight to "shock" others.
Afterwards, the bronze hammer asked, "Is it true that Mage Island also drinks ale?"
Sean: "Aha?"
Brass Hammer: "How ripe is the barbecue on the mountainside?"
Sean: "......"
Brass hammer: "Medium-rare is my favorite food, and medium-rare will be enough, no matter how small the heat is, I won't be shocked!
Looking at the longing copper hammer, Sean said dryly, "...... Rest assured, the barbecue is medium-rare, and the hoghead hammer on Mage Island is about the same as yours. ”
The bronze hammer said regretfully: "Yes, hey, it's a pity, our tribal elders said that the mother-in-law's weapon cannot be bigger than that of a man, otherwise how can she show her manly spirit! ”
Sean was startled by the dwarf's leaping thoughts, and said with blank eyes, "Ah, there should be a smaller one...... That, Brother Brass Hammer, I have something to do, I'll go back to the room first, it's windy on the deck, don't think too much about it and let the wind blow into the sea. ”
"Tom", the copper hammer slammed the pig's head hammer in his hand to the ground, and said: "It's okay, the copper hammer has a pig's head hammer, and the copper hammer can't blow the pig's head hammer!"
Sean silently recited "black fertilizer black, gray fertilizer gray" and fled back to the room in embarrassment.
Longing for ale, barbecue, and the pig's head hammer of the dwarven sister, the copper hammer sat quietly on the deck and looked ahead, hoping that the ship at his feet would surprise him and let him see the ale that sprayed into the sky in advance......
Sitting on the deck and falling asleep, the bronze hammer dreamed that it was standing at the foot of the mage island, carrying a pig's head hammer in its right hand and ale in its left hand, surrounded by dwarven sisters carrying a small circle of pig's head hammers in their left hands and ale in their right hands, and roasting meat and bread rolling from the mountainside to the bottom of the mountain...... The copper hammer shouted loudly: "Cheers to our shocking mage island!" As the wine was dry, the fountain of ale on the tip of the island suddenly sprayed directly at the copper hammer, drenching the copper hammer all over its body. "The taste is wrong, why is this ale so salty, and so bitter......"
The copper hammer was awakened by the spray of a big wave, although he didn't taste the taste of the ale wine on Mage Island, but invisibly, the copper hammer was looking forward to the "shock" of Mage Island even more.
After waking up, the copper hammer sat on the deck, and found that the sun was gradually approaching the sea level, proving that it was evening, and looking at the scene where the sea and the sky were still in sight, there was no trace of the island at all. "Didn't you say that you could get to Shock Island in the evening, why can't you even see a shadow now? Sean lied to me!"
Just as Hammer was about to settle accounts with Sean, Captain Sturt led the mercenary members to the deck. Sturt smiled and said to Copperhammer: "Copperhammer Brothers woke up just at the right time, we are in front of Mage Island, the first time we come to Mage Island, Copperhammer Brothers should keep their eyes open, after all, this is a miracle created by magic." ”
Without waiting for the copper hammer to speak, Sturt took out a magic scroll and tore it open. After about five minutes, Hammer was shocked to notice an island directly in front of the merchant ship. Spotting an island doesn't really frighten a rough copper hammer, but if the island appears from a bird's-eye view...... It's as if a merchant ship is headfirst down in the sky toward an island.
Mage Island is located below sea level at the outlet of the Gulf of Dromos. Although it is below sea level, it is not just below the sea, if you stand on Mage Island, you can see that the sea around Mage Island is like a wall, as if Mage Island was filled with a glass bottle, and the glass bottle was thrown into the water. But what is surprising is that the surrounding water wall is still rolling. Although it seems to be closed all around, the outside sea breeze can still blow down the surface of the sea to the island. A bird's-eye view of the waters near Mage Island, the location of Mage Island looks like a sinkhole on the sea.
Normally, Mage Island is not open to the public, and unless you have a token of Mage Island or a one-time scroll similar to that used by Sturgeon, you can't enter Mage Island. Of course, it is also possible to break in, and similar things have happened in history, but although the sea wall looks the same as the normal sea surface, it is gentle, but if it does, the forced ship will not stick to the sea wall and sail, but will really fall from the sky, yes, it is a crash.
Sean proudly said to the copper hammer: "Brother Copper Hammer, do you see it, this is the shock I said." According to legend, the mage's holy place was not here many years ago, and I don't know how many legends discovered this place, so they named it Mage Island, and was recognized by all the mages with heads and faces in the Max Continent, so they moved the mage's holy land here. ”
After learning that he was not going to fall from the sky to the ground and fall into a "dwarven cake", Copperhammer's panicked heart calmed down. But then he grimaced again, and muttered, "My ale...... Barbecue...... Dwarven Sister...... The pig's head hammer broke. ”
Sean twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, not knowing what to say. Ster, who was next to him, looked curious, thinking why Mage Island was associated with ale, barbecue, dwarf sister and pig's head hammer, didn't they all say that the dwarves were honest and tendonous, why were the dwarves of their own family so rich, this is the difference between their own dwarves and other people's dwarves?
After sailing on the sea wall for nearly half an hour, the merchant ship finally docked in the harbor of Mage Island. Sturt showed a ring with the Mage Tower logo to the Mage Island members who came to greet him, and said to him, "We are friends with Elder Tham, my name is Stur, and I am on the ship with my companions, and I want to ask Elder Tam for help with something." ”
The members of Mage Island who came to greet him said, "Unfortunately, Elder Tamu traveled three years ago and has not yet returned. ”
Sturt said: "Well, Elder Tam hasn't come back yet, I'm Elder Tam who I met in the Kingdom of Witland two years ago, when Elder Tam said that he would return to Mage Island this year, and the calculation time is probably the most recent time. Maybe we're a little early, you see, we can wait for Elder Tamu to come back on the island. ”
"I'm sorry, I can't call the shots on this, I need to ask the deacon on duty, please wait. The mage then returned the same way with the ring that Sturt had shown.
About half an hour later, the mage returned to the port with a gray-robed mage.
"Distinguished guest, my name is Cowen, Deacon of Mage Island, this ring is the ring worn by Elder Tam with him, you have gained the friendship of the elders of Mage Island, you are our friend of Mage Island, Shami has already told me about your situation, please come with me, I will arrange accommodation for you, but I can only wait for ten days on Mage Island, after all, this is a rule set for countless years, please forgive me. Cowan said.
"No problem, it's really disturbing this time. St said, then waved everyone off the boat and followed Cowan into Mage Island.
