Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Necklace of the Call
The cool morning breeze rustles through the trees. A calm night, nothing happened.
It wasn't quite dawn yet, but she didn't feel sleepy, and Angel, who was half leaning out of her sleeping bag, looked through the tent and looked at the bonfire burning outside, she knew that someone had woken up. I got dressed, briefly combed and walked out of the tent.
"It's so fragrant!" An Jie'er sighed as she smelled the food in the air, and then saw the person sitting on the stone bench next to her, "Huh, why are you so early?"
"Well, I couldn't sleep, so I cooked breakfast. Help me see if it's cooked. Lista looked up and replied lightly. There's no way, his cold personality hasn't been formed recently, he has been like this since he was a child, and it's difficult to change it in a short period of time. "The others haven't woken up yet, let them sleep a little longer!"
"We've been together for so long, and it's the first time you've cooked! Angela laughed, walked to the twenty-liter stew pot on the bonfire, lifted the lid, picked up the spoon, presented a spoonful, and said in surprise, "Yam stewed pheasant? How can there be yam this season? It's only June!"
Angel used to be a doctor, so she knew the herbs well, and normally it would not have been possible to have fresh yams during this season, but only dried goods that had been dried and watered.
"Before you woke up, I went out hunting, and when I saw a yam seedling, I used wood elemental magic to make it grow faster. Lista replied lightly, as if to say something insignificant.
"I see, I said!" An Jie'er made the first move, tasted the soup, and immediately felt the rich gravy mixed with the unique sweetness of the yam moistened her throat, "Well! This taste, it's amazing! Hehe, everyone has a good day today." ”
Angel hurriedly brought the pot off the campfire, and then found that Lista was busy with something in her hand, and leaned in with some curiosity. "What is this?"
A blue flame erupted from between Lista's right fingers, burning a silvery-white wire two millimeters in diameter into crimson, then forging it into a small elliptical ring. Hundreds of small rings are connected to each other to form a long chain.
"I've heard Aisha say before that you want a weapon, but I don't have a suitable weapon for you at the moment, so I'll use this spare time to make one for you. It's not a weapon, but it's a great way to improve your strength. Lista did her job very carefully, checking that each ring was the same size and that it was securely attached.
"Is it for me?" An Jie'er was overjoyed, she didn't expect that she just said a complaining word at that time, and she really got a response. Although it would soon be completed, she couldn't help but ask with curiosity, "What is this?"
"I gave it a name called the 'Necklace of the Call', and of course, if you don't like the name, you can think of one. As for the effect, it increases your elemental abilities and reduces the channeling time when using magic. But this is only a support item, and whether the magic used is strong or not depends on your skill proficiency and mental power. With this pendant, the release of magic skills will be faster, but at the same time, the consumption of mental power will be faster. Therefore, in order to fully control this necklace, it will take some exercise. Lista explained lightly.
"'Necklace of the Call', the name is very poetic! Angel put her fingertips on her chin and nodded, "Does the name mean anything?"
"Of course, your ability is inclined to heal, awakening seriously injured companions and healing their wounds, and that's exactly what it means. Of course, you can use it in combat if you want to. ”
"Well, I'll do my best, and I won't disappoint everyone. Angela made up her mind that she would work harder in her future practice, and she would never be lazy again, just like Aisha. Because she didn't want to see any of her companions fall in front of her first.
The morning sun rises, the birds in the forest play and play, their voices are singing, the breeze is blowing, everything is so calm, as if this is the whole world. But is that really the case? Maybe it's only in this sparsely populated place that it can really be called a paradise!
Everyone woke up from their sleep one after another, their eyes were hazy, they stretched their waists, yawned, dispelled the gloom of yesterday, and welcomed the morning light of the new day.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled and said hello. Angel beckoned everyone and began to eat breakfast, and the bonfire could be extinguished.
"As soon as I got up, a beautiful woman handed me breakfast. Oh, I was able to live such a good life, I was really willing to die. Jace was still the same, as if he didn't feel comfortable without a few jokes.
Neumie glared at Jace. An Jie'er didn't care, it's not the first time that this guy has a poor mouth, so let him go.
"Hey, there's peaches here. "It's as if Aisha has discovered a new world. It's no wonder that since she was rescued, this is the first time she has seen Peaches, and she can't help but call out.
"There are a lot of peach trees in the wild, and now is the season when peaches are ripe, so I picked some when I went out and ate them on the way. Lista continued his work, as if he didn't want to eat.
"Brother, aren't you going to eat breakfast?" Aisha asked, worried that Lista's body would starve if she continued like this.
"It's okay, I have dry food. As he spoke, he took out a roasted whitebait from the void and handed it to Tinker Bell, who was meowing on the side.
"How can this work? This meal was carefully prepared by you, if you don't eat it, then what's the point of everyone eating it?" An Jie'er handed the bowl to Lista that was slowly presented, "Work is put aside for a while, we are a big family, of course it is interesting to eat together." ”
"yes, Brother Tar, don't always be too yourself. Aisha agrees with Angel. No matter how important your work is, you must take care of your stomach first!
"Well, in that case, we'll be leaving a little later. "It's all on the lips, and Lista can't excuse it anymore.
Happy morning, everyone talked and laughed. After breakfast, they packed their bags.
Jace tried to start the locomotive, but tried several times, but it didn't work, "Hey, this guy, he's a temperant, see how I clean you up." ”
"What's the matter, something is wrong with this big guy?" asked Suke, who didn't know anything about mechanics, looked at Jace's depressed expression.
"It's okay, it's just a glitch, it's going to be fixed soon. Jace pulled the wrench out of the toolbox, opened the hood, and drilled his entire upper body inside.
Suke looked at Jace's appearance, a little funny, laughed dryly, didn't ask anything more, and walked towards Lista, he was very interested in the flame used by Lista, "Why is the color of your flame blue?"
"The higher the temperature of the flame, the lighter the color, and if you raise the temperature by one more stage, it will become a blazing white. Lista explained lightly, but the work in hand was non-stop, "The process from quantitative change to qualitative change of elements is very long for many people, and some people can't even break through it in a lifetime. ”
"Sounds like a great thing!" Su Ke scratched his head, he understood the first half of the sentence, but he didn't understand the second half of the sentence, "You can teach me, right?"
"There is no skill in this, when your strength is upgraded by another level, it will naturally be. You're practicing Flame Mastery, so I guess that's not going to bother you. Lista took out a notebook and handed it to Suke, "You can take a look at this first! ”
Suke took the notebook and flipped to the first page, which recorded the use of various special fire magic, "The Fire of Punishment has great damage to living beings, but it has no effect on non-living beings; Flames that can not be extinguished if they are completely burned out or ignited, Burning Wildfire, which is extremely hot and spreads very fast, will instantly turn all combustibles it can reach into ashes, which is one of the most terrifying magic in the era of magic wars, and Hellfire, the flame that burns the soul, will completely retain the caster's body without being destroyed, burning the soul and turning it into an empty shell. These are creepy just to look at. ”
"These are ancient magics, turned into war. You can keep it! Maybe it will be useful. Lista set a prismatic emerald about four centimeters long and one centimeter thick into the pendant and examined it.
"It's finally done, give it a try. Lista handed the pendant to Angel.
Angel excitedly took the pendant of the call, feeling the silver light and the dazzling color of the emeralds all over her body, and for some reason, she felt a feeling of her heart beating faster. No way, maybe women are born to resist this kind of crystal clear and sparkling thing.
The other two girls also came close, their eyes glowing with a burning light, and they couldn't put down the pendant.
Angel put the pendant around her neck and began to channel the water element, while the entire necklace glowed blue. An Jie'er found that the speed at which she extracted the water element from the air was more than twice as fast, which immediately made her very happy, but in the next second, she felt a wave of dizziness, and the consumption of mental power was too rapid, making her unable to adapt in a short time.
"What's wrong with you, are you alright?" asked Neume eagerly as she stumbled as she watched Angel's body stumble.
"It's okay, I just haven't gotten used to it yet. She calmed down the joy in her heart and said, "Great, I can use magic more easily in the future." ”
"Alright, let's go see how Jace is doing. Lista patted Suke, who was still looking at his notebook, and beckoned everyone.
"The oil inlet hole is blocked, it seems that the air inlet adjustment bolt is loose, so that the air intake is too small, resulting in insufficient diesel combustion and carbon particles, blocking the oil hole." ”
Naturally, other people don't understand Jace's professional theory, maybe the well-informed Lista will understand some, but it's useless, and by the time Jace repairs the locomotive, it's already half an hour later.
Jace smiled and wiped his face, which turned out to be completely black.
"It's dirty, go wash your face. Newmay handed Jace a towel and said angrily.
"You don't understand, the smell of gunpowder and engine oil is the romance of men. Jace took the towel, went to the river to wash his face, and when he returned, he started the locomotive and the group of six set out on the journey again.
