In Sophia's net pocket were four pieces of veal jerky, which were the meat rations given to her in the residence.

There is only one piece of beef jerky the size of two fingers like this, each person per day.

Unexpectedly, Sophia didn't eat it, so she put the beef pieces into her homemade net pocket and soaked the beef in the river water.

The net mouth of the net pocket is round, a little more than one meter in diameter, and the shelf, with bamboo strips, pockets, is made of thin rope. The depth of the net pocket is almost half of Sophia's height.

When she carried the net, Sveek felt funny.

He wanted to help her carry it, Sophia refused, she asked Svek to carry the torch and help her light the way, she said, there are many poisonous snakes on Alcatraz Island, and in the past few days of weeding, Adolphus also complained that he would not die of exhaustion, but would also be killed by poisonous snakes.

When a poisonous snake is found while weeding, Sophia will lead someone to chase and beat the poisonous snake until it is killed, and then bring the dead snake back to the house.

As a result of Adolf's report, Sophia had brought back a total of seven large poisonous snakes, and she seemed not afraid of snakes at all, and she was as excited as a child found a fun toy when she found a snake in the grass.

Tonight, I don't know what she's trying to mess up again.

Where the two of them were, the river meandered through the forest and into the depths of the forest.

Sophia put her net in the middle of the two boulders, and she said, there is a cave here, hidden under the water layer,

The handle that connects the net bag, made of wood, Sophia muttered to herself: just order beef, come and eat, eat it.

She can't be fishing, right?

Whether there are any fish in the river, yes, Schweiker specially observed when he was repairing the bridge, but they are all small groups of fish, and the parade is extremely fast and swishing.

Will it be more than worth the loss to replace the small fish with beef to take the bait?

Three crows suddenly flew overhead, as if frightened by something, and let out a strange croaking sound.

The crow hid in the forest, and in the forest to the west, there was a terrible sound of cracking.

As soon as Svek said what it was, Sophia silenced him.

The terrifying sound of the earth cracking faded away, as if the cracks in the earth were stretching into the distance, and Svek seemed to see the dust rising and the rubble falling into the abyss.

Before he knew it, Svek noticed a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

He found that the light of the torches was as weak and dim as a firefly, and that the darkness around them could give people the illusion of suffocation.

Only the phosphorus water of the river can bring some calm to Svecker.

He didn't want to stay here, and Sophia seemed to see Sveker's uneasiness, and put her finger to her lips to silence him, and also to ask him to be patient.

I don't know how long it was, whether it was half an hour, or an hour, or two hours, but Svek found himself forgetting the sense of time all of a sudden.

Sophia's net bag was lifted out of the water.

She struggled and cried out, "Come and help me." ”

Sveek jumped off the riverbed and ran to the rocks, where he helped Sophia lift the net up.

It's heavy in the pocket.

When the net came out of the water, Svecker couldn't help but say, 'Ah, what is this?'

The nets were struggling like baby fish, but their bodies were jet black and black, and their mouths were full of two rows of thin fangs.

"Can you eat a dozen of that!"

Svek asked, and Sophia wiped the beads of sweat from her face: "You can't eat it, it's poisonous." ”

"It's poisonous, and you've sacrificed so much beef jerky. ”

"Their skin is the material used to make magic potions. ”

Svek only understood what was going on, and the day before yesterday, Beechcraft also said that Sophia was drying flower petals at the door, and it turned out that she was really going to make magic potions.

The two walked up the river, and Svek was carrying the net, but he didn't ask what was in the net, but he asked, "What are the effects of the magic potion?"

Sophia was following.

"There are a lot of roles, what do you mean?"

"Whatever, can you give an example, such as a more interesting example. ”

Sophia said casually: "Interesting, of course, magic potions can turn a person into a dog, or it can turn into a frog." ”

Svecker burst out laughing: "Wizard, where did you learn your talent for humor, when I was Mr. Retard?"

Sophia was serious: "If you had to choose a person on the farm to become a dog, who would you think would be the ideal person?"

Svek said: "I see, I think the pseudo-mother is very annoying, so let him become a dog." ”

Sophia: "Your thoughts are in line with mine, thank you for agreeing." ”

Svek originally regarded Sophia's words as an April Fool's joke, but he didn't expect that when Sophia spoke, it didn't look like she was joking.

Svecker stopped and looked back at Sophia.

"Is there anything wrong, Chief Guard?"

"Wizard, you can really turn the pseudo-lady into a dog. ”

"It's a serious topic, I need to joke with you?"

Svek held back for a few seconds.

"Wizard, the depth of this joke is too shallow, can you change it to another one?"

Sophia seriously: "Turning the pseudo-girl into a dog, that's one of our plans." ”

"We??"

"Yes, we need to find the other six scrolls with a dog, and if we do, maybe, we can solve the mystery on Alcatraz. ”

Sveker was truly silent.

"What do you think of a puppet girl?"

"Servant, believer, my most faithful believer, he can do anything for me, that's all, chief guard, what do you not understand? If you sympathize with the puppeteer, you can let someone else take his place, and if you are willing to become a dog, I am willing to fulfill you. ”

Svek suddenly felt goosebumps rise all over his body, and he couldn't talk.

"You're really crazy!

After Svek finished speaking, he turned around and left. Sophia smiled happily.

After returning to his residence, Sveek planted the gadgets in his hand at the door of Sophia's house and left without looking back.

When he walked into his room, the oil lamp was still on, and the captain seemed to be asleep, closed his eyes, heard Sveker's footsteps, opened his eyes, and got up from the bed.

"What are you doing in the forest with the wizard?"

Svecker asked rhetorically, "Sophia said that magic potions can turn a person into a dog, do you believe it?"

The captain was surprised and said, "Of course I believe that when a wizard is unhappy, he will turn people into dogs, cats, frogs or something, what's wrong, what happened?"

The chief of the guard was dumbfounded on the spot.
