Chapter 35: Magical Girl?
"Girl, girl?" Ai Li's face was inexplicable, she looked at Duan Xiaofei and said, "Your Highness, where are there girls here?"
"Hey, hey. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Duan Xiaofei pointed to the big dragon in front of him and said, "And he's also a magician." ”
"You...... You're talking nonsense!" the dragon roared suddenly, but his eyes seemed a little evasive.
"Tsk, such a beautiful magician girl, why do you let yourself suffer? Aren't you tired of crawling on the ground like this?" Duan Xiaofei zoomed in on the photo he had just taken, and said, "It seems that you are a magician who can use illusions, and if you want to imitate a dragon, you have to lie on the ground." ”
"Hehe, I said, your animal skin clothes are quite suitable, although it looks a little malnourished, but the figure is good, huh...... Maybe it's because of this posture. ”
Duan Xiaofei kept talking, and the giant dragon was almost going crazy, and under Ellie's stunned reaction, the huge golden dragon suddenly disappeared.
In the middle of the cave, there was only a girl in animal skin, shivering against the corner.
"You, you, don't come here!" the girl clasped her hands to her chest, her eyes full of hostility.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, this is really a fake dragon!" Ellie only now recovered from her shock.
Duan Xiaofei walked into the cave step by step, and came to the thin girl in front of him, he slowly squatted down, and said, "You have hurt us badly enough, in this way, if you tell me what happened, I will let you go." ”
"You...... What do you want to know?" the girl's tone trembled slightly.
"You don't have to be afraid, if I wanted to do something to you, then I would have done it a long time ago, and you would have told me about you, what your name was, why you came to this island, why you pretended to be a dragon. Duan Xiaofei looked away from her so that she felt safer.
Duan Xiaofei turned his back, and Ai Li was still looking at her to prevent her from sneaking away.
The girl hesitated for a moment, but then told everything she had been through.
The girl's name is Xuemeng, the snow of snowflakes, the dream of sweet dreams, what surprised Duan Xiaofei was that Xuemeng's hometown was actually in Hanshui Town, the land of the snowfields in the far north, after Ellie's explanation, Duan Xiaofei also learned that Hanshui Town was a very alternative existence among the two human beings on the mainland.
This is not to say that Hanshui Town belongs to the territory of the Demon Race, but because the geographical location of this town is too far north, only one day's journey from the Far North Ice Field, where there are six months of snow and four months of ice in a year, and there are only two months left to grow any crops.
It was in this extremely severe climate that Xue Meng was born, and at the age when Xue Meng was babbling, she discovered that she had a very strange ability, of course, at that time she didn't know that it was magic.
Xiao Xuemeng can let the people around him see the imagination in his head, if it is placed in the magic system of the Rich Continent, this is a kind of spiritual magic, if it is described in modern terms, it is hypnosis.
Xiao Xuemeng, who has a talent for magic, has naturally become the hope of the whole village, you know, magicians are associated with wealth and nobility in the hearts of everyone on the mainland, if Xiao Xuemeng can come to the southern city and mix up a position in the magic association there, then the poor town will also have hope for revival.
So, when Xue Meng was fifteen years old, she set off by boat with the young people from her village who had gone to the south to seek work.
However, the goddess of luck did not favor this poor girl, and the wooden boat they were riding on suddenly encountered a strong wind and wave when they passed through the sea south of the mainland, and when did the people in the ice field to the north of them come into contact with the sea? After the wooden boat was overturned by the waves, Xuemeng was swept away by the waves, and the other people on the boat ...... Xue Meng didn't know if they were dead or alive, but if they lost their ships in the vast sea, there must be no way to live.
"That's it, I came to this island......" Xue Meng said as she spoke, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, after all, she had experienced such a big storm at a young age, and her heart must be unbearable.
"And then?" Elle listened carefully to Xue Meng's narration, perhaps because of the same girl, she now has no sympathy for Xue Meng.
"Why did you pretend to be a dragon when you came to this island?" Duan Xiaofei asked.
"To stay alive. "I was washed ashore by the sea, and when I woke up, I was tied to the village of the indigenous people. ”
"Oh, you were also tied up by them?" Duan Xiaofei said.
"Hmm. Xue Meng nodded and said, "But they didn't make any trouble for me, and even gave me all kinds of fruits to eat." ”
"Your Highness, Xue Meng, like us, was arrested by the natives, but was well entertained. Elle said.
"Later I learned that it was a festival on the island, and they needed to send sacrifices to the island's patron saint. Xue Meng continued, "And I was treated as a sacrifice by them. ”
"Didn't they think you were a real dragon now, and which god were they worshipping at that time?" Duan Xiaofei asked.
"It's a golden dragon, and the golden dragon has always lived on the island, and these natives have made the dragon their god. ”
"Treat a dragon as your own god, won't the dragon eat them?" Duan Xiaofei said.
"Your Highness, real dragons have a high level of intelligence, even ordinary humans can't compare, and this dragon must also like to be worshiped by humans. Ellie explained.
"Enjoy being worshipped? This dragon is really funny, can it be that being worshiped by others can still prolong your life?" Duan Xiaofei pursed his lips, speechless at the golden dragon's fetish.
"So did you see the dragon?" asked Ellie.
"Nope. Xue Meng shook her head, but immediately nodded again and said, "I see." ”
"Did you see it or not?" Duan Xiaofei asked when he saw that she shook her head and nodded.
"Actually, when I was sent to the cave, all I saw was a pile of bones. Xue Meng said.
"Bones?, this dragon has eaten people before?!" Ellie said nervously.
"No, what I saw was a dragon's bones. ”
"Dragon bones?" Duan Xiaofei said in surprise, "That dragon is already dead and only bones remain?"
"Hmm. Xue Meng nodded, "After knowing that the dragon was dead, I began to use my magic to pretend to be a dragon, usually scaring and scaring the natives, making them think that the dragon was still alive, and every few days they would send me various fruits. ”
"......I see," Duan Xiaofei was stunned, and then asked, "It seems that you are lucky, if the dragon did not die, you are afraid that you have already become the dragon's dinner, but how long have you been here, why didn't you try to go back?"
"It's been 365 days, and I've been making a mark on the wall every day, and it's been exactly one year, and today is the biggest celebration of the year for the island's natives, and you just happened to come across it. Xue Meng said, her expression became sad again, she said, "How could I not have tried to go back, but, but I have lived in Cold Water Town since I was a child, where there is only a small river that is just big enough for a small boat to travel, and it is only passable for three or four months a year, I am not familiar with the water at all, how can I leave the island?"
"Hmm...... Even if you're good at the water, you won't be able to swim across the ocean. Duan Xiaofei pinched his chin and thought.
After a few minutes, he suddenly slapped his palms and said, "Xuemeng, if you cooperate with me, I have a way to leave the island and return to the land." ”
