Chapter 7: Yaren Village
"Wow~ It turns out that looking down on the earth from the sky is like this~" The size of the phoenix in this world is similar to that of the eagle owl, but the phoenix transformed by Lyle is bigger than Serzewyd, and it steadily carries more than a dozen children to spread their wings and soar.
"Don't make a fuss, you're not Muggles." Listening to the squeaky chatter of the friends on his back, Lyle didn't have a good breath, "According to your current learning attitude, it is estimated that it is a bit difficult to master flying magic, but you can fly by riding a magic broom or riding a flying carpet, and one day you will become accustomed to this scene in front of you." β
Thea muttered to herself, half wistfully, half wistfully, "Magic broom...... I heard it's a bit expensive. β
The flying carpet is not a native European alchemical item, even in the wizarding world of Paris, it is difficult to find, and the actual price is much more expensive than a magic broom, but the country girl does not know.
Lyle smiled, "What are you talking about, have you forgotten what my family does?" When I learn how to make a magic broom, I'll give one to me as a birthday present. β
"Well~Then I'm looking forward to it~" It's not greedy for money, Xiya is just looking forward to her little friend learning this craft.
The real greed for money is Sakiya: "When the time comes, you make magic brooms in batches, and I sell them all over the world as a traveling merchant, how about splitting the account fifty-fifty?" β
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in Kim Gallon." A man who knows alchemy, he speaks so confidently, "Anyway, if you want Jin Galleon, you can come and be my maid, and the salary will definitely satisfy you." β
"Really? I'm not a cheap girl~" Sakiya's eyes lit up for a while, and finally resisted the desire, "...... No, I still like to travel around and see the world. β
"The two are not in conflict." Traveling to see the world is not Lyle's life goal, but it is still one of his low-ranking interests, of course, this is the case of traveling alone, if you travel with a maid, it can be used as the third interest, "The outside world is not as safe as in the village, dark wizards are rampant, Muggle hunting wizards, we travel together, I can protect you." β
"Protect me......" The girl who was a fan of money blushed.
"βyes, the maid's persuasion ends here." The topic is getting more and more distracted, and Alyssa can only interrupt with words, "Don't forget that we are preparing a birthday present from Lord Selzewyd, just flying around the sky will not be inspiring, we have to find a place to land, Lyle, do you have any recommendations?" β
"Regular attractions include forests, lakes, waterfalls, deserts, snow-capped mountains, caves, and the most visually striking of them are deserts and snow-capped mountains." Lyle thought for a moment and added, "The unconventional attractions are the four major temples and the villages inhabited by the subhumans, so I personally don't recommend it." β
The four major temples are obviously involved in the unique seasonal terrain on the outskirts of Xiares Village, and he has no intention of destroying such an interesting suburban environment, and has been acting cautiously when exploring the four temples to prevent affecting their functions, but if the friends really run in, maybe someone will touch the mechanism with their hands and feet.
The inhabitants of the subhuman village are hostile to humans, and it is estimated that only Pelusha of the fish-man and Tona of unknown ethnicity but certainly not human (pointy-eared) will not be kicked out.
"The ??? of the sub-inhabited village" The children said in unison.
Lyle asked curiously, "Huh?" Don't you know that there is a small village in the corner of the desert? β
"No...... All we know is the Temple. "Even the granddaughter of the village chief, not to mention the other children.
By the way, the village chief and the old witch of the potion shop are aware of the existence of the subhuman village, but they usually don't tell anyone else, let alone a child who is not good at keeping secrets.
"Let's go to the Asian village, Lets-go!" Pelusa stretched out her hand and pointed ahead, and said loudly.
Sakuya didn't know where to take out a paper fan and slapped his friend's head, pointing in the opposite direction: "The front is the east, okay, you road idiot." β
Peluxia touched the back of her head and smirked: "Eh, hey, hey~ My sense of direction underwater can't bring it to the sky." β
"Hey, didn't you hear that? I don't recommend going there, you'll be kicked out...... They hate humans. "Lyle has had a history of being evicted.
Of course, he turned his head and ran in stealthily, and even slipped in the tent of the village chief to take a look.
"Then it's even more necessary to go and see it, isn't it~ Xiya." Alyssa smiled and consulted the village chief's granddaughter.
Thea nodded, hearing that the other party hated humans, her first reaction was to resolve the hatred, and even the birthday gift of Selzewed was secondary: "Lyle, can you please take us over?" I'd like to talk to the subhumans. β
ββ¦β¦ Well, well, it looks like it's just going to be a bitter trick. β
γγγγγγ
The ruler of this area is Selzewed, a giant dragon who, from a racial standpoint, should only have the prejudice of 'dragons' and 'non-dragons', not 'humans' and 'sub-humans'.
Originally, the village of Siarreth was a village where humans and subhumans coexisted, but in the distant past, when even the village elder and grandfather who were about to die did not know, humans and subhumans had a conflict that even Selzewed could not resolve, and as a result, the superior human wizard drove the subhumans out of the village, and the Asians arrived in the desert oasis to settle under the guidance of Selzewed.
The area of the desert formed by the magic applied to the temple is not too large, but counting the monsters in it, it is enough to serve as a barrier separating humans from subhumans, and they can live their own lives.
Over time, the human side gradually forgets history, while the Asian side still inherits the resentment of their ancestors...... However, it is only the level of ethnic culture, and none of the successive village chiefs of the sub-people has formed troops to attack the villagers of Xiares Village, and they have basic moral integrity.
(babbleββ! οΌ
"...... was the voice?" The village chief at the time, Krurufa, and his assistant Ndorufa heard the sharp cry of strange birds and walked out of their tents as soon as possible.
The tiger man child in the village pointed to the sky in the direction of the village entrance and shouted, "Hey, look over there, everyone!" β
"Phoenix, phoenix?!" Ndorufa's eyes widened.
"How is that possible...... Where would there be such a huge phoenix! Krurufa hurriedly ordered, "Everyone quickly find a place to hide!" β
Compared to the giant version of the phoenix, the first to arrive was a group of human children (including two subhumans) who had fled into the wilderness, and it seemed that this group of children provoked the phoenix and ran in the direction of the village in a panic.
As for why this group of children appeared in the desert, it is possible that the little boy who went to the village last month to mistreat led the way.
"Boys, come this way! Hide in your tents! "At this time, Krurufa didn't say anything like 'we don't welcome humans', picked up his staff and rushed out of the village, shooting an ice bomb at the phoenix.
οΌFus-Ro-DahοΌ The phoenix let out a strange roar, and a wave of force swept back with ice bullets.
βοΌβ Krurufa subconsciously closed his eyes, only to find that he was not harmed.
It turned out that it was Ndorufa who cast the defensive magic in time: "It's okay, Krurufa. β
"Ah...... saved. Krurufa gathered his magic and prepared to cast a high magic, "Ndorufa, help me buy some time!" β
