Chapter 43: Falling into a Dream

"But alas, this beautiful and mighty insect has become extinct on the island."

The old man's words suddenly felt a little lonely.

Hearing this, Arka hurriedly asked, "Extinct?" Why? ”

Hearing Alka's question, the old man was a little indignant.

However, the voice said with a hint of helplessness: "When you entered the city, did you see the avenue full of flowers?

Many of those flowers were transplanted from other islands, and there were several beautiful ones, but their pollen was deadly to the Golden Horn. ”

"This has caused an imbalance in the ecological environment on the island, but those lords don't care about that."

"Ugh." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Arka could only nod in understanding.

However, he asked, "When did this insect become extinct?" ”

"I guess it was more than 20 years ago."

Hearing this, Alka had a bad premonition in his heart.

Through the treasure information, it can be known that the No. 5 treasure trove is unlocked, and what you may need is this kind of golden horn hammer.

It is not known whether it is symbolic or if a living golden horn is really needed, or if the specimen is still viable.

But in this case, Arka had to prepare in many ways.

He asked after frowning and thinking for a while.

"So are there any other islands besides this one that have a golden horn?"

Seeing that Arka seemed to be genuinely interested in insects, the old man's eyes lit up a little.

Grabbed Kane's wrist directly and walked to the counter inside.

"Come on, I've had an atlas before, and it says there's an island with this."

As he spoke, he pulled Arka and walked inside.

Once at the counter, he rummaged underneath and then put on his gloves and took out a very well-preserved insect illustrated book from a wooden box.

Carefully flipped through it.

Arka saw that the insect images on each page were vividly depicted, just like photographs.

You can see how precious it is.

After turning to the middle, the old man turned the book upside down and pointed to one of them.

"This is it."

Looking at the pictures and text on it, Alka wanted to touch it, but he took it back halfway.

Looking at this action, the old man nodded with more and more satisfaction.

Looking at Alka's eyes, it became more and more pleasing to the eye.

Then he explained: "The golden horn hammer is an insect that is often a collector's item for insect lovers because of its beautiful appearance. ”

"But most enthusiasts want to protect them, and it is documented that this insect exists on the island of Antvos-Armor, which is also a sacred place for insect lovers of all kinds."

"If only I had been younger, the journey on the sea is not for an old fellow like me right now."

Hearing the information he wanted, Arka quickly memorized it in his mind.

Then after chatting with the old man again for a while, he took his leave and left.

Seeing that it was still dusk outside, he continued to wander around as if he were a tourist.

Wandering around, looking at a group of people, it seemed that they were watching something, and Alka, who was a little curious, also looked over.

I saw a man dressed like a clown and slightly exaggerated, performing acrobatics and magic for everyone.

Magic!

Seeing this, Arka couldn't help but walk over and watch.

After watching one, the clown bowed.

Everyone took out some coins and threw them into the box in front of the clown.

Look at the piles of coins in the box.

Alka's eyes lit up slightly.

Some even threw silver snakes into it.

And as far as he is concerned, this clown's magic is like that, he can completely see through all the magic tricks.

Looking at the money, I couldn't help but think.

Due to an accident, he didn't have much money with him.

If you don't have money, it's very bad for his disguise.

Maybe you can do the same yourself.

Speaking of which, since he learned the magic trick, he has never really performed officially to outsiders.

Looking at the clown who left and was about to perform in a different place, Arka also came to a different restaurant to eat.

After eating.

Taking advantage of the afterglow of the sunset, we walked towards the villa on the neat and beautiful stone path.

I just happened to see Mrs. Anda, who was chatting with a group of women, say hello.

After returning to the villa.

After a brief tidying up, I came to my room.

He took the mirror out of the closet once more and placed it next to the bedside table.

While there was still some light outside, he lit the oil lamp.

At this time, Arka felt that the pocket watch that was stuffed in his arms was vibrating slightly.

When I opened it, it was the blue crystal flakes that he had set on the cover.

Immediately squatted down, groped up from under the bed, and took out the robot spider.

"Alka, Alka......"

"I'm here."

"We're ready, we're expected to go to the place you said tomorrow night at 3:00 a.m., would you like to come along?"

Arka pushed open his watch and looked at it.

After calculating tomorrow's itinerary, he replied, "No problem, I will come to meet you tomorrow night." ”

"Okay, that's it, remember to stay safe."

"Hmm."

Later, the spider was tucked back under the bed.

So he sat on the bedside table, looked at the magic mirror on the cabinet, and waited for the night to come.

While waiting, Alka's hands flew up and down, practicing magic, and by the way, practicing the flexibility of his hands.

The full moon hung completely high in the sky.

By this time, the surroundings had long been silent.

Arka looked at the magic mirror without any movement through the open curtains.

He frowned slightly.

I thought about it and put it back in the closet.

Then turn off the oil lamp and go to bed.

After a while, the sound of Arka's even breathing sounded.

Alka in the dark.

A hazy voice from afar was heard.

Subtle as silk, the extremely indistinct sound was like a silk thread, circling around Alka's ears.

"Save ...... Save me, save ......"

In the darkness, Arka heard the faint cry for help, and wanted to open his eyes, move his hands, and twist his body.

But there was no doubt that he couldn't.

The body in the darkness is no longer controlled by its own brain, and its own consciousness and its own sense of touch can still feel its own body.

But it was as if he had lost control.

I could only listen to this cry for help but could not make any response, as if I was still in a deep sleep.

In desperation.

After roughly understanding the cry for help.

Alka had to keep echoing in his head.

"Who are you? Are you trapped in the magic mirror? How can I save you? ”

Three questions kept repeating themselves in my head.

It seems that he really received the information in Alka's head.

The hazy cry for help began to change.

"Magic...... Touch ...... Touch ...... Help....... ”

Various words are repeated and combined in the ear.

Aka is able to understand a little bit of what he wants to say.

It seems that if you want to free it from the magic mirror, you need to have your own magic power to become a toucher.

That's what it means.

"No problem, I'll save you if it works, but can you let me out first, I want to get some good sleep."

This time, he accepted the message that Arka wanted to express, and it became simpler and simpler.

"Okay...... Agreed ......"

"Okay, I made a pact with you that if I could, I would find a way to free you from the magic mirror when I became the toucher."

Arka said with sincerity.

Finally, he seemed to regain control of his body, and he was no longer buried in the darkness, and immediately opened his eyes.

Looking at the room where he was resting by the moonlight.

Immediately get up and light the oil lamp at the head of the bed.

Pull open the cabinet.

Look at the magic mirror that was placed on it like this.

At this time, the pattern on the back of the magic mirror was emitting a faint light, the same as the moonlight outside.
