..................

West of England City, in front of Gandalf's Wizard Shop.

Vivian, who was wearing a wizard's robe, pulled the big hat on her head and looked around sneakily, looking like she was a thief, but Xia Zuo, who was beside her, was much calmer.

Xia Zuo was wearing a fat black robe, and his hat was buttoned on his head, in fact, not all wizards would wear wizard robes in their daily lives, so Xia Zuo's outfit at this time would not have a problem entering the wizard shop, and he was not afraid of outsiders seeing it.

"Don't look at it, open the door!" Xia Zuo stabbed Vivien and whispered.

The more careful Vivien is, the easier it is for people to see that something is wrong, and if she puts on a normal appearance, no one will suspect her.

Ten fingers of both hands clasped, fists clenched in front of her chest, Vivien lowered her head and recited the incantation, after a flash of light on the door of the store, Vivien took out a bunch of keys from her arms, quickly opened the lock on the door, and walked in with Xia Zuo, and then immediately closed the door again.

Vivien breathed a sigh of relief and muttered quietly, "If Solina is told, I'll be dead." ”

"What are you afraid of? she can still eat you?" Xia Zuo said casually, his eyes scanning the layout of the wizard's shop.

The interior of Gandalf's wizarding shop is roughly divided into two parts, on the left side are some hangers with Linglang's dazzling clothes, including robes, hats, gloves, etc., and on the right side of the room, there is a circular counter with various potions, magic products, etc.

"Don't look at it, follow me!" Vivien was so anxious that she didn't dare to let Xia Zuo stay here for too long, so she pulled Xia Zuo and ran towards the store.

After passing through a corridor that was not long or short, the two entered the innermost room of the wizard's shop, which was much more chaotic than the outside, with a lot of messy things piled up in the corner, various plants planted by the window, and a lot of wooden cages under the wall on the north side of the room, which contained all kinds of small animals, which seemed to be asleep, curled up with their eyes closed, motionless.

"That's the Alchemy Beast. Vivien led Xia Zuo to the cage and pointed to the cage at the very corner.

Xia Zuo looked down, the alchemy beast did look very much like a mouse, but it was a big mouse, unlike the mouse, the alchemy beast had a black protruding horn along the back of the backbone, in addition, the alchemy beast also had four front legs, two more than the mouse, and the claws were a little large, which looked very sharp.

The alchemist in the cage seemed to be sleeping, and even though Vivien and Xia Zuo made some noises, it didn't sleep.

"It's weird, where is the magic mirror?" Xia Zuo muttered, turned his head and asked.

"Here!" Vivien walked over to the south wall, ripping the black cloth from the covering object, revealing the mirror below.

A large mirror, nearly one person high, is oval, and the frame of the mirror is also depicted with ancient patterns, which looks like a very ancient thing, and even the mirror is gray, not bright, barely able to reflect the human figure, and cannot be used as a mirror in daily life at all.

"That's what it is...... Magic Mirror?" Xia Zuo walked over, reaching out to touch it.

Vivian immediately grabbed Xia Zuo's arm, shook her head at Xia Zuo, and said softly, "Don't touch it, you can't touch it." ”

"That's it, good!" Xia Zuo immediately withdrew his hand, Vivian said that he couldn't touch it, he naturally wouldn't touch it again, not how much he listened to Vivian's words, but that wizards' things really can't be touched, maybe something will happen.

Vivian was relieved to see that Xia Zuo was not messing around, and let Xia Zuo stand farther away, while she walked to the position facing the magic mirror, crossed her fingers again, put on a prayer posture, and lowered her head to recite the incantation.

"Magic Mirror Magic Mirror ......" In addition to the first two words, Xia Zuo can understand it, and the back is a strange syllable that is awkward, which is a wizard language, and Xia Zuo can't understand it at all.

With Vivien's voice, the hazy surface of the magic mirror gradually lit up with a faint halo, and a green picture appeared inside, it was a forest.

"Let's go, let's go inside!" Vivien took Xia Zuo's hand and stepped into the magic mirror with her legs.

Xia Zuo's eyes were surprised, and as Vivien walked in, her body seemed to enter chaos as she passed through the mirror.

......

Forest, birds singing and flowers.

It is a vast forest, with tall trees, extremely lush canopy and foliage, almost obscuring the sky, birds chirping in the trees, monkeys clutching vines and flipping and jumping, little rabbits jumping and jumping in search of food, and the whole forest is full of life.

A towering ancient tree up to 100 meters high in the forest suddenly lit up, the position of the light was only half a meter from the ground, at the root of the tree, first a silver-gray point of light, and then the point of light moved rapidly, carving an oval door on the tree, and the tree body in the door gradually floated, like the surface of the water, and folded.

A small white and slender hand stretched out from within, and Vivien pulled Xia Zuo out of the door, stepping through the door and coming to this almost fantastic forest.

The moment the two of them left the door, the door was gone, and the tree was still the same tree, but there was no trace of light on it, and the body of the tree became solid.

"Here, it's so beautiful!" Xia Zuo looked at the forest, as if he was shocked, looking at the butterfly that slowly flew away with a golden streamer, his eyes lit up, and he sniffed the air in the forest deeply, and the whole person seemed to be a lot more relaxed.

"Yes, it's beautiful!" Vivien replied in a low spirit, she was not interested in the scenery around her, because it was not her first time here, and she was already familiar with it.

Xia Zuo began to walk forward, touching here and now, looking at everything, everything here made him feel very new, Xia Zuo was very curious, he had never seen such a forest.

"Xia Zuo, let's go find the Alchemy Beast!" Vivien reminded.

"Oh, good!" Xia Zuo reacted, Vivien wasn't here for a sightseeing trip.

"Over there. Vivien said, pointing to the north of the forest.

The two walked towards the north of the forest, and along the way, Xia Zuo was still full of interest and kept watching, while Vivien didn't seem to be interested, and followed closely behind Xia Zuo.

There are many cute animals in the forest, but since the last time the little monkey hit her with fruit and the squirrel stole the pine cones she picked, Vivien no longer likes the small animals here, and she is not in a very good mood today, so every time she sees the small animals running by from not far away, she feels very annoying.

"We're here!" Xia Zuo suddenly stopped.

"Here, hey, how do you know Lu Dao?" Vivian was suddenly surprised, she didn't say how far she went, how did Xia Zuo know Lu Dao?

"Shhhhhhhhh

Vivien didn't understand what was wrong with Xia Zuo, but she still obediently pursed her lips and said that she didn't speak.

Xia Zuo gestured to Vivi Ai not moving, then turned around and grabbed the big tree beside him, climbed up with his hands and feet with ease, and squatted on a branch about six meters above the ground.

Vivien looked up at Xia Zuo, completely unaware of what Xia Zuo was doing.

Xia Zuo didn't explain, squatted on the branch and slowly turned around, aimed at another big tree in front of the side, jumped out of the ground with both legs, six or seven meters away, Xia Zuo jumped over, grabbed the branch of the big tree in front of him with both hands, and then turned over and squatted on it.

During the whole process, Xia Zuo's body was extremely light and agile, almost making a sound, and his ability to control his body was no longer a pervert that could be described.

In the same way, Xia Zuo jumped two more times, and finally landed on a towering tree about twenty meters away from Vivien, this time the branch was a little closer to the ground, about three meters or so.

Xia Zuo turned his head to look at Vivian, and seeing that Vivian's expression was a little uneasy, he immediately made a gesture to Vivian to calm down, then lowered his head, stretched out his left hand, and pulled up his sleeve little by little, revealing his thin arm.

Xia Zuo's left hand was clenched into a fist, and then spread out, several times in a row, as if moving his fingers.

Then, Xia Zuo's body stopped, looking down at the ground below at the pile of fallen leaves, and the whole person was like a sculpture, completely still.

Vivian looked at Xia Zuo, and her whole breathing subconsciously slowed down, because she felt that Xia Zuo seemed to be about to do something.

Suddenly, Xia Zuo moved.

Hooking the tree trunk with his right hand, he leaned forward and slid down, and then kicked the branch with both legs, and the whole person suddenly shot towards the ground like a sharp arrow, and after an instant, the left arm stretched out to the ground straight into the ground, and it seemed that almost the entire arm was inserted into it.

Xia Zuo lay on the ground, his side face already attached to the fallen leaves on the ground, looking like he had fallen from a tree and died.

"Ah, Xia Zuo, what's wrong with you?" Vivien exclaimed, running towards Xia Zuo.

"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Xia Zuo immediately replied, and the left arm that was inserted into the ground was pulled out of it little by little, bringing out a lot of dirt, and at the same time he slowly got up to his body, and when he slowly pulled out most of his arm, he stopped, his arm shook from side to side, and finally pulled out his hand completely with great force.

Everything is complicated, but it happens in a very short time.

Just as Natsuzo's hand left the dirt, Natsuzo heard a "squeak" cry.

In Xia Zuo's hands, a fat "alchemy beast" has appeared, it looks like a big mouse, its eyes are bigger, it is very spiritual, its four front paws and a pair of backwards are constantly kicking, its belly is very pink, and it is "squeaking", which not only does not look ugly, but it is fat and a little cute.

Vivian, who ran to Xia Zuo's side, was already stunned, looked at the little guy in Xia Zuo's hand in a daze, the corners of her mouth slowly pulled up, revealing a smile that was both surprised and unbelievable.

She covered her mouth with her hands and jumped on the spot, a little speechless with joy.

Xia Zuo shook the dirt off his arm and cleaned the little one in his hand again

"How did you do that?" asked Vivien, excitedly.

"Guess!" Xia Zuo joked, handing the "Alchemy Beast" to Vivien, but immediately withdrew his hand and asked, "Will it bite?"

Vivian didn't answer Xia Zuo's words, but immediately closed her eyes and prayed, chanting words, and just a few seconds, Vivien opened her eyes and blew on the little guy in Xia Zuo's hand.

The "Alchemy Beast", whose claws kept moving and struggled a little, suddenly calmed down, its eyes blinked, and it looked a little dazed.

"Alright, give it to me!" Vivien said, clapping her hands at Xia Zuo.

On the way back.

Vivien hugged the little one, full of joy, in stark contrast to the sad face before.

"Just tell me, how did you do it?" Vivian ran two steps quickly to catch up with Xia Zuo, who was constantly looking, she was very curious to know how it was possible to catch an alchemy beast as soon as she caught it?

"Actually, it'......" Xia Zuo's voice suddenly stopped, and he turned to look into the distance of the forest.

Vivien also turned her head, and she heard it, and just as Xia Zuo spoke, the sound of running suddenly sounded in the north of the forest.

Rustling......

"What is it?" In the distance, Xia Zuo saw a figure and was hurrying towards him.

"Is there anyone else here?" Xia Zuo asked quickly.

"No, there are only low-level monsters here. Vivien replied, the other man was aggressive, which made her a little nervous.

At the same time as the two were talking, the other party ran flat at an incredible speed not far from the two, stopped, and shouted at Xia Zuo, "Why are you here?"

The sound of bursting drinking suddenly stunned Xia Zuo, what do you mean why am I here?

He saw the person clearly, it was a man in silver armor, about thirty years old, about 1.8 meters tall, with a strong physique, slightly long cheeks, and some high cheekbones.

"We know each other?" Xia Zuo asked with a frown as he looked at the menacing man.

"Let me ask you, what are you doing here?" The man jumped like thunder inexplicably, roaring at the same time, he raised his left arm, his left arm instantly appeared a wonderful change, that arm did not seem to be flesh and blood, but machinery, the outer silver armor quickly separated and contracted, and the internal metal structure continued to outward expand and expand, combined and connected, and soon, his left arm became a tubular structure, thick in front and thin in the back, full of technology and metal breath.

The head of the tube shone with electric light, rapidly accumulating energy, forming a fist-sized blue ball of light inside.

Xia Zuo's eyes widened instantly, this is ......

Transforming people?

Android?
