47. Running Horse River in the rain


Twenty kilometers north of the city of El there is a mountain of Antia, this from the flat straight up on the top of the dangerous peak, it is said that the goddess of liberty had comprehended the true meaning of the godhead here and ascended to heaven, and then her followers built a large temple on this mountain, here is the place blessed by the goddess, almost every few years there will be miracles, in the province of Sloyt Lady Liberty believers are very many, this temple is also very transcendental, many nobles go to the temple from time to time to pray for the blessing of the goddess.This temple recruits some highly qualified girls to be priests in the whole province of Sloit almost every year, and there are also some children from poor families who suffer to become monks in the temple, this temple can train nearly 100 priests for the Grimm Empire every year, which can be described as outstanding achievements in the past ten years.Speaking of the profession of priests, it is the clergy who have received part of the divine power of the goddess, and they walk on earth in place of the goddess of liberty.In the distance, the majestic summit of Mount Antia was seen in the clouds, and the entire temple was built halfway up the mountainside, and it is said that an altar was built at the summit of Mount Antia, where the chief priest of the temple communicated and prayed with the goddess of liberty.I've always wanted to see what a temple three times larger than the Marquis' Mansion of the Lord of El looks like, and now standing at its foot reminds me of the Nightwolf Cliff Mountain on the Pai Plateau.In the wasteland, he learned some tracking techniques from Kuz, and can identify the direction of his target by various traces along the way.Standing on the dirt slope, the steel wheels forged from the steel rolled on the loess tamping avenue, pressing out a half-inch deep rut, and the wind magic array on the caravan, even if it finally reduced a large part of the weight of the caravan, but the two caravans were still not light.The rut continued north at this fork in the road, and there were still a few burnt traces of lion's claws on the road, which must have been left by the strange beasts with some sinister blood.I'm guessing Win Li's black carriage eventually rounded Mount Antia and continued north.I'm a little strange, what is the matter with Ying Li, to run so far, after all, there is still class tomorrow morning.The coachman who was waiting on the side looked up at the sky, looked at the road with some concern, and cautiously ran over to remind me: "Your Excellency, Honorable Magician, if you are not going to spend the night outside the city, then you must at least leave for the city of El at once, or we will not be able to rush back when the gates are closed!"

”I didn't expect Ying Li to run so far all at once, I originally thought she was going to the rose garden to relax, but this way all the way to the north, and if I go down again, I will reach the south bank of the Benma River!

What could she do there?

I was a little hesitant to continue looking, but if I hadn't been a little paranoid, I could have returned the studs to her tomorrow morning when I went to school.Seeing her sad departure from the library, I felt that I owed her a word, so I stubbornly chased her out of the city.In fact, I can let this coachman send me here, the fare I paid has been completely overrun, for the coachman, this is already very rare, I guess this is more or less because of my identity as a magician, he can't wipe his face and drive me out of the car, so he can't get any work back in the city, so he took me a short circuit, originally said to take me to the rose garden, now I have reached the foot of Mount Antia, I turned around and pursed my lips to the coachman and smiled and said: "Thank you very much for sending me here, in this case, then we will turn back immediately!"

”As soon as I finished speaking, the afternoon sun shone into the grass by the roadside, and a yellow, orange and orange magic badge lay on the dead leaves, and I held this badge in my hand, and on the back of the badge there was the initials of Ying Li's name, "DGLSYL", which I had seen.I had a bad feeling that something might have happened to Ying Li, and that she wouldn't have lost her magic badge.When he heard that I had decided to return to the city, the coachman had turned the carriage around in high spirits, and when he saw my solemn expression, he was so apprehensive that he did not dare to ask me when I would get on the carriage.Seeing his sad face, I paid him the fare, and asked him to go to my house and tell Ryan and Fanny when he returned to the city, that I would not be able to go home for the evening, and that they should not worry about Yunyun.As I watched the wagon carrying the dust all the way in the direction of the city of El, I realized how anxious the coachman really was.After sorting out the belongings he had carried, he found that he had almost no food or water prepared except for a close-fitting wolf's tooth dagger.The Magic Waist Pack was empty of several magical herbs and four stone drums.I took the moonstone drum out of my magic waist bag, hung it on my waist, and then sat quietly on the grass by the roadside, calmed myself down, and condensed the wind element from my body to my palm, the power of the wind element slowly formed a ball of light the size of a ping-pong ball in my palm, after awakening the magic pool, every time I do this, the wind element mana in the magic pool will take the opportunity to pass through the magic barrier and melt into the magic element ball in my hand, so that it is not a magic ball composed of mana in pure body nodes, There is no way to activate the Moonstone Drum, and the orc totem only absorbs the pure power of the natural elements.But I made a very bold attempt this time, that is, when I used the magic power in my body, I forcibly manipulated the barrier of the magic pool to rotate in the opposite direction with the magic vortex, and fortunately my magic perception was strong enough, those perceptions can extend to every part of the body, the barrier of the entire magic vortex is like a tough ball, I urged the magic power on the outside of the barrier, so that they pushed the barrier of the magic vortex to start slowly rotating.It was a very mysterious feeling, the whole vortex was like a new universe inside me, and the boundary of the whole universe was the magical barrier inside me, and I made this magical boundary rotate until it rotated as fast as the magic vortex, but it was in the opposite direction, and the pull between them gradually remained balanced.At this time, I dared to inject the wind elemental ball in the palm of my hand into the moonstone drum, and the entire moonstone drum lit up, and a light group of wind element immediately formed a light and spiritual force to focus on my legs, which was the buff magic effect brought by the moonstone drum "Wind Rush".I felt so relaxed that I could almost fly, some things were just afraid of being forced, I spent nearly two weeks looking up materials in the library, and I asked some magic teachers who taught many times, I didn't get any useful knowledge from them, I didn't think that at the foot of Mount Antia, I actually thought of such a way, let the barrier of the magic pool and the magic vortex in the magic pool rotate in the opposite direction, you can block the leakage of mana from the magic pool, so that the entire magic pool can become a closed magic space.Finding the solution to the problem of casting universal magic once again made me feel a lot more relaxed, as if I had regained some kind of power in my body, and I even wanted to stand here and shout a few times to vent the feeling of exhilaration.This is the northern suburb of the city of El, and I pass through it almost every year until I walk to the south bank of the Penma River, along the river.This is my home, the place I know best, the wind carries me across the field, the grass I have waded through has formed a straight line of grass, a roe deer runs side by side with me, the wind carries me through the branches of the trees in the forest, agile and nimble to catch up with me, and the treetops in front of me to frighten the fleeing monkeys.I grinned at them, and the monkeys hid in the canopy of the trees, angrily throwing some dry branches and wild fruits at me, but those things could only be left behind me and I knew that if the black caravan continued all the way north, it would have to go around Mount Antia, and I knew a shortcut that would allow me to catch up with the caravan, and I wanted to see who it was, who could hijack the magic apprentices of the academy at the gate of the War College and leave the city of El without any problems, It will be inscribed on the shame board of the War College, and my name may appear when this story is narrated.When I think of this, I want to fly and catch up with the caravan running in front of me.The beautiful dividing line, the Benma River, meanders from west to east, flows for nearly 1,000 kilometers before flowing into the White Elephant River and finally into the Endless Sea.Passing through the city of El, the terrain is gentle, and the water flow is no longer so turbulent, especially in the Antian Mountains, where the Galloping River has made a big bend, the river flow has dropped to the lowest point, and the countless fine sand carried in the river water is slowly deposited on this section of the river, forming a whole narrow white sand beach along the river, like a jade belt lying quietly on the emerald green territory.Countless clouds had gathered in the sky, and a few quarters of an hour ago the sky was clear, but now the sky seemed to be dripping with thick ink, and a cool damp breeze was blowing in the distance, and it seemed that the rain could not be avoided.However, what worries me the most is that this heavy rain will wipe out all traces on the ground, and I will no longer be able to use shallow tracking techniques, and I am anxious at the moment.Over a grassy slope of nearly 100 meters in front of me, what caught my eye was a wide river, the Galloping Horse River flowed slowly here, a large amount of river water gathered here, forming a river surface more than two kilometers wide, a black canopy carriage was parked on the white beach by the river, four beasts like lions, four hooves with green smoke were roaring at the sky, this kind of beast born with fire attributes hated rain very much.At this moment, my heart in the air fell back to the ground, and the two carriages stopped on the river beach not far away, and I looked for the traces of Ying Li, and found a line of chaotic footprints on the white sand that continued into the Galloping Horse River.This grassy slope is less than a kilometre from the river beach, and the terrain is slightly higher, so you can clearly see everything on the river beach and the entire wide river.I ran quickly down the grassy slope, thinking that maybe there was a boat carrying them downstream, and the more I thought about it, the more anxious I became.After a long cross-country run, my blood was almost boiling, steaming hot, breathing like a battered windbox in a blacksmith's furnace, wheezing violently, wanting to suck all the air into my lungs.Finally, after running more than 200 meters, I saw a black spot on the river from a distance, and the black spot was clearly a person who fell into the river!

She seemed to be struggling in the river, but she kept drifting downstream with the slowly flowing water.Save!

The thought flashed through my mind, and I rushed from the grassy slope to the beach, dragging my magic robe down and throwing it on the beach as I ran, and then the sheepskin soft armor and legging leather trousers also remained on the shore, and after rushing forward seven or eight meters, I jumped high on the beach, plunged into the river in a fish-like leap, and struggled to swim past the figure that had risen and fallen at that time.I've always been very good at water, and at a very young age I dared to swim in the freshly civilized river with ice floes.The Running Horse River is known for its turbulent water, but this section of the water is quite gentle.I struggled with both hands to split the river in front of me, and my feet took turns to tread on the water, swimming straight towards the black spot.At this time, the bean-sized raindrops have been smashed down from the air, and in an instant the sky and water are connected, and the sky and the earth are full of water, my vision is not too far, the waves on the river block my vision, I can no longer see the black spot on the river, I am annoyed and slap my hand on the water, my body is like a carp, jumping out of the water, and instantly falling back into the river.The moment I took off, in the pouring rain, it was as if I saw the black dot floating not far away.That's when I remembered that I had another kind of magic, "walking on water".As I chanted the incantation, the pale blue aura surrounded my body, and I pressed my hands on the water, and stood up directly from the surface of the river, which was covered with layers of waves, and at this time, I stood naked in the rain wearing only a pair of checkered boxer shorts, and let the cold bean-sized raindrops hit my body, and I wiped the rain off my face with my hands, looking for that figure on the surface of the river.Fifty meters away, several figures were still floating in the water, and I ran over quickly.At this time, the rain was quite heavy, and the heavy rain hit the surface of the river and created a thick layer of mist.At the same time, I ran from the water behind them, and when I came close to them, I didn't have time to think about it, and while chanting a skillful incantation, I crouched down, and put my hands on the round shoulders of the girl who was floating on the water, and dragged her out of the river, and she screamed and struggled, and came to the surface.By this time, I had finished casting the spell, and a blue ball of light enveloped her body, and when she fell to the surface of the river again, it was like landing on the beach, and she was not sinking.Her body was just tied tightly with a palm-wide belt, and her lower body was also an unknown pair of leather briefs, and after I dragged her snow-white body out of the water, I found that her snow-white skin was crystal clear in the water, and that exquisite face was the girl called Becky among Ying Li's four best friends, and she looked at me with wide eyes and slight anger.She struggled out of my hands, wearing her long, wet green algae hair, looked at me standing in the rain in amazement, and exclaimed, "Jiga, why are you, what are you doing?"

”I was overwhelmed by her question for a while, wasn't I clearly rescuing the girl who fell into the water?

How could he be questioned by her like this?"

Didn't you fall into the river and swim ashore?"

I was standing in the heavy rain on the river, and suddenly several figures appeared in the river beside her, and the figures of Yingli, Lagertis, and Helena kept appearing in the river, and they looked at me in amazement, and then saw Becky, who was sitting on the surface of the river, covering her chest with her hands, ashamed and annoyed.The expressions on her face were colorful, and the girls looked at Ying Li floating in the river, at this time Ying Li also tried to lift her head out of the water in amazement, she was wearing a swimsuit similar to Becky, looking at me with a look of surprise, her beautiful face looked extraordinarily soft in the water, at this time, I couldn't even see her beauty anymore, how could it be so ordinary."

Don't you see we're swimming?"

Becky muttered dissatisfiedly, glanced at Ying Li, and quickly dived into the river, only then did I realize that her water nature was actually very good.The heavy rain is still cathartic, and when you speak in the rain, the rain will inevitably pour into your mouth.Ying Li swam to my side, pulled me, and dragged me into the warm river water, instead of standing in the cold rain, it was better to hide in the river water, where was she still half angry in her eyes at this time, she approached me with a smile, and kept separating the water with her hands and asked, "Jia, why did you come here?"

”I didn't look at her angrily, so I braved the rain to tell her about the incident.When I said that I accidentally picked up a delicate magic stud earring outside the north gate, Ying Li touched his left ear in surprise, and sure enough, the earrings on the small pearl-like earlobe were gone.Instead, the girls around Ying Li swam to the distant river to play, and I realized that their water nature was far better than I had imagined.The two of us swam side by side in the river to the shore, and Ying Li was a little shy and a little proud, and asked, "You specially sent me earrings?"

Then I found out that I might have been kidnapped, so I sent the coachman back to the city to report the news, and I ran all the way over?

”"Yes!"

I'll be honest with you.Before I could speak, a warm body came over and gently wrapped it around my back, and my wet lips gently pecked at my cheek, and whispered in my ear, "Thank you!"

I'm in a much better mood, even if you ask out another girl at the prom, for the sake of this incident, I'll forgive you!

To be continued.
