The blue sea, blue sky, clear sky, and white clouds and mountains are piled up on the horizon.We were taken in a small boat to a small island, which did not look very large, but looked like a coral reef with countless fine sands, formed over the years, not to mention mountains, not even rolling hills, and from a distance it looked like a large dense forest.The island is full of coconut and palm trees, there is a simple dock built by the sea, a group of people touch the shells in the shallow sea, they see the boat, they wave to us, this shallow sea area is very large, the sea is very clear, the bottom of the sea is paved with soft fine sand, there are white jellyfish floating in the water, silver transparent small fish shuttle in the water, it looks like a paradise.Smoke rises from the woods, and at the edge of the woods, you can also see some simple huts built by trees, outside the huts are placed some iron pots, straw mats, fishing nets, linen, all kinds of dried fish are dried on wooden racks, and some coconut shells are hung under the trees, and those coconut shells tied to the rope hang down from the trees, and they keep shaking with the wind, and they can't see what they can do, just like strings of wind chimes.However, under such a scorching sun, the taste of soaking in the sea water to pick up shells should not be very pleasant, looking at a young man soaked in the sea water straightened his waist, hesitated a little, untied the coconut shell around his waist, brought it to his mouth and took a small sip of water, and then carefully stuffed the cork, hung it on his waist, he raised his head, looked at the scorching sun hanging in the sky, and pursed his lips.Still others boil seawater, presumably salt, at the seashore."
These people are all from Conason Island?"
Sitting in the dinghy, I asked the oar-handling sailor."
Yes!"
The sailor's naked upper body became dark under the scorching sun, his lips were a little thick, his eyes were black and white, his hair was shaved short, he was not good at talking, his body was very strong, when he was paddling, his upper body muscles were bulging, and there was a knife mark on his chest to his left ribs, and he looked like a veteran.Some of the residents were sitting on the beach under the coconut trees, and when they saw a boat approaching, they ran out of the shade of the trees, went to the pier to catch the ropes thrown by the sailors, and dragged the boats to the pier, where the ropes were tied to the stumps.It's hot, the islanders are dressed coolly, and the men are mostly in linen beach shorts, shirtless, and tanned.The women wore straw skirts or canvas tube skirts, and a piece of wrap cloth was wrapped around their chests, and some of them had girly breasts.
In front of him, there were two scallop shells, and two small pieces of cloth hung on the string around his waist, and when he saw a stranger coming, he hurriedly hid in the woods.The children on the island are doing a game called diving on the other side of the pier, and from time to time there is the sound of splashing and laughter, and it is not known who is the hero and who is the coward in this group of children.As we jumped onto the dock from the dinghy one by one, the men all gathered around us and asked, "Where did you come from?"
Also a resident of Conason?
”"How come I've never seen you?""
How's Conason Island doing?"
The residents gathered us around the docks, their eyes full of anticipation, but a few of us were speechless.We weren't from Conason Island, so we couldn't answer their questions, but we couldn't bear to say we didn't know anything when we saw their expectant eyes.The sailor ended up jumping from the dinghy onto the dock and walked to the front to push away the crowd that was crowding on the pier.He said to these people, "Everyone, let me know, these are Count E's guests, and they are not from Conason Island. ”"Did Captain Justter come back from Connathan with herbs this time?"
At the back of the crowd, a woman's voice was heard.At this time, the men stood slightly on either side of the planked pier, leaving a path in the middle, and a woman in a long linen dress came out, and there was no trace of time on her face, but her eyes shone with wisdom, and she looked us up and down, with a look of surprise, and said, "You are magicians?"
”Noah stood at the front and nodded slightly to the woman.The woman's appearance is not outstanding, but she has a unique charm, and the islanders on both sides seem to look at the woman in front of them.She looked at Noah's badge, the pupils in her eyes shrank slightly, and asked Noah again, "You said members of the Mensa family?"
”"I'm Noah Mensah, and Luis is my brother."
Noah said to the woman.The woman didn't ask anything, didn't tell her identity, only turned around and left silently from the docks, and didn't ask about the magic herbs again, and the islanders also dispersed with the woman.We were led into the coconut grove by sailors, and it was noticeably cooler in the woods.Walking into the coconut grove, I found that the simple wooden houses inside were built on trees, looking at the dark faces peeking out of the wooden houses, I didn't expect that there were so many people living in the woods, and the taste of being watched by everyone was not very good.The sailors led us to a spacious treehouse, a small glade with some clean palm fronds on the sand, and green bananas, pineapples, and a few green coconuts in between.Several girls in canvas tube skirts walked over with a few coconuts, and the top of the coconut shell had been cut open with a machete, revealing the coconut water inside.Ying Li, Helena, and Becky are very familiar with the coconut, and after taking it, they still whisper to the side to evaluate the color of the coconut.Shirley.
Newman was born in the province of Bena, where coconut is not produced, but that doesn't mean Shirley doesn't know it, it's just that she stood next to Noah and didn't rush to taste coconut water.Miss Che Li on the side, holding the coconut in her hand, watched with curiosity as the girls of Yingli drank coconut water, and followed their example, tasting this sweet and silky natural drink.It feels very good to be able to drink a bowl of cool coconut water in such a hot weather, but the only thing that is unpleasant is that it is all carried out under the watchful eye.When I left the coconut shell in my hand, I found one thing, that is, the temptation of these coconuts to the islanders.
The confusion was also quite great, because I found that they secretly swallowed saliva when they watched us drink coconut water.Not only that, but they watched us pour out the water from the bladder and wash our hands, almost as if they saw us as enemies.A few bare farts.
The little black children squatted quietly under the coconut tree and watched us, and when we casually discarded the coconut shells that had drunk the coconut water, their eyes fell on the empty coconut shells.Then a group of us sat around the palm fronds in the glade, and I couldn't help but ask curiously to the sailor who was in charge of entertaining us, "Is life difficult here?"
”"Everything is fine, but the water resources need to be controlled, there is no fresh water on this island, all the water is distilled, there are too many people, there is only one still, even if it is boiling seawater day and night, it is not enough."
The sailor sat down against the coconut tree, rested his head on the trunk, picked up a coconut shell from which we drank dried coconut water, took a knife from his waist and broke the coconut shell, and handed it to the children who were waiting quietly under the tree.The children cheered, and crawled over, grabbed the coconut shell in the sailor's hand, grabbed a piece, and stuffed the juicy coconut meat into his mouth with his little hand, but the sailor looked at the group of children with soft eyes and full patience."
Aren't there still coconuts on the island?"
I asked him.The sailor hesitated a little, but still told the truth: "It's all eaten, and by the time we find out that there is a shortage of water, there is not much left, and these are specially left by Count E to entertain your distinguished guests." ”The sailor added: "There are too many people here, and the island is not enough to support so many." ”"So people here always hide in the shade, or in wooden houses, not for other reasons, but because they are worried about sweating too much and losing too much water in their bodies, because there is no abundant fresh water on the island?"
I asked the sailor.The sailor nodded a little awkwardly, perhaps slightly embarrassed."
But why didn't you say it earlier?"
Noah said speechlessly, "When you see us, why don't you just say your difficulties?"
”The sailor looked at Noah with an innocent and blank expression, not understanding why Noah looked angry."
We're magicians!"
Noah said to the sailor."
Count E says you're a fire magician!"
The sailor said with a humble face."
Don't you know that magicians also have a magical thing in their hands, called a magic scroll?"
As he spoke, Noah stood up, glanced at me, took out a water gathering magic scroll from his arms, and attached it to the trunk of a coconut tree.The magic pattern circle on the magic scroll slowly moved, quickly condensing the water vapor, and after a while, a clear spring flowed down the trunk of the tree.The children's eyes looked at this magic trick without blinking, and when they realized that there was clear water flowing from the trees, they all shouted and gathered around, and one of the daring children leaned his head over, stretched out his tongue and licked it, his eyes instantly brightened, and his mouth cracked to reveal the open teeth inside, and shouted loudly: "It's sweet, this water is sweet!"
”Another child stretched out his head, and the water poured over his head, and he stretched out his little hand to hold the water, and desperately put it into his mouth.It's like a person who has been hungry for three days and three nights suddenly sees a steamed bun and wants to put it directly in his stomach."
Making water, for us, is nothing more than the simplest kind of magic!"
Noah said to the sailor with excitement in his eyes.We didn't expect that the biggest problem on the island was the lack of water, and we watched the residents who lived on the island line up in a long line, silently receiving a glass of water, and then couldn't wait to pour it into their stomachs, and then quickly ran to the back of the line to start anew.I believe it won't be long before these people drink a stomach full of water, and they won't be like this.We waited for Count Eyre on the island, but we didn't see him come after a long time, and it seems that Count Ey's daily affairs are very busy.Ying Li secretly tugged at the corner of my clothes behind me, I turned my head, she looked around strangely, I immediately realized that she wanted to go around the island, this island is very beautiful, the water is also clear and blue, and it has a long coastline of soft sand, and the view is better than the city of Illinas in the Emerald Bay.I asked the sailor if he could walk around the island.The sailor said happily, "Of course."
And asked me: Do you need to find a guide?
Of course I shook my head and refused, even Noah tried to follow, but I blocked it, I pointed to the other side of the coconut grove and said to him: You should take Shirley over there.I rolled up my bloomers and stood barefoot in the water, feeling the warm water kiss the top of my feet.In the sea in the distance, the three girls of Yingli, Helena and Becky showed their beautiful swimming style, they all like to swim, and the water is also very good, watching the three girls float and sink in the sea, reminds me of the days in the city of El.At that time, I just met Ying Li not long ago, and I just had some faint feelings for her, that is, I felt that this girl was very special, and there was a unique temperament on her body, which could make my heart quiet, and then something happened, I chased them in a carriage to the Benma River, only to find that they actually skipped class and ran to the river to swim."
Jijia!"
Becky emerged from the sea and beckoned to me.In the sea, she looked particularly bold, and her smooth arms looked so white in the dazzling sunlight.Deborah stood barefoot on the seashore with her wings outstretched, she was holding a long dress, a little hesitant, not daring to step into the sea half a step, I stretched out a hand to her from a distance, she seemed to have a sense in her heart, looked up at me, saw my gesture of reaching out to invite, a bright smile appeared on her innocent face, reached out to hold the long skirt, stepped into the sea without hesitation, and ran towards me happily.Now she has been able to fully control her current body, a pair of wings can be retracted freely, she can also master the sense of balance when running, she is improving every day, she can discover something new every day, she is born with an inexplicable sense of intimacy with the wind element, and now when she flies, there is always a faint wind element magic around her body.And I found out that there is a natural magic pattern hidden on Deborah's body, which is unique to the succubus family, and these hidden magic patterns have recently become a little bit of a sneak peek, emerging from time to time under the surface of the skin.Sitting side by side on the beach under the coconut trees, talking and laughing, I don't know what the two women have in common who have been fighting in secret.At this moment, the woman I had seen on the dock came out of the coconut grove and walked straight to my side, her eyes fell on Deborah, but her gaze stayed on Deborah for less than five seconds, and then she turned her head to me and said, "Wizard Jiga?
”"I'm Jiga."
I smiled at her."
I heard you're a water magician?"
The woman asked again, and I nodded when I saw me, and she smiled and said to me happily, "That's great, you must do hydrotherapy, right?"
”I looked at my palm and said, "Of course, this is the introductory magic that every water mage learns. ”The woman couldn't wait to say, "I want to ask for your help, please help me, there are some wounded people over there who need to be treated" "Oh" I agreed casually."
Countess" two islanders ran out of the coconut grove, before anyone arrived, the voice had already come, I was stunned, looking at the plainly dressed woman in front of me, I didn't expect that she was actually a countess.And I was foolishly joined the ambulance team again
