Celestial Mage

Chapter 479 Hot, Really Hot (13)

City of Thorns.

The sun is very hot and the humidity is high, so it looks very stuffy.

In order to cool off, Rosen sat in the shade of a mud hut and waited.

It was inevitable that his appearance as a novice in the swamp would be targeted by others, and he even used an invisibility technique on purpose.

About four or ten minutes later, I saw two familiar figures appear in Thorn Town.

One is the lively and clever wood elf, Evelina the Starlight Deer.

The other is Ryder, the protector who has almost zero sense of existence but is always inseparable from the former.

Evelina was also obviously flustered by the heat, she was only wearing a broad-leaf short skirt and an exquisite chest protector made of two leaves.

Eighty percent of the body's skin is exposed to the air, which is very hot.

As soon as she arrived in the town, she looked around for someone.

Rosen appeared at the right time and walked up: "Eve, I'm here."

Evelina's eyes lit up, and she jumped over: "Aha, uncle, why are you interested in coming to the swamp?"

Rosen smiled: "Come and see the exotic scenery, and deal with some troublesome things by the way."

Evelina understood immediately: "Is it the trouble caused by that daredevil?"

Rosen spread his hands, looking helpless.

Evelina waved to Rosen.

"Come with me, uncle, and take you to my house, and let my father and mother help you find a way."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and ran to a relatively open shallow water stall on the edge of the town.

Just touch the water with your toes, and you can leap more than 20 meters with one touch, looking very elegant and dexterous.

Ryder immediately followed, he didn't have any skills, "Papapa~" The water splashed and the speed was fast.

Rosen used a gravitational spell, floating on the water and followed: "Eve, can't you fly to the sky?"

"better not."

"There are seven great beings in the swamp, and the territories are intertwined. If you enter by mistake, you will easily cause big trouble."

Rosen was shocked: "Does the great one mean the immortal strong?"

"Yes, Yemengard is the strongest, of course, the king of the swamp. But other races also have their own great ones. There are seven in total, collectively known as the seven elders of the swamp."

"We have one wood elf, as well as flower demons, centaurs, goblins, and dryads. The last one is a loner who doesn't like to be disturbed. If he strays into his territory by mistake, it will cause a lot of trouble. "

"understood."

He was unfamiliar with the place, and Rosen didn't want to cause trouble for nothing, so he followed Evelina, an aborigine, and walked around in the grass.

In the endless swamp wetland, water is everywhere, and the ground visible to the naked eye is wet, at least [-]% of which is water.

The clouds in the sky are in the shape of fish scales, neither thin nor thick, blocking the sun, but not completely blocking the sun.

When the light shines on the body, especially the hair, it is warm at first, and soon feels hot.

It was hot and stuffy, like being wrapped in a towel soaked with hot water, making people sweat continuously and a little out of breath.

After flying for a while, Rosen had to bless himself with constant temperature spells.

Seeing this, Evelina immediately reminded her.

"Uncle, except for fighting, it is best not to use spells at other times, as it will increase additional danger."

"Because there are many poisons in the swamp that specifically target mana, especially poisonous snakes, they will subconsciously attack as soon as they feel the breath of mana."

Before he finished speaking, a two-meter-long, black and white poisonous snake shot at Rosen's calf like an arrow.

Before touching it, the venom was sprayed over, sprinkled on the clothes made of indestructible mana, and there was a whistling sound, corroding a small trace of indestructible mana.

Of course, just a hint.

Ryder turned around immediately, raised his foot and gently kicked the poisonous snake away.

But just kicked away, not killed.

Evelina ran back to check the situation and was taken aback.

"Uncle, are you so powerful?"

She saw that Rosen's clothes were indestructible.

Rosen didn't answer but asked: "This snake venom seems to be able to corrode mana."

Evelina immediately explained: "This is called a boiling snake. When a mortal mage's magic power is touched by the venom, the magic power will quickly boil violently. If there is no antidote, he will become a madman even if he does not die."

"But Uncle, you are actually a great person, so it will be fine."

"However, it's better to use less spells. After all, it may disturb other great people. And every great person in the swamp has at least one kind of poison that can deal with great people, so it's better to keep a low profile."

Rosen felt that the swamp was really dangerous, full of forces completely unfamiliar to him.

To be on the safe side, I followed Eve's suggestion, canceled the constant temperature spell, and switched to running with my legs.

Even the clothes made of indestructible mana were canceled and replaced by grass clothes made of grass stems.

But still very hot.

"Eve, it's so hot, how did you survive?"

"Just get used to it. If it's too hot, just take a bath in the water."

Evelina continued to lead the way: "My home is [-] Lami to the south, let's hurry up and try to get there before dark."

Rosen ran wildly along the way.

It took six hours to drive.

As far as I can see along the way, about one-third of the area is grassland, not the short grass lying on the ground in the north, but tall and large water reeds.

One-third is woods, but most of them are some sun-loving dwarf redwoods, wintershade trees, japonica trees, and many tree species that Rosen doesn't know.

The general characteristics are that the branches are thin, there are many insects, and they grow crookedly, which is difficult to burn as firewood.

The remaining third is the water surface. There are countless big lakes and small ponds, and the criss-crossing rivers and shoals.

And in this Endless Land, there are extremely many types and quantities of creatures, and [-]% of the creatures that appear are Rawson's never seen before.

"Is it almost there?"

"Hurry up, hurry up, let's run for a while."

Although this sentence has been said several times, it finally came true at this moment.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, a grassy field with slightly higher terrain appeared ahead.

The highest part of the grassland was cleared to create an open space of hundreds of semimeters long and wide. Most of the grass in the open space was cleared and covered with soft fine sand, which was relatively dry.

In the most central position, there are several large thatched huts.

Rosen saw that the skeleton of this hut was made of giant animal bones, the roof was covered with thick dry grass, and the walls were blocked with dry broad leaves.

Compared with the village hut in the Golden Land, except for slightly different building materials, everything else is exactly the same.

I just found it incredible that a majestic extraordinary person should live in such a hut full of loopholes!

Although the Transcendent is physically strong and not afraid of the severe cold and heat, he is also a flesh and blood body who knows the cold and the heat. It is no wonder that this kind of place can live comfortably.

No wonder Evelina liked the cotton beds in the cabin.

When she landed in the open space in front of the house, Evelina seemed a little inferior, and sighed: "My house is very simple, and it can't compare to my uncle's magnificent castle."

Rosen quickly comforted: "No, no, this is very good, close to nature, the air is fresh, and the ears are clean."

"is it?"

A flower bloomed on Evelina's face, and her mood improved.

She yelled as she walked towards the distant wooden door.

"Father ~ Mother ~ I'm back."

The sound came into the bone shed with the wind, and after a while, the door of the shed was pushed open, and a 26-year-old beautiful woman walked out.

The woman's facial features were [-]% similar to Evelina's, and [-]% similar to Andraja's.

The clothes on his body are very cool, with a leaf skirt around his waist, and two leaves wrapped around his chest, which are not tightly wrapped, just casually covered.

Looking at the past from certain angles, there are many fascinating and beautiful scenery.

She saw Evelina first, and a gentle smile appeared on her face. When she was about to say hello, she saw Rosen behind her, and a hint of surprise appeared on her face.

"Who is this?"

Rosen bowed slightly and introduced himself: "Ma'am, it's an honor to meet you. I'm Rosen Philander, the husband of Andraya and Serraya."

The beautiful woman was startled for a moment, and then she came back to her senses, with a slightly surprised smile on her face.

"So it's my brother-in-law. I heard Eve and Ryder mention you, and they all said that you are an easy-going big shot."

"Ma'am, I'm sorry. I used to be a big shot, but now I'm just an adventurer."

The beautiful woman didn't understand, but she turned around and invited: "There are a lot of mosquitoes outside, so come in. Eve, since there are guests, why don't you hurry up and make tea."

"Yes, mother."

Evelina skipped into the shed.

"Lawson, what kind of tea do you want to drink? I have green tea, chickadee tea, and safflower tea, all of which we pick and make ourselves."

Before Rosen could answer, she asked again, "Where are your mother, father and older brothers and sisters?"

The beautiful woman smiled faintly: "Today is a big day, they are all busy, and they won't be back until the morning after tomorrow."

She asked Rosen again in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, didn't Eve cause you any trouble?"

She treated Rosen with respect.

Rosen shook his head again and again: "Why, Eve helped me a lot. If she hadn't led the way, I wouldn't have dared to come."

While talking, the two entered the shed. Although there were fewer annoying mosquitoes flying around people, it was getting hotter.

Rosen felt that his body temperature was soaring, so he decided to use spells to cool down the temperature. After thinking about it, he had to forget it. After all, he had to stay for many days and got used to the rules of the swamp.

After a while, my body was steaming with sweat, and my hair was about to smoke.

At this time, Evelina came over with a can of green tea, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, you sweat a lot, come, come, let's go to the water room to chat."

The water house is a simple indoor pool surrounded by animal bones and paved with smooth natural pebbles. There are channels to draw cool water from an underground river, and there are outlets to discharge dirty water. So always keep the pool in the house fresh.

Evelina took off her clothes a few times, sat down in the pool with a 'plop', and sighed in satisfaction.

"It's so cool."

Rosen was so hot that he immediately sat in the pool with Evelina, buried his whole body in the cool water, and then heaved a long sigh of relief, feeling completely transparent and indescribably refreshed.

The beautiful woman also sat in the pool, and to Rosen's surprise, before entering the water, she didn't care about Rosen as a guest, and took off the leaves and clothes that wrapped her body.

Rosen felt that his eyes were shining white, and his body that had just been cool was getting a little hot.

I couldn't help but think in my heart: "No wonder Eve is so casual, so it was taught by my mother."

Just as he was wondering, he saw Evelina smiling at him.

"Uncle, take off your grass skirt too, it's so comfortable to be naked in the water!"

"This"

Rosen felt that this was really inappropriate. If Evelina's father, brother and sister came back and saw this scene, could they spare him?

The beautiful woman soaked in the pool very generously, and said with a smile: "In the wild land, there are no rules, just for comfort. Brother-in-law, don't take offense."

This is true, in this sweltering hot and humid place, taking off your clothes and soaking in the cool water of the cool pool is really a supreme enjoyment.

Rosen simply relaxed, and said: "It's not bad to go back to the basics and seek the truth."

He took off the grass skirt, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it was inappropriate, so he condensed a pair of shorts with indestructible mana to hide his embarrassment.

The beautiful woman was shocked and her eyes widened: "Duke Rosen, have you reached the realm of immortality?"

Rosen smiled slightly: "Madam, why should you be so surprised? You are only a thin line away from the Immortal Realm, right?"

In his opinion, the other party's achievements are even better than Andraja's.

The beautiful woman smiled wryly, and a trace of envy flashed in her eyes: "It's been 200 years since I've been separated by this line."

After finishing speaking, he added: "Since you are my sister's husband, don't call me Mrs. My name is Hiraya, just call me Hill."

"Oh yes, Hill. You can just call me Rosen directly."

Rosen immediately changed his words and got straight to the point.

"I'm here mainly to meet Lord Yemengarde and talk to him about the cooperation with the swamp black mud."

In the eyes of ordinary people, the black mud of the swamp is a bit disgraceful, but in the eyes of alchemists, it is a treasure.

Rosen can also accept it, just treat it as alien oil.

Because what is really useful is swamp clear oil, and from black mud to clear oil requires a full 19 processes of processing.

Not only purification, but also various chemical changes are involved, which is completely different from raw materials.

But as soon as he said that, Hiraya frowned slightly: "I'm afraid this matter is a bit difficult."

She explained in detail.

"Because of what Robinson did, my lord can't hear the words 'swamp black mud' now, and he will be furious when he hears it."

Rosen was taken aback: "Then what can you do?"

Xieraya thought about it carefully: "It's best to do it step by step."

"Well, let's find an opportunity to inform the adults about your arrival, and then make a second plan based on his reaction."

Rosen didn't know much about the situation in the swamp, so when he saw that his aunt was willing to help, he got up and saluted.

"Hill, if this cooperation is successful, I will repay you vigorously and find a way to help you break through the last line of barriers to promotion to the Immortal Realm."

Xieraya thought that what Rosen said was polite, but she didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Since we are a family, we don't talk about repayments, so we can help as much as we can."

While speaking, she stood up from the pool, climbed up to the bank vigorously, rewrapped her clothes in front of Rosen's eyes, and walked directly to another room.

"Eve, I'm going to deliver dinner to your father and the others, you wait at home for my return. Remember, don't be naughty with guests!"

"Got it, mother."

After Xieraya finished speaking, she said to Rosen: "Brother-in-law, there is still a lot of food left in the pot. If you are hungry, eat first, don't wait for me."

After speaking, she took the food box, opened the door and went out.

As soon as she left, Evelina regained her vivacity and immediately asked, "Uncle, are you hungry? My mother's stew is delicious."

"Then I'll have a good taste."

Evelina stood up directly, without any clothes on, went to the kitchen to scoop up a large stone pot of stew, and then sat back in the sink.

"Come on, let's eat together. This is moonlight eel meat, very delicious."

Rosen tasted it, and found that the eel meat was really good, very tender, tender and crispy, and added some unique spices of the swamp, which tasted very cool and refreshing.

He ate several big mouthfuls, and then asked: "What is a big day?"

Evelina swallowed the eel meat in her mouth, explaining with a natural expression.

"It's the day when Master Yemengarde takes a bath, once every half a month, and each time lasts for three days."

"During these three days, we close servants have to help the lord clean the filth from the scales, clean the minced meat between the teeth, and finally, clean the filth from the lord, which is what you people in the Golden Land call swamp black. mud."

Rosen understood, but was a little puzzled.

"Isn't the filth between the scales gone with a spell? Why bother cleaning it up?"

As far as he knew, the giant dragon would not let the dragon servant do this kind of personal work. If the body is dirty, flying at supersonic speed will clean it better than washing it with any water.

Evelina shook her head: "My lord is not proficient in spells, he is good at hand-to-hand combat and poison."

"Of course, although you don't know how to use spells, your body has a very strong resistance to spells, and the poison you spit out can corrode everything."

"Flesh, mana, and soul are all irresistible."

"Oh~~~Understood."

Rosen has a general understanding of the swamp king, who is very strong and possesses unconventional power.
