After leaving the shopping mall building, the depressing feeling disappeared immediately. Ian breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that he should go to places like this less in the future. The things inside were of little value to him anyway.

Stepping out of the shopping mall gate, walking on the once bustling commercial street, looking at the streets covered with dust and fallen leaves, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

It has only been a few years, and the shops that were originally decorated with exquisite decoration have become dilapidated and abandoned. Perhaps humans have never truly conquered this world, and humans are just passers-by in this world's long life.

Boom.

Before he had taken a few steps, he heard a muffled sound and looked up. Unexpectedly, a thick layer of dark clouds had appeared on the horizon.

"It's going to rain soon..." Ian muttered, looking at the sky.

Boom.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another thunder, followed by the sound of rain. The rain was pouring down, accompanied by strong winds with whistles. Several sounds were mixed together in such a way that it always sounded a bit scary. people.

Ian was taking shelter from the rain in a jewelry store. He frowned as he watched the sky outside getting darker and darker, and the layers of black clouds getting thicker and thicker.

I took out my pocket watch and looked at the time. It was 15:55. This sudden heavy rain had been falling for more than 40 minutes. And there seems to be no sign of stopping at the moment, and the wind outside is getting stronger and stronger.

Although he didn't know what a so-called typhoon looked like, he saw a light scooter being shaken by the wind, and even heard several loud noises from billboards being blown down. Thinking about the weather, even compared to a typhoon, it was nothing like this. How much difference will it make?

"How can there be such strong convective weather in November? A typhoon is blowing in this area at this time? Something feels wrong..."

Ian was really confused. Such weather was indeed against common sense, but he soon figured out the reason. After all, the world is like this, and it is normal for the ecological environment to change, thus affecting climate change. He was relieved when he thought of this.

"It's not a problem to wait like this..." Looking at the continuous hurricane rain, Ian was a little worried that the greenhouse he just built would be damaged.

"Call the gods to protect you."

The silver phoenix patron saint appeared beside him in an instant. Needless to say, the connected phoenix understood what Ian was thinking. It flew in mid-air and stretched out its slender claws, waiting for Ian to hold it before apparating instantly.

"Bang!"

A faint sound broke through the air, and at the same time, Ian's figure instantly appeared in the living room of the villa.

Eileen, who was sitting at the desk sorting out information, was stunned by the scene in front of her.

She was not surprised by the way Ian appeared. After all, she had been hearing, witnessing, and watching magic every day for a long time, and her nerves had been trained to be extremely tough. Even if Ian appeared in an exaggerated way, she could accept it.

What surprised her was the gorgeous translucent bird next to Ian.

"Oh my God! It's so beautiful... This is simply... a miracle." Irene opened her mouth slightly and said in shock.

"It's a phoenix, and it's also my messenger and patron saint." Ian didn't want to hide anything, so he told the truth.

"Messenger? Patronus? Can I touch it? It's so beautiful..."

"You can touch it if you want. You can stay here with it for a while. I have to go see the vegetable garden first and reinforce the greenhouse. This storm is a bit strange..."

After Ian finished speaking, he walked towards the door under the iron armor spell. The moment he opened the door, strong wind rushed in. In order to avoid damaging the furnishings in the house, he could only walk out of the door quickly.

The rain hit the Iron Armor Curse hard, and countless water droplets splashed on the transparent armor. Although the curse protected him well from the rain, it could not withstand the resistance of the wind.

Ian held on to the wall and walked forward with some difficulty step by step. He had to walk for 4-5 minutes in just a few dozen meters.

When we arrived at the vegetable greenhouse, the good news was that none of the skeletons had been damaged. After all, they were all made of thumb-thick steel pipes, fixed with permanent adhesive spells.

However, the plastic insulation film laid on it had been torn in many places by the hurricane, and the vegetable seedlings inside were blown around, making it look like a mess.

Without stopping, he ran directly to the back warehouse and took out the large canvases he had collected before. They were stacked in three layers, even as thick as one centimeter. This time, Ian was no longer lazy, and used the permanent adhesive spell to layer the cut canvases layer by layer. fixed on the bracket.

As the last loophole was repaired, the sound of wind and rain was completely shut out, and the whole world suddenly became quiet.

"As expected of a voyage item, the quality is beyond praise. I'll clean it up after the rain stops. I don't know how much it will survive. I'm sorry for the new dragon dung I bought..."

He looked at the newly repaired and pasted canvas, looked at the airtight vegetable garden, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Calling God to Protect..."

Well, it wasn't that Ian was lazy, the main thing was that he really didn't want to walk back in a hurry despite the hurricane.

"I just touched it, and it disappeared on its own..."

As soon as Ian disapparated and returned to the room, he heard such a slightly uneasy word.

"...This has nothing to do with you. I just summoned it to pick me up in the vegetable garden, and then released the magic. The wind outside is really too strong."

Seeing Irene's cautious expression, Ian had to explain quickly, and at the same time said softly: "Do you still want to play with it? It has always been by my side and can appear at any time, no matter what. place."

After hearing this, Eileen's eyes suddenly lit up. After hesitating for a moment, she shook her head and said, "Forget it, just let it stay with you. I also have my job."

Looking at the little girl's posture, Irene clearly wanted to play for a while, but she had to pretend to be sensible.

Ian thought, and the gorgeous phoenix appeared next to her again, and touched Irene's cheek affectionately with its long beak.

"You guys go ahead and play. This magic is obviously not a burden to me. Moreover, whenever I need it, it can appear by my side in an instant no matter where I am."

In fact, Ian was a little curious. His Phoenix's attitude towards Eileen was obviously very friendly, even cordial. However, only Irene has seen it so far, so it is difficult to judge whether this kind of kindness is unique or universal.

Watching the two of them playing around, Ian sat on the sofa, casually tore open a pack of Bibi's multi-flavor beans, and put them in his mouth one by one like eating popcorn. He didn't know if he would stay in the magic world for a long time. In order to be assimilated, he gradually fell in love with these weird snacks.

I even thought about taking the time to go to Honeydukes and order some cockroach piles to try. Yes, order it, because so few people have a preference for cockroach-like snacks that not even Honeydukes stock it.

This sudden hurricane rain directly caused the diesel generator that was barely working to completely stop working. However, he was too lazy to repair it and waited until the weather cleared.

Anyway, the lit fireplace not only emits heat, but also acts like a warm LED light, providing relatively sufficient lighting for the place to brew a cup of warm black tea.

In short, compared with the violent storm and darkness outside, the small room at the moment is illuminated by the warm yellow light of the fireplace, making everything seem very peaceful and warm. There is no sound of howling wind, no sudden sound of rain, and some Just the sound of a crackling fire in the fireplace...

"It feels like there's something wrong with this kind of weather..."

At some point, Irene was already sitting next to him holding Phoenix in her arms.

When Ian heard this, he said with some agreement: "There is something wrong. I noticed it when I was outside. Ordinarily, given the geographical location here and the current month, I always feel that it shouldn't be like this..."

"As long as our house is safe..." Erin said worriedly.

In fact, she already regarded this small house as the most precious thing in her life. It was everything to her, the only thing.

"There is no need to worry about this. It has only been a few years and the load-bearing and structure of the house will not change."

Ian always felt that Eileen seemed a bit pessimistic, and her worries were unfounded. The construction of this kind of independent villa must be at least earthquake resistant to level 5 to be considered qualified. The wind and rain outside are really not enough to shake it.

The two of them sat side by side in the living room, neither of them speaking, quietly watching the storm outside the window.

It lasted for a long time, and Ian probably felt that he was too quiet, so he said half-jokingly: "Let's have some candy for dinner later. The generator is on strike and we have to retreat to the steam age."

"Well..." Erin nodded gently.

Ian noticed that she seemed to be in a low mood today, but girls always have a few days every month, so he didn't go into details and just said softly:

"There are candles and matches in the storage room. Remember to get them before going to bed. I will go back to the room first, and Phoenix will stay with you. After all, the weather is really scary."
