Owen is the gatekeeper of San Taconic Mountain and lives in a stone house on the island in the middle of the lake.

Although Leia had already introduced Oun's general appearance to them on the boat, Ye Qimeng and Xia Chenxing were still shocked by this eight-foot-tall giant.

To be precise, he is a hybrid between an elf and a giant.

At least this is how the rumors describe it: his father is one of the dukes of the Hawk family, and his mother is a female giant from the snowy mountains of the far north. There are also rumors that his mother is actually the ancestor of the giant elves.

No matter what, his height cannot be faked, and it is also true that he lived for thousands of years.

He had been serving as the gatekeeper here since the San Taconic Mountain Barrier emerged.

Owen's appearance can be said to be fierce. He has a long and square face, thick eyebrows and big light blue eyes that are so close that they almost stick together. Matching them is a tall nose. and fat lips.

The beard on his chin was cleanly shaved, leaving only a large patch of iron-green color, and his short golden-brown hair was neatly combed, which made him look a lot more amiable.

He is indeed a kind and kind person, and is extremely patient with the three little girls. He even used his big hands to help Xia Chenxing, who was here for the first time, block the door frame that was about to hit his forehead.

Because the door of the small stone house is a bit low, but Ye Qimeng, who is 1.55 meters tall, has no trouble getting in and out.

The stone house is sunken, and only part of the roof can be seen from the outside. Only when you enter can you find that it is extremely spacious inside.

Moreover, the small room was kept in order by Ooen, and there were some cute knitted pendants placed in the corners.

This place doesn't look like a rough man's house, but like a kind old lady's cabin.

"Thanks to your telepathy, I can finally communicate with Owen normally." Leia carefully handed the boiling water in the copper kettle to Owen while chatting.

Ou En fumbled for a small iron box from the cupboard, poured the dried plant leaves inside into the ceramic tea set, and after brewing it with water in the copper pot, placed it in the tea set for Ye Qimeng and Xia Chenxing. in front of.

"It's just a little effort. There is no need to be too polite between friends. Speaking of which, I also know a giant elf, her name is Bianca."

Ye Qimeng picked up the ceramic tea cup on the table, which had exquisite patterns of flowers and plants on it. The brewed tea showed a clear green color, and the refreshing fragrance penetrated into her nostrils before she even took it into her mouth.

"What kind of tea is this?" Xia Chenxing also noticed the uniqueness of this tea and asked in his mind: "I have never smelled such a fresh fragrance."

Owen also sat on the single sofa nearby with a ceramic tea cup. At this moment, the normal-sized cup was like a toy in his big hands. He drank the tea in one gulp, leaving only the rim of the cup still intact. There is a sense of heat.

"This is Owen's unique secret recipe, sobering tea."

Laiya also held a small teacup, sat on the soft sofa, and proudly introduced to them: "I was stunned by poisonous mushroom spores in the forest before, and it was Ooun who saved me with his tea. My mother said that being in a coma for a long time will damage the brain, and I don’t want to be a fool.”

When Owen heard Leia's last words, it seemed that he had touched a secret deep in his heart. He sat on the sofa in silence with his head hanging down.

But the three of them could still hear the murmur in his heart: "Owen is not a fool..."

Although he is extremely tall and brave, his movements are a bit slow, and he cannot normally express his thoughts in the common language of elves, so he is always ridiculed as a "silly guard dog" by some unruly Blackagu students.

Seeing this, Leia quickly put down her tea cup and stepped forward to comfort her: "Oen is of course not a fool. He is the hero who saved Leia."

"Really..." Owen raised his head and saw Leia's sincere eyes, and suddenly laughed happily again, like a child who had just gotten candy.

"Really, really!" Ye Qimeng echoed.

Xia Chenxing nodded in affirmation and praised in his heart: "Your tea is delicious. Can you tell me the recipe?"

Owen raised his head seriously and thought: "It should be lilac jasmine leaves, gorse leaves, curly mosaic leaves, rabbit grass, silver needle leaves..."

He named more than thirty kinds of plants in total, all of which were new things that Ye Qimeng had never heard of. This reminded her of her future potions and botany courses, which she would probably have a very difficult time learning.

Laiya and Xia Chenxing listened very carefully, and even discussed the role of various ingredients in it and how to simplify this complicated formula. They looked like they were destined to be top academics.

Ye Qimeng could only taste the sobering tea while imagining where he had smelled this familiar sobering smell.

"I remembered!" She suddenly realized: "Toilet water! This tastes like toilet water!"

"What is toilet water?" Leia stopped the heated discussion and asked curiously.

"Uh...a kind of mosquito repellent..." Ye Qimeng found it difficult to explain, so she could only say this.

"This sobering tea does have the effect of repelling mosquitoes. It seems that you are very talented in botany." Laiya boasted.

This made Ye Qimeng a little embarrassed. This was just the knowledge and experience she brought from the original world. She didn't expect that it could be used here.

At this time, Owen brought two large baskets, one covered with red plaid cloth, which was filled with snacks when opened.

The square snacks also smelled of herbs, and were probably made from various plants mixed with flour. They tasted sweet with a slight bitterness, which just balanced out the overly sweetness of the sugar.

There seemed to be something alive in the other basket, which fluttered through the blue plaid cloth, almost frightening Ye Qimeng into screaming.

Opening a corner and looking inside, it turned out to be a litter of newly born little rabbits. They were covered with short white hairs, and the pink skin could still be seen vaguely inside.

Owen carefully built a nest for them in the bamboo basket with cotton wool, and filled the gaps in the bamboo basket with softer silk to prevent the newborn rabbits from crowding together.

According to Leia, this was a small hare that Ern accidentally picked up while patrolling the Santa Coni Mountains.

It had just rained in the forest, which might have flooded the rabbit's burrow. The newborn hare was abandoned in the grass under the cypress tree. He squatted there for a day and a night and saw no sign of the rabbit's mother, so he just dumped the little hare. The rabbit returned to the stone house.

Owen carefully stroked the white fur of the little rabbit with his thick index finger, with a happy and joyful smile on his face.

Four words came to Ye Qimeng's mind at this time: Tough and tender.

Ye Qimeng spent the entire afternoon playing in Ouen's stone house. He heard a lot of gossip about the Hawke family from Leia, and felt that the useless knowledge in his mind had increased a lot.

Regarding the matter of Professor Samantha and the secret room, even Leia, who claims to know every corner of Santa Cony Mountain, expressed her inability to do anything.

Leia only heard from her mother that the Black Spire was built a long time ago, and the architects did not leave any information about its internal structure, so it was normal for there to be some secret rooms that only professors knew about.

Ye Qimeng didn't care whether he was being targeted by someone with intentions. After all, in this place where top magicians gathered, it would be difficult for enemies in the dark to find opportunities to attack.

What's more, my ability is already invincible, so I don't have to be afraid of unknown dangers.

Before leaving, Ye Qimeng asked Ouen for some sober tea.

Because there were still some mosquitoes crawling into the room through the cracks in the windows at night in the Lakeside Dormitory, she decided to make her own mosquito repellent to solve this problem.

Owen generously gave her a large iron box full of sobriety tea, saying that it was to thank her for giving him the power of telepathy so that he could communicate better with Leia, so she also politely said I accepted this great gift.

Ye Qimeng, who returned to the lakeside dormitory, brewed the sober tea and let it cool, then carefully sprinkled the juice between the door and the window.

Owen taught her this trick, saying it could prevent strange mosquitoes from entering her house.

After spraying the window of the guardian beast's room, a trace of sadness flashed across Ye Qimeng's face, and her eyes were firmly fixed on Dao Ge who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

She felt that this was not going to work, as there was really no way to cure the curse on him, so she could only find a way to restore Dao Ge to human or elf form.

No matter how bad it is, if her ability improves, she may at least be able to stop Dogo from fainting due to fatigue.

So she returned to her room in a hurry, sat at the desk in front of the window, and carefully selected a brick textbook with gilded sides from the endless bag.

The moment she took out the book, three large golden characters "Practical Potions" suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

She opened the book solemnly and prepared to read and recite it carefully from the first page.

"Wineglass vine contains highly toxic hallucinogenic substances in its young leaves. It gradually disappears as it grows. It is often used to make potions to control golems. It grows in moist and dark places, and is common in northern primeval forests."

"Wastewort is a non-poisonous plant, but it can strengthen the ingredients of other plants. Its seeds are often used as potions. It grows in sunny places and is commonly found on sunny ridges in the south."

"Bitter vine is not poisonous to elves, but is highly poisonous to other creatures. It is often used to drive away monsters and identify magicians. Wearing it on the body has the effect of exorcising evil spirits. It is relatively rare and is only produced in swamps."

"Morning glory..."

When Ye Qimeng first picked up the fourth plant, she felt like she was already in a dreamland.

"Ah... are there morning glories in this world too..."

"Ah... I saw it wrong... It turned out to be a horse flower..."

"Plop-" With a sound, her head was buried in the open book, and she fell asleep completely.
