The magician from the time of peace

Agnes couldn't have been more calm than Foster and Lamb.

"May I ask your Excellencies, why do you need our help?" She glanced at her props from the corner of her eye, wondering how to get them back.

"We want to meet your goddess." Merris said the purpose with a smile, and didn't sell it at all.

"Lord Nell?" Agnes widened her eyes slightly, a little surprised.

"Well," Merris nodded, and asked sincerely, "Have you seen her, and do you know where she is?"

"No, she's a god." Agnes couldn't help being dazzled by this face, and suddenly had the idea of ​​inventing a prop that can be placed on the eyes to block light.

Hearing the negative answer, Merris looked disappointed. Felix couldn't get used to such an expression, so he answered: "No one has ever seen those two gods with their own eyes. They don't exist at all."

Lamb and Foster were eager to refute, but because there was no evidence, and they were still afraid of Felix, they had to make two strange figures of being choked by something.

"No, goddesses do exist in this world." Agnes said without being humble or overbearing, and she also had the demeanor of a goddess to the two colleagues next to her who dared not speak out.

"The original alchemy was taught to us by the goddesses. Now the books written by them are still kept in the treasury of the central temple of the two countries, and the photocopies are spread all over the continent. All alchemy today is based on This is derived from the foundation." Eggers said: "The most important thing is that starting from 300 years ago, every six to seventy years, a new book with the same handwriting will appear in front of the world, and the writings in it are all detached from the alchemical recognition at that time. know the limit."

She raised her head with serious eyes: "So I think that the goddess really exists."

For the first time in his life, Foster wants to applaud his arch-nemesis, which is convincing and convincing, so that atheists can feel the greatness of the goddess.

By the way, the goddess wrote so many books on alchemy?Why not write something about magic... Foster was lost in thought.

"Well...you're right," Merris nodded thoughtfully, and Felix hung on Merris' shoulders with a listless look, but the words he asked surprised people: "Those books, Did you bring it?"

Agnes' answer was also quite speechless: "I only brought the latest book."

"Show me."

"Find it yourself over there."

Felix slid off Merris' shoulders, walked to the pile of groceries with small steps, squatted down and searched, and sat cross-legged on the spot with a book in his hands to read after finding it.

Agnes silently glanced at this supposedly magician, unable to make any comments, so she pretended to be nonchalant and continued to Merris, "Accordingly, I agree to your request, and I can go with you to find the magician." Lord Nell's place."

"That's really great." Merris smiled kindly, put away the staff without asking why.

But Foster was not willing to let it go, he was shocked by Agnes's obedience, and couldn't help shouting: "Hey, at such an important moment for the country, you casually follow other people's orders to leave the palace, what are you doing?" mean?"

Agnes looked at him with an incomprehensible expression: "I don't obey orders from people other than the king and myself."

"Then why are you still helping them find the goddess!" Foster couldn't understand either.

"Because I've always wanted to see Lord Nell." Agnes said, pointing to the book being held in Felix's hands, her tone was a little excited: "You know what? This book has been out for nearly 80 years Yes! But the two goddesses still haven’t released a new book! Alchemists all over the continent are looking forward to it, but they just haven’t moved! My teacher is 76 years old, and I go to the temple every day to ask the priests for news about the goddess. As a Alchemist, there is an opportunity to meet one of the goddesses with my own eyes, why should I refuse?!"

Foster was overwhelmed by her momentum, hesitating: "Uh...then how do you ensure that they will lead you to Goddess Nell?"

Aigers pointed to Merris—the latter was already sitting in a row with Felix at this time, and the two of them were discussing something together with their heads together—and said a little strangely: "He is not you who used the amazing time magic A great magician summoned from 1000 years ago?"

Foster: "..."

------

Soon Eggs discovered what kind of virtue this "remarkable magician from 1000 years ago" was.

"Huh? Isn't the central temple here?"

The beautiful magician sat on the ground, his gorgeous robe spread out like petals, he looked up at Agnes, the words that should have been full of surprise came out of his mouth, and they were naturally taken for granted, as if he was the real magician. the right side.

"Of course not, the atmosphere in the capital is too impetuous, not suitable for the advanced training of gods and priests," Agnes explained, "They said so, I think it is probably because the capital's ore resources are too small, and those who are transported have to be prioritized. Used by the army, hey, if it wasn't for being this royal alchemist, I wouldn't be here either."

"So that's the case," Merris blinked. "Then why did Foster lie to me?"

Foster: "..."

He also really wanted to know why Agnes wanted to tell the truth, he was very tired!

He racked his brains, using all his talent for improvisation, and stammered, "I, uh... ah! That's it! I thought the central shrine would definitely be in the capital, after all, it's the center. Hahahaha , I’m a magician, how could I know so much about the goddess.”

Lamb and Agnes looked at him with contempt, but they didn't say anything to expose it.

Foster hadn't let go of his breath, and suddenly his hair stood on end—Felix raised his eyes from the book, and scanned him from bottom to top, and Merris also looked at him with disapproving eyes .

When he was about to start shaking his legs in anxiety, Merris frowned and said, "Don't pretend to understand what you don't understand. This will not help you grow, but will only make you ignore your own shortcomings."

Foster: "...Yes! You're right!"

The sense of responsibility as a teacher was present only for a moment, and then he stood up and dusted the dust with too graceful a movement - just a little, because Felix, who was buried in his book, stretched out a hand and slapped him. Snapping his fingers, he replaced the manpower with a simple and convenient cleaning spell—he asked Agnes directly: "Where is the central temple of Nefer?"

Agnes replied: "In Gargoyle."

Merris repeated: "Gergowa?"

Agnes suddenly felt a little worried about this unprepared cooperation. After all, the captain is such an unreliable person, but she still provided her information: "In the southeast of the mainland, the largest production area of ​​saltpeter is the second largest production area of ​​copper and iron. The middle of the big production area is nearly [-] miles away, and it takes about ten days to walk and four days to ride a horse. Do you know how to ride a horse?"

Lamb, Foster, and Merris nodded, and after the last one said, "Philly won't."

Felix, keeping his eyes on the book, bowed his head and nodded in agreement.

Agnes: "..."

"Okay, I have a solution for that. It's getting late today, so let's find a place to rest. Everyone is tired after so many things happened today." Merris forcibly changed the subject.

So many things are not all caused by the two of you! !

These are the words of Lamb and Foster from the bottom of their hearts.

"Then I'll write a letter to the king and tell him where I'm going next." Agnes spread her hands: "You can return the things to me."

"Well, it's great that you are willing to cooperate." Merris bowed and gave way to the pile of items.

Aggers looked at him suspiciously, because she really couldn't think of a reason why he trusted strangers so much, instead she always wondered if he was planning something else.

She walked towards her treasure pile step by step and turned her head three times. When she stood in front of her, she couldn't help asking: "Have I taken back everything?"

"Do what you want, this is what belongs to you." Merris smiled, eyes crooked, and Agnes couldn't help but admit: Even if she was cheated, she was cheated by such a sincere and handsome man, Not too bad.

When she leaned down and was about to put away her things, Felix, who had been focusing on the book and Merris, suddenly raised his head, and was staring at her with interest, looking at the skirt where the things were placed. .

Agnes: "..." A hooligan with an academic spirit is also a hooligan!Can you take your eyes off the girl's skirt!

Can this team be saved?The captain is a person who looks like he has nothing but his face and magic. Oh no, he can also ride a horse. One of the team members is a strong man with unknown professional ability, one is a useless colleague, and the other looks like he can help the captain. A magician who doesn't even want to take an extra needle.Can this kind of team really find the goddess? !

With her ingenuity and correct decision-making, the journey has been smooth and smooth, and now, for the first time in her life, Agnes has doubts about her decision.
