The magician from the time of peace

Isle of Cole is a remote, small and small island. Probably because of this, the residents on it have not been affected by the war, and they are unguarded against inexplicable strange "tourists", full of enthusiasm and sincerity.

The boatmen took them into the village, which is indeed a remote place, with wooden houses sparsely scattered in the weed-grown open space, and due to the humid air, every corner and corner is covered. Rotten and moldy black, most families only have a small piece of land, where they plant obscure crops perfunctorily, and the number of livestock is so small that they can be counted with one hand.

But at the end of the village, there stands a mysterious building that is incompatible with this sense of dilapidation. It is about 20 feet high and supported by four pillars surrounded by three people. It is not so much a house as a building with soft corners. square box.I can't tell what material the wall is made of, maybe it's stone, maybe it's metal, but in short it has a strong tolerance - on such an island, it still maintains a perfect pure white, even the delicate reliefs on it are Not a shred of wear and tear.

"You guys wait here, I'll go and ask if anyone is willing to lend you a house." The middle-aged boatman grinned, and didn't plan to take a few steps, so he was going to call everyone out on the spot.

"Wait!" Agnes hurriedly stopped him—she was pampered and didn't want to go into any house at all, she even preferred to sleep in the countryside!

"Could you please tell me what that is?" she asked, pointing to the white box in the distance.

"That?" The young boatman lowered his voice mysteriously: "That's the residence of—that—two—people!"

Originally, I thought that I would have to search for it after I landed on the island, but I didn’t expect that the final destination would be spread out in front of everyone. For a moment, Agnes felt a little unreal, and she followed the words of the young boatman and asked: "The two who is it?"

The young man suddenly became excited, his eyes sparkled: "Those two are two very, very good-looking girls!"

The three residents of this century leaned forward curiously, their eyes full of anticipation.

The young boatman was still at the age of only paying attention to the appearance of the opposite sex. That sentence was all the information he knew, but his back was numb from their substantive stares, so he could only add hesitantly: "Uh... they Two...beautiful, prettier than any woman on our island."

"anything else?"

"Well...their hair is blond and very long!" The young man frowns, his eyes turn wildly, and he suddenly glances at Meris, and suddenly gets inspiration and shouts: "Although they look different, they feel very similar to him ! As long as you meet him once, you will always remember that you met such a good-looking person!"

Merris was looking down at the flames he released, thoughtful, but unexpectedly being called by name, he raised his head and smiled casually: "Hehe, thank you."

The young man blushed inexplicably, shook his head quickly, and said, "Don't talk about those two, anyway, they may not come out once every few years, let's take you to the place where you live."

"Don't bother," Agnes pointed to the white cube at the end: "Go directly to that building, I'm very interested in it."

Before the boatmen could say anything, Merris, who had been serving as the background board, smiled and said, "Felly hasn't woken up yet. I think it's better for us to take a rest. What's your opinion?"

Of course, rush to the place where the goddess is to meet her immediately!I really want to run now, I don't want to wait a second! !The person I have been wanting to meet since I started learning alchemy is just 10 minutes away from me, and scratching my heart is not enough to describe my mood! ! !

Agnes thought so, but opened her mouth: "I think I should take a break, brother, please lead the way."

Foster and Lamb echoed.

At this time, the inner activities of the three of them were unexpectedly the same: this magician who never seemed to be angry, and was so gentle as hell, was actually more terrifying than his companion's cold eyes when his eyes were not smiling!

Merris was very satisfied with their uniform recognition, smiled slightly, and nodded to let the boatmen go ahead.

The two boatmen, who were not very familiar with the world, somehow realized at the same time that this blond young man with delicate and beautiful eyebrows and eyes was the leader of this group of distinguished guests.

------

Felix closed his eyes, with a light blue color under his eyes, lying on a wooden bed that creaked and squeaked when he moved, and Merris sat beside him holding his hand, while the other three stood beside him— —Who made this broken house not even have a chair.

"Well... when do you think he will wake up?" Foster asked after standing for a few minutes, unable to hold back the commotion in his heart.

Merris glanced at them sideways and smiled: "You want to see that big house, right? You don't have to wait for us, just go."

As soon as the words fell, the three of them rushed out like wild dogs that had been untied from the rope.

Merris bent his eyes at their backs, held Felix's hand and rubbed it a few times, and said softly, "Actually, I'm also a little curious...so you should wake up early."

------

As soon as Agnes and the others rushed out, they bumped into the boatman who hadn't gone far. Their plan to sail was interrupted by an unexpected visitor. They were about to take a day off. The middle-aged boatman had already returned home, leaving only the young boatman wandering around.

"Guests, where are you going?" The young boatman shouted happily. He still had a decent toll in his pocket, and he was full of enthusiasm for this group of distinguished guests.

"We want to go to that white building." Agnes said, because it was within their field of vision, she did not invite the native to lead the way.

But the young boatman followed up on his own: "Are the guests going to those two's house? Let me go with you. There are many rules there. I'm afraid that something will happen to you."

After staying in the palace for so long, how could we pay attention to the rules that the local people can abide by, Agnes thought silently, besides, even if the rules are violated, so what, the goddesses can still take her Fate?

The road in the small village is straight and flat, and it is not difficult to walk at all. If you look carefully, you will find that the lines on the road are not randomly distributed in nature, but are arranged deliberately, which looks delicate and pleasant.

"this road……?"

Before Agnes could finish asking, the young boatman took the lead: "Those two did it! I heard from my grandfather that they felt that the original road in the village would twist their feet if they walked too much. One day they repaired a road from their house to The road to the port, although I don’t feel much, but after 100 years, the road is still not broken, it’s amazing, isn’t it hahaha!”

"100 years..." Foster shrank his shoulders and asked, "Do you know how old 'those two' are?"

"I don't know!" The young boatman replied confidently: "But it looks like it! Let me tell you, they are really beautiful. I have only seen them a few times when I grew up, but I still remember when I was so excited. a feeling of."

Foster: "...Yeah, yeah."

Pious and pious believers don't want to hear an ignorant person tell his blasphemy against the goddess, although they have never even seen the goddess, and they have no right to laugh at other people's ignorance.

Fortunately, the road built by the Goddesses is amazing, it can compete with the red carpet road in front of the capital's royal palace. This kind of direct road to the destination didn't take long before they arrived in front of that wonderful building .

Standing under the high wall, they felt the ingenuity of the building up close. Lamb was attracted by the majestic relief on the wall, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to touch it: "In this kind of place, How can these sculptures be preserved so well, it is indeed—"

With a "snap", his hand was forcefully opened. Lamb frowned and looked at the boatman who was doing it, a little displeased, but before he could speak, the boatman said anxiously: "I knew it would be like this. Specially follow you!"

He opened his hands wide, blocking the front of the white wall: "Don't touch everything on this wall, because even if it breaks a little bit, those two will be angry!"

Lamb said: "How do you know they are angry, will they come out and scold you?"

The boatman shrugged his shoulders: "It's much more terrifying than this. They will randomly select people from the village to kill, and then hang the corpses in the middle of the village for public display."

Lamb: "..."

Agnes: "..."

Foster: "..."

"So you must not move around, or those two will blame you, and we will throw you into the sea to appease their anger." The boatman said seriously, with the simple cruelty of a barren land.

"Well... can I ask why they did this? It's just to damage the decoration, so it won't kill people..." Agnes was the first to regain her train of thought and asked.

"Because when they first came, everyone didn't understand the situation. Seeing that they built such a beautiful house, they couldn't help but go up and break a brick and put it home. My grandpa's grandpa's grandpa still has it back in my house. Brick, it’s still worthless after so many years, so beautiful!” The boatman smiled heartily: “Those two houses have been demolished several times by everyone. Although they have been warned many times, they are such beautiful girls. Who would be afraid of them, don't you think so?"

Agnes shook her head desperately.

"Anyway, you have to listen to the island's rules when you arrive on the island. There is no rule against damaging the houses of outsiders, so everyone ignored their warnings and went to steal their bricks when they were free." The boatman shrugged: "Then they Angry, they killed everyone who took their things on the last day, beheaded their bodies and threw them at everyone's door."

"Did you not resist?" Lamb asked, although the temperature on the island was not low, but he got goosebumps.

"Of course, then those who resisted were thrown back with their hands and feet cut off," the boatman smiled, as if telling a story, "then they were cut into several sections from head to toe, and after a long time of repeated tossing, no one ever If you dare to bully those two, the rules they set will become the rules of the island."

Agnes laughed a few times: "This is really a happy ending."

"Yes, yes!" The boatman actually agreed: "This matter has been written in the island annals. The first thing every generation of our children learns is not to provoke those two. In fact, those two are very good. He will teach us how to read and show us a few books with strange plot developments. Although he will ask us to write a review after reading, after a few years, he may also give us some rare things, which can be sold for a lot of money by merchant ships to the mainland. Let us have no worries about food and clothing for a long time."

"Yes, is it..." The corners of Agnes's mouth twitched. She felt that the goddess that this person said was completely inconsistent with the legendary image she had been listening to for so many years.

"You are here to see those two, so I'll leave first." The boatman waved his hand and finally warned: "Don't break their things! Even if you do, you must say If you are not a local, it has nothing to do with us!"

"Okay..." Agnes agreed weakly. She looked up at the building in front of her, and then at the knight and magician beside her, and read the same thoughts from their eyes: so scared, a little uncomfortable. Dare to knock on the door.
