After the Legend Chapter 48: New inventions and strange letters

In the center of the originally empty hall, a potion cooking table more than three meters long appeared in a semi-circle with four magic furnaces in the middle, and on the left are thousands of small test tubes and crystal bottles, which contained various potions , it seems to be very little, but judging from the amount of potion Sauron poured into the cauldron, these test tubes and bottles are also magic items with space extension spells; and on the right are all half-slap-sized drawers, There are various materials inside.

Sauron was cooking four pots of potion at the same time, but his movements were not chaotic. Minna watched his movements with some fascination, thinking about the clumsiness and confusion when making potions at home, and thinking about how Grandpa Sennett always walked away to do other things when he was cooking potions, and then occasionally missed the place to put the ingredients. Timing or forgetting what she was cooking... well, she admits that the grumpy potionist in front of her was in some ways better than that one.

The potion was ready soon, this time it was a little different from what she usually drinks, it was a pretty dark purple. Without saying a word, Sauron asked Minna to drink it, but she drank it, but fell asleep ten seconds later.

When she woke up, it was already night, Sauron hadn't left, or came back again. Xiao Tianjian brought white bread and boiled water for dinner. After she ate it, the taste was even more terrible. He fell asleep under the action of the potion.

Wake up again, it's still night, but it's been a day. Ming Na now fully understood that Sauron's potionist had actually let herself fall asleep on purpose. She complained to her grandfather angrily, Xiao Tianjian frowned after hearing this, "How could there be such a thing? That's too much. It's too much, I'm going to tell him." He often goes back to his house to take care of affairs these days, and sometimes he's not around his granddaughter, but he only knows that she often falls asleep. on purpose.

Ming Na watched her grandfather leave the room, and glanced at the bottle of gray-black potion on the bedside table with some pride, thinking: Now she shouldn't have to drink this disgusting thing again, right?

However, things backfired. When Xiao Tianjian returned to the room, he completely changed his attitude: "Xiao Mingna, for the sake of your body, please bear with me for a few days, it's just sleeping anyway."

Minna was discouraged: "Why?! Grandpa, I don't want to lie in bed all the time! I won't run around."

"But if you keep your body still, the potion will have the best effect. Okay, good medicine is bitter, you should be obedient." Xiao Tianjian picked up the bottle of potion and handed it to Ming Na, she I had to drink it with a bitter face. Xiao Tianjian smiled satisfactorily: "We Mingna are amazing! Let me tell you, the house has been cleaned up, and you have your own room. When you are healed, we will go back and live there. The scenery there is very good. And our own little pier."

Minna was very happy to hear that, but before she could say anything, she fell onto the pillow and fell asleep.

In this way, she woke up to eat and drink medicine, and then went back to sleep for seven days. When Sauron announced that Minna had fully recovered, she jumped on the bed a few times with excitement, and then jumped to the ground. Running around in the room. She has been sleeping for the past few days, her bones are sore, and she can finally move freely: "I'm going to play, I'm going to explore, and I have to eat a lot of meat!"

"You can play whatever you like. It's fine to eat whatever you want, but in two days, you have to come back here and drink medicine." When Sauron's cold words came, Ming Na suddenly stopped. , turned his head stiffly: "Why? Am I not okay?"

"Ask your old man to go." Sauron put away his wand and crystal medicine bottle, and casually brushed off the dust that may not exist on his clothes. The slightly upward arc of the corner of his mouth suggested that he was in a very happy mood now. .

Ming Na turned to her grandfather, the epic hero coughed lightly, and put on a gentle smile: "Little Ming Na, look, you are still young and have not undergone any systematic training, so your body is not strong enough. The ability to bear diseases, poisons, etc. is very poor. Grandpa thought about it and should find a way to improve your physique. Master Sauron is very enthusiastic and willing to help. It only takes a month, and you will no longer move. If you get sick, those ordinary poisons can no longer hurt you, and your body will be stronger, and it will be easier to learn swordsmanship, which is actually very beneficial, right?"

Sounds like this, but when Minna thinks of those horrible-smelling potions, she wants to back off: "Grandpa, I don't want to drink something so bad..."

"But after this month, you don't have to drink it anymore. Besides, this potion won't be very difficult to drink. I have already asked Master Sauron."

Ming Na thought for a while, then secretly glanced at the cold-faced potionist, and whispered to her grandfather, "Do you have to be that person? Can you find someone else? And it's been a long time..."

Xiao Tianjian glanced at Sauron, and lowered his voice: "I don't want to, but this kind of potion is very complicated to prepare, and it has to be adjusted every day according to the physical condition. Only a first-class potionist can prepare it. I The potionist I know, Lao Sen is not in the magic capital, and even if he is, he may not have the patience. Others are either working in the palace or busy with their own research. This is the only one who has the time and ability. Medicine can only be used once in a person's life, it is very precious, and grandpa spent a lot of money to persuade Sauron to agree."

Ming Na's eyes widened: "Grandpa, are you spending money indiscriminately again?"

"This is not spending money indiscriminately." Xiao Tianjian gently scratched his little granddaughter's nose, "And not only money, but also many precious herbs and magic materials, which I have collected over the years... The box of things brought out from the elf forest is also half divided for him."

"That's mine! Mine!" Minna shook her grandpa's arm in distress. Xiao Tianjian hurriedly reassured her: "The wool comes out of the sheep, and this is also for you. My good boy, I have already given him those things, and I can't get them back. Don't waste your grandfather's heart."

Ming Na looked at Sauron with a frown, and nodded in grievance.

In order to appease her, Xiao Tianjian told her some good news: "I already told Hanlin to help you make a space ring, but he said he couldn't make it so small, so he only promised to make you a bracelet, The storage space will be smaller. The materials have already been handed over to him, and it will take a month to wait. The time is just right, so let’s treat it as a birthday present.”

Ming Na turned her sadness into joy, and immediately took him to Hanlin and asked him what kind of bracelet he would make. If it wasn't for Grandpa's reminder, he almost forgot to say goodbye to Sauron, and the potionist snorted coldly. , turned his head proudly.

Han Lin was doing experiments in the basement, and he didn't come out to answer the door for a long time. When Xiao Tianjian was considering whether to break in, the door was opened first, and Han Lin walked out with a pale face, but his face was full of joy : "Success! I succeeded!"

"Uh...what did you do this time?" Xiao Tianjian asked.

Ming Na saw the magic stove she had seen that day on the laboratory table behind Hanlin, and asked, "Is that the stove?"

"That's right, it's the stove!" Hanlin took a round black sheet from the stove and showed them to them, only to see a pattern resembling a magic circle faintly engraved on it, "This is a magic circle for making broth. , just put it on the stovetop to make the ingredients into broth, and I still have several magic circles of different dishes. Try the soup I just made." He picked up a cauldron next to him, Opened the lid. Only then did Ming Na know that the steaming thing in the pot turned out to be broth, but why did it smell like no ordinary broth?

The grandfather and grandson both drank a sip of soup and stood there stunned. Hanlin asked excitedly, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Minna: "...no taste..."

Xiao Tianjian: "Didn't you put oil and salt?"

Hanlin: "Oil and salt? Do you want to put that? I don't have..."

Xiao Tianjian is speechless, and Ming Na is confused. It turns out that there are people who can't cook better than her, obviously an adult...

So, under the guidance of Xiao Tianjian, Hanlin found another crucible (Ming Na: "Hurry up and buy a cooking pot!"), put in water and raw meat, add oil, salt, Onions and several other spices (kindly provided by Xiao Tianjian) were placed on the magic stove. After three minutes of shaking the stove with the pot, the pot finally had a scent.

This time the experiment was a real success, Minna gave Hanlin a thumbs up while drinking the delicious soup. Han Lin laughed dryly, and approached Xiao Tianjian in a low voice: "Give me a copy of your recipe, and indicate the type of ingredients." Xiao Tianjian reluctantly agreed.

Then they experimented with the magic arrays of roasting meat, cooking rice, and frying fish. Except that the rice was a little bit raw due to the uncertainty of the heat, everything went well.

Sauron, who came in at an unknown time, was very interested in this new alchemy product and asked: "What is the principle of the magic circle? Can you make other dishes? It seems that the magic circle is carved on a black slate, it must be Do you want to use this material? With this, it seems that you can do it without a stove? Is the energy source spar or magic? Is the energy consumption large? Is the production cost high? Is there any limit to the material of the pot? There should be improvements Space..."

Hanlin fell into deep thought when he heard his words, but Xiao Tianjian was speechless: "Isn't it necessary? I think it is very rare for him to do this." It is similar to a microwave oven, and it has no radiation. It saves time and is environmentally friendly.

"You are wrong." Sauron retorted, "Since it is to be done, of course it must be done to perfection. If his stove is really easy to use, I will be the first to buy it." His butler's cooking skills were mediocre, He has endured for a long time.

So the potionist and the alchemist discussed with great interest, the former also enthusiastically suggested to the latter to make a magic stove recipe according to the precise principles of potion preparation, and determine the ingredients and ingredients required for various dishes. , so that everyone cooks delicious food.

Xiao Tianjian looked at the posture of the two and knew that it was impossible to discuss the matter of storing bracelets today, so he had to pull his granddaughter away. Ming Na had been nibbling on the fragrant barbecued meat and fried fish just now. It was not until her grandfather urged her that she reluctantly left the unfinished food and left Hanlin's house with him.

On the day she came to the Magic City, because it was night and she was sleepy, Ming Na didn't see the surrounding environment clearly, and only now did she see what the nearby streets looked like. Hanlin's small building is located on an inner street. The environment is quite quiet, surrounded by prosperous flowers and plants, and people in uniform dark green robes are specially responsible for taking care of it. Walking along the road to the main road, the number of pedestrians increased.

Minna watched with interest the big dog running on the road with a basket of food, and the large stack of books floating behind the woman in the khaki magic hat, and the unguarded man in the yard by the road. Baby, crawl a little further on the lawn, and a few vines will wrap around his feet and gently pull him back into position. She began to think that it would be a good thing to live in such an interesting place for a month.

Xiao Tianjian raised his hand and shouted "Magic Car", Ming Na found a strange looking "car" on the road on the right. It looked a bit like the boat they were on before, but there were two more rows of six wheels at the bottom. , The "cabin" part is a simple shed, and the wooden shelf supports the cloth of unknown material, which reflects the light slightly in the sunlight. At the front of the car sat a man with a swaying oars, dressed in ordinary Shaonan clothes, wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat, and holding a short cylinder in his mouth. When someone else blocked the way in front of the car, he would blow that something, screeching. There were several people in the car, both men and women.

Ming Na was wondering why Grandpa called the car over, the latter had already pulled her into the car, threw two copper coins into the box next to the driver, and found a seat and sat down. There were two people in the car who seemed to know Xiao Tianjian and nodded to him one after another. One of them, a middle-aged woman with a round face in a magician's robe, smiled and asked, "Count Xiao hasn't been back for a long time, are you going to stay this time? This is you. granddaughter?"

"Little granddaughter, I will stay here for a while with me." Xiao Tianjian replied with a smile, and asked his granddaughter to say hello to him. Ming Na obediently obeyed, and the other party smiled happily: "It's so cute, I also have a young daughter as big as you, come to play when you have time, my home is on Willow Street in the West District."

While we were talking, Willow Street arrived. The woman said goodbye and got out of the car. Ming Na sat with her grandfather for a while. The car came to the foot of the mountain along the curved Yanshan Avenue, and the grandfather and grandson got off the car.

This is a civilian area on the other side of the Magic City. Compared with the civilian area that Minna had seen before, the streets here are wider and the houses are more "normal". There are many shops, and people come and go. Wear beautiful clothes, mostly tulle, but also silk, and some people have embroidery on the corners of their clothes.

The more she looks, the more familiar this place seems to be. She seems to have been here before, but she has never been abroad before. While wondering, they turned into another street. Minna caught a glimpse of a roast chicken shop and an aunt selling sugar **** across the street, and suddenly remembered: "I have seen this street! The crooked room of Grandpa Sennett's house has A door is here!" She looked around excitedly, looking for the space door, but there was a tailor shop next to the aunt's stall, could it be somewhere else?

"Don't look for it, I can't find it." Xiao Tianjian persuaded his little granddaughter with a wry smile, "Old Sen's house does have a door leading to this place, but the place where the door is opened is not fixed every time. He wants to come easily, but If people here want to pass, they have to take luck, and no one has had such luck except himself. So, give up."

Ming Na was a little discouraged. If she could invite Grandpa Sennett, she might be able to suppress the arrogance of that Sauron potionist a little bit.

Xiao Tianjian's house is located on a roadside near the water, with the main entrance facing the street. On the second floor are two bedrooms, one large and one small, as well as a study room and a bathroom. There is a small backyard at the back of the house. The walls are covered with green vines and purple flowers are blooming. When you open the back door, you will see A stone step, below is a small pier, a sampan docked on the edge, floating up and down with the water.

Ming Na fell in love with this place almost immediately. Although this house is smaller than her home in Edun, the whole house is clean and tidy, with a warm smell. The small room on the second floor belongs to her. She has not had a room of her own for nearly a year. Looking at the bed cabinets, tables and chairs that are a little smaller than normal in the room, she knows that it is specially prepared for children. . Ming Na happily threw herself on the soft bed, rolled around with the big pillow in her arms, found a snack box on the bedside cabinet, picked a candy to contain it, and ran downstairs: "Grandpa, everything in my room belongs to me. Do I care? Is it possible that I can do whatever I want?"

Xiao Tianjian was sitting in the living room, frowning at a letter, as if thinking about something. Minna walked over curiously and glanced at the envelope: "Huh? Is it a letter from Idong? What did the letter say? How are my parents? How are Grandpa Marshall and Winnie?"

Xiao Tianjian twitched the corners of his mouth: "They are all healthy, Marshall is no longer in Edinburgh, your mother went back once, took him back to Matt, and then went to Yidong. But your parents had a quarrel at the beginning of the year. Fight, now your mother lives in her parents' house, Marshall stayed with your father in Idong~IndoMTL.com~ ah? You quarreled again?" Ming Na reached out and grabbed the letter, "Let me see, what happened? thing?"

Xiao Tianjian pretended to open his granddaughter unintentionally, put away the letter, and stuffed it into his pocket together with the envelope: "The letter was not written by your father, but by your uncle, so I just mentioned these few words. .Your uncle just wanted to tell me that Bevin just passed the apprentice knight exam and is about to enter the knight academy, and he specially announced to me the good news."

"Apprentice knight?!" Minna exclaimed, "But brother Bevan is only six years older than me! He is... thirteen years old this year, can he be a knight even at such a young age?"

Xiao Tianjian smiled: "It's just an apprentice knight, just like an apprentice, but he is indeed a little young. Bevan is the youngest apprentice knight in East's history."

Ming Na sighed: "It's amazing..." She remembered the potion she was about to drink, and she secretly made up her mind: Since Brother Hall, who has learned swordsmanship from his grandfather for six years, is so powerful, then he can't be too bad. It's far away, after the physique improves, you must learn swordsmanship well, and when you grow up, you must become a master.

Xiao Tianjian didn't know what his little granddaughter was thinking, he just got up and walked out: "Are you hungry? I'll go buy some food and come back, you wait for me at home, don't run around."

Ming Na responded loudly and watched her grandfather disappear outside the door. She was about to go upstairs to go back to the room, but suddenly remembered that the signature on the envelope was clearly the headquarters of the Yidong Xiao family business, why did grandpa say it was a big Uncle wrote it? Also, she remembered that there was bread and meat in the kitchen. Why did Grandpa go out to buy food?

Thinking of Grandpa's frown just now, she suddenly felt a little uneasy.

(I am about to jump to the new year, it is estimated that it will be two or three years later...)
