After the Legend Chapter 19: The secret behind the door
The door was not locked, Minna only twisted it lightly, and the doorknob flashed a silver light and opened.
It really is a lively street outside the door. Many people come and go, and there are a variety of goods. Vendors set up stalls on the street, shop clerks are enthusiastically inviting customers to enter the door, and occasionally a few children run past laughing, just It is no different from a common commercial street. If there is any difference, it is probably that the clothes worn by the people on the street are different from what Ming Na usually sees. They are thin but brightly colored, with many tulle and embroidery, and occasionally a few wearing robes with pointed tips. Men and women with hats passed by, and the pointed hats, she remembered that old Sennett occasionally wore similar styles.
What is this place? She clearly remembered that there was only a small piece of grass behind the house, and then there was the mountain wall. Why did the street suddenly appear? And today is obviously cloudy, why is the sun so bright on this street? Although she has heard that some potions can cause hallucinations, this is true. There are stone steps under her feet. When you step on them, you can feel that they are hard and will slap your feet; it is more than a meter away from her. On the street, an old lady who sold sugar **** greeted her: "Child, would you like to try some delicious sugar balls?"
The sugar **** failed to catch her attention as she smelled a strong aroma from across the street, exactly the smell of her favorite roast chicken legs, which she hadn't eaten in ten days. Feeling the small pocket on her body, there was a silver coin and ten copper plates in it. Marshall quietly stuffed it into her pocket when she went out. It was enough to eat several drumsticks. She looked at the store opposite and decided to go over and buy two. No, three, by the way, let Grandpa and Grandpa Sennet also taste it. As for Uncle Pretty, he doesn't eat meat.
She just walked down two steps when she was stopped: "Ming-na-" She heard the voice of the old magician, but it sounded a little slow, she turned around and laughed and said, " Grandpa Sennett," and was stunned. The room she had just walked out of was already pitch black. In the darkness, only a small nose, a forehead, two lips and a pink beard were exposed. The lips were slowly opening and closing, looking a little terrifying. took a step back.
The old magician's voice sounded again, this time a little faster: "Don't-move-fast-re-come--" At this time, a hand was slowly stretched out in the darkness, and He grabbed Minna and pulled her back. Minna was a little scared at first, but she felt that Sennett would not hurt herself, so she didn't break away. She only felt that her eyes were gradually darkening, but it soon lit up again. She was already in a crooked room. It was the beautiful half-elf who had just caught her. let go.
Sennet closed the door quickly, greatly relieved, and said very seriously to Minna, "Son, didn't I say you can't go upstairs? How did you come up? Fortunately, Keith found out early, otherwise Terrible."
Minna smiled and apologized: "I'm sorry, Grandpa Sennett, I'm just curious. What was that place just now? Why is there a street over the door?"
Sennett's eyes flickered: "Uh...that place is not here...you know...it's inconvenient to travel here, but sometimes, there is always an urgent need for certain materials...It's just a little trick, a little trick..." He quickly put on a serious look: "In short, you are not allowed to come again, fortunately you didn't really go out just now, otherwise you would be lost in a foreign country alone, and even if we wanted to find you, we might not be able to find you. "
"No." Ming Na blushed, "I just wanted to go across the street...to see..."
"As soon as you let go of the doorknob, the door disappears, it's not always in the same place," muttered Sennett, "I can't find the door back sometimes, last time. I was left at Westside, and I came back after a full month of walking. The concoction I was cooking had dried up early, and the pot was fried... If it wasn't for Keith to inform me today, I wouldn't know, little girl, You were almost lost in Shaonan and couldn't be found..."
Ming Na half understood what she heard, but only vaguely understood that if she walked out of the street just now, she would not be able to come back, and she was a little scared, but she was still curious: "Grandpa Sennett, there are people outside those doors. What kind of place is it?"
"It's all the places I go to..." Sennet suddenly stopped and turned to stare at Minna, "Why should I tell you? Little girl, I repeat, don't go to the crooked room again. 'Come!"
He decisively pulled the child out of the room, and when Keith, the half-elf, came out, he closed the door, tapped the doorknob with his wand a few times, his face relaxed: "That's it, go back to buy materials I forgot to lock it, now it's safe."
Minna poked at the door in disappointment, and sure enough it was that soft, transparent compartment again, knowing that she could never get in again. She couldn't help complaining: "You haven't cast a spell before, why do you want to cast it now? I won't go out of those doors." At most, she opened it to see what it was like outside.
But Sennett is serious on this issue: "This is the only way to be safe. I didn't cast a spell before because no one else could get in except me. If it was your grandfather and Keith, this door would never be opened. Yes!"
What does it mean? Ming Na was about to ask, but Xiao Tianjian's voice came from downstairs: "Old Sen! Where are you? Come back!" The old magician hurried away after hearing this, leaving only Ming Na and the half-elf in front of the door. look on in despair.
The work of the two grandfathers is obviously at an important time. If it wasn't for the interruption of the half-elf Keith, Sennett would never leave the small room, so Xiao Tianjian didn't hear about what happened to his little granddaughter until dinner. He sternly said to the child: "Xiao Mingna, I will encounter this kind of thing in the future, such as unreasonable doors, rooms, never open it casually, it is very dangerous. Grandpa once saw someone open a strange door with his own eyes. The door was blown away by the tornado inside, and his whereabouts are still unknown. Those magic-related doors and windows often lead to strange places, so don't be reckless."
Minna nodded hesitantly and asked inexplicably, "But why? Why does the room upstairs lead to something else?"
"That is probably a kind of space magic, it seems to be called space door? The 'skewing room' is not really upstairs, but a special space, and those doors can lead to other But the location is different every time, and to be honest, I don't know the specifics."
"Space magic? What kind of magic is that?"
"You don't know space magic?" Sennet couldn't help but interject, "This is magic common sense, just like your grandpa's storage ring, which is a type of space magic." This is what magic beginners should expect Although there are not many people who have mastered the basic theory, there are very few people who do not even know common sense. The old magician began to reflect on himself, as Ming Na's guide on the magic road, is it too derelict? Even these basic knowledge were not taught to her.
Speaking of which, in the past ten days, in addition to instructing Ming Na on her homework every day, he spent most of the time doing "that kind of thing" with Xiao Tianjian. It was true that he did not seriously teach his children any knowledge. He taught only the method of meditation, the distinction and main functions of dozens of potions, and the making of cold medicine. As for the basic theory, he just took out a book for the children to read. But this is not enough. Ming Na is just a child and has no patience. If she is asked to read a brick-sized textbook on magic theory, she may be more interested in exploring and playing. Neither he nor Xiao Tianjian noticed this, so they The result is that the child lacks common sense.
This made Sennett very ashamed and decided to spend more time teaching Minna. He told Minna the basic theories of the eight magic systems of water, fire, wind, earth, wood, light, darkness, and space, as well as the release methods of the basic magic of water and light. He also taught her to identify more magic materials, and personally Demonstrates the production process of several magic potions.
With the teacher's guidance, Ming Na has made great progress. By the time she has been here for a month, she has been able to emit five or six water balloons the size of thumb caps, and her illumination technique can illuminate a palm-sized area. (Although it only lasted for ten seconds), as for potions, she knew more than 100 magic materials and prepared the first potion.
These successes have greatly increased Ming Na's interest in magic, probably because she has already felt the situation around here, and there is nothing else for her to explore, so she spends most of her time It's all about learning magic and potions.
She was making a fever potion in front of the fireplace that day. This is the third potion she has learned. She is very confident that she will succeed this time.
Just as she was staring at the changes in the liquid in the cauldron, and was about to throw new materials into it, there was a sudden explosion in the small room on the right, and the whole house shook. Ming Na didn't stand up for a while and sat down on the ground.
What happened?
When the shaking stopped, she saw a burst of black smoke coming out of the door of the small room. She looked up to see Keith, the half-elf, and wondered what he was doing, but she heard a thud behind her.
It turns out that Keith was trying to save her. Ming Na smiled and thanked the half-elf, but the other party just glanced at her lightly, then put out the fire, left the words "wait here", and walked to the small room.
Before he could get close, the door slammed open, and two human-shaped black charcoal came out, both Minna and Keith were taken aback.
On a closer look, Xiao Tianjian's clothes were all burned to tatters, his face and hands were full of burns, and half of his hair was burned off. And Sennett was even worse. There was only a brim left in his hat, more than a dozen blisters grew on his face, and his entire beard was gone. Only a few pink hairs were hanging there half-stick, and his robes were also untouched. One sleeve is missing.
Ming Na screamed "Grandpa" in fright, but Xiao Tianjian just waved his hand nonchalantly, glanced at Sennet, and suddenly burst out laughing. Sennett wiped his chin and smiled. The two old men laughed at each other for a long time, until Minna and Keith were confused, and finally Keith got angry and asked gloomily, "What happened? Why did it explode?!"
Sennet stopped laughing, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes—and the mucus, and said with a smile: "It takes an explosion to succeed. We've always prevented it from exploding, so every time it fails, it finally succeeds this time."
"That's right, I finally succeeded." Xiao Tianjian sighed with a smile, "It's not easy after 20 years of waiting. Now I have the face to go back to the Elf Forest to see my old friends."
"The Elf Forest?" Keith raised an eyebrow.
Minna also asked: "Grandpa, what are you doing with Grandpa Sennett? Why wait for twenty years?"
Xiao Tianjian patted his granddaughter's head and said to Keith, "You're a half-elf, maybe you've heard of it? The Elf City is located in the northern part of the forest, near the northern snowfield. More than 20 years ago, there was a group of snowfields. The monsters broke through the barrier and broke into the forest, causing heavy casualties for the elves. When I was there, when I was helping to destroy the monsters, I was careless and let them escape. In order to avoid further casualties, the Elf Queen ordered to abandon the Elf City and retreat to the forest Living in the South Central. In order to make up for the mistakes I made, I have been looking for a way to deal with monsters in the snow field for 20 years, and finally I found a fire poison~IndoMTL.com~ that can corrode the internal organs of monsters. I collected A lot of materials, aggravate the toxicity of fire poison, and attacking monsters with arrows covered with this poisonous juice will definitely kill them."
Keith sneered: "It's a good idea, but you seem to have forgotten that the shell of the monsters in the snowfield is very strong, and ordinary arrows can't damage them at all. If you can't shoot these poisonous juices into the body of the monsters What's the use of it?"
"So I prepared this." Xiao Tianjian flipped his palms and took out a steel arrow, "This is made by my dwarf friends. It is made of steel and is one of the hardest weapons in the world. I have tried it, and even the shells of demonic creatures can't resist, so it is no problem to deal with monsters. I have a whole hundred here, which should be enough."
"How do you know enough? That was 20 years ago, didn't it? Maybe the number of those monsters has increased again? The mistakes of 20 years ago, you will only make up for it 20 years later, don't you think? Isn't it too late?" Keith was still cold.
Xiao Tianjian still had a smile on his face: "If magical beasts were so easy to reproduce, they would be rotten by now. As for time, for elves who can live for thousands of years at every turn, these 20 years are equivalent to one of our human beings. Years, what is it? I haven’t been idle in the past 20 years. If it hadn’t been that long, many materials would not be able to collect enough weight. If it was replaced by someone else, they might not have the patience.”
Keith stared at him for a moment, smiled sarcastically, and turned away. Ming Na looked at his back, full of doubts, the beautiful Uncle Keith seemed to dislike Grandpa very much, why?
