She Is Not a Witch Chapter 128: Southern Islands
Three days ago, the Southern Islands, Red Bay Bay.
Although autumn has entered on the mainland, the islands in the south are still warm. The white sandy beaches are covered with light blue and clear water, and underwater shells can still be clearly seen in the afternoon sun.
The inside of the shell is white, and the outside is a rose-like light red, like an undulating shell, with different shades and looks very beautiful.
In the early years, this island got its name because it abounds in this light red shell. Later, because of its good location, it became an important transit point in the western part of the Southern Islands.
There are not only many ports on the island, but also a large flow of people. There are also rows of white houses on the quieter north side of the hill. The sea breeze blows directly. There are also many coconut trees planted around the house, which can be regarded as a common cash crop in the area.
In a larger house, Mrs. Barya is sitting at the table teaching the children. She is holding a storybook in her hand with beautiful color drawings. Next to him sits Yige, who is Ann. The little boy Gus had commissioned.
He opened his eyes to look at the colorful drawings, and heard his mother read:
"Then the girl in the black skirt lit the candle in her hand."
"She said to the boy, even so do you want to resurrect your parents?"
"Yes, I’m all to blame. That day was too willful, and I couldn’t say goodbye to them until the end. I want to see them again."
"So the candle in the girl's hand burned, and two figures appeared in front of the boy. They smiled and welcomed the return of the child."
"In this way, the boy hugged his parents and fell asleep in their arms forever, and never woke up again."
"Okay, the story is over here. Ignatius, do you understand anything from this story?"
Mrs. Barya smiled and stroked the child's head. Compared to before, she looked like a different person, with a calm look and loving eyes, and even the chestnut hair became shiny
"Um...I don't understand, but the ending doesn't seem to be good."
"Yes, this story is to tell us that we must cherish the people and things in front of us, and don't wait until we lose them to regret."
"The closest ones are often the ones most easily forgotten."
"Well, I see, Mom." Ignatius nodded.
"Okay, Ignatius. In fact, this story also metaphors some things, that is, parents will eventually get old and leave their children, and you must eventually learn to face everything, remember not to be like the boy in the book Indulge in the illusion of the past."
"Will mother get old too?"
"Yes, so Yige has to grow up quickly."
"I will."
Just then the door was pushed open, the white sunlight came in in the afternoon, a tall figure appeared at the door, he walked in, and then spoke.
"Excuse me, Mrs. Barya, and Ignatius."
"Ah, it's Uncle Ceres, you are here."
The little boy ran over. Seres often brought something to the mother and child, and he lived not far from here.
"Mr. Serres?"
Mrs. Barya stood up and said hello. She is still very grateful to her husband and comrade. She has helped her a lot recently. Finding a house, placing furniture, and asking teachers are all handled by the original housekeeper. .
"Well, it's me." Ceres squatted down and hugged Ignatius, and then responded to Mrs. Barya's greeting.
"I have something to say today. I will leave Hongbei Bay for a while. When I am away, if Mrs. Barya or Little Yige have any difficulties, you can directly contact the fruit shop opposite. "
"The store manager and employees are all members of our Calitis Chamber of Commerce. I have already agreed with them in advance. If necessary, they will definitely help you."
"Okay, thank you, and Miss Lacey of Calites."
Mrs. Barya bowed gently and said thankfully.
"Where are you going, will it be dangerous?"
"On the other islands in the southern archipelago, if it is dangerous, I am fine, but I am a little worried about Missy."
Ceres sighed, then bid farewell to leave.
--------------
The next day, engrave the blue island.
The tide water from the seaside is constantly washing the coast, beating against the blue reefs on the shore. There are many holes in the reefs, which are moistened by super water. There are a few seabirds occasionally standing on the delicate rocks, some of them are still in their mouths. With small fish.
The island is densely forested, among the verdant canopies there are some tall towers protruding from the forest, overlooking the whole island.
Ceres sits outside a luxurious and low-key mahogany door, waiting patiently.
An apprentice mage opened the door. He was wearing a light blue mage robe with a blue gradual feather headdress on his head.
"Master Geodor has agreed to your request. Please follow along. Don't scream or touch anything when you see it on the road."
"I understand." Ceres got up and followed, entering the gate.
The sun shines into the room from the thick glass. The stack of books, copper-colored cages, and the experimental equipment placed in the room is very quiet.
"Fool, Vincent, fool, Vincent." A strange voice suddenly sounded above his head.
Ceres looked up and found a blue bird standing in the cage, talking.
"Don't worry about him, he will only say this." The apprentice in front explained.
"Fool, Vincent, the other party just treats you as a puppy, and you follow behind and wag your tail every day."
Ceres looked at the bird again. Is this a monster? It's so smart, and it's a metaphor.
"Shut up!"
The apprentice in front was a little bit nervous, and directly a silent enchantment, so that the bird could not make a sound.
But this bird is really smart. It hopped around and flapped its wings to break the barrier, and then made a sound again.
"Trash, Vincent, I don't even dare to kill chickens, trash Vincent."
The apprentice in front of him brows, walks quickly, and never speaks again.
Ceres did not dare to speak at will, for fear of arousing disgust from the apprentice. Although the apprentice mage is not strong, if he wants to stumble himself, it shouldn't be too easy.
"Here." The apprentice in front stopped and knocked on the door.
"Please come in." A healthy voice came from behind the door.
Ceres went in. A mage was sitting behind his desk. The sun shot down from a high window behind him, and he couldn't see his face for a while.
"You are Mr. Ceres, the representative of Calides."
"Yes, it is here, on behalf of the successor of the Calides Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Lacie."
"Well, please sit down."
The Mage Geodor spoke.
"I have seen the letter you handed me and the application to the council. I discussed this with my colleagues yesterday."
"Although most of the description in the letter is true, it can correspond to the information we know."
"But there are still some key things that need to be verified, because once we are dispatched, we are destined to touch the interests of Xuehua United."
"This will undoubtedly break a lot of things, such as our previous position and the future situation."
"I understand what you said, this is something I prepared in advance."
Ceres took out the document bag under his arm, which contained not only the official agreement document of Calites, but also the letter of introduction by Mr. Jerlink from the Jagertylin family, and the suicide note left by Angus.
After giving all these to the opposite wizard, he began to check them one by one, such as the pattern on the contract paper, the extraordinary mark, and the content of the agreement.
After a long time, he raised his head, and the healthy mage pushed his eyes and said.
"You are fully prepared. Although the agreement does not benefit us much, it is above the bottom line that we recognize."
"I have to say that Angus did find a good heir."
"Thank you for your compliment."
"It's nothing,"
"After that, I will present these materials and proposals at the meeting, and after discussions among the members, I will decide whether to implement it."
"How long will it take?" Ceres was a little anxious, after all, the situation was already very tense.
"Don't worry, there will be a meeting this afternoon. After the decision is made, it will be implemented tomorrow."
"Is it okay tonight?" Seres asked again.
The old mage knocked on the table and answered.
"It seems you are in a hurry."
"Also, I will urge the relevant personnel."
"Thank you very much, Master Geodor~IndoMTL.com~Carrites Chamber of Commerce and I will remember your kindness." Ceres finally breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him loudly.
"It doesn’t have to be this way, it can be regarded as a return to Mr. Angus. The materials and ancient instruments he gave us in the past have changed a lot, which has greatly benefited the entire country. The previous payment to him was still too small. , It's also a remedy."
That afternoon, Seres had been walking in front of a tall building.
At dusk, under a huge stone pillar nearly a hundred meters high, a huge door for twenty people to pass side by side opened. Each and every wizard dressed in various dresses filed out. They were decorated with various decorations, but they were all biased. Natural styles, such as feathers, branches and leaves, shells, flowers, fur, wood carvings, etc.
At this time Seres finally waited for Master Geodor. He walked behind, with short black hair, calm and relaxed.
After seeing Seres, he was not surprised, but spoke.
"Greetings to the new master of Calites, Miss Lacey, the first stage of assistance to the Hinayue Council and the Cranberry Kingdom will start tonight."
Ceres expressed his gratitude with excitement, and then that night, he was taken to another island by several wizards.
This island looks a bit wild. It's a volcanic island with black smoke in the center, and the island is full of scorching heat.
"Are you going back to Hopelander with you?" a mage asked.
"Yes, so some things can be better communicated."
"Okay, now you are sitting firmly."
As the mage's voice fell, a huge black shadow slowly fell with its wings flapping and stopped in front of him, and then more flapping wings came from the sky.
