my age of magic

Chapter 942 43. Island Anecdotes
The blue sea, the blue sky, the clear sky, and the white clouds and mountains piled up on the horizon.

We were taken to a small island in a small boat. This island doesn’t look very big. It looks like a coral reef that has accumulated countless fine sands. The island has been formed after many years, not to mention the mountains, even if it is undulating. There are no hills, and it looks like a large dense forest from a distance.

There are coconut trees and palm trees all over the island, and a simple pier is built by the sea. A group of people are touching shells in the shallow sea. When they saw the boat, they waved to us. This shallow sea area is very large, the sea water is very clear, and the seabed Covered with soft fine sand, white jellyfish floating in the water, small silver transparent fish shuttle in the water, it looks like a paradise.

Smoke rises from the woods, and at the edge of the woods, you can also see some simple shacks built against the trees. Outside the shacks are some iron pots, straw mats, fishing nets, sackcloth, and various dried fish on wooden racks. , There are some coconut shells hanging under the tree. Those coconut shells tied to the rope hang down from the tree and shake with the wind. It doesn't seem to be useful, just like a string of wind chimes.

However, under the scorching sun, the taste of soaking in seawater to pick up shells should not be very pleasant. Seeing a young man soaking in seawater straighten his waist, he hesitated for a while, and took off the coconut shell around his waist. He moved to his mouth and took a sip of water, then carefully stuffed the cork and hung it on his waist. He raised his head, looked at the scorching sun hanging high in the sky, and pursed his lips.

There are also people who boil sea water by the sea, presumably to boil salt.

"Are these people from Connerson Island?" I asked the sailor at the oars, sitting in the dinghy.

"En!" The sailor's naked upper body became dark under the scorching sun, his lips were a bit thick, his eyes were black and white, he had short shaved hair, and he was not good at talking. There are knife marks on his ribs, and he looks like a veteran.

Some residents were sitting on the beach under the coconut trees. When they saw a boat approaching, they ran out from the shade of the trees and went to the pier to catch the ropes thrown by the sailors. on the stump.

The weather here is hot, and the residents on the island are very coolly dressed. The men are basically linen beach shorts, with bare upper body and tanned skin.

The women wore grass skirts or canvas tube skirts, with a chest cloth wrapped around their chests, and some girls covered their chests with two scallop shells, and two small pieces of cloth hung on the strings around their waists. People came and quickly hid in the woods.

The children on the island are playing a game called 'diving' on the other side of the pier. From time to time, there are splashes of water and laughter. I don't know who is a hero and who is a coward among these children.

While we jumped onto the pier one by one from the small boat, those people all surrounded us and asked us, "Where are you from? Are you also a resident of Connerson?"

"How come I've never seen you?"

"How is Connerson Island now?"

These residents surrounded us on the pier, their eyes full of expectation, but the few of us were speechless.

We are not from Connerson Island, so naturally we can't answer their questions, but seeing their expectant eyes, we can't bear to say that we don't know anything.

The sailor finally jumped from the skiff onto the pier and stepped forward to push back the crowd that was crowding the pier.

He said to these people: "Let's make room, these are Earl Evan's guests, and they didn't come from Connerson Island."

"Did Captain Just bring back herbs from Connerson this time?" A woman's voice came from behind the crowd.

At this time, those people stood slightly on both sides of the wooden pier, leaving a path in the middle, and a woman in a long linen dress came out. There were no traces of time on her face, but Her eyes were full of wisdom, and she looked us up and down, showing surprise, and said, "Are you magicians?"

Noah stood at the front and nodded slightly to the woman.

The woman's appearance is not outstanding, but she has a unique charm. The islanders on both sides seem to look up to the woman in front of her.She looked at Noah's badge, the pupils in her eyes shrank slightly, and asked Noah again: "You mean a member of the Mensa family?"

"I'm Noah Mensa, and Louis is my brother." Noah said to the woman.

The woman didn't ask any questions, and she didn't reveal her identity. She just turned around and left silently from the pier, and didn't ask any more questions about the magic herbs. The islanders also followed the woman and dispersed.

We were led by the sailors into the coconut grove, and it was obviously much cooler in the grove.

Walking into the coconut grove, I found that the simple wooden houses inside were all built on trees. Looking at the dark faces protruding from the wooden houses, I didn't expect that there were so many people living in the woods. good.

The sailor took us to a more spacious tree house, where there was a small glade, the sand was covered with some clean palm leaves, and the middle was full of green bananas, pineapples and a few green coconuts.

Several girls in canvas tube skirts came over with a few coconuts in their arms. The top of the coconut shell had been cut open by a machete, exposing the coconut juice inside.

Yingli, Helena, and Becky were very familiar with coconuts, and after taking the coconuts, they still commented on the quality of the coconuts in a low voice.

Shirley Newman was born in Bena Province, where coconuts are not produced, but this does not mean that Shirley does not know this thing, but she is standing beside Noah, but she is not in a hurry to taste coconut juice.

Miss Cherry on the side held the coconut in her hand, watched the women of Yingli drinking coconut juice with curiosity, and followed their example, tasting this sweet natural drink.

Being able to drink a bowl of cool coconut juice in such hot weather feels very good, but the only thing that is not pleasant is that all of this is done under the watchful eyes.

When I threw away the coconut shell in my hand, I discovered one thing, that is, these coconuts are quite attractive to the islanders, because I found that when they watched us drinking coconut juice, they also secretly swallowed their saliva. .

Not only that, they looked at us pouring out the clean water from the water bag to wash our hands, and they almost regarded us as enemies.

A few naked little black children squatted under the coconut tree and looked at us quietly. When we threw away the coconut shells after drinking the coconut milk, their eyes fell on those empty coconut shells .

Then a group of us sat around on the palm leaves in the glade, and I couldn't help asking curiously to the sailor who entertained us: "Is life here difficult?"

"Everything is fine, but the water resources need to be controlled. There is no fresh water on this island. All the water is distilled. There are too many people. There is only one distiller. Even if you burn sea water day and night, it is not enough. Yes." The sailor sat down against the coconut tree, resting his head on the trunk, picked up a coconut shell from which we drank the dried coconut juice, took out a knife from his waist to break the coconut shell, and handed it to the tree to wait quietly. of those children.

The children cheered, rushed over, grabbed the coconut shell in the sailor's hand, snatched a piece, and stuffed the juicy coconut meat inside with their small hands. The sailor's eyes were gentle, Watching the group of children patiently.

"Aren't there coconuts on the island?" I asked him.

The sailor was a little hesitant, but he still told the truth: "It was all eaten up, and when we found out that there was a shortage of water, there was not much left. These were specially reserved by Earl Evan to entertain all distinguished guests."

The sailor added: "There are too many people here, and the island is not enough to support so many people."

"So... people here always hide in the shade or in wooden houses, not for other reasons, but because they are worried about sweating too much and losing too much water, because there is no sufficient fresh water on the island?" I asked. Ask the sailor.

The sailor nodded awkwardly, perhaps in slight embarrassment.

"But why didn't you say it earlier?" Noah said speechlessly: "When you saw us, why didn't you just tell us your difficulties?"

The sailor looked at Noah with a look of innocence and bewilderment, not understanding why Noah looked so angry.

"We are magicians!" Noah said to the sailor.

"Earl Evan said that you are... a fire magician!" Said the sailor with a simple and honest face.

"Don't you know that there is a magical thing in the hands of magicians called 'magic scrolls'?" As he said, Noah stood up, looked at me, and took out a "water gathering spell" from his arms. "The magic scroll was attached to the trunk of a coconut tree. The things that can make the magic scroll stick firmly to the trunk are four small thumbtacks. I didn't expect that Noah could carry this thing with him.

The magic circle on the magic scroll slowly rotated, quickly condensing water vapor, and after a while, a clear spring flowed down the tree trunk.

Those children stared at this magical trick without blinking their eyes. When they realized that there was clear water flowing from the tree, they all cheered and gathered around. One very courageous child leaned his head closer and stuck out his tongue. After licking it, his eyes lit up instantly, his mouth split open to reveal the missing teeth, and he shouted loudly: "It's sweet, this water is sweet!"

Another child stretched out his head, and the clear water was poured on top of his head. He stretched out his small hand to hold the water, and poured it into his mouth desperately.

It was like a person who had been hungry for three days and three nights suddenly saw a steamed bun and wished he could put the steamed bun in his stomach.

"Creating water, for us, is just the simplest magic!" Noah said to the excited sailor.

We did not expect that the biggest problem on the island was the lack of water. We watched the residents living on the island line up in a long queue, silently receiving a glass of water, pouring it down their stomachs, and then quickly ran to the end of the queue. , and restart the queue.

I believe that it won't be long before these people drink a lot of water and they won't be like this.

We waited for Earl Evan on the island, but we didn't see him come after waiting for a long time. It seems that Earl Evan has a lot of daily affairs.

Yingli secretly tugged at the corner of my clothes behind me, I turned my head, she looked around strangely, I immediately understood that she wanted to go around the island, the island has very beautiful scenery, The sea water is also clear and blue, and has a long coastline composed of soft sandy beaches. The scenery is better than the city of Ilinas in the Emerald Bay.

I asked the sailor if he could walk around the island.

The sailor said happily: "Of course."

And asked me: Do I need to find a guide.

Of course I shook my head and refused. Even Noah wanted to follow, but I blocked him. I pointed to the other side of the coconut grove and said to him: You should take Shirley over there.

……

I rolled up my bloomers and stood barefoot in the sea, feeling the warm sea kissing my feet.

In the distant sea, three girls, Yingli, Helena, and Becky, showed their beautiful swimming postures. They all like swimming very much, and their water skills are also very good. Watching the three girls float and sink in the sea water makes me feel Thinking of those days in El City.

At that time, I just met Ying Li not long ago, and I only had some faint feelings for her. I just felt that this girl was very special and had a unique temperament on her body, which could make my heart quiet. Then something happened. , I chased them to the Benma River in a carriage, only to find that they skipped class and ran to the river to swim.

"Jijia!" Becky emerged from the sea and waved to me.

In the sea, she looked extraordinarily bold, and her smooth arms looked so white under the glare of the sun.

Deborah spread her wings and stood barefoot by the sea. She held up her long skirt and hesitated to step into the sea. I stretched out a hand to her from a distance, and she seemed to have a feeling in her heart. He looked up at me and saw me stretching out his hand to invite, a bright smile appeared on his innocent face, he stretched out his long skirt, stepped into the sea without hesitation, and ran towards me cheerfully.

Today, she has been able to fully control her current body, a pair of wings can be retracted freely, and she can also master the sense of balance when running. She is improving every day and can discover something new every day. She is born with inexplicable wind elements. The intimacy, now when flying, there is always a touch of wind element magic around the body.

And I discovered another thing, that is, there is a natural magic pattern hidden on Deborah's body, which is something unique to the succubus family. emerge.

Kalancuo and Katerina sat side by side on the beach under the coconut trees, talking and laughing. I don't know what common language the two women who have been secretly competing with each other have.

At this moment, the woman I met on the pier came out of the coconut grove and walked straight to me. Her eyes fell on Deborah, but she only stayed there for less than five seconds, then turned her head and looked at me. Said seriously: "Mage Jijia?"

"I'm Jijia." I smiled at her.

"I heard that you are a water magician?" the woman asked again,

Seeing me, I nodded again, and she beamed with joy, and said to me happily: "That's really great, you must know 'hydrotherapy', right?"

I looked at my palm and said, "Of course, this is the basic magic that every water magician must learn."

The woman couldn't wait to say: "I want to ask you for help, please help me, there are some wounded people who need to be treated..."

"Oh..." I readily agreed.

"Countess..." Two islanders ran out from the coconut grove. Before they arrived, their voices had already been heard. I froze in place, looking at the plainly dressed woman in front of me. I didn't expect that she was actually a countess. .

But I joined the ambulance team again by mistake...
