Hogwarts Raven

Chapter 306 Chapter 305: The Secret of the Island, the Beginning of the Myth

People and magical animals live in harmony.

Even Ian, a legendary wizard, couldn't help but sigh that it was unscientific.

"What is unscientific? And...what is science?" Xiaoya didn't understand Ian's sentiments. Although Ian was using their language, some of the sentence combinations were unheard of by her.

Therefore, I couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Uh...nothing."

Ian waved his hand. He had no ambition to popularize science in ancient times. While looking around, he couldn't help but feel more confused.

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. What kind of mental state did the Titan who was driven away by the Titan tribe have to be in to create such a small world?

Looking at the bustling crowd and colorful buildings in front of me.

Ian could feel the prosperity and happiness of this ethnic group. Although he himself did not have any great power, their living standards and mental outlook were much better than those of the Zeus ethnic group in the outside world.

"This way, come and see our beautiful clothes." Xiaoya can be regarded as a qualified free tour guide and is very enthusiastic towards Ian, an outsider of unknown origin.

There is no defensive mentality.

The two walked into an inn called "Tide House". On the doorplate was a pattern of an owl with a feather tail - it was said that this was the most common guardian beast on the island, "Nightwing".

The interior of the store is warm, with hand-woven tapestries hanging on the walls. In the corner is a long wooden table where several travelers are sitting around eating hot food.

"Welcome to Tide House!"

The owner was an old man with a white beard and a flower on his head. He wore a robe with wavy patterns on it and his eyes first turned to Xiaoya and Ian.

The old man smiled with his eyes really forming a crescent shape.

"Isn't this Xiaoya? Is she going out to look for friends again today?" He seemed to know everyone in the town, and he also knew what Xiaoya did every day when she went out.

"Yes, yes, although I didn't find my partner, I made a new friend." Xiaoya introduced Ian to the owner of the store.

"He is a super trainer who can become one with his partners." Wow, even the name was copied. Ian was once again amazed by the mysterious Titan.

"Is he a trainer who can control one mind? That's quite an amazing achievement!" The shop owner was obviously surprised, and he looked at Ian with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Are they adventurers from other islands?"

The shop owner speculated about Ian's identity and also revealed a piece of information to Ian, that is, there may be more than one island in the core area of ​​the storm.

"Yes."

Ian admitted decisively.

After all, it is too difficult to explain one's identity. The best way to live in a place is to choose to integrate into the local community rather than trying to challenge local culture and customs.

"Young man, you are here for that too, right?" The shop owner suddenly lowered his voice and looked around. There were quite a few people in his shop who seemed to be traveling.

Ian was studying a puppet on the counter that could dance by itself. There were no magic words on it, only natural magic power. When he heard this, he couldn't help but look up and made a curious sound.

"Which one?"

The flower on the old shop owner's head shook mysteriously, and some vines grew out of his body. These vines pulled out a yellowed leather account book from under the counter. He opened one of the pages and saw a phoenix-like creature drawn with scribbled runes, surrounded by lightning and fire patterns.

"Some herbalists saw it in Storm Mountain last month."

The old Bulbasaur's tendrils tapped the pattern. "The feathers are flowing molten gold, and crystal flowers will bloom where they fly. The legendary magical beast that protects our island has started its activities again."

He looked at Ian meaningfully and said, "Recently, there are many foreigners like you who are asking about the legendary elves. Everyone believes that bathing in its light can prolong one's life."

Are there really magical animals that can influence others?
Ian was very surprised.

"Can that really prolong your life?"

He had seen this kind of magical animal before. The tears of the phoenix could heal injuries, and the feces and some secretions of the unicorn also had magical effects.

Is there any connection between the phoenix here and the phoenix in the future?

Ian didn't know.

But he felt his curiosity growing stronger.

"It's more than just prolonging life! Let me tell you, Lord Phoenix God is truly miraculous." The old shop owner suddenly became excited, and a few grains of pollen sprayed out of the stamens on his head.

"My grandfather's grandfather met one when he was young. He lived for more than 200 years! Before he died, his hair turned back to black. He was in good health and died of old age." He suddenly lowered his voice, "And the blacksmith at the east end of the town - someone of his ancestors drank the spring water where the elves are said to live."

"Now the whole family has the ability to control things with their minds." The shop owner said this with great joy, and Ian was stunned. Was it because of some reason that magic was awakened?

Before he could figure it out.

"Good boy who can be of one mind and one body, I wish you a safe journey. If you can really meet that being, it will be a great blessing! This life will definitely be very exciting."

The shop owner blessed Ian.

Ian was a little confused.

Have I become Ash from Pokémon?
He smacked his lips secretly.

And right now.

"Since you've come here in search of the legend, I can't let you go on an empty stomach. I'm going to treat you to a meal." The shop owner showed the simple enthusiasm of the people.

It seems that all the people on this island are like this. Perhaps when the Titan created them, he eliminated some of the bad character traits that the Titans had implanted in the wizards when they created them.

"Me, me."

Xiaoya couldn't help but feel envious.

"you also have."

The shop owner spoke with a smile.

He turned and walked into the kitchen, and soon brought out a large plate of steaming food - golden and crispy "Thunder Fish" paired with fragrant "Star Fern Cake".

There was also a bowl of soup that was glowing blue.

This is the information Ian learned through the store owner's introduction.

"This is made with thunder fish, a local specialty. It contains trace amounts of electrical energy. When stewed with star ferns, it not only tastes delicious but also strengthens the body."

The shop owner is also very proud of his craftsmanship.

"And this star fern cake, this is my family's ancestral recipe. Eating it can enhance physical strength. It is the best blessing for those who embark on an unknown journey."

His words immediately made Xiaoya start to feel the load.

"Yes, the symbol of Star Fern Cake is a safe journey." It must be said that this island still has many customs of its own, and it seems that they have been developed for many years.

"It smells good." Ian scooped a spoonful into his mouth and immediately felt a warm energy flowing through his body, making him feel refreshed.

He understands.

This is the shop owner who added potion ingredients into the dish and stewed it together. The potion ingredients fully released their medicinal properties, and the most primitive potion was brewed in this way.

This is not ordinary food, but a dish with magical properties.

"Thank you for your hospitality."

Ian looked at the food on the table and was touched. Since they set foot on the island, almost everyone had treated them warmly and shared their knowledge and resources without reservation.

It seems that the residents here are born with a simple kindness.

"You're welcome! Your love is my greatest reward!" The shop owner still had a smiling face. He was very happy to see Ian and Xiaoya eating without saying a word.

This is a hearty meal.

After leaving the hotel, they came to the square. Perhaps because the islanders had a really big appetite, Xiaoya still dragged Ian to a stall, which looked like a barbecue restaurant, and the owner was actually a giant crocodile!

It held a charcoal fork in its mouth and expertly flipped the piece of meat skewered on a branch.

"This is Uncle Thundertooth Crocodile. His 'Lightning Dragon Meat Skewers' are the most delicious on the entire island!" Xiaoya said excitedly, with the corners of his mouth drooling.

"Two skewers please!"

she shouted to the alligator.

"okay."

This is the response from an old lady next to them. Crocodiles can't talk, but the humans who run a shop with them can. It seems that she is only responsible for collecting money and preparing goods. Very soon.

The two skewers of meat are ready.

Ian looked at the skewers in front of him. The meat was dark red in color, with a burnt smell, and wisps of green smoke came out from time to time, as if it was still burning inside.

"What kind of meat is this?"

Ian was afraid of eating dark food, so he asked cautiously.

"Dragon meat!"

Xiaoya said as a matter of course, "Haven't you eaten it before?"

"Didn't we agree that magical animals are partners?" Ian was silent for a few seconds, but finally took the skewer and took a bite. The meat was tender and juicy with a hint of spiciness and the aroma of charcoal.

Such deliciousness made him nod again.

"really not bad."

This is the delicacy created by pure craftsmanship and selection of raw materials.

There is no magic added to it.

"Dragons are not companions, nor are they magical creatures, they are just dragons!" Xiaoya corrected Ian and was also showing off his barbecue crazily.

The two of them ate and walked around.

We arrived at a circular square.

A stage was set up in the center, and many people had gathered around it. Xiaoya pulled him into the crowd and saw several young people standing on the stage, each holding a magical animal.

"Look!"

Xiaoya pulled Ian's arm and said, "The competition has started again over there."

I looked in the direction of her voice.

Ian felt the sense of déjà vu of Pokémon again.

I saw.

The two sides in the battle are a red fox-like creature called "Flame-Tailed Fox" and another blue-white giant bird called "Frost Feather Eagle". Their movements are swift and precise, and each attack is accompanied by vibrations in the air.

"Use 'Flame Dance'!"

A girl in a red cloak shouted.

The Flame-Tailed Fox suddenly leaped up and spun in the air, its tail whipping up a circle of flames that surrounded itself. The Frost-Feathered Eagle flapped its wings and flew up, spitting out a stream of cold air from its mouth, trying to freeze its opponent.

The two collided and a cloud of steam erupted, creating an extremely spectacular scene.

"boom!"

With a dull thud, the Flame-Tailed Fox was hit and fell to the ground, with a slight scratch on its right leg.

"injured!"

The referee stopped the match.

The girl in red immediately took out a small medicine bottle from her belt, quickly opened the lid, and smeared the light yellow liquid inside on the wound of the flame-tailed fox.

Just a few seconds.

The fox's wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Bastard!"

As an expert in potions, Ian was also very worried. The effect of this medicine was indeed very good, but it could not be considered a magic potion. It could only be considered a combination of Chinese herbal medicine.

Such a good effect.

It all depends on the quality of the raw materials.

"Your place... the resources are really abundant, much richer than my hometown." Ian was very moved by this. He witnessed the true richness of a small place.

"Of course."

Xiaoya was also very happy to hear someone praising her hometown.

at dusk.

She led Ian to a tree house on the outskirts of town.

As the girl pushed open the door, she saw her five-year-old brother Xiaodou playing weightlifting with a muscular iron-handed gorilla - using real granite dumbbells.

Ian was stunned.

"Sister is back!"

The little boy easily lifted a stone that weighed more than two hundred kilograms.

"King Kong taught me a new move today!"

He was spinning in circles.

That was a real eye-opener for Ian. The gorilla named King Kong scratched his head in a simple manner, and turned around to take credit, but suddenly saw Ian and immediately took a defensive posture.

"This is a guest!" Xiaoya introduced quickly, and turned to Ian to explain, "King Kong is a little shy. Last time the mayor's Thunder Dragon came to visit, it was electrocuted and didn't dare to climb trees for three days."

This explanation.

Ian really didn't know how to respond.

"Sister, I'm hungry."

The little boy spoke to the girl Xiaoya.

"Okay, I'll go cook now."

Xiaoya rushed into the kitchen immediately.

Tempting aromas wafted from the kitchen. The saber-toothed Tyrannosaurus ribs were crushed into meat patties by her using her extraordinary strength. Coconut milk was mixed with flame mushrooms to make soup, and the staple food was the roasted hind leg meat of some giant insect.

Looks like a larger version of Kairos.

I don't know if it's still called this name in this place.

"Still eating?"

Ian is a foodie.

But he couldn't stand it after the third meal in a row.

But Xiaoya still seems to be very interested in eating.

"Usually we eat ten meals a day, but my parents went to explore Storm Canyon, and I'm not a good cook, so we can only eat eight meals." Xiaoya spoke while setting the table.

"..."

Ian heard this.

Silence fell again.

I just think it’s not unreasonable that people in this place have supernatural powers when they are only five or six years old.

At least the law of conservation of energy is obeyed?
On the table.

Ian couldn't eat much.

Ian watched Xiaoya finish chewing a dragon steak that was bigger than his face without changing his expression, and then gulp down a whole cup of bubbling purple juice, while the little boy beside him held a hind leg that was bigger than him and chewed it fiercely.

"Odin, eat slowly, don't choke again."

Xiaoya spoke up and reminded her younger brother.

"??????"

Ian was drinking juice, and he almost spit out the juice when he heard the name.
