Blue Star

They had been drifting at sea for two full days. Compared with food, the most worrying thing now was thirst.The sea water is too salty to drink, and I want to drink water after eating raw sea fish.

His lips were chapped with thirst, and if he didn't reach land by tomorrow, he would probably die of dehydration.

The weather at sea has not been very good, occasionally the sun will be covered by cloud soon.He can only occasionally quench his thirst by taking some rainwater when it rains, but the amount is too small to meet the needs of his body.

Thankfully, he found his way back.It turned out that after leaving the waters of Bermuda River, he wasted a whole day circling outside the border of the restricted area.

There was heavy fog on the sea, and Iris' presence helped him a lot.Because of the loss of the oars, the forward movement of the ship depends entirely on the propulsion of Iris.

After getting along several times, he found that Iris was not as vicious as the mermaid he saw that night.In addition to hunting for food and killing dangers, it can be said that he is a human being who is taken care of in every possible way.

He raised his ring-wearing left hand to perform witchcraft, and the closer he was to the direction of the land, the more magnetic field he could feel.It won't take long, when he can fully control the surrounding magnetic field, the speed of returning to land will be faster.

The dense fog surrounds the hull in strands and strands. It is not strong but can be gradually controlled.

He stretched out his hand to Iris who was helping to push forward behind the boat: "Come on, I can control a little bit of the magnetic field."

Iris looked at his outstretched hand with hesitant eyes, let go of the stern with both hands, and the expression on his face seemed to be thinking about whether to go with him.

The mermaid's existence was a miracle to him, and his only hope of stopping the infection for now.Although he didn't know if this hope was true or not, he had to bring Iris back.

Elder Daoporing's inhibitory crystal powder has been ineffective for more and more people, taking too much, the body has already produced antibodies to the drug.If it goes on, it will take less than half a year for everyone to face the disaster of 200 years ago again.

"Come ashore with me, your presence is very important to us."

Iris looked at his hand, paused for a moment, then reached up to hold it.After getting on the boat, the tail of the fish receded gradually, but for some unknown reason, the tiny scales on many places on its body could not recede like a human like before, and it looked like an infection.

Is it because of the magnetic field?The closer to the continent, the stronger the magnetic field, so the mermaid's genes cannot be perfectly converted freely?No wonder Iris hesitated just now, maybe because he felt the discomfort caused by the magnetic field.

He took off his white robe and put it on Iris, and said: "After going ashore, you have to cover the scales for now, so that no one can see them until Elder Daoporing examines you, otherwise you will be regarded as infected. of monsters."

I don't know if Iris can understand it, but after taking over the robe, he was very happy to wear it, just like when he put on his shoes for the first time.

There are more and more water molecules moving around, and the speed of the hull is gradually increasing.In the dense fog, he could already vaguely see the six huge Goddess Pillars reaching the sky in Minggu Continent, and the circular town surrounded by the pillars.

The illuminated crystal illuminates the town like a jewel, and when viewed from the sea, it looks like the lights of thousands of families in the book.Occasionally, floating ships controlled by fluorite can be seen above the town. These small ships are mostly used to transport supplies.

In the center of the town stands a [-]-meter-high crystal mine lighthouse, originally to guide the people who are adventuring outside.But in fact, the light distance of the crystal mine is limited, and if you leave the designated area, you can't guide the lost people.

The thick fog at sea was worse than when sailing, and even spread to the town.Calculated according to the season, it is obviously not yet the time when the sky is full of fog, and this year's rainy season seems to be brought forward.

The Meiyu period is a hotbed stage for fungi, and it is also a period of high outbreaks of infections every year.Now that it's ahead of schedule, the elders must be very busy.

Iris's condition doesn't look very good, and the skin on his body can't control the appearance of scales in many places.If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he would really have thought that Iris was also facing infection.

The ship is about to dock, and fishing boats that cannot sail due to heavy fog are lined up at the pier.The fluorite inlaid on the bottom of the hull fixed all these large ships in the air above three meters above the sea.

The ship he is currently controlling can only stay on the sea surface, so he has to pass under these big ships.

Iris was very curious about this continent he saw for the first time. When his palm touched the hemp rope holding the big boat on the shore, two of his nails were cut off because they were too sharp.The big boat drifted to the market on the shore without the connection of the rope.

Seeing this, Gu Li hurriedly raised his hand to manipulate the fluorite at the bottom of the big ship.Small water droplets quickly gathered around the hull in the thick fog, like a three-story ship that was easily pulled back to its original place by him.

He fixed the rope again, and after confirming that the owner was not nearby, he hurriedly pulled Iris away.

"Everything here is owned by the owner, don't touch it randomly."

The mermaid's nails are too sharp. Cutting such a thick hemp rope is like cutting vegetables.

He warned: "Follow closely, don't wander around."

The scope of the ancient continent is very large, and the towns that belong to humans only occupy one of the goddess pillars.Most of the other places are forests full of monsters. So far, no one has gone out to explore and come back alive.Therefore, the known map of the ancient continent is actually only a very small part.

There are five circles of circular towns starting from the center of Kirch, and there were two outer circles 200 years ago.It's a pity that it was destroyed by monsters during the war, so many important supplies were lost.

The most regrettable among them are the two libraries with historical books.And what they can now know about the history of the continent is only a scant 200 years, and they know very little about many plants and infections.

Today's archaeological army can't reach them at all, and occasionally they can bring back one or two books, which are mostly children's books.The cost of sacrificing just a few storybooks that are entirely unreal is too high.

But it was different now. When he saw that mermaids were real creatures, he suddenly had a new definition of these fantasy books.

If you want to get more information about Minggu Continent, apart from taking back the peripheral history books, you can only go to the forest for field investigation.Only by understanding what is wrong with the world in which we live can we truly prescribe the right medicine.

"Hey, you can't eat this! Where did the lunatic come from?"

There was a noise behind him, and Gu Li hurriedly turned his head.I saw that in front of the stall selling woodcarvings in the market, Iris took something that looked like a sea fish and bit it in his mouth.After biting it off, I found that it was different from the fish I usually eat, so I threw the wooden carved fish back in disgust.

The stall owner's wood is mainly used to repel mosquitoes and fumigate the house. In order to sell it at a good price, he deliberately carved it into the appearance of various creatures.Now that it's been bitten off, things naturally can't be sold well.

The stall owner grabbed Iris' arm and said angrily, "Ten treasures, I must be compensated!"

Seeing that the stall owner was full of aggression, Iris immediately grabbed the stall owner's neck, trying to break the man's neck.

"Iris! Let go!"

Gu Li hurriedly stepped forward to pull the two of them apart, covered Iris's almost exposed arm, and then stopped between the two of them and said to the stall owner: "I'll pay for him, ten bucks, right? I have it. "

As soon as the stall owner saw that it was Ke Erqi's wizard, he didn't pursue the responsibility immediately, and said, clutching his neck that was pinched, "It turned out to be Mr. Wizard, who brought it back from where, why did he grab the wooden carving and slap his mouth?" Rise."

The woodcarving used to repel mosquitoes is the most common thing, and no one in the town does not know it.Gu Li could only lie and said: "We just came back from the sea, and we were hungry and dizzy, sorry."

It's not very good to tell a lie, but no normal person would believe it.He touched the money bag stuffed in his clothes, but he didn't know when he lost it, and there was nothing left in his clothes at the moment.

The stall owner didn't ask because of his identity as a wizard, but it was obvious from this action that he didn't bring any money.

Gu Li said embarrassingly: "Otherwise, when I go back to Keerqi to pick it up, I'll be back soon."

Although it is impossible for Keerqi's wizards to renege on their debts, there is no one in business who is careless.The stall owner glanced at the ring on Gu Li's hand, and said, "Why don't Mr. Wizard deposit the ring with me, and I'll return the ring when the goods come back."

The crystal mine ring is just an ordinary decoration in the hands of ordinary people, and can only be operated in the hands of talented wizards.It's not a big deal to keep the ring, but now Gu Lihun is the only one who can protect himself from this ring. It is mortgaged here, and he doesn't know what he will encounter on the way back to Kerqi.

"That's it." He pulled Iris over, "I'll leave him with you for now, and I'll be back as soon as I get the goods."

The stall owner looked at Iris helplessly, thinking that he relied on Ke Erqi's protection all day, so he said, "Okay, okay, if you really want to renege on the debt, just take it as my thanks to Ke Erqi."

Gu Li promised: "I will never renege on my debt."

As he spoke, he pulled Iris over to a place where there was no one on the right side of the booth, and told him, "You wait here for me, and you must not run around and touch anything."

Afraid that Iris would not understand, he pretended to be stern and pointed to the ground where the two were standing, "You must never leave this position until I come back."

Iris frowned as if he was angry, but due to the language barrier, he could only shout: "Gu Li."

Gu Lisong let go of his arm, took a step back and pointed to the ground, "Stand right here, waiting for me."

He turned around and took a few steps, and Iris suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his wrist tightly.Looking back, this person's face seems to be wronged, maybe he feels that he has made a mistake and now he will be discarded by him.

Gu Li comforted: "I'll be back soon, you stand where you were just now and don't move."

This time Iris seemed to understand, let go of his hand and took a few steps back to stand where his finger was just now.

After Gu Li left, the stall owner looked curiously at this silly-looking person.The appearance is good-looking, and the figure is tall and straight. The wizard's robe is particularly inappropriate for this person.

A pair of exposed ankles are as white as a girl's, and the shoelaces are tied crookedly, which doesn't look very good.Although there are many people in the mainland who are dressed strangely, this kid in front of him looks like he just came back from a disaster.

The stall owner tried to ask: "Hey, what's your name? Just came back from the sea?" Thinking of the sea team that recently applied for wizard escort, he hurriedly asked: "Are you going to sea with Zhong Huaide's team? Why are you only You and the wizard?"

After looking left and right to see if there was no one there, the stall owner lowered his voice and asked, "Have you guys gone to the restricted area?"

Iris ignored him, keeping his eyes fixed on the direction Gu Li left just now.

The stall owner asked a few more questions and felt bored, and handed him the sea fish wood carving that Iris had bitten off just now, "Take it, and it will be yours after Mr. Wizard pays for it."

Iris finally had a reaction. He turned his head and looked at the broken wood carving in the stall owner's hand. After taking it, he imitated and said, "Baby?"

The stall owner thought it was interesting, and he didn't know where the wizard brought this kid back.He took a few brightly colored and complete sun-dried shells from the wooden box at the booth, and explained: "This is a cargo shell, you have to use it for buying and selling things, you don't even know what a cargo shell is, do you?" ?”

Iris took a blue textured conch from the stall owner, the size of a fingernail. There are many such small conchs in the sea, and they are much larger than the one in his hand.

He raised the empty conch in his hand, and asked again: "Baby?"

"Yes, now you recognize it?"

The stall owner was just about to try to see if the boy would respond by scolding a few fools, when he suddenly saw Iris take out a palm-sized white conch from the robe he was wearing. Light blue under the light.

The stall owner's eyes were straightened, such a large item was still intact, and it was more than enough to exchange for ten expensive meals with this item.

Iris pushed the conch towards the stall owner, and the stall owner asked him in disbelief, "Is it really for me? A wood carving for a big shellfish?"

Iris didn't understand, but just pushed the conch to the stall owner again.

The stall owner got such a big cargo, and immediately put away the stall, "You want to give this to me, I didn't force you." Seeing no one left and right, he hurriedly stuffed the cargo into his clothes, and said with a smile : "Get rich, get rich!"

I'm afraid that the kid will go back on his word, and also afraid that the wizard will find out when he returns.He closed the stall in a hurry, before he could even say goodbye, he ran away with a pile of things in his arms.

Iris retracted his gaze and looked at the broken wood carving in his hand. He picked it up and tried to take a bite, but found that it was really inedible and threw it aside.

The fog in the town gradually receded, and it rained heavily again in the gloomy sky. The vendors in the market hurriedly packed up their goods.

Gu Li manipulated the water molecules around his body to block the rain, and hurried back with the bag of goods.The rain was much heavier than that encountered at sea, and it became a torrential rain in the blink of an eye.The market streets along the way had long been empty, and when he arrived, Iris was still standing in the position he had just mentioned, drenched in the rain, without moving a step.

Yu Ling:

The rainy season is probably in early summer from June to July, and in the story it is now mid-April.
