Reincarnation Band Magician

Indeed, summer is about to come here. Xiangzi subconsciously thought of the weather in the north, where the sea water will not be so cold that it makes people shiver only in the hottest weather.

"The weather in the Middle Kingdom is beautiful."

The two ladies sat on the shore, kicking the water, and occasionally saw fish swiftly crossing the rocks, like flashes of silver.

The middle of the stream is actually quite deep.

After washing my legs, I cleaned the flat stone next to me. It was heated by the sun and my black stockings absorbed the heat. I rubbed them with soap and hung them on the stone to dry. They should be dry after lunch.

After feeling refreshed here, I couldn’t help but feel a little sticky on my upper body.

Fulilian hesitated for a moment, took off the platinum robe, folded it and put it aside, and waded into the deep water wearing only the dress underneath.

"Fulillian?"

She just lay down.

Then it floated up like a piece of wood, and its white hair expanded like a giant jellyfish in the sea.

"Hmph, how's it going?"

The water on the surface is warm and cool on the back. It is only occasionally cool when the water from the lower layer surges.

Overall very comfortable.

Xiangzi's eyes widened. "How did you do that?"

"It requires unique skills, Xiang still needs practice...eh?"

The water flow suddenly became faster.

The elf was involuntarily floating in the water, drifting downstream—mostly because she found it quite amusing.

Meanwhile, downstream, Qing was humming a song while washing the ingredients. He carefully processed and washed the fish, shrimps, crabs, and edible wild vegetables he had caught, and put them into a crystal pot.

When I turned around, I saw a big guy coming from upstream.

"Qing, save me."

……

Thousand-year Magician: 131. Non-stop Deer

After fishing the white-haired elf out and asking a few questions, Qing managed to maintain a calm expression.

"You mean, you were just swimming upstream, happily washing your feet, socks, and taking a bath?"

“I’m the only one soaking.”

Fulilian shook her hair, like a golden retriever swimming ashore after diving into the water, then she grasped her skirt and twisted it.

"It's not clean."

Qingxin tiredly used magic to control the flow of water, making it swirl around Fulilian like washing clothes.

"Oh... this is quite interesting."

The elf squinted his eyes comfortably, letting the water wrap around his body, making him round like a snowman, with only his head exposed.

She looked over and found Qing using the magic of running water to wash the vegetables again.

How should I put it? Although these can be ignored given the flow of the river, but... psychologically it still feels a bit...

Qing didn't expect them to be so lively.

As expected, I still need to use magic to wash it.

……

After lunch we got back on the road.

By dusk, the first village appeared in sight. The distance from here to the royal capital was about the same as that from Xinmeier.

If you continue walking north in this direction for another two days, you will reach the border area. From then on, the road will become difficult to travel on, and it is normal not to see a carriage on the main road in a day.

When we entered the village, most of the villagers were already resting.

Qing noticed that some of the shabby-looking houses also had lights on. Were they so frugal? Or had they encountered some kind of accident?

The culture of adventurers has penetrated into every country. After inquiring, the villagers brought them to the village chief.

"Hello, adventurers. It's no problem for you to stay with me, but to be honest, our village has been in some trouble recently..."

The task is triggered.

As mentioned before, adventurer culture has permeated every country. Even if there is no such "trouble", there will be other troubles. If there are no such troubles, let them grind the mill and plow the fields. They will not be idle anyway.

Equivalent transactions are deeply rooted in people's minds. Both the principal and the principal avoid getting something for nothing. Once the atmosphere is corrupted, it will be very difficult to rebuild it.

At the same time, such private commissions are also a part of the training for ordinary adventurers.

The middle-aged village chief took them to the edge of the village.

Fulilian is in charge of communication. She has the most extensive experience and demonstrates and shares her experience with Qing and Xiangzi.

"There shouldn't be any demons in this place, so is the trouble a monster?"

"Well, in this world, there are those bad things everywhere."

The village chief shook his head and talked about the situation.

"It was a deer-like monster. At first, it only grazed near the village and didn't attack anyone. As long as you didn't get too close, you wouldn't be attacked. People thought it would just go away on its own, so they left it alone. Later, it started eating trees, digging up roots and chewing them up...

"To be honest, it cleared a large area of ​​land for the village. At that time, we deliberately concealed it from passing adventurers. Until this year, when other monsters appeared in the nearby forest—

“It started eating the house.”

The dim light of the oil lamp illuminated the surroundings, revealing a vast expanse of emptiness. The grass that should have been lush in late spring was now covered in various potholes, and metal parts such as nails were scattered on the ground.

No wonder there were people in the dilapidated house in front, it turned out that their house had been demolished.

Flillian picked up a nail.

"Of course wood that's been planed out with great effort isn't as delicious as wood that's been left there."

The elves had also seen similar monsters. Since they would not actively attack humans, they were considered to be non-threatening. After establishing contact with them in life, they could get food more easily from human activities, so they gradually gave up looking for it on their own.

They cannot understand kindness, they only know that humans will not harm them and are not a threat.

After trying to attack several times and not being counterattacked, people treat people as if they are trees. When people pick fruits from trees, do they consider what the trees think?

Even monsters get lazy.

"That's probably what it's like. It will come here at night, and the farmland in the village here won't be able to be cultivated. Moreover, if it continues like this, we won't even have our houses left in a while.

"We're ready to go into the city for a commission. You guys can observe and see if you have the confidence to expel or defeat it. It's over there in the fields. If not, just rest for a night and leave."

"I've felt it, right there?"

Fulilian pointed in a direction.

In the dark night, a terrifying shadow was crawling there, and you could vaguely see bright red pupils and hideous, twisted horns.

The monster's eyes are like those of some cats, good at capturing tiny bits of light, making them look like they are glowing, which is a bit scary in the dark.

Fulilian's performance made the village chief take his attitude more seriously.

He originally thought that these were just adventurers who had just entered the industry and wanted to try their luck, but now it seems that they have some skills.

"Correct."

"It can be solved, but one night's stay is too little as compensation."

"I can personally pay some of the money."

"We have no shortage of travel expenses. Do you have anything more special, like magic books or magical tools?"

The elf made the request expertly.

This is what her teacher taught her.

"Well..." The village chief was a little embarrassed. "This is just an ordinary village. We do have a magic book, but it's useless. It only separates water stains on washed food and fruit..."

"I need that."

Qing came over.

This is really important for his kitchen.

Fulilian didn't ask any more questions.

"Then it's a deal, Qing. Since you agreed, you can do it."

"it is good."

Just an ordinary monster.

Qing walked towards it.

A monster with huge horns and shaped like a sika deer stood up.

……

After a while.

The three of them came to the village chief's house.

Take the magic lamp from Fulilian's box and blow out the oil lamp provided by the village chief. It has a strange smell.

There were beddings spread on the floor, which was where Qing would rest later, and the two girls would sleep on the bed.

There was no vacant room in the village chief's house, so only this one room was available.

After a simple cleansing with running water magic, the three of them gathered together to read.

"What's wrong, Qing, you're a little slow."

Fulilian poked his finger to indicate turning the page.

"You guys take a look first, I'll think about it for a while."

Qing recalled the feeling of chopping off the head of the deer that constantly invaded human villages for its never-ending appetite.

For a moment, he felt like he could become crystal.

Monsters...are magic.

The demons are also magic.

Release the shackles of imagination and feel that the world of magic begins to expand.

But there is no second deer for him to chop down here. As for the demon... he can try it on himself, but there is no telling whether it will be the same after one part is crystallized and then turned back.

He hasn't read the other book he brought back from the ruins yet. Flowers, plants, trees and the human body are very different. Qing can't guarantee that his imagination can cover them all... Ask Fulilian for advice tomorrow.

It takes time to test anyway.

It’s great to have something fruitful on the first day of the trip.

……

As a result, before falling asleep, Qing was the only one who had learned magic, probably because he was the only one who truly loved it.

Fulilian expanded her knowledge base, and Xiangzi then impacted her imagination.

……

PS: Resurrection, first three chapters.

Millennium Magician: 132, No Chance

Young people are never used to going to bed early, so they at least want to chat for a while before going to bed.

Today's topic is naturally the deer.

"This is the first time I've seen a monster that doesn't attack people."

"Because humans are not essential food, but simply easy to obtain, the risk of attacking them is minimal, so monsters often regard humans as their first target."

Fulilian answered the question of the girl beside her, "For these monsters, trees were easier to obtain than people before, and tree roots were just a bit difficult. Then they found houses... If they have eaten everything around them, they will eat people."

Some monsters also have a diet similar to normal beasts. Humans are not the first priority, but are calculated based on the difficulty of hunting.
