Chapter 33: Learn to be strong
In the early morning, with the opening of the magic array in the Ice and Snow Village, the warm soft light shone on the entire Ice and Snow Village. Due to the addition of the magic array and the increase in the supply of magic stones, the ice and snow hills, which were originally far away from the ice and snow village, have also become more bright.
"Hmm~~~Ah~~~" Nebula yawned as usual and woke up from his sleep.
Nebula fumbled for the cloth bag while packing up the clothes on the ground, and after making sure that he had packed his things, Nebula slowly climbed out of the snow cave, and slowly stood up and patted the broken snow on his body.
Strange, something seems wrong! Seems like something is missing?
Yes! That girl named Shami is gone!!
Could it be that she was captured by Yerevan or by someone from the Tanlya family?
Nebula felt pity for her, and if she married someone she didn't like like like this, then her next life would be ruined.
What's even more a pity is that she has agreed to be her own retinue, and it is still good to have a beautiful female retinue as a magician
But it's pitiful, it's a pity, and there's no way to save her, so let's go first! Maybe when he returns from the Elene Academy of Magic in a few years, he will have enough strength to save her, and it is not impossible to recruit her as his retinue when the time comes.
But after a few steps, Nebula was stunned!
Nebula clearly felt that the teleportation scroll of the Tower of Babel that he had placed on the heel of his shoe was gone!
Nebula put the teleportation scroll on the heel of his shoe because he had read the book of "Elan Magical Travels" in which the main character Elan did it when he had no space equipment. Moreover, Nebula wears snowshoes, and the upper part of the shoe is longer than the upper of ordinary shoes, which is just enough to fit into that teleportation scroll, as for whether it will wear out the scroll and cause the scroll to be unusable, it is not something that Nebula can take into account.
Could it be that the scroll fell in a snow cave?
Nebula then hurried into the snow cave to look for what might fall.
However, before he packed his things and prepared to leave, Nebula had already checked to make sure that there was nothing of his own in the snow cave, and now the anxious Nebula was completely shaving snow.
Nebula kept slashing at the snow on the ground, and the snowdrifts on the side gradually piled up like a small mountain
It wasn't until the earth, which had been frozen like iron, that Nebula's movements slowly stopped.
Although Nebula's body was no longer afraid of the cold because of the incident that happened two years ago, Nebula's heart felt a chill at this time.
Suddenly! As if thinking of something, Nebula hurriedly crawled out of the cave and immediately opened the cloth bag on the ground.
What about two sets of clothes, a water bladder, three heavy books, and a bag of biscuits? The iron box containing the amethyst is gone!!
If Nebula can't guess that this is Shami's ghost, then isn't Nebula stupider than a pig?
Although Nebula's stupid behavior yesterday was already on par with Pig's, at least it wasn't hopelessly stupid, at least because Nebula's closeness to Sammy prevented Sammy from being ruthless to Nebula.
But for Nebula, the loss of the teleportation scroll of the Tower of Babel and the amethyst worth 50,000 gold coins is already the fall of the sky!
Nebula couldn't help but kneel on the snow in a daze, tears falling down one by one like beads of broken thread.
Nebula didn't know what he was going to do next, as if his path to becoming a magician had suddenly been blocked by a huge boulder, and the small and powerless Nebula had nothing to do with the boulder
"Woo woo~~~ cough cough ~~ Woo woo ~ ~" Nebula sat on the cold snow and cried, and even cried and coughed.
But where is this? It is a rarely inhabited ice and snow hill, even if there are caravans or pedestrians, they are all going to the main road, and no one will deliberately walk the path that Xingyun has walked, so Shami, who is fleeing for her life, will walk to this path in a panic.
It is impossible for anyone to hear Nebula's cry, so it is impossible for anyone to comfort Nebula, Nebula's crying is just a waste of energy.
Nebula is also very clear about this, after all, the incident of running away from home two years ago is still vivid.
Crying won't solve anything at all, and it will even invite man-eating monsters!
It's just that if he doesn't cry, Xingyun feels that he will be even more sad and angry, and maybe he won't be able to think about it for a while, so he will feed himself to the monster.
Nebula didn't know how long he cried, and it wasn't until his crying was close to hoarseness that Nebula stopped crying.
What now?
This is a very real problem. Because he didn't run away from home this time, Gao Xiu wouldn't come to look for him.
Go home!?
Of course Nebula wants to go home! Now Xingyun can't wait to throw herself into her brother's arms and cry about what happened to her, so that her brother can comfort and comfort herself.
But this is clearly impossible!
Because he lost the Babel teleportation scroll that his brother gave him, as well as the 50,000 gold coins that his brother and the store manager Scott borrowed!
Although my brother didn't seem to care about it when he teleported the scroll to himself at the time, Xingyun later found out from Store Manager Scott that the teleportation scroll was actually equivalent to 50,000 gold coins! Even the value is only high, not low.
50,000 gold coins is already an astronomical amount for Nebula, so 100,000 gold coins are even more full of birds flying in the sky
Xingyun couldn't open his mouth to Gao Xiu at all, saying that he had lost 100,000 gold coins because he was gullible about others.
Xingyun didn't dare to let the store manager Scott know about it, for fear that Scott would immediately turn around and ask Gao Xiu to repay the 50,000 gold coins he had lent.
So the next thing is to find a way to get through this on your own.
The Tower of Babel has 20 floors, each of which is about 40 meters high, and I heard from the store manager Scott that there are magic puppets in the shape of stone balls in the Tower of Babel.
The eight-thousand-meter-high Tower of Babel is still a little difficult for Nebula to climb alone.
Fortunately, the biscuits and water in the cloth bag can barely be used for three days if they are saved, even if Xingyun walks slowly for three days, it is more than dozens of eight thousand meters, right?
As for the stone ball puppets in the Tower of Babel, it seems that they will all enter a state of slumber during this month, and this month is also the time for caravans large and small to act.
If you're lucky, you might be able to reach the top of the Tower of Babel in one day!
Nebula wiped his red and swollen eyes fiercely after figuring it out, and immediately headed in the direction of the Tower of Babel without stopping for a moment, and Nebula also guessed that the girl named Sammy was likely to use her Babel Teleportation Scroll to teleport to the magic crystal at the bottom of the Tower of Babel, and if she sped up a little faster, it was still possible to reach the Tower of Babel before her, and wait until she was caught by herself
Heh~~~~~~Heh
Thinking of this, Nebula gradually quickened his pace while YY took revenge on Sammy, but he didn't know that Sammy was acting at five o'clock in the morning, and it was already close to noon, even if Nebula could run on the snow, it would be impossible for him to catch up with her.
Nebula hadn't done anything while he was on his way, he was cursoryly flipping through the three heavy books on magic in his cloth bag.
Nebula only had the "Basic Elementary Magic Spell" before going out, and the other two books Nebula had never seen before. And since the other two books have been put in a cloth bag for Nebula by Gao Xiu on his own initiative, then these two books must be related to magic.
The reason why Xingyun didn't go to see it for almost a whole day at the beginning was because the candy was swapped was secretly angry with Gao Xiu.
As for now, although he is still a little annoyed by this matter, the person who attracts more hatred has appeared, and if Shami is allowed to appear in front of Nebula again, not to mention eating his flesh and drinking his blood, he will at least let Nebula beat him violently. Otherwise, it will be difficult to understand the hatred in Nebula's heart.
Now Nebula was fascinated by the names of the two books, as if he was attracted by a huge candy, and even his pace gradually slowed down.
The knowledge content in the two books, "Elven Dictionary" and "Basics of Magic", is exactly what Nebula needs now.
Needless to say, the "Elven Dictionary" is the foundation of the magician's learning of magic, all magic spells must be chanted in the elven script, it can be said that people who don't understand the elven script can't become a real magician at all.
Now Nebula is still a half-baked apprentice magician, and the only magic that can be released is still parroted, and even the spells used to assist meditation are still taught by Gao Xiu word by word.
If Nebula doesn't understand elven language, then wouldn't the Basic Elementary Magic Spell become an ornament? Can a magician who can only do one magic be called a magician?
Elven literature is also the foundation of a series of magic-related academics such as alchemy, pharmacy, inscription, etc., if you can master elven literature, it can be said that the door to the magic road has been opened for you.
"Fundamentals of Magic" is even more incredible, although Nebula has not yet looked at the specific content in it, but just by looking at the catalog Nebula, he knows how important the knowledge in it is for a rookie like himself who is new to magic.
Chapter 1, Magic Combat Essentials; Chapter 2, The Inert Time of All Kinds of Magic; Chapter 3, Proper Use of Magical ShieldsChapter 20, Identification of Herbs; Chapter 21, The Collection of Medicinal Herbs; Chapter 22, Preparation of Basic ElixirsChapter 31, Identification of Magic Ores
If he can fully understand this, Nebula can puff up and say that he is a magician! Even the lowliest, junior magician is a magician, isn't it?
Although learning Elven is not a matter of one or two days, Nebula looked at the Elven Dictionary as he walked in order to learn the second magic faster, muttering something to his mouth along the way.
In this way, Nebula kept walking in the direction of the Tower of Babel, until the magic circle of the distant Ice Village was closed, and Nebula knew that it was night.
Thankfully, Nebula also reached the vicinity of the Tower of Babel, and by the faint light of the moon through the clouds, Nebula could faintly see the huge stone tower in front of him, which reached straight into the sky.
Tower of Babel!?
I'd like to see how high it is.
