The water of Silent River is clear and bright, like a mirror.
The patrol officer lay on the guardrail, looked at the mirror, and kept trying new smiles and pouts. He felt that he needed to pursue something a little more, and could not always use the same expression to deal with all the media.
If there are still media who plan to interview him.
"Tsk," Mr. Robert looked at the reflection in the water, shook his head, and complained: "The water surface is a bit low, it's hard to see clearly... It would be better if it was higher."
The river seemed to hear his complaints, swaying slightly and rising a little higher.
The patrol officer looked at the much clearer reflection on the river and was filled with joy.
"Higher, higher." He took out the newspaper from his cloak pocket and compared the smiling face reflected in the lake with the expectations in his heart, completely unaware that the water surface was slowly rising.
Until the blue waves rippled, wetting the toes of his shoes, and the ripples shattered his newly adjusted smile.
The patrol officer raised his head angrily and looked far away on the river - he thought it was some wizard who had just received the curse seal from the Gini Hut who was joking with him. Those magicians who had just gained power liked to do this the most.
Boring things.
Then the smile on his lips stiffened.
Pairs of orange, pale green, and pale eyes were exposed from the water, staring at the shore through the light morning mist. Under the clear river water, you can vaguely see the dark figures and ferocious figures behind these eyes.
skin.
A ferocious and violent aura rushed towards his face.
Robert E. Lee bit the tip of his tongue.
It hurts!!
He took a deep breath, threw out a magic alarm, grabbed the copper whistle in his hand, and blew it hard.
Brilliant fireworks and sharp whistles broke through the morning fog and resounded throughout Beta Town. At the same time, a patrol officer shouted at the top of his lungs from the old streets of the North District:
"It's a monster! It's a monster!!"
At the corner of the street not far from the patrol officer, a black-robed wizard with a sword in his arms looked with satisfaction at the patrol officer who was frightened and fled after the alarm was issued, and lit a talisman again.
The firelight flashed, and a wisp of green smoke rose from the talisman and floated towards the river.
Under the embankment, the 'monsters' under the water slowly raised their heads, opened their big mouths, and let out a series of terrifying roars. The sound caused ripples in the calm water, and spread along the narrow old streets far away.
Far away.
…
…
A few streets away from the embankment.
Outside the forest goods market in the North District of Beita Town, in a small restaurant facing the street.
In the early morning, there were few pedestrians on the road, and not many stores were open for business. This restaurant was providing breakfast to the dock workers, so the stove was turned on early.
But this does not mean that the store owner is diligent.
The boss was curled up on the soft sofa chair at the entrance of the store, holding a Dharma book in his arms. The Dharma book shone slightly in the morning light. A dozen elves in tattered gauze clothes were holding it with difficulty.
Spoons, condiment bottles, bowls and chopsticks flew between the steaming stove and the dining table, and the air was filled with the rich aroma of rice.
Maidong stood at the street corner, holding a stuffed Kun fish in his arms, smelling the aroma coming from the restaurant and swallowing his saliva.
Zhang Boren looked down at the little witch and sighed heavily.
"You know the rules," he reached out and touched Maidong's head, comforting him: "When performing cross-dimensional tasks on the timeline, it is most taboo to have unnecessary connections with this node... It would be terrible if the butterfly effect is triggered.
"
"But I'm hungry." Maidong raised his head and looked at his captain, looking a little pitiful: "I'm not allowed to sleep, I'm not allowed to eat, I'm not allowed to make friends... I'm really miserable."
Zhang Boren felt a headache. He couldn't stand the tone of the little witch, which also made him regret his previous concession.
Previously, when assigning tasks in the Silent Forest, the original plan was to let the little wizard stay where he was and listen to the fortune teller's command to build a magic circle to snipe the relatives of the outer gods.
But it was the first time Maidong came to Phuket Island, and he had not visited Beta Town yet, so he clamored to come to the North District with the captain to gain more experience.
Zhang Boren's head hurt from her noise, and he hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed to work with the little witch to clean up the imprisoned magical creatures in the North District Pier Forestry Market. But because he couldn't go into the store to shop, and he couldn't buy those delicious snacks, and
Having no choice but to stay under the cold corner, Maidong soon became tired of this task.
"Hold on for a little longer," the captain of the Kunpeng hunting team patted his chest and said to the spirit wizard of his hunting team: "We will go back after completing the mission... This time I will buy you three Pandora's boxes.
!”
Before Pandora's Box is opened, no one knows what is hidden inside - it is said that someone opened a dragon egg from the box not long ago - which is a very popular gift in the magic market now.
Maidong's eyes lit up, and he immediately held up four fingers, paused, then slapped them: "Five! I want five magic boxes!"
"Deal!" Zhang Boren stretched out his little finger, hooked up with Maidong, and readily agreed.
The little witch regretted a little and wondered if she had set a low price.
Just at this moment, behind the thin morning fog, a bright firework suddenly rose in mid-air above the low street-facing shops. The bright red color full of warning almost filled half of the sky, and with it, there were also
There was a sharp whistle in the wind.
The guests having breakfast in the restaurant were stunned for a moment, dropped their bowls and chopsticks and ran away.
The people from the North District are particularly commendable for their cleverness.
The boss, who was taking a nap on the sofa chair, ran away faster than anyone else - he didn't even have time to take off the apron around his waist - leaving behind a group of working elves, holding spoons and holding firewood.
, floating in mid-air in a daze.
"The swordsman mission is completed!"
Zhang Boren snapped his fingers, grabbed the little witch's shoulders, and led her towards the forest goods market: "It's our turn next."
Maidong tightened the doll in her arms.
"I still don't understand," she sighed like an adult: "Why did we scare the poor patrol officer? Will sending a false alarm cost him his job..."
"Not only can't he lose it, maybe he can also get a Merlin Medal." The captain of Kunpeng Hunting Team took the little witch with him and explained as he walked away: "Because he didn't send a false alarm, but half an hour in advance.
A true alarm... When the North District wizards are assembled and prepared to deal with the black tide, they will find that the real black tide has just arrived at their doorstep."
"The great sage in the North District will realize this."
While talking, the two of them had already reached the forest goods market. Zhang Boren took out two badges from his pocket, hung them on his chest, and strode towards the market gate. As he walked, he shouted to the young wizard guarding the door:
"Didn't you hear the alarm? This is not a drill! Evacuate immediately!"
