7 min read1,805 words
Three days ago, the Southern Islands, Red Bay Bay.
Although autumn has entered on the mainland, the islands in the south are
still warm. The white sandy beaches are covered with light blue and clear
water, and underwater shells can still be clearly seen in the afternoon sun.
The shell is white on the inside, and the outside is light red like a rose,
like an undulating shell, with different shades and looks very beautiful.
In the early years, this island got its name because it abounds in this light
red shell. Later, because of its good location, it became an important transit
point in the western part of the Southern Islands.
There are not only many ports on the island, but also a large flow of people.
There are also rows of white houses on the quieter northern hillside. These
houses are not high and are built on the back of the mountain to avoid being
directly blown by the strong sea breeze. . There are also many coconut trees
planted around the house, which can be regarded as a common cash crop in the
area.
In a larger house, Mrs. Barya is sitting at a table teaching her children. She
holds a storybook in her hand with beautiful color drawings. Next to him sits
Yige, who is Anguszeng. The little boy entrusted.
He opened his eyes to look at the colorful drawings, and heard his mother
read:
"Then the girl in the black dress lit the candle in her hand."
"She said to the boy, even so do you want to resurrect your parents?"
"Yes, I'm all to blame. It was too willful that day, and I couldn't say
goodbye to them until the end. I want to see them again."
"So the candle in the girl's hand burned, and two figures appeared in front of
the boy. They smiled and welcomed the child's return."
"In this way, the boy hugged his parents and fell asleep forever in their
arms, never waking up."
"Okay, the story ends here. Ignatius, do you understand anything from this
story?"
Mrs. Barya smiled and stroked the child’s head. At this time, she looked like
a different person compared to before. She looked calm, her eyes were full of
love, and even her chestnut hair became shiny.
"Um...I don't quite understand, but the ending doesn't seem to be good."
"Yes, this story is to tell us that we must cherish the people and things in
front of us, and don't wait to regret it until we lose it."
"The closest ones are often the ones most easily forgotten."
"Well, I see, mother." Ignatius nodded.
"Okay, Ignatius. In fact, this story also metaphors some things, that is,
parents will get old and leave their children eventually, and you must
eventually learn to face everything, and remember not to indulge in the past
like the boy in the book. In the illusion."
"Will mother get old too?"
"Yes, so Ignatius needs to grow up quickly."
"I will."
Just then the door of the room was pushed open, the white sunlight came in in
the afternoon, a tall figure appeared at the door, he walked in, and then
spoke.
"Excuse me, Mrs. Barya, and Ignatius."
"Ah, it's Uncle Ceres, you are here."
The little boy ran over. Seres often brought something to the mother and
child, and he lived not far from here.
"Mr. Serres?"
Mrs. Barya stood up and said hello. She is still very grateful to her husband
and comrade. She has helped her a lot recently, finding a house, placing
furniture, and hiring teachers, all of which were handled by the original
housekeeper.
"Well, it's me." Ceres squatted down and hugged Yige, and then responded to
Mrs. Barya's greeting.
"I have something to talk about today, and then I will leave Hongbei Bay for a
while. When I am away, if Mrs. Barya or Little Yige have any difficulties, you
can directly contact the fruit shop opposite."
"The store manager and employees are all members of our Calites Chamber of
Commerce. I have already agreed with them in advance. If necessary, they will
definitely help you."
"Okay, thank you, and Miss Lacey from Calites."
Mrs. Barya bowed gently and said thankfully.
"Where are you going, is there any danger?"
"On the other islands in the southern archipelago, if it's dangerous, I'm
fine, but I'm a little worried about Missy."
Ceres sighed, and then bid farewell to leave.
--------------
The next day, engrave the blue island.
The tide of the sea is constantly washing the coast, beating against the blue
reefs on the shore. There are many holes in the reefs, which are wet by super
water. On the delicate rocks there are occasional seabirds, some with small
mouths. fish.
The island is surrounded by dense forests, among the verdant canopies there
are some tall towers protruding from the forest, overlooking the whole island.
Ceres sat outside a luxurious and low-key mahogany door, waiting patiently.
An apprentice mage opened the door. He was wearing a light blue mage robe with
a blue gradual feather headdress on his head.
"Master Geodor has agreed to your request. Please follow along. Don't scream
or touch anything when you see it on the road."
"I understand." Ceres got up and followed, after entering the gate.
The sun shines into the room from the thick glass. The stack of books, copper-
colored cages, and the experimental equipment placed in the room is very
quiet.
"Fool, Vincent, fool, Vincent." A strange voice sounded abruptly above his
head.
Ceres looked up and found a blue bird standing in the cage, talking.
"Don't worry about him, he can only say this." The apprentice in front
explained.
"Fool, Vincent, the other party just treats you as a puppy, and you follow
behind and wag your tail every day."
Ceres looked at the bird again, is this a beast, so smart, it would be a
metaphor.
"To shut up!"
The apprentice in front was a little uneasy, and directly a silent
enchantment, so that the bird could not make a sound.
But this bird is really smart. It hopped around and flapped its wings to break
the barrier, and then made a sound again.
"Trash, Vincent, I don't even dare to kill a chicken, trash Vincent."
The apprentice in front of him brows, walks quickly, and never speaks again.
Ceres didn't dare to speak at will, for fear of causing the apprentice's
disgust. Although the apprentice mage is not strong, if he wants to stumble
himself, it shouldn't be too easy.
"Here." The apprentice in front stopped and knocked on the door.
"Please come in." A healthy voice came from behind the door.
Ceres went in. A mage was sitting behind the desk. The sun shot down from a
high window behind him, and he couldn't see the other side's face for a while.
"You are Mr. Ceres, the representative of Calides."
"Yes, it is right here, on behalf of the successor of the Callites Chamber of
Commerce, Mr. Lacie."
"Well, please sit down."
The Mage Geodor spoke.
"I have seen the letter you handed me and the application to the parliament,
and I discussed it with my colleagues yesterday."
"Although most of the description in the letter is true, it can correspond to
the information we know."
"But there are still some key things that need to be verified, because once we
are dispatched, it is destined to touch the interests of Xuehua United."
"This will undoubtedly break a lot of things, such as our previous position
and the future situation."
"I understand what you said, this is something I prepared in advance."
Ceres took out the document bag under his arm, which contained not only the
official agreement document of Calites, but also the letter of introduction
from Mr. Jerrink of the Jagertylin family, and the suicide note left by Angus.
After giving all these to the opposite mage, he began to check them one by
one, such as the pattern on the contract paper, the extraordinary mark, and
the content of the agreement.
After a long time, he raised his head, and the healthy mage pushed his eyes
and said.
"You are fully prepared. Although the agreement does not benefit us much, it
is above the bottom line that we recognize."
"I have to say that Angus did find a good heir."
"Thank you for your compliment."
"this is nothing,"
"After that, I will put forward these materials and proposals at the meeting,
and after discussions among the members, I will decide whether to implement
it."
"How long will it take?" Seres was a little anxious, after all, the situation
was already very tense.
"Don't worry, there will be a meeting this afternoon. After the decision is
made, it will be implemented tomorrow."
"Is it okay tonight?" Seres asked again.
The old mage knocked on the table, and then answered.
"It seems that you are in a hurry."
"Also, I will urge the relevant personnel."
"Thank you very much, Master Geodor~www.mtlnovel.com~The Calites Chamber of
Commerce and I will remember your kindness." Ceres finally breathed a sigh of
relief and thanked loudly.
"It doesn't have to be this way. It can be regarded as a return to Mr. Angus.
The materials and ancient instruments he handed to us in the past have changed
a lot, which has greatly benefited the entire country. The previous payment to
him was still too small. Remedy it."
That afternoon, Seres had been walking in front of a tall building.
At dusk, under a huge stone pillar nearly 100 meters high, a huge door for
twenty people to pass side by side opened, and a pair of differently dressed
wizards filed out. They were decorated with various decorations, but they all
tended to be natural. Such as feathers, branches and leaves, shells, flowers,
fur, wood carvings and so on.
At this time, Seres finally waited for the Mage Geodor. He walked behind, with
short black hair, calm and relaxed.
After seeing Seres, he was not surprised, but spoke.
"Send my greetings to the new master of Calites, Miss Lacey. The first stage
of assistance for the Hinayuki Council and the Cranberry Kingdom will start
tonight."
Ceres expressed his gratitude with excitement, and then that night, he was
taken to another island by several mages.
This island looks a bit wild. It's a volcanic island with black smoke in the
center, and the island is full of scorching heat.
"Are you going back to Hopelander with you?" a mage asked.
"Yes, so some things can be better communicated."
"Okay, now you sit firmly."
As the mage's voice fell, a huge black shadow slowly fell with its wings
flapping, and stopped in front of him, and then more wings flapping sounded
from the sky.
