Master and his butler Mr.

Afterwards, Audrey really didn't get closer, and the caravan officially entered the Kotma Wasteland.

The long Kotma Mountain Range has finally come to a rest here, with only a few faintly undulating hills stretching out, and then there is an endless plain, dotted with large and small gravel and sparse withered grass, and even rarer lizards and sandworms.

The days here are hot and dry, but the nights are so cold that it can almost fall to the edge of the ice.Hernandez was not suitable for the climate here, and fell ill as soon as he came in.

"I've caused you trouble." Wrapped in the thick quilt, Hernandez said guiltily as he watched Mr. Butler busy.

Mr. Housekeeper came over and rubbed his head, took a look at his red face and the tip of his nose: "Take a good rest, you just have a cold, and you will recover soon."

Hernandez coughed a few times and buried his head in the blanket again.

He was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to speak.

Ever since he entered the wilderness, there was always a faint voice talking to him. He couldn't tell the difference between male and female, but he always felt that the voice sounded familiar and frightened him at the same time.

"Come on, come on, come here..." In a daze, the voice sounded again.

"Who are you? What are you going to do?" Hernandez finally couldn't help asking in a low voice.

It was already midnight at this time, except for the sound of wind and sand, there was silence everywhere, Mr. Housekeeper was sleeping next to him, and he could still feel the faint body temperature, which made Hiernandez quite relieved.

There was no answer, and there was still silence.

Hernandez once again fell asleep anxiously.

Mr. Butler suddenly opened his eyes. He glanced at his young master suspiciously, then got up and quietly left the carriage.

The next morning, Mr. Housekeeper suddenly gave Hiernandez a soft mass. It looked like a mass of blue jelly, but it was warm to the touch and could move on its own. It seemed to be some kind of magical beast.

"What is this?" Hernandez poked curiously, and poked again.

"It's a low-level slime," Mr. Steward said coldly at the thing, "but it can make you feel better."

"It does feel very warm, thank you." Hernandez hugged it in his arms and smiled.

Mr. Butler hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything.

"I don't think Bruce doesn't like me very much, maybe I should let him go." After happily hugging the slime he named Blue and making out for a long time, Hiernandez suddenly turned sadly to him. said Mr. Steward.

"Why do you think so?" Mr. Butler asked.

"I don't know, it just has a feeling that it doesn't like me holding it all the time?" Hernandez thought about it seriously.

The butler gave Bruce a cold look again: "I also think you don't need to hold it all the time, it will follow you by itself."

"But it's so soft, will the stone puncture it?" Hernandez was a little worried.

"Don't worry, my young master, this is a monster. He is much tougher than you imagined." Mr. Butler said with certainty.

"Okay." Hernandez finally reluctantly put Bru on the ground, "If you want to leave, you can leave by yourself."

Blue rolled on the ground, let out a grunt, and then obediently leaned against Hernandez's feet and remained still.

"It's so cute." Hernandez laughed.

Perhaps because of having a favorite pet and improving his mood, Hernandez never heard that voice again.

Although the climate on the wasteland is still harsh, it has a rough and open beauty. With a docile pet in his arms and the company of Mr. Housekeeper, Hernandez feels that his mood has opened up a lot, and he is entangled in him. The haze in my heart for a year finally gradually dissipated.

But... Hiernandez secretly took a look at Mr. Steward. Although he was very selfish, he didn't want Mr. Steward to think he was better. At least, at least delay it for a while, until they returned from the capital, or longer .

Hernandez bowed his head guiltily, feeling that he was really too cowardly.

Blue is a very strange pet, who has no sense of existence and always likes to disappear.

On the first day, Hernandez was still a little annoyed. The weak little creature was always missing during the day, and it didn’t come out of nowhere until he went to bed at night. He was worried that it would get hurt outside, and also I don't know what to feed.

Hernandez hugged the little guy and looked at it carefully: "It looks clean, but where has it been all day?"

Blue struggled a little, and didn't seem to like being checked that much.

"Don't worry, this guy is very capable of surviving, he won't be bullied or hungry," Mr. Butler said, "Its biggest use is to let you sleep well, so just show up every night .”

"Is that so?" Hernandez scratched his head in a daze, always feeling that there was something wrong with what Mr. Butler said.

After entering the Kotma Wasteland, the caravan traveled during the day, and surrounded the carts and horses in a circle at night, igniting a warm magic flame in the middle.

Hernandez's health has almost recovered, and finally, with the permission of the housekeeper, he leaned next to the magic flame to keep warm.

"It's really amazing." Hernandez looked at the flames that were motionless in the strong wind in amazement. "Magicians are really amazing gentlemen."

"It's also a group of guys who are good at making money," the caravan leader Billy was still holding his wine. Although he was able to avoid getting drunk during the journey, it was fun to sip a little bit. "This thing is not cheap. I take your money mainly to cover this."

Hernandez nodded half-understanding: "I've never seen a magician before, what do they look like?"

Billy sneered: "It's no big deal, there is a mage's tower in Science and Art City, if you are interested, you can go in and visit it, the tickets are not expensive, but if you want to buy some magic props, you need to pay a lot It's worth it."

Hernandez immediately looked at Mr. Steward with bright eyes: "Can we go and have a look at that time? But if it's too expensive..."

Mr. Housekeeper just smiled: "Of course, young master."

The journey in the Kotma Wasteland was very smooth. There was no encounter with the legendary dragon, and no other accidents occurred. A week later, when the group arrived in Science City, Hernandez and Mr. Butler left the little one. Caravan, look for other eastward teams again.

Before leaving, there was an episode. Audrey, the lady who once tried to lure Mr. Butler to leave, had a brief conversation with Mr. Butler before the two left. As for what to say, Mr. Butler Hirnandez didn't tell Hiernandez, and Hiernandez didn't care much. Anyway, the housekeeper didn't follow her away, and that was the most important thing.

Science and Art City is the largest city in the northwest frontier of the empire. This city standing on the edge of the grassland has tall walls and strong defenses, mainly to deal with the wolves on the grassland and the barbarians in the north.The lord of the castle, Mr. Gottmoen, is a very famous hero, and his deeds are often circulated in the ballads of bards.

"Mage Tower, Mage Tower," as soon as he entered the city, Hernandez focused almost all of his attention on it. He showed an extremely rare lively energy, and began to mutter non-stop while pulling Mr. Steward's sleeve .

The Mage Tower stands in the very center of the city and is also the tallest landmark in the city.It has a white streamlined exterior wall, a towering spire, and no other decorations on the whole body, but you can vaguely see a colorful magic halo surrounding it, which is not obvious during the day, but at night, It is estimated that it will be very dazzling.

The country boy who entered the city for the first time was stunned for half an hour in front of the mage's tower, and then hesitantly asked the housekeeper: "Is this magic?"

Mr. Butler didn't seem to appreciate this ostentatious aesthetic, but nodded gently: "This is just a simple trick, purely for decoration."

"That's amazing!" Hernandez had longed for the magic world, but unfortunately he never had the chance to get in touch with it.

Tickets to enter the Mage Tower are really cheap, but only the first floor of the Mage Tower is open to the public. Some simple and practical or novel and interesting magic props are sold, such as the magic flame seen in the caravan, and the golem that can travel automatically. A magic mirror that can communicate over long distances, and even a magic car that can fly into the sky, but everything here has one thing in common: it is very expensive.

"Master, is there anything you are interested in?" Mr. Butler asked.

Hernandez shook his head again and again.

"Don't worry about the price, we have enough money." Mr. Butler assured.

Hernandez still firmly pulled Mr. Butler away.
