Section 259 On the road
Three days later, after hard work, Mo Li finally lifted the princess's black silk knot. And Roman also arranged for the empire-related magicians to investigate this matter. However, there are several more magic mentors around the princess. It seems that the emperor is still worried about the princess.
In the morning, when the sun came in through the window, Mo Li slowly opened his eyes. After a night of meditation, the lost mental strength was finally replenished. This time, the black silk knot was released for the princess. To be honest, she almost killed Mo Li. This time it is different from the black charm. This black silk knot has changed a lot. As Mo Li guessed before, someone in the demon clan may have really mastered the ability of the magic array. An imperceptible magic array was added to the black silk knot. If it hadn't been for Mo Li's care, he would have almost died with the princess. Therefore, when removing the black silk knot, Mo Li's mental power was extremely consumed. After a night of hard work, I have finally recovered a little.
Slowly opened the window and breathed the fresh air outside, which filled the whole body with a burst of comfort. Mo Li felt that every cell in his body was relaxing. He stretched out and turned around and walked out of the door. Everyone discussed it yesterday. Today, we will leave the Richeng together and arrive at the demon continent as soon as possible.
After Mo Li walked out of the door, he happened to see Roman walking in through the railing of the stairs. Mo Li waved to him and said, "Elder Roman, good morning."
"Hehe, don't leave early. We're leaving today. Are you ready?"
Mo Li quickly went downstairs, walked to Roman and said with a smile, "There is nothing to prepare. Senior, have you had breakfast yet?
Roman nodded and said, "I've already eaten, how about you?"
"We have eaten for a long time, and only someone hasn't come down to eat." Yu's jokes came from behind Mo Li.
Mo Li turned around and saw Yu, black charm and others standing behind him in uniform, even Ji Fanyu. At this time, everyone was looking at him with strange eyes.
Mo Li couldn't help feeling red on his face. Last night's meditation was so distracting that it seems that it's not early now. Mo Li touched her head and said with a shy smile, "Well, I'm sorry. But I'm not hungry. Let's go now."
Roman shook his head with a smile and said, "Mo Li, don't be stubborn and treat the princess. I know your hard work. If not, we will wait for you. You can eat something quickly. This time we are going far away, so don't be hungry. That's not easy to do."
How could Mo Li agree so much that he didn't want to let so many people look at him. So he shook his head quickly and said, "It's okay. I'm not very hungry. I was full at the palace last night. I'm not very hungry yet. Let's go now. After saying that, he ran out as if he wanted to run for his life without waiting for what the crowd said.
Roman shook his head and followed Mo Li out.
"Mo Li, this is for you." Mo Li, who was speeding, was suddenly stopped by the black charm. I can't help looking back. The black charm smiled and gave herself a small package. Mo Li took it casually and asked with a smile, "What is it?"
"You will know when you open it." The black charm said with a smile, and then pulled the women around her and walked forward.
Mo Li opened the package curiously. A fragrance came to my nose. Mo Li's stomach couldn't help screaming. Mo Li looked around a few times and saw that everyone was walking ahead and no one paid attention to himself. He grabbed a piece of beef in the package and ate it. Not to mention that after yesterday's treatment, Mo Li not only consumed a lot of mental strength, but also physically and physically exerted a lot. After eating a hot breakfast, Mo Li couldn't help but feel warm and grateful to the black charm. This woman is quite careful.
"Mo Li, is it delicious?"
"It's delicious. I'm starving to death." Mo Li replied subconsciously. Suddenly, I felt something was wrong there and turned my head to look at the place where the sound was made. I was stunned at once. I don't know when everyone gathered around me. I'm staring at myself curiously. And the one who asked himself was Roman with a bad smile. You..." The beef in Mo Li's hand has slipped to the ground at some point, and his face is so hot that he can't say a word.
Kaier stared at the crowd, walked to Mo Li, patted him gently on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Okay, child, eat quickly. Everyone knows that you are tired, so breakfast has been prepared for you for a long time. But you just want to show off your face and be strong.
Looking at the people he cared about, Mo Li's nose was sore, and he immediately turned his head and ate breakfast piece by piece. Didn't say anything.
The sky is slowly getting dark, and the outline of the hills in the upper reaches of the river can no longer be seen clearly. The sound of birds has been replaced by the singing of summer insects. The cooking smoke from the village in the distance gives people a unique smell at home. Mo Li even heard the loud aunt in the village calling her child home.
Mo Li looked at the gray-blue sky, took a heavy breath, then put on his shoes and ran home. Although he didn't want to see his mother's disappointed expression because he couldn't practice magic, he knew that if he didn't go back late, his mother would be more worried.
When he ran to the door of his house, Mo Li saw from afar that there were black figures next to the small trees in front of his house, and now he was looking around at his side. Mo Li's nose was sour for no reason, and then ran over quickly. That figure will never be forgotten for the rest of his life. She is like a grass in the strong wind, as if it is about to drift away with the wind.
"Mother, I'm back." Mo Li ran to the side of the figure and said in a trembling voice.
A pair of warm hands touched Mo Li's slightly cold cheeks. Although it is summer now, the weather in the mountains has not changed too hot. Mo Li felt a warmth on his body, as if the warmth on his face had entered his heart.
"Just come back. Let's go home for dinner." Mother picked up Mo Li's novel and said gently, "Li'er, guess what delicious food my mother made for you tonight?" My mother suddenly turned around and looked at Mo Li mysteriously.
Mo Li was stunned. Is it delicious? What delicious food can a family like yourself have? In Mo Li's memory, the best food was the red-skinned egg her mother made for herself on her fourth birthday. But he later learned that his mother borrowed it from Master Del Rey's cook, because he also washed the dishes and chopsticks for half a month.
Mo Li pretended to be excited and said, "I can't guess, good mother, just tell me..." After saying that, he rubbed his mother's arm with his head.
"Hehe..." The mother smiled and bent her eyes, like a crescent in the air. Mo Li looked at her mother as if she had seen the whole world.
"Tell me, I really can't guess." When Mo Li saw that her mother didn't say anything, she acted coquettishly.
"Come on, look for yourself." After saying that, Mo Li let go and quickly walked into the room. Mo Li was stunned for a moment and followed in.
This is a simple house. There is almost nothing to lift in the room except a small low table. Almost all the things used for cooking were made by my mother, either supported by wood or made of neat stones.
A bean-like oil lamp was lit by my mother, and a faint yellow halo filled the whole room. At this time, you can clearly see the mottled white paint on the wall of the room, and several places even exposed black things. There are also several animals that are barely rabbits, which Mo Li drew when he was very young. This can be seen from the height of the rabbit. Although the room was dilapidated, it was sorted out by my mother, and even the black smoke left on the wall was carefully scraped away by my mother. This is Mo Li's kitchen.
The mother took out a plate from the covered black pot, and a strange fragrance immediately came out. Mo Li took a few hard breaths, with an intoxicated but confused expression on her face.
"What is that mother?" Mo Li asked curiously, and his depression of not being able to learn magic was temporarily left behind by him.
The mother looked at her son's curious expression and smiled faintly. She put the plate on the low table in front of her son and said, "This is the best rabbit meat. It was sent by your uncle Chris."
Uncle Cles? Have you recovered from your leg injury?"
"Yes, this is when he went up the mountain today, he happened to see a rabbit crashing to death on a big tree." Mother said while serving food for Mo Li. Mo Li noticed that her mother's eyes were full of tenderness when she spoke.
"Okay, eat it quickly." His mother sat opposite Mo Li, gave him a large piece of rabbit meat, and said lovingly.
"Mother, you should also eat more." Mo Li also put a large piece for his mother.
Looking at Mo Li devouring food, his mother smiled happily. She didn't eat too much rabbit meat, but kept feeding it to Mo Li. And I ate the rice in the bowl. Soon they finished their meal.
"Mother." While her mother was cleaning up the kitchen, Mo Li stopped her.
"What's the matter?" The mother asked without raising her head.
"I..." Mo Li wanted to tell his mother that he didn't pass the magic school examination, but for some reason, he couldn't say a word. He just held the ten copper coins in his hand and looked at his busy mother a little aggrievedly.
Seeing that her son had not spoken for a long time, the mother couldn't help looking up at Mo Li. When she saw Mo Li's expression, she already knew what her son was going to say. In fact, my mother already knew about Mo Li at school in the afternoon. When Kathy saw Mo Li's mother in the afternoon, he told her the result. The reason why she didn't say it at night was to distract her son.
"Is it a school thing?" The mother came to her son, squatted down, hugged him and said gently, "Actually, that's nothing. If you can't be a magician, Li'er can do anything else. As long as you work hard, you will always have your own way out.
"But I just like magic..." Mo Li shouted, got into his mother's arms, and cried loudly. All grievances and unwillingness completely broke out at this moment. The little boy cried hard to vent his inner pain. The slightly thin body kept trembling with his crying.
The mother held her son tightly in her arms. A trace of pain flashed on his face again.
"Okay, don't cry. Li'er is the bravest." Mother comforted.
"Mother!" The little boy suddenly raised his head and looked at his mother with bright eyes. I don't believe that I can't learn magic. Mo Li said, "I want to prove to everyone that I can't help learning magic and become the Kohler Empire. Well, no, it should be the most powerful magician on the mainland!"
Looking at her son's young but firm face, Mo Li's mother couldn't help but feel pain. I sighed in my heart: I didn't expect your son to be as stubborn as you.
With the comfort of his mother, Mo Li finally entered his dream. But the mother did not sleep, but stared at her sleeping son and started to stare. Li'er, idiot." Two lines of tears flowed down my mother's cheeks. She didn't wipe it away and couldn't help holding her sleeping son tightly.
"Mo Li."
Mo Li heard someone calling his name vaguely. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw a magician in a golden magic robe looking at him with a smile. The six-pointed star pattern on the magician's chest told Mo Li that the person in front of him was the most respected magician in the mainland.
"Who are you?" Mo Li said respectfully, and couldn't help but be excited. The magician actually saw the noble great magician. And from his golden magic robe, Mo Li can confirm that he is the most powerful magician of the Royal Academy of Magic in the empire.
Because of his obsession with magic, Mo Li knew a lot about magic. He acquires knowledge related to magic through various channels. Even if he has something to do with magic, he won't let it go. Mo Li still learned about the Imperial School of Magic from the old man Kathy. The Imperial Magic Academy is the highest magic academy of the Kohler Empire, where teachers are all wearing golden magic robes. And the lowest is also the great magician.
"You don't care who I am, son. I'm just here to tell you not to give up your dream of magic, because you will be the greatest magician in the whole Tenglong continent. There are a lot of things waiting for you to finish. The magician said in a gentle voice.
"But I don't have any magical talent." Mo Li said a little aggrievedly.
The magician stroked Mo Li's little head and said, "Child, remember, there is no absolute in everything. As long as you do it with your heart, you will get the result you want."
When Mo Li woke up the next day, it was already bright. Before Mo Li got up, he smelled the fragrance of cooking from his mother next door. He got up, quickly dressed, and then walked to the yard. Then he washed his face with the water his mother had prepared for a long time, and then walked into the kitchen. Mo Li guessed correctly. At this time, her mother had already put the food on the low table. Seeing Mo Li coming in, he smiled and motioned him to sit down for dinner.
"Little Mo Li!" While the mother and son were eating, a rough voice came from outside the room. Hearing this sound, Mo Li suddenly stood up and ran out quickly.
"slow down." The mother said with a smile. Obviously, she already knew who the person was. She slowly stood up and tidied up her long hair. She also followed her son out.
"Uncle Cly, are you here?" When Mo Li ran out of the room, he happened to see a burly man coming over. The man was wearing a short suit, and his clothes could not cover his strong chest muscles, shaking back and forth as he walked. His bronze skin and short and hard yellow hair make him look very tough.
"Xiao Moli, have you eaten yet?" The big man walked to Mo Li and asked, touching his little head with a simple smile on his face, which formed a great incongruity with his body shape.
At this time, Mo Li's mother just came out. She smiled and said, "We are eating. Has Chris eaten yet? Why don't we eat some together?"
"I've already eaten it." Chris smiled and said, "I came here today to take Mo Li to hunt. Since you haven't eaten yet, let's eat first."
Mo Li's mother looked at Chris gratefully, and she knew what she meant. She must have come here because she knew about Mo Li's school yesterday, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she enthusiastically let Clays go to the kitchen and then urged Mo Li to eat quickly.
Mo Li quickly finished the meal in the bowl, and then wiped his mouth and said to his mother, "I'm full." Then he stood up and took Chris and said, "Uncle Chris, let's go. I haven't hunted yet. Today I'm going to come back from hunting a rabbit for my mother.
"Okay, haha. As long as you like learning to hunt, uncle will make you the best hunter. Clay laughed, and then he said goodbye to Mo Li's mother and left with Mo Li.
Looking at the back of the two leaving, Mo Li's mother couldn't help sighing softly, "I hope Li'er can really like hunting, so that she can live a safe life."
But fate did not satisfy the mother's wishes, and bad luck was extending its terrible hands to the poor woman...
Cos Mountain is a small hill north of Moli's village. Many hunters in the village hunt in this mountain. This mountain is not very large, but there are many small animals, which is enough for everyone to hunt. Although Mo Li often went to play in the mountains, Mo Li, who had been obsessed with magic since he was a child, never thought that he would become a hunter, so although he often went up the mountain with Clay, he did not have any interest in Clay's exquisite hunting skills. His only preference was to save the world and pick a large number of beautiful flowers and then give them to himself. Mother.
But this time it was different. Before going up the mountain, Mo Li could ask Cray for a pair of small bows and arrows, because he wanted to catch a rabbit for his mother with his own hands.
The two walked up the rugged mountain road. Along the way, Chris kept talking to Mo Li about hunting skills, and Mo Li rarely listened carefully. His joy can be seen from the smile on Chris's face.
Chrys is the only bachelor in the village. Mo Li doesn't know why he didn't marry. He is extremely arrogant in the village because of his superb hunting skills, and he doesn't even give face to Lord Kai, which is why Mo Li likes him. But it is this arrogant person who is particularly good to Mo Li's family. He not only helps them from time to time, but also sends all kinds of wild animals.
may also be the reason why he is single. Chris's superb hunting skills have wanted to pass on to Mo Li for a long time, but Mo Li only liked magic before. Clay, who often went up the mountain with Mo Li, naturally understood all this, so he did not say his thoughts and did not force Mo Li. Learn your own skills. But this time it was different. After learning about Mo Li's magic school, he didn't fall asleep all night, so he appeared at Mo Li's door early in the morning.
"Uncle Chris, what do you mean by three points and one line?" Mo Li asked with a bow and arrow.
"Did you see that tree?" Chris pointed his thick finger at a small tree not far away and said, "The so-called three-point and one line to save your eyes and the tip of the arrow in your hand and your target should be kept on the same line." He took off the bow and arrow on his back and put on a white feather arrow to demonstrate: "Let your eyes and the tip of the arrow and the little tree stay on the same line, then stabilize your left hand, and then release the right hand that pulls the string." I only heard "Wh!" With a sound of breaking the air, the feather arrow flew out quickly and then nailed it to the tree trunk with a tink. In this way, you can shoot the prey you want.
"Then I'll try it too." Mo Li scholar Chris put on a feather arrow, and after confirming a line, he let go of his stringing hand, but to Mo Li's disappointment, the feather arrow did not shoot on the tree as the owner wanted, but passed through the tree and flew into the bushes. Mo Li looked at the flying feather arrow and couldn't help sighing.
"Don't be discouraged. It was always like this at the beginning. You just deviated from a small distance. You should know that when you first started to learn archery, you didn't shoot arrows." Chris comforted.
"Really?" Mo Li was really amused by him.
"Yes. Xiao Moli, remember that no matter what you do, you must keep a calm mind. Only when you stabilize your mind can you successfully achieve your goal. This is especially true for archery. Only when you can stabilize your heart and aim at your target can you hit the prey you want. Come on, shoot another arrow for your uncle."
"Hmm!" Mo Li took out an arrow again, but this time he was not in a hurry to shoot it. He breathed hard a few times, and then concentrated himself and carefully aimed at the small tree. After confirming the three-point line, he suddenly loosened his right hand and saw a white light "sw!" It flew out, "Ding!" It was nailed to the small tree, and his arrow was next to the feather arrow of Chris.
Family affection, Mo Li finally felt a little again.
