He was holding a wooden bucket in his hand. There were a few shells and shiny pebbles at the bottom of the bucket. The top layer was filled with fresh small fish. You could also see moving crabs, but they were quickly replaced by new ones.
The fish is pressed below.
Walking on the beach, the boy bent down again. This time, he picked up a small fish. Unfortunately, the whole bucket was full, so he threw it hard and threw the fish into the sea.
Looking at the sea in the distance, watching the splashing water of the small fish, the boy clapped his hands with satisfaction and was about to take the harvest home, but his attention was attracted by the light reflected on the sea.
A shiny vial that looks embedded with gold is floating on the sea.
The boy's breathing quickened. He looked left and right to make sure no one else saw him, then took off his open coat, dove into the sea, and swam towards the vial.
At that time, he didn't know that his life's destiny would be changed because of this thing.
Not long after, he climbed onto the shore again, all wet, and he was holding the unique vial in his hand.
"Is this...an alchemical product?"
The surface of the vial was inlaid with a layer of gold, and the gold was dotted with various gems. Looking at the vial in his hand, the boy's breathing quickened. The gold and gems used to make the vial alone were worth a lot of money. Bracada's Alchemy
Masters, he will definitely like this thing. As long as he can sell it, he will no longer have to worry about food and clothing.
Soon, the young man put his eyes on the seal of the vial. The vial was heavy to hold, and he didn't know how it floated on the sea. Could it be that it contained some kind of gas?
The young man thought secretly, and he knew that when you exhale underwater, the gas will float to the surface. And if you seal those gases, you can get something to support the floating, just like the inflated swim bladder in the body of a fish.
No alchemist has ever taught him this, and he cannot afford to study magic, but he has always observed the world in his own way.
In the boy's memory, there was an alchemist who commented on his keen observation and planned to accept him as his apprentice, but in the end he gave up because of his poverty. If he could have taken out this vial at that time, he might have made the alchemist change his mind.
Right?
With this thought in mind, the boy opened the bottle cap.
Before selling the vial to the alchemist, he needs to confirm that there is no harmful substance in it. If he accidentally hurts the alchemist, he and his family will not be able to afford the compensation.
With a "pop" sound, the young man opened the cap of the vial. In an instant, a strong wind blew, and the entire vial shook violently. Even the space seemed to be different.
The young man didn't know what happened. He was so panicked that he quickly threw the vial out.
The vial did not fall to the ground, but was suspended in the air. Light blue gas spurted out from the mouth of the bottle. The gas did not scatter, but condensed together. There was a faint thunder vibration in the sky, which made the young man tremble with fear.
From the front, a huge strange man made of blue gas appeared in front of the young man.
"I'm finally free! Are you the human who freed me?"
It's true to say that he is a weirdo. His whole body is sky blue. Although he has the upper body of a human, he is dozens of times larger than the average person. He is simply bigger than the giant in the boy's memory. In addition, he
The lower part of the body is like gas, and the end is connected to the vial.
The weirdo opened his hands wide and roared toward the sky, venting the anger that had been imprisoned in the bottle for countless years. His rage triggered rolling thunder in the sky. The dull thunder made the young man dare not breathe, let alone answer the weirdo's questions. "Don't be afraid. I am Somra, the strongest hero and monster. Thousands of years ago, I challenged Thelma for the power of the air element monarch. In the end, I failed and was sealed in a bottle by him."<
/p>
There was a lightning-like magnetism in the strange man's voice. The boy could not understand the meaning of his words. He only knew that his name was Somra, and he seemed to be very powerful, even more powerful than those alchemists.
"I won't hurt you. I have been imprisoned in a bottle for thousands of years. I have already made an oath. I will grant three wishes to anyone who can release me." As he said that, the blue weirdo raised three fingers.
"Now tell me your wish. No matter what you want, as long as it is within my ability, I can fulfill it for you. Once you finish making your wish, I will continue to challenge the Lord of Air Elements."
Now the young man finally understood what he meant, and his breathing became rapid for a moment.
Many thoughts flashed through the young man's mind. He wanted to spend endless amounts of gold and silver jewelry, he wanted to have a healthy and long-lived body, he wanted to have beautiful beauties, and he also wanted to eat endless delicacies.
Endless desires surged toward the young man, and he was faced with countless choices. He believed that even if he said he wanted to become the king of Brakada, the blue weirdo in front of him could help him do it.
Not getting an answer from the boy for a long time, Somla folded his hands in front of him. He had been locked in a bottle for countless years and didn't care about waiting for this little time, even if the boy needed to wait for decades or hundreds of years before he could give himself.
Somla would not have any objection to the answer, it was the oath he swore in the bottle.
Finally, the boy's eyes regained clarity, and he asked a question that Somla didn't expect.
"Can you do magic?"
"Magic?" Somra laughed loudly. He raised his hand, and then the wind roared, dark clouds rolled in, the earth shook, thunder and lightning flashed, "You mean this?"
"That's it!" There seemed to be light in the young man's eyes, "My first wish is for you to teach me magic...at least to the point where I am at the same level as you."
"No problem. But magic is difficult to learn. People without wisdom can only learn a little bit in their lifetime. I will try my best to teach you, but maybe no matter how hard you try, you still won't be able to learn magic in the end.
." Somla reminded him.
"It doesn't matter. Even if I can't learn magic, it only means that I have no talent. I have two other wishes." The young man replied firmly.
Listening to the young man's firm words, the monster couldn't help but glance at him. The young man's firmness was very rare. It was a rare trait in humans: "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what is your name?"<
/p>
"My name is Gwen, Gwen Magnus." The young man stared at the monster and threw the barrel aside, letting the fish scatter aside. "Without further ado, teach me magic now."<
/p>
"When it comes to magic, we have to mention the most basic 'Magic Arrow'..."
Somra patiently taught the young man the simplest magic, which is also the first spell that all mages will learn in the future, Magic Arrow.
On this deserted beach, the boy formed an indissoluble bond with magic and the monster.
