The cowherd was stunned for a while. It wasn't until the cow brayed a few times that he finally realized what he was doing. He quickly stepped forward to hold the cow and said thank you, "Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty."
Nierti smiled, turned and left.
The cowherd looked at her back and stood there in shock for a long time. He waited until she completely disappeared in the forest before leading the cow back.
I just didn't expect that as soon as I returned to the village, a scene of fire came into view.
"It's on fire, put out the fire quickly!"
"The fire is too strong!"
Most of the buildings here are made of wood and are adjacent to forests, so it is very easy to catch fire.
By the time the villagers discovered the fire, several houses had already caught fire, including the cowherd's home.
The cowherd's family members were all busy putting out the fire. When he saw this, he quickly tied up the cow and rushed to put out the fire.
However, the fire grew stronger and stronger, and continued to spread. One house after another was set ablaze, and thick smoke rose into the sky.
Not only that, the flames also burned into the forest. If the burning continues at this rate, I am afraid that this large mountain forest will be turned into a sea of fire.
Seeing that it was of no avail, the cowherd became more and more anxious, sweating profusely, and immediately said to the people around him: "You guys wait here, I'll find someone!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran into the forest.
Somewhere in the forest, a small wooden house was built along the water. In front of the wooden house door, Kalulu was waving his hands nervously. Following his movements, golden-red light burst out from time to time.
The golden-red rays of light flowed and danced, trying to form a circle, but at every critical moment, they would lose their formation and become scattered amid a tremor.
There seems to be an elusive balance at play throughout this process.
Nierti sat quietly and watched.
"call"
After a while, Kalulu exhaled in frustration, sat down on the ground, and looked at Nildi: "Why do you learn so fast?"
"I don't know either. You'll get used to it as you learn." Nildi shrugged.
Kalulu frowned and looked at his hands. His fingers were trembling slightly due to frequent practice.
Just staring at his hands for a moment, he said: "I think maybe I can design a magical weapon."
"What magic weapon?" Nilti asked.
Kalulu: "A magic weapon that can help open the portal."
"Do you have any ideas?"
Kalulu shook his head: "Not yet, I just said it casually. But my intuition tells me that I should be able to design such a magical weapon."
While the two were talking, Nielty took out the "Book of Darkness" and put it in his hand to study.
Kalulu frowned upon seeing this: "Nilti, this sealed book obviously has evil content, and we shouldn't study it."
Nilti doesn't think so: "How can magic be divided into good and evil? Only mages can be divided into good and evil."
"No, dear, magic also has good and evil qualities, such as..."
At this moment, a faint cry came from the distance: "Sir, save my village, please!"
Nielty listened carefully, then opened the portal with a wave of his hands. When he stepped out of the portal, he saw a miserable farmer, who was just the cowherd.
As soon as she appeared, the cowherd quickly knelt down and said, "Kind-hearted lord, please save my village, please! Please!"
The cowherd begged you several times in succession, but never said what happened. It was typical of his speech to be without focus.
But when Nildi looked up, he saw smoke floating in the sky in the distance, and he immediately understood something: "Your village is on fire?"
"Yes, yes." The cowherd nodded repeatedly and added in disbelief, "How do you know?"
"..." Nielty said nothing, opened the portal again, and arrived at the village on fire.
The cowherd hesitated for a moment, then followed through the portal and returned to the village.
The fire has developed into a forest fire, with thick smoke and flames everywhere, and a burning smell filling the air.
Some villagers were still putting out the fire, while others had already begun to flee. No one noticed Nilti's arrival.
Seeing the village in flames, the cowherd became even more anxious. He knelt down and said, "Sir, save the village quickly!"
Nilti had a serious look on her face and kept waving her hands. As she moved, a golden-red halo of light formed and expanded, eventually reaching a diameter of several meters.
"Wow"
As soon as this large portal was formed, a torrential river flowed out of it, hung in the air, poured like a waterfall on the place where the flames were the strongest, and then spread in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, the fierce fire was suppressed.
As more and more river water passed through the portal, the fire quickly subsided, and then the excess river water was transported away again, and calm returned to the place after a while.
The villagers came to kowtow to Nierti one after another, thanking him profusely and worshiping him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, you are the kindest person in the world."
"You must be the reincarnation of Buddha!"
Nilti looked at the kneeling villagers: "I live in the nearby forest. If you encounter any trouble that cannot be solved in the future, you can come to me."
"May I ask your venerable name?" a villager asked cautiously.
Nilti thought for a moment, but did not say his real name: "You can call me 'Ni'."
Since then, Nilti has been helping nearby villagers from time to time through the magic she learned from "White Magic". The villagers also regard her as a god and a Buddha, and worship her.
Kalulu is still practicing teleportation magic hard, but his magic talent is far behind Nildi, and he has made no progress in several years.
Until this day.
In the cabin, Kalulu held a carving knife in his hand, carefully carving a brass ring, and outlined complex patterns on it.
This brass ring has a strange shape, with double holes, and seems to be worn on two fingers.
After some more carving, Kalulu observed it carefully for a moment, then put the ring on his hand, and then began to cast a spell, trying to open the portal.
The result was a big disappointment for him. After wearing the ring, he still failed to successfully open the portal, and there was no obvious difference from before.
"How could this happen..." Kalulu pinched the brass ring and said distressedly.
At this time Nierti came in from outside, carrying two chickens in his hands, and said with a smile: "Let's eat this tonight, a villager just sent it."
Kalulu had no intention of looking at the chicken, and his eyes still stayed on the brass ring. After a while, he said: "Come and help me find out what is wrong with the "hanging ring" I designed."
Nierti came over, took the hanging ring from his hand, and observed it carefully for nearly half an hour.
"How is it?" Kalulu asked.
Nierti didn't say anything, but picked up the carving knife and cut the brass ring twice, making a notch on both sides.
"Try again." She handed the modified hanging ring to Kalulu.
Kalulu was dubious, but still put the hanging ring on his hand and tried to open the portal again.
Then he waved his hands, and a portal appeared in front of him, which was both smooth and abrupt.
