Wizarding World Beekeeper

In front of you is a towering and straight palace, like a golden sword, reaching straight into the sky.

There are hundreds of steps leading to the main entrance of the palace. The door is also made of brass, and the two leaves are engraved with gorgeous patterns that are blindingly bright when illuminated by the sky fire.

The rest of the city is good, but the light pollution is very serious.

Climb up the steps.

The two doors with ornately carved patterns open to the inside.

The two fire slaves stopped at the door, and the brightest one continued to lead them into the hall.

It was spacious and empty, and the sound of footsteps echoed clearly.

There is another flight of stairs at the end.

A large fire slave sat on the metal throne, with hot flames coming out of its two eyes.

That should be the Fire Slave King.

Next to the throne stood a small fire slave that looked like a can.

" @% # ?"

Liangzi lowered his head and said something to King Huonu.

The latter stood up from the throne with a bang.

His height was estimated to be over two meters, which was a huge difference compared to the little fire slave next to him.

The Huonu Dynasty opened its arms to them, and a bell-like sound came from the shiny metal body: "Welcome, my friends!" (The following dialogues are all conducted by Alais)

"It's our honor." Alais bowed slightly to him.

Hua Mi followed her example, put her hand on her chest and saluted in front of her, and stood quietly aside, listening to their chattering conversation.

"We will always remember the friendship between elves and humans, but I am confused, how did you get here?" King Huonu asked.

"Through the elemental plane of fire," Alais replied, "with the help of a companion, I was lucky enough to locate this great city."

"Very smart!" King Huonu praised, paused for a moment, and then asked: "Does this mean that we will re-establish contact with the main world?"

"I think I need to listen to your opinions before making a decision. After all, this is your city." Alais said lightly, "Other than the three of us, no one else knows about it."

"It is indeed worth thinking about carefully. After a thousand years, we still don't know whether we can integrate into the main world... By the way, you just said you three?"

"Yes, we have another companion, a Borui man, but he is missing now. Do you know where he is?"

King Huonu pondered for a moment and said, "I don't have any information about your companion here. Maybe he landed on the other side."

"the other side?"

"The other side of the temple is controlled by a group of crazy extremists who are at war with us."

It turns out that the war Huonu refers to is the civil war of their race.

The City of Brass is symmetrically divided into two parts with the Temple of Fire as its center.

Now it is occupied by two factions of Huonu with different ideas.

Alais translated and used a few short sentences to let Hua Mi understand the current difficulties facing the city.

simply put.

Here are the conservatives. They believe that since the Fire Mother is still protecting the city, it means that she has not given up on them, so they should follow the tradition, not do things that go against their ancestors, and maintain the status quo.

The other side can be called radicals. They are not willing to drift in chaos forever. They want to use the power of fire to get rid of the shackles of the heavy body and let their own fire enter the fire elemental plane to gain absolute freedom.

The two sides then launched a centuries-long battle over fire.

However, the strength of both sides has always been that of a dragon and a phoenix, indistinguishable.

Alais talked to the Huonu King for a while, and then a lanky Huonu ran over from the small door at the back and whispered something beside the Huonu King.

King Huonu immediately said to them: "I'm sorry, I have to go and supervise the battle. You can visit at will. Every elf and human who comes here as a guest will be welcomed by us.

"I will stay in the operations center at the back. If you need anything, you can come to me at any time."

After saying that, King Huo Nu stood up and left the hall through the small door at the back.

The fire slave who looked like a can stayed.

The canned fire slave walked up to them and greeted them in human and elvish respectively.

Although the pronunciation is very lame and has a heavy metallic texture.

But I can understand.

Alais couldn't wait to start the inspection. He held a "camera" in his hand and took pictures of the interior of the hall.

"Are you satisfied?" Hua Mi asked her.

"Exceeded expectations. This palace is a masterpiece of Huonu art!" Alais couldn't help but admire, "I want to record all the details."

Hua Mi felt her love for architecture, but she still had something to ask her, so she had to interrupt her immersive experience and continue the unfinished topic:

"About Uno, I want to know why you brought him here, is it out of friendship, or..."

"He is a partner, not a friend. You ask why I brought him here? Because without his assistance, I wouldn't be able to locate the Lost City...at least I wouldn't succeed so quickly." Alais was absentmindedly taking pictures. to answer.

Only then did Hua Mi understand the important role Uno played in this.

To be honest, his appearance makes it easy for people to overlook the fact that he is a scholar.

"Ales asked me to be a bodyguard. Does he have some distrust of Uno in his heart?"

Hua Mi thought for a while and asked: "As an abyss scholar, what level is he?"

"Junior Maester."

Roughly equivalent to the strength of a 4th level mage.

Hua Mi felt confident.

"Still don't trust him?"

"Whether I believe it or not, he is missing now, which is a variable."

Alais was noncommittal.

Hua Mi saw that she was obsessed with architecture and had no intention of communicating, so she decided to go to King Huonu to ask for information about the owner of the notebook.

So with the canned fire slave as a translator, he went out through the back door, passed through a backyard, came outside, passed through an aerial corridor, and entered the combat center.

King Huonu should have greeted the guards in advance and encountered no obstacles along the way.

The combat center is a round tower-shaped building, and you can take the elevator to the top.

The top floor is a spacious cylindrical room, where several fire slaves are having a heated discussion.

Compared with the individuals seen outside, the Huo slaves here are obviously brighter and larger.

One side of the room is open, with a platform extending outwards, allowing one to look into the distance.

From time to time, modrons fly in and out, delivering messages or items.

King Huonu was standing on the lookout.

Hua Mi walked over, stood beside him, and looked into the distance.

The entire city is almost unobstructed.

In terms of area, the City of Brass is not large.

But its vertical height was amazing, so the whole thing looked very compact, and the proportions looked strange to a human like him.

The Fire Temple is located in an open space in the center of the city. Several petal-shaped metal structures surround the temple.

The surrounding "sea of ​​fire" is undoubtedly the flower field formed by the "mother god's gift".

On both sides of the temple area, flickering firelights can be seen from time to time.

Is it the flames of war?

"Look, that's the place we've been fighting for." King Huonu pointed into the distance and said, "I don't know how long it will last, but no matter how difficult it is, we can't give up the fight and must win the final victory. The Mother Goddess will Bless us.”

If the Mother Goddess really bless you, we won’t be able to fight for hundreds of years with no outcome.

And judging from the scale of their war, it didn't look too big. It was just a fight in the alley.

Are you really not playing house?

Hua Mi complained in her heart.

"I would like to ask, has a human come here before? An alchemist."

"As far as I know, no."

This is strange.

The note clearly mentioned that the author was warmly welcomed by the fire slaves.

Did the author go to the other side?

Hua Mi didn't stay here longer, it would be bad if it disturbed others' fighting.

"As I said, humans are absolutely welcome here. But if you want to go to the other side, it is recommended that you avoid the war zone. After all, swordsmen are not very discerning." Before leaving, the Huonu King warned.

Hua Mi left the combat center, took out his notes and looked at the map.

"Go to the temple first."

Under the guidance of Can Can, he quickly came to a tower closest to the temple. Standing on it, he could clearly see the Temple of Fire.

It is a relatively low building. Compared with the surrounding buildings, it has a somewhat primitive texture. If it were not located in the center and protected by groups, it might be very inconspicuous.

A faint white light shot out from the top of the temple, reaching up to the sky, seeming to be continuously sending energy upwards.

The surrounding sea of ​​flowers is also particularly clear and attractive.

Their fighting area seemed to have deliberately avoided the temple area.

However, the temple is surrounded by modrons, and each passage is guarded by checkpoints and fire slave soldiers. It seems that even distinguished guests will not be let in easily.

But this is not a problem for Hua Mi.

He controls the scout bees to go out.

Send it to get information first.

"This smell..."

As soon as the scout bee's senses were connected, Hua Mi immediately smelled a strange floral fragrance, which was undoubtedly emitted by the Mother Goddess' gift.

It may not be very sensitive to humans, but to scout bees, it's like having flower petals shoved under their noses.

The smell is hard to describe. Rather than the smell of fresh flowers, it is more like the smell of heat-dried petals.

Hua Mi controlled the scout bee to fly above the sea of ​​flowers, landing on one of the flowers with the strongest fragrance, and observed it carefully with the help of the bee's eyes.

There is honey.

Moreover, the ovary is swollen, and there should be seeds inside.

very good.

The scout bee took off again and flew towards the temple.

The temple has no doors or windows, but there are many gaps.

These gaps are very small but large enough for a bee to pass through.

The scout bee flew in through one of the gaps.

It was very empty inside.

A luminous pattern is carved on the ground in the middle, and a structure made of several metal rings nested in each other is suspended above the pattern.

In the center of these metal rings is a pale fireball.

Probably only as big as his fist, pure white flames bloomed quietly.

"Is this the fire?"

It doesn't look like anything special.

The original purpose of creating this fire was to communicate with the Fire Mother.

But in his opinion, this was just an ordinary fireball.

When the mage comes, he can easily create a larger one by rubbing it.

Highly doubtful of its actual use.

Whether there is what they call a "fire mother" in the fire elemental plane is another matter.

Maybe it's just the self-comfort of the fire slaves.

When it comes to things like faith, sometimes the key lies in trust.

Hua Mi controlled the scout bees to get closer and was about to observe carefully.

Suddenly, he heard a strange sound.

It was like someone was whispering.

The sound frequency is very low and is infrasound waves that humans cannot detect.

But the scout bees were able to capture it clearly.

The source of the sound seems to be...tinder.

Immediately afterwards, Hua Mi saw the rings slowly rotating.

Some are fast and some are slow, seemingly irregular.

As the ring rotates, the faint humming sound is no longer steady, but changes in pitch.

It was as if someone was whispering in his ear, which made Hua Mi's hair stand on end.

call--

A white line of fire suddenly shot out from the fire and rushed straight towards the scout bee.

In an instant, the Scout Bee was enveloped in a ball of pale flames.

Almost at the same time, Hua Mi lost the senses shared by Scout Bees.

"This thing will automatically attack the target?"

Hua Mi was a little annoyed, thinking that the scout bee was dead.

But after he took a closer look, he actually established contact with the units in the temple.

The scout bee is not dead!

But it can no longer connect to its senses.

Was the sense organ destroyed by the flames?

wrong.

Hua Mi clearly felt that something had happened to the bee in the temple.

It is not the same as the mutation after using the mutagen. It was directly changed in a more direct and crude way.

This power seems more mysterious than magic.

Hua Mi immediately controlled the bee and flew out of the temple.

Fly right back to him.

Sure enough, it has mutated.

There are obvious changes in appearance.

The body surface color is no longer yellow-black.

The whole body turned pale, except for a few black fine lines on the abdomen.

It’s not just the appearance that changes.

And inside.

Hua Mi could clearly sense that there was a restless and powerful force in its body.

The white bee hovered quietly above his palm, waiting for his command.

Hua Mi had a thought.

call--

A ball of pale flame the size of a baby's fist burned instantly, completely enveloping the white bee.

Because they are all white, the bees are almost invisible inside.

If he hadn't sensed its existence, Hua Mi would have thought it had been burned to ashes.

The bee in the flame not only didn't suffer any burns, but actually felt like a fish in water and became even more excited.

And Hua Mi's control over it was not disturbed.

Following his mental instructions, pale flames flew in front of him, like will-o'-the-wisps.

Hua Mi's mood gradually became active.

I was just out of curiosity to get some information, but I didn't expect to find something unexpected.

This is fireball.

No, it's more powerful than fireball.

A swarm of blue fire bees can form a big fireball under his control.

This fireball can be divided or combined.

If they unite, they will explode in a concentrated manner, if they separate, the fire will rain down.

Most importantly, it can be reused.

It can do single-target damage, it can AOE, and it can also sneak up on you...

This is the real fireball technique!

Without saying anything, Hua Mi immediately copied the template of this new bee species.

"Since it can emit pale flames, let's call it...the Blue Fire Bee."

On the observation deck, Hua Mi practiced controlling the Blue Fire Bee with great interest, while the canned fire slave beside him was already shocked and speechless.

After a while, he exclaimed in broken human language: "This is the flame of the Mother Goddess! How did you do it?"

The two chapters were posted together~

The City of Brass won’t have much space, and it will be back in tomorrow’s update.

The main theme of this book is farming and beekeeping. I will deliberately control the length of the adventure plot to ensure that it does not take up too much, so as not to turn it into an adventure novel.

I don’t know if this is in line with everyone’s taste. You can tell me what you think. I will adjust the subsequent writing method based on readers’ opinions.

Thank you for your support~
