Chapter 2666: monster in a bottle

At low tide, the boy walks on the shore.
He was carrying a wooden barrel in his hand. The bottom of the barrel was filled with a few shells and shiny pebbles. The top layer was filled with fresh small fish and crabs that were moving around, but they were quickly replaced by new ones. The fish is pressed down.
Walking on the beach, the boy bent down again. This time, he picked up a small fish, but unfortunately the entire bucket was full, so he threw the fish hard and threw it into the sea.
Looking at the sea in the distance, watching the water splashed by the small fish, the teenager clapped his hands with satisfaction, and was about to go home with the harvest, but was attracted by the light spots reflected on the sea.
A gleaming, gold-encrusted vial floated on the sea.
The boy's breathing became rapid, he looked left and right, and after confirming that no one else saw it, he took off his open coat, plunged into the sea water, and swam in the direction of the vial.
At that time, he didn't know that his life's destiny would be changed because of this thing.
After a while, he was soaked all over again and climbed back to the shore, the unique vial was being held in his hand.
"This is... an alchemy product?"
The surface of the vial is inlaid with a layer of gold, and the gold is dotted with various precious stones. Looking at the vial in his hand, the boy's breathing became rapid. The gold and gemstones used to make the vial can be worth a fortune. The alchemists of Bracada will definitely like this thing. As long as he can sell it, he can never worry about food and clothing.
Soon, the boy put his eyes on the seal of the vial. The vial was heavy to hold, and he didn't know how it floated in the sea. Could it be some kind of gas?
The young man pondered secretly, he knew that when he exhaled underwater, the gas would float to the surface. And if you seal up those gases, you can get support for floating things, just like the swim bladder in the fish's body.
No alchemist ever taught him this, and he couldn't afford to study magic, but he always saw the world in his own way.
In the young man's memory, an alchemist once commented that he was observant, and planned to accept him as a disciple, but in the end he gave up because of his poverty. If he could take out this vial at that time, he might be able to make the alchemist change his mind. Bar?
With that in mind, the boy opened the bottle cap.
Before selling the vial to the alchemist, he needs to confirm that there are no harmful substances in it. If he accidentally hurts the alchemist, he and his family will not be able to pay for it.
With the sound of "wave", the bottle cap that sealed the vial was lifted by the young man. In an instant, the wind was blowing violently, and the entire vial vibrated violently, and even the space seemed to be different.
The young man didn't know what happened, and he was flustered, and hurriedly threw the vial out.
The vial did not land on the ground, but was suspended in the air. The blue gas spewed out from the mouth of the bottle. The gas did not disperse, but condensed together. There was a faint thunder vibration in the sky. The pressure that made the young man tremble came from the front. A strange person appeared in front of the boy.
"I'm finally free! Are you the human who let me out?"
It is true that he is a weirdo. His whole body is sky blue. Although he has a human upper body, he is dozens of times larger than the average person. The lower part of the body is like gas, and the vial is attached to the end.
The eccentric opened his hands and roared towards the sky, venting the anger that had been imprisoned for countless years in the bottle. His anger caused the rolling thunder in the sky, and the dull thunder made the young man dare not breathe, let alone answer the eccentric question. .
"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, but I failed and was sealed in a bottle by him."
There was a lightning-like magnetism in the strange voice. The young man could not understand the meaning of his words, he only knew that his name was Somura, who seemed to be very powerful, even more powerful than those alchemists.
"I won't hurt you. I've been imprisoned in a bottle for thousands of years, and I've already made an oath. Whoever can let me out, I'll fulfill three wishes." Said, the blue geek raised three fingers, "Now say your wish, no matter what you want, as long as it is within my ability, I can do it for you. After you make your wish, I will continue to challenge the Qi element monarch."
This time, the boy finally understood what he meant, and his breathing became short for a while.
Many thoughts flashed in the young man's mind. He wanted endless gold and silver jewelry, a healthy and long-lived body, beautiful beauties of national beauty, and delicious delicacies that could not be eaten.
Infinite desires rushed towards the young man. He was faced with countless choices. He believed that even if he said he wanted to become the king of Brakada, the blue monster in front of him could do it for him.
After getting no answer from the teenager, Somra put his hands in front of him. He was locked in the bottle for countless years, and he didn't care about waiting for this time, even if the teenager needed him to wait for decades, hundreds of years, before he could give himself The answer, Somra will have no opinion, that is the oath he swore in the bottle.
In the end, the boy's eyes returned to clarity, and he turned to ask a question that Somra didn't expect.
"Can you do magic?"
"Magic?" Somra laughed, he raised his hand, and the wind whistled, the dark clouds rolled, the ground shook, and the thunder and lightning flashed, "You mean this?"
"That's it!" The boy's eyes seemed to glow, "My first wish is for you to teach me magic... At least to a level similar to yours."
"No problem. But magic is hard to learn. People without wisdom can only learn a little bit in their life. I will try my best to teach you, but maybe no matter how hard you try, you will still not be able to learn magic in the end. ." Somra 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 boy replied firmly.
Hearing the young man's firm words, the gods couldn't help but give him a high look. The firmness of a young man is very rare, which is a rare trait in human beings: "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what's your name?"
"My name is Gwen, Gwen Magnus." The boy stared at the gods and said, and at the same time threw the wooden barrel in his hand to the side, letting the fish scattered, "It's not too late, teach me magic now."
"When it comes to magic, we have to mention the most basic 'magic arrow'..."
Somra patiently taught the boy the simplest magic, and it was also the first spell that all mages would learn in the future, the magic arrow.
On this deserted beach, the boy, magic, and the monster formed an indissoluble bond.
