Serious person, who is learning magic in Marvel?

23. What a Charcoal Roasted Scarab and a Beauty Have in Common

Sesbylai indeed did not offend him.

While walking on the road outside the city, Jax smiled when he thought of these words.

What the girl said was not true. He couldn't help but begin to wonder if he was under the control of some kind of magic. How could he trust others so easily? Even if the person was a child who was begging him, he should be honest about everything.

Just be vigilant.

Businessmen riding horses can be seen on the road. The road environment in Shurima is not very safe - to be precise, it is extremely dangerous.

This land has not seen a decent monarch since the fall of the ancient Shurima Empire. If people want to travel between the two cities, they often need a large group of guards and reliable guides.

Of course, unless you don't need safety, you can also hit the road on two legs.

But the consequence of doing this is that you are likely to be robbed and dumped by sand thieves on the road. You may be eaten by dangerous creatures that come out of nowhere under the desert, or you may get lost or suffer a sandstorm... There are many ways to die.

, you can choose one.

But these things have nothing to do with Jax. He has been wandering in Valoran for too long, especially Shurima. He is as familiar with this place as the 108 styles of his lampposts.

He spent half a day on the road and arrived at the endless plains of Farajese. It was a wilderness of hundreds of square kilometers that had devoured countless lives over the past few hundred years. A few people tried to cross this plain instead of going around it.

But they never came back - even if the endless heat and lack of water did not kill them, the dangerous beasts and savage bandits that appeared in the night would not let them go.

Jax had just arrived in Farajese when he felt a palpitating surge of magic power. He was very familiar with magic. Icathia founded the country with magic, and the status of magicians was very high.

However, the magic wave he felt from the sky above the wasteland was nothing but pure destruction.

What kind of magic is this?

Jax clenched the lamppost in his hand. If he wanted to reach the Garden City as quickly as possible, he had to cross the Endless Plains. The threat of the Void was imminent, and he didn't know who would be crazy enough to transport their eggs.

But as long as anything has something to do with emptiness, it will definitely not be a good thing.

With no other choice, he headed towards the plains.

The further inside he walked, the more he could feel the breathtaking magical pressure. The air became viscous, and Jax's steps began to get deeper and deeper, which was unacceptable for a warrior.

.Anyone who has received training knows that you can only use the weapon in your hand to hit others when you stand firm.

But he couldn't steady his body, and Jax inserted the lamp post in his hand into the yellow sand. He took a deep breath, sat down cross-legged, and a thin yellow shield began to appear on the surface of his body. Wait.

Only after he fully adapted to the strange environment here due to the rioting magic did he start to continue walking.

But the strange thing is that except for the pressure of the magic power, there is nothing noteworthy on the yellow sand. It is as desolate and deserted as ever. Occasionally, a few lizards crawled across, and they quickly disappeared in the desert.

What is going on here?

With this question in mind, he gradually crossed the endless plains.

----------------------------------------

What was placed on the plate in front of the mage were two roasted and blackened beetles.

They don't look cute. Even if they are cute in life, they will become ugly after being burned by the flames for fifteen minutes. What's more, their thick limbs and elytra on their backs have nothing to do with cuteness.

Forget about the ferocious mouthparts.

The mage looked up at the tavern waiter who served him the food, and asked: "Is this your special dish?"

The waiter replied proudly: "Are you a traveler? This is a special delicacy of the Garden City! You only need to take a bite to know the charcoal-grilled scarab beetle!"

He Shenyan lowered his head and glanced at the beetle that was almost half the size of his hand, and said: "Ah, I don't reject these... special foods. But at least you have to tell me how to eat them.

"

"Simple!"

The clerk raised his hand and gestured to him: "You just need to pick up its wings, yes, just hold them like this. Then touch their backs with your index fingers. Be careful, they may be very hot. If you touch the wings,

Is there a soft gap?"

"Then what?"

"Break it apart!"

He Shenyan did as he was told.

There is a soft gap in the beetle's carapace. I don't know if they are born like this or if the kitchen has undergone special processing. In short, after the carapace is opened, the mage sees golden yellow tender meat, exuding a strange aroma.

The waiter smiled and brought him a small plate of dipping sauce and said, "If you are not afraid of spicy food, you can eat it with this."

He Shenyan put his fingers on the table like a spire. He looked at the beetle, hesitated for a while, then picked up the fork placed aside and took a bite.

How to describe this taste?

It's like a cow and a fish got drunk one night, and then they had such a child. This child is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the flesh inherits the best parts of its fictitious parents. Mage

He forked out another piece of meat, looked at the tender golden meat carefully, and then swallowed it in one bite.

Sometimes, the outside has nothing to do with the inside.

This sentence applies not only to the beetle, but also to the woman who just opened the door and walked in.

She was wearing a silk robe. Many people looked away when they first saw this dress. They did not dare to look at her anymore. In Shurima, being able to wear silk clothes often meant many things.

And she also enjoyed this feeling, raised her head proudly, and walked towards the bar.

She is beautiful, and this is not an exaggeration. She has wheat-colored skin, wears a veil, and only reveals a pair of beautiful eyes. She wears a gold ring on her ankle, which is decorated with exaggerated lines.

From any angle, she should be a beauty. And the thin silk robe also enhances her charm to a certain extent. The looming appearance will only make people want to see the hidden things even more, not to mention

Her beautiful curves cannot be hidden.

Unfortunately......

The mage stood up. He had already finished eating the first beetle. He didn't forget to pick up the second beetle and stuff it into his pocket. He had paid for it, so he couldn't take it away.

He walked straight towards the woman, and she obviously noticed this handsome oriental face. Her eyes narrowed into a crescent shape, and she stretched out her hand to say hello to the mage, but was slapped in the face by He Shenyan in the next second.

"Snapped!"

The tavern fell into silence.
