Capítulo 34: Leaving the Magical Island
"What? You mean we made a raft to leave here?" Joanna frowned, and questioned Duwei "So this is your idea? You plan to sail on a sea with a small raft, and take us back to the mainland? You must be crazy!"
Duwei smiled, and slowly spoke his plan:
"I believe we have hope. You and Vivian, both are powerful magicians, you both can use any tools or mounts to fly far away! Am I right? If you still have your power, you would have used your power to leave this damn island already, right?"
"Of course!" Joanna said "If I still can fly, I would have gone already."
"The question is" Duwei said, "You have lost your magic power. But according to my guess, the reason is not because of you, it's the island itself! I suspected that there must be something in here that suppresses the use of magic, such as some barrier, or magic forbidden area, these kinds of things...most likely has something to do with the scary big monster you saw. So...I think, the barrier that suppresses magic...How big is its reach? Does it cover the whole island, or including some part of the sea? At least I'm sure is that the field cannot be too big.
Joanna finally understood and there was no need for Duwei to carry on explaining, she continued "So, you did not plan to use the small raft to take us back to the mainland. You wanted to use the raft to sail away from the barrier, if Vivian and i can then restore our magic powers, then we don't need the raft and can fly back to the mainland. Right?"
"Exactly." Duwei nodded.
"What if it doesn't work?" Joanna frowned "What if you were wrong? I mean, even though Vivian and i both got our magic spells, but if we cannot restore our magic power even though we leave the island? Or if it takes a few days, or even months until we can get it back? Then what? Even if we can sail away from the island, we cannot fly. Just by the small raft, we are sure to be dead in the sea."
"Well, it's just a different method of death." Duwei raised his eyebrow "I can clearly tell you that...If we don't leave this island, by 2-3 days at most, we will starve to death. Although there are a lot of trees in the island, but there are only a few plants whose roots we can eat. I've found that when i was looking for food, i can't guarantee if i can find any more food tomorrow."
"We can fish!"
"Haha!" Duwei laughed "What fish? You can try! God...Those big waves produced by that monster we saw yesterday, also the earthquake...With these huge movements, even if there were any fishes in the sea, they must have been scared and left.
Even though the idea sounds a bit risky, after a careful thought, Joanna thinks that what Duwei said makes sense.
You either stay here and starve to death, or you go out with the risk.
Next is to find out how to make a raft.
The hardest thing is...There's no tool!
Even if you want to chop woods from trees...you've got to have an axe right?
Even if you don't have an axe, at least a knife would help!
But don't even talk about the knife, they don't even have a dagger!
Even though Joann is also a warrior, unfortunately, the only weapon she uses is a long flute!
Without tools, chopping woods with bare hands? Unfortunately, Duwei can't do that.
Even though Joann is a swordsman, she does not have the power to chop a big tree with her bare hand.
Duwei started to turn his focus onto Joanna's armor. Armor is made of metal, if you can get a piece of iron, sharpen it, reluctantly it can be used as a knife.
Unfortunately, Duwei was disappointed.
It is not because Joanna was stingy about her magical armor, but because her armor was full of hollow patterns, they couldn't even find a piece of iron that is the size of a palm!
After consider again, Duwei still got another idea!
Dragon scale!
Not matter how much she loves her pet, Vivian had to agree with Duwei to peel a few pieces of the dragon scales.
The scales of dragons are extremely strong and hard, in the past legendary heroes even used dragon scales to make solid shields.
Vivian used her last bit of her magic to appease her fire dragon, Duwei bravely peeled off two pieces of dragon scales.
They spent another day to find a big piece of rock by the sea side and used the rock to sharpen those palm size dragon scales into sharp knives.
Those two girls and the boy had spent two day to work.
Duwei and Joanna chopped a few big trees, Vivian was responsible for binding those vines together.
Duwei even used those tree trunks to make a few paddles. He then ran and brought back some huge gourds looking things. Those things not only be used to hold some fresh water, but can also be combined with the raft to increase its buoyancy.
Lastly, Joanna donated her white cape, and turned it into a sail.
When everything was nearly finished, Vivian suddenly remembered a very important question!
"My...my...what about my dragon?" Poor little Vivian suddenly remembered a crucial question!
A raft cannot take a dragon!
Actually, Duwei and Joanna had already thought about this question, it's just that they found it very hard to explain it to Vivian.
It's Vivian's pet, originally she could have used her magic power to create a magical seal and summon it when needed.
Unfortunately, without her magical powers, she cannot seal the dragon and bring it with her.
Duwei and Joanna looked at each other, struggled to answer Vivian's question.
Vivian suddenly understood, the silly girl shed a tear "No! No! I...I...I will not leave...leave my dragon!! My Burning Sun!!"
She cried and ran to the dragon, thrown herself to the sleeping dragon, tightly holding it.
Duwei sighed, looking at this pure little girl, Duwei felt a bit guilty.
But what can they do otherwise?
They cannot take a big dragon like this!
Not to mention, in the bottom of Duwei's heart...he is not like this world's people, treating a dragon like a strong, superior creature.
In Duwei's mind: talented people are the most important. No matter if it's a dragon, or a snake...they are just "animals" to him.
Human life is the most important. Sacrificing a human life for an "animal", it is something that Duwei will never understand.
Furthermore...Hum, if it is not because it's Vivian's pet, he would have slaughtered that big "animal" and ate its meat.
Of course if it happens, Vivian will cry and die of sadness on the spot.
In spite of Vivian not wanting to leave her darling dragon, Duwei and Joanna had to force their way.
What surprised Duwei is, that ferocious woman had rarely shown a tender side of her to her sister.
"No need to be surprised." Joanna had already known what Duwei was thinking by looking into his eyes "I've also lost my dragon, I can understand this poor girl's feeling."
Duwei could see from Joann's eyes that show a little bit sadness.
Two girls sat on the raft, Duwei was pushing the raft at the back to the sea, then he jumped onto it. Joanna controlled the sail, Duwei picked up the paddles and started to row.
Only the poor little Vivian, was forced to the raft, silently tearing looking at the island on her back...as well as her pet dragon.
The wave is lowest, this is very lucky.
But Duwei and Joanna were nervous.
They prayed...
They prayed for the following journey, to not meet that monster! That monster could lurk inside the sea and attack a dragon...which means if the monster wants them; it can flip this little raft with no difficulty.
Duwei only hoped that they can leave the island quietly to certain distant, and then hope that these magicians can restore their magic and fly.
"The Almighty God, bless us..." Joanna muttered.
For a weak young boy like Duwei, he struggled to row the raft continuously, he is determined, to leave this island, although his arms are tired, he persisted.
Visually, it's been about 200 meter from the seaside.
"How do you feel?" Duwei asked Joanna loudly.
"No, still nothing." Joanna tried to summon a wind magical spell to strengthen the sail. Unfortunately, it still did not work.
"Carry on." Duwei gritted his teeth and said.
Seem like the God in this world does not protect a heretic like Duwei.
As the little raft sailed to about a hundred meters further...
Suddenly, a big wave set off from the sea! In an instant, that scary roar appeared again.
Soon after, you can see from the eyes of the three scared people, a humongous wave that was about 4-5 meters high suddenly setting off from the peaceful sea.
Thud! With the waves hitting in, the vines from the raft fractured, the raft turned into pieces, the three people fell into the sea at the same time...
Duwei felt that the moment his body fell into the seawater, it feels like there was a force from the sea bounding him!
He could not move his body, the moment he opened his mouth, the sea water gushed into his mouth. Duwei thought he was dead, his sight turned dark, inside the water, a swirl wrapped around him, rapidly pushing him down...
Duwei felt that he sank...and sank...
Capítulo 35: Open Sesame
When Duwei woke up, he felt that his head was lying on something soft, his body was sore, he felt like some power tore his body; every muscle and every joint was in pain.
Duwei struggled to open his eyes.
What relieved him was that the female companions were still next to him.
Duwei's head was lying on Joanna's lap, and Vivian was lying in Duwei's arms, her head was pushing against his chin.
When Duwei woke up, his two female companions confusedly opened their eyes at the same time.
"Where are we...were we swallowed by the monster?" Joanna rubbed her head slightly, then she immediately noticed that Duwei was lying on her lap, suddenly screamed "What are you doing! Scram!"
Then, Joanna turned over, Duwei immediately rolled down.
Duwei spent a lot of effort to stand up, rubbing his thighs muscles like they had been torn...That feeling was very uncomfortable, the same as muscles strain.
"Why are you so tense? I didn't do it intentionally." Duwei looked at Joanna, That woman moved her body and sat up, ignoring Duwei and pulled up Vivian.
Poor little Vivian was still looking a bit confused.
All three of them were wet, their hair stuck together, Duwei was a little better, but the two girls were embarrassed.
Joanna was lucky; she still had that hollow patterned magic armor on her body. But poor little Vivian was quite unlucky. The magic gown that she was wearing got tattered into pieces during the few days they stayed on the island, later she just gave Duwei the rest of the gown and tore it into cloth pieces to be used for the raft. Right now, little Vivian was only wearing a tight underclothing.
Normally, this underclothing is fine, but because she was soaked by sea water, it became a little inappropriate. Obviously this underclothing is a little too thin...And what makes it even worse is, the women in this world had something missing compared to the women from the previous world Duwei used to live in, a very important thing.
Bra.
After soaked by sea water, the thin piece of underclothing stuck on Vivian's body, clearly outlined her full body figure...Especially the upper body of the female magician...
Duwei took a glance, and couldn't help but get distracted.
Obviously, although the manner of this female magician seems a little too pure, and a little too childish...but her body figure was already quite matured. Slightly sizeable breasts, the bud shaped of her breasts had been shown clearly under the cloth, and what even worse is, the color of Vivian's top is in light colour...If Duwei stared at it a little longer, he was worried that he could even faintly see those pointed nipples.
Even though they are in danger, Duwei couldn't help but lost in deep thought, he looked at Vivian's innocent face, and sighed "What a pity!"
"What are you thinking about!" Joanna cautiously noticed where Duwei was looking at, she snorted heavily, grabbed her sister. After all, she is older than Vivian,,then ferociously stared at Duwei and said "Prurience little nobleman! Don't you dare to look again; I will dig out your eyeballs!"
Duwei did not argue with her, turned around, and carefully scanned the surroundings.
Clearly they are in a cave.
Just about two steps from where they woke up there's sea water...From this point, Duwei believes that they could be in a cave undersea. Due to its special topography, there's no sea water inside the cave.
In the walls of the cave, some light was faintly flashing, it made Duwei and the group clearly see the surroundings in the cave.
Duwei stretched his arm and touched the wall, he found a rough granule, and inside the granule, something that looks like tiny sands are inside that granule and flashing naturally.
"Night Pearl? No, it's so small, should be night sands instead." Duwei took his arm back.
Common sense gained from Duwei's previous life tells him that, objects that flash on their own, are in fact harmful radiation. It does no good to human beings.
"What did you touch?" Joanna asked from the back.
"I'm observing the area." Duwei replied "We should be glad that we are still alive. We were attacked by that monster...But I don't understand why we ended up in here."
"i… i….i think i might know a little bit." Vivian was shy to speak, the silly little girl was so shy her face turned red, she was afraid to look at Duwei...Perhaps, even though she is innocent, but as a teenage girl, she can feel that Duwei stared at her breasts before.
Duwei looked at Vivian, Joanna deliberately coughs loudly, she didn't wait for Duwei to speak and asked "What do you know?"
"Swirl, it's the swirl." Vivian said "Just…just now, i….i can feel that w…we were pulled here by a swirl from the bottom of the sea."
Duwei frowned "Is that a coincidence? We were pulled by a swirl to here, not anywhere else, but were taken to a cave like this, where we do not drown to death?" His expression was complicated "I don't believe it's a coincidence..."
This cave is not big nor small, it's shape is like an upside down bowl, there is no entrance, it's completely sealed. I'm afraid the only entrance is the sea water corridor on the side.
"I think, I think if we want to go out, I'm afraid we have to jump into that corridor, swim along the sea water in order to escape." Duwei concluded.
"We should have stayed on that island!" Joanna observed the surroundings and came out the same conclusion as Duwei. Looking Annoyed she said "At least there was still fresh water to drink; plant roots to eat. What about now? There's only stones!"
"Not really, at least we have oxygen, we are not suffocating, it means there must be another entrance, it's just we still haven't found it yet." Duwei shake.
"Oxygen? What is oxygen?" Joanna frowned.
Duwei was speechless. After all, it's too difficult to explain the idea of oxygen to someone who's from the magical world. Duwei stalled and immediately changed the topic "We need to find a way...Can you use your magic power?"
The two female magician shook their heads, it ended Duwei's last idea.
"Now what?"
Joanna asked.
As if it was by instinct, for the last few days, these two women let the youngest in the group to be the leader. Even Joanna, automatically started to rely on this young guy. After all, Duwei is the calmest person between the three. From working out the escape plan, to searching for food and fresh water, all the important decisions were made by him, he had unintentionally taken care of these two women.
"What to do?"
Duwei really had no idea.
He is not a supernatural being! Being trapped in a place where no one can see nor hear, what can he do?
Duwei felt that he couldn't even force a smile. He just wanted to shout out loud to release his emotion, after all he is also feeling cramped.
However, those two women looked at him, especially those big eyes of Vivian, he sees complete trust from her...Duwei sighed.
He forced a smile, Duwei tried his best to comfort the two women "No worries...Since the God didn't let us die, took us to a place like this, then we are not destined to die in here. There must be a solution!"
Duwei secretly sighed, walked to the side of the cave, lightly touched the wall, laughed "Let's take some rest, restoring our energy. Then..." Duwei paused "...Then, there's must be a solution...Hey, anyone wants to hear a story?"
Joanna twisted her mouth, she is not as innocent as Vivian, She knows that even Duwei does not have a solution in a situation like this, but for the sake of the trembling Vivian, Joanna sighed and didn't say anything.
If we die here....then, be it! The tenacity in the heart has been suppressed for too long, maybe it's time to ease...
Joanna didn't say anything, thinking about her thought; Vivian had already quietly walked a few steps away from her and interestedly asked Duwei "Wh….what story?"
"A tale….." Duwei smiled and said "I...heard a story about a robber and treasure. They said, there's a young guy called Alibaba..."
Duwei slowly told the story about the famous "Forty Robbers" from his previous life once and lastly pointed at the wall in the cave and said "See, maybe God will make a miracle! Maybe if you touch the top and shouted "Open sesame" a door will appear and let us go out!"
Vivian looked down and didn't say anything, she looked up, the female magician had tears filled up her eyes and whispered " Duwei, you are, comforting, me, right?"
Duwei didn't reply, in this situation, he could say nothing and lightly touched Vivian's hair.
Vivian suddenly smiled, she tried very hard to smile, and then muttered "Duwei said there's a solution, then it must be a solution! w…we can, try them one by one! There must be a solution! Let's, let's start with the "open sesame"!"
The silly little girl put an adorable smile on her face, although there are tears in her eyes. Then she rose her hand, lightly knocked on the wall and sweetly, crisply said,
Op…open sesame...
Duwei suddenly felt sad...Does an adorable girl like her has to be die in here?
But...maybe the God is playing a trick on him!
The moment before Duwei's tear dropped from his eye...
The moment after Vivian had finished saying "Open Sesame"...
In front of them, the cave suddenly shook a little... Yes, the solid wall in the cave, suddenly turned into water and rippled.
A skinny hand suddenly stretched out from the wall in the cave, appeared in front of Duwei and the group! Just before the eyeballs of the three about to fall, an old and weak voice came out from the cave wall said
"Finally...there are guests…..please come in..."
