Dalaran in the daytime is completely different from that in the night. Without the magnificent purple enchantment and golden magic streetlights, the entire city looks white, solemn, and huge.
There seems to be a huge magic circle in the city, which completely isolates the cold of early winter, making the climate here warm and humid, and the roadsides are full of flowers.
To the southeast of the city is a market, just downstairs of the Hero Hotel. The crowds were bustling, and countless vendors shouted loudly along the streets of the market. The vendors included humans, dwarfs, and elves with sharp ears. They sold strange things, including dark green phantom mushrooms, and blood-red phantom mushrooms. There are venomous sacs of poisonous insects, shiny teeth of beasts in the depths of the endless sea, and some people are even buying strings of insects that look like cockroaches. What’s even more strange is that there are actually many people buying them! oh!
I stepped step by step on the solid bricks paving the streets, feeling that my eyes were not enough!
"Hey! Pretty lady! Would you like an apple from Nordrassil?" Behind the stall, a tall night elf with a charming smile asked me loudly, "Look, this apple has a beautiful red face just like you. !Take it!" He stretched out his hand and handed it over, but when I went to pick it up, the apple fell from our fingertips.
"Oh!" I subconsciously went to pick it up, but the apple suddenly disappeared in front of my eyes. "It..."
"Here." The next second, an apple cut into a rose was handed to me. This time, the night elf smiled and solemnly handed it to my hand.
"Oh...I have to pay."
"Five copper coins." The elf saluted me like a gentleman.
"It's worth the price."

Turning around, I saw that Selin had been overwhelmed by the flower-selling girls. After I rescued him from the "sea" of girls, there was also a high elf girl blowing a kiss to him, "Come and see me tomorrow. Handsome little guy!”
"Oh, come shopping with me tomorrow, handsome boy." I teased with a smile.
With a bang, Selin's already red face became even redder, "Don't be like this, Miss Messiah..."
*
The stalls in the market can't be seen from the beginning or the end. "How many stalls are there?!" I exclaimed.
"Well... there are hundreds of them, and if there are festivals, there will be more." Selin replied with a smile, and I suddenly understood why he was so popular with girls.
You see, he still didn't wear armor today, but changed into a dark red linen shirt. The bright color made him look handsome and chic.
I looked at the lace on my sleeves, and suddenly I felt that I was so right in choosing this red skirt. I didn't forget that in the early morning, when I opened the door for Selin, his eyes lit up. I liked him. Eye.
"Miss Messiah, would you like something to eat?" Suddenly, he said to me and stuffed a particularly fragrant rabbit skewer into my hand.
"Ouch! Thank you, Selin."
"Look over there, Messiah." Following his finger, in the corner of the market wall, I saw a white spire piercing the sky. I should have seen it long ago, but it was filled with a dazzling array of goods. Totally stole my attention.
From my angle, I could only see the upper half of the tower. A few huge blue windows were embedded in the tower, shining brightly in the sunlight.
"Oh! It's so high! I know where that is!" I shouted excitedly, "That's the Great Mage Tower of Dalaran!"
"That's right. However, civilians cannot get close there. The mage tower contains extremely precious magical knowledge. Only outstanding archmages and their apprentices can enter. If you approach there without permission, you will be arrested. Killed by the magic guard."
"Magic guards? Aren't they purple robes guarding this place? I heard people call the guards here purple men. Look, aren't they those knights wearing silver armor and purple cloaks?"
"No, the people guarding the minaret are not only purple robes, but also... well, stone figures that can move. They are nearly three meters tall and can smash through the wall with one punch."
"Oh!" I looked at the thick walls and couldn't help but curl my lips, "I won't go there anyway."
Selin smiled and said, "Come this way."

Through the arch covered with green baskets, you enter the southern district of Dalaran. There is a huge white stone square. In the center of the square are fountains and statues. Next to it is a deep lake with rippling blue waves. A cool breeze blows from the lake. It seems to have a green color when it blows through it. I like green.
The inn was in the corner of the square, but at that moment, a scream suddenly rang through the sky, "Oh my God! Where is Mr. Luke?!"
what happens? !
Selin and I looked at each other, and immediately ran over first. Next to a carriage, several gray-faced young people turned around in a hurry, and their black cloaks stirred up smoke like a sandstorm on the ground.
"Pod?" Selin shouted in surprise, "What happened?"
The young man who was called Pod turned around, and for a moment, a glimmer of hope appeared in his desperate eyes, "Oh! Master Selin, help us quickly! Mr. Luke is missing!"
Selin was stunned for a moment and looked around, "Mr. Luke...what's wrong? Maybe he just went for a walk..."
"No, no, Mr. Selling!" Another young man interrupted hastily, "We just got here and were about to unload the truck. Suddenly, he turned into a lamb! It bleated and spun on the ground. That kind of thing.”
It was obvious that Selin was still in a daze, "Wha, what?!"
"It's magic, Mr. Selling! Mr. Luke was turned into a lamb by a magician with evil intentions!" Pod shouted anxiously, "We originally wanted to unload the car first and then take him to the magician for help. But, he, he is missing!"
"Don't worry, Pod, we'll go look for it separately..."
"Selin!" Before he could finish speaking, I suddenly shook his sleeve. Following the direction of my finger, he must have also seen that at the other end of the inn, dozens of bleating sheep had been loaded onto carts and sent to various corners of the city.
"What will happen to them?" I asked stuttering.
"Perhaps, he will be eaten..." Selin murmured in reply.
"Oh, my God..." Pod seemed to have noticed it, and for a moment, his face was distorted, "We have to save him!"
*
"How can we confirm that it is Mr. Luke?" I grabbed Selin and asked as we dispersed. "All sheep are like that. They have curly white hair. They like to bleat and use their hands. The person with the head..."
"Hit him on the head." Selin said hurriedly, "Hit him hard! This kind of blinding spell will be destroyed by external blows!"
*
I picked up a wooden stick. After thinking about it, I threw the stick away and replaced it with a brick that fit my hand.
I was chasing a cart in the crowded crowd, "Please stop! Stop!" But the crowd was so loud that the person pushing the cart couldn't hear it at all, and his cart almost flew away. Woke up!
He turned left and right, and finally stopped in front of a three-story building. At that moment, I finally rushed to the car out of breath. In the fence of the car were two sheep spinning endlessly. All have curved horns and dark eyes.
"Mr. Luke?" Of course they wouldn't answer.
"Hey! What do you want to do? Girl!" Just when I opened the fence, the man pushing the cart screamed. I raised my hand and hit each sheep hard on the head. In addition to letting them Apart from screaming twice and almost collapsing, there were no other changes.
Not Luke.
"Damn it! Are you crazy?" The man pushing the cart roared ferociously, trotting over and trying to grab my arm.
I twisted around and ran away, "Sorry! I'm just saving people!"
"Explain it to me! Why do you want to beat my sheep to save people?!"
The people passing by were noisy and didn't pay much attention to our quarrel. I took two steps back and immediately got into the crowd. Only the man pushing the cart was left yelling at the back, "You're crazy! I hope your bread has nails in it tonight!"
*
My second target was a girl, a smaller race than Dean, less than my thigh height. If I'm not wrong, she must be a dwarf!
She happily walked down the street with the lamb in her arms. Then, she turned a corner at the noisy street and entered an alley covered with ivy. The alley was quiet and there were no pedestrians. When I approached quietly, At that time, I also heard her humming happily.
I followed her in two steps at a time, "Hey!" I shouted at her.
The child seemed startled by my sudden appearance. He immediately stopped jumping and looked up at me defensively, "Miss?"
"Can I see your sheep?"
Those words made the child hug the lamb in her hand vigilantly. She took two steps back and suddenly yelled sadly, "Dad! Someone is trying to steal my sheep!"
Immediately there was a sound of opening the door in the alley, "Kindy?! Don't be afraid, I'll come right away!" Before he could finish speaking, a dwarf wearing a pointed wizard hat jumped out of the door, and he grabbed the child. He pulled me behind his body and raised his eyebrows at me, "What do you want to do? Madam?" As he said that, his hand already lit up with a purple light like needle pricks.
magic? !
"Listen, listen to me!" I jumped back in shock and shouted, "My friend has been turned into a sheep! I have to take him back!"
The dwarf mage looked back suspiciously, "This one is not human at all! This is a real sheep!" His face darkened, he took a step closer to me and warned, "Get out of here, now!"
"Okay! I'll leave right away!" I immediately raised my hand to make a stop gesture to him, but this action made the bricks in my hand appear.
For a moment, I saw a fierce flash in the dwarf mage's eyes, but my own mind went blank.
It seems that I can't explain...
I only saw a flash of purple light, and the next second, I felt smaller, almost as tall as the dwarf.
My body began to spin uncontrollably, and the scenery in front of me made me dizzy.
what happened? ! I yelled, but I only heard a high-pitched sound coming from my throat, "Hey~~"
oh? !
boom
At that moment, something hard and heavy hit my head from a high place. The blow made me almost faint. When I got up again, I found that I had changed back to my human form. In front of me, my brick was lying.
I seemed to have saved myself.
Raising my head, in my field of vision that was still filled with stars, I saw the dwarf mage and his daughter quickly enter the door, and then slammed the door shut.
*
I caught up with eleven sheep in this neighborhood, but none of them were the enchanted Mr. Luke.
At this moment, it was the beginning of the lanterns. Under the golden magic light, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians. I looked around. I should be in the northwest of the city now. I was exhausted and couldn't walk a step further.
Poor Luke...could he have been killed?
I touched the edge of the fountain and sat down, feeling sad.
"Miss Messiah!" Just then, I heard someone calling my name. Turning around, I saw Selin's tall figure limping towards me from the dim light.
He looked really embarrassed. Look, there were white hairs hanging on his beautiful silver hair. His clothes were torn apart, and his boots were chewed to bits, exposing one of his toes. The most egregious thing was that there was a bruise at the corner of his eye.
"Holy Light!" I immediately ran towards him and looked up at him, "What happened? How could you do this?!"
Selin smiled bitterly, "I chased a car of sheep into the slaughterhouse. It happened that the butcher, his dog, and his big white goose were not easy to mess with."
We sighed together.
He looked at me carefully again, his eyes full of concern, "What's wrong with you? There seems to be something on your forehead..."
"Uh... I accidentally bumped into a street light." I looked to his left, and suddenly, I remembered the most important words, "Have you found him?"
Selin's eyes dimmed, "No."
"Oh, my God..." I sat back by the fountain and covered my face with my hands, "...Poor Mr. Luke, he must have been grilled and sprinkled with pepper...and has been served. When it was served on the table, it was cut into small pieces, and was praised for its rich aroma... People can bake it with a rich aroma, right?"
"...We have to prevent this from happening, Messiah." Before he finished speaking, another burst of rapid footsteps came from the distance, accompanied by crying.
I immediately looked over, and the figure gradually came closer. It was Pod whose face was full of tears. When he saw us, he stopped. Then, we looked at each other and shook our heads.
Suddenly, Pod held his head and cried out, "Oh my God, what should I do? He must have been minced into pieces and stuffed into sausages... He must have been blown dry by the hot wind, and the aroma of being fried was extremely burnt. ...People can also be fried to a very fragrant aroma, right?"
"We... need to find him before this happens."
"Where to find it?" Pod asked sobbing, with snot floating in the wind under his nose. This time, before Selin could answer, something on Pod's waist suddenly flashed.
Wiping his face with his sleeve, he took out a square object from his pocket, filled with purple light. He glanced quickly, his mouth suddenly opened wide, and then he broke into tears and smiled, "Holy light bless! They have found Mr. Luke!" At that moment, he almost jumped up with joy, "Let's go back quickly. ! I know you can rent a fast horse over there!"
*
At the inn, I met Mr. Luke for the first time. He was tall and fat. He jumped angrily towards an old dwarf man in front of him and yelled, "Accident?! This damn spell kept us awake all day." Order the goods! You have to pay us the lost time! I will also sue you! You release magic randomly and endanger the safety of civilians!"
The dwarf's body leaned back, almost blown into the air by his anger, "Sorry! Sir! I'm really sorry! I will definitely punish that brat! I will definitely let him write you a letter of apology! I will definitely Let him compensate for your losses! But, uh, can you..." The old man poked his hand and smiled flatteringly, "After all, he is still a child."
It seemed that although Mr. Luke was angry, he was also a very good person. He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I won't accuse him and let him do other things! Ask him to come over and help." I'm unloading! I'm loading the truck!"
"Okay, okay, I will definitely catch him. When the time comes, you can scold him as you like and vent your anger." The old man closed the pointed wizard hat to his chest, saluted Mr. Luke, and then , the staggering one left quickly.
Luke looked at us and waved his hand tiredly, "We will work early tomorrow morning. Now, let's all go and rest!"
*
"So, what's going on?" I quietly grabbed a young man from the team and asked.
The young man secretly looked around at the dark surroundings and whispered to us everything he knew.
The old dwarf man just now is a magician. He has a student named Minigob Magic Explosion. It was his prank to turn Mr. Luke into a lamb in the morning. Fortunately, he was just playing a prank and didn't mean to harm anyone. Seeing Luke's sheep approaching the nearby sheep, he immediately took Luke away and threw Luke in the trees by the lake. After Luke was turned into a lamb, he couldn't control his body, so he wandered around in the bushes, and finally stepped on a sharp thorn...
Oh... The final ending made Celin and I wrinkle our faces and stand on tiptoes on the ground.
*
When we returned to the hotel, it was already midnight, and Selin sent me into the room.
"Let's go out together tomorrow, okay?" When he said goodbye to me, I grabbed his sleeve.
I don't know if my gaze was too intense, but his face turned slightly red again, "Uh... don't you need to rest more?"
"I don't want to rest too much."
That sentence made his green eyes flash for a moment, and then he smiled, "I'll call you."
I like his smile.
"Well, see you later." I jumped in the door and couldn't help but smile.
