"But it's a pity that this beautiful and majestic insect has become extinct on the island."
The old man's words suddenly sounded a little lonely.
Hearing this, Alka hurriedly asked: "Extinct? Why?"
Hearing Alka's question, the old man was a little indignant.
But his voice was a little helpless and said: "When you entered the city, did you see the avenue full of flowers?
Many of those flowers were transplanted from other islands, and there are several very beautiful flowers, but their pollen is fatal to the Golden Horn Hammer."
"This caused the ecological environment on the island to be unbalanced, but those masters don't care about this."
"Alas." At this point, he couldn't help but sigh.
Alka could only nod in understanding.
But he asked: "When did this insect become extinct?"
"Probably more than 20 years ago."
Hearing this, Alka had a bad premonition in his heart.
According to the treasure information, the golden horn hammer may be needed to unlock the No. 5 treasure house.
Now it is not known whether it is symbolic or whether a living golden horn hammer is really needed, and it is not known whether the specimen is still feasible.
But in this case, Alka had to make preparations in many aspects.
After frowning and thinking for a while, he asked.
"So besides this island, are there other islands with golden horn hammers?"
Seeing that Alka seemed to be really interested in insects, the old man's eyes lit up a little.
Grabbing Alka's wrist directly, he walked to the counter inside.
"Come on, I have collected an atlas before, and it says that there is an island with this kind of insect."
As he said, he pulled Alka inside.
After arriving at the counter, he searched below, put on gloves and took out a well-preserved insect atlas from a wooden box.
He flipped through it carefully.
Alka saw that the insect illustrations on each page were so lifelike that they looked like photos.
You can see how precious it is.
After turning to the middle, the old man turned the book over and pointed at one of them.
"This is it."
Looking at the pictures and text introductions on it, Alka wanted to touch it, but he pulled his hand back halfway.
Looking at this action, the old man nodded with more satisfaction.
He looked at Alka with more favor.
Then he began to explain: "Golden Horned Hammer is an insect that is often collected by insect lovers because of its beautiful appearance."
"However, most enthusiasts are willing to protect them. It is recorded that this insect exists on the island of Antfos-Sacred Armor, which is also a holy place for various insect lovers."
"If only I were younger, the journey on the sea is not suitable for an old guy like me now."
After hearing the information he wanted, Alka quickly remembered it in his mind.
After chatting with the old man for a while again, he said goodbye and left.
Seeing that it was not yet dusk outside, he continued to stroll around like a tourist.
While strolling around, he saw a group of people who seemed to be watching something. Curious Alka also looked over.
I saw a man dressed like a clown, slightly exaggerated, performing acrobatics and magic for everyone.
Magic!
Seeing this situation, Alka couldn't help but walk over to watch.
After watching the show, the clown bowed.
Everyone took out some coins and threw them into the box in front of the clown.
Looking at the coins piled up in the box.
Arka's eyes lit up slightly.
Someone even threw a silver snake in.
And from his point of view, the clown's magic was just so-so, and he could see through all the magic tricks.
Looking at the money, he couldn't help but think.
Due to an accident, he didn't have much money with him.
If he didn't have money, it would be very difficult for him to disguise himself.
Maybe he could perform like this.
Speaking of which, since he learned magic, he has never really performed it formally for outsiders.
Looking at the clown who was leaving and preparing to perform in another place, Arka also came to a different restaurant for dinner.
After dinner.
Taking advantage of the afterglow of sunset, he walked towards the villa on the neat and beautiful stone road.
Just saw Mrs. Anda chatting with a group of women and greeted her.
After returning to the villa.
After a simple tidying up, he came to his room.
Took the magic mirror out of the closet again and placed it next to the bedside table.
Took the oil lamp while there was still some residual light outside.
At this time, Alka felt that the pocket watch he stuffed in his arms was vibrating slightly.
When he opened it, he saw that it was the blue crystal sheet he inlaid on the cover of the watch that was vibrating.
Immediately squatted down, groped upward from the bottom of the bed, and took out the robot spider.
"Arka, Arka..."
"I'm here."
"We are ready. We plan to go to the place you mentioned at 3:00 a.m. tomorrow night. Do you want to come with us?"
Arka pushed open his watch and looked at it.
After calculating tomorrow's schedule, he replied, "No problem. I'll meet you tomorrow night."
"Okay, that's it. Remember to be safe."
"Yes."
Then he stuffed the spider back under the bed.
He sat down next to the bedside table, looking at the magic mirror on the cabinet, waiting for the night to come.
While waiting, Arka's hands flew up and down to practice magic, and also practiced the flexibility of his hands.
The bright full moon was completely hanging in the sky.
At this time, the surroundings were already silent.
Arka looked at the magic mirror through the open curtains, and there was no movement at all.
He frowned slightly.
After thinking about it, he put it back into the closet.
Then he turned off the oil lamp and went to bed.
After a while, Alka's even breathing sounded.
Alka in the dark.
He heard a hazy sound from afar.
The extremely vague sound, like a thread, surrounded Alka's ears.
"Help...Help me, help..."
Hearing this subtle cry for help in the dark, Alka wanted to open his eyes, move his hands, and twist his body.
But there is no doubt that he couldn't do it.
The body in the dark seemed to be no longer controlled by his brain, and his consciousness and touch could still feel his body.
But he seemed to have lost control.
I could only listen to the cry for help but could not make any response, as if I was still in a deep sleep.
Helpless.
After roughly understanding the cry for help.
Alka had to keep echoing in his mind.
"Who are you? Are you trapped in the magic mirror? How can I save you?"
The three questions kept repeating in his mind.
It seemed that the information in Alka's mind was really received.
The hazy cry for help began to change.
"Magic... touch... touch... help..."
Various words repeated in combination surrounded his ears.
Alka was able to understand a little bit of what he wanted to express.
It seemed that in order to free it from the magic mirror, he needed to have magic power to become a toucher.
That should be the meaning.
"No problem. If it's possible, I will save you. But can you let me out first? I want to have a good sleep."
This time, he accepted the message that Alka wanted to express, and it was easier.
"Okay... promise..."
"Okay, I promise you that if it's possible, I will find a way to release you from the magic mirror after I become the toucher."
Alka said sincerely.
Finally, he seemed to have regained control of his body and was no longer buried in the darkness. He immediately opened his eyes.
Looking at the room where he rested in the moonlight.
Immediately got up and lit the oil lamp at the head of the bed.
Opened the cabinet.
Looking at the magic mirror placed on it.
At this time, the pattern on the back of the magic mirror was emitting a faint light, the same as the moonlight outside.
