The water magician in the flame world

Beep, crackle.

The sound of fire burning wood.

Lin Dong felt like he was in an oven, his whole body was hot and being roasted.

I tried very hard to open my eyes, but my headache was splitting and I couldn't wake up.

Until a choking smoke got into the nose.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

Lin Dong finally woke up with a violent cough.

What caught my eye was the raging fire and billowing smoke.

This... what's the situation?

Didn't you just attend the class reunion on bar ?

How come I slipped on the toilet and woke up like this?

Is the bar on fire?

Lin Dong faintly knew that this was not the case, because through the fire and thick smoke, he could vaguely see that he was in a wooden structure, and he could not see the shadow of the reinforced concrete structure at all.

The lungs are burning with pain.

For a while, Lin Dong didn't think of the possibility of crossing, but wondered if he had been kidnapped.

Until there was another sharp pain in the brain, a large number of memories belonging to the original owner of this body emerged.

It was only then that Lin Dong understood that he had crossed over!

This is a world dominated by fire magicians, and flames have extraordinary sacred significance in this world, and it can even be said to be morbid.

Almost every day there are explosions caused by fire magicians doing experiments.

The result is that there are so many fires in this world!

The original owner of the body he was in was named "Andrew", a magic apprentice at the lowest level.

Although he has a higher status than the commoners in name, he is actually just doing errands for the old magician in the town.

The laboratory where Andrew works is right next door to the house.

Originally, after a busy day today, I went home and wanted to sleep, but was swept away by a fire.

Needless to say, the source of this fire must be the magic laboratory next door!

"I... I crossed over !"

Lin Dong was about to curse.

It's not unacceptable to transcend this kind of thing!

But isn't the treatment of this time-travel too bad?

I don't ask for a system to come with the identity of a prince. It doesn't matter if you start from scratch as an ordinary magic apprentice, but at least don't let me be in a desperate situation as soon as I pass through!

It's burning my eyebrows now...

I can't say, run out and survive first and then talk about other things!

Lin Dong struggled to tear off a piece of fabric from his shirt, and urinated on the fabric—fortunately, there was urine.

Then he put the half-wet cloth over his nose and mouth.

This is what Lin Dong saw in a fire prevention manual: In the event of a fire, especially a fire in a wood-structured building, first ensure that you will not be choked to death, and then consider not to be burned to death.

Forcefully suppressing the thought in his mind, "Will I go back if I let myself be burned to death?", Lin Dong got up and prepared to escape.

However, at this moment, there was only a sound of "uh".

Only then did Lin Dong realize that there was another figure lying on the ground not far from him.

Because the memory inherited from the original owner of the body, Andrew, was incomplete, Lin Dong only barely recognized that it was Aunt Sophia's daughter, little Sophie, who lived on the same floor.

The girl was about twelve or thirteen years old, and her face was blackened.

"This..."

For a moment, Lin Dong planned to run directly. I am not a professional rescuer, I am helpless.

This fire is not my fault!

Husbands and wives have to fly away from each other when disaster is imminent, not to mention that I am not familiar with you at all.

But at this time, I heard little Sophie frowning and muttering in a coma: "Mom, I'm hot... water... cough..."

Lin Dong: "..."

Gritting his teeth, the cat leaned forward, picked up the little girl and carried it on his shoulders.

Well, fortunately, the strength of this body is not small, more powerful than the self before the time-travel. It seems that the rumor that the magician's physique is poor is not absolutely credible.

Lin Dong tried to identify the direction in the thick smoke and ran out of the fire.

The situation was urgent, but what Lin Dong didn't notice was: the moment he decided to save people, a tear-shaped pendant on his neck that looked gray and inconspicuous suddenly flashed a blue light.

Like a ray of life in a chaotic fire field.

...

The fire spread.

If it was placed in the modern society before the crossing, fire trucks and firefighters would have rushed to the scene at this time, and they would be professional in fire fighting and rescue.

In this different world dominated by fire magicians, the logic is different.

The magic laboratory that sparked the fire is safe, but the building on the side of the laboratory where the civilians live has been ignited by the fire, and it is burning more and more vigorously.

But because of the sanctity of the flame—especially the magical flame cast by the magician—this fire is not allowed to be extinguished!

You can only wait for it to naturally burn to the "isolation zone" and then go out naturally.

"Mr. Mage, are you alright?"

A strong middle-aged man with his uniform stretched tightly led his team to the street outside the fire site and greeted a small old man in a dark red magic robe who was so dry that he was about to go into a coffin at any time. .

The old man's name was Hobert, and he was the chief magician in this wildfire town.

The middle-aged man is the sheriff of the town, Raymond.

"Of course I'm fine." Hobert sighed, "but... why did the experiment fail again? How can I add the 'ground fire' attribute to my magical flame?" Start thinking.

After a while, the old magician suddenly frowned, and saw more and more civilians running out of the burning house and standing on the street for shelter, crying there.

One of the middle-aged women was almost crazy: "I... Where is my daughter? My daughter is still in the house!"

He was about to rush back to the fire to save his daughter, only to be held by others.

Looking at the fire, I rushed back at this time, but I just took one more life.

Hobart watched with a cold eye, and said to Raymond, who was standing beside him, "I'll leave it to you to deal with the aftermath here. It's the old rule, don't put out fires! As for the losses...well, I'll start raising taxes next month. That's it, I'll go first. !"

With some boredom and indifference, he looked away from the civilians on the street, and the old mage was about to leave.

He also spent the night thinking about the reason for the failure of the experiment and the plan for the next experiment.

"Wait, wait a minute!" The middle-aged woman rushed over, "Respected Master Mage, my daughter Sophie is still in the fire, please show mercy and save her!" She knelt down as she spoke. , grabbed a corner of the old mage's magic robe.

"You are presumptuous!" Raymond's expression changed, and he kicked Aunt Sophia with his foot. "How dare you touch Lord Hobert's clothes in a mere pariah? Are you tired of living? Let go, let me go!"

But no matter how he kicked, Aunt Sophia ignored it.

In the eyes of the mother, she was only staring at the old magician at this time, and the hands holding the corners of the other's clothes were like holding on to the last life-saving straw.

"All right."

The old magician raised his hand to signal Raymond to stop, then turned around and said warmly, "First of all, your daughter did not die in the sea of ​​​​fire, but became a part of the sacred fire, which is not a bad thing.

Second, even if I wanted to save, it was too late.

Because it is not an ordinary flame, but a magical fire that contains my magic power. How can it be that mere mortals can resist it? Your daughter may have—"

With a bang, the entire civilian house finally couldn't bear the engulfment of the fire at this time, and collapsed with a bang.

Aunt Sophia's body shook violently like an electric shock, and then followed the house, softening, as if she had lost her soul.

"—Well, it seems that I don't need to say more."

Hobart smiled nonchalantly.

He casually took off the magic robe that Sophia's dirty hands grabbed, and threw it on the ground.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion among the civilians on the street.

I saw a figure, wrapped in flames, rushed out of the raging fire before the building completely collapsed!
