my age of magic

Chapter 359 159. Ghost Mushroom

The girl was wearing a loose cotton shirt, and squatted behind the stone gate in shock, her fair face was a little blue, her lips were dry without a trace of blood, she squatted in the shadow behind the stone gate, holding a young golden Apple, eating quickly, seems to be hungry for a long time.The pair of round and slender white legs were exposed outside the skirt, making this innocent girl even more embarrassed.There was a wound on her collarbone on her chest, which was left when she stabbed herself with a dagger, but luckily I stopped it in time.

I dug out this gray shirt from my waist bag. I gave her a piece of white bread and a glass of water besides an apple. Quietly watching the wound on the palm of his hand heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. I'm a student of the Magic Academy. I have a friend who is an apprentice priest in the temple. I got some news that she was locked up in this manor, so I came here to find her. Maybe you still know her, her name is Su, if you need my help..." I tried to keep my tone calm, but her eyes were still full of guard.

After hearing me say Su's name, the girl obviously trembled violently all over, but she bit her lips tightly, swallowed back the words that came to her lips, and secretly glanced at me from the corner of her eye, and immediately bow your head.

"You know her?" I asked tentatively.

The girl's face changed, and she didn't answer. Instead, she looked at me warily, and then said to me, "Su Ke never mentioned you to me."

"Didn't she tell you that there's a boy who steals lemons from the lemon tree in her backyard every summer?" I asked her.

After recalling it for a long time, she seemed to have no memory of me at all, so she asked suspiciously: "Who are you and why are you looking for Su? She told me that she had two older sisters and one younger brother, but she said she The eldest sister has not been heard from for five or six years, and her younger brother died a long time ago. She has no relatives in El City! Are you here to save her? She only told me that her sister will definitely Come save her!"

I rubbed my nose and said, "Annie is also here, but they chose to climb the wall from the Golden Apple Orchard, and I will walk this way alone. Excuse me, can you take me inside to find her? "

I mentioned that Su's older sister is Annie, which slightly dispelled the girl's concerns.However, my presumptuous pleading obviously gave her some hesitation, and she whispered something to me pitifully, which I didn't catch clearly at first. It's very unique, but her voice is nice, but it's a little soft: "I just want to... go home."

I think that's right, no matter who escapes from this strange-looking manor with great difficulty, it will be very difficult for him to return. The girl must have had a very dark experience. Since it is very normal to want to go home, you can't demand.

"Well, if it's convenient for you to tell me something about the situation in the manor, I just want to know how my friend is doing now!" So I continued, holding back my urgency and keeping my tone Be as peaceful as possible.

Unexpectedly, after hearing my words, she raised her head and looked at me seriously and asked, "Are you really here to save her?"

Seeing that her eyes were full of hope, those smart eyes seemed to be filled with color all of a sudden.I nodded and said to him: "I swear in the name of only Goddess, what I said is all true."

She looked at me in surprise, I don't care if she knows I don't believe in the Statue of Liberty!Compared with the Statue of Liberty, I am more willing to believe in the power of the ancestors of the orc tribe.

Then I quickly walked in front of her, knelt down and looked at her face, her eyes were a little red and swollen from crying, and I asked her urgently in a half-pleading tone: "Since you know Su, you must know where she is now? "

"I don't know, I really don't know. Originally, the two of us were going to escape together. Except for some accidents, she was called away by Lord Ignaz." When she said this, she was almost wronged The tip of her little nose is also red. She always looks nervously at the back of the stone gate, worrying that someone will come and catch her. He muttered to himself: "I know, but I can't escape by myself, but I don't have the courage to stay there anymore, there is hell, Lord Ignaz said that if we die, our souls will always be enslaved by him, It will never be possible to ascend to the kingdom of heaven, so even if I die, I want to die outside!"

The girl looked a little desperate, half of an apple in her hand rolled to the ground, tears fell down her dirty face like broken beads, and fell on the skirt of the cotton shirt.Seeing her shed some tears, I stepped forward to comfort her and said, "Didn't you already escape? If you hadn't met me, I'm afraid you would have escaped from this dark cave."

I feel a little strange about her words. Why do you still say that you can't escape after you have escaped?

I guess at this time she must have become a frightened bird, and she would be very frightened at the slightest sign of trouble.

If it were me, I would never have the guts to sit outside the stone gate and eat apples, and I would run as far as I can.

Seeing that she seemed very hungry, I dug out another piece of white bread from my backpack and handed it over. I asked her a little curiously: "Aren't you from El City or signed a slave contract? Why do you think you can't escape? Haven't you escaped now?"

She took the white bread very carefully, held it tightly in her hand, and then shook her head and said to me: "My home is in the small town of Maas, which is not very famous, and you may not have heard of the name of this small town." , it is a satellite town that belongs to the surrounding area of ​​El City, so I should be regarded as a native of El.”

I recalled the battle at the end of spring and the beginning of summer, in that battle, I knew Morayal and Sophie, oh, and Lina, the personal maid of the mysterious woman Mansa, I scratched my head and said bluntly "Actually I just know it, I have friends who live there and I've heard it's famous for its golden cider," he said.

The girl covered her lips and praised me in amazement: "You are such a knowledgeable person, thank you, Mr. Magician!"

"Ahem, in fact, I'm just a magic apprentice!" I said to her a little embarrassed.

I wanted to learn more about the manor from her, so I asked her, "Who is the owner of the manor!"

She told me that the owner here is a magician named Ignaz, but I clearly heard from the two priests that the manor here should be the territory of the chairman of the House of Representatives in El City, and the chairman of the council is not O. Ya Joe?Who is Ignaz?Then the owner of this manor is actually someone else?

The girl ate and said: "Master Ignaz has a vicious dog here. It usually goes hunting in the pine forest, but it will come back as long as it is full. I have seen that vicious dog killed with my own eyes." It is amazing, it is burning with flames all over its body. I heard people in the manor say that the dog is a demon dog crawled out of hell, and it likes to eat people. Even if I run into that forest, I will Get eaten by it..."

Got it just for freedom?She knew she couldn't escape, but she was still fighting for her right to freedom.

She was even ready to die at all times, because the moment she saw me, she thought I was the person who arrested her in the manor. At that moment, she didn't even hesitate, and directly stabbed her heart with a dagger, If I hadn't reacted quickly enough to grab her dagger with my hand, maybe her body would have been completely cold at this time.

The girl looked very eager and said to me: "So listen to me, Mr. Magician, if you just want to save Su, then please leave as soon as possible! This is hell, and those people inside are a group of devils. Before they noticed you, get out of here quickly and go far away. While the dog is still hunting, you may be able to go back the same way. If Lord Ignaz finds out, don't think you are Noble mage, he will let you go!"

"Actually, you don't need to save Su at all. Even if you see her, she won't go with you. She has already been devoured by the devil for her soul. She no longer belongs to me. She is already the servant of the devil. I could have escaped with her, but in the end she gave up! No one would restrict the freedom of an apprentice priest, but I don’t know what happened to her. Recently, her personality has changed a lot. She used to be a She is a smart and gentle girl, but recently her personality has changed a lot, and I don’t even know her, compared to before, it’s like two people..." The girl described Su’s changes in recent days,

The girl saw that I had turned around the stone gate and walked into the depths of the cave, chasing after me: "Mr. Magic Apprentice, where are you going?"

"Get Sue out of here!" I wanted to give her a smile and wish you good luck, but I couldn't get the words out of my mouth, and the smile must be very stiff.I want to ease this embarrassment, and then say to her: "I'm sorry, I don't know your name until now, you can call me Jijia, maybe there will be a chance in the future, I will go to the town of Maas, we will have a chance to meet again Meet, of course, and then please don't pretend you don't know me!"

"I...my name is Cindy, thank you for helping me!" The girl named Cindy didn't dare to look at me, she looked towards the entrance of the cave with some shame.

"Then goodbye, Cindy. Good luck!" I waved goodbye to Cindy, I must hurry up to save Sue, since I already knew she was inside, I had to act quickly.

The girl Cindy bit her lip, her face turned pale, and said to me: "You have to be more careful, this cave is full of hell plants, full of dangers, I'm sorry..."

I said to her "Oh, Cindy, you don't need to apologize, really! If you don't have to worry about that hellhound outside the cave, because he was a little noisy, we have sent him back to hell, pine forest It should be safe here…”

Cindy opened her mouth in surprise, but immediately realized that she had lost her composure, and quickly covered it with her hands.

At this time, I finally waved to her, and quickly drilled into the stone gate, and what I saw was the whole cave, which was full of those strange plants from the hell world.

Inside the stone gate, the whole row of Ye Meiluo grows on both sides of the corridor. I finally know that the entire cave is a breeding base for hell creatures, just like that crazy alchemist. Everything here is for the pursuit of those dark magics the power of.Most of the creatures in the hell world are not suitable for growing on Roland Road, but only low-level hell creatures like Ye Meiluo have the most tenacious vitality. No matter where they go, they can survive with difficulty.

After walking a few hundred steps inside, I began to find that a kind of magic flower from the hell demon world also blooms delicately in the cave. After the colorful pink flowers wither, round fruits like peaches will grow on the flower path. I feel Seeing the magic flowers that I can see, I seem to have seen them somewhere. In the appreciation of rare plants that the old Kuru once gave me, there must be such plants as magic flowers. I am very impressed by this, and the orcs do not call them They are magic flowers, but a more apt name for them: poppies.

This is a kind of demon flower of hell race with chronic neurotoxin. That Ignaz seems to really regard this place as a base for raising demon creatures. Not only are some hell hounds scattered, but hell is planted in the entire cave. Among the plants in the world, I saw that on the flower stems of some mature Hell Devil Flowers, many of the round green fruits have been collected.

I continued to walk inside, only then did I realize that the girl was also chasing up from behind. At first I thought she wanted to keep running home, but since she had already run out of the stone gate, there was really no need to run back.

I turned to look at her in surprise, the girl ran all the way over, panting.

"Why are you back?" I asked her in surprise.

Cindy blushed, but her clear eyes were finally willing to meet me. Although she looked like a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, she seemed to have the mind of an adult.She stared at me with wide eyes, and said timidly: "I don't want to lose a friend like Su, maybe it's not too late for me to come!"

"Of course, you are welcome to join Jijia's team!" I held out my hand to her, but before she could react for a while, I quickly shook hands with her, and then retracted my hand.

This time, she blushed up to her ears.

Unexpectedly, the stone cliff below the manor is completely empty. The more you walk up the cave, the wider the cave becomes. There are some blue brilliance growing on the walls of the dark cave. The plants are like some mosses, but they are like some fungal plants.

"Ghost Mushroom!" I almost exclaimed, this magical herb is considered extremely rare in the Green Continent, because it grows in a very special environment, and it needs to be accompanied by some strange hell-type evil plants to grow. , On the Green Continent, this kind of hell-type plant is almost extinct, so the rare magic herb such as phantom mushroom can hardly be found in the Roland Continent.Along with the ghost mushrooms are colorful fluorescent mushrooms. These mushrooms grow so tall that they look like small open umbrellas covering the entire cave.
