Annihilated Lilith

Chapter 7 7. Nid Hoag
Emma snorted, ready to enter her room, closed the door and ignored Hayward.But he was repeatedly called out.

"I paid a tip for you, so thank you at least."

Hearing this, Emma remembered that she couldn't owe him such a favor, even if it was just a tin coin, so she hurried over and took out the money from her purse to give it to him.Hayward refused to answer, hiding his hands behind his back.Emma wanted to stuff it directly into his shirt pocket, but he deftly dodged it.

Emma threw the tin coin at his feet, made a few crisp sounds, and then turned around again to enter the house.

I don't know what spell Hayward quickly uttered, but Emma's door actually closed itself with a "bang!" in front of her, almost hitting her forehead.

"Who wants your money, what I want is thank you."

When Hayward said this, Emma thought of the naughty boys in the village when she was a child, playing pranks just to attract the attention of girls.

Taking two deep breaths, Emma tried to calm her emotions.She has not been a troublemaker since she was a child, and this person in front of her is obviously difficult to deal with.

"Thank you. May I go back to my room?"

"No thanks, no thanks." Hayward's eyes were bent into crescent moons, "However, you can't go to rest yet, you have to go shopping with me."

"Why?"

Emma's almond eyes widened with disbelief on her face.

"Because classmates need to take care of each other and love each other. No, if you're not a classmate, let's go between candidates."

Just about to start swearing, Emma suddenly shut up and looked the person in front of her up and down. After all... as a candidate for Turin College, she must first be a... girl?
Indeed, for a man, Hayward's features were too delicate.The reason why Emma preconceived that she is a man... Firstly, her movements and posture are too rough and wide open, secondly, the neat curly hair, thirdly, the voice tends to be deep... Finally The important thing is... Emma's eyes stayed on Hayward's chest.

"It's impolite!"

Heyward caught her thoughts, and folded his arms over his chest.

"I'm still a girl! It's normal to be smaller!"

"Really... the girls in our village have already developed at the age of ten."

Emma didn't want to show mercy to the other party at all, and she was a little bit deliberately angry with her.She couldn't help laughing after she finished speaking.Looking back now, Hayward's legs were indeed a little too smooth, and it is rare for boys of this age to have no leg hair.

"I'm sorry, I did treat you as a boy. If that's the case, how about we get even? Who told you to lie to me that you are a demon hunter with the team. And I suspect that your name is not Hayward at all."

"First of all, I want to give you a surprise; secondly, my dream is indeed to be a witcher, because I have been very interested in magical creatures since I was a child; finally, Hayward is the witcher I took for myself. name, is there a problem?"

"Okay, okay, no problem. What do you want to buy? I'll accompany you to buy it, okay."

"It's not to 'accompany' me to buy, but to 'follow' me to buy. You are the one who needs to buy things."

"Me? What do I need to buy?"

"clothing."

Hayward snapped his fingers, and the previously closed door opened.She pointed to Emma's luggage on the ground.

"Looking at the size of your backpack, it can only hold a few thin dresses."

"Well, what's the matter? It's fine if it's clean and fresh."

Do you still need to dress up every day when you go out?
"The castle of Turin College is built on the halfway of the Immortal Holy Mountain, which is covered with snow all year round. What's wrong with you?"

Emma was speechless, she thought of Dani's words before she left that she was afraid that she would be cold, would that brat be a prophecy?
……

With Hayward by my side, the days of waiting for the entrance exams to start passed quickly.As a "noble lady" who has no airs, Hayward took Emma for a stroll in Calilia, and took the trouble to introduce or answer various new things for her.

Even in such a big city, she still wears a white shirt, black shorts, and a pair of black ankle boots, and only adds a short cape.The main body of the cloak is also black, but it is embroidered with intricate thorn rose patterns.The bright red rose is the only bright color on her body that belongs to women.

The day before the entrance examination, the hostel received a notice that the college would come to pick up the 120 candidates who lived here in three batches, and everyone had to go outside the city gate and wait on time.Emma and Hayward are the last batch, just arrive at the waiting place before ten o'clock.I don't know if this is good luck, but at least I can sleep a little longer to keep my spirit in the best state.

On that day, Emma dragged Hayward out early, for fear that she would be the last one to arrive.The luggage is stored at the front desk of the hotel, and if you pass the exam, someone will send it to the college.

The waiting point is not far from the city gate, it is a huge open space.At the edge of the clearing, the flag of Turin College was planted, with irises and swifts embroidered on a black background.

Other candidates also arrived one after another, nodding politely to each other.Among them were several "true young ladies" who were richly dressed and wore jewellery.They naturally huddled together, covering half of their faces with exquisite fans, chatting in low voice, accompanied by several servants.

During these days in the hotel, Emma had never seen them, and she presumably only let the servants stay to receive notifications, while she lived in a more luxurious hotel.

Looking at their demeanor and behavior, and then at Hayward, Emma couldn't help frowning.

Heyward, who was so clever, understood at once what she was thinking, and flicked her forehead hard.

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I just think it's good that you are like this... Why hasn't the carriage from the academy come yet?"

"Carriage? Use your brain, can you get to the castle in the middle of the mountain today in a carriage?"

Emma really didn't think about this problem. The castle of Turin College was built on the Immortal Holy Mountain. Starting from Kalylia, you have to go east across the uninhabited Moss Wasteland.If I remember correctly, it will take at least two or three days just to get to the foot of the mountain.

Just as he was about to ask, there was a roar from far and near above his head.

"It's here... It's the first time I've seen it too, it's really extraordinary..."

Hayward looked up at the sky, expressing emotion to himself.

It was a spaceship that fell from the sky, well built.On the three huge masts, the sails spread their wings like seagulls.The bow of the ship is carved with an ancient dragon, its wings are attached to the body of the ship, and its thick forelimbs are wrapped around its chest. The dragon's head is raised proudly, and its mouth is opened, as if it is about to spew deadly dragon breath in the next moment.

"This is Nidhogg, the exclusive means of transportation of Turin College. Its name comes from the famous black dragon."

Nidhogg, the incarnation of despair and disaster, is said to be the guardian of the World Tree.However, there are other sayings, saying that he is constantly gnawing at the roots of the World Tree in an attempt to bring the world back to chaos.Then maybe he succeeded. In short, the world tree only exists in the mythology that was first recorded.

After landing about ten meters above the ground, Ned Hogg stopped moving.A few rope ladders were lowered from the boat, and a voice came down clearly from above.

"Candidates board the ship, and the entourage returns to Karelia to wait."

The majestic voice was unquestionable, but there were still some complaints from the gorgeously dressed noble lady.

Complaints are nothing but complaints, climbing up the rope ladder is quite easy, Emma watched in surprise as the ladies fastened their skirts a few times, and boarded the deck effortlessly.

Those who can receive the notice of the entrance examination will definitely not be weak women who are purely pampered.

"sail."

When the rope ladder was retracted, the voice came again, but I still didn't see who was directing it.There are only a few busy boatmen on board, manipulating the sails.

With the loud sound of "Kaka", Nidhogg rose again and kept rising until he reached the clouds, as if he had floated to the surface of the sea of ​​clouds.Then, it began to move forward easily, as if sailing into a quiet harbor.

Emma hurried to the bow and looked forward.In the distance, the top of the Immortal Holy Mountain passes through the clouds, as if hanging in the sky.
