"That contract of yours is really bad enough."
Ling also curiously picked up a grass seed from the basket, and threw it into his mouth without changing his expression.
"The taste...is barely acceptable, it would be better if there is white vinegar."
Ella looked at Ling in shock. She was suddenly curious about the latter's acceptance of various foods. Ella even suspected that joining in did not consider ethical issues. From the perspective of taste alone, Ling's recipe range might be wider than Wen's. Diego is even wider.
Speaking of the insidious "burning blood contract", Ella remembered that it was mentioned in the book that it was the magic of the Mephisto family, but considering Ling's achievements in magic contracts when she was in Kraft, she had almost no experience. I can control my smile.
Ling frowned, then reached out and pinched Ella's face,
"I always feel that you are thinking about something very rude..."
"Don't make trouble—I made a mistake, forgive me—"
Ella's voice became a little lisp because her cheeks were pinched.
At this time, Ling suddenly stopped moving. She seemed to have thought of something that she had ignored:
"Ella, do you think we arrived in the Land of Nod earlier...I mean, earlier than Schiff and the others."
"So you left the map in Shadelin's cabin before and said that someone might be able to use it later?"
Ella stopped struggling and nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I also think there is such a possibility."
"However, the transmission time was delayed for more than several days, and we were even sent to the past. Is this possible? In the worst case, we may even be sent hundreds of years ago. You can't wait for the envoys until you die, right?"
Lingqu sat back on the chair.
"This is theoretically possible. The material world and the different space have different time flow rates. If we encounter a world with a flow rate difference of hundreds of times, that may indeed happen."
But Ella then puts up a finger,
"But it's obviously not here. Nosferatu said he knew Nils. If that is the same Nils we know, the time flow speed of the two worlds should be very close."
"You also heard it just now, Nils Cain who holds the sacred spear of Tepesh, the body collector of Enoch... I don't think there are two people who are so similar."
"So I think there are two situations, either we arrived in the land of Nod a few days earlier than the mission, or there was a deviation in the location - either way we should continue to stay in Balaam, Wait for Hyde and Shadow, or find a way to get the word out that we're here."
Saying that, Ella opened the suitcase again and released Beatrice from the birdcage.This little bat-like messenger seemed a little reluctant, but it soon seemed to smell something that interested him.
Beatrice found the wooden barrel that was placed on the table, and stretched out her slender tongue to lick a few mouthfuls of the viscous red liquid.
The fact that Beatrice would drink blood made Ella somewhat unacceptable, but she couldn't find any safer food to feed her for the time being, so she had to acquiesce in this matter.
Under Ayla's command, the courier will expand the scope of the search and return twice a day to report clues.
Chapter 35 The Jealousy Doll
The girl in a black dress shuttled through the wind and snow forest. She passed over the soft snow as if she had no weight at all, leaving only a few slight dents the size of fingernails.
The girl looked like a legendary banshee or ghost, her fair skin did not have the warmth that a living person should have, and her ponytail and skirt were like black smoke flying backwards.
Shadow stopped, squatted down and picked up a broken crystal particle from the ground, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.
Wendigo's magic resistance was not high, and the opponent's unstable body, which was already full of curses, looked fragile under her magic, and might become fragmented at any time.
This time, the crystal particles were already mixed with an indelible smell of rotten wood. From the shadow's point of view, it should be regarded as a part of the other party's important organs.
She had watched Schiff's dissection of Wendigo's corpse, and when most of the organs had been absorbed and degraded, the basic structure of this creature became very simple and easy to understand.Except for the necessary heart, stomach pouch, and brainstem, the thorn-like parasites replaced the functions of most of the original organs.
Therefore, the withering spell or some magic that can cause the loss of vitality is the natural nemesis of this kind of body.
In the long years of thousands of years, although the shadow has not seen this kind of antler monster alienated by human beings, it is not that he has not come into contact with similar things.
In Miss Puppet's memory, the conditions for the birth of similar creatures are actually quite harsh, which made her very interested in the origin of Wendigo.
The only troublesome thing is the opponent's ability to control plants freely. In this kind of weather, traces disappear very quickly. In addition, the forest itself provides cover for the Wendigo, which makes the pursuit even more difficult.
The shadow could already imagine the other party's appearance when he fled. The twisted black roots squirmed like snakes in the snow, dragging its huge wounded body away.
The mobility barriers caused by injuries are rendered meaningless in this situation, and the Wendigo's escape speed is no slower than when they appeared.
But Shadow felt that he was not in a hurry at all. Just as Schiff judged, it was not the only hunter in the forest, and weak monsters would also be regarded as food by other things.
She could feel that the other person's life was passing by bit by bit, but her state hardly declined.
Although she didn't want to admit it, this puppet body that Roger devoted so much effort to make was different from a fragile human body. She was hardly affected by temperature changes and would not be afraid of the curse mixed in the land.
This cursed land contains a huge magical power far beyond the material world. Perhaps this is a terrible poison for the living, but it is perfect for the shadow.She absorbs magic power twice as fast as the outside world, which is almost equivalent to soaking the shadow in a bathtub filled with advanced magic potions.
The trees in front of him gradually became denser, and Shadow raised his head and smelled it.She smelled curses and death in the air.
very close—
Miss Doll spat out the chewed crystal powder and plant roots. In the process, she has almost analyzed Wendigo's ability to manipulate plants.No, or the term manipulating plants is not appropriate, it is just individuals with more concentrated pollution giving instructions to lower existences.
If she wanted, she could use the materials from Nod to make a new body for herself, and become the most polluted individual here.
If Wendigo is the child of the forest, the shadow who fully accepts the curse will become the co-lord of this area.At that time, she can even order the roots to turn around and tie up all the monsters and send them over.
In doing so, though, her new body would likely grow a few pairs of antlers and a mane as well.
"Who wants to be so ugly..."
Shadow muttered to herself as if laughing and scolding, and she waved her hand, causing the dense trees blocking the way to gradually wither.A stone hut not much larger than Shadelin's residence appeared in front of the doll.
To be honest, whether it's the unlucky Williams, the crazy girl from the Mephisto family, or the somewhat unbeatable Hyde Belusay, although these guys are not normal or even a little stupid, but they are indeed Be nice to yourself.
This kind of experience of not being an item, but being treated as a human being is something that Shadow has never experienced for thousands of years.
Shadows are awkward and narrow-minded magical souls, even if the carrier is changed from a mirror to a doll.According to the principle of equivalent exchange in alchemy, she does not allow her efforts to not get any return.
"You still owe me twice, don't just die so casually—no, when did my words become so much?"
The strange feeling made the shadow stop, and she looked at her unsteady hands in disbelief. Is the body malfunctioning?The magic link is not stable enough or some other unknown error——
Her hands were shaking slightly.
"I... am afraid?"
The shadow frowned and stopped in front of the dark door of the stone house. This abnormality came from the keen intuition of the magical soul, but it was hard for her to imagine that there was anything behind the door that could pose a threat to her.Even if there were a dozen Wendigos hidden inside, Shadow felt that she was sure to escape unscathed, not to mention that in her spiritual vision there was only one dying monster here.
Reason and intuition had an incredible conflict, but she finally decided to go in.
Shadow walked into the dark stone house, and her emerald glass eyeballs shone with fluorescence in the dark night. She has good night vision and will not be restrained by this environment.
In the doll's glass eyeballs, the half-body crystallized Wendigo crouched in the corner of the room, reverted to human form, a scrawny young boy.The boy was holding half of the frozen human leg, gnawing on it.
In this state, the spread of the curse was slowed down, and as he kept eating, the crystal blocks gradually fell off his body.Maybe as long as it gets through tonight, its injuries will heal. Although it can't compare with the dirty blood, this self-healing speed can be said to be very good.
"Why do you have to kill me, you are obviously not human—"
It only spoke half of its words, and a black crystal pierced through the boy's right eye, completely crystallizing its body together with the brain.
"It's different, I was never human, but you were—and I hate things I don't value."
The puppet's sarcasm tone was somewhat sour, as if the gradually cooling corpse was still talking to her.
Shadow noticed that her gloves were a little torn, exposing the ball joints unique to dolls, she frowned, and took out a frilled black lace glove from her pocket.
She bought this when she was shopping with Hyde last time. The doll looked at the slender lines under the gloves with satisfaction, which made her feel more like a human being.

No.30 Six Missing Shadows (150 monthly tickets plus updates
In a dimly lit house, a girl with black hair and a black skirt faced human limbs hanging all over the room.
"In this way, that kid's life should be considered saved."
Shadow turned over the remains of the monster that gradually swelled and decayed after death, and couldn't help becoming more puzzled.
"But why do I still think it's dangerous here?"
She twisted off one of Wendigo's antlers, and took out his ice heart.Out of caution, after quickly searching the room, Shadow picked up a few things that he thought might be useful by virtue of his intuition, and quickly left the stone house.
But the vague uneasiness did not dissipate as the shadow left the stone house. After changing positions several times in a row, she decided to put this matter aside for the time being.
Shadow looked at the three items he got, a few fangs belonging to the filthy blood, half a jar of muddy water, and a pair of bloodshot eyeballs of unknown origin.
Miss Doll first casually threw her fangs on the ground. The thing was useless except as a specific magic material. She bit the wendigo's antlers with her two rows of hard teeth, and chewed a few times with a frown. Then, he took a bite of the ice heart by the way.
This time the shadow didn't spit out these residues, but swallowed them with disgust, and began to analyze using the characteristics of the body.
"It's not just pollution and curses... the smell is familiar to me."
She seemed to have thought of something unbelievable, and in disbelief, she put the remaining half of the antler under her nose and sniffed it.
"It's unmistakable...this is the smell of divine power."
It is a very common residue in miracles performed by the gods, like holy water or the smell of faith on similar priests.Wendigo's power is far from being able to produce divinity, so the extremely unreasonable appearance of this divinity lingering fragrance is particularly intriguing.
Eyes...what kind of world do you see in those bloodshot eyeballs?Shadow thoughtfully picked up the pair of eyeballs, her fingers froze in mid-air, and the reminder from reason made her aware of the abnormality of her actions once again.
This hesitation lasted for less than a second, before Shadow took a deep breath, took out his own glass eyeballs, and embedded the pair of unknown objects into the groove.
In an instant, the color of the world changed in her eyes.
The golden flame mixed with blood-colored threads occupied the ground as far as she could see, and the half bucket of muddy water also shone with a dim luster of divine power!
That's the way the world is, tainted and cursed as some kind of twisted dregs of divine power.
"God's punishment, it turns out that this is the so-called curse and pollution - Cain was exiled to the land of 'nothing' beyond the brilliance. If the legend is true, it is not surprising that this land is full of god's punishment, but what is it? Something can keep this force alive?"
After a brief shock, the shadow's eyes penetrated to a deeper place - it was a huge shadow sleeping deep in the flames.
Although the doll's body didn't have this function, she subconsciously held her breath, and an indescribable fear enveloped everything.
"So that's it...we have to remind them."
In the gloomy snow forest, a distorted black figure appeared behind the shadow, but she was already unable to react immediately.
The power continued to flow from her body, and only then did she understand the source of her uneasiness—not the house, but something that had already targeted her earlier.
