So I became a witch

Everyone was shocked by this appearance, and someone murmured in a low voice: "That right eye... Could it be, unknown..."

"It's a pity that this is innate, even I can't change it. I am your guide, but, as I said before, I have no intention of getting along with you. Since you are a knight, then just shut me up." Just keep your mouth shut and be obedient. Do you understand?"

No one answered, but the expressions on their faces all showed their attitudes.

The figure standing under the street lamp spread his hands: "Well, anyway, as long as I get paid, it's enough. As for life or death, it all depends on your own good luck. Sometimes, luck is much more important than strength. Come over here."

After finishing speaking, the figure jumped onto the beam at an extremely fast speed, and disappeared from everyone's sight after a few strokes.

Everyone else looked at Leila with some doubts, and only after she nodded and said "follow me" indisputably did she finally move.

"This is..." After running non-stop for more than ten minutes, everyone stopped by a wide beach, but the sea water was no longer the blue color it used to be, but it was emitting a foul smell like a sewer ditch and thick black.

"You wouldn't..." Leila looked at the black figure in front of her in surprise, and somewhat guessed what she was thinking.

"No way, this is the fastest way to reach the border of the Black Membrane." The shadow shrugged and said, "The first point is, never stay in an unknown place for too long. But it works everywhere."

"But……"

"Are you crazy? Even an idiot knows that in today's world, the ocean is the most dangerous place, and you actually..." Another knight who followed couldn't help but uttered reprimands.

To his question, Soi Ying replied coldly: "Nonsense, you don't need to teach me this kind of thing. As I said, this is the fastest way, and I won't repeat the same principle a second time."

"you……"

"Enough." The girl who had been standing quietly in the middle of the crowd and never made a sound suddenly said.

"Yes." After hearing her words, the knights who were still in a commotion calmed down immediately, and each of them made way for the girl.

As if attending some important ceremony, the girl slowly walked in front of the black shadow, calmly looking straight into her right eye: "Hello, I'm Xilia, Xilia Rockefeller , and also the second princess of this country. Can you tell me your name?"

After a moment of silence, Sombra chose to speak: "Sterler."

"A star...it's a very good name. Then, Steller, can I trust you?"

"...It depends on your own wishes."

Celia nodded: "Very well, I will entrust my life to you. Please, Steller."

"...Ahhh, I see."

"If this is the case, can everyone accept it?" Xilia turned her head and looked at the people behind her, "I believe in Steller, so please believe her too."

"Follow the princess' order." The knights knelt down on one knee in unison, paying their most sincere respect to the girl in front of them.

Should it be said that it is the birth of a princess?Steller sighed slightly inwardly.The arrogant attitude just now was naturally put on by her on purpose. On the one hand, it was to test these guys, and on the other hand, she also had the idea of ​​making them shrink back. The contradiction is completely disintegrated.

The kingdom's second princess, Celia, huh... Steller silently wrote down the name in her heart.

"That's all right, okay?" The girl put her hands behind her back, showing a playful smile.

For Steller, who was used to the deepest malice in all kinds of human nature since she was a child, she was a little uncomfortable with this kind of pure kindness, so she nodded silently, cleared her throat, and slowly Said: "Let's explain the plan first. In short, of course you will not be allowed to swim there, but I will prepare the boats here. However, the scale is difficult to expect, so it is good to ask for as few people as possible. But there are still a lot. .”

Chapter 91 Disputes

One of the knights frowned. Although he was suppressed by the princess's order, his dignity as a nobleman made him feel a little uncomfortable with the strange guy in front of him: "That's a restricted area for human beings. Only we are the lowest." There is a limit, if there is less, the safety of the princess will not be guaranteed."

"It's an act of death. No matter how many people there are, do you think you can break the forbidden area?" Steller glanced at him and said, "So, it's better to march with a small number of light troops. Let me explain in advance, even if I I can’t guarantee your safety. Once my life is in danger, depending on the situation, I will choose to abandon all of you to save my own life. Therefore, if you are just planning to play house in the spring, you can leave first. "

"You bastard!"

"Silence!" Leila shouted in a deep voice, although dissatisfied, the knight retreated behind the phalanx.

"It doesn't matter even if I give up on me." Celia said suddenly, she stared at Steller's mask, and said seriously, "As long as it is for this country, I am ready to sacrifice. However, if We really found something, please be sure to pass the news on to your father."

"You think I'm stupid, go over and give away the head yourself?"

"As long as they have this, they will believe your words." Xilia gently took off the necklace on her neck. There seemed to be traces of magic on the glazed gemstone. It seemed that it was a very powerful item. props.No wonder the kingdom is so relieved to let their little princess take risks. This necklace is one of the insurances. "This is the transfer key. When the wearer is fatally injured, he will be forced to transfer back to the kingdom. I will deliver it to you. Can you trust me now?"

"Ha, I don't know if you're really stupid or just pretending to be stupid... But I'll accept it anyway." Ignoring the murderous eyes of a group of knights behind him, Steller put away the necklace without hesitation. Into his arms, "Hmph, I can't stop someone from dying anyway. Calculate the time, it should be almost here."

"What are you talking about..." The knight's voice was quickly drowned out by the sound of huge waves crashing against the shore.Everyone lost their voices, because they saw, behind Steller, a black figure was slowly driving out of the forest by the coastline.

It was a ship, a wooden ship, the sails were raised high and full of strength, and the prow was bunched with sharp thorns, which were masts for ramming.There are special openings on the decks on both sides of the wooden ship for placing artillery. Although it looks like a pirate ship from the [-]th century, it is much smaller than that.Steller really didn't lie. With the size of this ship, it was too much for a dozen people to sit on, let alone a group of fully armed knights.

"Is this the boat you were talking about?" Layla asked dully after being taken aback.

"Ah, how about it, isn't it great? You know I spent a lot of effort to..." Steller said proudly, but she was interrupted by Leila before she finished speaking.

"You mean, you call this kind of children's toy facility that was dismantled from some amusement park? Then, we have to take this kind of thing, cross the sea area where countless monsters parade, and arrive at the forbidden zone of the black membrane ?”

"Uh, this, it's right..." Steller scratched his head in embarrassment.

"It's unreasonable! We all came here with the awareness of sacrificing our lives for our country, but your Excellency insulted us several times, it's really..." The male knight who had been ignorant of Steller just now jumped violently again come out.

"Wait a moment." Celia motioned him to stop, she walked slowly to the shore, stroked the hull, turned around and asked Steller, "Does this child have a name?"

"...Ellenview, that's what we call it."

"Well, it's a very good name." Xilia nodded, "There is a certain trace of 'Nian' on it."

"Oh, you actually knew?" It was Steller's turn to be surprised this time.

"It's just a feeling. I don't have the talent for magic." Celia said suddenly.

Steller was stunned for a moment, and then understood what she meant.As long as they are the descendants of nobles, they have the talent of magic, which is also the essential difference between them and ordinary people. In today's world, power represents everything.However, Silia, who is a princess of the royal family, said that she has no magical talent, so one can imagine what that means to her.

"Because of this reason, I am not popular with everyone. I am afraid that I have heard people say more than once that if I am not a child of the royal family, I would have been completely abandoned long ago; or, in other words, I was actually picked up bastard of..."

"That's not the case! For me, the princess..." Leila said excitedly.

"Well, I know." Celia smiled, "But, on the contrary, I seem to have the ability to feel things that others can't see since I was a child. It is because of this that I decided to participate in this operation , Maybe I can use my ability to discover something. Even if I am called a good-for-nothing princess, at least I want to prove that I can do something. If you feel that I am slowing down, then just abandon me. But , I will not give up."

Steller crossed his arms and sighed.Oops, this is really true, I accidentally heard something incredible.Although I noticed the strangeness among these people from the beginning, so I made a special experiment. As far as the results are concerned, only Leila and the one who always find opportunities to talk back to her are truly loyal to that child. The male knight, most of the other people have their own goals, but they came here in the name of the princess.

Even before the trip started, Steller felt a headache.But that guy didn't know anything about the environment he was in, and he looked like a boudoir lady.

Well, forget it, anyway, even if they fight among themselves, it's none of our business.Although I can't fully trust the life-saving talisman given by the little princess, at least it can be regarded as an extra means. I can take the rest of the reward if I can, and I won't ask for more if I can't.For a gambler like her, knowing how to let go is the essence of survival.

Big deal, just throw it all away.

Just like that time.

"Sterler, the most important thing in this world is yourself, it doesn't matter what else you say."

I always remember yo, mom.

So, no matter what happens, I will live alone, absolutely.

Chapter 92 departure

So just like that, the boat carrying "Hope" set off quietly without anyone knowing.

"It turns out that sails and wooden discs are used to control the direction. It really feels quite ancient." Standing beside Steller, Leila sighed softly.

"Compared to these, why don't you take care of your princess and come to my side?" Steller said without looking back.

"For the princess, let her go to the only rest room to rest, and the others are arranged to guard in various places. If you do this, no matter what happens to such a small ship, you can respond immediately." Leila said.

"How dare you say that."

"To be honest, even if the princess thinks you can be trusted, I still have reservations about your attitude."

"So it's because your life and death are completely in my hands now, don't worry, so come and monitor me."

"It's something deeper than that. In fact, I'm afraid of you." Leila didn't feel dirty at all, and just sat casually on the wooden board next to Steller.

"Oh?"

"I can't see desire in your eyes. Whether it's a powerful nobleman or a commoner, everyone has their own desires, but there is nothing in your eyes, which means I don't know what you will do suddenly. You are very dangerous."

"Of course you high-ranking adults don't understand. For guys like us who live at the bottom, just being alive is enough to believe in it. How can there be any spare energy to pursue more?"

"Maybe so." Leila was noncommittal, "However, at first I thought you were joking, but I didn't expect you to really plan to reach the depths of the restricted area in this kind of boat?"

"Ahh. I never joke about my life. Besides, it doesn't do me any good to lie to you, does it? I never do meaningless things."

"Well, so to speak, we have set off for so long, and we haven't encountered a single sea beast. Even the sharpest ship in the kingdom was sunk by the terrifying monsters lurking in the depths shortly after sailing. Therefore, I have to give up the receipt and payment of the sea territory, but this small boat has done something that countless people in the kingdom cannot do, it is really because of you, right?"

"...This is a secret."

"Is it related to what the princess said? Well, forget it, I didn't plan to find out the root cause."

"Are you relieved a little?"

"Ah, I was dubious after being recommended by that person, but now, I kind of start to think that you are pretty good."

"That person?" Steller was taken aback inwardly, but remained calm on the surface.

"Hey? Don't you know? I thought it was one of yours."

"Can you be more specific?"

"On a certain night, a guy surrounded by black suddenly came to my room and said a bunch of strange words, what kingdom is about to perish, unprecedented disasters will come, we must find the legendary For this, I need someone's help. At first I thought it was some crazy thief, but I didn't expect that soon after, the king secretly summoned me and said the same thing as the man in black. Later, I followed the contact information left by that person, and found the 'Black Feather Sect', who is also your member, and said that this problem can be solved."

"..."

Completely, meaning unknown.

However, it is impossible to deny what she said on the one hand, otherwise, it is true that it cannot prove why the religious order composed of a group of children, which has not been active in front of people, was actually approached by people from the kingdom.

"Well, did you think of anything?" Layla asked.The reason why she said that just now was obviously to test the other party, but there was a mask blocking her, so she couldn't see Steller's expression at this time.

"……sorry, we do not have that."

Who would do such a thing?Those guys from before?No, if it was them, they wouldn't do such troublesome and meaningless things.Then, it will be...

I thought it was just an ordinary trip, but now it seems that it is full of secret feelings.

"According to the current route, how long will it take to reach the destination?" Leila asked again.

"...If there are no accidents, it will arrive in about two days."

"That is to say, are you going to be here all the time for these two days?" Leila was taken aback.

"Ah. Because no one else can do it but me."

From the beginning, only Steller was at the helm of this ship, and only she could do it.The ship that the Kingdom spent countless efforts on was sunk by sea monsters shortly after launching into the sea, but this small pirate ship can sail for several hours. The real secret is not on the ship, but on Steller.

That bloody right eye is different from ordinary people.

With the help of it, Steller can see everything that ordinary people can't see. Thanks to this, he can easily bypass the areas where dangerous sea beasts gather, and ordinary little monsters, although they don't want to admit it , but although these knights who came with the princess have their own ghosts, their abilities are beyond doubt. With the blessing of "magic", each of them has enough power to destroy a small country, so they dare to be so confident to the restricted area of ​​human beings.With their strength, it is more than enough to defend.

But this is just the aftertaste of the early stage.The closer you get to the depths of the black membrane, the stronger the entrenched monsters will be. At that time, you can only resign yourself to fate.

"I'm sorry for taking your Excellency so long, then I should go back to patrol." Leila stood up from the ground and said politely.

"No, I'm also very happy that someone can come to chat with me, after all, it's boring to stand here all the time."

"Really? Then if you have time, come and find Your Excellency to accompany you. Goodbye."

After confirming that the figure of the other party disappeared from the deck, Steller kicked the wooden board under him: "She has already left, you can come out."

After a while of silence, the floor suddenly started to move, and then a figure suddenly pushed the wooden boards out from the overhead floor, carefully exposed half of his body, and whispered while patting his chest: "Huhu, I didn't expect Leila It surprised me to come over suddenly. If it weren't for your cover, I would definitely be scolded by her."

"Then, what's the point of coming to see me if Her Majesty the Princess doesn't go back to her room to rest at such a late hour?"

Chapter 93 Planning

Xilia pulled out her whole body with a "hey yo", sat down on the spot where Leila did just now, and stretched her arms: "Because I'm bored."

"Don't you have so many guards? How about chatting with them?"

"But they don't like me."

Steller's heart skipped a beat. It turned out that this seemingly innocent and lovely princess was not ignorant of reality.

Silia walked to the splint of the bow on her own, staring at the direction of the sea.Having said that, in fact, with the eyes of ordinary people, I probably can't see anything in such darkness.Sure enough, Xilia came back after a while and sat down on the ground again: "This is the first time I have seen the outside world."

"Really? How does it feel?"

"It's not very good, it's dark and damp, and there's a rotten smell in the air. But...it's very similar to the world I imagined." Celia seemed to be talking to herself, "No Xinghuo, there is no warmth, I can’t see anything, I can’t hear anything, as if I’m dead. Such scenes have appeared in my dreams countless times. I used to think that after waking up from the dream Everything will be beautiful, but in fact, reality is just a continuation of dreams. Now, why do you think we live in this world?"

"That kind of thing is completely irrelevant. Only a guy who has enough to eat and has nothing to do will foolishly think about something. When you are really struggling, you don't have time to think hard."

Xilia laughed out loud with a "puchi" and said, "Ah, so that's how you look at me?"

Steller was noncommittal, and carefully manipulated the steering wheel.

"So now, you have nothing to do, right? It doesn't matter if you think about it a little bit?"

"Has no one ever reminded you that you're actually annoying?"
