Serious Witch's Travel Book

To be honest, Adlia knew that the people from the Saint-Tah Mountain Monastery (Note 1) should be here ever since she saw the nun who came to deliver the quilts to her group in the middle of the night.She has a good memory, and people who have seen it once will not forget it. The nun has been to Belgica before. Although she is only the entourage of Sister Marianne, it is enough for Adria to remember her.

The head nun is a popular person next to the nagging regional governor. There are often rumors that she has an affair with the governor... Adlia is not interested in human emotions, but she had expected the Holy Couch The head nun of the mountain may come here, but now it's just a fulfillment.

She doesn't have the idea of ​​just sitting still and waiting to die, even if it's just a little chance, she will try it.Now she can avoid the death penalty, but the orcs are also a serious threat, and she must remind the military commander here to take effective precautions.

But when she saw the human woman she met by chance again, her heart couldn't help but lift up.

Why is this happening?

"I'm fine."

She calmly responded to the human pharmacist's kindness, and then found a wall to lean against by herself, and she didn't even dare to look at the woman more.

She really couldn't look at that woman anymore, as long as she met her gaze even a little bit, she would feel as if her soul was about to be sucked away.

Why is this so?

Adelia was full of doubts.

……witchcraft?

She thought of that first, because the Romans had said Adelia was a witch when they dragged her into the wagon.

But she clarified this point herself, and her words are credible: In this troubled world, it is quite normal for a woman not to want to serve a warlord. As for the methods of witch hunters (Note 2), Adlia knows Yes, most of the time, those guys with bird-head masks can catch anyone, except the real witch...

More importantly, Adlia didn't feel the "power" that those wizards should have in her.

Unlike druids who advocate and use the power of nature, the magic used by wizards is relatively evil. Adlia has met many witches over the years, and some of them came to visit her on their own initiative, and some of them came to meet her for political needs. They came to visit, but as far as she saw about a dozen witches of different strengths and weaknesses, they all had a relatively obvious "sense of abnormality".

Druid spells pay attention to obedience to the veins of the earth and the veins of the wind. The wind of magic essence, the overflow of the earth veins, and living objects are particularly important prerequisites and resources for casting spells. In the environment, you can get twice the result with half the effort, but if you deviate from the environment, the effect of the spell will be damaged, and it will even be difficult to cast the spell.

Although the wizard's "magic" is similar to the druid's spell in the general direction - both sides need a suitable environment to obtain power from the outside world - but in terms of details, the wizard does not rely on a calm resonance negotiation , but "grab".

Even in places where the magic energy is poor, wizards can use spells relatively normally, and even in places where the magic energy is rich, the strengthening of their spells is limited.

From another perspective, druids pray for the power of nature to let them take the initiative to achieve the results they need, while wizards rely more like a set of mysterious arithmetic formulas, using the rules they have researched to obtain At the cost of natural magic essence and certain spell-casting materials, a limited effect can be achieved within the feasible range of the formula.

Of course, wizards have more diverse sources of power than druids. Among the people Adria has met, there are people who are "born with magical powers", "gain power from communicating with demons", and "cast spells purely by knowledge". There are several types, but no matter which one, due to the long-term use of violence to interfere with the operation of the magic element, they themselves have produced a subtle repulsive force, which will make the magic element avoid their surroundings invisibly.

The more powerful the witch is, the more obvious this natural repulsion phenomenon is. Although this does not seem to directly and seriously affect their spellcasting, for elves with keen senses, wizards who often cast spells can see it with just one glance. It can be concluded that the void created by Mosu around them is like...

It's just like……

Gnicia...

She woke up suddenly, and her whole body froze.

Why does she think of the hole, she just...

In the dark cell, Adlia scratched her palm vigorously with her not too long nails.

She found that she could no longer think about things directly related to Gnicia, as long as her thoughts were slightly off, she would immediately think of some very bad aspects.

This is so... weird.

She knew that some elves were proficient in the art of illusion, and druids also had a way to create illusions. If it was a witch, there might be someone who had mastered similar skills.Gnicia not only does not seem to have any experience in casting spells, but she is also...

"Boom!"

A sudden muffled sound startled the other two in the cell, Royce hurriedly asked concerned: "Your Excellency, are you hurt?"

"No... no."

Adlia took her hand back, she just slammed something next to her hand hard to wake herself up.

The spirit of elves is very strong.

They were born in the holy tree, and they are born to maintain a certain degree of coordination with the place of their birth. In many cases, part of their spirit, or even nearly half of them, maintains the connection with the holy tree. The closer the tree is, the stronger this connection is. When this connection is the strongest, they can even achieve the effect of mutual communication with their companions.

Because of this connection, it is very difficult to confuse the mind of an elf. Even if Gnicia really knows how to use magic, Adlia does not think that she will be spelled by a rookie witch who has almost no experience in casting spells, even though she so charming...

"Boom!"

"……Your Mightiness?"

"I am fine."

It's really... asshole.

She even felt herself getting wet.

Time passed by with Adria's entanglement, Royce's wonder, and Gnicia's uneasiness.

About half a quarter of an hour later, Royce resonated with the wind spirit again, and she finally confirmed that the orc army was getting closer and closer, and they were marching towards a definite destination, which was the Song Dynasty. Candlekeep.

"It looks like Clovis isn't going to let me go."

Adlia sighed with emotion: "There are enemies everywhere."

"Your Excellency, perhaps we can retreat to Britain..."

The situation has been getting worse and worse in the past six months, and it is difficult for Royce to remain optimistic. As a member of the Belgica garrison and a member of the "Red Hood", she has heard There are many voices who hope to transfer to the British island. The elves cannot survive under the attack of the empire and the barbarians. Even adding the Roman supporters who settled in the province will not help. If the empire really decides to abandon Belgi Card and Upper and Lower Germania, then in the near future, they will probably not maintain this superficial peace.

The order to clear Belgica has not yet been issued. In terms of establishment, Adria is still the governor of Trivolu City.On the bright side, the empire claimed that the attack by the Red Hood caused the whereabouts of the governor to be unknown, and took the opportunity to occupy the city of Trivolu, and Adelia "naturally" changed from the governor to the leader of the independenceists. Undoubtedly, it was a mediation plan by the governor of the Gaul region. In this kind of border area, many citizens couldn't tell where they lived, so who would care who the governor was?

All they need to know is that the old Governor was killed, and now there is an independent occupying the city. Propaganda is such a convenient thing...

Just think about the human civilians who were in the same car with her. They couldn't figure out the relationship at all, and just heard her title and decided that she was a traitor.

The empire is putting on a show, which means that the matter has not yet reached the point of tearing the face. That is to say, if she retreats to Lugtown with her own guard of honor and personal guards with great fanfare, then she can immediately cleanse herself and change from "red" "Hood" to change back to the governor... It's just that this may be exactly what the elders want. As long as she loses the territory substantially, then the elders' goal has been achieved, so what if she sells face and resettles?

Sounds great doesn't it?

But Adlia couldn't accept this humiliating concession.

Today she retreated from Beljika to Lugtown, what about tomorrow?Tomorrow the Franks will call again, where is she going?Next Lugtown province?

Then when the land where she can get support is lost, where will she go?Britain? —Then Britain is lost too?

What's more, there are millions of elves in northern Gaul, and she has no reason to let these people be slaughtered by orcs.

Those are her compatriots, not to mention she still has Gurney...

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"...?"

"Sorry, I'm fine."

Before too much time has passed, the so-called "Abbot" finally arrives.

The nun named Numelia carried her a hollow iron lantern with a half cloth cover. When she opened the door and came in, Gnicia quickly confirmed that she had seen her—that is, earlier From time to time, she would whisper to Adlia by the prison car, the nun with the child.

Gnicia didn't like her very much, she cursed.So Gnicia bowed her head and stepped aside.

She and Adelia obviously had an old relationship. Seeing her coming in person, Adelia walked to the door and looked at her.

The head nun spoke first: "I didn't expect to meet under such circumstances, Adria."

"Call me Sarah."

Adelia corrected with a cold face.

"But you can continue to call me Marianne, if you like..." The head nun gave a faint sigh, and she went on: "You are so lucky, if there is not something wrong on the road, maybe you will catch up with me." It's execution ground."

"I thought you would take the initiative to come to see me. I didn't die, let you down?" Compared with the gentleness of the head nun, Adlia was obviously tit for tat.

"No...how could it be." The head nun shook her head: "His Royal Highness Placidia likes you very much, he...his invitation to you is still valid, you should join us...as long as you bow your head..."

"Join you guys? Don't be stupid, you know his reputation, look at yourself."

Adelia's emotions suddenly became a little intense. She waved her hand from top to bottom, and said harshly like an elder teaching a junior: "Look at your body, what you look like now. You are in the St. Michael's Monastery. Times don't look like this... What have you been through? Giving yourself to someone who isn't even going to give you a role? I don't even have to guess what kind of role you're in, that girl, she Yes or no?"

A series of harsh reprimands made the head nun a little stupefied, and she nodded reluctantly when Adlia stopped talking.

"He doesn't even want to form a relationship with you as a human husband and wife? I can't understand at all...you dare to invite me."

"No, Adelia, this is completely different from what you think, I..." Facing Adelia's unspeakable displeasure, the head nun was obviously flustered, and her expression was very tangled, which even made her Unable to speak, she knew that she had calmed down her emotions, so she said bluntly again: "I'm not what you think...you should..."

She couldn't go on, and in the end, all the unfinished words became wordless silence.

Adlia didn't just wait like this, she told the head nun who claimed to be Marian neatly: "I didn't call you here to listen to your sophistry, I just want to tell you that something will attack here soon. "

"What?" The head nun was stunned.

"When I was sent, I heard the person at the door say that Clovis left in a huff."

Although she doesn't like orcs, the conflicts with the Romans in the past two years have made her unable to sympathize with these imperial lackeys-so Adria's words are somewhat joking: "Now that he is back, I think You came with an army, are you going to fight, or are you going to run for your life?"

------

Tips.1: Most of the monasteries in the empire are established and presided over by nuns, usually located in ashrams outside the city.On the contrary, the vast majority of churches are the home of male clergy, preaching and presiding over religious work in places where the population converges.

Tips.2: The empire specializes in dealing with demons and ghosts and illegal mages—these mages, which are different from the southern Babylonian system, usually call themselves wizards in the north—these personnel are called "witch hunters". According to different targets, Their titles will be slightly different.Witch hunters have to fight a lot of things, and wizards are just the most representative category. Captured wizards are usually escorted to some specific places for burning. It is said that this will allow the dark power they dominate to return to the origin of the world.

In other respects, they have to deal with ogres, green-skinned monsters, enchanted villagers, crazy colleagues, and even rats that are about to catch up with human heights...

Chapter 20 015. Before Dawn

Marianne froze for a moment.

Obviously, she definitely didn't accept Adlia's statement at first, but as time went by, she slowly accepted the elf's statement.

A melancholy color gradually stained her dark brown eyes, followed by her full lips pursed, as if she was considering a solution.

Adlia directly put forward her request: "Let us go."

"It's impossible." Marianne refused without even thinking about it: "We finally caught you, how could we just let you go like this."

"What if the orcs start attacking Upper Germania?"

"..."

"As far as I know, it doesn't seem to be in the governor's consideration to give up all of Upper Germany, right? Since he started to build a blockade line along the Saone and Moselle rivers, it means that he intends to contain it along this line The footsteps of the Franks, the river and the mountains have been natural defensive areas since ancient times. If Pine Candle Fort is lost, the empire will lose the initiative in the Upper Germanic area. Military stronghold..."

"It's true, but what if I let you go?" The head nun frowned, "It takes a week's journey from Pine Candle Castle to your territory, plus the time it takes to summon the army. You can't make a difference without a month... I have four companies of reserve soldiers. Clovis knows the situation here. If he still insists on attacking here, it means that he has enough confidence in other places for support Occupy or crush here before coming..."

The head nun paused for a moment, and then continued: "Then, why should I let you go? If you can't leave, it won't be of any benefit to the situation in Germany. I only see that you will take revenge on His Highness Placidia. Then I I'd rather keep you here."

"You're wrong, Claudia. I can't take care of your barracks. What I need to do is go back to Trivolu and regroup my legion there. We will defend the province of Belgica, if there is If the opportunity is right, I will attack the rear of the orcs, and as for Upper Germania...sorry, there is nothing I can do."

Even Gnicia could hear that such a statement was a bit unreasonable, and it was obvious that Marianne in front of Adlia felt it more deeply.

The entire facial features of the head nun were slightly distorted. She seemed to want to say something sharp, but in the end, she chose to be "tactful": "This is really a 'calm' way of thinking, Sara Purcell."

"This is the most reasonable choice. I will only consider the continuation of the sacred tree."

"...you ruthless guy, is there still nothing that can tempt you after all these years?"

Adelia froze for a moment.

Marianne looked at the other people in the prison room, her face straightened: "Stay here well, after I solve the problem of the barbarians, I will send you all to Paris."

"...How on earth did he confuse you to make you work for him to such an extent? I still remember that you made an oath to keep your body—not to be greedy for the glitz of the world, not to do infidelity, and not to yield to the power of evil—" Right?" Adelia looked at her with burning eyes: "What about now? Are you still keeping your oath?"

"Enough!" Marianne cut her off sharply.

Her chest trembled violently a few times, causing Gnicia to look slightly sideways—Adelia mentioned her "body", from the perspective of Gnicia standing aside, that trembling body The gnocchi does have enough...magnificent.

Marian took two steps back, and suddenly clenched her hands and shouted in a low voice, "It's all because of you!"

—After saying this, she left.

The Numerian nun closed the door for them, leaving a gap at the end, and deliberately glanced at Gnicia.
