Serious Witch's Travel Book

[Okay, okay, well, you are very trustworthy, bring it closer. 】

Still holding a bit of fear in her heart, Gnicia slowly lowered the pot and placed it next to the "water eel".It twisted and got into the vase, obviously its body was many times larger than the vase, but until it was no longer visible from the outside, the bottle showed no signs of overflowing.

Gnicia put her hand away, and then carefully tilted the mouth of the bottle. She saw that the "water eel" that entered the bottle had completely lost its previous shape, but had become nestled in the bottle like sticky glue. Li, motionless, if someone who doesn't know, probably just think it's just some strange liquid medicine, right?

Gnicia asked it tentatively, "What are you?"

【I'm... Actually, you don't need to know who I am. For our common safety, it's better not to know my name for now.Feel free to call me 'hello' or something if you need to. 】

"Ah, well...then..." Gnicia thought of the explanation about the ability given to her by "life", and couldn't help asking: "You...are you a 'god'?"

The stone shrines related to the old gods that no longer have widespread beliefs, and this strange image, and the ability to make Gnicia understand its meaning without the need for a mouth and normal language at all... It feels like it It seems to be very close to the "sages".

【god?Of course not, hey, how can I climb that kind of thing?It's possible if you're thinking about demons and stuff—I've already said that I'm a witch just like you, so you understand? 】

"Understood." Gnicia looked awkwardly at the liquid in the bottle that began to churn because of a mistake in her words--compared to a witch, this is more like a water demon or something?Can the water demon also learn the spells of intelligent creatures?

【What kind of expression is that on your face! 】

"Nothing, nothing..."

Its sound did not seem to come out through normal channels. Gnicia subconsciously moved the vase away from her just now, but in fact the position of the sound she heard did not change, nor did it appear due to the change of direction. Deviation, this thing seems to directly send the sound to my ears through some way...

Ding Ding Deng

Gnicia suddenly heard footsteps approaching, she hurriedly lowered the bottle in her hand, and when she looked back, she saw a nun whose name she didn't know was walking towards her.

Compared with the older, taller, kind-hearted Emma and the arrogant, but young and full of youthful vitality, this nun's height is not too prominent, and the timidity and worry between her brows are obviously better than For other emotions, she is very introverted. When she saw Gnicia outside, she wanted to get out of the way for the first time. Then she realized that the paths of the two did not conflict, so she stood crookedly in the aisle On the edge, he bowed his head to Gnicia at the door: "Hello, Sister Gnicia..."

She was soft-spoken and lacked force, as before—she even excused her enemies.

Without waiting for Gnicia to speak, she said again: "I want to get something for Sister Marianne, so I... go first."

Before she finished speaking, she lowered her head and went upstairs.

【your friend?I guess, it can't be a nun? 】

Gnicia subconsciously moved away from the door, but the thing in the bottle guessed her worry and told her: [Don't worry, no one can hear my voice unless there are very powerful people around. 】

"There's someone big here...maybe."

Gnicia reminded the strange thing.Sister Marianne's name contained at least the word "Long". Although she didn't know the status of that senior nun in the state church, since she had several followers and seemed to have some private soldiers accompanying her, she was Not far from anywhere.

[Then when she comes, just point the bottle at her and let me see. 】

"She's hurt a little, probably...but I'll remember."

【Injuried?what happened? ] The voice in the bottle suddenly became surprised. [Uh... Could it be that you did it?Am I wrong about you? 】

"No, that, of course not, how could I hurt people indiscriminately..."

So under the questioning of this voice, Gnicia roughly summed up the matter.

She first explained her current situation to this "a mass of things" who claimed to be a witch: she is currently in a human town, and an orc army attacked here at dawn yesterday, and the head nun was injured just now in a battle with orcs , is currently receiving treatment.

[Orc?Is it so close... Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise I might encounter some stragglers head-on. According to the direction marked on the map, let me see... You are in Pine Candle Castle, right? 】

Gnicia didn't really want to know how a thing without eyes and without a map "sees", but she was very interested and didn't say much.

The "witch" then began to ask her more questions, including why she was in the city--because nuns are rarely stationed in churches--and why she was wearing this nun's clothes, even her" "Mother" began to cross-examine, and the energy to break the casserole to the end reminded Gnicia of "power", and the temperament of the two seemed to be somewhat similar.

These questions took some time to explain, so Gnicia simply sat down in the shed.

The argument she gave was still the same: she was a descendant of a public pharmacist, because her mother died, she was unwilling to accept the conscript of the empire and tried to leave her hometown, and was caught by the patrol while crossing the blockade... ... She omitted some of the following things, the dragon and so on are a bit shocking, and she didn't mention anything about Adelia—she just told this strange water that the nuns probably liked her because of her gender and identity. She took pity on her and decided to offer her shelter for the time being.

Well, that's probably what happened.

If you want to say what is the biggest gain for Gnicia from dying several times in the past two days, it may be that she has been forced to learn to use this rather authentic "life experience" to deceive others.

[Well, then, you have never been educated to use spells, have you? 】

"Yes."

Gnicia put the small clay bottle horizontally on the table, and she found that the liquid inside would not flow out because of the tilt; although the "creature" that got into the bottle was really weird, it was very talkative , and did not show any obvious hostility, the conversation between the two "persons" made Gnicia, who urgently needed to vent her depression caused by Marianne's injury, immediately relaxed a lot.

It is worth mentioning that when Gnicia relaxed and could calmly accept all kinds of news from the ball of water, she finally determined that the voice of the other party should be a woman.

A little more mature than myself... probably like Numeria's nun?It seems to be a little bigger...

Very magnetic, gentle, yet lively.Her thinking is much faster than Gnicia's, and she is very assertive about what she cares about. Once Gnicia's words arouse her interest, she will immediately ask them out, without ambiguity.

【No wonder you don't have any trace of casting spells on your body, you are as clean as a little white sheep that has just been shaved. I think any witch would like a young girl like you, it's too... 】

Its words paused, and Gnicia seemed to hear the sound of saliva being gently stirred when licking her lips in a trance.

[Then, little girl, do you want to learn spells? 】

"Me? I—" Gnicia suddenly realized that she was indeed a witch.

This is an identity recognized by the sages, so it's a matter of course that she knows spells, right?But in fact, she is completely confused about how to use spells.

Unlike the night watchman, she appeared on the stage wearing the full outfit of the night watchman. She has never seen the "witch's outfit". At present, her only impression of her own ability is that she lied that she was a potion The [Way of Potion] that I "perceived" when I was a teacher.

"I think, but..."

She looked down at her clothes.

She is now wearing a nun's clothes. Although the clothes don't have any practical effect like a gift from a sage, it means that at least for now she is close to the position of the nuns.

The sages taught her to be true to her word, and to abide by some basic morals in everything—since she was protected by Marian, at least she should... respect the state religion?

【Hey, whatever, this skin won't prevent you from learning magic.Besides, you were originally a witch, and now you are only forced to join them temporarily. The nuns and us are natural enemies, so why hesitate? 】

"But the others have been nice to me."

Although Emma almost kissed herself, and Phaedra gave her instructions, Sister Numeria was very patient with her and cared about her life to some extent. Apart from the sages, Gnicia was the first To feel such concern in another person for once.

As long as that fierce head nun doesn't really give her a knife, then she doesn't need to regard the nuns as enemies at all.

【Yeah?I don't like those chanting girls very much, but I can respect your opinion. Are you going to go to the convent with them? 】

"This one……"

Gnicia froze.

That's right, she has forgotten about this problem, she can't really follow these women.

The first goal given to her by the sages was to go to Geneva, and the second was to inquire about the "Holy Grail" in the local area... So no matter what, the first thing she should consider was how to get to Geneva.

These nuns mentioned Paris when they were talking yesterday, and they explained that the monastery of Mount Santa to which they belonged seemed not too far away from Paris. Gnicia didn't know where the "Castle of Pine Candles" was, which was really not the case. What a famous place, but she knows Paris, which is northwest of Geneva.

No matter how you go, if you follow these nuns to Paris, you should only get her farther and farther away from Geneva-Geneva is on the southeastern corner of Gaul.

After considering where she might be, Gnicia hesitated and asked this strange creature who was willing to communicate with her: "Maybe I should leave them. My mother said that I should go to the Black Forest..."

【bingo--!That's right!The Black Forest is the eternal home of witches - so act now! 】

The ball of water suddenly became excited, and before Gnicia had time to react, it quickly escaped from the vase like an arrow leaving the string.

It climbed onto Gnicia's body, and as soon as it touched the girl's skin, the originally solid form quickly turned into a water film.The feeling of it crawling on the skin made Gnicia's hair stand on end. The girl instinctively reached out to press her arm, but found that the thing was crawling so fast that it squeezed into the torso of the nun's clothes from the shoulder in the blink of an eye.

[Take me to see the head nun who has taken over you, huh huh, if she is a bad person, then teach her a lesson! 】

It played hide and seek on Gnicia - it was impossible to imagine its bloated and lazy fish-like appearance before, and now Gnicia couldn't catch it no matter how hard she groped.

"Wait, don't drill into your legs... ah!"

Chapter 52 036. A water demon who loves explosions?

The water swirled around Gnicia's body a few times, and finally climbed onto her shoulders.

Its temperature is not as cold as the river water, but it still left a cool touch on the girl's skin, and it was still a little sticky... Now her thighs and lower abdomen are full of a strange tactile residue, It reminded her of what it felt like to be licked by that elf.

Feeling uncomfortable.

[Don't worry, I'm not in such a hurry, we just met, didn't we? 】

"That, that, isn't it a little..." Gnicia held her breath and picked up the bottle: "Can you come back in here? It's a bit cold..."

【No, you have to take me into the church. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for you to take this thing in like this?Besides, sticking it to your body can provide good cover, so let's get used to it a little bit. 】

As the temperature passed, Gnicia really didn't feel so uncomfortable.

But she was still not at ease: "You are a wizard? You won't hurt them..."

[Of course not, how could I care about these ordinary people?But it’s not necessarily if they attack me...]

Gnicia stood there for a while, she was really not sure whether she should bring this thing she had provoked into the church, and then the ball of water began to spread on Gnicia - it flowed down the shoulder blades to the girl At the same time that the coolness caused goosebumps to appear all over the girl's body, it urged maliciously: 【Go, go, go. 】

"No!" The more urgent it urged, the more uneasy Gnicia became. She refused the threat of this thing and walked towards the river instead.

She wanted this thing that claimed to be a wizard out of her body.

And that thing seemed to know her thoughts, and began to circle around her again: [It's useless, I finally found a similar one, how could I let you go so easily? 】

[Take off this tiger skin, come and learn magic with me. 】

It dispersed from the original lump to a completely shapeless appearance, like a fragmented rag, constantly entangled around Gnicia's upper body.

[Don't go, what's the use of going to the river?I am not soluble in water. 】

[Or do you want to take a cold bath to wake up?uh-huh? 】

The stream of water wrapped around her body suddenly contracted violently—I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, they touched the sensitive part of Gnicia’s chest, and in a low cry, the girl who had never experienced such embarrassment hurriedly hugged her , to drive the mass of fluid away from around his chest.

"Please don't do that!"

The sudden offense caused Gnicia to raise her voice slightly.

[Okay, okay, I was wrong, it was all careless, I just don't know how to control this kind of thing.Take me to those nuns? 】

Its persistence made Gnicia doubtful. Although out of respect for "life", Gnicia didn't have the idea of ​​turning against this strange thing, but she also didn't like this ominous thing: "I You must know what you are going to do, or I will never go to church."

[You are still quite towards them... Forget it, it's nothing, I plan to persuade these people to let you go with me, you don't belong here, compared to eating vegetarian food and reciting scriptures and then being a useless old woman as a concubine, I can let you live live a more free life. 】

These words really moved Gnicia's heart, just as Gnicia thought before, she really couldn't stay here forever for the mission of the sages.

Gnicia carefully made her request: "If you can promise not to hurt them, I will take you in."

[Hmm, no problem, well, I didn't intend to harm anyone, after all, I'm not from a devil? 】

After hesitating again and again, Gnicia still planned to take this thing in to have a look.

She was still quite tangled in her heart—now that Sister Maria was injured, if she brought a strange thing that knew no good or evil into the church, would she be taking advantage of others?But she really can't do anything about it, the thing is now hidden under her clothes, like a fish sucking on her body, although it didn't wet her nun's clothes, Gnicia couldn't get rid of it, this potential danger It's also true...

I can only hope that it keeps its word, at least, its voice is quite kind.

So, Gnicia walked through the long corridor in the back room of the church and returned to the hall of the sanctuary.

The nuns are still here, and they laid out two layers of carpet on the pulpit, and they took the pillows and put Sister Marianne on it.

She doesn't look very good. Although the wounds on her body are almost invisible, her eyes are a little empty. Numeria is sitting next to her in a daze, while the other nuns are sitting on the benches in the front row of the hall. On the ground, he was closing his eyes and bowing his head, silently reciting the most holy prayer.

Gnicia also saw Flynn, she was sitting next to Sister Emma, ​​her round face was no longer playful like when she came to see her earlier, but a little worried, sitting stiffly——she She didn't chant prayers like other nuns.

Gnicia and her glanced at each other. She was still thinking about how to speak to pave the way for her next words, but she suddenly felt a slight but rapid push on her shoulders, and at the same time the voice said to her anxiously : [Go back, go back quickly, come on, I'm doing it for your own good! 】

She didn't know what to do, but the thing stuck to her urged her urgently, so she retreated a few steps like a stream, and backed up one after another amidst the urging sound, until she exited the church and returned to the backyard before stopping.

As soon as she stopped, the voice suddenly complained loudly: 【Scary to death!How can you stay with an angel? 】

"Angel?"

[Yes, that's...forget it, I don't think you understand, anyway, you should just stay outside.I also want to make sure, none of these nuns know you are a witch, right? 】

"Should be, no." Gnicia thought about her performance before, and added: "I told Numeria that I can make potions, but she didn't let me talk nonsense, and why This warned me."

【——What a stupid girl, it seems that you have met a good person.But with your silly appearance, if you were placed here, you might be eaten up by an angel in a few days... No. 】

It changed the subject: [You said you could make potions?Did your mother teach it? 】

Gnicia hesitated vaguely, did she feel that she had said the wrong thing?

【Okay, why don't you go and make something that will explode, let's blow it up and run away? 】

"……what?"

[It exploded——'bong! 'So, is there anything more fun than blowing up churches? 】

"No, I have no grievances or enmities with others..."

[Don't be burdened, those of us who are called 'witches' are born enemies of the church. 】

She suddenly protruded halfway from Gnicia's neckline, and swelled into a shape like a closed fist, and then it began to rub against Gnicia's face.
