Serious Witch's Travel Book

"...That's...you dreamed about someone you like?"

"A person you like?" Gnicia tilted her head.

Adria?

Is it a "like"?

The sages told her that the so-called "liking" means wanting to stay with each other and get close.

In a sense, maybe yes - she really wanted to get closer to Adlia, but... Adlia wouldn't let herself follow her, what was that?

If her "like" is mixed with other people's "dislike", should she still say "like"?

In terms of etiquette, you should give up after being rejected, right?

A series of thoughts made the girl's mind confused, she couldn't answer, she simply spread her hands: "Who knows..."

The elf looked at her, and said to her calmly: "A beautiful dream is not a bad thing."

"maybe."

With the bottom in her stomach, the short but clear dream was brought up again, and Gnicia couldn't help but start to think about what happened at Candlestick Castle again.

In stark contrast to the wonderful dream she had just "experienced" and the final outcome of the journey to Pine Candleburg, as long as she thought about it, she would think of the forest ignited by that terrible flame, swooping down, The giant dragon that tore the terrible behemoth into pieces like mud, and the crooked wounded people in the church.

What the elf said was right. A beautiful dream is not a bad thing, but the real bad thing is even more sad when it is set off by the beauty.

The girl quickly recalled the nun who was stabbed to death by the imperials in front of her, and her eyes gradually lost their brilliance in the struggle and strong desire to survive.

Her name is... Tiberias?Gnicia didn't know her well, but a good girl who was trying to save others a few days ago died in such a terrible accident almost before returning to safety, which made Gnicia uncontrollable. There was an "unfair" complaint.

And Phaedra... She jumped off the cliff right next to Gnicia, but Gnicia couldn't do anything, she couldn't even save her by killing herself.

The sages had warned her that she was different, and she should not put herself on the same level as these mortals, and have no empathy with them.

But how could she do it?

This kind of pain should have nothing to do with me, but now it goes deep into the bone marrow.There is no heart-piercing intensity, but it is like a thin needle gradually piercing the skin, making Gnicia, who still has a hard time understanding life and death, start to feel confused, and her bright eyes are also dimmed in the entanglement.

She didn't notice that the elf's hand slowly touched the hilt of the sword.

With the imperceptible push of the thumb, a cold light bloomed quietly in the darkness.

Thanks to @{"reader_id":"6453424","reader_name":"Writing is great, come on"} for throwing a big treasure chest.

When the busy period of time passes, we will make more progress as promised.

Hmm... In addition to a little at to express my thanks, I will answer the question by the way:

The reason why the Lily label is not added is because Shuke has been a little... paranoid recently, because the last time Lily's articles were reported, many of the same kind were blocked. The original content is somewhat sensitive, so let's avoid it for the time being...

In addition, the chapters that the sages swallowed can only be seen in the group.

Chapter 90 006. Forest Food

knock knock knock.

The sudden knock on the door woke Gnicia from her blurred eyes. She looked at the door, and the elf in the room sheathed her sword one step earlier.

The two looked at the door at the same time - the knock on the door did not ring again for a long time, which made Gnicia wonder if the sound was a hallucination produced by her in a trance, but the female elf lying on the adjacent bed was not like her Thinking, after waiting for a while, she stepped on her high leather boots and walked towards the door.

Gnicia subconsciously retracted into the quilt, leaving only half of her head to look out.

The elf walked to the door, opened the door a little, and then stopped.

Gnicia couldn't see anyone outside the house, but she could hear the disturbance was also a woman.

"There is no accident tonight. The next shift has been replaced, and now you can rest."

The elf in the room replied: "It's hard work."

"They said there was a little girl in your house?"

"Yes."

"...You should pay attention to the impact."

"The customs are different."

"But other people will care, and it's not safe."

"It's ok."

"...Well, it's up to you."

Then the door closed.

Looking at the elf who returned to the bed, Gnicia didn't know what to think, she couldn't help asking, "Is that your friend?"

"Ah."

The elf was not too happy to talk to her, so she lay back on the bed again. This time, she seemed to be ready to sleep... Gnicia also rolled over and lay down. She was looking forward to the new journey tomorrow morning, and she closed her eyes and started to sleep.

...As a result, she didn't fall asleep for a long time.

She wants to let go.

She just drank a whole bowl of thick soup, and she also drank some water in the afternoon, and now she feels a little suffocated in her stomach.

She thought about enduring it and falling asleep, but the more she tossed and turned, the more difficult it was for her to fall asleep. As a last resort, she slowly got up from the bed and wanted to go out for a while.

But the moment she made a new movement, the elf who was in the room with her immediately turned over and got up.

Her reaction was too intense—the first time she got up and didn't say anything, she even covered her body with the quilt, even though she didn't take off her clothes at all.Her hanging hand had already grasped the hilt of the sword, as if Gnicia was plotting against her, even if Gnicia didn't understand the meaning of it, she felt that the elf's behavior was too aggressive up.

"……How are you?"

"..."

The elf's hand left the weapon.

"Where are you going?" She asked calmly.

"Go out... solve your personal problems and be back soon."

Seeing that she didn't say anything else, Gnicia put on her shoes, and hurriedly left the room in three steps at a time.

It's really weird, is she that scary?

As soon as he entered the backyard of the tavern, his vision immediately widened.

There is a large open space in the center of this traditional courtyard, and the bright moonlight swayed uninterruptedly on the ground, as if coating the whole world with a layer of soft silvery white.

The night was quiet, there were a few more wooden carts in the courtyard, and the horses were led to the stable next to it.Gnicia didn't see anyone in the simple wooden corridor, and she didn't see any moving things in her field of vision—the whole world fell into a kind of quiet silence, and with a light veil shrouded around The surrounding moonlight shaped the tavern outside the city into a wonderful dream for only one person.

Although it was cold and the excessive silence made people uncomfortable, the bright moonlight gave the girl the impetus to move forward. Gnicia carefully bypassed the sundries protruding from the car board and the ropes on the ground, trying to get out of here. Find a solution to her physical problems in the backyard.

It's a pity that she didn't get familiar with the environment when she first came here, so now she can only wander around like a headless chicken. She walked a long way along the corridor but couldn't find the bathroom. In desperation, she opened the After passing through the gate in the backyard that could accommodate a car and a horse, he pushed it open a little bit with difficulty, and then walked to the street.

She looked up to the hills to the north, and Blücher was not half a mile away.

It was a city of considerable size. It was built on rolling hills. Rows of houses with red tile roofs were vaguely divided into two or three floors above and below the hill. This natural terrain made part of it seem like a tall and complex city. As a whole, it looks far more magnificent than the town area of ​​Pinecandle Castle on the plain.

Gnicia really wanted to go in and play, but she knew it was impossible. They would not be able to enter the city in the afternoon, and it would be even more impossible tomorrow morning. According to the coachman's intention, they could walk along the city wall on this side at most. Circle, and then continue along the road - if you want to reach a far enough transit village before nightfall tomorrow, it is impossible to spend time going into the city to make a detour, unless they plan to travel or sleep in the wild at night, and But for an ordinary traveler traveling with only two people, it is very dangerous not to find a settlement of civilized races at night, at least the coachman is not willing to take this risk.

If only we could hurry up during the day, then maybe we can play in the city all night.

Gnicia really wanted to see what the bustling big cities looked like. Although she didn't like places with too many people, she wanted to join in the fun once in a while.

Hmm...maybe we'll just have to wait until Lysonid.

She couldn't find a place to relieve herself, and she couldn't deal with problems in other people's fields or by the wall, so she had to go to a farther place.

The girl followed the road all the way to the outskirts of the village. Gradually, she left the farmland and residential areas, and walked into the edge of the sparsely wooded forest.

...and that's it for now.

Going forward, the trees are too shaded, and the moonlight cannot be seen. The twisted branches of the entire forest area seem to be a hideous thorn bush, and the green branches and leaves on the crown of the trees are like clouds blocking the sky. Like a dark cloud, the forest that was only a dozen steps away was shrouded in a dark and dangerous haze.

Gnicia walked away from the avenue, she squatted down in a hidden place, and quietly solved the problem.

Then she came out, ready to go back the same way.

Still too sleepy - Gnicia yawns big.

Step, step, step.

The girl rushed back with brisk steps.

Although this place was a little strange, she instinctively felt that there was nothing wrong with it - after all, this place was close to the city, and there were at least a few hundred people living nearby, so what could be the problem?

So when she realized something was wrong, it was too late.

Step, step, step...

She heard her footsteps overlapping with something else.

That quiet but vaguely audible abnormal sound was particularly obvious in this quiet night.

Gnicia stopped in her tracks, she turned slowly and looked back.

— nothing.

True enough, she saw nothing.

The moonlight was completely blocked by the trees on both sides of the road, and even a long way ahead was shrouded in the shadow of slanted trees. It was very gloomy here, but she really didn't see anything. The road was empty, even if she squinted and went further Peeping from a deep place, what you see is only the veil of the Evernight Goddess.

But this didn't make her feel at ease, the girl shrank her neck and continued to walk back, her pace couldn't help but speed up a little.

salsa salsa...

As if the wind was blowing the leaves, the sound of rustling sounded from the darkness on both sides of the road.

It makes your heart beat faster.

Gnicia stopped again, she turned her head, but still saw nothing.

have what……

beast?

Impossible, here is so close to the human village...

She looked around the forest in front of her. Every tree here grew in strange shapes. Almost none of them had a straight trunk, but twisted from half a person's height, growing crookedly, with branches all over the place. Extension... It's okay if you don't care, now Gnicia is a little panicked, looking at these trees is particularly weird-they are like slender figures in the dark dancing in strange twisted poses, silently oppressing the girl's heart.

As a person who is close to immortality, Gnicia is indeed not afraid of death, but she... is afraid of ghosts.

This is almost an instinct, and the sages do not additionally correct this interesting defect.

Fear of something she couldn't see made her walk faster and slightly disheveled.

salsa salsa...

However, as she speeded up, the faint noise behind her also became more unscrupulous.

She only took thirty or forty steps into the woods, and now she wanted to run out, naturally it would not take much time, but the sound that was getting closer and closer behind her oppressed her too much. Shia turned her head and looked back in a strange way.

This time she finally saw something.

She saw a black figure a few meters behind her. They were so close that they could touch each other with a single pounce.

It looked like a chaotic thing, and it was even difficult to see its shape. If I had to describe it, it was probably a foreign body that was on all fours, like a big cat... half human and half animal.

It resembles both a human and a beast, because it maintains a crawling posture in front of Gnicia like a beast, but its body is very close to that of a human being—although the hazy blackness surrounds its body, Gnicia Shia can still see its most obvious features, her hands and feet are completely human-like, and she can even see the obvious female sexual characteristics hanging on her chest... But its arms are weird Long, which allows it to crawl normally and freely like a beast.

Even though Gnicia has read a lot of messy books, it is still difficult for her to recognize what it is. If it is a beast without reason, except for its blurred face in the dark and faint flickering Except for the red eyes, everything else looks like a naked human female, but if it is a human...she will never admit that this is the way and appearance of a normal human being.

This kind of human-like but different thing touched a kind of particularly sensitive fear in Gnicia's heart. She subconsciously let out a soft cry, turned her head and ran towards the village.

It's already too late.

She heard more, more distinct voices—the sound of walking through the trees, following her footsteps.

It was a terrible vine, and the girl didn't know why it happened.

She saw vines and twisted branches crawling around her like snakes and insects, and they gradually rose, almost surrounding Gnicia.

She finally thought of calling for help, as long as she made a loud enough noise, then...

"And—uh—!"

As soon as half a syllable came out, she was covered by something chasing behind her.

The strength of that thing is amazing, Gnicia can't even struggle, and it seems to use some kind of magic, the girl watched the scene in front of her recede towards the distance at an incredible speed, she was like She was put on a fast horse, and the horse was carrying her galloping away from the human habitation - at a speed that made it difficult for her naked eyes to distinguish the scenery.
