Serious Witch's Travel Book

But even so, her hands and feet were still beginning to get tangled in the vines surrounding her.

She didn't even know how the vines kept up with such speed.

The plants wrapped her bit by bit, first her limbs, then her neck and waist, and then her calves were folded behind her and entangled with her thighs. Soon, her arms were also entangled.

She gradually lost her mobility during the struggle, and those hands followed her everywhere, covering her mouth firmly.

This terrible journey was both fast and slow, and when she was thrown on a cushion made of thick black petals, Gnicia felt like she had become a piece of meat on a chopping board.

And that black thing was right in front of her... They were so close that Gnicia could finally get a rough idea of ​​what it looked like.

Is it a woman?

That's all she could say.

The other party has a taller and plumper body than her.

But she couldn't see anything else—most of her body was shrouded in a hazy gray-black mist, as if a graceful and luxurious lady was wearing a translucent black gauze dress.There are only two things that Gnicia can clearly see: her forearms are long sections of wood, which extend the woman's arms, allowing her to move freely, like a wild animal; The wooden horns are just like Adelia's, except that the horns are completely bent from the front to the rear. After being divided into several forks, they all roll forward in unison, forming a vortex shaped circle.

This horn was placed on the monster's head, like a huge wooden crown, unexpectedly somewhat dignified.

It's just...she didn't do anything that fit this kind of dignity.

She stopped in front of the tightly entangled Gnicia, leaning over to lick her body like a deer that has found water.

No matter how hard Gnicia tried to struggle, she...

The faint bulge on the tongue couldn't stop tickling the bottom of her heart, causing the girl to quickly fall into a sweet quagmire.

Give it up and be the food of the forest.

There was such a voice that sounded in Gnicia's ear, gentle and kind.

The girl began to cooperate involuntarily, and she felt in a trance that she was feeding a kind animal—she began to feel happy, and even offered herself to the wonderful tongue until...

Snapped!

The burning pain fell on her pink face.

"Wake up."

------

Eh... I feel like I should change it again...

Don't think about it.

Chapter 91 007. Absorbing Dream Marks

The burning pain on her face completely stunned Gnicia.

She was "dragged" from that eerie, yet sweet and beautiful place - just as she was dragged into the depths of the forest in an unbelievable way before, she was "dragged" in the same way return.

It happened at the same moment the pain appeared on her face. She seemed to see the world being thrown far away in an instant. The rapid change of the scene in front of her eyes even made Gnicia unable to recognize its specific image. Quickly crossing streams, roads, and even flying straight through tall trees, until she suddenly fell back to the place where she was lying now, this drastic change came to an abrupt end.

Where is she?

She looked at the person in front of her in a daze.

The elf she shared the room with... and the other three figures that could be seen in the room.

After a slight start, Gnicia realized that what she saw was no longer the night sky, but the wooden beams, the roof and the simple triangular roof made of straw in the tavern.

Seeing that her eyes had returned to normal, the female elf who was closest to her asked, "What did you see?"

She asked eagerly, and even reached out and grabbed Gnicia's arm, causing the girl to cry out in pain.

"Don't do this, let her calm down."

Seeing this, her companion held her back, and the person who was holding Gnicia let go of it angrily.

——There are four figures in the room, all of them are women, and they all look young.

However, they are all elves, and it is difficult to guess the age of elves based on their appearance. These long-lived races probably have a lifespan twice that of humans. They will gradually stop aging after they grow to a certain stage, and each individual is not too old. Similarly, even if you look very young, you may be an elder in your 80s or [-]s.

They all gathered beside Gnicia's bed. The girl didn't understand what happened. At this time, the elf standing on the outermost edge walked up to her, took out a small cowhide water bottle from her waist, and pulled it out. stopper.

"Drink it, it will feel better."

She brought the spout of the jug to Gnicia's lips, and slowly tilted it down.

The liquid touched Gnicia's lips and trickled down to her teeth.The girl swallowed two mouthfuls. What flowed into her mouth was a kind of sweet and mellow wine. The refreshing feeling followed the slightly irritating alcohol and slid down her throat into her stomach pouch. Gnicia soon felt sleepy. The limbs were stimulated by the mixed feeling of coolness and warmth.

She took a breath and sat up on the bed.

"Thank you."

She thanked the elf who fed her the drink, who just nodded and put the jug away.

"You..." Gnicia looked curiously at the four elves who had gathered in her room. She also vaguely saw a person standing at the door, or at least one, because the door was ajar and it was a bit dim His shadow fell on the floor behind the door.

She touched her face, wondering who hit her just now.

"it's me."

The elf who shared the room with her stretched out her hand at this moment.Gnicia grinned at her in embarrassment. Anyone who was beaten suddenly would be unhappy, let alone...

The girl frowned.

The elf who fed her wine reminded her at this moment: "Have you noticed anything?"

"……Yes……"

Very wrong.

Specifically where...

"She didn't feel anything wrong just now" - this is probably the biggest problem.

If you think about it carefully, she really experienced a very weird and terrible thing just now, she...

"I'm in the hotel right now?"

Gnicia asked them doubtfully.

The elves nodded in confirmation.

She glanced at the dusty walls around her suspiciously, and asked the female elf who was in the same room with her before, "Then I've been in the room all this time?"

——The other party didn't reply, but from the expression and eyes, it was affirmative.

But she clearly remembered that she wanted to relieve herself, and then went out?And then, she...

Thinking of what happened afterwards, Gnicia suddenly became embarrassed.

That messy black monster abducted her, and... But when she was just woken up, she had no doubts about it, even before the elves fed herself wine, she subconsciously took it as "no big deal things" to look at.

If it wasn't for the strange wine that made her mind much clearer, she probably wouldn't care about what happened just now.

But, the strange thing is, she herself did not go out in the hotel, so what happened to her just now?

Doubt filled the girl's heart, and she couldn't help but ask these kind elves who ran into other people's houses in the middle of the night, which should have made people feel uneasy, said: "What happened?"

"You're almost screwed."

"Something unclean has entangled you."

The two elves who were closer to each other coincidentally struck up a conversation, and they explained a few more words, but what they said was not very clear, which made Gnicia confused.

"Let me speak."

In the end, the elf who had fed her two sips of wine before took their place.

Gnicia could vaguely hear that she seemed to be the lady who was talking to another person outside the door earlier.

Based on her own subjective thoughts, the elf standing in front of her may be older than the others—not to mention that she looks like a middle-aged human, she is more mature than others At least, even if you only look at her demeanor, that kind of dignified and mature temperament is something that no one else can find.

She has long pale golden hair that hangs down to her full chest, and they are as eye-catching as bright glass in the moonlight.

She is also wearing a set of tight black cotton armor, which is almost the same as the others, except that she also wears a half-length cloak around the neckline. As her arms are raised and lowered, Gnicia also vaguely sees the cloak. There seems to be a coat of arms behind it.

These elves seem to have relatively standard equipment, but their side weapons are different.

The elf generously waited for Gnicia's small eyes to glance at her. After the girl settled down, she continued: "Serentina. My surname and family need to be kept secret. You can call me that directly. .”

Gnicia continued to wait for an explanation.

"Young human, do you know this forest?"

Her tone was very gentle and soft, and the words she chose were a little strange, as if she was telling a story to a young girl.

"I've heard it's called the Hornwood Forest, but I don't know anything about it." Gnicia honestly explained what she knew.

The knowledge gained from books is superficial after all, especially those geographical locations that have no special significance. All she knew before was only the approximate area and name. Of course, she also heard some things when chatting with the coachman during the day: The location of Jimu Forest is the western border of the Vosges Valley, it is in the north of the road crossing the river into the valley from the south, and southwest of the main mountainous area of ​​the Vosges Mountains.

This vast forest has always been one of the geographical boundaries between the western part of the Vosges Valley and the outside world. Although these trees grow in deformed shapes, the wood they produce is extremely tough and high-quality wood. The local elves will use it to make bows and arrows. Spears, and the surplus part cut down every year will be purchased by imperial officials for military use.

"Indeed, the shape of the trees here is weird, that's why people call it that... But half a year ago, this forest didn't have this name, that is to say, it was quite normal, unlike other forest areas in the Vosges Valley. What a lush land of distinction."

"Oh……"

To cheer her up, Gnicia expressed a little surprise, but in fact she didn't feel anything about it.

"It is said that this forest has become like this 'suddenly' in the last 30 to [-] years—forgive me for using this word, but for the ever-growing nature, this time is indeed particularly short."

"So people have always said that there are some unclean things in the forest, and it is it that makes this forest begin to wither: Although these trees are still growing tenaciously, relying on the strong vitality bestowed by the earth to preserve themselves, but The trees here will no longer bear fruit, and people will not see any flowers and seeds in the forest. If this continues, I am afraid that when all the surviving trees grow old with time, this beautiful forest will also be destroyed. turned into nothing."

The fair-haired elf—Serentina—showed obvious worry.

"And we're a 'hunting party.' Do you know 'hunting band'?"

She didn't seem to mind exchanging those unique customs in the field of elf culture with the aliens, but instead mentioned them to Gnicia with relish.

"Know a little bit."

The so-called "hunting group" is a very special elf social group.

It is said that a long time ago, the elves in Gaul did not have a special army, but even in a country where a civilized society is located, people still inevitably face clan disputes, resource disputes, and even mountain spirits and sea monsters. flow.

The "hunting group" was generally established to deal with these matters. They were formed by young adults from different families in a region to ensure sufficient fairness. They were responsible for solving those problems that could not be solved by lip service—— Including violence adjustment when necessary.

In terms of its specific responsibilities, it is similar to the Empire's security forces, but when the Empire began to get involved in this place, the "Hunting Group" also began to resist the Empire's aggression as a formal armed force.

After long wars and conquests, the empire finally occupied the entire territory of Gaul. However, the "hunting group" system was not completely disbanded. question.

"We were originally active in the area further east, but the lord here suddenly became interested in this forest recently, and perhaps the increasing number of vicious incidents finally attracted her attention—in short, she spent some gold, Hire us to investigate what's going on here."

"'Vicious incident'?" Gnicia interjected.

"Yes, it has something to do with you. In recent months, maybe a year or two, many young girls like you have encountered similar things to you. But they are not as lucky as you, those poor The girls were seduced by something in the depths of the forest, and then ignored them, refused anyone's persuasion, and finally disappeared into the forest..."

"This makes us have to suspect that something extremely evil and filthy has already occupied this forest, but it is very dangerous to act rashly, so we have been stalking around here for a while..."

She suddenly reached out and stroked the messy hair on Gnicia's forehead, and slowly guided it to wipe away from her ears.

"Would you tell me what happened to you just now, young human being."

"okay……"

Where her fingers touched the skin, Gnicia felt a comfortable warmth from her touch.

The girl began to tell her what she had just experienced.

She told Serentina the whole process from when she went out, of course, some details were reserved, for example, she skipped the part where she was licked by that monster, because it was too shameful .

But Serentina pressed her—she asked Gnicia to explain in detail what the so-called "becoming the food of the forest" meant.

Surrounded by a few pairs of curious eyes, Gnicia persisted for a while, and finally had to tell the truth.

"You mean, she licked you?"

"Yes……"

The girl's face was very hot, and she felt that other people should feel similarly to her, because she saw that other elves blushed, but Serentina remained as usual.

"Interesting, she didn't mean to hurt you? She's gentle, isn't she?"

Although Serentina held her hand to comfort her, Gnicia still hesitated and couldn't speak.

So the blond elf leaned forward, and her red lips almost touched Gnicia's ear: "Did she hurt you? I mean, it will make you hurt..."

Serentina calmly tapped Gnicia's lower abdomen twice with her fingers.

"No, I... am not that." Gnicia understood her words,
