Xiuxian became the king of witches

Although she is not using her original appearance now, Jana can feel that the witch's full eyes are praising her real self, and she can't help but turn her head again.

This cute appearance, in exchange for the witch's bright smile.

The Zhongcheng District is located at the junction of the inner and outer urban areas of Shuguang, and it is also the only area where the lives of commoners and nobles overlap.This large-scale midtown business district not only has a large number of retail shops, but also is the largest cargo distribution center in Ota.

Fountains, painted paintings, small squares, dotted with clean and tidy environment, although not gorgeous, they also show the unique style of Orta culture. Every railing, column, and standing sign carefully displays its own style.

In the endless stream of people, apart from the regular carriages for transporting goods, you could occasionally see new types of magic-powered mechanical vehicles.The huge roar can attract everyone's attention from a distance of [-] meters, which is why it is forbidden to enter the inner city.

The long boulevard divides the surrounding bustling markets. As an important hub of the Northwest Corridor, Shuguang City is also a gathering place for various foreign cultures.If you look around and remove the most classic square tower building in Orta, you can also see a variety of other styles.

But the most important thing is the landmark of Midtown—the Sun Rock Carvings.

According to legend, it is an ancient sculpture left over from the Empire of the Sun. The sun-shaped boulder standing tens of meters high faces the sky, reflecting a wonderful halo in the sunlight, showing a bold and domineering beauty.

The top and bottom of the boulder are perfectly integrated, and there is no trace of splicing.The light golden stone pattern faintly reveals the charm of law, which made Sigrit stop and watch under the statue for a long time.This is the first time she came to Ota to appreciate the style of stone carvings.

"Where the sun shines, it is our seal. If you hold a sword in your hand, how can you respect the gods..."

The back of the stele is engraved with ancient ancient sun characters, which have long been blurred after thousands of years of wind and rain. Even with the knowledge of ancient characters mastered by Higrit, only a few sentences can be deciphered, but the majestic and heroic momentum But it is enduring.

"I heard from my father that this stele actually hides a huge secret, but no one knows what it is."

Seeing that the witch was so interested in the stone carvings, Janna began to explain the information she knew, and the secret passed down from the royal blood slowly disappeared in time.

"Little girl, you are right, there is indeed a huge secret hidden here."

At this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded behind Janna.However, before the girl could react, she was pulled directly behind by Higrit.

"who are you?"

With cold eyes, he looked at the well-dressed figure, and the elegant tuxedo concealed the other's strong body.The elegant aura is no different from ordinary nobles in the eyes of the uninformed, but the witch's mind can see the special things that the other party faintly leaks.

That is the darkness from the mortal enemy of the human race.

Chapter 44 Dark Memory

Feeling the awe-inspiring power coming towards him, the calm expression of the man in the tuxedo obviously stayed in the wind for half a moment in surprise.

Obviously, he didn't expect that he would be easily seen through by the young girl on the side of the road.Besides, there was obviously no trace of magic power on the opponent's body, but his intuition was warning him that there was something extremely dangerous hidden in that slender body.

"Hello, beautiful lady. I'm just a traveling merchant passing by. I think you must have misunderstood something."

The man in the tuxedo took off his top hat and saluted quite like a gentleman. His words of defense were full of innocence, but the fleeting red light in his eyes declared his identity.

"dark……"

Janna, who was hiding behind the witch, finally understood the threat of the other party. Although she couldn't judge the specific racial faction, she dared to break into the human territory blatantly, at least it was a high-ranking existence.

"For an unruly merchant like you, it may not be very welcome here."

The man's ambiguity is obviously showing that he is not hostile, and the active exposure of his identity is to show the frankness of the negotiation. Such a reasonable and dark kind makes the witch's gaze deeper.

"What bad intentions can a traveling businessman have in the lower district? It's just a way to see friends. If you don't welcome me, I'll just leave."

The spring breeze passed through the bright sunshine, spreading a peaceful and beautiful atmosphere as before, and the bustling stream of people was still noisy and noisy, but they didn't know that they had been shrouded in the shadow of death.

very scary!

At this moment, only Janna behind Higrit can experience the secret confrontation between the two auras.Compared with the reassuring overbearingness of the witch, the cold and tyrannical darkness of the enemy is like a boulder pressing on the girl's chest, making it difficult for her to breathe.

It was the first time since the tragedy five years ago that she had faced such a level of darkness.

But Janna didn't flinch, her jaws clenched tightly in hatred, and her whole body sharpened her sharpest eyes, staring at the enemy opposite.

The man in the tuxedo seemed to have discovered the tiny hatred hiding behind the witch, sharp teeth were faintly revealed in his polite smile, and his aura suddenly tilted towards the girl.

do not come!

During the squeeze and collision of will, the painful memory locked in the bottom of my heart was suddenly touched.The dark room, the blood-stained grille door, the shattered rotten meat, the twisted monster... Countless bone-piercing fears crazily eroded the girl's mind.

Still so useless!

The light-white fingers firmly grasped Higrit's skirt, as if her weak body would be washed away by the dark torrent as long as she relaxed a little.

The witch in front of her became her only safe haven in this nightmare, and her timid heart clings to the last place she can rely on.

just like that day...

The back view of her brother's last departure kept flashing back, and Jana couldn't help but tremble. There was nothing she could do except blame herself.

I thought that I had tried to kill a few low-level blood corpses and ghost devourers by myself before, and I had eliminated the dark shadow in my heart.But when she really faced the high-ranking existence of the dark species, she realized that cowardice had been rooted deep.

Exhausting his last courage to tear away the black mist that enveloped his heart, he couldn't find a way forward with his stiff steps.

In the despair of being about to drown, someone suddenly pinched the sweaty palm, and the darkness surrounding the whole body was instantly separated to the two sides, but the cold voice shone into the heart like sunlight.

"Okay, it's all right."

The dazed mind was completely lost in the passing time, until the gentle touch on the top of the head slowly dispelled the frozen chill.

When the absent-minded light fell into the tenderness full of security, it melted in an instant, and the girl had already thrown herself into the arms of the other party.

"That guy has left."

After a long time, Janna gradually regained her rationality in the warmth of the witch, and her anxious face was at first a little bit ashamed.

"Is it okay? Such a dangerous guy is in Dawn City..."

If such a terrifying dark species appeared in the human territory, if it was planning some sabotage conspiracy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"He is very strong, and I have to go all out to kill him. And if this is the case, many people will die in this place."

Witch Yoyo looked around at the bustling street scene, and the passers-by talked about their ignorant happiness amidst laughter.

"Don't worry, he won't stay in Dawn City any longer. I have already sent someone to notify your father and Oloi, and they will handle it properly."

Janna let out a long sigh of relief, forced her weak body to break free from the embrace of the witch, hesitated for a moment and still asked the question that was pressing on her heart.

"...Am I too useless?"

The false disguise was roughly removed, and these days Janna has shown her cowardice in front of the witch countless times.

But she was ashamed of her unbearable performance when facing the darkness just now.This kind of fighter is not to mention excellent, he can't even talk about passing.

Looking at the girl's gesture of pleading for comfort carefully, it was even more difficult to detect the true state of mind in the eyes plated with sea blue. The witch just touched Janna's head again and said softly:

"You will grow up, and one day you will be stronger than them all."

Hearing this encouragement, Janna straightened her wrinkled skirt and stood up straight. Although the bright smile on her face was a bit forced, she still held on to the last determination in her heart.

"I said I would forget about those troublesome things today, but I was disturbed again."

Higrit said, took Janna's little hand again, and squeezed the other's palm again.

"So don't worry anymore, this is an order."

Looking at the witch's unquestionable smile, the small hands that had wiped off the sweat also squeezed Higrit's palm in return.

West Street in Midtown has always been a favorite place for young women to patronize, but for Higrit and Janna, two young girls who are not too young, the street scene here is quite novel.

"Is this skirt too short?"

The long street mainly sells various daily necessities and knick-knacks, among which the most dizzying for female customers are those shops dealing in clothing, jewelry, and cosmetics.

Certain exotic styles caught the girl's attention even more. Although she couldn't deny the slight interest in her heart, Janna, who was used to wearing men's clothing, still found it hard to accept.

"This is clothing belonging to the United States, which is a female-dominated cultural system. In recent years, it has been advocating the elimination of the constraints of clothing on women's bodies, and the increasingly revealing style is also a cultural necessity."

Sigrit is also carefully looking at all kinds of goods, but her deep eyes don't look like a girl shopping for new clothes at all, but like a pedant who came to study cultural changes.

"Our current body shape is different from the original, so even if we buy it, it will not fit the clothes."

After looking at the delicate dress in her hand for a long time, she put it back. Although the store can help to modify the size, Janna, who usually has all her clothes tailored by the royal family, doesn't even know her own body size.

Looking at the girl's hesitant expression, Higrit naturally understood that she hadn't fully recovered from the shock of the darkness just now.So he leaned over to Janna's ear and whispered a few numbers, which instantly made the girl's face flush again.

"Miss Higrit, you... how do you know?"

"I'll know it just by looking at it."

With the insight of Sigrit's mind, Janna's body data is naturally clear at a glance.The previous lace maid outfit was actually cut by the witch herself.

It can be said that the development is quite good.

"And don't worry, even if there is something you don't like, I can help you modify it. My tailoring skills are not bad."

There was no room for Janna to refuse, so the witch directly handed the dress to the boss to pack it up. The price of three silver talons was considered a luxury for the common people of Dawn City.

"Thank you, Miss Higrit."

The bag was handed over to Janna, but the light texture was heavy in the girl's heart.This kind of shopping with close people to buy clothes is absolutely unimaginable for Her Royal Highness in the past.

"I like it very much, but it's a pity that I don't have many opportunities to wear it."

Janna still had to live as Rhine in public, and such a beautiful dress was just a flashy thing after all.In fact, those favorite princess dresses in the past have already been burned, after all, they can only bring back unnecessary painful memories in my heart.

"It's okay, you can wear it for me to see."

Touched by a gentle smile, the witch's seemingly free-spirited answer was always like a soft feather falling on the girl's most sensitive heart, a little itchy, a little helpless, and a little uncontrollable restlessness.

"……Yes."

Chapter 45 The Taste of Donuts

Pass through the long and narrow West Street to the more lively Qinglu Street, and you can smell the fragrance from a long distance away.There are all kinds of eye-catching signboards on both sides of the road, all of which are competing to promote their own food and spirits.

The reason why it is called Qinglu Street is because there is a well-known monster called Qinglu living in the forest in the north of Ota.

The reason why it is famous is not because of its combat effectiveness. On the contrary, for them whose hunting level has only reached the graystone level, even old hunters who don't know magic can hunt alone with experience.

The real reason why Qinglu is famous is its delicious and tender meat, which is full of praise even for the pickiest foodies.Most of the restaurants in Midtown are famous for their secret venison dishes, and after a long time they have been dubbed Qinglu Street by people.

"This old Tom's venison stewed in red wine is really good. I feel that he is better than the chefs in the palace."

Sitting on a bench near the road, Jana touched her round belly, but her eyes were fixed on the witch's face. The feeling of happiness that her stomach and heart were full at the same time made her squint her eyes.

"Actually, the quality of the meat is not particularly fresh. It will take three days at the fastest to transport it from the northern forest to Dawn City, but the price is still fair."

The price of the first-class set meal of three silver talons is quite a bargain for nobles, relatively wealthy businessmen, and mercenaries. Commoners occasionally buy some cheap venison with poor quality.

And even smoked green venison jerky, it is said that as long as it is sold to a mega city like Holy City and Shermarne, it can earn several times the profit.

"So do you want to eat this?"

Seeing Janna's cat-like lazy posture, the witch chuckled and shook the paper box in her hand, and the two freshly baked donuts inside also made happy noises.

"After all, if you eat it now, you can guarantee the best taste."

After all, the proverb says that a maiden's dessert goes into another stomach.For Janna, who wants to relive her life as a girl, this is naturally an indispensable experience.

"Then you choose first, I can eat any flavor."

The girl's eyes flickered back and forth between the white cream and the dark brown chocolate, but suddenly raised her head to look into the eyes of the witch.

"Miss Higrit... can we eat half of two servings?"

The seemingly inadvertent proposal ignited the girl's great courage, and the calm eyes seemed more reserved than the stammering voice.

"of course can."

The chuckling eyes deliberately ignored the faint hope in the girl's eyes. Higrit pretended to reach out to break the donuts, but when the girl's expression just hid her disappointment, she handed the sweet cream to Jia Na's lips.

"It's too easy to break apart, so just eat half of it and exchange it."

"Yes."

Janna lowered her head and didn't dare to touch the witch's eyes again. She immediately understood that she had been seen through again, and while she sipped the delicious food, she also complained in her heart that the witch was always playing tricks on her.

"Why do you eat desserts so fast?"

When Janna came back to her senses, she saw Higrit staring at her quietly, and half of the donut in her hand had disappeared neatly at some point.

"I've tried my best to restrain myself. Doesn't Janna usually eat very fast?"

The two are indeed very consistent in their habit of eating efficiently, but there seems to be a slight deviation at this moment.

"...it's different now."

Taking half of the chocolate ring from the witch's hand, looking at the faint imprint on the even edge, Janna's heartbeat sped up a bit, but her movements became slower and she slowly brought her cherry lips together.

"So how does chocolate taste?"

Seeing the witch's gaze drifting over, the girl's white teeth hurriedly bit off the soft touch, the high concentration of cocoa flavor melted into the tip of the tongue, and the bitterness felt sweeter than cream.
