Evetrona's old stories

They were accompanied by two witches from the third generation. They had all been to that strange land, and Sigourney was more at ease with them leading the way.In addition, Rachinana also wanted to go with the fifth generation, but Sigourney firmly disagreed.

Eve noticed that when Sigourney spoke to the fifth generation, she was also looking at herself—she obviously included Eve in this trip.

"I want to go too?" Eve asked the dean.

"You have to go." Sigourney's tone was very affirmative, "You have many secrets about you, and the things you want to know may only be unraveled by nymphs."

"Nymph?" Eve heard this word for the first time.

"You can think of them as the masters of the elf land, the patriarchs of elves and goblins. Few humans in this world have heard or seen Nymphs... They have lived a long time and are great and knowledgeable The creatures... the opportunity is rare, don't you want to meet them?"

"I really want to see you, but the time may not allow it. Nanfen wants me to go back soon..."

Eve is very embarrassed about this - according to Sigourney's statement, this trip will take at least a whole month, which is seriously inconsistent with expectations.

"Eve, do you know how to cherish it?" Sigourney's expression was serious—she was obviously angry.

"Sorry, I should distinguish between priorities." Sometimes Eve can feel how anxious her sloppy temper can be. "Then... I should at least write a letter to tell my family, is there a place where I can send letters?"

When Eve said this, she sighed in her heart again—if she really wanted to send a letter, according to the current communication efficiency, the letter might still be halfway by the time she got home.

"There is a place to post letters, and it is in a nearby town." The one who answered her was Erinde, who was standing aside, and she was still holding Tailian's bone letter in her hand, and she said, "When you finish writing Believe me, I will go with you."

"There are only two days, can we make it in time?" Eve asked.

"Of course." Erinde replied, "Let's ride 'Tigonish' and we will be able to get there soon..."

Eve's diligence and self-discipline are just an appearance, and she knows how lazy she is-whether it is the nymphs in the elf land, the essence of this world, or the many mysteries of herself, she will never forget her. In fact, she is not so eager to get the truth—she even has fear about it, thinking that it will be a day... She is very afraid of losing the life in front of her.But the people around her can't be as patient as she is, watching her waste her talent - there are still many things waiting for her to do in this world, if she doesn't do it, but just live in a daze , then I'm afraid Iftrona herself will be disappointed by this.

［193］Rebirth under withering: the dying innocence·Part [-]

Dear Nanfen:

Thanks to the favor of Sigourney, the founder of the country, your daughter will not be able to come back for a while... That's right, in order to better understand my own situation, I have to go to the place where the elves live. I heard that there It's not too close to Qingshui Castle, maybe I won't be able to go home until the middle of next month... But don't worry, there will be more than a dozen witches accompanying me along the way, so safety is absolutely guaranteed.I heard that the elves live in a strange place, and there may be many things we haven't seen. I was wondering if I could bring back some souvenirs from them, so you can look forward to it...

…………

Because I left in a hurry last month, I didn’t have time to receive a reply. I know that you are probably still worried about the person Wenzina sent, but I can still tell you now: Yuche is indeed a reliable partner. Wenzina is very thoughtful. Not only did Yuche know the way to Qingshui Castle, but he also arrived here earlier than expected... So, I actually came to Qingshui Castle with him. I don’t know if Olekin has mentioned this to you.Yuqie's ability to survive is very strong. I have received a lot of care from him along the way, and I have also learned some practical Luoming languages ​​from him, but I don't know if his pronunciation is authentic, so when I go back, I have to ask you, a local, to help judge...

…………

From the time, I seem to have guessed why you are so anxious to let me go back. Is Ruger and Miriam going to hold a wedding?I don't know if my guess is right.I originally thought that you would at least wait until the beginning of next spring to arrange this matter for them, but I thought that you might have other things to be busy at that time, and it might be better to advance earlier... If it is really because of the wedding, then Don't worry about me, you still have to come according to the plan. After all, many things need to be prepared in advance, and those relatives and friends who come from afar can't wait for long... In addition, you must pay attention to your health. Although I didn't mention it last time, In fact, I already knew it—you are still pregnant, so don’t worry too much, let the servant do the things that can be handed over to the servant, and let Luge do it by himself.

…………

By the time this letter is delivered to the manor, the Ascension Festival must have already passed, so there is no way... We used to spend the holidays together, but there is always a first time in everything. After all, children have to grow up... (In fact, I am still very)? You also know my temper. In front of you, it is really difficult for me to say some words, because I always feel that if you can express your heart through actions, then you don’t need to repeat it verbally... You must agree with this, after all, you have always been like this.Having said that, we haven't seen each other for a long time now, and I can't show up in front of you to do something right away, so I can only make a second choice and say a few nasty words in this letter: I miss you, and I really want to return to you soon, because only by your side can my heart be completely settled...

So, I will definitely be back as soon as possible.

——Eve, who loves you, written in Qingshui Castle, September 98, [-] of Thorns.

After the ink dried, Eve put three pages of letter paper into an envelope, and went to the west side of the settlement together with Eileen — I had heard for a long time that there were still a few tigonishes that could not be found in the whole feather field, but these days Eve has never had time to come and take a look.

Tigonish is a huge feather-hoofed suborder creature. From the appearance, it has the shape of a moose, but it is taller. There are two big Tigonish in Qingshui Castle, two small and four Tigonish, the largest of which is a stag. Its shoulder height is more than three meters. In addition, it has huge palm-shaped horns and wide silver-gray wings. If it is placed in another world, it may be called the largest creature on land.

Eve raised her head and looked at this giant beast that seemed to only exist in fantasy. She was extremely surprised, just like the feeling she felt when she saw Vogel for the first time—curiosity and a little awe.

"Are we going to ride it?" Eve couldn't help asking when she saw that the witch who was in charge of taming her was putting a saddle on the Tigonish.

"Yes, otherwise, how can we catch up with the time? Let it take us to fly there, and we can go back and forth in less than half a day." Erinde said.

"Fly over?" Eve seemed a little embarrassed, "Is this safe?"

"Why is it not safe?" This time it was the witch on the side who replied.

Now that the professionals have come to a conclusion, Eve no longer expresses any doubts.

After the tamer was ready, the Tigonish named "Emperor" was led to a small independent warehouse. Eve and Erinde were standing on the balcony of the attic window—— There is a small platform outside the window, and it is only at this height that Tigonish can be easily ridden.

"I should really wear that knight outfit." Eve said to Erinde.At this time, the two were still wearing white moth-wing skirts—however, even though they were skirts, the loose-fitting moth-wing skirts were actually not in the way.

"It's not necessary." Erinde pushed Eve, and she asked Eve to sit in front.Tigonish's back is very broad, and Eve estimated that the saddle under her body can accommodate at least three adult men sitting together.The two sat firmly on the "Great Emperor", and Aileende hugged Eve's waist.

Eve turned her head and looked at the girl with a happy face, and the two stared at each other blankly for a while.

"Hey, you want me to ride?" Eve lowered her voice and asked her.

At this time, the trainer had already left.

"Didn't you come here on horseback?" Erinde took it for granted, "I managed to convince Solana so that we could go there in person."

"I know how to ride a horse, but I've never ridden Tigonish..." Eve had a headache, "It's not the same as riding a horse, is it?"

"It doesn't matter, the 'Emperor' is smart." Elinde said, "It can understand some simple words. I heard that even if a person falls from mid-air, it can pick him up without any injuries. to the back."

"What if the two fall together?"

"That's really bad luck." Erinde said, "Let's try it—you just say to it 'Great Emperor, let's go to East Town'. Solana has always said that, I guess it should know the way."

"Okay, then I'll try, you hold it steady first." Eve turned her gaze back to the front, and Tigonish didn't have anything like a rein on her body—Elinde's statement was probably correct.

It was warm under Tigonish's wings, and Eve and Erinde's legs were just surrounded by its arms. It felt like being covered with a thick quilt that had just been covered, and it was even a little hot.

Eve leaned down and clasped the belt on Tigonish's shoulders with both hands. She said to the giant beast, "My lord, take us to East Town?"

Erinde chuckled behind her.

Tigonish shook his huge antlers, and quickly responded. It moved its body and walked slowly towards the outside of the courtyard.

"Thank you, Great Emperor!" Erinde was very excited about this.

Tigonish responded with a low voice, and then silently quickened his pace.

"Come on!" Erinde yelled again.

They rode this giant beast and galloped down the stream in the settlement. The sound of the rumbling deer's hooves attracted all the passing witches to stop and look up, so Erinde greeted them again and again. .

But Eve couldn't be distracted by this. Tigonish was still accelerating, and its running speed was terrifying. In the blink of an eye, it went from the westernmost point of the settlement to the clear pool at the bottom of the stream. A few dumb ducks saw this Tigonish. Just as they had time to flap their wings, the giant beast had already disappeared.

Sitting on Tigonish's back, Eve felt that all her bones were about to be knocked apart, but Erinde was so excited, she yelled and kept laughing behind her.

The cliff was close in sight, and the fence blocked this dangerous area. Tigonish didn't hesitate. He stepped straight into the stream, like a red-hot iron ball, and the water splashed everywhere with his hoof, making the stream almost boil.Its speed was not hindered by the water flow, and it rushed to the end of the cliff like a shell. Eve's eyes widened, even though the hem of her clothes was splashed by the stream, she did not dare to be distracted in the slightest.At this moment, she only felt that the blood in her whole body seemed to be flowing backwards, and her heart was pounding. She could only see the undulating antlers in front of her, and the blurred nearby scenery.

Tigonish lowered her figure, and Eve couldn't help holding her breath. The silver-gray wings slowly opened and swayed slightly, accumulating strong winds.

"Quick, chant the spell—" Erinde reminded, resting her chin on her back.

"What spell?" Eve was so nervous that her arms froze.

"I taught you when I came here just now, you won't forget it so quickly, will you?"

"I remember..."

Eve chanted a spell, and a light barrier enveloped the two of them, isolating the strong wind that made it hard to breathe.

Finally, Tigonish jumped off the cliff, spread its huge wings, and glides towards the lake.

With the momentary stagnation during takeoff, the two of them were almost pressed against Tigonish's back by inertia, and as it glides towards the lake, Eve finally felt unprecedented stability.She tightly held the belt around the giant beast's neck to prevent it from falling out of the saddle. Tigonish's body was descending and getting closer to the lake. As a result, the magic circle of Qingshui Castle was activated, and the thick fog that covered the sky slowly enveloped them.

Eve was very worried that Tigonish would crash into the lake, so she patted it on the back and said, "Fly up—"

Tigonish ignored Eve's request, it was still moving through the thick fog, and the speed of its gliding seemed to be a little faster.

"Don't worry, just let it have a good time," Erinde said.

"Have a good time?" Eve didn't quite understand what she meant.

"Solana sometimes takes them out to 'let the wind' and let them play around. It must be very happy now and wants you to see what it can do."

While speaking, the dark gray lake surface suddenly appeared a shadow in the thick gray fog, and Tigonish flapped his wings for the first time at this time.It adjusted its posture, and its torso leaned back slightly. Seeing this, Eve became a little impatient—could it be that it wanted to land directly on the lake?

The surface of the lake seemed to reflect purple arcs, and in the next second, Tigonesh really landed on the surface of the water—it flapped its wings, and its speed did not decrease but increased; its strong four hooves kept kicking on the calm lake water, The water splashed several meters high. If you observe carefully, you can find that every step it takes can cause a cluster of fine thunder to appear on the water surface.Eve really didn't expect that it could also use magic, and even use it to run across the lake.

"There are devices with tattoos engraved on its legs. Solana has spent a lot of effort to make them learn to use magic."

"But it can't read spells, how did it use the print barrier on the water?"

"Then I don't know. Solana has used many methods. Maybe it was a coincidence... After all, not one of the four Tigonish can use magic."

Tigonish shuttled through the fog, stepping on the lake as if walking on flat ground, several times faster than Isabeau rowing a boat with spells, so it didn't take long for them to rush out of the dense fog and get closer to the other side of the lake.

The sunlight finally broke through the heavy fog, and Eve couldn't help but let out a gasp in amazement at the sudden widening of vision.The beast waded across the lake and headed for land, and they galloped along the village lanes, kicking up clouds of dust over the brown fields.

This time, Tigonish ran very smoothly. Maybe the crazy running it showed when it was in the settlement just now was just to tease people.Eve thought to herself, Elinde probably also had such a beast hidden in her heart, otherwise, how could she laugh heartily during such a thrilling run?

In the blink of an eye, Tigonish had crossed half of the island, and there was a golden forest ahead. Eve still remembered that she and Yuqie got on the island from there a few days ago.Tigonish made a small turn here, finally stepped on a huge raised rock, and jumped high into the air—it vibrated its wings vigorously, and flew towards the sea.

The wind from the ocean is as majestic as its waves. Riding on this wind, Tigonish climbed to the height of the clouds almost instantly.It glides like an eagle, controlling the high-altitude air currents; it circles a few times, then tilts one wing, and heads towards the land—Clear Water Fort is at their feet at this time, and the scenery of the archipelago is unobstructed.And it was different from the feeling when sitting on top of Vegmanning's head - the proto-dragon flew too steadily, no matter how fast it was, it was not as exciting as flying up and down like this. Tigonish's body was full of strength and wildness. For them, there seemed to be nothing that could be called an obstacle.Eve always felt that if she didn't pay attention, she might be thrown off by this forgetful beast, so she lowered her body and leaned on Tigonish's back as much as possible.

Tigonish is good at running, but the mountains and rivers are obstacles after all, so they grow wings in order to be able to go to more places.They have huge bodies, and flying is more like icing on the cake for them, and their ability to fly is itself a miracle.Tigonesh's wings are not as durable as their limbs. When they look down on the earth in the air, they have already begun to plan the landing place and running route-when they fly into the sky, it seems that they are just to run further.

This stag named Great Emperor has almost the original characteristics of all male creatures. It is energetic, arrogant, and aggressive-it travels through the mountains and forests, breaking off the branches that block the way; Walking in the wilderness, it raises large swathes of turf and dust; it chases falcons and tramples them all under its feet; it preys on swimming fish and swallows them in one bite.The girls seemed to have adapted to its pace. They hid under the folded wings of Tigonesh, and let it rampage and wreak havoc in this desolate land. The male blood is also pumped into the body of the weak, so that they can forget the worldly rules for a while, and only then become one with pure power.

［194］Rebirth under withering: the innocence of the dying Part [-]

Finally, Tigonish landed on the outskirts of "East Town" and entered the city under the almost admiring eyes of the townspeople.In fact, in this town about a hundred kilometers away from Qingshui Castle, no one knew exactly where these witches who occasionally visited came from—they were graceful and beautiful, and people only heard that they came from a place called Qingshui Castle.

Soon, the townspeople were all gathered together, and they followed Tigonish's tail silently until the two got off their saddles and walked into a - and the only one in the town - business That's when they stopped.

This office is where Elinde mentioned earlier to deliver the letter.East Town is located on the southern border, and is different from the more developed commercial and communication systems in the central or northern parts of Klikin. To send letters from here to the capital, local agents are needed to help.The agent of the firm is a shrewd person, he has dealt with Qingshui Castle a lot - in normal times, if the witch of Qingshui Castle and the local noble students want to send some personal or unimportant letters, they can Leave it to him to handle.

"Send a letter to Mengcheng, can you?" When Erinde spoke, the agent was smoking a cigarette in a daze.

"Of course, what kind of letter do you want to send?" The man cheered up.

Eve put the envelope in front of him, "This one, how long will it take to deliver?"

The other party first looked at the envelope on the table, and then noticed Eve herself.So, the agent stared at her blankly for a while, and then realized that he hadn't answered the other party's question, "Oh, I'm sorry...it will take about two or three months at the fastest to deliver the letter from here to Feimeng." .”

Eve seemed a little disappointed, and she asked again: "Is it possible for a month?"

"It's unlikely, unless our courier can get a good horse - it will take him almost a month to go to the station in the east, and it will also take about 20 days to get from our station to Bomeng."

After hearing the other party's explanation, Eve pressed the envelope with her hands, feeling a little hesitant in her heart. She didn't know if it was necessary to send this letter.

"Besides, couriers usually go out at the end of a single month, so it may take half a month for your letter to go on the road."

"Will the extra payment get him to go right away?"

"It is indeed feasible. If you are really in a hurry, you can pay him a dozen more silver coins to let him set off immediately, do you think?"

The price of a dozen silver coins is very expensive.You know, Eve once sent out two novel manuscripts, and the combined postage for these two stacks of thick paper only cost her half a silver coin.

"That's not a problem. What I want to say is..." Eve bent down and asked him in a low voice, "What if I add more money? How much more money can I make him go faster?"

The agent smiled wryly, "I'm afraid it's not easy to handle..."

What he thought in his heart was that if the two girls could ride Tigonish to the station to post them in person, maybe five or six days would be enough.

"However, sometimes there are travelers from other places. If they drop by, they can be entrusted with the task of delivering the letter. Of course, this depends on luck—only when luck is good, you can meet such one or two. They are generally riding good horses, and some of them are rich and may be riding other things, so they must be faster than the messenger... But there is also a premise - as long as they don't get lost, that's fine."

"What do you suggest?"

"I think——if you don't need money, maybe you can send two letters, one to the courier, just for safety, and the other letter to me first. If you can meet a traveler within a week, I will entrust this traveler to deliver the second letter. You leave some money with me, and I will help you negotiate the price of the two parties. When you come again next time, I will return the remaining money to you—if there is any left." The agent continued, "Generally speaking, travelers will deliver the letter as soon as possible. But it is not guaranteed that the letter will be lost due to unexpected circumstances, please forgive me for that... In addition, I can write the second letter for you, and we can talk about the cost later."

"How much money is appropriate to keep?"

"That depends on what price you can accept."

Eve nodded, took out two gold coins from the bookcase at her waist, and placed them on the table.

"You..." The agent seemed to have a new understanding of her generosity. In this day and age, what kind of person can pay two gold for sending a letter?He stood up from behind the desk, and said half-jokingly, "I have a new idea now: you may be able to add a little more money to buy a good horse for our messenger—really, it doesn't cost so much, maybe fifty silver is enough."

"Then I'll leave a piece of gold first." Eve said, "Do you have a pen and paper? I want to write it myself..."

Hearing the two of them discussing the price, Erinde was really speechless.She has been living in Qingshui Castle, and money is still a very mysterious thing to her at the age of 16. The lavish posture shown by Eve and the cautious appearance of the agent at this time made the girl feel a unique and subtle atmosphere-this is the unique, somewhat vulgar sense of pleasure in Tongqi.

After Eve copied the letter and agreed on the price, she left the office with Eileen.

"When you come next time, don't forget to get the money and the receipt from him." Before leaving, Eve said to Erinde—in fact, she was also talking to the agent.

Maybe when Erinde comes back next time, Eve is already on her way back, so she wants Erinde to collect the small money on her behalf—as for what Erinde can do with the money, Eve has no idea. After thinking about it, she just simply felt that she couldn't take advantage of the agent. If the other party deliberately deducted money in order to earn more commissions, then the messenger and the traveler might not care about their work.Although this agent has a long-term cooperative relationship with the witches and is unlikely to do anything out of the ordinary, the test from money has always been the most severe test.

When they went out again, they found that the townspeople had surrounded the office, which really shocked Eve.

They wanted something--Eve realized it the next moment. She had seen the same eyes many times during her trip to the north as a knight of Mount Shengfeng.

An old man came out from the crowd, holding a stack of papers of different sizes and colors in his hands, and he handed the papers to Eve who was walking in front.

The stack of papers is actually not that thick, and Eve glanced at the topmost page, which read:

Siqi Li, 6 years old, coughs and wheezes, needs some relief tincture (the last time, in August), please help her!

It looked like a medical bill.
