Evetrona's old stories

The old man bowed to them, and behind him, more people followed him and bowed down.

Eve looked at Erinde who was on the side, and she asked her opinion with her eyes.Erinde whispered a few words in her ear, so Eve said to everyone: "Please rest assured, the dean will help."

The townspeople were relieved.The two continued to walk forward, and they made a way for them—the townspeople stood on both sides of the road, like a group of believers, watching the two "God Envoys" leave.

Eve and Erinde walked up to Tigonesh under the watchful eyes of the crowd. Looking at the tall beast, Eve realized a problem—she asked Erinde: "How...how can we get up there?" ?”

"Solana usually takes it outside the city, and then uses a magic to jump on its back." Erinde replied.

But Eve didn't want to go that far. She visually measured the height of the saddle and said to Erinde, "I think I can try it."

"Try what?" Erinde took the stack of papers she handed over.

Eve didn't answer again.She jumped up on the spot, hooked Tigonesh's neck strap with one hand, and then climbed onto the edge of the saddle with the other—just like that, she used the strength of her arms like a feather He straddled Tigonish's back as lightly as he could.

Eve was quite proud, because the nearby townspeople were all looking at her in surprise, and Erinde who was nearby also raised her neck—like those townspeople, she was so startled that she could barely close her mouth.

What's the matter, Eve thought, the second floor of the college apartment is also three and a half meters high, can't she easily climb over it?

Xilinya and Mara lived on the second floor of the same apartment as Eve. Sometimes Eve came back too late. In order not to disturb the administrator, Ms. Rojeka, she came up with an idea—climbing up the wall of the second floor with her bare hands, and sitting on the window sill to knock on the window of Xilinya’s bedroom. If Xilinya was not there, then she would knock on Mara’s.The two girls were quite frightened at first, after all, few people would encounter such a thing in the middle of the night, but later they got used to it.

"I'll pull you up." Eve leaned down and reached out her hand to Erinde.

"Farewell, I can't reach it." Erinde looked at her, and then looked behind her—there were so many people watching, she didn't want to jump around in front of these people.

Eve was a little troubled, but luckily the "Great Emperor" understood Erinde's words. It slowly lowered its front hooves and lowered its body so that Eve could grab the girl's hand and pull her onto the saddle easily.

Tigonish walked out of the streets of the town. Taking this opportunity, Eve flipped through the notes of the townspeople.She found that almost all of the 20 or so pages on top of the stack were written with requests, while the notes placed at the back were similar to "wishing" content, such as: wishing family and friends good health, wishing to marry a girl she likes, or praying for abundant rain in the coming year...

"This practice has been around since Aniye's time," Erinde said.

Eve sighed a little.She was thinking: Back then, how much painstaking effort did this senior spend to bring about such an earth-shaking change in the image of the witch—from a alien and monster that everyone despised to a god in the hearts of the locals.

When returning to Qingshui Castle, Tigonish obviously took a long detour. It seemed that the two girls on its back were more talkative than its owner Solana, so it thought about staying outside for a while.Therefore, Eve was able to appreciate the scenery of the archipelago in all directions—either in the air, or in the valley, or on the sea surface and other places, and after Tigonish consumed its completely excess energy, the time was already approaching evening.

After the two returned to Clearwater Castle and returned Tigonish to the trainer, they went to Sigourney's residence again in order to hand over the notes from the townspeople of East Town to her.

But at the gate of Sigourney's residence, Eve unexpectedly saw her follower——Yuqie was also here.

"You're back." Yuqie greeted her with a smile, "I thought you were going to leave me alone."

Eve noticed that he was using the honorific title again for himself.

"No, I just went out to deliver a letter." Eve replied.

There were quite a few people standing in the open space of the courtyard, besides Yuqie and Sigourney, there were also the college teacher Lelier who had guided Eve, Isabeau the ferryman in black, and the first person who had just returned to the settlement. The leader of the five generations, Delize.

At this moment, Delize's face was a little red.

Eve cast a questioning look at Sigourney, but Sigourney just looked at her with a half-smile.

So, Eve had no choice but to ask Yuqie, "Why did you come here?"

"It's almost time for us to return, but I heard that you seem to have other plans, so I thought you might need me right now."

"That's not what you said just now." Lelier exposed his shortcoming, "You said that there is a letter to be delivered to the dean personally, where is the letter?"

"The letter is fake." Yuqie admitted frankly, "I lied to you."

Le Lier's complexion was a bit ugly, she held back her annoyance and said, "Since you're fine, let's go back, people have already seen it, haven't they?"

"Maybe you don't need to go back." Yuqie smiled apologetically at her, and then said to Sigourney: "Master Dean, you have been silent all this time, you must have recognized the sword hanging on my waist."

"Although the letter is fake, the sword is real." Sigourney nodded, "But why didn't you tell Lelier before?"

"My lord, even if Lelier is convinced of the origin of this sword, she still needs to report to you and obtain your consent, but I can't wait that long, after all, 'one step slower is ten thousand steps slower'... If there is any offence, I hope you can forgive me."

"Why can't I understand what you are talking about?" Not only Lelier, but others were also confused.

"Yuche Erlo——is a person recognized by Princess Yewenli, and he holds Aniye's saber." Sigourney said to the rest of the people.

From her tone, Eve could vaguely hear some appreciation.

"There really is such a thing?" Lelier didn't want to believe it.

Not only her, but even Eve never heard Yuqie mention the origin of the sword.

Eve looked at the Elflander again, as if she had just met him - she felt a little bit disappointed in her heart - the ex-professional bandit leader was close to her on the surface, but it seemed that there was something hidden in him. Quite a few secrets.

"The eldest princess once asked me to stay with Eve so that I could help her a little when she needs it." Yuqie's words were always very strict.

"So - she's here with us, what can you do to help?" Lelier asked.

"Master Dean, may I ask—" Yuqie didn't answer Lelier's question, instead he asked Sigourney, "Do your elf friends also welcome a visit from Ban Xuemo?"

"They welcome any race to visit, as long as you wear clothes embroidered with gold leaves." Sigourney replied, "And the 'gold thread' is so rare, that's why this qualification is extremely precious."

In fact, whether Yuqie could go to the elf land with the witches might just be a matter of Sigourney's words, but Sigourney's answer made people wonder her attitude.

"If you let him go, you will feel at ease. Yuqie has a lot of travel experience, and survival in the wild is also his strong point." Eve said.

"Well... What Eve said is indeed my concern." Sigourney nodded, "Then let him go." She said it very casually.

No one expected that the dean would agree so happily.

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

Eve’s life in the Witch’s Colony can be said to be colorful, and Yuqie is actually not idle at the Magic Academy. He can speak many languages, such as Hatan, Krikin, Lomingo, and Mord. Sa, Ketili... Almost all the students from the northern and eastern parts of Yuchi can converse with him fluently, and when communicating with students from the southern countries, he can also use the academic language ancient Franto He can't speak the Elfran language—ashamed to say, Yuqie is from Elvran, but he can't speak the Elfran language alone.

For the students in the academy—a group of teenagers, this handsome man with extensive experience, good conversation skills and high martial arts skills is just the kind of person who can influence them to the greatest extent.The witch teachers in Qingshui Castle didn't understand and couldn't understand where the young students' impetuous temperament originated. Therefore, they could only use their authoritative status and powerful magic to suppress their characters, so that they could barely focus on learning magic.

And these sons and young masters with extraordinary backgrounds, some of them have already tasted the taste of the forbidden fruit long before coming here, and they even talk about their taste in women like adults—violence and love are always the most popular topics at their age.

The appearance of Yuqie calmed down this group of impetuous young people—this man claimed to be a member of Zhanlongyuan, and the two princes from Luoming also confirmed this. Yes, the two youngest sons of Hashielep and Ernelin were also here, so they naturally knew Yuqie—and this may not be a coincidence.

Yuqie looked thin and tender at first glance, but there were countless knife wounds and whip marks hidden under the hem of his clothes. If he deliberately showed a fierce look, no one would suspect that he had killed many people.Before leaving Luomingo, Wenzina asked him to do two things, and after intentional or unintentional publicity, now that people are talking about the name Yuqie, it sounds like it has a certain legendary color.The reunion of Luo Ming's little princes here with him can make them transform themselves and become the object of conversation among the students. When the students asked them to tell about the knight's deeds, they subconsciously told them what they knew, and they were naturally proud of what he did.

Almost all of Yuqie's knowledge comes from practice. For a group of half-grown children who look forward to him, his words are very convincing or have reference value.

Based on this impression, Yuqie was very popular with the students, but he did not take the opportunity to incite them to rebel against the teacher, but took the initiative to help maintain the order of the college - he advised the students not to waste their good time; he said that the most important years are now for the future achievements.Although the teachers are saying the same thing, the students are only willing to listen to Yuqie—because he is stronger and understands them better. He is an experienced person who knows what a teenager cares about most and what he wants to hear most.

Yuqie is deeply loved by the students, but this does not prevent him from winning the favor of the teachers.On the day of Tyrian's death, the teachers all evacuated the college and went to the mountain settlement to mourn the dead, and when they returned two days later, they found that the students were still orderly and unsupervised. Learning, this not only deepened their affection for Yuqie.

He knew that Eve didn't take him up the mountain because he respected Qingshui Castle and didn't want to break the rules here; but in order to play the role of a guardian knight well, he thought he should do something—heroes must be useful The place of martial arts, so he had to find a way to get back to Eve.

When Erlogin handed Andwena's envelope to Eve, he clearly saw the style of the envelope and the texture of the sealant, so he decided to make a fuss about it.Regardless of the relationship between Andwena and Sigourney—one was originally the curse knight of Sheng Fengyue, and now he is the chairman of the Klicking Institute of Magic; the other is the founder of Klicking, the manager of Qingshui Castle and the Lakeside Magic Academy—the two are both giants in magic research. Yuqie believes that they must have relatively close correspondence.As long as you know the above information, it may not be difficult to forge a letter and use words to deceive a group of witches - it is naturally difficult to distinguish between true and false.

It took him two days to collect some materials for making sealing paint and envelopes from the students, and he stole some paints and a small crucible from the teacher's office. With his superb knife skills, he used the sharp wooden handle to carve out a wooden mold. The mold was polished and infiltrated with turpentine.Using this mold, he copied the wax seal almost exactly, and after some minor modifications, he successfully forged an "important letter" that was difficult to distinguish between true and false.

In those few days, the leader Delize was sent down the mountain by Sigourney. She was temporarily staying in the teacher's apartment of the college, and Yuqie noticed her very keenly.

Delize would go to a large forest on the west side of the island every afternoon, and stay with a group of Chinia white deer that lived there.

As the name suggests, the Chenia white deer has white fur and looks similar to a spotted deer. Because the hair on their backs can reflect faint colorful markings in the sun, coupled with their timid and shy habits, they are also called "elf deer".

Yuqie hid in the dark and observed, and he found that the girl was actually talking to a deer—it was a "talk", not a one-sided confession, and Yuqie was sure of this.

The little girl seemed to be hoping for help from the herd of deer, relying on their foot strength to go to a place far away from here, perhaps because the conditions offered were not attractive, so she has not been able to persuade the head deer.

In the evening two days later, Yuqie saw that Delize had made no progress in the conversation, so he stopped her on the way back to the apartment.

"If you want to ask them for help, you can't promise them with what they already have. You should think from their perspective and guess what they need."

Delize was frightened by the man who jumped out suddenly, and she didn't realize what the man said until Yuqie repeated her words again.

"What do you think... what do they need?" Delize didn't know the identity of the other party, but she didn't run away on the spot - she was more concerned about whether she could complete the task assigned by the dean.

"What does a herd of deer need - sorry, forgive me for eavesdropping on your conversation - they seem happy with where they are, and the deer you're talking to is the smartest deer I've ever met... …There are no natural enemies here, but the forest is still lush and green, which shows that they know how to maintain a comfortable living environment by controlling their own numbers.”

"The deer you speak of is called 'Laffer'."

"Thank you for the reminder." Yuqie continued, "You don't have to emphasize to them who this forest is blessed by, who stored the water in the lake, you just need to tell them—in order to grow more food, this forest may be cut down and burned in the next few years."

"No... please don't do this, we have no such plan!" Delize turned pale with fright at his words, she seemed to be more anxious than the deer when she heard such words.

"But you can say this to them." Yuqie laughed, "For a group of wealthy people, depriving them of what they already have is much more useful than blind promises. Deer are just like people—that's why you want to threaten them."

"No, I can't tell such a lie..." Delize shook her head.

"But if you don't tell them, they will never help." Yuqie asked her, "So, where are you going? Did the dean send you here? After all, is it related to the 'that incident' that happened a few days ago?" When Yuqie said this, there was a trace of sympathy in his eyes, but in fact he didn't know what the "that incident" he was talking about was.

"Well, it is indeed because of Tyrian..." Delize sighed, "Maybe we are going to the Elven Land."

"That's right, Mr. Dean's arrangement is also good for you." Yuqie nodded, "She must want to use this opportunity to train you... Are you all going to the fifth generation? Will the newcomer follow?"

"Well, Eve probably wants to go too." Delize said, "Although the dean didn't say it explicitly, I guess she will go too."

"What about the escorts?"

"Huh?" Delize looked at him suspiciously.

"And they go on deer too?"

"I don't know either. The dean only said that at least ten deer should be prepared."

"Oh, you probably have to ride a horse, maybe it's because riding a deer is safer for you... You probably don't know how to ride a horse yet? ——Except for Eve."

"That's right." Delize looked at him, "By the way... May I ask who you are?"

"You still don't know me?" Yuqie pretended to be surprised, and then said with a smile: "Then you have to be vigilant, maybe I'm a bad person."

"You know us well and don't look like a bad guy."

"Actually, I don't know that much. These are all told to me by Lelier." ——In fact, Lelier never told Yuqie about the things on the mountain.Yuqie continued, "I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet—my name is Halshid, and I'm here to deliver a letter from the Institute, and that Eve Harvein is also the one I've never been Ben Longbao brought her here, because she didn't know the way, so Olekin asked me to take her... Do you know Olekin?"

Delize nodded, "Yes, he is old Andwena's apprentice."

"Then... what's your name? Perhaps Ologin mentioned you to me."

"My name is Delize. That—— I don't know Olukin well, and he might not know me."

"That's it..." Yuqie was stunned.

Delize seemed to have completely trusted the man in front of her, she asked him: "What you just said...will it really work?"

"About the deer herd?" Yuqie said, "Actually, I'm not sure. After all, I haven't been here many times and I don't know the situation here. You also know that Axiandong sent Andwena's letters, but this time he was really busy, so he pushed this hard work to me... If you can talk about the situation here in detail, maybe we can think of some other ways."

"What do you want to know?" Delize asked.

"This is..."

So, Yuqie asked her a lot of questions about Qingshui Castle, but Deliz didn't doubt him, almost asking and answering.

The two sat on the side of the road and talked until it was dark before thinking about the return trip. Yuqie got a lot of useful information, and before parting, he said to Delize: "For the head deer Laffer, it may be a painful thing to suppress his own nature, but it has to do so due to the constraints of the environment. There are about [-] white deer in this forest. You can completely persuade them to separate out and develop elsewhere—for example, near the elf land."

"But the elf land is not necessarily better than here, is it?"

"Of course, the environment here is unique. The most important thing is... there are no natural enemies, but not necessarily near the elf land."

"Then why would they agree?"

"Elf land is a symbol of harmony, nature and life. Animals are attracted to such places, but it is closed and not easy to open to outsiders. You can explain this to Laffer—the opportunity is rare, and they still have a choice. If that place is their ideal habitat, then they will stay; if not, they will come back with you."

"It sounds like you can try..." Delize nodded.

"They should agree. Deer herds have the nature of migration." Yuqie said with a smile, "Even if it doesn't work, don't we have a backup plan?"

"That's all." Delize said quickly, "It's too late today, I'll try it early tomorrow morning."

Facts have proved that Yuqie's idea is very effective, and the head deer Laffer agreed-and, it decided to add another forty places on the basis of ten places. These extra compatriots will migrate long distances under the protection of the witch and multiply in another fertile land.

Delize overfulfilled the task, she was very happy about it, and at the same time, she admired the messenger Harsh even more.Through the college's carrier pigeons, Delize reported to Sigourney that the task was completed, and in the afternoon, Sigourney called the fifth generation together and announced the matter about the Elven Land.

The next day, Eve has to go to Easttown to deliver a letter because of a last-minute schedule change.When she and Erinde rode Tigonish all the way and disappeared into the sky, no matter how many preparations Yuqie had made before, he couldn't help but panic at this moment. He hung Aniye's saber on his body and took the forged letter to find Le Lier. At that time, Delize was just about to take Isabeau's boat back to the settlement.

Yuqie lied to Lelier with half-truths and half-false words, saying that the letter was originally intended for Eve to deliver on her behalf, but it was only recently that she found that the letter had been left behind by him. Due to the special nature of the letter, he had to give it to Sigourney "in person" "now".

Yuqie's attitude was firm, and Delize also helped to intercede, which made Lelie, who was still able to think calmly, inexplicably irritable. In this way, she decided to let it go, and with the attitude of being responsible for the matter, she also Followed the three of them up the mountain together.

What happened after that will not be repeated too much.

Eve helped Yuqie, so Sigourney didn't drive Yuqie down the mountain again. He was temporarily arranged to live in a hut near the elevator platform, and he became a neighbor of the courier Ozzie Roach for two days.

"I'm really worried about you." Before parting, Yuqie lowered his voice and whispered to Eve—this time, he didn't use honorifics.

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

That night, Eve, Erinde and Delize returned to the residence together, but in the corridor on the second floor, blankets, sheets and quilts covering the floor blocked their only way back to the bedroom.

"What are you doing?" Erinde's voice was sharp, and her dissatisfaction was palpable.

Rui Diluo walked in front of them, and the thin girl looked at Erinde, then at Eve, and then whispered in Eve's ear.

Eve nodded to her, and then said to Erinde who was watching her all the time: "Rediro said that she wanted to make up for the regret of not being able to spend the night on the mountain that day, so everyone decided to spend the night in the corridor together tonight." .”
