Evetrona's old stories

"Is it delicious?" the girl asked.

Eve didn't hear clearly at first, so the other party asked again.

"I haven't tried it, but he seems to like it." Eve replied.In fact, Eve was still a little afraid of the girl, and she was cautious when speaking—after all, the other party didn't change his face after killing several people, and he almost died in her hands.

"It will probably be delicious, after all, there is a lot of meat in it." The girl took out a few biscuits from the jar, broke them and fed them to the cat in her arms. She glanced at Eve with a subtle expression, "But he Surely you didn’t find out what kind of meat was in it, right?”

"What kind of meat?" Eve's face was a little unhappy.

"The meat is so precious in the wild mountains here, but no one wants to eat it. What kind of meat do you think it is?" the girl asked with a smile.

"Could it be a human..."

"It's wolf meat." The girl said, "The taste of wolf meat is not good. After taking the tenderloin and blood, the rest will belong to Alben."

Hearing what she said, Eve was finally relieved, and then realized that she had been teased by the other party just now.

"Do you think the bandit den is a place to eat people?" The girl put the pet cat on the chair and walked up to Eve, "Or is that how you propagate it internally?"

Eve shook her head.

The girl looked into Eve's eyes and said, "I can see that you are a little afraid of me. Is it because I killed people in front of you? Your friend who eats cat food may have killed many people too."

"Not exactly." Eve said, "The word 'killing' sounds harsh, so let's not discuss it for now. It's important to do business, change your clothes first?"

The girl smiled and nodded, she took a few steps back, and began to take off the tights in front of Eve.

"You seem to be a little shrewd." The girl said, "I thought that you rushed forward like them, and you must be in a hurry to die. I didn't expect you to save a hand. The last trick you used What is it? Is it a trigger-type magic, or a prop or something? But you acted like one at the time, and I really thought I was going to get it."

The girl was indeed wearing nothing but tights and shoes.In order to hide her embarrassment, Eve hugged the pet cat in her arms, pretending to be teasing the cat.

The girl was naked, walked up to Eve, and picked up the clothes Eve brought from the table.A book fell out of it. The girl picked up the book and glanced at it, then threw it back on the table without saying anything.Eve kept her head down and didn't see her expression.

The sound of getting dressed rustled in her ears.

"You... are you a boy?" The girl suddenly asked, "I heard them mention... your name is Eve, right? I always feel that your behavior is a bit abnormal. They asked you to watch me here, but if you don't even look at me, aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to escape?"

Eve raised her head. At this time, the girl had finished dressing, and the matching of the skirt and jacket looked quite formal.

"It has nothing to do with being a man or a woman. It's not polite to look at other people's bodies. That's how my tutor was taught," Eve said.

"Really." The girl was originally shorter than Eve, but after wearing the boots, she was a bit taller than her. She leaned forward slightly, and her face was close to Eve, not knowing what she wanted to do.

"Ologin!" Eve took a step back in a panic, and shouted in the direction of the door.

Olugin, Poncef, and Marco almost rushed in together, knocking the door loudly. They thought there was an emergency in the house.Eve didn't notice the surprised gazes of the three of them at this time. She walked out of the room and said only one sentence: "Everything is done, I should go."

Marco was the first to come to his senses, and he quickly chased after him.

The girl picked up the tights from the ground, stacked them neatly on the table, and sat quietly on the chair without any movement.Rulukin did not expect her to cooperate like this.

The two men walked to the table, besides the dress, the poetry collection next to it also caught their attention.

"What is this?" Ponsev picked up the book, opened it and flipped through it for a while, his expression changed from curiosity to disappointment.

"Eve may have brought this book here because she was afraid that I would be bored," the girl said.When she called Eve's name, her tone was very kind, as if the two were friends from the beginning.

"She took it?" Olukin was a little puzzled.

The girl nodded, "That's right, but I don't really like this book very much, you can throw it into the fire now and burn it."

Only in a poetic and leisurely environment can she calm down and enjoy the scenery in the text - I am afraid that she will never have the opportunity again in the future.

Olukin looked at her with scrutiny in his eyes.

"That's not necessary, can you give me this book?"

"Of course, you can keep it." The girl sat on the chair and smiled politely at him, "Actually, I'm really a little... scared right now."

"Afraid of what?" asked Olykin.

"I don't know how you will deal with me in the end...will you be sent to prison?"

"We don't know much about this matter, but don't worry too much, the court will handle it as appropriate. What's your name? How old is this year?"

"Lenosha, fifteen years old." The girl replied.

"15 years old..." Olukin nodded, "You probably have another name and surname, what is it?"

The girl looked at her without answering.

"Your ability will never be realized by yourself." Ponsev said, "You still have a name that belongs to a witch, right?"

"Can I not say it?" The girl was a little embarrassed.

"Your witch teacher treats you like your own daughter, and taught you a lot of things. Of course you don't want to say it. But I still want to remind you that it may be this witch and another unlicensed alchemist who have ruined your family. They are just using you. Those two people probably expected that things would develop to this point."

"It was you who broke in here and killed many people—not them." The girl's tone was calm.

"That's because you have come into contact with things you shouldn't be in contact with. Without them, you might not necessarily end up where you are now," said Ologin.

The girl looked at him, her eyes dimmed for a moment, and she finally said another name of herself: "Mulane Centegal, this is the name she gave me."

Erlogin and Ponsev looked at each other in blank dismay, they were very unfamiliar with this surname.

"Aren't you lying to us?" Poncef asked.

The girl shook her head.

"Perhaps he is not a member of our system like Ordon." Olugin sighed, "Mulane... the name is very appropriate. Can you describe the appearance of this Ms. Centegore?"

"She—" just as the girl was about to answer, she heard a knock on the door, and the conversation had to be interrupted.

In came a knight.

"Excuse me for disturbing the two gentlemen. Our head has an order to take this lady away immediately."

Ologin noticed what he called the girl.

"I'm afraid it's not time yet." Ponsev glanced at his watch, "Didn't we discuss it before? Come back in two hours—there are still some things I haven't asked clearly."

The knight stood there without moving or speaking.

"Is there something unexpected?" Ologin asked.

"There are indeed some unplanned situations, and I ask for your understanding."

"Can we go and see?"

"I don't know, sir."

"Okay, it seems that I have to ask Hollyn himself." Both Ologin and Ponsev stood up, picked up the things on the table, and left the kitchen with the knight escorting the girl.

[103] Winter Wind (21 of [-])

"This matter is in charge of Shanks—basically once or twice a month, someone from outside will deliver things to their agreed place, and Shanks will bring them back by himself. But it should not be delivered by someone else, I heard that Lennosha's things were purchased according to her requirements." The informant answered Eve's question seriously, "After Lunosha came back, she became calmer and more beautiful. Shanks' wife—that is, Lennosha's sister, had quarreled with Shanks several times, and after she was slapped by the old leader, she never mentioned it again."

"Don't you think this is a little weird?" Eve asked him.

"It may be a bit weird, but it's not unexpected..." The informant shrugged. "The old leader is indeed a helper and not a relative. It may also be that he prefers another granddaughter——Lenuosha has been raised like a princess since she became a witch."

"When did Lunosha become a witch? Has she changed much from before?"

"About three or four years ago, she was sent back by a carriage in the middle of the night. I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I heard it from others. After she came back, she really changed a lot. She used to have blond hair, but now it's all white. Although she was beautiful before, she has a cheerful personality and doesn't look cold like she does now. She lives in the tower over there. She doesn't come out most of the time. Even if she does, she just walks around the cliff."

"Are you sure she is still the same person? Is it possible that she has changed?"

"That's not the case. Although her appearance has changed, it's not to the point where she's completely unrecognizable."

"Did that alchemist have contact with her?"

"No." The informant shook his head with certainty, "Al Dong lives in the basement, far away from her place. It is impossible for these two people to communicate and interact."

"Why not?"

"Aldon is crippled, with half of one leg missing, and needs crutches to walk. Lenoresa lives so high up, so reclusive—the two of them never even had a chance to meet."

Eve hugged her shoulders, leaning against the wall behind her, lost in thought.

"My lord, can I...can I go now?" the informant asked in a suppressed voice.He had a docile attitude, holding his hands in front of his chest, as if he was holding an invisible treasure.

"Let's go." Marco waved his hand, telling him to leave quickly.

"I always think there is something wrong with Lennosha." After the informant left, Eve turned around and said to Marco.

"I don't know if people have problems, but there must be problems with their brains."

"She's been captured by the Knights now, why isn't she panicking at all?"

"So there is something wrong with my brain." Marco shook his head.

Eve sighed, "I always feel that something is wrong."

"Are you afraid that she will come out to retaliate against you in the future?" Marco rubbed his beard on his chin with his hands, thought for a while, and said to Eve, "How about——I'll ask you about the time of the interrogation, and see how they will deal with this matter?"

"Will they interrogate?"

"Why not? An important prisoner like this will have to be interrogated at least three or four times, and the eight generations of ancestors will have to ask clearly."

"Then go ask."

Marco made a "no problem" gesture and ran away quickly.

Eve is indeed a little anxious now, but she can't explain why she cares so much about Lennosha.

Not long after, Marco ran back, but judging from his expression, it seemed that things were not going well.

"I asked a few people, including our captain." Marco said, "I heard that she was taken away by Captain Huo Lien."

"What do you mean, they are not going to investigate?"

"I heard something, but don't spread it to the outside world—" Marco moved his head closer, "I heard that the head of the group might want to adopt her as a foster daughter."

"Why?" Eve couldn't believe it.

Marco shook his head, "Who knows, we dare not ask."

Eve was very upset.Recalling Huo Lien's bald head, she said maliciously: "Maybe because of her appearance, I want to adopt her as a foster daughter on the bed..."

"Drink! Hey! Huh!" Marco suddenly started to dance, and was still yelling indiscriminately, covering up Eve's voice.

Eve was so frightened by his crazy behavior that she shut her mouth.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, you are a little girl, you know a lot, who did you learn it from..." Marco wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and said, "Are you in a hurry? Who told you not to give her—" He made a gesture of wiping his neck, "It's all right now, leaving only trouble."

"You will have experience next time." Eve said lightly.

Marco choked suddenly.

"Hey, I was joking just now." He said, "If you killed her at that time, you might have to go to court. This is not a joke..."

"I'm just speaking out of anger." Eve said, "I... don't dare to kill people, and I never thought about it."

"Oh." Marco breathed a sigh of relief.

"Marco, what do you say—killing people...how does it feel? I used to go hunting a lot, and I even slaughtered deer with a knife—it was just that one time, the first time I heard a deer bark like that...At that time, I felt like I was in my heart tremble."

"Don't think too much, just get used to it." Marco scratched his cheeks, "It doesn't seem appropriate to say that. But I think it's much easier to kill people than to kill animals."

Eve looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

"Of course, I mean the bad guys, just like the one we met today. This can be regarded as murder by order, punishing rape and eliminating evil. Even if these people didn't bear their lives on their backs, at least some people died because their families were ruined, or they were accomplices of the villains. Think about it, animals are so innocent. When you see their eyes and eyes, you must feel guilty when you cut the knife." Marco said here, puffed up his chest, "But killing these bandits is different. The more you kill, the more proud you will be. Sense, look over there, that old bear of Judd Julian—" He pointed to the open space under the steps.

At this time, the giant Yod Julian was chatting with several knights around him. His tone was high-pitched, and he kept gesticulating with his hands. Even if he couldn't hear what he said clearly, he knew that he was showing off his means of suppressing bandits today.

"Then how many did you kill today?" Eve asked him.

"Killed...uh... count as half." Marco rubbed his nose and said.

"Half?"

"Tandorf chopped down a bandit to the ground, and I went up to make up for it. I'm not greedy for credit, so it's half." He seemed a little embarrassed when he talked about this in front of Eve.

In the evening, the knights decided to camp in the castle and spend the night.Eve received special care and was allocated a warm hut with a bed covered with clean bedding.

Listening to the whistling wind and snow outside the window, Eve didn't sleep well that night. She encountered a nightmare for the first time.

After getting into bed with her clothes on, Eve tossed and turned on the bed, and didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night.In her sleep, she seemed to hear bangs and bangs, her eyes flickered, sometimes her head was heavy and her feet were light, or the world was spinning.She suddenly heard the creaking of the bed board, and felt someone was beside her.She was awakened because of this, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Kang Shi and Huvid sitting beside the bed—the two had their backs to Eve, talking peacefully in the dark, just like they did during the night watch last night.Eve was in a half-dream and half-awake state, unable to move her body, and there was a lot of screaming in her ears, the sound was like a whistle, and it was like the laugh of a mad woman.She sees Kang-shil turning his head to look at herself, as if to make sure she's still behind - Kang-shil laughing.In the darkness, his facial features were as deep as an abyss, as if they were wriggling and spreading.

Under extreme fear, Eve desperately wanted to move her hands and feet and make her throat sound, but she couldn't do it.She struggled, but fell into a deep sleep, and then was awakened by the dream again, and so on.She saw a broken hand in the pale moonlight, and heard someone calling her name outside the window, and she felt that the snow mountain was collapsing, or it was snowing in the house.Everything is changing and there is no logic at all.At a certain moment, she finally managed to break free, struggled, turned over suddenly, panting heavily, lifted the quilt and sat on the edge of the bed.

The gods and monsters no longer existed, and the room returned to its original appearance at this moment, the noisy sound stopped, and the knights sleeping outside were still snoring one after another.

A cold sweat broke out on her body.

Eve covered her head with her hands, staring blankly at the ground under her feet, where there was a piece of moonlight shining in through the window.
