Chapter 4: Opening the World in the Wrong Way

……

As a bookworm who lives by reading, Wu Yu's receptivity to traversing the common passages of this kind of novel goes without saying. In fact, I have fantasized more than once about going to the world of the novels I read. However, as time passed, except for surviving more difficult, there were no changes to be happy about, and over time, there were no more fantasies.

However, no fantasy does not mean that there is no reservation of expectations, so when he heard those key plot words, Wu Yu still connected the world with the books he was familiar with for the first time in his mind.

In my memory, "Let Go of the Witch" tells a story that takes place in a similar setting in the Middle Ages, except that, unlike reality, there are some women here who will awaken their magic and become what people call witches.

And the protagonist of the novel is Roland, the fourth prince of this kingdom who lives in the castle in the southwest corner of the town where he lives, but now this prince should also have the soul of an earthling in his body. According to the course of the novel, now His Royal Highness Roland has begun to try to use the wonderful abilities of witches to enlighten the industry of this world, and has also recruited villagers such as Iron Axe, who saved him in front of him, to form an army to protect themselves.

"My lord, then, is this the border town of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, Roland?How long has it been since the Demon Moon?Who are you talking about?" First of all, let's make sure, after all, the scene of the living three-dimensional is still quite different from just reading on words.

"Heh, I'm not an adult. Iron Axe waved his hand, his eyes were slightly lowered for a moment, "However, this is indeed a border town, so you are not the original farmer of the border town, when I rescued you back, I felt that you did not have calluses on your hands, and although you were wearing coarse cloth, you were still clean." Is it a small worker in the shop in the fortress next door?"

Wu Yu held the bowl without saying a word, and kept nodding his head, hoping to let this great benefactor help people to the end, and follow his own brain to make up for the ins and outs of his life experience.

However, the iron axe didn't seem to care too much about Wu Yu's movements, but after a slight pause, he sat aside and pulled a small round shield of his own, and knocked on the grooves on the shield surface for a while.

"It's only been two days since the Demon Moon, and it was a nightmare, but fortunately there are His Highness Roland and the witches. ”

Speaking of witches, Iron Axe paused, "That's Miss Nanawa I was talking about, and Miss Anna." I'm telling you, there are a lot of people in the whole border who have been treated by Miss Nanawa now, and if you think that any witch is the devil, you'd better not show it, and I'm going to ............ you."

There is no doubt that this is the world of the novel I was reading a few hours ago! No matter how young and old I am, Wu Yu's excitement in my heart can no longer be suppressed-after 16 years, my golden finger has finally arrived!

After drinking the rest of the broth in one gulp, Wu Yu, who was already a little incoherent with excitement, turned over and got out of bed, "I, I feel well! Lord Iron Axe, oh no, Brother Iron Axe, I'm going to take a walk around town." ”

He didn't care what was still being said behind the iron axe, now he just wanted to take a good look at the world of words again, and couldn't wait to see the witches in the novel whose beauty and magic were equally amazing.

"New world, I'm coming!" Wu Yu pushed open the door with ten thousand expectations and greeted the hustle and bustle of the street.

…………

"You stop me, I haven't even said my name, where do you want to run!"

Wu Yu got up and pushed the door without warning, making the iron axe, who was about to speak, stunned for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and then he got up and shouted. If you don't pay attention, it looks like you're going to go outside to chase this guy back, and Iron Axe is a little annoyed in his heart and shouldn't be too careless.

However, to his surprise, the child who had been picked up did not rush out of the door as he thought, but stopped at the door as if he had seen something terrible. The pale back of his hand, which was clasped on the wooden door, and his slightly trembling body, undoubtedly proved the iron axe's guess.

No, the still loud and quiet voice that became louder as the door opened directly rejects the idea of the iron axe.

In the brief silence, only Wu Yu's slightly trembling figure stood at the door.

"This ...... What is it...... Finally...... Why ......"

In front of him was indeed a small town of low brick and stone or brick and earth bungalows, and many middle-aged men with hoes and hammers on their backs laughed and talked about walking towards the north of the town, and of course there were people drying dried fish in front of their houses, or pushing straw to pass by, or climbing on the roofs to repair their houses. To the southwest, on the slope of a hill unobstructed by any vegetation stands a very European-style castle.

It's peaceful and vibrant—provided you don't pay attention to the mosaics of schoolchildren's watercolors other than in front of you, and the moving vague beings in front of you, if they are really human.

Yes, for the first time, the world of this novel of his dreams is presented in front of Wu Yu completely and clearly.

It seems more like a nightmare than a place full of beautiful witches, wonderful magic.

"I may have opened it the wrong way. Wu Yu closed the door expressionlessly, and looked back at the angular face of the iron axe, and the round shield that reflected the glimmer of light that he still carried in his hand.

Wu Yu took a deep breath and opened the door again.

There were still a lot of moving humanoids with no faces or bodies moving around the street, and a few of them seemed to be looking over this way. I couldn't see any expression, but I could feel that the vague figure was expressing laughter or surprise.

What's even more penetrating is that, for example, facing the row of fuzzy figures with hoes on their backs, Wu Yu's brain seems to keep feeling some muscles occasionally flashing in the blur, and when he looks at those figures carefully, he will quickly become tired, and a disgusting emotion mixed with fear directly erases the sweet smiles of the witches who are still innocent and fantasized in his mind.

Turning to the other side, the northeast corner of the town, which looks like a funny child's illustration of several large pieces of paint mixed together and ready to shatter at any time, silently exudes the malicious atmosphere of the world. In stark contrast, the sunlight still shines through the clouds and sprinkles all corners of the town.

"Bang!"

"Lord Iron Axe, I think I still need your guidance on how I want to live my life next. Wu Yu leaned against the door behind him, "I will listen carefully to your arrangement." ”

- I should have known a long time ago that there is no such thing as a happy crossing......
