Chapter Seventy-Four: Alone Under the Moon

Perhaps because he had just moved, Mel didn't feel sleepy at the end of the meditation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

He planned to take a walk around Ullis's house and familiarize himself with the terrain. Kiki had been busy all day with the move, and now she was too sleepy to open her eyes, so Maier sent her back to her room to rest, and went alone in the direction of the atrium.

Uris heard the door next door, and immediately got up from the bed, and lay down in the door to listen to the movement outside. After learning of Mel's intentions, Euris quickly changed into her pajamas, she was not used to dressing herself, but she still hurriedly put on a set of civilian clothes, opened the door and chased after her.

When she caught up with Meyer, she was standing in the atrium with her head up at the moon. There are also many moons in the New World, all of which differ in size, color, and lightness, and each change shape with the feast. The starry sky of the New World is changing all the time, and the stars are twinkling and moving irregularly, and no one has been able to find a pattern in them, so the stars in the night sky cannot be relied on to tell the direction in the New World.

Uris adjusted her breathing, checked her clothes, and walked gracefully towards Myr.

"I heard my father say that there were originally three moons in the ancient world."

Her voice made Maier turn her head with a look of surprise. Euris smiled at Maier and continued.

"The red moon called Lhasas is the largest and is the mother of the moon. Both Barla and Maili are White Moons, twins born to Lhasas. ”

"This is the fairy tale of all of you, isn't it?"

"yes." Ulis stood beside Mel, "Lhasas took Barla and Merry to find her husband, the sun god Lomis, but unfortunately Lomis was also looking for them, and Lhasas and Lomis circled around the ancient world, and could not find each other anyway. ”

"Such a negative fairy tale is not healthy for children, right?"

"Really?" Euris pursed her lips awkwardly, "I don't think so." I was touched by the persistence of Lhasas and Lomis, and if I were Lhasas, I would continue to look for Lomis, even if I could not find Lomis in my life. ”

"This shows that you are a persistent person."

"Do you like persistent people?"

Euris looked up at Myer, her eyes glinting with anticipation. Mel knew that Euris was asking if she liked her or not, and if she answered in the negative, Euris would be very disappointed.

"Hmm...... It depends. If I use attachment in the right direction, I will like it, and if I don't do it, I will hate it. ”

"That's right."

Ulis smiled helplessly when she saw that Maier did not answer her question directly, and Maier took the opportunity to change the subject.

"When I was younger, my mother used to tell me fairy tales about the Tayrong people. The fairy tales of the Tayrong people always tell the stories of the nobility and promote their aristocratic traditions, so Daddy hates these fairy tales very much. When my mother didn't have time to tell me stories, my father would tell me fairy tales from other peoples, and those stories were also very interesting, but this was the first time I had heard fairy tales about the ancient people. ”

"So I'm getting another first time?"

Euris clapped her hands happily, and Mel couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Sort of."

"Oh, by the way, it seems like you've changed the name of your parents."

"Really?"

"In the past, you would say 'father' or 'father' when you mentioned dad and 'mother' when you mentioned mom, but now you have 'dad' and 'mom', does that mean we're getting closer? ”

Euris noticed details that none of Mel herself had noticed. He used to use different words for different people, and the closer the person he to, the more casual he was when he spoke.

Mel suddenly felt warm in his heart, and his cheeks were a little hot, and he was a little overwhelmed by such a physical change. In order to hide the panic in his heart, he quickly turned his head to look at the night sky, not daring to make eye contact with Euris.

What's wrong with me?

Mel moved his palm to his heart and took several deep breaths in a row.

Mel acted like he was feeling uncomfortable, and Euris immediately grabbed his arm and asked with concern.

"What's wrong?"

"Uh, that...... It's okay, it's just ...... Belch...... I don't know. ”

"Is it uncomfortable?"

"No, it's all right."

Maier adjusted her mind and smiled at Euris, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shall we go back and rest?"

"I still want to walk outside."

"Then I'll accompany you."

Euris took advantage of the situation to grab Myer's arm and lean forward. The girl's boneless body made Myer's heart beat slightly faster, and he took another deep breath before taking a step.

The two left the corridor and went to the garden of the atrium. There are many plants in the garden that can repel insects, and the smell of these plants mixes with the floral scent, giving a refreshing feeling.

There is not the slightest bit of romance between Mel and Euris in the midst of the sound of flowers and insects, because they both think while walking, and they are both thinking about the same thing.

Ever since they learned about the Black Shrine from Kugi Thirty-three, Maier and Euris have been thinking about exterminating the evil shrine maiden. Unlike Ulris, who wants to earn prestige, Maier is in the habit of being a bounty hunter and wants to rid the witch of her lair once and for all.

But for Maier, who is now worth hundreds of dollars, he is no longer short of money to sell the loot. Not to mention that there are no related bounty tasks yet, even if there are, it is faster to make money in business.

But he just couldn't let go of it. Among the captured evil witches, there are many evil witches from the sixteenth phase of the Rock Character Camp, Xiao Ye and Xiao Bird know them, and they also know Xiao Ye and Xiao Bird. On the way back to Liangyue City, Xiao Ye and Xiao Bird would often run to chat with them, and then the two maids would come to Maier to intercede pitifully.

Xiao Ye and Xiao Bird said that this evil witch brigade has not done many bad things, and no one has ever harmed the people. Mel felt that the words of the witch were not to be trusted, but with two living examples of reform, Leaf and Bird, standing in front of him, he felt the need to give the witch a chance.

I remember that Leaf and Bird said that they were taken to the witch's camp at a very young age. In other words, the witch girl grew up to her current size by robbing the girls, and if these girls had not been taken away by the witch and had grown up in a healthy living environment, they would never have become what they are now.

After returning to Liangyue City, all the captured evil witches were taken away by Yishan and imprisoned in the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion. If there were any of them who had ever harmed the people, it would be too much to treat them like this.

And Mel has one more question. I'm afraid there is only one Evil Witch Brigade that has been captured in the formation, but before that, there will definitely be Evil Witches who will be captured for various reasons, including many captains like Kuki Thirty-three. In this way, the existence of the Black Shrine will be easily exposed to the world, and as long as you follow the clues provided by the captives, it should not be difficult to find the location of the Black Shrine.

But now the Black Shrine still exists, and it remains functional. And until now, there hasn't even been a single rumor about the location of the Black Shrine, which is too abnormal.

Is she lying?

Maier shook his head slightly. As long as they send someone to confirm the location that Kugi Thirty-Three said, they can easily see through her lies, and then the lying Jiuki Thirty-Three will not end well. This is too stupid to do like a person who can recognize the situation and take the initiative to lay down his arms and surrender.

Ulis noticed Mel's shaking of her head and asked softly, "Thinking about things?" ”

"Hmm." Maier nodded, "I'm thinking about the Black Shrine. ”

"Actually, I'm thinking about it too." Euris grinned, "I still can't put it down." ”

"yes."

"What do you think?"

"I don't think it's going to be that simple, at least figuring out the exact location of the Black Shrine won't be as easy as we thought."

"But with the energy of the Xiaohu family, it's not difficult to find the Black Shrine, right?"

Urris's words made Maier realize another problem, that is, the power of the evil witch was so great that it could gather thousands of people to attack the city, why did the Rimi Shrine, Kamijin County, and the Xiaohu family sit idly by and ignore them?

Even if it is for the sake of the shrine maiden's reputation, Riya Shrine should be the first to stand up in this matter, even if it does not send troops to suppress the bandits, it must put on a posture of trying to suppress the bandits, and draw a clear line with the evil witch, so as not to be misunderstood as the instigator of the evil witch.

Wait a minute! Instigators?

Maier suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Koha a few months ago, when Koha, who was from Ira, claimed to be a shrine maiden but was not cursed. At the time, he thought it was strange, but because there were too few clues, he couldn't find an answer, so he could only ignore it for the time being.

Black and White Shrine Maiden Costume ...... Outlaws who call themselves shrine maidens...... Weapons! That's right! And weapons!

Mel's eyes lit up, and his thoughts suddenly brightened.

The Evil Witch is not only similar to the genuine Witch in terms of outfit, but also similar to the War Witch in terms of equipment. Ordinary criminals will not use standard equipment because they do not have the channel to obtain equipment in large quantities, nor do they have the ability to do so. Maier hadn't double-checked the Witch's gear, but their weapon build-up was clearly designed to facilitate mass loadouts.

The knife is a weapon between a short-handled weapon and a long-handled weapon, the length of the handle is usually about 50 cm, and the length of the blade is about 30 cm. The longbow used by the witch is an asymmetrical bow with a length of about 160 cm and a short lower arc, accounting for about one-third of the total length of the bow. The bow is made of wood, and the string is made of soft, malleable bark that is dried in the sun, and the material is simple and easy to make - of course, because it is a cheap commodity, the performance must be very poor.

The mask worn by the witch appears to be made of plaster, and the grimace on the mask is apparently covered with a special mold and then brushed with ink, as the grimace on each mask is identical. This means that the Evil Witch either has a dedicated mask production line or has a stable supplier of masks.

It can also be seen from the attack on the 29th Village that the witches had at least a certain amount of carpentry training, so they were able to make ladders and battering rams for siege cities.

Where is this outlaw force?! If these witches were organized and trained to be more perfect, it would be an army composed entirely of women!

Mel was taken aback by his reasoning.

It is almost impossible to grow an unscrupulous organization to its current size on its own. Thinking of this, Maier felt more and more that the evil witch was supported by a certain force. Combined with the Witch Maiden's attack on Twenty-Nine Village, Maier speculated that this incident may have something to do with the Bujin people, because whether the attack succeeded or failed, the Bujin people would reduce some military pressure, and it was possible for the Twenty-Nine Village to withdraw their troops because of this.

But speculation is just speculation, and Maier finds it unreliable. If the masterminds behind the scenes were really the Bujin people, they spent a lot of time and materials, but in the end they only destroyed one of the twenty-nine villages, such a result was very unworthy for the Bujin people.

Who could be behind this?

Mel frowned, the interest in moon viewing and walking had been replaced by stress. He rubbed his swollen temples, and sleepiness began to set in. After he yawned, Uris offered to go back to her room to rest, and Mel returned to her room.
