39.Chapter 39: The Witch
The witch's sister has a very nice and fairy tale name called "Alice", and the whole village is famous for her kindness and beauty, and Yang Qinglan, who has been at her house for a day, has a deep feeling.
Alice's personality is beautiful and simple, and she doesn't look like a human being, so it's no wonder that in the original movie, King Coke fooled her out of the village and scourged the whole world with him.
Facing such a girl, Yang Qinglan really didn't want to lie, so she honestly told her all the causes and consequences, and put everything pulled down from the witch in front of her, including the string of waist chains.
As soon as she heard the news of her sister's death, Alice locked herself in her room and cried for a long time, and Yang Qinglan looked around in the living room alone.
A portrait hanging on the wall of the living room caught her attention.
This is an oil painting family portrait, the style of painting is extremely realistic, almost the same as the photo, the portrait is a harmonious family of four, beautiful and handsome parents and two cute little girls who are not yet adult thigh-high.
Judging from their appearance, the two little girls are Alice and her witch sister, they are about the same size, about a year apart in age, and they both have innocent smiles on their faces, like the most beautiful elves in the world.
What stands out are their parents.
Both of them were not as beautiful as mortals, and the whole portrait seemed to radiate holy light, both of them were dressed as magicians in dark robes, and their mother's forehead was adorned with a red gem the size of a quail egg, which looked very similar to the one on the waist chain, perhaps the same one.
I don't know how long it takes to grow from a little girl to a girl in this village, if it is about the same as a human being, it is the early ten years, this pair of parents look very young, more than ten years will not die, but there is not a trace of their life in this house.
Where are these two people now?
What makes Yang Qinglan even more concerned is that there are two sisters in the family, and the younger sister has a name like "Alice" with a beautiful meaning, but the sister is directly called "Witch"? And it's as if the whole world knows her.,No matter who you ask, everyone knows that the witch is referring to the sister of this family.。
Is there any connection to this?
After more than an hour, the crying in the room gradually subsided, and Alice, probably remembering that there was another guest in the house, walked out of the room with red and swollen eyes, holding a rather thick hard-shell kraft notebook in her hand.
"This is my sister's notebook, which contains a lot of witches' spells, you can take them, maybe this will help you get back to your original form."
Yang Qinglan righteously rejected her.
"No, Alice, this is your sister's inheritance, and it should only be used by you."
Alice froze for a moment, looking like she was about to cry again: "But I...... You can't be a witch without your mother's approval......"
The main drama is coming!
Yang Qinglan's eyes lit up, and her upper body involuntarily leaned forward: "Is there any condition for becoming a witch?" ”
"I don't know...... Alice looked helpless, her pretty blue eyes were full of confusion, "Mother only said that I couldn't become a witch, I only gave these things to my sister, and I didn't have deep magical powers, so I could only fiddle with flowers and plants at home......"
"So, your mother used to be a witch? Where is she now? ”
"She traveled to the end of the world with her father to look for the ruins of the demon clan and never came back, and my sister and I were left in the village."
"Demons?"
"Legend has it that the race that created the source of the magic of zào is the most powerful people in the world, but because of their vain attempt to rule the entire world, they were suppressed by the gods at the end of the world, and then disappeared."
"Is the source of magic a physical object?"
"No, I don't know what it is, but it shouldn't be a real thing, once I saw my sister glowing all over, she said she was feeling the source of magic power, it must be some kind of mysterious thing."
"You haven't sensed the source of mana, why do you have magic?"
"It's just talent, born with it."
The clue was broken here, Yang Qinglan frowned, and suddenly remembered the words engraved on the waist chain - "The magic of the witch comes from the desire of the heart."
Inner desire?
"Is there anything Alice wants or wants to do?"
Alice blinked and thought for a moment, then shook her head, "No, I think I've got enough of it, and I won't ask for anything else." ”
"And what about your sister?"
"Her dream is to become a witch who is more powerful than her mother."
"Why don't you have such a dream?"
"It's enough to have a witch in this world, and I don't have any idea of becoming a witch, what a happy thing it is to live a simple life in the village."
"But there are no witches anymore."
Yang Qinglan's words made Alice stay in place instantly, and she was innocent just now, as if her worldview had been subverted, revealing shock, fear, panic, and so on, which made people love and pity.
"I ......," Alice opened her mouth to say something, but she didn't know what to say, and her eyes turned red again, and two bean-sized tears ran down her cheeks.
Looking at the two crystal clear teardrops, Yang Qinglan was very curious about the tear gland structure of an ivory toy, if the puppet cried, would the tears be sucked dry by the face made of cloth?
Emma, it's scary to think about it.
Suddenly crossed in front of his eyes the image of Abu Qing's fangs in the nightmare, Yang Qinglan shuddered, expelled those irrelevant thoughts from his mind, and comforted softly: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have mentioned this matter." ”
Alice's expression suddenly became resolute, and her beautiful blue eyes flashed with a light called a dream.
"No, I want to thank you, dear Lan Lan, your words have shown me the way forward, and I am determined to become the new witch."
“…… Clams? ”
Before Yang Qinglan finished being surprised, Alice's body lit up with a dazzling red light, and at the same time, the waist chain on the table broke in response, and the ruby flew towards Alice, circled around her a few times and landed on her chest, "growing" a thin silver chain, turning into a delicate necklace.
【Tick】
[The side quest "Source of Magic" has been completed, and the rewards for completing it will be distributed after the host finishes the main quest.] 】
【Tick】
【Trigger Side Quest】
[Host "Arashi" triggers the "Abu Adventures" world side quest - the growth of the witch]
[Quest content: Help the new witch Alice grow into a well-deserved witch]
[Difficulty: 4 stars]
【Mission Time Limit: Unlimited】
[Does the host take over the task?] 】
The red light on the girl in front of her had not yet subsided, and Yang Qinglan had been a little confused by the system prompts that appeared one after another.
It took her two years to complete the side quest of three and a half stars, and it was a few words of effort to complete the side quest of Samsung?
She's a genius.
But this four-star mission looks like it takes a lot of time, and what kind of witch can be considered "deserved"?
Yang Qinglan hesitated and distressed here, but the system did not give her extra time to think about it, and the sixty-second countdown soon left only the last ten seconds, if she did not refuse in these ten seconds, then she could only passively accept it.
Eventually, with only two seconds left in the countdown, she clicked and chose "Accept".
After accepting the quest, under the "Side Quests" column of the control panel, the "Source of Mana" suffix will show "Completed", and the "Witch's Growth" suffix will be "In Progress".
Because she was wearing a hood, Alice didn't notice that the person in front of her was staring at the "void" in a daze, and she was embarrassed because of the strange thing she had just made.
"I'm sorry I didn't expect this to happen, it scared you, didn't you?"
Yang Qinglan hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, I am sincerely happy for your growth, you have found your own path in life, haven't you?" ”
In the face of the compliment, Alice looked very embarrassed, lowered her head and blushed for a while before she suddenly remembered that the person in front of her had traveled through mountains and rivers to find something important, and hurriedly said: "Please take off your hood, let me try to restore your original appearance."
Yang Qinglan hesitated for a moment before slowly reaching out and taking off the hood on his head, revealing the face made of charcoal and the few dead hairs left on the top of his head that could not be called hair.
The face of the King of Coke is more joyful than terrifying, and it is even a little cute when you look closely. After all, it's a children's fairy tale movie, even if it's the villain who wants to destroy Miè the world, the character design can't be thriller-oriented, but at first glance, it's still a little scary to see this black face.
Alice, though not frightened, stared at her for a moment, then looked down and rummaged through the brown notebook for the relevant records.
But to the disappointment of the two, although this notebook talks a lot about magic, it does not have the same magic that can turn the resurrected person into the same magic as before death, and there is no record of even the resurrection technique, I don't know if it was created by the witch sister herself.
Seeing that Alice was obviously depressed, Yang Qinglan immediately comforted her: "It's okay, the main purpose of my coming here is actually to hand over your sister's relics to you, as for whether you can restore your original appearance...... I'm lucky to have a life back, so where could I ask for more. ”
I don't know if her open-mindedness infected Alice, the girl pursed her lips, revealing a determined expression: "I must make you change back to your original appearance!" ”
After the mission is over, this body is not her own, of course Yang Qinglan will not mind if the King of Coke will always be coke, but she will not extinguish the enthusiasm of others because she doesn't care, so she nodded with a submissive smile: "I believe in you." ”
"I can help you cover it up first, how about pretending to be someone from the puppet country?"
Muppet Country? This is good!
Yang Qinglan let Alice do it casually with great interest, and then saw that she didn't know where to take out a beautiful magic wand and wave it at her, and then out of thin air there appeared a lot of white strips of cloth that wrapped every part of her body tightly...... Except for the eyes and mouth.
After a few minutes, Alice looked at the "mummy" in front of her with satisfaction, and felt that it was simply a work of art.
"How does it feel? No one will recognize you now! ”
Yang Qinglan: "......"
