The woman looked frustrated, beckoning to Blue Feather and they took Iggie to eat.

There was no roast lamb with pepper for dinner, but there was a dish of rabbit stewed with honey and onions, and the staple food was venison and bacon cake, which was very delicious with the sour blueberry wine brewed by the townspeople.

While eating, Iggie heard the adults whispering across the long table.

"The boy won't tell where he came from."

"Yes, look at her eyes, how determined."

"She doesn't dress well, but the doll she holds in her hand is finely made."

"What is the relationship between her and Weima, she gave her magic, she must be very important."

"Maybe she's Weimar's illegitimate daughter."

"Don't talk nonsense, Hood just died, be careful that he returns to his soul and smashes you into a flat arrow with an iron hammer!"

"It's not all nonsense, Weima has been gone for so long and has not been heard from, who knows if she will find another rotten-nosed man in Neverwinter?"

"Hey, hey, hey" "Hahaha"

"Hey! You guys! Don't speak ill of Weimar! Iggy pushed the food away, stood up, and said aloud, word by word.

The hall fell silent immediately, and everyone looked at her as if they were ghosts.

"Have you eaten enough? My dear? The yellow-faced woman walked in from outside the dining room, apparently unaware of the silence she had caused.

Iggie nodded, picked up the doll and left the table, and the yellow-faced woman led her hand into another small room. These people are just like the maids in Neverwinter, they all love to tell other people's nonsense, and my mother and Weimar won't let me talk to them, but I'm not in Neverwinter right now, and I can shut them up.

At this moment the kind-faced man also walked in, bringing in a fresh smell of wheat, and he whispered a few words to the yellow-faced woman, and then he said to Iggie, "You will stay here tonight, shall you?" Meg will arrange the bed for you," he said, gesturing to the yellow-faced woman, "If you're afraid to sleep alone, we'll have Siline come and keep you company." ”

"Is that the one who can dance?" Iggie asked, completely oblivious to the man's restrained tone of voice, "Okay, okay, I need her!" "Let her teach me how to dance.

"As you wish, we'll go find her at once." Meg asked Iggie tentatively, "What was Aunt Weimar doing when you left?" ”

"She had a big fight with her mother, and I've never seen her fight so violently." ”

"What are they arguing about?"

"I didn't hear that." Iggie looked at Meg warily, she didn't like this woman very much, not only because she was thin and sloppy, but also because she had two long, thin lips, and Weimar said that such people were mean and selfish, and would burst out of that mouth at any moment to mock language; Her face was also thin, her sideburns were wet with an unknown liquid, knotted and tangled like yellow pine needles, and the most disturbing thing was her dim eyes, which were always frenzied and irritable from time to time.

Meg wanted to ask again, but was stopped by the man next to her, who explained to Iggy, "Weimar is Meg's relative, she left us for Neverwinter more than ten years ago, and then heard that she was a wet nurse in the palace, and then there is no news, so Meg wants to know how she is doing - we are all concerned about her." ”

Yiqi looked up at the two people in front of her, they were indeed very anxious, so she relented, "I only know that they quarreled because of me, I really didn't hear the specific content." She said to Meg, "If you really miss her, why don't you go to Winterfell to find her?" ”

"We can't go, the outside world is too cruel for us." "Our magic is collective, and if we leave the community, it weakens, and when it is gone, it feels like standing on a street with no clothes on." ”

Iggy didn't understand at all. What kind of magic will be shared with others? This has never been heard of on the continent of Orops. "Mother said that everyone's magic is different."

"Weimar didn't say that, did he?" Meg seduced her to think back.

Iggie struggled to remember what Weima had said, and finally nodded reluctantly, "She really didn't say it. ”

"Our magic is hidden. When everyone casts the spell at the same time, the entire Shadow Valley disappears from everyone's view. "We have used this magic to avoid war after war, until—" He looked at Meg hesitantly, not knowing whether to tell Sù Izzy the story.

"Until a bad guy came." Meg continued, her yellow eyes filled with anger, "He eats our bread and salt, but he does not obey the rules of the guests, and he curses us with a wicked curse that we will not stop giving our lives for his next child until the race disappears from this world completely!" That's why Weimar left the Shadow Valley, and she's there to protect us from the curse! ”

Well, I knew Weimar was a good guy. To be honest, Iggie only understood the last sentence, but she listened with wide eyes and tried to pretend to understand.

The kind man stopped Meg again, "Alright, she's still a child. ”

"She's a princess! Of course she should know! Meg became more and more agitated, "My husband can't die in vain!" He's a good guy! Not only him, but the old patriarch, Hood, and your Lola, they didn't deserve to die like that! She stretched out her withered hand, which was as thin as a chicken claw, and pinched the man's arm, "They are all good people, they shouldn't die like that!" Isn't it, Todd? ”

"You're right," Todd tried to reassure Meg, trying to calm her down, "I know it's hard, but it's not Iggie's fault, she doesn't know anything, she doesn't even understand what you're saying, now let's get out of here, don't scare the poor child." Let's figure it out together, there's always a way, isn't it? My Reina has set out to find a way to break the curse, and he will succeed, I assure you. ”

"Promise," Meg thought tremblingly, and had already begun to walk towards the door, but suddenly stopped, the shrill noise almost piercing Todd's eardrums, "Weimar promised before leaving!" But what the hell is she doing! Her promises didn't work, our people died one after another, and now she's gone herself, sending us only such a small thing! Who knows who will die next? I've had enough! I don't want to see old people who fall to their deaths on the flat ground, aunts who choke to death in the air, and I don't want to lose anyone again! She was in complete madness, with a tornado of madness in her two empty eyes, and finally, her gaze fell on the unknown Izzy, "yes, maybe this little thing is Ivan's child, that's why Weimar sent her to us." If we kill her, we will be gone, and there will be no more deaths in the town, and the world will be peaceful! Meg didn't know where she got the strength, and pulled out the dagger on Todd's waist with her backhand and threw it at Iggy, who had been staring at her every move, and immediately screamed when she saw the cold and shining sharp weapon: "Help! ”

Without waiting for her to take half a step, Todd took Meg's hands from behind, knocked off the dagger, pressed her against the wall and rebuked her harshly: "Even if she is Ivan's descendant, you can't hurt a child!" Meg sat down on the ground and cried aloud. Todd sighed, "Meg, look at this child, she's only ten years old, can you do it?" And even if you kill her, she won't really die, and there's only one more person in town who will die for her - there's no way you can break the curse. ”

"Is this our destiny?" Meg gradually stopped crying, and sat on the ground smiling blankly, "Just because one of us has evil thoughts, and we will suffer a terrible curse for generations?" ”

"That's really what we didn't do right." Todd sighed and turned to look at Iggy, who was cowering in the corner and shivering, "I'm sorry kid, I'm scared of you, we'll leave right away." ”

"No," Iggy heard her own high-pitched voice, "I'm going to turn back to Winterfell right now!" ”

Todd and Meg were stunned for a moment, then replied in unison, "Okay, we'll send you back at once." ”

"You don't---- Iggy said word for word. Then, she ran out as fast as the two of them looked at.

Todd and Meg found themselves at the same time that they really didn't want to follow her, not only did they not want to, they didn't want to see her again, so let the poor child go, it was safer than here, and she could only bring empty hope and deeper despair to her people if she stayed in town, or be hated and used, but without the love she needed most, why bother, go, let's go, let this episode become a little dream in the Shadow Valley, never wake up, and dream happily forever
