Three people, three pairs of eyes, all see clearly, clearly.

The bowl of noodles flew directly in front of Veronica. Elena could swear that she didn't throw it away.

The feeling of coming out of my hand is like having an invisible hand that has snatched it directly.

Since Veronica's gradual recovery, there haven't been many appearances about her magical ability to 'copy' items. And Linda and Elena were also mentally prepared.

And Xia Qiya is the first time to witness this unimaginable power.

Linda and Elena looked at each other and were silent. Although they were equally curious, their hearts were nervous. Qin Song had reminded them that Veronica might be the son of the stars, and they didn't want to expose this secret in front of Xia Qiya.

"It's weird!" Veronica tilted her head as well, poking her finger at her lip like a child, and poking the pottery bowl again, "It seemed to come over on its own." ”

Run over by yourself??

Xia Qiya obviously realized something, tightly twisted her brows, and glanced at Linda and Elena's expressions, "Veronica, what did you do before it ran over?" or, what were you thinking?"

"Hmm......" Veronica rolled her eyes and scratched her cheek with her hand, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Ah, I remembered! I was thinking, it's delicious, bring it here." ”

"And then?" asked Shakia.

"And then it came running. Veronica replied as a matter of course, her current mental age was only seven or eight years old, and she didn't seem to care about what was happening, she focused on the noodles, licked her lips, patted her stomach with her hand, and asked cautiously, "Can I eat?" ”

"Eat, eat. ”

Xia Qiya said a perfunctory sentence casually, Veronica smiled happily, picked up the chopsticks and rolled up the noodles, and ate them in a big gulp.

"Linda, come here. I have something to say to you. ”

Xia Qiya, who was worried, finished pulling the remaining noodles in the basin, wiped her mouth and stood up, and gently patted Linda's shoulder.

"What happened?"

Around the corner of the cabin, Linda asked a little weakly. Veronica's power is not easy to explain.

Xia Qiya stared at her tightly, "Linda, something is wrong with Veronica. ”

"Indeed...... Something is wrong. Linda, who is simply introverted, is not good at lying, and her eyes flutter as she speaks.

"Listen to me. Xia Qiya said in a nervous tone, "Linda, this strange phenomenon. I've seen it, you know? I mean, it's something that no normal person can do. ”

"You've seen it?"

"Of course. Xia Qiya showed a reminiscent expression, "When I was in the Colosseum, there were many strange creatures there. Not only the orcs, but also the demonic beasts of the Northlands, as well as many strange races. The power they display is very different from that of mortals. It's called witchcraft, or magic. ”

"Witchcraft and magic?"

"That's right. The world is more complicated than you think. Xia Qiya stared at Linda, she was indeed very straightforward, but she was not stupid, Linda was such a weak girl, but she had an extraordinary physique, which had long made her feel very strange.

And when she asked Veronica just now, the eyes exchanged between Linda and Elena, which was obviously hiding something.

Sure enough, after she finished speaking, Linda's expression, who was not good at disguise, changed significantly, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she didn't dare to look at her at all.

It seems that the guess was correct.

Linda's body also hides some secrets.

"Alas......" Xia Qiya sighed softly, everyone has secrets, including her. Therefore, he didn't continue to ask, and looked into the distance with his eyes wandering, "Linda, I understand." Why did Leah leave me behind and teach you combat skills? You want to stay here and fight the orcs, don't you?"

"This is our home. ”

Xia Qiya has always been very arrogant and fiery, and rarely shows such a preoccupied appearance, which makes Linda a little curious.

"It was a bad decision. Sorry, Linda, it's brutal, but it's true. Xia Qiya smiled bitterly, "Orcs, it's not what you think, only by brute force. This world hides many secrets. You do have a chance to stand up to the orc warriors now. But in the face of real power, forgive me for being blunt, there is no difference between you and those farmers. ”

"True power?" Linda knew the word too well, and it was clear that Shakia had a deep understanding of orcs.

"Perhaps, it's time for me to leave. Linda, this time with you. I am very happy. ”

Linda suddenly became nervous: "You want to go?"

If you don't leave, you'll be exposed......

Of course, this reason is only a small part of it. In fact, during this time, Xia Qiya has a little like this place, and likes these friendly and cute girls.

Because of this, deep in her heart, a trace of fear was born.

Fear of loss.

Once the bond of affection is formed, Xia Qiya can no longer accept the pain of loss.

Just like her and her father.

She didn't want to lose everything she had gained after falling in love with these girls in an orc raid.

For Shakia, freedom is to be alone, because if you don't get it anymore, you don't care if you lose it.

"Did we make you annoying?" said Linda's brown eyes.

"What do you say? nothing!" Xia Qiya categorically refused, laughing and said, "You girls are so cute, how can anyone hate them?"

"That's because?"

"It's nothing. Xia Qiya bared her tiger teeth and blinked, "I belong to the jungle." Although your food is delicious, and your wine is delicious. But if I'm not in the jungle, it feels weird. Sleep is not very steady. Linda, I still have a lot to teach you, but you're already a great fighter. Believe me, at least in Blackstone Collar, no one is qualified to be your match but me. ”

"Don't worry, I'm not leaving right now. Xia Qiya was really reluctant to leave, as a foodie, those rare delicacies really made her unforgettable.

"However, Veronica must be told to Leah. Whether it's witchcraft or magic, you can't let it go. Because...... Such a person is either an heir of a demon or a servant of a different god. Believe me, in the Colosseum, there was also a human female gladiator, whose sorcery was to transform into a savage humanoid monster covered with hard thorns. ”

"People, turned into a hard-thorned monster?" Linda, who had been covered in hard armor, was full of horror.

"It's scary, and the character has become very savage. But I heard that she was finally put to death by the nobles for blasphemy against the Holy Spirit as the daughter of the devil. Of course, my father ...... No, my friend told me, it was because her magic was depleted and she was no longer useful. ”

Xia Qiya glanced at Linda meaningfully, "The son of the devil, the servant of the other god, in this kingdom, he can't live, and blaspheming the crime of the Holy Spirit will pay the price of his life." ”

Stared at by her olive green eyes, Linda always had a feeling that her secret had been exposed, and her heart felt empty.

"Linda, Linda!" Elena shouted, relieved of Linda's siege, and walked over to her and gave her a look, "Lord Leah, there is something to look for us." Very important. ”

"Uh-huh. ”

"It looks like today's training is going to be cancelled. Xia Qiya smiled, "You guys go." I'm here, with Veronica. ”

"I'm sorry for you. ”

"Go ahead. ”

......

"Sir Weimar, I hope it's not so bad. ”

Under the watchtower to the west of the brickyard, Leah rolled over and got off her horse, looking a little nervous. Sir Weimar walked quickly in front of her, his brow furrowed, "Since this morning, there have been scouts at the edge of the forest, and they have found traces of orcs one after another. ”

"So soon, let's go in. ”

In a makeshift tent set up next to the watchtower, a rough sand table is arranged. Leah held the hilt of her sword and pointed to the location of the sand table, "Since yesterday at noon, orcs have begun to migrate here on a large scale. Through Qin's parrot reconnaissance, the number was at least around three hundred. And it also includes female orcs, which generally proves that they are not for the purpose of raiding, but to establish a camp on the periphery, that is, to attack the outpost. ”

"Three hundred...... Weima's brows furrowed even deeper, "At present, the number of orc hunters is only about fifty. It seems that we are going to face a tough battle, and the odds are not good. ”

"The news from Daotan Town has been confirmed. Their vineyards, plundered by orcs, lost nearly a hundred people, and burned everything. When he heard about the Lord, he was furious about it and rebuked the Black Forest Knights for their poor defense. This is not good news, nearly a hundred innocent people will become the rations of the flesh and blood devourers. If the orcs capture Daotan Town—the situation will deteriorate even further!"

Leah's mood was also heavy, and despite Halsey's propaganda, caravans began to circulate to persuade the freedmen to move to Blackstone Territory, but the number was still limited. Those who are unwilling to abandon their family business obviously also pin their hopes on the Lord's Knights and the Knights of the Black Forest.

"What about the wise man, what does he suggest?" Weimar, who felt the seriousness of the situation, gestured on the sand table, "the edge of the Hurek Forest, although not very vast. But it also stretches for hundreds of meters, and once the orcs choose to divide their forces to attack, the defense line is lengthened, and the role of the orc hunters will be greatly weakened. ”

"I'm afraid it's really going to be a battle!" Leah took a deep breath, "I've already informed Qin of this matter, and I've also informed the others. They're on their way. We must muster the forces available to us to deal with this impending offensive. ”
