【Chapter 178】 The storm is coming
As the second awakened witch, Linda's personality is a bit stuffy and introverted and shy. In private, my mind is basically on the practice of ability. After being promoted to three stars, her leveling speed has increased significantly, and the use of her abilities has become more and more proficient.
And today, she has succeeded in becoming the second witch after Alice to master the four abilities.
Rock Falling Shock Lv1: Proficiency 0/20, releases the power of the rock stored in the stone skin, bombards the ground, causing a wide range of rock impacts, and direct contacts fall into a temporary petrification state.
This means that Linda has mastered the power to control Stone Skin, and from then on, she can freely control Stone Skin and appear in front of people as she is.
Of course, Linda, who was in a state of rage, didn't realize all this, and her eyes flashed only with the determination to cut off the evil.
Both fists fall to the ground, and the orc enters a petrified state.
Linda twisted her waist and slammed her rock thorn fist into the orc's head from the bottom up.
Uppercut!
With a series of jaw bones shattering, the burly and strong orcs flew diagonally upward, drawing a parabola in the air under the shocked gaze of the peasants, peasant women and children, and the red and white brains and blood exploded in the sky, splashing like rain.
Not only were the farmers stunned, but even the orcs who confronted Lea were visibly stunned.
Of course, Leah would not let go of this opportunity, and with an extremely delicate and accurate stabbing blow, from the right side of the orc, the cold light of the thin sword, pierced into the chest, piercing through the violently beating heart, just as her father had taught.
The orc had a strange look, as if confused, as if unwilling, as if shocked, and fell down heavily.
He drew his rapier and made another stab at the orc's neck. Leah turned around in shock, and her eyes fell on Linda, with fluttering silver hair and a fluttering cloak.
The complexion was fair, the eyebrows were sharp, a pair of sword eyebrows were raised, and the shining eyes were without waves, with a kind of solitary height and indifference that could only be seen from a distance, like an unpolished gem.
The crisis was lifted, and the audience was silent, except for the howling of the wind. The peasants and peasant women huddled together had stiff faces and horrified eyes.
This heir of the devil they once thought was a cursed freak, revealing in a way that no one expected, the admirable beauty that was conceived under that ugly skin.
Yes!
That kind of beauty, with deterrence, lonely and indifferent, is a rare life of these ignorant and lonely serfs, and it will be engraved in memory and unforgettable.
That heartfelt 'I'm not a freak' untied Linda's last knot and made her more open-minded.
She doesn't care about those people's eyes or people's evaluations at all now.
Is it necessary?
Totally unnecessary!
As everyone held their breath, Linda came to Malik on her own, his mother holding him tightly, with tears on her face, but her mouth was grinning, and she couldn't cry in fright.
Malik wasn't dead yet, but his waist was slumping, his mouth was foaming with blood, and his eyes were blurring.
Linda slowly reached out and picked Malik up horizontally, his mother's face was full of horror, and she wanted to stop it, but her whole body was out of control.
Leah walked over with a complicated expression, lifted Malik's lower abdomen, and gently pressed it with her hand: "There are no external injuries, three broken ribs, it should be internal organ bleeding." ”
Seeing Liya, the indifference on Linda's face was swept away, and even the sword eyebrows hung down softly, and her eyes softened: "Maybe there is still salvation." ”
Liya nodded understandingly: "Go ahead, I'll clean up here." ”
"Hmm!"
Linda was indeed cold as a rock during the battle, but she was always kind at heart, and Malik was afraid of her even when her mother abused her.
But so what?
As the gods say, it's just ignorance!
There is no point in scheming and arguing with fools.
Looking at the back of the silver hair fluttering and fading away, Malik's mother's expression was dull, and an inexplicable self-esteem rose in her heart, not to repent of her past evil deeds, but in front of the beautiful and lonely Linda, which made her feel ugly and mean, like a dog.
Leah looked around at the serfs who were palpitating, and breathed a long sigh of relief, if it weren't for Linda's strong combat power at a critical moment, I am afraid that today would have become a disaster.
The number of wounded was counted, and apart from the farmer whose head was twisted, the three castle guards were the most seriously wounded, and two unlucky farmers who could not escape.
Everyone is a precious resource, and Leah decisively frees up a carriage and immediately transfers the wounded to Blackstone Castle. The rest of the people packed up as much firewood as they could, and left the forest as fast as they could.
And for everything that the farmers saw today, Lia issued a stern decree that they should not talk about it in private, supervise and report each other, and once verified, they would be immediately hanged and their bodies exposed!
Chaos is re-enacted.
The serfs are the private property of the lord, and Lea has this right, not only to protect Linda's identity, but also to suppress the further increase in the panic caused by the orcs.
......
"Linda, what's going on?"
In the workshop, Linda carefully placed Malik, who was in a state of confusion, on the table. Busy with Elena, and Luna immediately gathered around.
"Linda, you're back!" Luna said in a surprised tone as she looked at the familiar silver hair.
"Let's not talk about that. Linda shook her head, gently grabbed her shoulder, and looked at her seriously: "Luna, use your divine powers to see if you can heal him." ”
"Okay, you're here just in time, and I've recovered more than half of my divine power. Luna nodded cheerfully, and with a wave of her hand, summoned the Abundance Elve, unleashing its Abundance Wings.
This isn't the first time Luna has used this ability to heal, as she had Kayce catch a mole and experiment on it while she was at camp.
Of course, the means are slightly cruel.
But the results were encouraging.
The lush fairy hovering over Malik's affected area slowly seeps into the skin with a green glow that symbolizes vitality. It took a whole plump elf's magic power to restore the sunken affected area and stop the blood foaming at the corners of the mouth.
"Well, it should be fine. Luna put her hand under Malik's nose and felt her breathing evenly, "I'm still a little weak, just take a break." ”
"Thank you, Luna. Linda let out a long sigh of relief and looked around, "Where's Alice?"
"She was in her room and said she was going to tinker with a machine that could sift flour. Luna looked the tall, curvy Linda up and down, "Linda, what happened? You've become so pretty, more beautiful than you ever dreamed of...... Wow, your boobs ....... ”
She exaggerated the comparison on the chests of the two, and then hung her head with a look of grievance: "Obviously I am the same age as ...... in my dream"
Elena pursed her lips and snickered quietly: "Linda's face is just restored, isn't her chest always the same?"
These two ......
Linda's face was hot, and she couldn't laugh or cry a little: "Don't talk about this yet, we have to go and talk to Alice, there are traces of orcs in the Hurek Forest." ”
"Huh?" Luna's eyes widened.
Elena's face tightened: "Has the orc army attacked?"
"If it were an army of orcs, I wouldn't be able to come back. Linda smiled wryly and shook her head: "Anyway, let's go see Alice." We'll have to talk about it. ”
Three sieves made of fine cloth with fine warp and weft intervals are stacked on top of each other at certain intervals, fixed in the center with an asymmetrical, movable iron rod, and joined together by a connecting rod and a crank. While shaking the crank, the asymmetrical irons begin to sift left and right at a fixed frequency.
After the maltose juice press, Alice's second completely self-developed simple sieve is freshly baked.
It must be said that the gods guided her spirit of exploration, inspired by simple mechanical structures, and gradually led Alice to the path of an inventor.
But before she could share the gratifying results with her friends, she was shocked by the news of the orc attack.
Joy turns to worry.
"Linda, I'm glad to have you!" Alice paced back and forth worriedly, "Otherwise, it must have been a terrible disaster." I'm afraid even Leah won't be spared. ”
"Alice, I perceive my shortcomings. Linda recalls the battle: "If the three orcs had attacked collectively at the beginning, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to resist it. ”
"Huh?" Luna's mouth opened in surprise, "You're the strongest warrior among us." ”
"Luna, it's not a question of strength. Linda frowned: "I just rely on the suppression of strength and the protection of stone skin, but I perceive that in terms of combat skills, I am far inferior to orcs." ”
"That's normal, Linda. Alice nodded and said, "I heard my father say that orcs have been trained in combat since they were children, and fighting is like their instinct flowing in their blood. The fact that you were able to kill two orcs on your own is already a glorious achievement. ”
"I'm just worried that they're just scouts playing outposts. Further down in the forest, there are more orc warriors eyeing the world. That means that we, Fort Blackstone, are going to face a tough war. ”
