97. Witches in indigenous tribes
Outside the window, the poplar flowers are like snow, falling all over the backstreet.
Through the glass window, you can clearly see that the potions shop on the corner of the street is constantly coming and going, and it is natural that this potions shop can be so hot at a time when the magic herb market is extremely depressed due to lack of stock.
The native girl held her hands in front of her chest to prevent the linen skirt from slipping off her body, and the button on the back neckline was unbuttoned, revealing a whole back as smooth as beeswax, and a sinuous 'ghost vine' was tattooed on her smooth back, and a faint magical halo emanated from the 'ghost vine'.
Connie stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror and was a little stunned, the six-pointed star magic array she summoned by dancing this time did not summon the 'ghost corpse vine'.
Supposed to be her most loyal combat partner, he didn't accept her call this time.
She clasped her hands in front of her chest, her face was a little pale, and she looked a little trembling when she stood in front of the bronze mirror.
Another indigenous girl, Puyaka, stepped forward with great concern, hugged Connie tightly, and asked her with concern, "Connie, what's wrong with you?"
"It's scared, it's scared to come out of the magic pattern, I don't know what's going on. Connie pressed her jaw against Puyaka, her white chin resting on Puyaka's shoulder, and said with some dazedness.
Connie was a dancer, her porcelain-white toes propped up on the floor, and she didn't even think to button her back.
"It seems that although this 'ghost corpse vine' is parasitic on you, and although it is a symbiotic relationship with you, it is not completely under your command. Morayar walked up behind Connie and straightened the dress on her back a little as she said to Connie.
Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and Connie looked deeply at Morayal with deep awe.
He also replied very cautiously to Morayal's question: "Well, she is my combat partner, and this time she told me that it was dangerous here, so let me leave as soon as possible." ”
Seeing Connie's cautious look, Morayar just smiled and patted her face, and said to the top of her head: "Okay, Xiaohua, come out quickly, don't frighten our guests, invite it out so that I can also see the appearance of the 'ghost corpse vine', I heard that the thorn of this magic vine is extremely tough, and it can bind the wurm clan." ”
At this time, a fierce poisonous vine wrapped around the main beam of the room, like a giant python slipped down from the roof, the light green skin of the fierce poisonous vine grew some short branches, each branch hid a budding small flower, clumsy body crowded into the room, suddenly filled the room with a faint fragrance of flowers.
"Ahh
Seeing the violent reaction of the indigenous girl, the fierce poisonous vine also shrank back in fright.
"Don't be afraid, this is my flower vine, very docile. It has just recently advanced successfully, and it seems to be a bit big, but in fact, it is still quite timid, and it was bullied by Jijia a lot when he was in El City. Morayar sat on the body of the flower vine, stroked the sparse branches and leaves of the flower vine with her hand, and said to the two indigenous girls.
"You also have a flower vine, so you are also a great witch?" asked Puyaka to Morayal.
After all, it was the granddaughter of the indigenous elder, Puyaka, who was bolder, and she stared at the flower vine for a long time.
Morayar said to the native girl: "In the Grimm Empire, we are called wood magicians, we are slightly different, this flower vine is not attached to my body, we have signed a master-servant contract from the beginning, it is my magic pet, in fact, I not only raise a flower vine, but also some other magic. ”
Hearing Morayar say this, the two indigenous girls showed adoration.
Connie was a little scared, but she couldn't help but look at the fierce poison vine.
This fierce poison vine frightened Connie's ghost corpse vine into accepting Connie's summons and burrowed out of the circle.
At this time, the six-pointed star circle under Connie's feet suddenly flashed, and a ghost corpse vine with the thickness of a bowl slipped out of the circle, and quickly drilled into a corner of the room, trembling and coiling into a plate, looking extremely honest, I didn't expect the fierce poison flower vine to scare the ghost corpse vine with primary wisdom into such a look.
After Morayar showed her fierce poisonous vines, the two native girls were less nervous.
She asked the native girl, "Connie, does every great witch in your tribe raise a 'ghost corpse vine' like this?"
The room was originally quite spacious, but after squeezing in two magic vines, it seemed a little crowded.
"There is only one Great Witch in our tribe. Connie said to Morayar.
She glanced at the ghost corpse vine coiled in the corner with some concern, and said to Mo Rayar: "I don't know about the great witch of other tribes, but the great witch of our tribe does not need to raise the ghost corpse vine in the future, the great witch can sign a master-servant contract with the ghost corpse vine, and only the disciples around the great witch raise the ghost corpse vine, before getting the approval of the ghost corpse vine, we need to continue to use our own body to provide sufficient nutrients for the ghost corpse vine, the ghost corpse vine parasitizes my body, in fact, my body is used as the soil for its survival." ”
Connie said these words as natural as they were, because they were part of her life.
But we sound a little pore scary, just imagine that Connie has a parasitic tree vine growing on her body, like a crab claw orchid on a cactus, constantly absorbing the nutrients in Connie's body, maybe one day when this 'ghost vine' is big enough, it will suck Connie into a dry corpse.
Perhaps that's why Connie looks a little thin like this, not as plump and sexy as Puyaka.
Morayar is the kind of woman who is very emotional, and she was willing to promise to be my lover in order to rescue Moraes, which is her most emotional side.
When she heard Connie say this, she was also very moved and said: "I can't imagine what your fate would have become if it didn't have this 'Life Magic Pattern'! When this ghost vine continues to grow, it will grow bigger and bigger, and it will absorb more and more nutrients, what if your body can't provide it with enough nutrients?"
"That means my life will come to an end, but I'm sure I'll get the approval of this ghost vine before then. Connie said that she did not deliberately shy away from talking about death, apparently without any fear of death, and showed her strong side.
Later, Connie told us about the origins of 'witches' in indigenous tribes.
In fact, Wu has always been the most high-ranking spiritual leader of the indigenous tribes.
Connie glanced at the ghost vine in the corner again before saying, "It is said that the symbiotic contract with the 'ghost vine' was passed down by the first generation of witches. ”
"When the Lord of the Forest saw us migrating around all day long to avoid the hunting of monsters, in order to allow us to have the ability to protect ourselves, the Lord of the Forest selected some girls in the tribe who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the tribe, and let these them conclude a symbiotic contract with the 'Ghost Corpse Vine', and the girls who possessed the 'Ghost Corpse Vine' were respected by the people in the tribe as 'Witch'. ”
Listening to her description, my eyes were reminded of the Hiero plane from a long time ago.
Connie continued: "At that time, the witches did not have the magic pattern behind them, and the first generation of witches relied on their own life force to raise these ghost corpse vines, and at that time, very few witches could live to the age of twenty, and the ghost corpse vines would make them age quickly, squeeze their bodies dry and then break the contract. ”
It turned out that it was really as Morayar imagined, after the earliest witches made a symbiotic contract with the ghost corpse vine, they would soon be squeezed dry by the ghost corpse vine.
Connie explained, "However, if the witch can be approved by the ghost corpse vine before the life is squeezed out, this situation can be reversed and the master and servant contract with the 'ghost corpse vine' can be revered." ”
Morayar squinted her eyes and asked Connie, "Having the opportunity to become a powerful witch before the life force is drained is why you use your own body to foster the 'Ghost Corpse Vine'?"
"It's always been like this, it's a heritage in our tribe. Connie argued that these had always been common-sense things for her, and she added, "Only after becoming as powerful as a witch will you gain the approval of the 'Ghost Vine'." ”
Morayar continued to ask Connie, "So...... What's the matter with the magic pattern on the back of your body? Do all the Wu disciples have this magic pattern?"
"That's right, everybody has this kind of magic tattoo on their bodies. Connie replied directly, and she added, "It is said that the witches of the tribe have been studying the way to break the curse of dying at the age of twenty for generations......
"So they discovered this life pattern and fused it into the 'Symbiosis Contract'?" Morayar continued, and then complimented, "Your ancestors are still quite powerful!"
Connie showed a little embarrassment, and then said to Morayar: "Actually, these magic patterns are not left by our ancestors, this magic pattern is what we asked the Lord of the Forest to teach this magic pattern to our ancestors, telling them to choose some talented tribal girls and tattoo such magic patterns on their bodies, so that they can break the curse of 'witches will die of aging at the age of twenty'." ”
Hearing that Connie always mentions the Lord of the Forest in the Hiero Plane, I wondered who this Lord of the Forest was.
I think she might be talking about the old war tree in the Green Valley Forest.
......
The reason why Sue rushed from Campbell Sanatorium to Morayal's rented house was because I asked her to help me identify what kind of life pattern was behind Connie.
Now that everyone has decided that the magic pattern circle behind Cornie is a healing life pattern, then I suspect that Sue may know a little more about this than we do.
Su was wearing a white sacred robe, the expression on his face was solemn, and his words and deeds had the flavor of a Sola University scholar.
Maybe it's because I've been with Sola University scholars for a long time, so I naturally imitate things like Sola University students.
She stood behind Connie, carefully examining the magic pattern on her back, and after a long time, she turned to me and said, "There is no divine power in this magic pattern, and my prayers are repelled by her magic here. ”
I pointed to Connie's back, looked at the lifelike ghost vine tattoo, and said, "What is this?
Morayar stood beside me and said to me, "It must be wood magic, I can feel its strange power that feeds Connie's limbs. ”
"Is this a wood-based life pattern?" I asked Morayar.
Morayar said to me happily, "With this Life Pattern, we can understand the original laws of this world, and this Life Pattern itself has powerful magical powers. ”
Su's complexion has been much better than before, her face has a ruddy luster, and her skin is still so white, like a white bone china plate.
Su said to all of us, "The magical effect of this life pattern is nourishment, we can call this life pattern 'nourishment', it's very appropriate, isn't it?"
The name 'nourishment' sounds pretty good.
In today's world of such a lack of priests and battle priests, it is self-evident how much it would be helpful to discover a new healing life pattern in this protracted dimensional war.
Morayar couldn't hide the excitement on her face, and said to Su and me: "Some magicians spend their whole lives looking for some life patterns, most magicians can find some clues, but few people find life patterns, so life patterns have always been the most mysterious magic in the wizarding world. We were so lucky to have found a Magic Pattern of Life. ”
"I'd like to go to Hierro to visit the great witches of the tribe. Morayal once again mentioned that she wanted to go to the Hierro plane, and she stood in front of the glass window and said to herself, "Maybe I should go and book a ticket to Durva now." ”
She's the kind of person who wants to do something right away as soon as she says it.
"Wait a minute, there's no rush on this matter. Seeing that Moraya was about to buy an airship ticket, I hurriedly grabbed her and said to her, "We can go to Hierro together later, it just so happens that I have some things to deal with over there." ”
Morayar was even happier when she heard me say that we were going to go to the Hiero plane together.
"Jijia, I want to go too!" said Sue, who was standing next to me.
I couldn't help but ask her, "What about the job at Campbell's sanitarium, can you walk away?"
Su said to me calmly: "It's endless to be busy over there, I should have taken a vacation a long time ago, even if I'm not there, the situation doesn't seem to be getting any worse." ”
"What do you mean, you actually want to go to the Hiero plane for a vacation?" I asked Sue in surprise.
Su nodded at me calmly and said, "I heard that you have built a small town over there, so I always want to find a chance to take a look, now the situation of the plane war in various places is stable, and there are not as many wounded as before who go to the imperial capital for treatment." ”
