Section 19: Leave the swamp
Monica is impressed by Bruce's words, but Bruce swallows Mavis's poison, and if he can't detoxify it, he can't escape the swamp.
"Then wait for Mavis to come back, and we'll leave together." Monica said excitedly to Bruce.
"Well, as much as I would love to leave with Mavis, I'm afraid she won't agree, you see she's always reluctant to leave the swamp, otherwise she wouldn't have left me behind." Bruce hurriedly persuaded Monica, Monica hesitated after hearing Bruce's words, Mavis was the focus of everyone wherever she was, and she was like a ghost hiding in a dark corner.
"However, I've been poisoned by Mavis, and I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the swamp." Bruce clutched his stomach, with a painful expression, and his acting skills were comparable to a line of fresh meat.
Seeing Bruce's painful appearance, Mavis also became nervous, if Bruce could not take her away, then the matter of reshaping her face would be in vain, and the woman's love of beauty finally surpassed her fear of her sister, she hurriedly went into the shack, rummaged through a row of wooden shelves full of bottles and cans, and finally found a small jar, and took out a pitch-black beetle from it.
"Eat it." Monica pinched the beetle and said to Bruce.
"Eat this?" Bruce looked at the pitch-black beetle, its gray eyes seemed to be staring at him, but at the thought of having to regain his freedom, Bruce thought to himself that he was eating a fried scorpion, took the beetle and put it in his mouth and chewed it.
Monica led Bruce to a pile of reeds behind the swamp hut, where there was a small raft, and the two of them boarded the raft and hung a small lamp on it, and left down the swamp waterway towards Grlinton.
In the dark swamp, only a faint light on the raft was illuminated, and a man-tall reed passed by them in the swamp, and Bruce glanced nervously behind him, as if Mavis would appear from behind him at any moment.
"Goo-goo." As the raft passed over a bush of reeds, several cormorants suddenly flew out of the reeds, and Bruce quickly stopped rowing the raft until he was sure that it was not Mavis who had followed.
"Brush, brush~~." But at this moment, a strange sound came from behind them, and Monica suddenly panicked, and it was obvious that what was behind her was by no means good.
"Quick, my sister is coming." Monica laid out the vial she had taken from the shack and warned Bruce.
"What, so fast?" Bruce was amazed, listening to the sound of the water parting at the speed of a speedboat.
"It's a water beast, a strange beast in the swamp that my sister has domesticated." After Monica finished speaking to Bruce, she took out a wooden whistle from a cloth bag tied to her waist, put it in her mouth and blew it vigorously, and the wooden whistle made a sharp sound.
"Whoa~~."
Sure enough, when Monica's whistle sounded, the sound of chasing behind her immediately became chaotic, and Monica signaled to Bruce, who immediately understood and hurriedly propped up the raft and rowed into the distance.
"How's it going, got rid of it?" Bruce asked as hard as he could hold the raft until he couldn't hold back his sweat.
"My sister is much more talented in witchcraft than I am, and I'm not sure she has any other magic." Monica said to Bruce seriously.
When Bruce heard that he still dared to rest, he hurriedly rowed the raft with all his might, and Monica also picked up another wooden pole to help row, but when Bruce couldn't help but look back, he saw a figure from the darkness chasing them.
"How dare you betray me." Mavis roared from behind her, and it was clear that she had spotted Monica and Bruce's escape.
"How could she have stepped on a swamp, and how did she do it without a raft?" Monica saw Mavis striding towards them, her body seemed to float on top of the swamp, a swamp that anyone would sink into, and it didn't seem to do anything to Mavis.
Monica was stunned by her sister's magic, she looked at Mavis approaching a little overwhelmed, even Bruce, who believed in materialism, was extremely surprised, and didn't understand how Mavis did it, whether it was really the so-called witch's magic.
"I'm going to curse you, my sister Monica, and the lord of Greenton." Mavis stopped fifty meters away from them, standing on top of the swamp and questioning Bruce and Monica like a queen.
"No, sister, I originally wanted to tell you, but I was afraid that you wouldn't agree." Monica hurriedly explained to Mavis, but Mavis was so angry that she didn't even intend to listen to her sister's explanation.
"You kidnapped my things, and you still expect me to forgive you? No, I'll curse you with all my magic. Mavis pointed at Monica with her right index finger, her small breasts rising and falling violently.
Bruce on the side was also a little panicked, it was really Mavis's appearance that violated the common sense of physics, but he was a person who had been baptized by materialism, and after calming down, he began to look Mavis up and down, and finally found that something was wrong with her feet.
"Monica." Bruce suddenly figured out why Mavis was able to catch up and not have to be afraid of the swamp traps, so he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words in Monica's ear.
"Is this true?" Monica listened to Bruce's words and looked at him in disbelief, but Bruce quickly nodded to show that he was serious, and Monica moved the light slightly in the direction of Mavis, and sure enough, she also noticed the abnormality under Mavis's feet.
"What are you talking about? Hmph, I'll teach you a lesson. Mavis frowned and said loudly.
"Whew~." Monica had already exposed Mavis's so-called magic from Bruce, and if she didn't understand Mavis's magic, she would be psychologically shocked, but once it was revealed, Monica took out a round ball from another cloth bag around her waist and threw it at Mavis's feet, and the ball flashed when it touched the dirt under Mavis's feet.
"It's magnesium." Bruce's eyes lit up, he didn't expect these witches to know how to use the element magnesium.
"Ah~." The sudden flash of light startled Mavis, and her body lost her balance and fell backwards, revealing the secret of her feet, which turned out to be wearing two special shoes made of wicker and twigs that resembled badminton rackets.
The raft continued to move forward, but there was one more person on the raft, it was Monica's sister Mavis, and when she fell on the swamp, her body fell like everyone else, and Bruce and Monica quickly dragged her onto the raft.
"I, I'm not going to thank you." Mavis sat on the raft with her arms folded proudly, her beautiful blonde hair covered in dirty wet mud.
Although Mavis is still very arrogant, but her most proud magic cracking, her self-esteem is very hit, Bruce saw Mavis's psychological weakness at this time, and he took the opportunity to tell Mavis who calmed down what happened.
"What, you can really restore my sister's face?" Mavis said in disbelief.
"He's the one who told me about the flaws in your magic." Monica hurriedly told Bruce about exposing Mavis's magic, and Mavis was even more surprised, how could Bruce, as a noble lord, discover the mystery of magic.
"Yes." Bruce could only nod his head, if the two sisters now learned that he was lying, he would be thrown into the swamp.
Monica's words made Mavis curious about Bruce, a nobleman who knew the mysteries of magic, which was a rarity across the continent.
"I want to be with you, I can't let my sister be with a cunning nobleman, I'm going to supervise him." Mavis stood up and said to the two, causing Monica and Bruce to look at each other, wondering why she had suddenly changed her mind.
"Okay, okay!" Bruce had no reason to refuse, so he nodded his head and agreed to let Mavis join the group, and Monica was pleased with her sister's support, and their raft paddled towards Grinton.
