Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Tale of Terror

It's not that he didn't think about escaping, but his seriously ill mother couldn't stand the toss at all, and if he stayed in the Hagrid family, for the sake of her third wife, the subordinates wouldn't dare to be too ugly, and his own brother would not attack his weak cousin as long as he still wanted some reputation. But if Little escapes and leaves her mother behind, she will be held accountable.

Little didn't know anything about it at the time, except to hear from the old servants of the family about the horrors of evil spirits.

And this evil spirit has been around for hundreds of years.

Litt met Susie for the first time at the meeting point.

The black-haired Susie is very conspicuous among the blond and brown-haired people, especially Susie's height and appearance are taller than the people around her, and Susie, who is holding a cross sword and wearing a black clergyman's robe, can easily become the focus of the crowd.

He was a strict creetor, he thought, and he had no faith of his own, even though the Holy See was in charge of almost the entire Terran faith, and the clergy were extremely respected wherever they went.

Little, who had always been mild-mannered, and Susie really never thought that the guys who would make themselves deviate in the future were each other.

Their mission was outside a southern town, where there was a castle in the dense jungle that had been abandoned for many years, and where evil spirits had killed many passers-by, and even if there were signs warning passers-by that it was extremely dangerous, there would always be people who did not heed the advice to take a short path through the dense forest and never came out again.

There were six of them, only one of the clergy, Little, and the other recruited adventurers had been warned of the great danger beforehand, but some of them still came for a good reward.

Susie rarely spoke, and the organizer of this mission, initiated by the church, was not the only clergyman, but an adventurer uncle who looked to be in his forties.

Under the leadership of the uncle, the six of them finally arrived outside the dense forest of the destination castle after a month's journey, and during this time, Susie had a good relationship with the other four people, and everyone also had a good impression of this gentle concubine of the Hagrid family.

Only Susie rarely spoke, not arrogant, and these more knowledgeable hobs could see that this handsome young man in his twenties just didn't like to talk. If you offer to talk to him, he will still respond politely and briefly.

It's just that the team was separated shortly after entering the dense forest.

The sudden fog made them unable to see each other clearly at a distance of only a few steps, and they could still hear each other's voices, but they just followed each other's voices, but the distance was getting farther and farther away, and soon they were separated when they first entered the dense forest.

God, this is a bad feeling, Little sighed, he was now deep in the forest, and the strange fog seemed to be only distributed at the edge of the forest, and it seemed that it would not be easy to leave.

Little simply gave up looking for the others, and after half a day's walk made him feel a little tired, Little sat down under the tree and made a fire to get himself something to eat.

Just as he was concentrating on the fire, there seemed to be the sound of a creature walking on the grass not far in front of him. 2018

Little looked up, and a pair of black boots appeared a few meters away, and the owner of the boots stopped there, as if waiting for his permission to approach.

Litt looked up, sure enough, it was Susie in a black robe, Susie's black hair and black clothes were so thick in the fine sunlight through the leaves that people wanted to touch it, he lowered his eyes and looked at Lit, who was squatting on the ground to make a fire, and suddenly smiled.

It's a very inconspicuous arc, but Little thinks it's so good to die.

Later, it was Susie who started a fire with one of the most basic lightning balls.

Although Susie is a cleric and has a high affinity for the light element, he also has a high affinity for the thunder magic element, and is a rare dual-line magician, of course, there is nothing to show off for the elves, and almost all natural types of magic can be touched and cast by the elves.

Little felt a little nervous inexplicably, he had been the director of the auction house since he was sixteen years old, and he had come into contact with all kinds of people, but in front of Susie Phillips, he was inexplicably a little restrained.

"Hagrid," Susie's voice was nice, magnetic bass, and Susie paused, unsure if she had misremembered the person's identity and name. "If you don't mind, go along."

Little could tell that the future bishop wanted to take care of himself, after all, he was the weakest and youngest of the six.

Of course, Little will not refuse Susie's kindness, his talent in cultivation can only be regarded as the middle and upper, but he has to work harder than others, but he has always been the best among his peers, and because of this, his father valued him very much when he was alive, so he could enter the family auction house at the age of sixteen to help, but unfortunately his stupid brother-in-law, after his father's death, did not think about keeping the power and interests of their branch with him, but spent money to push himself out and send him to death.

Those old things, for the sake of their own side, didn't care much about a young man with some talent who had not yet grown up, and naturally pushed the boat into this task that was almost certain death for Little.

Susie grew up in the Vatican since she was a child, and she didn't know much about the affairs between these families in the Aslan Empire, only on a mission or listening to the nuns in the Holy See say a few words, but if she was as smart as he was, she naturally knew how complicated the open and secret struggles within these families were, and even said that it was dirty, and seeing that Little had just entered the realm of the Great Magician, he came to apply for this task, and it was obvious that someone from the Hagrid family pushed him out to die, and he took this task completely because the teacher wanted to let himself test the waters, See what kind of strength he can achieve, even if he can't, he has a backup move to escape.

In contrast, Little, who still has a family alive, is even more pathetic, and for the sake of her education, Susie decides to take Little back alive as much as possible.

Susie didn't like to talk, and Little was inexplicably a little restrained, so there was little communication between the two during the meal.

"We may have to find the castle of the Countess of Windsor first, only then we will be able to make our way through the fog at the edge of the jungle, or we will be trapped here forever." Susie took out her handkerchief and slowly wiped the corners of her mouth clean, then looked up and said to Little.

"Okay." Lit, of course, listened to Susie.

After extinguishing the fire, Susie and Little roughly judged the direction and continued to walk towards the depths of the dense forest, which was overgrown with all kinds of wild grasses and wild flowers, and to be honest, it was quite beautiful here, and it would not be eerie, if Little hadn't seen the half-rotted corpse.
