Chapter Twenty-Six: Lamplight Witch Alley ~ Strange Jewels That Talk
Canheli is located in the Lower String Seat, where most of the people live a life that is not wealthy.
Such places are often pregnant with ancient legends.
For example, the Devil Alley in front of you.
As the name suggests, the alley is full of orange and red carnivals, with lanterns hanging on the walls and ancient murals visible through the cracks.
Bhatis stood in front of a stall, staring at the strange "face" in front of her.
"If you like me, I'll buy it, right? A little girl with a little white head. ”
Jewelry spoke.
…
The cause of the incident began a few days ago.
"Xiaobai, I remember that the Persona Rally is about to start, right? Is there a lottery in your class? ”
Louisa, who was reading a book, suddenly raised her head and asked.
"Hmmm! Start from tomorrow! ”
Hearsay Gathering is an annual event held by Emeline Selu for first-year students only.
Students are asked to decide their destination by class lottery and explore the city's wonders and sights, all of which are bound into a book in the Consciousness Layer's library of more than 175 million volumes.
And then what happened was that, as you can see, Xiaobai drew Canheli.
The night before she left, Louisa pulled her to buy a lot of "gear" on Grace Street.
Mostly simple voluminous robes, and turbans that hide gray hair perfectly.
After listening to a lot of advice like her mother, and regretting that she couldn't go with her because of the exam, she sent Bhatis to the train to Canhily.
Therefore, the heavily armed Xiaobai stood in the alley, with only one face showing up and down.
"How do you know about me... No, I'm not a little white-headed! ”
Xiaobai retorted, and only after rebutting did she remember the point-
"Ah, it's time to speak!!"
The jewelry in front of me, which had been randomly placed in a small corner and had been dusted for many years, woke up from its slumber and saw this red-eyed little girl staring at her.
Although the wrapping is tight, it can still see through these camouflage at a glance.
Hawkers,Anyway, the other party can't hear it.,Feel free to say it, right? I've been sleeping here for years, and I don't have any hope that someone will take me away.
But I didn't expect the other party to hear what I said.
"Y-Can you hear me?"
"I can hear you."
Beatis looked at the jewelry in front of her.
It's a face wearing a wizard's hat.
There was a purple glow flowing on that face, and the expression under the streamer was unfathomable.
If you look at it, it has been made into a brooch and necklace style, so it stands to reason that it will be very popular.
Xiaobai wiped the dust off that face, puzzled.
Is it because it's too ugly?
…
"Ahem, you've been staring at me for so long, I guess my appearance is still very attractive to you, buy me, how about it?"
"I'd love to help you, but I don't have that much money..."
A piece of jewelry that could talk and was not badly made, the money in her pocket alone should not be enough to buy it.
"Well, in fact, no one takes a fancy to me, and in the eyes of others, I am just an ordinary, completely worthless thing."
The streamer on the jewelry turned, and the face seemed to show a somewhat regretful expression.
"That..."
This behavior made Xiaobai a little soft-hearted, and she brought the jewelry in front of the shopkeeper and cautiously asked about the price.
"It's this thing! Little girl, if you like it, take it with five copper moon coins. ”
So, I bought it for five dollars.
"It's not worth the price."
She said this, pinning the jewelry to her chest.
"Let's take a good look at the scenery outside."
…
"I used to follow a very powerful magician, and we used to fight and travel all over the world."
"Wow!"
"Fight the enemy!"
"Awesome!"
“…”
“…”
"Mother, why does that sister keep talking to herself?"
"Don't look at it! It's going to turn out to be weird people. ”
Having obtained the materials for writing, Beatis took the newly purchased jewelry and took the train back to the academy together.
Along the way, it tells the story of the great achievements of the past masters.
For example, "The enemy invaded our stronghold that day, but the master still took out a strange-looking square staff to fight the enemy, although he was also injured in the battle, and there were many more scars on his body!" But in the end, she still won! ”
Or "one man toppled the whole mountain" and so on.
Sounds exciting.
In the past, every time I woke up, I was talking to myself, but it was rare to have someone who could listen to it, and this object, which was once also called the inheritance of "Tokti", felt that today's spirit was much better than usual, and it could actually talk about it all afternoon.
After speaking to the fullest, Tokti fell into a deep sleep as he said things like he was getting old and his body was sore.
It wasn't until Bhatis turned in that it was still lying on the table and not waking up, and the flowing purple light had dimmed to the usual appearance she had seen at first sight.
By the end of the day, she had only heard a lot of stories during her travels, but she had no idea what the object was named or who its former owner was.
"Chirp."
She poked her finger at the face.
"Was what happened before my hallucination? …”
"I don't think so."
Having just been relieved from the exam, Louisa returned to the dormitory with a heavy stack of books, and when she saw Beatis's distressed look, she placed the books on the table, and Angelina took them back to the shelves one by one to put them in their places.
"If you've seen it, it's there. Even if it's an uncertain memory, or a fleeting dream. ”
"So, what should I do now?"
"Since it's related to you, let it stay with you."
"I think so too, but the Bauhinia regulations say that you can't wear brooches because it will make the hospital uniform flawed..."
"Then make a necklace, shall we?"
As she spoke, Louisa picked up a white hair that had fallen on her shoulder, and waved her wand twice in front of her, turning her long hair into a silver necklace.
She put Tokti on and hung it on Beatis's chest.
"That's it, right?"
As the two spoke, the gloomy face on his chest flashed with a purple streamer that was not easy to be noticed.
