Chapter 22: Rapunzel and the Witch
Hearing that Lu Ming and the others knew about themselves and the prince, Rapunzel blushed a little at the moment.
She was a little embarrassed to tell them:
"Thank you, thank you for your kindness, but the witch she ...... It has been arrested with the efforts of me and the prince. ”
Hearing Rapunzel say this, Lu Ming was a little strange, thinking to himself how could a witch be so weak.
However, Rapunzel seemed to see what was going on with the witch, so she said empathetically:
"But if you want to find her, I can take you to her."
"Then I'm bothering you."
Lu Ming nodded, and then followed her out of the room in the tower at the signal of Rapunzel.
Lu Ming noticed that there was a spiral corridor in this tower, and there were still many rooms in it.
"Please go this way."
Fearing that they were on the wrong track, Rapunzel gave a special warning, and then came to the end of the cloister, about the height of the center of the tower, and pushed open an old door.
The first thing that came to their faces was a puff of dust, which seemed to be a place to store miscellaneous items, and as soon as they entered, they choked on Ann and Lea and shed tears.
"Ahem, ahem......"
Ann Leia was still coughing lightly, complaining that the room was really dirty, when suddenly a scream startled her.
"Yikes!"
The voice came from Rapunzel, and when Lu Ming saw her through the dust, they found that she was pale, standing with her teeth clenched, and there was a trace of fear in her eyes.
When Lu Ming looked at Rapunzel's gaze, his brows jumped, and he saw a person tied to the stone pile, this person had a pimple on his face, and he couldn't even see his facial features clearly, hanging his head, obviously dead.
"Female ...... Witch she ......"
Rapunzel was obviously frightened by the scene in front of her, and her legs were a little weak, and she couldn't even speak.
Lu Ming frowned, and saw that the person on the stone pile, dressed in a dirty robe, had already fallen a lot of dust, and it was obvious that her dress was announcing that she was a witch.
She ...... Committed suicide? ”
An Leia looked at the extremely disgusting witch in front of her, and couldn't help but say.
After all, this kind of scene is only done by the witches themselves, and the fact that they make their faces so disgusting is obviously their wizard's exclusive spell.
It's just this witch, why would you do this?
Just when she was a little confused, the Rapunzel next to her fell to the ground a little dizzy, so that An Leia hurriedly supported her, looking a little pitiful at her.
For Ann Leia's help, Rapunzel smiled bitterly and thanked them, looked at the corpse of the witch in front of her, and told them with a complicated face:
"I didn't expect that my mother she ...... I chose to die like this......"
Rapunzel's name for a witch, Ann and the others were a little surprised.
But if you think about it carefully, the witch is an adopted Rapunzel, although she is imprisoned here, but after all, she is also the one who raised her, and it is not an exaggeration to call her mother.
Rapunzel then told them:
"When the prince heard that my mother had not only imprisoned me here, but had also prevented us from being together, he was very angry and said that he would tie her up here and wait for two days to hold a special procession for her and behead her."
"I persuaded the prince, but he didn't listen, presumably his mother couldn't afford such a humiliating execution, so she committed suicide ahead of schedule."
"But she was bound by our hands and feet, denied food and water, and had no physical strength, so she could only let herself die under her own witchcraft......"
Rapunzel held her head and said with some sadness, no matter what, this witch is her mother, even if she usually treats her, when she really dies, Rapunzel is still very sad.
"Okay, it's not your fault, don't be sad."
Ann was sympathetic to Rapunzel's plight, and while comforting her, she glanced at the witch with a bad face.
She has become like this, I'm afraid she can't recognize whether the other party is the Aitasha that Lu Ming is looking for.
Thinking about it, she glanced at Lu Ming, wanting to know what he was going to do next.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ming's attention didn't seem to be on Rapunzel's words at all, but looked at the robe worn by the witch in front of him, touching his chin, as if thinking about something.
"Brave man?"
An Leiya called him a little puzzled, and then woke Lu Ming up.
"Huh? What's wrong? ”
Lu Ming glanced at An Leia and found that she was hinting to herself that Rapunzel was acting very sad at the moment, they should quit here first, and not let Rapunzel see the scene of her mother's death before saying:
"Well, let's go out first."
After exiting this room, Rapunzel's appearance improved a little.
"I'm sorry to let you see that."
Rapunzel's lips were still a little pale and said, the first is to let the other party see her such an unorthodox appearance, and the second is that the other party's idea of finding the witch is probably going to fail.
"Nothing."
So far, what else can Lu Ming say, so he has to decide:
"In that case, there's no point in us staying here any longer, let's leave later, I hope you and the prince can live well."
Since it was impossible to determine whether the witch was Aita Sha or not, it was none of their business what happened to the prince and Rapunzel, and Lu Ming had no intention of interfering.
I didn't expect Rapunzel to hear him say this, but in her appearance, she was a little hesitant.
Then she bit her lip lightly and told them:
"Hey, I'm sorry, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave here tonight, because my hair can only be used once a day, and if I continue to use it, I'm afraid it will be ......"
Rapunzel gently stroked her hair, and then a handful of shredded hair peeked out of her hand.
Obviously, when Ann Lea used her hair to crawl before, it caused a lot of burden on her.
Does Rapunzel still lose her hair?
Lu Ming glanced at her in surprise and said that he didn't believe it very much.
But looking at the way she looks, it doesn't look like she's lying at all.
"And...... I hope you will stay with me for one night......"
Eventually, Rapunzel gave her one of the most important reasons, while her shoulders trembled.
Obviously, her mother's miserable appearance before her death frightened her, and made her a little afraid to live alone:
"Tomorrow, stay until tomorrow, when the prince comes, will you leave?"
Rapunzel looked at them pleadingly.
For her request, Ann Leia couldn't bear it at first, she felt that Rapunzel was a girl, and it was a little pitiful to be a girl who had to live alone in such a dark tower.
And her mother is still a witch, God knows if the other party put any curse on her daughter before she died, so An Leiya still hopes that she and the others can stay with her for one night.
So she glanced at Lu Ming pleadingly.
"Okay then."
Since An Leiya was speaking for Rapunzel, Lu Ming had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and agree.
