Chapter 408: On the Achilles' Heel of the Ice Darkness System
"You have to endure a little hardship to learn how humans speak, but you have to suffer. "Loria threw a piece www.biquge.info of bread to the girl in the cage, who quickly swallowed it in a big gulp, "It's annoying to see you talking a lot the first few times...... The rest of my life is all I have, and there's not much left of it...... Well, if you think about it, this sentence sounds pretty good, where did you learn it? ”
Hetty, who was gobbling up, choked on the bread and coughed loudly, but continued to nibble on the bread without stopping...... The girl's unpretentious appetite pleased Loria, and she felt a sense of familiarity as if she had seen her pet beautified.
"We're talking here...... Is it okay? ”
It wasn't until she swallowed the whole loaf of bread that Herty had time to talk to Loria, she looked at the location where Loria had made her voice before, but she couldn't see anything, there was a pitch-black magic barrier on the cell door, it seemed to suck all the light away, "What if you attract the robbers who are guarding?" ”
"Darkness doesn't just block out light...... The sound can't get past it either. Loria answered the girl's question, she had been around the cave lately, occasionally eavesdropping on the robbers, occasionally coming here to see the imprisoned girl, this cave was originally an abandoned mine, maybe man-made, maybe it was a geological problem, there are many small holes between the caves, and as long as there are gaps, Loria can walk freely through the fog.
The armor of those criminals is not tight, but under this special terrain, it can't stop Loria at all.
"You...... Why are you helping me? ”
Suspicious, Hetty continued to ask, lately, the girl with her sweet voice had always come to bring her some food and water, and from the other party's words, Hetty learned that she did not seem to be a demon, but a spellcaster with mysterious powers...... Hetty's attitude at first was definitely not good, but the other party was obviously not as good-natured as her dead brother, and would knock her on the head at the slightest dissatisfaction, and once almost broke her wrist...... No one had ever dared to do this to her, and no one had ever been so serious about a girl with a disabled right arm.
If you have a bad attitude, you will be beaten, you will be beaten if you feel sorry for yourself, and you will still be beaten if you hide in the dark and wipe your tears.
In short, Hetty was scared.
Hetty sometimes whispered to her in her mind that she was a demon, and she had never seen the appearance of this demon, who always came with darkness, but she must have been powerful and terrifying...... Like orcs?
"Why should I help you? Just because I love your hair. ”
Loria narrowed her eyes, thinking that she wasn't lying, she was attracted to the girl when she first saw the kidnapping girl...... Without it, the woman had pink hair, although the color was not correct and a little reddish, but it could also be counted as a category of pink hair, and when she followed the robber and heard the identity of this woman, she became more interested in her.
"My ...... Hair? Hetty touched her hair in disbelief, and she was glad to hear this, but she was also more curious about what the magician who often came to slap and feed her looked like, and after a moment of hesitation, she made a request: "Can you make a light?" ”
Hetty wanted to see what this girl who treated her equally, who never pitied her, and treated her like an ordinary person, looked like.
"Huh?" Loria was stunned for a moment, "I didn't bring firewood or flint. ”
"But doesn't a magician light up a room with a snap of his fingers? It's a very, very simple thing, right? ”
"Shut up!"
Annoyed and angry, Loria slapped the poor meat girl again, she thought magic was such a simple thing! Frost and shadows, although they are very powerful, but they can't ignite the fire and shine or something, ah, the soul is faint!
……
"What's your name?"
"Guess."
"Okay...... If you don't want to tell me, forget it, anyway, call you a silver-haired sister...... Do you think I'm supposed to go to the town's garrison? ”
"As long as you're happy."
Alice followed Augustus towards the hillside town, a small place called Thurberchel that had also not escaped the war, and the old site of the town had been reduced to a large pile of charred ruins, but fortunately, the main force of the orcs never appeared in the Silver Pine Forest, so that the townspeople were not harmed - they moved to more remote places to escape the war.
Along the way, Augustus kept trying to talk to Alice, and Alice seemed to remember what Loria had taught her, answering with 'Guess (it's about you)" and 'Just be happy (it's about me)...... Alice, who has a social disability, thinks that it is not so difficult to communicate with people, as long as she learns two sentences.
The discipline of the orcs was apparently not strict enough that there would be no deserters, and the bloodthirsty redskins did not know when they broke away from their chieftain in droves and ran into the forest to attack anything that moved, and their chieftain, even the king and his commanders, could not find out where the invaders were hiding...... Dalaran stood firmly on the southern shore of Lake Lordamire, and there was no indication that the orcs intended to attack the unfallen magical fortress.
However, the scattered, wandering orcs were enough to make the inhabitants of the Silverpine Forest suffer, they were combative, had an incredible desire to attack, and were adept at playing with the human garrison like a hunter...... You chase them out and they disappear, and when you come back, you find that the village has burned down.
Well, this is how Thurberchel was ruined, and the town's garrison, who were afraid of their families, were no longer willing to leave their new settlements to encircle the orcs, and would run into the forest to deal with the orcs, most of them were idle young men like Augustus - without the burden of family, motivated by the bounty promised by the king, many of them ran to the forest to play a game of hide and seek with those red skins with their lives as bargaining chips.
Even when she arrived at Thurberchel, Alice did not find the slightest taste of Loria, as if her friend had disappeared from the world, and in her disappointment, she involuntarily followed behind Augustus, who was triumphantly arranging the two orc fangs on the table, as if enjoying the watchman's incredible gaze.
"Did you really kill an orc? Isn't it to fill up with the teeth of a little wild boar? The garrison officer didn't think that this half-young man could take down an orc, nor did he believe that he had the luck of running into a dead orc, and after confirming it repeatedly, he still gave the prize to Augustus with a suspicious face.
"I'll treat you to a good meal!" With ten shiny gold coins, Augustus was so excited that he seemed to think of Alice as a mascot that would bring him good luck...... Alice, who was planning to leave here, immediately dismissed the idea of leaving after hearing the word food.
Finding Loria isn't a job that can be done in a day or two...... Alice patted her stomach casually, she had been hungry for a long time. (To be continued.) )
