Chapter 2: The Pursuit
Ahh
Low-pitched but deep in the eruption, the howl that contained the wolf no no xìng suddenly rang out; And almost at the moment when the wolf howl sounded, the whole field seemed to become a wolf paradise - with a sound, the wolf howls quickly joined together, and converged towards the point where the first wolf howl was issued; Even the girl who stayed on the branch saw with her own eyes a pack of no less than twenty wolves rushing towards it.
The wolf pack rushed with a gust of wind mixed with a fishy smell, as well as the wheezing of the beast, and a pair of yellow-green eyes, which suddenly made the girl shiver - even if the temporary partner next to her did not explain in detail, but looking at the various strange noises around her, she immediately understood the intention of the group of people who had been chasing them behind her
Witchers are never short of courage, even if the girl is just a trainee witcher who has not been certified by the Witchers' Guild; However, the girl at this moment was frowning—judging from the movement just now, the wolves rushing from below them were only a small part of the wolves that followed; And even this small part is a "huge" number of wolves that are difficult to see for ordinary people.
After all, with the determination of the era of freedom and the establishment of the supreme government, the power of science and technology gradually rose; Although this power is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the people of the world, it does not prevent it from being effectively used by the highest government to transform the lives of ordinary people: at least before the Sacred Age, hundreds of horrible wolves have not appeared in people's sight, and gradually become a legend
Now, however, the legend is likely to be renewed; According to the estimate of the number of wolves just passed, the girl believed that it would not be long before a pack of wolves of a thousand or more heads would appear in front of her—if the time and place were changed, the girl would be happy to see the legend reappear, and would not mind experiencing the thorns in it; But when the source of the legend is in the hands of the enemy, and the finger is pointed directly at her, the feeling is, in her own words, terrible
"Don't worry, what they're looking for is me" The thick hood covered the young witch's face, and except for a smooth chin, it was impossible to see her expression at this moment: "The hand of the wizard is not the cold fellows of the dark touch, they will let you live; As long as you don't make a move."
"Let me live?"
The girl's eyes narrowed slightly, and her voice was a little more cold—it was obvious that the young witch's words had made her angry, and it could be seen from the slightest hint of electric fire that overflowed from the tips of her forehead, that the girl was definitely not ordinary angry
"Never put your hope in the mercy of your enemies; Instead of kneeling and praying for mercy from the enemy, pick up the sword and slash your way out" The girl stared straight at the young witch and said word by word: "This is what my teacher once taught me, and my teacher still reminds me - witchers never abandon their partners"
Partner......
The young witch bowed her head slightly in the girl's drinking, and an unknown feeling of heat welled up in her heart—for as long as she could remember, she had stayed in the Wizard's Castle, and had always adhered to the wizarding law of lifelong principles that believed in reason and wisdom; In the face of everything, he will calmly and rationally distinguish the gains and losses before making trade-offs, and he has never been swayed by feelings; Even if he was forced to leave the Wizard's Citadel this time, it was a decision made after thinking about it and getting the greatest benefit
Although, because of some flaws, she was discovered early, which put her original perfect plan into the worst case; However, at this moment, she did not have the slightest chagrin or regret at all
Not because of the intellect that has been cultivated over a long period of time, and the calmness that extends from it; It was only because of that hot presence that she had never felt in her heart before—a black sè staff that was slightly taller than the young witch and made entirely of walnut wood appeared in her hand at some point, gently stroking the amethyst inlaid on the top of the walnut staff, and the young witch set her eyes on the girl.
"I can buy us about an hour" The amethyst embedded in the top of the walnut staff slowly reflected a shallow light under the young witch's caressing, like water ripples in the air - after throwing the staff straight from the tree and sticking it upright in the dirt, the young witch was weak and fell aside, and at the same time did not forget to say to the girl: "The rest will be left to you",
"Hey, what do you mean I'll take care of the rest?" The quick-eyed girl grabbed the young witch who almost fell off the branch, and looked like a witch who had traveled for days for a short moment, especially after feeling that the other party's thick robes were almost soaked; The girl was even more anxious and called out again and again: "What's wrong with you guy?" Wake me up, don't fall asleep."
"It's all said, I've handed it over to you, I'm going to sleep for a while, and I'll wake up soon......"
The young witch's voice grew lower and lower, and eventually vanished; If it weren't for the undulating Xiōng mouth and even breathing that proved that the other party's body was just out of strength, the girl would have thought that the other party was using some kind of forbidden magic to sacrifice life in exchange for strength - after all, in the limited number of books that she had come into contact with about dark wizards, and then after being cornered, these dark wizards would always use the method of sacrificing life to win a chance to win; Of course, the final result will always be that evil will prevail over good; Darkness is dispelled by light, and evil is pierced by the sword of justice.
At that time, when reading these books, girls would always wave their fists excitedly; However, the moment she had just watched the young witch fall, she was completely devoid of her previous excitement—a momentary misunderstanding that made her think that she would lose a friend she had just made, the loss was indescribable; It's even worse than when she's back on the streets
call
The girl let out a sigh of relief, looked at the sleeping witch, she threw away the backpack behind her, gently carried the other party on her back, and at the same time quickly pulled out a rope in the backpack, trapping the other party and her firmly together - an hour is not much, and it is impossible to reach an effective safe distance with a person on her back and wearing supplies; So, in order to reach as fast as possible, the girl gave up everything that was not necessary, and continued on the road with only her own weapon and the young witch on her back
Weapons make up a portion of the bag, but the girl never thought of giving them up - not only because of the Beretta automatic pistol that Ye Qi gave as a reward, but also because she had long since hated the feeling of helplessness
At the last moment, if she fought to the death, she didn't think it was so unacceptable
