S: The chapter name is wrong, this chapter is 0417

In the Twilight Forest, directly west of the Rotten Grass Farm, on a large flat pebble on the bank of the gentle main trunk of the Elwyn River, little Anne shook her little feet and soaked them in the water, munching on her delicious lunch, a king-sized chocolate cream cake conjured up by the gem of reality whose power was no longer infinite!

Somewhat surprisingly, at this time, in addition to Tibbs, the bear who was placed on her right hand, there was also a white baby bear that was almost half as tall as when she was standing, and she did not forget to pull a little from time to time and throw it generously to it while she was busy eating.

"Hey! Someone wanted to eat you! But I still couldn't hold back the flood of sympathy."

"Sure enough, Queen Ben has always been a good person!"

Looking at the chubby little white bear beside her, Anne thought about it and pouted helplessly.

This little thing was actually found in the forest around a farm surrounded by undead when she teleported to the Twilight Forest before. At that time, this little guy was staying next to a large brown bear stone that seemed to have been killed by the undead and gnawed off half of its body, even if it was so hungry that it could not walk, so it seems that the brown bear must be the mother bear who gave birth to it?

Anne didn't want to delve into the strange thing as why a brown bear could give birth to a white cub! She's not the kind of hunter who likes to catch small animals to help fight, so how could she care about these things? Besides, even if it is raised, it will not be very powerful, so Anne will not waste time raising it!

At most, I'll throw it on the big river, on the small island in the middle of the river, and the little animals and fish on it should be enough to feed it.

Originally, this little animal with no ability to survive, Anne originally planned to catch it and roast it, but when she saw its pitiful appearance, she couldn't help but roast it, and temporarily let it follow her for a free lunch, and gave the white-haired albinistic brown bear baby a blizzard name.

Anyway, Anne herself thinks that a little guy like this will definitely not live long in such a big forest!

After all, its color is a little too obvious, it is neither cared for by a mother bear, nor as strong as itself, and dares to sneak out to play alone at a very young age! I have never dared to bully myself or eat myself or anything, and the bad things that I want to do like that are either burned by myself or caught by myself!

Well, think back then

The following are Tibbs's memories of when he was captured, and there are also some memories of Anne herself, after all, after signing the master-servant contract with his little master Anne, it can also share a part of the content that Anne opened to it, which of course includes the beginning and end of its capture:

The dividing line of memory

"Lalala, I'm a mushroom picker, and I'm carrying a small bamboo basket."

"Walk barefoot through the forests and hills in the morning"

"The mushrooms I picked were the most numerous and the largest, and I took them back to make soup for Amoline's mother."

"Stew squirrel today, stew gray wolf tomorrow, roast rhubarb the day after tomorrow, you can use it"

"Lalala, whoever dares to rob me, I'll set fire to him"

In the Fossil Forest of Voodoo Lands, a cute little girl who looked to be about two years old but not more than three years old suddenly appeared in this place.

She was wearing a small red dress, barefoot at her feet, a small white apron around her waist, and a small red turban tied to her short golden hair on her head, and carrying a small bamboo basket on her back, in this dangerous forest that no one else could enter, jumping and walking, and singing a nursery rhyme about picking mushrooms in her childish voice.

That's right, this little girl, she's our protagonist Little Annie!

It's just that at this time, Anne was only more than two years old and not yet three years old, this little arm and legs, and her height was not as tall as the weeds in the forest, so she dared to take advantage of her Amorien's mother to make breakfast, and a person secretly used the newly learned spell to come to this terrifying tree fossil forest where poisonous insects and beasts are frequent, and monsters and birds of prey often howl to pick mushrooms!

"I picked a big mushroom, threw it in the basket, and picked another one"

"Huh? This mushroom, it looks so beautiful."

Little Anne, who was burrowing through the gaps between the strange trees and the giant wood rocks in the tree fossil forest, soon found two large fresh mushrooms under the roots of a rotting wooden tree! It's just that one of them is white and should be edible, while the other one is colorful and very beautiful!

"But did Amoline's mother say that the more beautiful the mushrooms, the more they can't be eaten, and I heard that they are all poisonous?"

Carefully crouching barefoot beside the beautiful large mushroom with its colorful umbrellas, Anne stared at it with her big blue eyes and began to look it up and down.

She still didn't understand why she couldn't eat a big mushroom that was so beautiful that she couldn't eat it.

"What a shame."

I looked at it for a while, and then shrugged my little nose and sniffed it for more than ten seconds, and the sweet smell on its body made Anne like it very much! Therefore, she hesitated to stretch out her finger and touch it on the colorful mushroom cap flower umbrella, which felt tender and greasy, not at all like the strange things that her mother Amoline said would have diarrhea, vomit or be unable to speak directly after eating!

"Well, Anne has to listen to her mother, and she can't pick this beautiful bad thing!"

After sighing softly, leaning in again and taking a hard breath of the aroma, little Anne frowned, stood up a little cowardly, and then prepared to walk back to the rest of the forest.

“”

Then, I don't know what she suddenly thought of, the little girl's original sad face, full of reluctant expression, suddenly became energetic and quickly rushed back again! Then, a small hand grabbed the root of the colored mushroom and gently pulled it up.

"Although Amorien's mother said that poisonous mushrooms must not be eaten, if you give it to the rhubarb of the old man's house next door, there will be no problem!"

After putting the big colored mushroom in front of her nose for the third time, and taking a greedy breath of the sweet smell, Anne's eyes rolled bonelessly, and soon, the smiling face was smiling and accepted it into the small bamboo basket behind her.

The Big Yellow Knight is the old man next door, a janitor dog of the master family in the gray order, anyway, it's a very bad thing that Anne hates, hates very much, and hates the most!

Because, every time little Anne wanted to creep up to the roof of the house in the middle of the night to look at the stars, or wanted to sneak out to play while Amoline's mother was not paying attention during her nap, that very bad thing would always jump out and bark at her in time, and it would never stop if it didn't call some nosy bearded old man or some very strict bad mother to the scene!

After being caught by the bad dog several times, she already holds a grudge against him.

So, little Anne decided: take this poisonous mushroom, which is said to make people diarrhea or speechless, take it back and secretly feed it to the rhubarb! At that time, will you dare to target yourself again after watching it?

Hum! Knight, if it weren't for Anne's own fear of being scolded by Mother Amoline, maybe she would have burned that bad thing in one fell swoop!

"It's annoying! Why did I pick only two in total, and there are no mushrooms today?"

Anne herself just now, taking advantage of the time when her mother was making breakfast, secretly used the kind of magic that she had newly learned to flash within the visual distance, and quickly flashed many times to teleport here, so she had to collect enough mushrooms before her mother finished making breakfast, and then take them back to offer treasures, so that she could not be punished.

After a moment's struggle, Anne looked out of the fossilized tree, then turned to look into the darker forest.

"It seems that there is still a lot of time, so let's continue to look for it!"

It took me half an hour to barely find two mushrooms, and one of them was not even eaten by people, and Anne said that she was very dissatisfied with this result! So, after counting the time with her little finger, she decided to go into the forest to look for it again?

"Lalala, I'm a mushroom-picking sister-in-law"

Little Anne, who has never been afraid of the dark and doesn't know what she is afraid of, is still walking in the depths of the tree fossil forest with a big grin.

The grass inside is getting taller and taller, and the ancient trees and rocks are becoming more and more hideous, and as for the road, there is definitely none! In fact, the current Voodoo Land, except for the area around the Gray Order station, is very desolate! If you were a child like this, you would be scared and cry, right?

However, it's a pity that little Annie is not an ordinary person! Just like her, ordinary critters and beasts are afraid of her, because she can set fire! Like that kind of gray wolf or something, it definitely can't beat her.

“”

"Huh? Something seems to be in front of it? ”

Anne, who was walking forward, suddenly felt some rustling movements in the dark forest in front of her, as well as the strange sound of the beast roaring in a low voice.

Therefore, when she carefully followed the source of the sound and slowly groped her way over with a little curiosity, she suddenly found that in a clearing in a dense forest, it turned out that a giant and fierce looking tree fossil forest giant bear was confronting a monster bear that was black and emitting mist-like black energy?

The big black bear looked so fierce

However, before Anne could figure out what was going on, the black, somewhat translucent bear went down with one paw and slapped the fierce looking grizzly bear's head to pieces! Immediately after, the other party quickly approached, greedily absorbing some invisible energy escaping from the giant bear's bleeding body.

"Wow! Big black bear, it's not right for you to do this! ”

"I'll tell you, my mother Amorien said that kind of soul energy can't be played with casually, and it can't be eaten! Otherwise, the whole person will become bad! ”

Finally, after seeing what the other party was doing, little Anne quickly jumped out of the grass and planned to prevent the other party from absorbing the soul energy from the bear monster.

Anne had picked up such strange things from the gray wolves she had killed before, and then she had been caught by Mother Amorim and reprimanded her for a lot of things she didn't quite understand. Since then, she has known that that kind of thing, it's called a soul, and although every creature has it, she can't just play with it! Otherwise, you'll become a very bad villain, or even worse than the rhubarb of that white-bearded old man's house!

Not? What is this, a little monster that has never been seen before? It looks like the skin and tender meat are delicious?

As soon as he had finished absorbing the soul of this brown bear with the power of the earth element, the black shadow bear turned its head and saw a creature that it had never seen in the Tree Fossil Forest or in the Voodoo Land, so it did not dare to attack directly, but looked up and down the other party curiously. The other party looks like he is very weak, and he shouldn't be stronger than those squirrels?

"I'm not a thing, I'm not a monster, I'm actually called Annie!"

"Our race is called Human, and we are still a little girl, and we came here from outside to be in the mushrooms! As for the food, I don't know if it's good or not, but my mother said that people can't eat it! ”

In the blink of an eye, little Annie, who didn't know that there was any danger, took two more steps forward, walked directly to the open space, and stood a few yards away from the other party. The other party has a pair of eyes that exude a cruel red light, a hideous mouth and sharp claws, and when she stands up, she looks like a bear, but it is a little different from what she usually sees.

So, she was intrigued by this black bear-like creature! The other party looks so big, so fierce, and has a lot of fun.

Wait, no! How did you just know what I was thinking?!

The black bear-form monster was surprised by this! Although they have a lot of intelligence, they rarely encounter creatures that can communicate with them. Of course, they won't communicate when they meet, they will only kill and then eat each other!

Sometimes it's just the soul, sometimes it's the soul, and of course, sometimes it's the whole thing with the soul! For example, if the little guy with fine skin and tender meat in front of you grabs it directly and throws it into your mouth to chew, it will definitely be delicious, right?

"That's because of soul fluctuations! I know what you're thinking, Mother Amorien taught me a long time ago! ”

"By the way, my name is Anne, and I've just been introduced, and I'm from that little castle area outside! Excuse me, what's your name and where did you come from? ”

The other party looks like a bear monster, and the energy on her body is very familiar to her! That's because she seems to have this kind of energy herself, but Anne herself doesn't like it very much, she still likes those hot, red flames, which are fun to burn things!

Especially, pretending to inadvertently spell out of control and burning the beards of those long-bearded mage grandfathers!

I'm from the Shadow Realm, and the name doesn't matter, and I don't have a name! Now, little human girl, I've decided to eat you!

It doesn't care what the other party is! It had just hunted the giant bear of the Fossil Tree Forest, and it still hadn't had enough to eat! Therefore, it wants to grab this little human girl who has intruded into its territory, and then peel off the obstructive layer of fur, and finally eat the body with fine skin and tender flesh and soul directly!

"But my mother said that people can't eat it."

Anne was very distressed, why did this guy have to eat herself? I've told it that cannibalism is not right! Like the dead brown bear over there, like that animal can only be eaten.

Hum! What's my business, I'm going to eat you right now!

As soon as he finished speaking, the shadow creature in the shape of a black bear monster directly showed its sharp black claws and walked straight towards the little girl in front of it, which was already a little impatient.

"Do you really want to eat me?"

"Well, if you want to eat me, it's not impossible, but can you let me touch your body first? I'm curious about the black stuff on you, I've never seen anything like you! ”

Biting her fingers, little Anne tilted her head and looked at the two huge red cold eyes on the other bear's face with an expectant look in her innocent eyes.

"Okay, Brother Black Bear, I really want to touch that magical black fur on your body, just let me touch it!"

continued to stare at each other with those big blue eyes, with a trace of tears shining in her eyes, in order to be able to touch it, little Anne even used her ability to sell cuteness.

She knew that in the gray order, this trick, except for the cunning bad mother Amoline, was a little ineffective, but it was very good for everyone else!

I'm going to eat you anyway, so what's there to touch? If you creatures in the material world come across a shadow force like ours, it will be very painful!

Shadow Bear hesitated, not knowing whether to say yes or not. The other party looked like an ordinary little creature, and there was definitely no threat or anything, but it didn't want to waste time.

"I don't care, I'm going to touch it, just give it a look?!"

Anne thinks that this guy is really stingy, she has used so many moves, shouldn't the other party not give it a touch?

"Wow, that's it, it's this kind of energy, it's this familiar feeling!"

Seeing that the other party did not directly attack or oppose, Anne cheered and jumped up, and a pair of small hands directly touched the black energy fluctuations that continued to emanate from the other party's body. Sure enough, it was the same thing she had thought before, this kind of thing, exactly the same energy that she had always had in her body, and it was also like a flame that allowed her to manipulate it at will, which made her feel very familiar.

It's just that her mother Amoline once told her not to use the power of shadows casually!

Enough touching, right? Then I'm going to eat you now! Don't worry, for the sake of you and me, I won't let you hurt very much, if you are afraid, just close your eyes, and it will be over soon

Although there is a faint urge to let go of the other party, but such a delicious soul in front of him, if he doesn't eat it, then this shadow bear will definitely regret it for the rest of his life!

Therefore, although the other party looks cute, it still faintly makes it a little unbearable to start, but, instead of regretting it all the time in the future, it is better to regret it now for a moment, as long as you eat her directly, it will not be wrong!

So, after staring at the little girl in front of him for a while, looking at the other party for the last time, intending to remember the appearance of this little human girl who had made her feel that strange compassion, it raised the shadow claws in its hands, intending to give the other party a happy death.

"Brother Black Bear's family is really afraid of pain"

"So"

Blinking her teary eyes, Anne looked up and looked at the other man's big terrifying paws with a little fear.

It's okay, I promise it won't hurt you!

Shadow Bear felt that it had to do something, or it would probably be too bad to eat her later.

"It's not like that! Now what I want to say is no longer a question of whether it hurts or not! ”

"Now, people suddenly feel that they don't want to be eaten by you! So people are going to catch you back and play slowly! ”

In the next moment, little Annie's originally cute and pitiful little face suddenly burst into laughter. Then, he directly changed his face to the arrogant and domineering appearance when the treacherous plan succeeded, and the cracked little mouth even revealed a certain demon-like sharp little tiger tooth that had not been replaced.

Does this idiot really think she can't resist and has to be eaten by it?

However, in the next second, before the shadow bear could react, it suddenly felt as if the shadow energy on its body was no longer under its control, and began to rush frantically towards the little girl's hand.

No matter how much it tried to resist or try to fight back, it could only be in vain, and soon it realized that it had no strength in its body, as if everything except its thoughts was no longer its own.

Finally, when it slowly felt that everything was calm again, it was shocked to find that it had become even smaller than this little human girl who was originally a little smaller? Moreover, at this time, the other party's white and tender little hand was tightly grasping her neck, grabbing her originally powerful shadow body on her palm?

"Oh? You want fairness, don't you? But I think it's fair now! ”

Caught by yourself, and you still want to be fair? Dream it, don't even think about it if you don't dream! Anyway, now it's her Anne who has won, and she's managed to grab the novelty toy alive, and it's the most meaningful thing she's ever done this year!

"I'm telling you, you're my pet from today onwards!"

"By the way, I'm going to give you a nice name! That's called Tibbs! What do you think? Heck, you still don't have to struggle, as long as I don't let go, you definitely won't be able to escape! In the future, you have to be obedient, or I will beat you hard! I do what I say! ”

After pinching the other party's neck with one hand and carrying it to her eyes, little Anne raised her other white and tender little fist and threatened the other party viciously.

Anne thought that this fellow called Shadow Bear should be glad that in the past, all the squirrels, frogs, chameleons, gray wolves, or toads of the valley that she caught, as long as they could be eaten, were thrown into the pot by Mother Amoline, and those that could not be eaten were also burned alive by her!

Now this shadow creature shouldn't be afraid of her flames, right? If she has time another day or is tired of playing, then she will try to burn it again?

"Huh? Who's coming again?! ”

Suddenly, before Anne could figure out what to do with this guy, she felt as if some magical wave was teleporting towards her?

Soon, a familiar portal began to appear in front of her, scaring her so much that she almost lost the cute little pet she had so hard to catch.

"Wow! Oops, oops! Amorien's mother is so spicy that she is coming soon! ”

Seeing this familiar magic, Anne knew that she must have accidentally delayed the time, and then was discovered by Amorim's mother.

"My dear little Anne went to catch the big bad wolf last time, and this time she ran so far, have you thought about what kind of punishment you will accept at night?"

"Do you memorize the thickest arcane theory, or do you quickly copy the Shaping Spell a hundred times? Or give me all the spells you know how to practice a hundred times?! ”

After a voice of concern with a hint of anger came out of the portal, and soon, a slender and delicate white leg stepped out of it.

Then, the shadow witch Amoline's cold and angry face and cannibalistic eyes locked on a naughty little girl who ran away from home while she wasn't paying attention! If it weren't for the fact that she had placed a lot of positioning magic props on this little guy's body, I'm afraid that after cooking breakfast, they would still be looking for her all over the world, right?

"Wow! Mom! It's none of my business! ”

None of the three punishments Anne wanted, so after secretly pinching the soft flesh of her back with her other hand on her back for the first time, she ran over crying loudly and hugged her mother Amoline's big white legs, and then held the shadow bear in her hand.

"Woo woo"

"Look! It's all this bad Shadow Bear, it's all because it has to eat me, that's why I've been delayed for so long! ”

Anyway, punishment or something must not fall on yourself!

And what she said was indeed true, if it weren't for the delay because of this thing, she would have secretly run back, where could Amoline's mother find out that she had sneaked out?

"Oh? Shadow Bear"

The shadow witch Amoline's eyes froze suddenly, and then quickly turned her attention to a black object that the little one was clutching tightly in his hand.

Then, well-versed in the power of Shadow, she quickly confirmed: this was indeed a powerful shadow creature, the Shadow Bear! However, to her surprise, what exactly did little Anne do to subdue this ferocious shadow creature and turn it into such a small one? This superb ability to manipulate shadows seemed a bit beyond her imagination.

This little guy can really bring her a lot of surprises! Maybe her forward-looking education could be a little more radical? That's right, so happily decided! Amorien believes that in this dangerous world, it is always good to become strong sooner!

Although it is not good for a child to gain strength too early, it is better to let Anne lose control of her strength to hurt others than to let others use her strength to hurt hers!

"Amoline, did you find Anne? That's great! ”

Before the Shadow Maiden could continue to teach her playful daughter, suddenly, several teleportation fluctuations came, and the mystic warlock Gregory Hasta and several divisions or warlocks teleported along the coordinates left by Amoline.

They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw a little girl holding the Shadow Maiden's thigh and crying something.

This is because, when they learned that the cute little princess of the gray order, Anne, suddenly left the house and ran to the dangerous tree fossil forest, they all didn't care about what they were doing, and ran out to find someone as soon as possible.

Except for the Shadow Maiden who was able to find the little guy in the first place with the coordinates of the magic items on Annie's body, the rest of them had actually teleported to several places to find it.

"Wait! Is that a shadow creature?! ”

Suddenly, the white-bearded old man who lived next door to Anne's house looked at the struggling black shadow in the little girl's hand with a face full of disbelief, and he didn't understand how the little guy dared to grab a shadow creature with his bare hands like that. Isn't she afraid of the shadow power?

Besides, he could see that the strange shadow creature had a very strong body!

If it were him, Rui Ran, as a mage, he couldn't be afraid of this kind of creature that would only fight by instinct, but he would never dare to grab the opponent's neck with his bare hands like that, and he would not let that kind of ferocious shadow creature come within ten yards of him!

"I just caught it!"

"It just wanted to eat me, but Mom, can I make it into a toy?" I just gave it a name, it's called Tiebs! ”

Seeing that everyone else was looking into her palm, Anne triumphantly put away the tears of fake crying, and then raised her little hand. In the palm of her hand, she was clutching the shadow creature that seemed to be a bear monster, and the energy fluctuations on it were very amazing, so that the onlookers couldn't help but feel a little worried, for fear that the other party would riot and hurt Annie, a cute little girl in the gray order.

“”

"If you like, whatever you want!"

Shadow Witch Amorien was still a little shocked that her daughter was able to capture a Shadow Bear alive, so she looked at little Anne's expectant eyes for a moment before reluctantly nodding in agreement.

This powerful shadow creature, since Anne can now be tamed alone, there must be no problem! Also, if there is something good at melee combat to protect Anne, she can also feel a little more at ease. It's just that this thing needs to be like a foolproof strategy, and this shadow bear must also have enough safe means to restrain it!

Of course, these things are not in a hurry, and I will slowly figure out a way when I go back.

"Gregory skinned this bear for me and took it back to enchant and strengthen it! I'm going to make a good toy for our baby girl! ”

After carefully taking out a magic container and carefully containing the shadow bear that Anne was holding in her hand, but still struggling desperately and still compressed into a ball, Amorien picked up her daughter a little dotingly, and then turned to her husband Gregory and ordered.

Since little Anne was holding a shadow bear, she might as well sew her a stuffed teddy bear and seal the shadow creature into a magically enhanced bearskin toy.

"Okay, okay, I know, don't worry"

The matter of disciplining her daughter has always been her wife's concern, so. Gregory didn't say much, but stepped forward honestly, pondering over the giant bear of the tree fossil forest whose head had been scratched.

He thought that such a large piece of meat could not be wasted, so it was better to pack it up and take it away together, and the things of skinning, skinning, and enchanting would be talked about after he returned.

"Little Annie, I told you, this kind of colorful mushroom is not edible, why do you still pick this?!"

As she walked back, she examined the body of her precious daughter in the crook of her arm, and then, when Amorien noticed that little Anne had the brightly colored mushroom in her basket, she lectured with a straight face. She had only taught this little guy last night, and it was absolutely impossible for her to forget it so quickly!

"That one was actually taken back to be fed to rhubarb."

"What are you talking about?!"

"Ahh I didn't say anything, you must have heard it wrong! ”

“”

"Tonight, recite it once, recite it once, and write it ten times silently!"

"Ahh Mom, you can't do that, I won't have time to play at night if you do that! ”

"Humph! You've just run out of playtime! If you dare to talk back, the punishment will be doubled! ”

“”

The dividing line of memory

Dear little master, under the river, there seems to be a fleet, it seems that it is still those goblins?

Finally, after the first reminiscence of the unbearable past, Tibbs still honestly fulfilled his duty, reminding his little master Anne, who was teasing the baby blizzard bear, to pay attention to the goblin fleet that was swimming upstream.

"Huh? Goblins."

Anne also saw that on the edge of the skyline downstream, a large number of steamboats with black smoke were suddenly rattling and moving up the river.

"So many goblins and steamships? Where are they going? ”

Anne's curiosity was aroused, so she didn't bother to soak her feet, she opened a portal, kicked the baby blizzard bear into it, and let it go to a small island where there were no interested creatures to fend for itself, and then began to watch and wait for the arrival of those fleets.
