Chapter 109: Together
In many fairy tales, these sorceresses who are not described much seem to be very good at strange and unpredictable curse magic, including magic that is close to the level of cause and effect, and even powerful curse spells that transform into dragons.
After discovering that the witch in front of her was indeed just a mirror doppelganger, the killing intent in Sophie's heart slowly faded away, suppressing the shadow that was about to move, and without any conflict of interest, it was very unwise to offend an evil witch who was good at hiding in the shadows for no reason.
He didn't want to find out if the city's woes were caused by witches.
The black red fish was expressionless, a pair of beautiful eyes stared at the witch motionlessly, and the white jade flawless body muscles under the sportswear were tense.
The rest of the senior candidates had never seen any kind of scene, and they did not let down their vigilance in their hearts, and believed the witch's words for a point or two at most.
The witch obviously noticed that the chosen ones were either unkind or eager to try, but she didn't care much, there were indeed a few outsiders who suddenly appeared in Clearru City that were not weak, but what the witch was really afraid of was the young man who brought her invisible oppressive power.
Because of this, she didn't want to provoke a strong enemy for no reason, but she didn't want people to sabotage her long-planned plan, so she simply sent a mirror doppelganger out to negotiate the temptation with a tentative mentality.
It turned out to be much better than the witch thought, and the other party was not the kind of irrational madman.
"We're just lost travelers, and we don't want to bother you, and we won't reveal anything about this place to anyone else when we leave, so we don't have to pay you, Your Excellency the Witch." Sophie replied without humility or arrogance, jokingly, wouldn't it be death to accept something from an evil witch for no reason, he didn't want to be pitted by a witch in a pinch.
The sorceress Alina's expression didn't change much, and she wasn't in the slightest annoyed by Sophie's reply.
There are many people in this world who dare to accept the gifts and help of witches, just because they don't understand witches, and greed and luck in their hearts outweigh caution, until they are finally pitted and can't turn over, and it's too late to regret it, and Sophie's group is obviously not in this ranks.
She shook her head and said bluntly, "I'm sure you'll keep your promise, but I'm not very comfortable with your companions. ”
The newcomers of the 119 and 179 teams together are more than one hundred and fifty people, and they are all ordinary people who know that they have little willpower at a glance, and if someone can't control their mouths and says something that shouldn't be said, it will have a great impact on her next actions.
Li Liuhua lowered his eyes, the witch in front of him should not be sure to kill them all, and his attitude would be so kind, but they were not the same, they were only teleported to this different world by Alcatraz not long ago, and they didn't want to provoke a powerful witch who didn't even know where to hide in their body, and both sides had the bitterness of not being able to make a move.
It's just that this stalemate is not the way to go.
Sophie was looking the witch up and down thoughtfully.
At this time, Alina took out a very beautiful silver hand mirror out of nowhere, and said slowly: "Actually, it is not as troublesome and complicated as you think, you only need to swear in front of this mirror that you will not divulge any news about me and Cleru City for half a month, and you can leave safely, but if someone breaks the oath during the period, it will cause a curse and become an animal that can never be spoken." ”
The hand mirror is no bigger than a woman's palm, and the oval mirror surface seems to be covered with a layer of hazy mist, which makes people unable to see it really.
The face of the chosen ones changed, what a vicious curse.
"We're not going to say yes." Sophie did not hesitate to reject the witch's proposal, and asked his teammates to take the initiative to be cursed by a witch, he was not stupid to that extent, paused for a few seconds, and whispered in the witch's interesting eyes: "I also have a proposal, maybe you can let a magic clone come with us until half a month later." ”
Sophie will come up with such a solution, in addition to not having a suitable solution, and not wanting to be led by the nose by the witch, but also planning to use the witch to quickly familiarize herself with the world pattern.
The overall strength of the 119th Regiment is still too weak, and when it first arrives in a strange world that it has no understanding of, and it is far from reaching the point where it can run amok, it is very necessary to win the favor and assistance of the local forces.
Even with the evil witch in front of you, it is not impossible to cooperate.
The witch bowed her head and was silent, as if considering the gains and losses.
Sophie quietly stared at the witch's delicate and beautiful face and said no more, patiently waiting for her reply, if the witch didn't agree, let alone come up with a solution that satisfied both parties, he didn't mind trying the witch clone in front of him to have some ability, his concession was a bottom line.
Some of the newcomers with poor physical strength were sweating and dizzy in the hot sun, but they didn't dare to complain, in just half a day, too many things that subverted common sense had happened, and the decomposing corpses all over the city were nakedly warning them that human life in this world was really worthless, and they would lose their lives if they were not careful.
"Your proposal, I agreed." The witch raised her eyebrows, she was just a magic clone, even if she lost it, it wouldn't be too painful, she liked sane people, sane people don't do some unreasonable things many times, and she was also very interested in the origin and purpose of Sophie and her party.
Then I saw the witch's beautiful and fiery body gradually shrink and transform into a black cat, and jumped on Sophie's shoulders in a few leaps.
The cuttlefish who reacted the fastest just wanted to stop the black cat, but when she saw Sophie shaking her head at her slightly, she simply gave up, and the woman was still very confident in Sophie.
The witch's transformed black cat lazily lay on Sophie's shoulder, spit out the scarlet cat tongue and licked the fleshy paws, and the purple vertical pupils revealed a wonderful look of humanity: "Your courage is really admirable to Meow." ”
Knowing that she was a powerful witch who used black magic, she dared to let her touch her body, and there were not many humans with the guts.
Sophie smiled silently, his Hundred Ghosts Night Walk is an extraordinary ability to control the evil demons and gods, any curse on the demon in his shadow is the most delicious food and tonic for the demon that is being conceived, and the snow Ji lurking in the shadow will also block all sneak attacks for him, of course, he will not be afraid of being close to the witch, as for the risk, there must be some risks.
It's just that there is nothing perfect in this world, and it's not good to calculate too much and worry too much.
Seeing that a fight seemed to be over and out, the newcomers were secretly relieved, even those who had a fierce personality before entering Alcatraz.
Ye Hanxue and her teammates exchanged glances at each other, and they were even more determined to act separately after leaving the city, Sophie's team has performed too strong so far, and it is very safe and very insecure to stay together.
It's just that Ye Hanxue ignored one thing for a while, even if Sophie agreed, would the witch let them leave with half of the newcomers?
"All the towns in this country have been conquered by the enemy?" Sophie took a candy from the storage space and brought it to the black cat's mouth on her shoulder, and asked casually, but he didn't expect the witch to answer honestly.
But there are surprises in everything.
The black cat stretched out its tongue and rolled the pink candy in the palm of Sophie's hand into its mouth, narrowing a pair of big round moist eyes: "Those muscular barbarians have only captured three big cities so far, and the two countries are still at war. ”
The black cat's voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.
The witch's personality seems to have changed a bit after the transformation of the black cat.
"Miss Aliana, do you know Snow White and the Mermaid Princess, and Little Red Riding Hood?" Wang Dao saw that the witch didn't seem to be difficult to deal with, his eyes rolled and rubbed his hands and ran forward, and asked three quite famous fairy tale characters on the earth in a row, the seemingly kind and honest fat face showed a flattering look that didn't know whether it was true or not, but he remembered the name of the crow before.
The black cat said strangely: "Snow White Meow has never heard of it, there are hundreds of human kingdoms on this continent, there are hundreds of princesses, there are as many princesses as stars, Meow is not good at the prophecy of finding people, you asked the wrong meow, those fish tails in the sea country have always been very mysterious, Meow doesn't know much about it, Little Red Riding Hood Meow knows, she is the famous wolf shepherd in the west of the continent, the lord of the Winter Wolf Forest, the daughter of Scarlet, even the meows dare not provoke, what do you want to do with her?" ”
Receiving unexpected information from the witch, the eyes of the chosen ones flashed with surprise and worry.
"This bluffing nickname is not a good stubble when you hear it." Wang Daoyi patted his forehead and smiled bitterly.
The cuttlefish used his fingertips to play with a wisp of green silk hanging from his ear, and suddenly said coldly: "As an evil witch, don't you think you are too good at talking. ”
In the famous fairy tale "The Daughter of the Sea", the little mermaid princess wants to turn her fish tail into the legs of a human woman in order to go to the land to meet the prince, and the price she pays is to have her tongue cut out and lose her beautiful voice forever.
As far as the virtue of witches is concerned, whenever they will take the initiative to send benefits to their doors, they have a deeper purpose.
The black cat wagged its tail proudly:
"Little girl, you still know a lot about meow witches, but Meow is not one of those stingy witches, Meow understands the importance of making more friends, Meow is very generous to friends, a little information will not be charged, hum, the reputation of meows is ruined in the hands of those narrow-minded and eccentric peers."
The corners of Sophie's mouth twitched, do you still have the face to say friends? I can't help but have a new understanding of the shamelessness of the witch, this ability to see the wind and rudder is really first-class, if it weren't for the fact that he and others still have some strength, I am afraid that they would have been eaten by the witch long ago and there would be no bones left.
"Let's get out of the city first, it's not a good place to talk." Mu Qiutang glanced at the newcomer with a pale face, the whole city was full of rotting corpses, maggots on the rotten flesh were constantly wriggling, and flies were buzzing around the corpses, ordinary people would have nightmares just by looking at them, not to mention that the smell of rotting corpses escaping in the air under the sun exposure could smoke people.
When the newcomers heard this, they all looked at the young woman with gratitude.
The Chosen ones didn't want to stay in such a bad place, and they all looked approving.
Under the guidance of the black cat, the group took a shortcut and walked for more than ten minutes to the city gate. The thick gates that were supposed to protect the city had been smashed to pieces by enemy siege equipment, and behind the gates were a large number of corpses of soldiers who had fought to the death.
Lin Zeqing's face showed a hint of admiration after seeing it, no matter why the two countries are fighting, these soldiers who are sworn to defend their homeland are always worthy of admiration.
Ye Hanxue also quickly came back to her senses on the way out of the city, and it may not be so easy for her team to leave now, because the situation has changed, and their separation is obviously not in line with the common interests of Sophie and the witch Alina.
As soon as they left the city gate, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, either bright or dark, no normal person would like to stay in a dead city full of corpses.
After walking for miles in the scorching sun, a group of people came to a small forest on the outskirts of Cleru, Sophie turned around and quickly glanced around, seeing that most of the newcomers were tired or confused, she shook her head imperceptibly, hoping that these newcomers could change their mentality as soon as possible.
"Rest in place for half an hour."
Su Jin's voice sounded, and many newcomers suddenly had weak legs, and sat on the ground without any image, constantly wiping the sweat on their cheeks with their sleeves, and some men even took off their clothes and went shirtless.
Lin Zeqing quietly surveyed the entire grove inside and outside, as a soldier, he was very vigilant.
"Miss Su Gemo, you have worked hard all the way, the weather is really hot, come and drink a bottle of water to quench your thirst." Zhao Xingguo took out seven bottles of unopened mineral water from the storage space and hugged them in his arms, and ran to Sophie and handed over two bottles of water to him, no matter what he really thought in his heart, an adult in his twenties called a high school student brother, and the thickness of his face alone made ordinary people ashamed.
Sophie hesitated a little and took the mineral water: "Thank you." ”
It doesn't matter if you drink water or not, which one of the chosen ones who has spent two missions will lack this bottle of water? Zhao Xingguo was just showing his attitude to Sophie.
The black red fish leaned leisurely on a tree, as if he didn't hear Zhao Xingguo's words, and the gaze of his eyes seemed to drift to the black cat on Sophie's shoulder.
"It's okay, Brother Su, if you have something, just tell me." Seeing that Sophie didn't refuse, Zhao Xingguo couldn't help but show joy, and didn't seem to care about the indifference of the cuttlefish, and quickly turned his head to Li Liuhua beside Sophie and smiled and said, "Miss Liuhua wants to drink water?" ”
didn't treat Li Liuhua as a little girl, and didn't dare to call it too intimate, Zhao Xingguo has been in the workplace for several years, and his eyesight is still there, just before he observed some of Li Liuhua's demeanor and actions towards Sophie, obviously the relationship is not just as simple as an ordinary brother and sister.
Li Liuhua simply stretched out her little hand to take the mineral water and thanked her politely, she was not like the arrogant woman of the cuttlefish, who didn't even bother to do surface work.
Zhao Xingguo knew that it was too late, and the friendship between the two sides would not be able to be done well for a while, so after saying hello, he turned around and walked briskly towards Wang Daoyi and Zhou Bingcheng with mineral water, it seemed that he was going to send a bottle of mineral water to everyone, so he rushed to this courteous energy, even if he saw that Zhao Xingguo was not pleasing to the eye, he was embarrassed to shake his face directly.
