Chapter 174: Grounded
When Hela wakes up again, she sees the familiar rooftop, her room in the witch's cave. The severe headache only became apparent when she got up, giving the Grave Girl the idea of lying down again. But she wouldn't do that, and Hela was more desperate to know what time was and what had happened since she lost consciousness than she had a headache. At the same time, she was also a little apprehensive in her heart, the great witch's tolerance was as impermanent as her anger, she didn't know how much trouble she had caused this time, especially about the powerful soul she had summoned, she didn't have the memory of that thing herself, she could only hope that it didn't cause irreparable damage.
Rising from a sense of vertigo, the Grave Girl had to hold her hands on the furniture to support her weak body. Fortunately, Hela's room is much smaller than the other witches, and the size of the room, which allows you to see all the corners of the room at a glance, gives a sense of security. The witch looked up, searching for her target in a row of wooden cabinets above the wall, her gaze quickly locked on a wooden panel carved with flower decorations. Hai stretched his hand and pressed it to the plank and pushed it sideways to the right, revealing the contents of the cabinet, which were dried flowers. She used her fingers to take the outermost dried flowers out of the closet, carefully placing them in a flat plate on the table, then picked up the kettle and poured some warm water into it.
At a rate visible to the naked eye, these dried flowers quickly absorb the warm water and gradually expand, the shriveled petals and shoots stretch out after absorbing the water, and the dull reds and greens become vivid again. When Hela put down the kettle, there were no dried flowers on the plate in front of her, and there were three roses that seemed to have just been plucked from the flower field. She eagerly picked up the rose, dug her nose into the petals and took a deep breath. The rose that had been sucked by the witch had completely withered this time, and by the time Hela went to get the second rose, it had turned into some soft black wreckage. It is said that in distant lands, there are beings who do not need to eat plants and animals, but only need to eat and drink dew to survive, and the Tomb Girl certainly does not have such means, and sucking the essence of roses is her innate curse, and it is a necessary process for her to continue her life.
After sucking all three roses, Hela finally regained some of her spirits, and her head still hurt a little, but the pain no longer affected her movements. Pouring the remains of the plate into a pot that looked like something was planted on the side, Hela began to prepare the door, which included the preparation of clothing, appearance, and casting materials. In short, after some process in which she was already quite proficient, there was no embarrassment on the young witch's body. She took a deep breath and opened the door to her room.
However, it wasn't the hallway that was supposed to be there outside the door. It was a much larger hall than Hela's, which she knew was only accessible when the Great Witch was summoned. Hela hesitated for a moment, not knowing if she should step out of the room and into the hall, the punishment of the Great Witch and the fear of the unknown frustrated her newly recovered glow again, her fingers rubbing the corners of her clothes in anxiety, expressing hesitation in this way.
"How long are you going to stand in the doorway, my dear?" said a cricket figure in the sunlight shining in from the window of the hall. Interestingly, Hela didn't feel that this room was built in a place where sunlight could reach it. But she knew that as a speaker, she could certainly let the sun shine as she wished. Therefore, the Tomb Girl did not hesitate any longer, or she did not dare to step into the hall any longer. As soon as she stepped out of her room with both feet, the door closed and disappeared into the lines of the hall walls.
"May you be in a good mood, Your Excellency the Great Witch. Hela said humbly in a trembling voice, bowing her head deeply.
"Happy?" the sound of the clash of dishes sounded, and it seemed that the great witch had put the cutlery in her hand on the plate. Hela, on the other hand, was on the verge of falling to her knees at the sound of questioning and colliding, and the adoration and fear of the Great Witch was the deepest thing in the hearts of every member of the Witch Order. However, perhaps she didn't want Hela to lose the ability to think out of fear, the Great Witch didn't speak for a few seconds, and when she spoke again, her tone had eased again, "Come here, sit here." You're hungry too, aren't you? Flowers can't fill people's stomachs. ”
Hela obediently sat down across from the Great Witch's table, she couldn't remember when there was such a table in this room that was just right for two people to eat, but it was said that the layout of the room itself was also affected by the magic of the Great Witch, and the furniture and decoration were only the most superficial changes. There are about five different kinds of food on the table, a piece of freshly baked bread on one side of the wooden board, and a knife on the other, so that diners can cut to their liking. Hela had already set up the cutlery in front of her, and it was clear that it was no accident that she would wake up at this time and be summoned by the Great Witch, either the Great Witch had calculated her awakening time, or the Great Witch had controlled her awakening time.
Dinner knife, cut off a piece of bread. Hela's eyes were drawn to the reflection on the knife, and she saw the hand holding it. Strange, the hand of the Great Witch, was it like this before? With this question, Hela mustered up the courage to secretly look up at the person sitting opposite, it was indeed the Great Witch she knew. It's just that it seems that in Hela's impression, the lady who has been in charge of the entire witch group for a long time should seem older. The Great Witch seemed to notice Hela's gaze and lowered the cutlery in her hand slightly, "I was told that if a person can't concentrate on eating, that person must have something in his heart that makes him very anxious. Say it, and I'll give you the answer appropriately. ”
"Peg, Fetis and Ki... I mean Miss Cooira!, what happened to them?" Just like what happened after the ghost, Hela didn't have anything in her mind about what happened after her companions.
The corners of the Great Witch's mouth rose slightly, "They're fine, and they're recovering much faster than you." However, it was surprising to me that your main concern was not the extent of the trouble you had caused but the safety of other people. It's good to know how to pay attention to your peers. ”
The Grave Girl breathed a sigh of relief, relieved to know that there was nothing wrong with the three of them. Although she was also worried about the whereabouts of Lothar and Fioni, it was better to find out more about them later than to ask the Great Witch about them. Hela continued, "Then, Your Excellency, how much trouble have I done?"
The Great Witch didn't answer immediately, she took a few more bites of the food on her plate, and then wiped her mouth with a napkin to indicate that she had finished eating. After that, she slowly spoke, "The others have already solved the trouble you caused, and then go and thank them yourself." I have come to you for the purpose of confirming your physical condition on the one hand, and to announce to you the punishment for you on the other. Miss Hela, you'll be grounded for the next seven months, and you'll not be able to go anywhere but your room and library. ”
