Chapter 10 Greetings

"Just send it here, you can go back. I'll go back when I'm done with this. A little girl with long green hair stood on the side of the road by the forest and said to the men in front of her. On the left side of the path are dense forests, and on the right side are cliffs that slash down like knives and axes, and the water laps against the rocks with a regular sound under the action of the tides.

The people who escorted the girl here looked at each other, and one of them was more bold and said, "But the one-eyed boss ordered us to escort you all the way to Heartbreaker's Bay, and now we can't recover our lives." Moreover, you also rejected our suggestion to rent a boat, and you can't cross the sea without a boat right now, can you?" Although the so-called forces in human society are neither reliable nor united for the dark inhabitants living in the royal capital, for ordinary people, the name One-Eye is the absolute ruler of the Grey Lion's underworld. Especially during this period, through the turmoil in various places, this power based on the royal capital has been greatly expanded. There is even a legend that the one-eyed leader, who is the leader, himself uses some kind of sorcery, which makes the people who work for him dare not deceive.

However, these people would not have imagined that it was not the leader they thought would have the ability to cast spells in the one-eyed forces, but the little girl in front of them and the other two ordinary members of the lady who were even more difficult to see. In their eyes, since Peg was the owner of the Crimson Pupil Tavern, she was a valuable presence to One-Eye. Whether she is a one-eyed illegitimate daughter or a fulfiller of one of her interests, her life is very important. At least it's more important than your own people. So while it's unclear why One-Eyes would have them protect Peg from this remote fishing village in the southern part of the kingdom and then to Heartless Bay, it is conceivable that if a few of them let go of it, they will be severely punished.

The witch sighed, what she was going to do next was not acceptable to ordinary people, and besides, these people couldn't help. And just as Peg was thinking about what to say to get them to leave, the sound of birds screaming in the woods was heard. Several fawns rushed out of the bushes, and in their panic, they didn't see the cliff in front of them and rushed straight down.

"What?" I don't know who shouted it, but then they saw the culprit who caused the panic. The man, or rather, the thing, was running out of the woods.

To be fair, he still maintains a crude human appearance, but that only means that he has rough limbs and a head, and there are many more limbs derived from the torso. Even those human bodies are covered in a soft, slippery dark brown with light gray spots, similar to the cover of some kind of marine mollusk. Some of the extra eyes grow on these coverings, but in fact they are just hard shells that resemble barnacles. The monster's legs were long and short, and the lower end of the shorter one split into several tentacles with suction cups, which also grew on his arms. As for the head, a rough humanoid figure could still be seen, but the miserable white translucent skin that looked like it had been soaked in the sea for months, and the dark red worms wriggling under the skin had proved to everyone that the human skull was no longer in his brain.

"Helpβ€”" The monster staggered, stretching out its tentacle arm towards the few people on the side of the road, one of his eyeballs had naturally slipped down from the loss of its socket, and hung on the dough through the muscles behind it. And after witnessing such a thing, it is conceivable how those few people who were just randomly singled out by One-Eye would react.

"Monster!" "Demon! It's a demon!" In this case, no one cared to protect Peg, and they ran in the direction they had come, and disappeared without a trace in a few seconds. It can't be blamed for their lack of courage, the unknown is always the main source of human fear, and their departure happens to be convenient for Peg.

The little witch sighed, her face showing no panic, as if the monster running towards her was just a person who was not very good-looking. "I guess that's what it's like to be home. Peg said, his green hair rising and falling like waves under the influence of the magic, "but I really hate it." Especially when I haven't gotten home yet, Kirly. ”

"Boom!" a huge wave crashed against the cliff, making a sound that seemed to crush the continent. But it failed to break the rock wall that had stood here for an unknown number of years, and could only smash itself into countless splashes of water in anger. And these droplets fluttered in the sunlight and sea breeze, drifting in the direction of the rock face, slowly like snowflakes.

The colorless sea water touched the green hair, and in an instant it emitted a pale white mist, which rose and spread, enveloping and protecting the small figure in it. Peg doesn't like fighting, but as one of the two Kouira's handpicked to follow her to the lion to hunt down defectors, she is no slouch for fighting. The witch's magic is different from the Grey Robe, the source is different, the principle is even more distant, and as a spellcaster from the harbor, the sea is her most common and proficient medium.

The sea-smelling mist enveloped Peg and quickly consumed the monster and the colored plants around him. As the fog spreads, the trees and vegetation shrouded in it are shrinking at a rate visible to the naked eye, and their surfaces are condensed with large grains of salt, while the main body becomes fragile and rickety as if all the water has been drained.

"Nothing can grow on the land irrigated by seawater. If it weren't for the fact that the whole world was washing it with water, the salt in the ocean would be enough to salt all the living things in the world. Peg muttered to herself, something she had heard from other older witches as a child. Seawater is undrinkable because it is too mixed for terrestrial creatures, but it is such a liquid that breeds fish that far outnumber cattle and sheep. Is the sea water of life or the water of death? Is the ocean the origin of life, or the graveyard of all things? This is a question for witches who call the sea home.

"Click, click" salt grains fall off the attached plane due to their weight, leaving a lifeless world. The monstrous monster had fallen to the ground like a salted fish that had been marinated in a salt bucket for too long. Peg had always hated salted fish, and his dead body could not rest under the processing of salt. The little witch stepped on the grains of salt on the ground, walked over to the monster's corpse, and found a bag of coins from his torn clothes. She gently opened the purse and took out two gold coins with the octopus emblem and placed them on the deceased's eyes. It is said that this will allow them to take care of their journey to the underworld.

"A witch's money can't be touched. It seems that no one has taught you. Peg shook his head as he looked at the corpse with the gold coin in his eyes. Then she looked at the skeletal rocks in the distance, "I thought I wouldn't see this thing again, I'm sorry." ”
