Chapter Eighty-Four: The Witch Branch
After getting out of the carriage, in the coachman's somewhat flattered look, a certain magical girl handed over a few silver coins to the other party as the cost of the two's ride. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Stopping at the doorstep of a large and magnificent building, the coachman's attitude had obviously become more respectful, and after accepting the silver coins, he took off his hat in the carriage seat with some restraint, covered his chest and bowed slightly, and saluted Alex and Xia respectively, before driving the carriage away.
"Tsk, this is the nest of your witch's hand?"
After nodding to a certain departing coachman, Xia couldn't help but raise his head and began to look at the building in front of him that was similar to the cathedral he had seen in the previous world, although in terms of style, the two were not similar, compared to those religious buildings, the building in front of him was a little less solemn, a little more weird, well, like the two stone statues in front of its gate.
It was a kind of creature statue that Xia had never seen before, about ten meters high, and its appearance and physique looked like a dragon in some Western European mythology in her previous life, with wings on her back, a long neck and a long tail, but it was completely different in details, although they were all like a big lizard monster, but the wings were more like the wings of a bat, light and thin, with a high crown on the head, and a spindle-shaped thing on the tail, the forelimbs were erect, the hind limbs were bent and squatting, one left and one right stood on both sides of the gate, it looked quite mighty, a bit of suppression and evil spirits。
"But even if these two strange things were erected, weren't they still stolen by some thieves......?
Natsu squinted his eyes and stared straight into the statue's eyes, and muttered something in his mouth, obviously with a disapproving expression.
"Get in. ”
Ignoring the guy's slander, Alexie stepped on the steps with her feet up, her movements familiar, and it was clear that the magical girl had been in and out of the country for a long time.
In this regard, Xia Ye just shrugged his shoulders and raised his heels.
But then, she quickly gained a deeper understanding of the so-called Witch's Hand Vilidi City Branch.
Because she found that there were no guards or anything like that, and the door was so open that it seemed that any person could easily walk in without being stopped and questioned by anyone, as she did now.
Moreover, there are not many people in this branch, and along the way, except for the occasional encounter of a few scattered people in strange black robes in the corridors or some halls and other places, there is no kind of crowded and lively scene as Xia expected, it seems that these people are busy with each other, and they are not very familiar with each other, and the relationship is very unfamiliar.
However, when I saw a certain magical girl walking with me, there were many people who bowed in the direction of Alex with their right hand and touched their foreheads, with a respectful attitude, which seemed to be a kind of etiquette between magicians, and Xia was quite curious in his heart.
"Hmm... Little girl, you seem to be very deserted here!"
After following Alexie up the spiral staircase and through the corridor for a long time, Natsu finally asked the doubts in her heart, and all this in front of her was really a little unexpected for her.
Hearing her words, Alex turned her head to glance at her, but she felt that everything here was very normal, and asked her, "Oh, what do you think we should be like here?"
"Well...... this"
Xia Wei groaned, and then said some of the scenes he had envisioned before: "At least it looks like a busy place: such as busy magicians coming in and out, branch insiders who undertake and issue tasks, services such as item trading, and so on, but unfortunately, I don't seem to see any of them here." ”
"Hmph, these things you are describing are scenes that only appear in the Chamber of Commerce Merchant Houses or the mercenaries and bounty hunters and their unions!"
Alexie's footsteps paused, as if she was a little upset by what this guy said, she snorted coldly, and said in a solemn tone: "Our 'Witch's Hand' is an organization established by many magicians, and the people in the 'Witch's Hand' will only have one identity, and that is magicians!"
"Unlike mercenaries and bounty hunters, we don't live with the tasks issued by the 'Witch's Hand', here, we are more exchanging knowledge in the field of magic with each other, exchanging each other for the magic materials we need, except for a few principled rules, the organization does not have too many rules and regulations to restrict our actions, so, compared to the well-organized management union or organization you mentioned, we do seem a little 'lonely' here!"
As she walked, Alexie spoke to her through a psychic connection, but with a somewhat unfriendly tone of attitude.
"Uh...... And what is the mission you took on to 'reclaim the Dream Crown'?"
After listening to Alexie's narration, Xia couldn't help frowning, and felt a little strange in his heart.
Because,According to the various information she got before,This mission doesn't look like a mission like the mercenary union in the mouth of a magical girl?A certain cat also said that Alexie took this task on her own initiative.,Make her think in advance that the organization to which this magical girl belongs,It's similar to the killer organization in her previous life.,It's all by taking missions to get the money or property she wants.。
"It's an emergency, it's a special situation, it's not the norm, understand?" Alexie paused, blue eyes staring straight at her.
“...... Uh, well, I don't ask. ”
Xia Ye could only follow and stop, she was a little uncomfortable stared at by the serious eyes of a certain magical girl, so she had to pretend to be casual with her expression.
Because she could see that this little girl obviously didn't want to reveal too much information to herself, but she didn't really have any dissatisfaction with herself, which she could still understand.
Seeing this, Alexie nodded in satisfaction and continued to walk forward.
Soon, the two of them came down a long corridor to a rotunda, and then, Alexie pointed in the direction of a spiral staircase, and said to her, "Okay, I'm going to meet someone now, report on the mission, and you stay here for the time being, don't run around, you know?"
"Running around, who do you think I am? To me, you're the kind of young and ignorant little ghost!"
In the face of such words from a certain magical girl, Xia just waved his hand impatiently, as if he was angry because he was told by a little girl who was much younger than himself.
However, Alexie was not deceived by this guy's acting skills, and just stared at her with an inexplicable look, as if warning something: "You know what I'm talking about, Natsu!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I promise to keep your curiosity in check, don't wander, don't move, you're satisfied, right?"
Seeing that she couldn't fool this little girl, she had no choice but to swear to the sky and promise, but then her tone changed: "However, can't you let me go with me?"
"Inconvenient. ”
In this regard, Alex shirked it.
"Is that person inconvenient, or are you inconvenient?"
Someone's eyes narrowed, and he continued to ask in a suspicious tone.
"Me!"
A certain magical girl snorted coldly and replied in an unkind tone.
"Oh, well, got it. ”
Someone 'snapped', snapped his fingers, looked like 'I know', and then made a 'please feel free' action, calmly accepting the other party's arrangement.
Seeing her reaction, Alex didn't say anything, but took one last look at the guy, and then stepped up the circular staircase and walked to the door of a certain room.
"Hey, this little girl, made it mysterious, must have this?"
Watching Alexie knock on the door of the room, she only walked in again after getting a response from a mysterious voice, and closed the door, so that Natsu, who was standing at the bottom of the stairs, couldn't help but pout, and muttered a word a little disappreciatively.
Although she was a little upset by the other party's vigilance and vigilance, she was not the kind of person who liked to be more serious, so naturally she didn't care too much, but her eyes began to look at everything in this hall. Then, her eyes were drawn to a mural on the wall of the hall, and she quickly put these little things behind her.
"Hmm......"
She had only studied it for a moment, and before she could figure out what the huge mural seemed to be about some epic myth or something it was trying to express, a strange voice sounded not far behind her---
"I know you!"
Suddenly, her heart was shocked, and she secretly said that she was too careless, and she would let others come behind her unconsciously.
However, when she saw what was being spoken, she didn't know what to say.
"By the way, do you cats walk silently?"
Xia turned around and looked at the other party and asked.
For there was nothing but a cat with a pure black coat staring at her with its vertical pupils, glowing in the slightly dimly lit hall......
