Chapter 205: The Past Is Like Smoke
"Bastard, shut up!" Hansel was furious when he heard Mona insult his parents. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info was angry that she had deceived herself for a long time, and with a sword he struck the old witch on the head.
The sword slashed into Mona's body with ease, but she couldn't move a single bit. Mona's wound from the sword's wound was quickly repaired, and the sword grew directly on the witch's body.
"Quack...... The little one really can't hold his breath, and he doesn't want to continue to hear me about your affectionate father!" Mona smirked, not minding Hansel's attacks on him.
Han Sayer couldn't help but feel a trace of panic in his heart: "Hasn't your cultivation been ruined by Kach?"
"Ruined...... Haha, you believe such an idiot's reason, it's really a simple child!" Mona kept claiming that her mana had been absorbed by Kach in order to get close to Hansel and his party, and that she was just an old lady who still had a little bit of pharmacy.
"Say something nasty, use your pig brain, a person without the slightest spell can live for hundreds of years?" Mona raised her hand and gently brushed the sword stuck in her body. The Paladin's longsword, which had been obtained from the Holy See, began to wooden at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon turned into a long vine. Countless branches and roots grew from the inside of the vine and wound around Hansel's body.
Hansel wanted to let go, but found that his right hand was already with the hilt of the sword, and he could only watch as the roots bound him.
"Roar ......" Han Sayer raised his head to the sky and roared, but the surging werewolf aura was absorbed by the roots of those plants on his body as soon as it appeared, and the werewolf transformation that he had always relied on so much had no effect at all.
"Well, isn't it amazing. This arabestry from the ancient druids was reborn in my hands, and I transformed it into a wonderful plant that could absorb any energy to grow. I think back then, the vine demon Monake was also the existence of the shock side!" The old witch said proudly, her originally cloudy eyes suddenly glowing with bright brilliance, "It's a pity that the most difficult thing in this world is the world, especially in this era of the end of the law, immortality is almost a luxury. No matter how wonderful you were back then, in the end it was just a pile of loess!"
"Hmph, don't you witches generally have a lifespan of hundreds of years?" Hansel struggled but found that the vine did exist. Not only the power of the werewolf's bloodline, but even his own qi and blood seem to be slowly draining.
"Universal? no, no...... That's just your lack of understanding of witches. Most witches and wizards live in isolation in the mountains and forests, and some have no connection with secular society throughout their lives. Especially with the gradual growth of the power of the Holy See, our living space is even narrower!" Mona said coldly: "In the long dark ages, most of the wizards were immortal, and even basic survival was a problem. The reason why many people think that witches have a long life span is because most of the spells practiced by witches are harmful to heaven and harmony, and their vitality is seriously overdrawn, so they always appear to be old and decayed. The most important thing is that only some people with advanced magic power will often appear in the eyes of the world, giving people the illusion that witches are all powerful. ā
"Then you're a man with advanced powers, aren't you?" said Han Sell, sneering disdainfully. Pick up his relationship with Mona, but he has known it since he was sent to the Black Forest camp. Mona even served as an underground informant for the Holy See for a time, and many of the Holy See's cleansing of heretics was leaked by this old witch. Otherwise, Hansel would not have brought Mona directly to Chenxi and the others, and would not have trusted her many words, and recommended her to take over the position of Aunt Laksiu after the Black Forest incident.
"Well, I'm barely a strong man, but the methods I use to prolong my life have many drawbacks!" Mona nodded after a slight pause. "Speaking of which, your father Leon and I are indeed childhood sweethearts and grew up together. Even you may not know that we were born in a small wizarding village on the edge of the Black Forest!"
"Wizard Village, in the Black Forest?" said Hansel, who heard her talk about her father, and couldn't help but be curious. He had served in the Black Forest camp for many years, and naturally knew that the Holy See had spared no effort in purging the Black Forest infidels.
"At that time, the Black Forest did not want to be like it is now, it was more than three times larger than it is now, and countless pagan organizations that were cornered under the oppression of the Holy See were hiding there, and under the cover of that dense jungle, even the Holy See had nothing to do. Mona recalled with some distraction, and could see that she was very satisfied with that part of her life. "There are no crazy cultists, no monks of the Holy See. Countless chaotic organizations and beliefs mingled together to resist the persecution of that behemoth. We have our own villages and bazaars, and we follow certain rules of survival with each other. There is only one purpose, which is to survive in that dark age. ā
"What happened to that village?"
"Hehe, after the advent of the industrial age, trees were cut down on a large scale. The peaceful life was no longer there, and finally one day the Holy See and the Council joined forces to burn it down. But by that time, your father and I had been gone for a long time. It's a pity that I didn't fight for it!" Mona said with a little sadness, she had been drawing something in the surrounding clearing since she restrained Hansel's movements, and a slightly complicated circle was slowly taking shape.
Han Sell looked at the magic circle and couldn't help but feel a sense of horror in his heart: "Then where did you and my father go?"
"We grew up in the village until we were fourteen years old, and at that time I only wanted to open a potion shop in the village, but Leon was more curious about the outside world. Mona smiled bitterly, "In order to accompany him, I ruthlessly sold the shop left by my parents, got on a gypsy caravan with him, and left home!"
"......" Hansel didn't know what to say about this, and from this point of view, his father did owe a lot to the other party.
"We traveled a lot together, but it was a time when there was war everywhere. It was a time when life was as cheap as grass, and those poor people of the world had nothing but faith. I started to get tired of that life and wanted to go home with Leon. Mona's tone began to grow cold, "But Leon didn't want to, and the two of us argued about it for a long time, until one morning he quietly left. ā
"And then, what happened to you?" Hansel seemed drawn to the story of the two.
"Later, I returned to the village and opened a potion shop as my parents had hoped. And Leon came back with a scar on a dark night!I was so happy that I took good care of him, hoping that he would stay forever!" Mona looked self-deprecating, "He has lived with me in the village for a long time, and every day he studies some ancient documents. Although I struggled to manage the whole family, I once thought that I had got what I wanted and lived the life I wanted the most. ā
