Chapter 53: The House of the Witches

The will of this world is the will of the dragon, and although even the second generation of elemental dragon gods are rarely worshipped now, and are replaced by the three generations of gods who rose after the 'War of Elders', when Lear woke up from his sleep and felt the great changes inside and outside his body, he deeply understood the meaning of this sentence.

But when Lear was about to open his arms to the enthusiastic cheers of the people of Sarabhutto half a day later, he found that he was in front of him a vast wood, and it seemed that they had not left the Forest of No Return after five days.

So this is lost?

"Who led the way?"

Lear looked back at the crowd.

And they all looked at him in unison.

Well, it doesn't matter.

In fact, the direction of the team was correct until this morning, but because Lear had been thinking about things in his head since he woke up, and the excitement brought to him by the changes he sensed outside his body also made him completely distracted, plus he was at the front of the team, and the people who didn't know it had to follow him all the way, thinking that he had a new destination.

Of course, the players, who were accustomed to Lear's rhythm, did not expect such an ending.

"Mlak and Ivo, go and see where we are, the half-day journey shouldn't be too far away, make sure you are below and go back. ”

Lear said helplessly, let's just think it's an outing.

Twenty minutes later, the Fat Scout and the Elven Scout returned at the same time.

"We should be west of Sarabuto by now, and I have reached the top of a hill from which it will take us about a day to go back. ”

Mlak returns first.

"I went into the woods over there, but found a couple of harpy witches hovering deeper down, I didn't alarm them because they were too far away, do you need to see them, sir?"

Ivo added.

"Harpy?"

Lear struggled to think of something in his mind that could have anything to do with the Harpy Witch hovering in the forest, but luckily it didn't take long for him to think of a possibility, and a happy smile appeared on his lips.

"Let's go, let's see, maybe there's something in the forest waiting for us guests from afar. ”

He gently tugged on the horse's leash and headed towards the forest under Ivo's guidance.

Ivo's description of the deeper part of the argument was apparently vague, as it wasn't until two hours later that Lear saw the white wings hovering in the sky at the end of his line of sight.

Are the eyes of these wood elves made of optical telescopes?

"How far is it?"

Lear tugged at the reins gently, and from the height of the witches hovering in the air, he couldn't determine the distance, giving him the feeling that the place they were going to now was probably a low-lying valley.

"Wait a minute, sir, I'll take a look. ”

After saying that, Ivo jumped up from his horse and jumped directly onto the tree, and after a few jumps, Lear could no longer see his back clearly, the goddess of the forest gave and cared for the wood elves really very much.

"Sir, there is a valley less than three kilometers further on, and I have checked the roads that have not gone down all around, and we may need to dismount and walk by then. ”

Ivo reappears in the woods a few minutes later, crouching on a branch and shouting to Lear.

"Let's go. ”

I hope that that place will not disappoint you, because according to the setting, it takes a little luck to get into that kind of place.

As they approached the edge of the valley, Lear's party came under attack from the air, and the harpy witches had grabbed a large number of rocks from nowhere to strike them, shouting at them to get back.

When Lear pulls a magic scroll from his bosom and begins to chant a magic spell, the ugly youkai scream and flee.

After arranging for the orcs to guard the horses and supplies with Mrak, Lear asked Haq to carry him on his back and began to climb down, as the slightly steep slope was still difficult for the thin mage, but when he offered that Adela could ride with him on the free Lifu, he was refused.

The female mage said she could go down, much to Lear's frustration.

In the middle of the valley, there was a huge banyan tree covering an area of tens of meters, and on top of the banyan tree there was a delicate treehouse, and some obvious elemental magic fluctuations came out of the treehouse, and Lear felt it refreshed after feeling it.

"Let me go, it takes etiquette to visit the master. ”

Lear said to the savage, and Haag bent slightly to put him on the ground.

"Hello, Greetings from Faraway Sarabuto Mage Lear, could you please come out and meet your esteemed lady. ”

Standing under the big banyan tree, he raised his voice slightly but shouted overhead as unobtrusively as possible.

The wooden door opened, and a slender figure came out.

"I don't remember seeing you, so where did you know I was a lady?"

Tina leaned against the wooden railing and looked curiously at the boy below, her half-elf blood making her look particularly beautiful in the midst of greenery.

"There is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, and the arrangement of the goddess of fate is always full of surprises. ”

Lear had a pretending expression of 'mountain people have their own tricks'.

"Are you really a magician? As far as I know, there have never been any magicians in the human race as young as you, oh or a little presumptuous, you should be young. ”

Tina teased with a spring breeze on her face.

"It's like a fake. ”

Lear pointed to the two shiny bars on his chest, which meant that I was not only a magician, but also a second-level one.

"Then you can come up and sit for a while, and the little girl beside you, and as for the others, please forgive me that this hut cannot accommodate so many people standing together. ”

After saying this, Tina turned and walked into the house, she didn't ask Lear and the others all the time, and she didn't seem to worry about the danger these strangers would bring to her.

Before Lear walks up the carousel of the banyan tree, Ivo says that he can go to the opposite tree to keep an eye, but he tells the wood elves to just wait down in peace and not hurt the harpy witches if they return.

"Hello dear lady, allow me to introduce myself to you once again, Lear from the Sarabuto Mage Guild, this is my companion, Miss Adra. ”

He stood in front of the low table in the middle of the cabin, bowing slightly to each other with Adra.

"Very polite little one, you can call me Tina. ”

The half-elf smiled softly and pushed two cups of tea with a slight magic power to the edge of the low table in front of them.

"Thank you very much for your hospitality, Ms. Tina. ”

Lear asked Adela to kneel with him on the meadow in front of the low table, and said with his hands on his knees.

"Have you heard of me? Why do you give me the impression that you know me very well, and why do you call me a teacher?"

Tina looked at the teenager opposite curiously, the other party brought her a really strange feeling, the first meeting actually gave her a strange idea that everything was under the control of the other party, and this teenager seemed to know a lot about herself, but she was extremely sure that they had not crossed paths with each other before.

"No, I have never heard of you, I am only drawn to you by your vast knowledge and profound wisdom. ”

Lear looked serious.

"Poof!"

This time Tina was really smiling.

"Do all children nowadays be able to talk like you?"

Any lady, especially a beautiful lady, will always be happy with heartfelt appreciation, especially for qualities other than her looks, especially when she really has such qualities.

"Tell me, little one, what do you want from me?"

Tina sat upright from the meadow, and she didn't look like she had the same languid and feminine beauty and seduction as before, but her sparkling eyes revealed her wisdom more profoundly.

"Like this cup of tea, if it is a gift of kindness from you, I long for more of your teachings, which I will remember for the rest of my life. ”

Lear flicked his finger into the glass, and the turbulent water began to reverberate with a distinct trace of the flow of magical elements.
