Chapter 8, The Wizard and Alice (1)
"Hey, Leon, how many times have I told you that you are not allowed to dig up the honeycomb without permission!" retorted a young girl in a flowered skirt who was gathering mushrooms in a basket under a large tree by the stream.
"Alice, I tell you solemnly! I am a boy! I will be a future knight of the Knights of the Silver Hand! I need fearless courage! Please don't use your soft feminine mind to stop my courage test," cried out a young boy who was still in the stage of children's voice!
"Don't talk nonsense with me! I'm your sister!" the girl sneered, put down the basket and reached out to pat the little boy on the top of the head: "When you grow taller than me, you can go to the so-called courage test!"
"You are a bully!" the little boy suddenly shouted aggrievedly, "Last Sunday, you took advantage of the absence of my father and mother to snatch my knight's spear!"
"What knight's spear! That's obviously the clothes pole I'm using! I'll wash your clothes, and you won't come to help dry them, and you're going to use the clothes pole as a knight's spear?" The girl struck her brother disdainfully, "You know what? The real knight is a brave man like Rolf, and at your age, he has already hunted a stag alone! And you are a little kid who can only use your sister's clothes pole to play a game of knight dragon quest!"
"You bastard!" the little boy Leon was obviously hurt by his sister's merciless blow, and his mouth immediately flattened, and tears were already rolling in his eyes.
"Yo, future Holy Knight, why are you so angry with a woman that you are crying?
"I swear you'll regret it! When I become a knight, I'll marry you to the oldest and ugliest widower!" Leon threatened angrily.
"You're still worried about your ass today!Hmph!Your sister and I, the future must be the wife of Lord Rolf, the Holy Knight!" The girl glanced at her brother with contempt, but she couldn't hide her admiration for the man named Rolf. Although the girl is not yet big, she has also reached the age of starting to conceive spring.
"Brother Rolf won't want you to be a stupid girl who will stop me from completing the test of courage!" Leon pouted as he rubbed the top of his sister's beaten head.
"You little boy knows a! I'll ...... Rolf Hmph, you don't understand!, I'm going to be Madame Rolf!", the little girl said, her expression turning into a longing for the future or a memory.
The little boy stuck out his tongue angrily and grimaced at his sister. A strange scream came out of his mouth!
"Want to be beaten again?" Alice suddenly crossed her hands on her hips and stared viciously at her brother, who could only reach her chest.
Stretching out his hand to give him another blow on the head, he should educate this nasty ghost who doesn't know how to respect himself.
Suddenly, a large hand burning with raging flames suddenly stretched out from the depths of the dense forest. In the stunned eyes of the two siblings, they slapped the big tree stump beside them!
Rumble!
There was an explosion, and the entire stump first exploded, and then the wooden blocks flying all over the sky burst into flames!
"Ahh
"Who?"
Two completely different exclamations, the girl's face was pale, and Leon, a little boy with no temper who had been bullied by his sister, stepped in front of his sister. Use your young body to block the girl behind you!
"Stupid mortal!" a cold snort came from the depths of the jungle, and as soon as the words fell, another large flaming hand reached out and stopped above the girl's head under the frightened eyes of the two siblings.
As the head tilted down, the silky blonde hair began to curl slightly in the fiery heat.
"Shut up, mortal!" the evil voice came again, and for some reason, the frightened siblings seemed to be trapped in a world full of lava.
They were just ordinary people, without the divine protection of the gladiatorial arena which guarded the holy knights. In the face of this destructive power, the soul was greatly shocked.
Alice stood in place, her pretty face as pale as paper. Leon in front of him is even more hairstand all over his body!
"Wu... Wizard?" Leon asked in horror.
"Boom...... The little one has some knowledge!" The voice from the depths of the jungle let out an eerie laugh, and the large flaming hand hovering above the two of them deliberately lowered it a few points again.
"Don't ......," Alice screamed in fear, but she didn't dare to run away. I can only pull my younger brother and squat.
"Little mortal girl, what's your name?" the strange wizard spoke again.
"Alice!" replied the little girl in a trembling voice, for fear that a bad one would be burned to ashes by the great hand of the flame.
"What about you, little boy!" the wizard continued.
"Leon!" replied the little boy through pretended to be strong, gritting his teeth.
"Well, yes, brave Leon, I need you to do a trivial thing for me! For the sake of your dear sister Miss Alice's life, will you help the king of flames?"
"I'm just an ordinary boy, I'm afraid I won't be able to help His Excellency the Mighty Flame King!" the little boy swallowed, slightly moistening his dry throat.
"It's just a small thing, I need some food and a few clothes and shoes! I think your father's clothes and shoes should be suitable!" said the evil wizard hidden deep in the jungle.
Suddenly, the wizard's tone changed to that of evil: "Of course, in order to make your dear Leone child obedient, your sister, beautiful Miss Alice, will remain here as a hostage! I don't want to see a witcher or a holy knight enter this area! Otherwise, you will only have to bring back a charred corpse named Alice before you died!"
Silence, after a brief silence, Leon suddenly tried to stand up.
was held by Alice.
"Alice, let go!" Leon shook Alice away, stood up, and said in the most cautious tone of a young boy's life, "Your Excellency the Mighty Flame King! Wish...... I hope you don't hurt my sister!"
"If you don't want her to be hurt, then you can hurry up and complete the task I gave you! Remember to warn your parents not to have any bad intentions!" the wizard in the depths of the jungle urged coldly, and finally did not forget to warn again.
Leon looked at his pale, bloodless sister, as if he wanted to say something more.
A cold snort came from the depths of the jungle, and the flame hand pressed down fiercely: "The patience of the Flame King is limited!"
The evil wizard directly interrupted the last conversation between the two siblings, and Leon, who had no choice but to turn his head and run towards the village.
"Beautiful Miss Alice, please come to me!" the evil wizard let out an eerie laugh, sending a terrifying invitation to the little girl who aspired to be the Lady of the Holy Knight.
