Chapter 40: The Snow Witch (2)

As time went on, the Snow Witch appeared more and more frequently in the town, even breaking into someone's house from time to time to ask for a child. Many local residents couldn't stand it www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion and evacuated overnight.

This terrible witch seems to have a mental problem, often wandering the streets late at night, asking passers-by some inexplicable questions. If the answer is incorrect, or if it doesn't meet her wishes, she will be immediately frozen into an ice sculpture and taken away.

The people who remain here now are either lonely men and widows, or old people who have no way to live and cannot abandon their homeland, or hunters who have been hired to hunt down the Snow Witch.

After listening to the shopkeeper's account, Yalei felt a little relieved, feeling that these had nothing to do with him at all. If he wasn't haunted by demonic fire now, suffering every night, maybe he would still have the heart to help a group of people here. The current situation, I really don't have time to care about this matter, I will leave immediately after the repair, and tell the above about the situation here when I have time.

After instructing the night watchman to be vigilant, the black-haired knight returned to his room, which had been plagued by demonic fire for the past few nights, and had been carried by others, and he had been shaking very it.

......

The moonlight shines through the paper, leaving a faint white glow on the rough wooden floor, and the smell of mosquito-repellent spices lingers in the air.

According to the usual rules, Bruno stayed alone in the small single room, which was originally a place for clutter to be piled up, and was temporarily cleaned up by everyone to make his room. Clark slept next door, sleepy, snoring so sweetly that it sounded like he was stewing a pot of pig's head.

The silver-haired boy finished his fighting spirit, his energy was slightly scattered, and he was soon infected by the other party's snoring, and he yawned sleepily, and fell on the bed, relaxing his muscles and falling into a deep sleep.

After about two or three hours, Kara, who was in charge of the vigil, pushed him twice and woke him up. The other party gave a few words of advice with sleepy eyes, and then plunged into the bed of the silver-haired young man, and as soon as his head touched the pillow, the snoring suddenly sounded.

“......”

Bruno rubbed his eyes and walked to the bathroom, rinsed his mouth with salt and cold water, then picked up a handful of water and wiped his face, then walked downstairs to the hall and stood guard in front of the door with several Scourge Knights.

"It's a bit cold. ”

"Yes, you see, the mosquitoes are freezing to death. ”

"It's a strange weather here, it's so hot during the day and colder than Celtic at night. ”

The knights in charge of the night watch chatted with each other, and walked two steps from time to time to ward off the cold.

According to common sense, the common sense of this place should not exist in winter, but the temperature tonight was very low, so low that the silver-haired boy began to feel uncomfortable.

Soon, Bruno suddenly had a whim, and inexplicably had a sense of foreboding, as if there was an unusual atmosphere in the town.

At this time, the sky was far from dawn, the silver-haired boy took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, the time was just early in the morning, in order to avoid accidents, he stood by the door frame and looked out.

Under the deep blue night sky, the stars are like jewels dotted on the sky, sprinkling a crystal soft light, and the moon squeezes out of the clouds with a silvery glow.

The town was as silent as a cemetery, except for the inn where everyone was staying, and there was still a little light, and the rest of the buildings were bathed in deep darkness. Occasionally, one or two shrill wolf howls came from afar, and it was extremely harsh in this secluded environment.

Bruno was about to call someone to patrol around the inn twice, but he didn't expect someone to appear on the streets of the town at this time, and the figure was dragged on the ground by the moonlight, looking very lonely.

It was a noblewoman with long snow-white hair, and she was wearing a white velvet dress, and the skirt rippled in the moonlight as she moved. Although she is old, the years have left wrinkles on her forehead and the back of her hands, but because of these wrinkles, she looks noble and arrogant.

In the cold wind of the midnight, her clothes looked very thin, but she didn't seem to feel a little discomfort, but instead revealed a cold chill of dead silence and desolation - especially those blue eyes, which seemed to contain an infinite amount of wind and snow, which could freeze the world at any time.

"Who are you?"

The silver-haired young man felt that this person was very dangerous, and then warned him: "This is our station, please leave immediately, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”

“......”

The lady in white stopped her steps when she heard this, her eyes swept over the hotel, and the two oil lamps in front of the door suddenly flickered, and the light seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

Bruno could clearly feel that when those eyes swept past him, it was like a cold cold snap passing by, and the sound of ice edges breaking was also heard in his ears.

"My son is gone. ”

She suddenly spoke, her eyes staring at the night sky in the distance, her face showing a look of longing and loneliness, and said in a low and slightly trembling voice:

"He has always been very well-behaved and obedient, he was fine yesterday, but today he is gone, and his family is too, and he has been made a mess. As she spoke, the lady in white's gaze slid to Bruno, sighed, with anticipation in her eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Do you see my son?"

"Your son?"

The silver-haired boy was confused, and then shook his head:

"No, I haven't, we're all travelers here, and we don't have your son. ”

"Really, he's not going to run around...... I should have gone to the backyard to find it. ”

She sighed, and the air rippled white, and sparkling ice particles sprinkled onto the ground, reflecting a rainbow everywhere she passed.

Before he could finish speaking, a huge flash of light suddenly appeared in front of Bruno, and he couldn't open his eyes, only to hear a long dragon roar, and in an instant the whole town shook.

After a few moments, the silver-haired boy regained his sight, and the lady in front of him was gone, but there was a crashing sound behind him. When he looked back, he found that the shopkeeper had run out wearing only a pair of underwear, and he knelt down in the place where the light had disappeared, kowtowing like pounding garlic, and his mouth was still repeating a certain sentence.

......

Two hours later, after Bruno and Lydia had finished changing guards, they immediately approached Yare and reported what had happened.

The black-haired knight had just survived the pain of the demonic fire at this time, and his whole body was burned in a mess, and his brain was dazed, so that the silver-haired boy repeated it several times before he roughly understood what had happened before.

"That's probably the snow witch that the shopkeeper said, maybe it's a dragon, maybe it's a dragon-shaped goblin with powerful mana, and it's enough to scourge this town. ”

Yalei guessed the identity of the noblewoman, and then waved his hand disappretently: "But it has nothing to do with us, she will find her son if she looks for her, and we must also hurry up to find the Blade of Time, and don't meddle with it for the time being." ”

"That's right. ”

The silver-haired boy nodded, not taking this matter to heart, anyway, whether her son is dead or alive has nothing to do with them.

"Go and rest. ”

The black-haired knight watched Bruno leave, and in order to maintain his energy, he closed his eyes and went into a meditative state until the newborn sun illuminated the town.
