The suction pulled the air with a piercing screech, and a large amount of air swirled through the village, carrying countless dust rags to the center of the village. The bottomless black void swirls in a swirling shape, replacing the mansion in the center of the courtyard, suspended in the grassy ground, like the eye of a storm swallowing up the sweeping turbulence.

The edges twist and distort the sunlight to form a translucent outline encased in a black void, while at the same time radiating itself in the form of particles, fading away at an angle opposite to the storm's currents.

Within the translucent outline close to the earth, a spherical orange curtain of light swayed with the traction, disintegrating and then rapidly healing, squirming towards the periphery of the courtyard little by little. 、

In the spherical light curtain, Clark supported the shield with a muffled voice, Nicole was lying on the ground with a bitter face, and Beverly with a confused expression was sandwiched between the two, and the three of them were stacked like sandwiches.

At this moment, the female knight looked like a large turtle, carrying an orange turtle shell on her back, ten fingers piercing into the ground, carrying the suction and recoil airflow, and moving her body with difficulty.

Damn it...... What kind of weird thing is this......

Nicole Turtle carried the rickety "shell" on its back, stabilized its body in the twisted outline of the water ripples, and squirmed forward with all her might.

Due to the very strong suction from the black hollow, she tends to climb three steps and be dragged back by the suction for two steps.

Ten slender and deep ravines remained on the grass as the female knight crawled, and Clark on her back was already bleeding blood from her ears and nose due to continuous overload.

Beverly, which is minced as a sandwich, doesn't have much to consume. It's just that I rolled my eyes, and I was squeezed into a color photo.

Fifty steps...... Forty-nine steps...... Forty-eight steps......

Nicole held her head high, and her muscles and bones rattled with force. His eyes were fixed in the direction of the gate, and he silently counted the distance between each other.

In the process, she discovered a strange phenomenon, the terrible black void behind her could even swallow the air current, but she couldn't help the weeds on the ground.

The dense weeds in the courtyard were straightened and suppressed by the air current, and fell to the ground in the direction of the black hollow, but not like anything else. Uprooted by invisible traction.

The knight paid attention to the wild grass in front of her, which was straightened by the wind, and felt that these plants, which looked like weeds, probably had the magical ability to resist the suction of the black hollow.

But of course, Nicole doesn't have the energy to test this idea now. She had to crawl to relative safety before Clark was tired and Beverly was squeezed into a picture.

Like a hulking tortoise, the female knight staggered through the grass for ten minutes, reaching behind the wooden fence on the perimeter of the courtyard with both hands. Only then did I feel that the suction power had weakened to a tolerable range.

"Clark. That's it!"

She screamed, and the orange-yellow light curtain on her back shattered.

In the next second, the unconscious Clark and Beverly rolled on their sides and were wrapped in the air current, and quickly pulled into the air, but fortunately, Nicole grabbed their calves in a moment, and the two pulled back.

The female knight took the two of them back another twenty steps or so, Clark finally relented, and Beverly leaned on his scimitar to the ground. It can barely be swept away by the air current.

"Our shadow is back!" Clark looked at the shadow beneath his feet, and suddenly showed a relieved expression.

It turns out that you are the one who cares about this the most!

Beverly and Nicole turned their heads in unison. His eyes stared at him sharply, and the old face of the man who saw it turned red, and then he cast his eyes on the black hollow in the center of the courtyard.

In the center of the large field of weeds, the black void still floats quietly in place, constantly spraying thick particles like black mist in all directions, and the edges become thinner and more transparent.

"It's melting. ”

Beverly took a closer look at the scene, and noticed that the black, hollow body seemed to shrink slightly, especially at the edges of the perimeter, where the distorted translucent outline had significantly expanded.

"It seems to be afraid of the sun...... It's ...... Same with shadows. ”

Nicole narrowed her eyes, suddenly clenched her right fist, and slammed her arm forward, swinging a half-moon-shaped silver blade of light towards the black void in the distance.

Whoosh——!

The light blade that took the form of a straight shuttle deflected its trajectory halfway, shooting obliquely towards the black void, crashing into the depths of the whirlpool, and exploding countless broken black fragments with a "boom".

Buzz——!

A burst of gray fluctuations suddenly burst out between the heavens and the earth, the sunlight instantly dimmed a few brightness, and the entire black void instantly shrank inward, and at the same time, dozens of tentacles extended from the inside to the outside, shooting fiercely in the direction of the female knight.

However, before it spread out of the scope of the courtyard, it was like a dry and hard candle wax, frozen in the scope of the grass, and the black void squirmed wildly with a fierce air current, but it could not break through the scope of the grass, or even shrink back to its original shape.

"It's alive!"

Looking at the sea urchin-like black hole wriggling above the grass, Beverly only felt a tingling in his scalp.

"Shadow...... Is it really a shadow......"

Nicole glanced at the reflection at her feet, clasped her hands on her chest, and said with her eyebrows, "You remember, before we entered that courtyard, our own shadow was also fixed in place. ”

"Why is this happening, it doesn't make sense. Clark's eyes widened, apparently his mind hadn't turned.

"Could it be the grass!?"

Beverly turned to look at the female knight, only to see her nod slightly.

"I see......"

The red-haired boy had a look of understanding in his eyes, looked up at the black void that was decomposing and melting in the sun, and said quickly:

"No wonder the maid hid in the wine cabinet, no wonder the mansion was sealed in its entirety, surrounded by this kind of plant that specialized in restraining shadows...... This is where monsters live!"

"Monsters, would anyone raise such a dangerous thing?" Clark looked at him suspiciously.

"Obviously. ”

Nicole lifted her right leg and kicked her boyfriend lightly. With a look of hatred, he said: "Judging from the structure of the mansion and the layout of the courtyard, it is obvious that it is to prevent this kind of monster from escaping." ”

"That's what I said. What happens here has nothing to do with the Demonic Calamity, perhaps...... It's just a man-made experimental accident. Beverly frowned, a little uncertain.

"Why do you say that?" asked Clarke, despite the female knight's disgusted expression.

"The surrounding buildings show no signs of being destroyed, and although the corpses of the villagers look miserable, they barely retain their whole corpses, which is completely different from the style of cultists and monsters. ”

Beverly looked at the other with a sincere expression. Patiently explained: "So far, we haven't seen a single monster, and we haven't even felt the fluctuation of negative energy. Isn't it?"

"Wait!"

Nicole suddenly looked at him in surprise and bit her thin lip: "Where we came here, this monster has been imprisoned, so who will be the murderer of the villagers?"

"What can be confirmed at the moment. The maid must have been killed by it. ”

The red-haired boy once again cast his gaze on the sea urchin-shaped hollow above the meadow. Recalling the death scene of the villagers in his mind, he said carefully:

"The maid's body after death is the same as that of the villagers, obviously the same kind of murderer, combined with the situation of this monster being trapped, the only possibility is ...... There's more than one such monster in this village!"

“......”

Clark turned his head like lightning and looked at the lifeless village, the sky was still blue, and the surroundings were still quiet. The rags were still flying, and everything was the same as when they first entered.

"Don't worry. ”

Beverly patted him on the shoulder from behind. comforted: "This monster is photophobic, and most of the time it will not come out during the day." ”

"And what about the night?"

Clarke's expression became extremely serious, and he roared urgently: "If you let them leave the village at night and sneak into the big cities of the Highland Kingdom, they will definitely cause a great danger comparable to the demonic disaster! The boss will go crazy, maybe like last time!"

"You're right, we need to stop this catastrophe. ”

Beverly's body trembled involuntarily, and at the same time nodded vigorously, his eyes reached into the surrounding low houses, calculated the area of the village in his heart, and said with a smile:

"I don't think it would be too difficult for the two Scourge Knights to land before dark. ”

"Small meaning. ”

Nicole's eyes lit up, and she flicked her bangs on her forehead with her fingers, revealing an excited expression.

......

A dream world, an endless sea of flowers.

Like a carpet, the sunflower field stretches infinitely towards the horizon, and the center is raised high, forming a circular flower gallery that protrudes from the surface, and countless buildings of different styles combine patterns on this land.

In the center of the city, on the deep blue jewel-like water, a white castle embedded in the middle of the lake extends ten thousand steps on all sides, shallow covered with a layer of water lines, winding towards the outside of the city.

The ethereal sound of bells blows across the blue sky, the clear fountains play the melodious sound of water, and the blooming flowers are fragrant.

Everything is like a beautiful picture in a painting.

A flock of flower fairies laughed and played through the clouds, four stacks of thin wings gently flapping the air current, the shiny particles at the end escaping into the air, and slowly drifting to the ground like snow flocculents.

At the moment when the glitter particles submerged into the white jade floor, a circular convex surface was distorted in the space, and a row of red bows appeared, and a black cavity with countless lines of sight hidden inside slowly opened with the separated bows.

Out came a logo beauty in a long white fluffy dress, her beautiful long snow-white hair was sprinkled with a shawl, a black cotton armband was wrapped around her upper arm, the end of the white silk gloves overlapped with the armband, and she carried a small parasol in her hand.

The snow-white neck has a collar, the same color black cotton silk neck ring, the edge is white lace, and the dress is stacked from the tail net, like petals, layer by layer, up to the waist. The whole long skirt is narrower and narrower from the end to the waist, the lower end of the skirt is fluffy and wide, and the upper end of the skirt is tight and slender, outlining the beautiful line of the waist.

"Dream World...... Lord of Flowers. ”

Elena looked at the white castle at the end of the road, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, and her delicate willow eyebrows curved into a relaxed look.

Miss Witch Queens spread out her parasol and rested it lightly on her shoulder, swaying behind a toothed fairy who was happily counting the baby teeth collected in her pocket, not realizing that she was following a human at all.

The same goes for the elves who bustle by, completely ignoring Elena strolling along the Blossom Avenue, seemingly unaware of the human existence from beginning to end.

呲——呲——!

With the splashing arc, a space-time tunnel suddenly opened in the middle of the road, and huge mana fluctuations slowly vibrated in the space, distorting all the materials around it.

"Come here, little witch queen, and before I get angry, make it clear what you're trying to do here. ”

"Of course. ”

Miss Wu pursed her lips and smiled, and walked into the space-time tunnel with a natural expression, and her slender figure flickered twice like a mirror in the water, and then disappeared with the closure of the tunnel.

......

"I want to introduce you to the Eternal Flame as a concubine...... What a daring guy. ”

Figoreth looked at Elena on the other side of the snow-white tablecloth, stretched out her white and slender index finger, gently swept the green silk in front of her sideburns behind her pointed ears, picked up the white porcelain teacup, took a sip lightly, and smiled.

"Don't you think it's unfair that the sin of the previous generation of witches should be borne by the witches of this generation, Your Majesty? Elena gently tapped the porcelain cup in her hand, looked at the tea with a slight ripple in the cup, and sighed melancholy.

"Why do you want to meet with the Eternal Flame, as far as the concubine knows, the witch will see your compromise as weakness. The Lord of the Four Seasons Flowers groaned for a moment, his green eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, and he asked.

"Because this fight, which has been going on for hundreds of years, is just a farce. ”

Miss Witch raised her head, looked at the expression of the Lord of Flowers, and said with a smile: "I want to make up for the mistakes made by Fiona and reconcile with His Majesty the Emperor in exchange for a living space that belongs to witches. ”

"Reconciliation?"

Figoris covered her smile and looked at Miss Witch with a pair of crooked beautiful eyes: "If you really want to reconcile, you can meet the Eternal Flame alone, why did you find a concubine here?"

"Because I see the future. ”

Elena stretched out her hand to cover her pretty face, and then slowly spread it out, her blue eyes stared into the eyes of the Lord of Flowers, and she said in a syllable: "Your Majesty, don't you want to know your future?"

"Can you spy on the fate of the concubine?"

The Lord of the Four Seasons of Flowers leaned down lazily, supported his delicate chin with his right hand, and curled his fingers to touch his gorgeous lower lip: "Talk about it, please the concubine, or die here." ”

"You will be satisfied. ”

Miss Wu put down the porcelain cup in her hand, her blue eyes rippled with the water in the cup, and she said with a smile:

"Ten years from now, you will face the strongest enemy you have ever faced, compromise or fight, it is a difficult choice, and I hope you will choose the path as wise as I am. (To be continued.) )
