Section 5 The Death of a Witch
"Hehe, it's ridiculous, being an Assassin who doesn't do his best to get the job done and expects a miracle!" Cicero said with a look of disdain, "but I'm not surprised that you think so. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Ignoring Cicero's disdain for him, Will said apologetically, "Although Artis and I are newbies, we are still clear about the rules of the organization. Miracles happen, and we make new discoveries. ”
"What did you find?" asked the Night Mother.
"Deep in the forest, we found a hidden waterfall that Artis and I stumbled upon while searching for a water source. ”
The crowd looked at Vir, "What's so special about the waterfall, tell me?" asked the Night Mother.
"Moina's lair is hidden behind the waterfall!" replied Will, in a loud voice.
"What's going on?" asked Cicero.
"I think the best explanation is a miracle. Will smirked, "We've finally found her." However, I have to admire that Moyna is a very wise witch. ”
"Will is right, the old witch is so clever at hiding that if we weren't thirsty, it would have been hard to spot her. Artis interjected.
"If you can find it, it's a good start. The Night Mother said.
"Artis and I decided to go into the cave and kill her. When we stepped into the cave, we were completely stunned by what we saw. It's unimaginably terrible, like a nightmare. ”
"What do you see? Engil asked anxiously.
"Hell!!" Will replied in a long tone.
Everyone tensed up and looked at him, and Will swallowed his saliva and continued, "The cave was dark and damp, and filled with the stench of rotting corpses, and it was filled with dense bones and undecaying corpses, and the horrible sight still makes my heart feel terrible when I think about it. ”
"What do you think about that scene?" asked the Night Mother.
"At first we were scared, as if our souls were being seized by fear. Standing at the entrance of the cave, we swayed and did not dare to move forward, as if death was close by. ”
"Is it because of the bones?" asked the Night Mother.
"That's right, ma'am. The first time we saw so many bones, we were scared from the bottom of our hearts. Later, it was Artis's words that strengthened our confidence to continue to complete the work. Weir said.
"Oh! Interesting, let's hear it. The Night Mother sighed curiously.
Will danced to recreate the scene, "He said that Rex had said that it was better to fight and die than to live in fear all the time! The moment we make up our minds, we are filled with courage. Thankfully, the cave wasn't deep, and we quickly came to the end with our noses covered, and we finally found Moina. Weir said.
"Oh, so you're attacking her?" asked Cicero.
"Yes, Mr. Cicero. Artis and I hid behind a rock, and Artis shot an arrow at Moina's back, and when she was stabbed by the arrow, she began to howl like a pig. I dare say it was the worst sound I've ever heard. ”
"Well, what about later. The Night Mother asked.
"Moyna was injured, but her reflexes were still quick. She screamed and ran towards where we were hiding. At the same time, she threw a fireball from afar, which was so fast that Artis couldn't dodge and was hit, and the fireball pierced his shoulder. ”
The crowd held their breath and watched Will's face intently.
Vir continued, "Artis cried out, and fell to the ground and passed out. Seeing that the menacing Moyna was about to rush towards me, I had no choice but to set up Artis and prepare to escape from the cave. At that moment, she threw another fireball at me, which hit me directly in the thigh, and all of a sudden, the pain caused me to lose my balance, and the two of us fell to the ground. ”
"Ah, aren't you in a very dangerous situation. Cicero said nervously.
"That's right, Mr. Cicero. Moyna screamed and rushed over, her face hideous, looking at me and Artis angrily, waving her talon-like fingers, very manic, and quickly chanting incantations we didn't understand. Suddenly, she let out a horrible sneer as she ignited a fireball in her hand and tossed it at us. ”
Everyone looked at Will intently, only to see him pick up a glass of wine and drink it all before he continued, "The situation is very dangerous, and I have no hope of living." The fireball came close to hitting my face a few centimeters and was suddenly bounced off by a bolt of lightning, and I was taken aback. Moyna apparently didn't expect it, and with a strange look in the direction where the lightning was flying, we saw a vague figure. ”
"Figure?" asked Cicero.
"Yes, but I didn't know it was Rex at the time. The pain was so intense that I almost fainted and my vision became blurry. Moyna let out another strange scream and ran towards the figure. After that, I passed out. When I woke up again, I saw Rex roasting an elk by the campfire. Not far from the ground was a spear, and Moina's head was pierced and hung on it. Look at Artis again, his wounds have been bandaged, and he is lying quietly next to me, it was Rex who saved us. Vell had a look of gratitude in his eyes.
"It was a coincidence from the beginning, and at first I didn't know that the two of them were novices sent by Madame, until I learned their identities on the way back. Rex said.
"Oh, I see. They were lucky not to lose their lives. Then again, the personalities of these two children are very similar to yours. The Night Mother said softly.
"You say it's like me?"
"That's right, just like you were at the beginning, reckless, willful, and brave. ”
"Madame is not wrong at all. "Especially Weir, a kid who gets a lot of headaches, loves challenges and adventures, and is constantly trying new things." He's not as conformist as other newbies, and he's playing pranks like you when you first joined. The task of assassinating Moyna was his request. ”
Hearing Engil's praise, Vir bowed his head shyly.
Cicero laughed, "That brave energy is very good, but it's a pity that his fighting ability is a little worse, and he is not as flexible as Rex back then." ”
"Well, Cicero gets to the point. The Night Mother spoke, "The next task for Will and Artis is to train your skills well with Sarn, and I believe that with the experience of this mission, I think you should know what you are capable of." ”
"Yes, ma'am. Will and Artis replied in unison.
"Brothers, a toast to our heroes!" the Night Mother stood up with her glass and shouted to those present.
"For our heroes!" shouted in unison.
