Chapter 114: A Child Left Behind in Another World
Switzerland, 1780
The woman who had been keeping him under house arrest didn't come back last night.
A young boy of six or seven years old looked at the broth and bread that were already cold on the table, and the house was quiet, but the little boy felt that it was not an exaggeration to describe it as gloomy. Therefore, he prefers to peek into the outside world of the house through the cracks in the wooden door.
As usual, it was overcast, it never seemed to be sunny since he was born, there was always a noise outside the door, people were tearing and angry, and from time to time there was the desperate cry of a woman and the thick smell of blood in the air, and even he could feel the whole space shaking uncomfortably in the house.
Bang β
The woman came out of a door in the house and returned home.
The woman coated his back with a foul-smelling ointment that made him painful, and she didn't talk much, and she was too busy to take care of him on weekdays, but she would do it herself, and then told him again and again that he should never go out and eat strangers' things.
She is a different woman, always exuding a faint, dizzy fragrance on her body, and a strange face that seems to be smiling but not smiling. He thought she was scary, but the guests and animals who came loved her.
He didn't know what she was running, her guests all came out of the house, and none of them came in from outside. Her house was small from the outside, but it was wide inside, like a bottomless pit, the corridors were very long, there were so many rooms, she shuttled between the different doors, and the guests came out of the rooms inside, they were neither human nor animal, but like human and animal-like.
The guests called her "Shrine Maiden".
Although he didn't know what she was doing every day, he knew she was unusual, and sometimes he even suspected that she was the real Witch that the people out there had been looking for and killing.
That day, she shut herself in the door again, and of course he took the opportunity to sneak out to play. He tried to avoid crowded places, but he still harvested strawberry pie, and the people outside were very kind and kind, so he didn't know why the woman wouldn't let him out.
When I returned, there were already two guests sitting in the hall. The woman was earlier than usual, and he was so frightened that he hid outside the door and did not dare to enter.
β...... I will wait here for the last drop of sin to fill the execution ground, and the seal will usher in a brief period of peace...... The spilling evil can no longer be recovered, and the scythe of death will be called upon wherever it flows,...... It's no longer safe here, and war on the human realm will break out soon......"
What are you talking about? The woman was still so light-hearted, as if all the tragedy had nothing to do with her.
"At that time, the other world will also be affected. In order to resist the necromantic evil energy that comes from all directions, we are also doing active protection, so ...... Who?"
Sensing the movement outside the door, he was discovered, and he could only open the door with a hard head, and the guests immediately showed a panic that they did not agree with.
"How can you just walk out like that!" the female guest casually scolded.
What's wrong with him?" he looked at the female guest suspiciously, and she turned her face away indifferently.
Although her attitude was very bad, he just couldn't forget it, as if it had been imprinted in the bone marrow, that pair of gentle turquoise eyes and a pair of transparent wings glowing with golden light.
The woman is making strange deals with the mysterious guests. But for the first time, when receiving guests, she did not let him avoid it.
"By the way, I just thought of a good place. It's a place where aliens will never set foot foot, and it's a good place for him to spread his wings and soar. β
The guest's face was delighted, but then he was frightened away by the cunning at the corner of the woman's mouth.
"You mean...... "The male guest looked at the shrine maiden in shock, "this is too bold." β
"What does it matter! Wait until the door is open there, believing that the fruit is ripe. β
"What if it's found out before this?" assumed the female guest nervously.
"No, it won't. β
"What if the door won't be open?" asked the male guest.
"Then I'll make an exception, and the commission will be paid only after the task is completed. By the time she spoke, she had already drawn up the contract.
"Will you really fulfill our promise?"
"You don't understand our way of doing things. The shrine maiden pushed the power of attorney to the guest, smiled and whispered, "The gate of the Demon Realm will open." β
The guests looked at each other in a daze, and then looked at the child who had been standing in the middle of the living room.
"Please take him away anyway. The guest picked up a pen and wrote a book.
Who to take away?
He was suddenly extremely uneasy.
The power of attorney was signed, and the guests stood up.
"Please. β
He hadn't heard the story yet, he just knew that they were going to send something away.
They spread their beautiful wings and turned away indifferently, leaving not the slightest breath. Such a proud guest, as if it were dirty, they didn't even want to look at him more.
As soon as the guest left, the woman stood up.
"Then let's go. The woman took his hand and ran eagerly down the hallway.
What? Where is he? Why......
"No ......"
Before he could react, she slashed at the back of his head, and he fainted.
The woman had always been resolute and silent. This time I didn't tell him anything.
When he woke up again, he was already alone in the Demon Realm.
There was an illusion of rebirth, and the moment I woke up, the pain that had been pressing on my back disappeared, replaced by a pair of black transparent wings, soft and fragile like a newborn baby, the skin was no longer fair, and the eyes changed from the original turquoise to red.
This is not the original him, but in that woman's world, is it the real him?
It didn't matter, the important thing was that he woke up and realized immediately that the "he" that the two guests were talking about was him. He suddenly understood that he had been discarded. By that woman, by those two guests, but, why?
He used to have fair skin and turquoise eyes like them, and now he has the same wings as them, but the feeling is so different.
The Demon Realm, the Demon Race, this is a completely different world from before.
When he wandered in the Demon Realm, he experienced many, many things. However, as time passed, even the most important and painful things faded from my mind, but I never forgot the faces of those two guests. Because his face, after getting rid of childishness, was similar to theirs, he was disgusted.
Unexpectedly, after many years, the shrine maiden appeared again.
The little girl in front of me and the woman, whether it is age, appearance, hair color, skin color...... None of them are similar, and she should have died a long time ago, human beings have a short lifespan. But she is not an ordinary human being, and neither are the little girls, and they are most similar to what they do to treat others as fools, their arrogant attitudes, the arrogance in the corners of their eyes, and the fact that this child is even more difficult.
"How about it, do you want to take a look?" Yue pretended to take out the scroll with a wicked look.
She turned her face away at first, but Yu Guang was quietly looking at her.
"That's ...... What's that?"
Yue looked at Yu and smiled.
"I don't know. It can only be seen by the person himself. β
"You're lying, you witches already know the general contents of the scroll at the moment of their minds. β
Even he knew that, and he had lived with a shrine maiden for a while!
"I can only tell you that this is a token left to you by your parents. The details can only be seen by opening the reels, and opening the reels means that the order is to be executed. She stepped forward and patted her shoulder, "I'm going back to sleep." I think I'll be staying here for three or four days, and after thinking about it, you've decided that you are welcome to come to me at any time!"
At the exit of the square, Ting Ni leaned against the cloud falcon and closed his eyes to recuperate. Looking at her performance on the bed, he probably guessed that it was a commission, and he was relieved, but what he didn't expect was that she let the griffin go.
The tavern is empty and generally does not serve breakfast, today is the exception.
Only then did I realize that the dishes for her and Yun Fei were different, and they had the taste of the human world.
A pan-fried bird and beast egg, the portion is large enough, fully cooked and medium-rare, a cup of mammalian monster milk, it tastes not far from milk, and it is not picky, sawdust bread with bacon, or with jam, the sweetness that children like very much.
"Do you want to give him a copy of that?" the broom gestured to the retainer sitting in the corner. It's a powerful character who stalks the witch, and you can save even the effort of hiding.
"Wouldn't he hurt Miss Yue?" Yun Fei took out the dagger that had fallen to the ground last night.
Yes, he is so blatant dereliction of duty, won't he be fired by his employer?
"Yun Fei, are you willing to help me get rid of him?"
Everyone turned their heads to look at her, although the height, temperament, and age are not far apart, but there is a big difference between the greenhouse and the one grown in the wild.
"Of course!" Yun Fei didn't understand that much.
Morning β
Than magic, the battle between light and darkness, and the tie won an overwhelming victory.
Luncheon β
Keep up the good work, and start earnest.
Before the opening of the evening show -
Because they were dragged down by the duel, they might have to sleep in the mountains tonight, so they found a wide place to set up their tents.
"Yun Fei, use the sword next!" Yue handed him a knife.
"It's a knife!" Yun Pouted, he could already tell the difference.
"Hee-hee, I need you to give him a stab in the heart. β
Ting Ni picked her up.
"You let Yun Fei kill people?"
"On the battlefield, casualties are inevitable. Well, well, just give him a stab in the wings at a discount. β
The content of their muttering, Yu is not interested, anyway, Yun Fei is not his opponent, even if he makes rapid progress, it is impossible to surpass it in one day.
Unexpectedly, Yun Fei's knife was much more proficient than magic, and he had great patience and tenacity.
He turned around, and Yun Fei had already raised his sharp broadsword and landed on his wingsβ
If the wings are gone, there are still birds and monsters, most of the demons don't have wings, and it doesn't matter if they can't fly, but, this is ......
Dark Bullet ββγ
The cloud sword fell, splitting the magic ball in half before slashing towards the ground.
However, there was only dirt on the ground, and there was no trace of it!
