1. The Witch
The sea breeze flowed up the hillside, mingling with the scent of lavender in a particularly comforting lullaby, and Fisher seemed to have slept in such a quiet place for a long time, and when he opened his eyes in a fog, he first felt his head resting on some soft place.
The eyes were not focused, so the large area of vision was all blurred, but the tip of his nose twitched a few times, and he smelled the faint fragrance of women, as well as the strands of black curls that fell down.
The gaze gradually cleared, and in front of her was a beautiful and elegant young woman, with fair and soft skin, and her lips were lightly touched with some of the lipsticks that Lady Nari loved, making her temperament quite charming and seductive, but the most impressive thing was her pair of purple eyes that were as dark as a galaxy of stars.
At this moment, her eyes seemed to reveal a little sadness, looking at Fisher's body. It was only now that Fisher realized that her clothes had been stripped off, revealing the bandages that had been stained red underneath.
"Renee..."
Fisher rubbed his temples and found himself resting on her soft thighs, a faint scent that made him look up unnaturally, and Renee beside him did not stop him, the sadness in his eyes slowly subsided, and gradually turned into an intoxicating joke like a black mamba.
"Good morning, Fisher."
"Why are you here? Didn't you tell Hart to tell me that you would go south of Kado? ”
The surrounding lavender fields were unconsciously filled with purple-feathered larks, and farther away, at the edge of the forest, under the blue sky, the larks with their heads shaking everywhere were all staring at the newly awakened Fisher.
"Hey, I don't know why I ended up here all of a sudden? Could it be because I miss you so much, so Mother Goddess responded to my prayer and thanked Mother Goddess. ”
She folded her hands in front of her body wrapped in a loose black dress, and made a less formal prayer, but with a wicked smile on her lips, one eye closed, and the other eye opened to look at the speechless Fisher in front of her.
Then even she knew that this kind of nonsense could not deceive Fisher, so her prayer gesture instantly turned into a positive V, and placed it in front of her eyes, trying to use her beauty to get by.
"You're stalking me?"
Facing Fisher's expressionless face, Renee cried out for injustice,
"I just happened to ask Hart to come over to deliver the letter, but I just happened to see you fall to the ground, so I came to look for you... Come on, I flew half a continent and an ocean to get here, and Lord Fisher not only didn't thank me, but he also asked the teacher to ask for guilt..."
She covered her face weakly with her hands and sobbed falsely,
"Woo, so sad, so sad, I have to get a kiss from Fisher..."
Fisher ignored her at all, but turned his head to look at the south of the continent, as if he had seen a carriage in the wilderness, and if nothing else, there should be a red dragon girl sitting on it.
Renee's fingers covering her face spread out a little, and she saw Fisher ignoring herself, her beautiful face, which looked like Fisher's sister, puffing out her cheeks unagedly, and then she floated up easily, her hands around Fisher in front of her, and her purple eyes were as intoxicating as a galaxy of stars looking south with him.
"Do you want me to help you chase the carriage back, my clothes are still on it, I can feel it..."
Fisher reached out and pushed the witch beside him some distance away, seemingly giving Renee a bit of a headache. Renee's personality is definitely the worst Fisher has ever seen, even if it is bad, it is still very shameless, no matter how you say it, you can't be moved.
You say whatever you say, I'll calculate that I lose.
"Forget it, let her go, I failed... Let's go, I'm ready to take a boat back to Saint-Nari. ”
"Oh roar, is it a failure?" Pushed away by Fisher, Renee was not annoyed at all, just pointed a finger on her red lips, tilted her head like an innocent child, and wondered, "Didn't you deliberately let that child go?" ”
“... No. ”
Fisher fastened the buttons of his clothes, but found that all the wounds on his body were glowing with layers of lilac brilliance, and the blood had stopped seeping out under the light, and was developing in the direction of healing.
Renee had helped herself with her wounds.
"Yes, yes, can Teacher Fisher refute that I am a student?" Renee patted her head and whispered, "It's just a pity that all your belongings are in that carriage, and there are no more belongings in Saint-Nari's house, so all of them are used to buy supplies and weapons." I actually gave it to that little girl of the dragon man, when did I marry you if I was so generous to me? ”
"Thankfully, it's okay... Aren't you going back to the Western Continent directly? ”
"Oops, the magic is not enough, and I can't use the magic back to the Western Continent anymore. It seems that I can only go back with you, but it's a pity that we have to sit on the boat together for so long. ”
“...”
As Fisher walked forward, Renee followed him with her hands behind her back, but when she looked closely, her white feet were bare, and she didn't touch the ground at all, floating in the air and following Fisher unhurriedly.
The nature of subhumans like witches is very strange, and because they are so few in number, humans know very little about them. The only thing that can be understood is that they are all women, and they are very good at magic and magical talents, and each witch has a unique [characteristic].
Renee's trait is simply that her magic circuit is constantly growing indefinitely.
Although it can be described in one sentence, the expression is very fantastical in reality. Her magic circuits are so complex that almost her entire body is full.
After replenishing the knowledge from the soul supplement manual, Fisher found that this would make the boundary between her body and soul very blurred, and the nature of the soul began to appear in the body, so she could float now, and sometimes there would be a certain degree of blurring, so that the physical contact would be reduced, depending on her own willingness to be touched.
And even if her body is full of mana circuits that are many, many times more than humans, it is still not enough, those larks are all substances formed by Renee's magic circuits escaping from her body, and all of them have their own simple consciousness, their names are still taken by Fisher, and they are all called Hart.
Previously, Fisher wanted to study Hart's nature, and since Hart was an escape from Renee's magic circuit, was it possible that she could transfer her consciousness to these birds?
However, Renee denied this conjecture, saying that she could not do it, and Fisher had no choice but to give up. Usually these birds follow Renee all the time, and they can both engrave and release magic on their own, making them very powerful companions.
Less than a tenth of all Hart were now around them, and it was unknown where she had called the others.
"Fisher, I'm so tired, how about you carry me away?"
Renee floated over in a moment, her obviously sisterly face always deliberately saying such young and lovely words, but don't be fooled by her appearance, you can see the real thoughts of this guy in her deep purple eyes full of teasing.
"Don't float around when you go to buy tickets for a while, if you can't get on the boat after being discovered, you can fly back by yourself."
"If you don't answer me, I'll take you by default."
Renee didn't pay any attention to Fisher's words, but just put her hands on Fisher's shoulders, pretending to be floating on his back, but in fact Fisher didn't feel any weight at all.
Fisher sighed, not bothering to pay attention to Renee, who was behind him.
It was definitely a correct decision to drive her away in the Western Continent at that time, and now that I haven't seen her for a long time, I should have at least a little miss, but it didn't take a few minutes for this already small amount of missing to be washed away by her teasing.
As they descended the hillside, a large number of larks rose into the air and flew in their direction.
"You're too heavy, go down by yourself."
"Lie, I didn't even put weight on you."
"Since you didn't put any weight on me, why should I carry you?"
But Fisher had just finished asking, Renee didn't answer, but somehow she took out a mahogany inlaid silver, with a griffon's cane carved on his head, and placed it in front of Fisher, muffling the rest of his words in his throat.
"Souvenir~"
She smiled wickedly at Fisher's expression, and she liked to see the thrifty Fisher speechless because of his expensive gifts.
Fisher was silent for a second, then reached out and took the cane, which was more elaborate and lighter than his own, and must have cost a lot.
“.... Thanks a lot. ”
"You're welcome."
Renee yawned, then floated with her hands on his shoulders, both of them silently not mentioning the matter of getting her off her shoulders.
