67. Sky Garden

"Sister, can we go to the garden to play?"

The three little girls were lying on the top of the guard wall and looking out, and the girl named Prada blinked her eyes wide, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Sister Tomera said she wasn't allowed to go over there." Vera rested her chin in her right hand against the parapet and looked enviously at the flower-filled and tree-lined garden.

For some reason, the flowers and trees in Garden 3 seem to be in full bloom all year round, regardless of the seasonal weather.

Spring peonies, peonies, roses, lilacs, rhododendrons, spring flowers...

In summer, the snake chrysanthemum, gentian, thousand day red...

Autumn lycoris, aster, peacock grass, morning glory, zinnia, purple jasmine...

Winter rhododendrons, plum blossoms, poinsettias, junzi orchids, birds of paradise...

There are also many beautiful flowers in the garden that Vera doesn't know are blooming, showing off their beauty.

The sky gardens are like a fairyland, and they are beautiful.

"Let's go quietly and don't let her know," said Bemila, another girl, turning her head expectantly, "just go play for a while..."

"Someone's coming, look!"

Vera suddenly interrupted her with an excited look on her face, and shouted excitedly pointing outside.

"It's Brother Huck, look, look~"

The witcher, who had just come out of the treehouse, was immediately stunned by the sight before him, the original overgrown platform had completely changed.

A winding cobblestone path leads from the treehouse to the wooden gate of the guard tower, and on both sides of the road, there are beautiful street lamps every few meters.

The most bizarre thing is that a small stream flows out of the grass under the cliff wall and merges into a small lake behind the treehouse.

Bounded by the treehouse, the area close to the castle is self-contained and becomes an independent front garden, and the area away from the castle is separated by a stream, becoming a back garden with pavilions, water, flowers and grass, and an elegant environment.

The carved wooden fence runs front and back along the edge of the platform, protecting the entire platform and creating a completely enclosed area.

Immediately on the inside of the fence, there is a banyan tree with the thickness of a pot every few meters, and after the banyan tree stands upright and rises a few meters, it suddenly leans out diagonally.

The canopy of the leafy tree is like a canopy, and under the cover of green leaves, you can faintly see the small tree houses.

"How? Pretty, right? ”

Emily looked at Huck's wonderful and unusual expression, and was in a good mood, her eyebrows were crooked, and the corners of her mouth were curled.

"How long have I been out of here?" Feeling incredulous, the witcher turned to look at the sorceress and asked, somewhat uncertain.

"Don't ask such stupid questions," the sorceress gave him a blank look, ignored him, walked to the edge of the stream, took a sip of water, and then breathed a long sigh of relief.

Seeing her movements, Huck also walked over, picked up a handful of water, and then leaned close to his mouth and drank it.

The stream water is cool and sweet, and the faint coolness penetrates through the bottom of my heart.

"It's a spring that comes down from the mountains," explained Emily softly as he reveled.

"A few days ago, the teacher negotiated with Viselmir to get the right to use the Sky Garden in exchange for helping to improve the trial potion, and then, that's it!"

"Brother Huck, Brother Huck~"

A cry of surprise from a distance caught the two of them's mind, and the witcher laughed when he looked up and saw a few little girls on the parapet.

"Let's go see these little ones!"

As he spoke, the witcher stood up and walked briskly towards the castle.

A few minutes later, the two entered the castle through the wooden door of the guard tower.

"Brother Huck, can we go play in the garden?" Vera looked at the wooden door leading to the garden with a look of envy.

Before Huck could speak, Emily had already smiled and rubbed the little girl's pretty blonde hair, and said:

"Of course, aren't you learning to grow herbs? There are a lot of herbs in the front garden, and you can also go and pick them. ”

"Really, that's great," Vera looked at Huck and was immediately happy when she saw him nod.

"So can Sister Tomilla go too?" The little girl blinked, remembering the herbalist who had been very good to her.

"Of course," Emily nodded, adding, "You tell Tomilla that girls can go to the garden to play, but they can't destroy flowers and trees at will, okay?" ”

"Okay" Vera agreed excitedly, and wanted to rush to the wooden door, but as soon as she took a step, she asked with some hesitation, "There won't be a very fierce elf sister to chase us now, right?" ”

"No one is going to chase you anymore" Emily chuckled and patted her cute head, "Go ahead, be careful not to go to the back garden, where is the forbidden area." ”

"Got it~" The three girls agreed, laughing and rushing to the cloud garden in their hearts.

Watching the girls laugh through the wooden door, Huck smiled, envious of their carefreeness.

The two walked through the inner courtyard garden to the front of the hall, paused for a moment, and after admiring the beautiful scenery of the mountains in the distance, they stepped forward and pushed open the door of the hall.

The hall was silent, except for the herbalist in a red dress sitting at the conference table in the library area, watching something.

Hearing footsteps, Tomilla turned her head and saw the two of them.

"Huck, you're back" She stood up with a look of surprise and greeted Emily again, then turned her head and shouted, "Morris, come on, your savior is here~"

"Where, where," said a large, burly bald head, standing up from behind the weapon rack.

......

An hour later, in the conference area, several people from the castle gathered, except for Morris.

This stout man has thoroughly liked this place, and now he is preoccupied with tinkering with the dilapidated furnace, and he has heard that he is the son of a blacksmith, who had been working in a blacksmith shop before joining the army, and now wants to return to his profession.

Viselmir took the child to the bottom of the mountain, saying that he was going to buy materials, and he didn't know when he would come back, but fortunately, the main character that the witcher was looking for was not him.

After listening to Tomilla's account of what had happened at the castle in the past few days, Huck got down to business.

The witcher was relieved to see that the herbalist had adapted to life here, and that the veteran Morris had basically recovered, but there was more important things to do when he came back this time.

"Tomera, I need your help" The witcher looked at the herbalist and said, "I need to know about Claire, as we have been tasked with dealing with the Banshees of Hoover Heights." ”

"Claire?"

Tomella's face turned a little pale, as if she didn't want to talk about her friends, but she opened her mouth when she saw the expectant look in the witcher's eyes.

"She's a long story," Tomella's eyes became a little misty, as if caught in a memory, "Claire is a good girl, good at singing and dancing, and empathetic. ”

"The first time I met Claire was a year ago.

She walked into my room with the fragrance of daisies, and she brought youthful energy and laughter, it was a sunny day after many rainy days...

She learned medicine in Ausenfurt, and I learned from the Temple, and we communicated and worked together like sisters.

Claire is passionate about her work and full of longing for life, and wherever she goes, it becomes a sea of joy.

Everyone loves her and calls her Lark Claire because she always brings joy and laughter to people. ”

Perhaps remembering those happy days, Tomera's expression softened a lot.

"It would be nice if there was no follow-up!"

"What happened next?"

"Later, for some unknown reason, the usually kind lord suddenly had people rudely drive us out of the village of White Orchard. I was angry and tried to get the baron to judge, but the soldiers wouldn't let me enter the manor.

"Don't you know why?"

"I don't know, but when Claire had an accident, I carefully recalled the details and felt that it should be related to her."

Tomella's expression was a little distressed, as if she had been thinking about the question.
