Fang Nuo, who was spread out on the sofa and disguised as a "monster specimen" common in witches' huts, suddenly sensed a beam of unfriendly gaze and shot at him from the side of the door.

He immediately got rid of the lying state, cheered up, and looked back at the past with that gaze.

The "old lady" who had been scheming from the very beginning—a title that Fang Nuo thought was appropriate for a visitor to the door—was now viciously scanning everything in the living room of the cottage, and this was where the gaze Fang Nuo had felt before.

"If," said the unfriendly guest in a low voice, "and someone finds you tinkering with those sinister potions, curse supplies, or books related to evil gods and demons, and their report comes to my ears......"

"Just wait and see." She was definitely the most "brave" human Fang Nuo had ever seen in the past few days, and she was simply lacking in self-knowledge to the extreme, "I will definitely not let you go." ”

"I'll sprinkle herbicides all over your herb garden; I will take your books out of this cave and pile them up on the grass outside and burn them; I'll gather the best hunters in the village and slay all your noisy demons. ”

"I heard you recently adopted a pet?" As soon as she raised her eyebrows, the surroundings on her forehead were all crowded together, "Hmph, it's a good thing to have a pet, and you will only spend your love on it." ”

Hearing the "old lady" mention herself, Fang Nuo couldn't help but prick up his ears, and his heart was full of "admiration (not praise)" for this "fearless man".

"When the time comes, your pet will die!"

The evil remnants are implicated, and this woman in the mountain village who once entrusted the witch to do things and came to visit her at this moment to give her reward must be a demon girl who has reached the highest level.

Fang Nuo stretched out his claws to smooth out the bumps that had appeared under his hair because of the human words, and many doubts arose in his heart, and his thoughts were like freshly boiled water, bubbling out.

In his eyes, although the witch is not mentally normal and thinks differently from her peers, she is powerful and self-proclaimed "guardian", and her daily routine is filled with all kinds of commissions in the village below, proving that she is most likely a warm-hearted person.

Why would such a person be hated by her kind?

Fang Nuo vaguely recalled what Xiong Zhen had said before he died—the witch was a sinner, and she couldn't stay in her original place of residence anymore, so she would run into the mountains......

But this should be a secret, the village chief of the mountain village seems to have a spectrum in his heart, but the other villagers may not know about it, they should all be kept in the dark.

Through the spiritual power that permeated the air, Fang Nuo clearly sensed the malice in the heart of the strange peasant woman.

And even though they weren't reflected in him, he did hear a chime about "Malevolent Increase".

This is a slight difference from when he first awakened this ability.

Before, it was all bad luck, just like the clansmen watched him being "kidnapped" by the witch, and he stepped on the mirror fragment, opened the "Book of Seals" and caused his life to be truly threatened, and the mistake of capturing the prey in front of him, etc.

Later, even when the demon beasts in the forest took advantage of Xiong Zhen's dispatch to scatter birds and beasts, and did not really want to encircle him and the mourning birds, the fleeting malice in their hearts was also transformed into the "malice value" that Fang Nuo used to construct things out of thin air.

Not long ago, when the two dryads were only planning to scare him, before they could cause actual harm or threat, Fang Nuo sensed their malice and changed his mind and responded in advance.

So, is this capability getting stronger and stronger, no, is it more and more inclusive?

With what was supposed to be once every three years, it turned into a "begging for seal" within three days of "one after another, try it when you have the opportunity"?

"But they did have ill will towards me." Fang Nuo rolled over and kept the old lady's gaze behind him, "There's no need to excuse them in your mind because the scope of this ability is not yet clear. ”

"And, the prefix of that value ......"

It is not "malice" from a particular object, but from "the world"!

Even when he is stupid and fails to succeed in something, the malice will increase...... Therefore, he once thought that this ability was "as long as something bad happens to him, he can increase the malice value according to the number of creatures involved".

"It's too early to think about it." Fang Nuo shook his head slightly, "I've only awakened it for a few days, and although I already have some information that can be used as a reference, it's only slightly better than 'nothing'. ”

At this time, the witch graciously sent the villagers who did not want to help her run errands out of the hut, as if she did not take the other party's vicious words to heart, bowed her head and sighed, "Mrs. Iris's temper is really getting worse", and turned back to the table by the window.

It turned out that the old lady's name was "Iris...... Fang Nuo was thoughtful.

In the linguistic education of the Huangxian clan, "Iris" actually has another meaning other than a person's name.

It is also a flower name, just like the witch's name "Ylang".

"It means 'irise', this is a very beautiful flower, I heard the elders of the family say, in the Xuancai Mountains of Fengyue, there is a place called 'Purple Butterfly Valley', full of this flower, like a rainbow in the sky covering the earth."

Fang Nuo struggled to recall what he had heard in his family's class, and at the same time lamented in his heart: no matter how much knowledge he memorized within the clan, as long as he didn't review it carefully, he would eventually forget the day when he remembered to lose.

I really want to go home, he screamed in his heart, there are still many books in the family waiting for him to browse, and there are many relatives who have gone out and have a high vision are waiting for him to consult and ask for advice.

"It's so sad that I can't even remember the specific month of 'Fengyue' now...... It should be impressive, this is common sense! ”

Knowledge is like this, every time you want to use it, you still have an impression a moment ago, and you can't remember it at all after a while.

And when you don't need to use them, you can easily recall them.

"I'm obviously still young, how can my brain be 'comparable' to those elders in the clan who can't be elders?" He laughed at himself in his heart, "Fengyue, Fengyue...... I think this was supposed to be the summer month, no, it was the end of spring, the month of late spring. ”

"That is, the fifth or sixth of the year? Fifth month...... bar. ”

Damn, Fang Nuo scolded in his heart.

This morning, when he listened to a young human share the contents of a book, he learned that humanity had abandoned this troublesome method of counting the month and used the number order of the month.

"Don't worry about that for now." He propped himself up and shook his head, feeling that his previous exhaustion and spiritual exhaustion had improved, "Iris, Iris, Purple Butterfly Valley...... Purple Butterfly Valley is set aside. ”

"Iris, Ylan, and the name I heard earlier called 'Little Duck's Paw Wood.'" Fang Nuo chuckled, "There are quite a few humans in this village who are named after plants, but the witch must have come from outside. ”

"Also, 'Noka' and 'Erica' are not nicknames...... What was I thinking? ”

He straightened up, stretched out his stubby upper limbs and rubbed his cheeks, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the witch had come to him at some point.

Fang Nuo was a spirit, and "bounced" from the sofa to the ground on the spot.

"Six-six, I've called you several times." There were no outsiders, so the witch who took off her hood revealed a hint of grievance in her tone.

But he heard Fang Nuo's hair stand on end.

Although this human seemed to be showing weakness, to Fang Nuo's voice, there was a chill in her voice.

Even if it was just a sentence without the slightest malice, just to get the comfort of the pet she had just brought home, along with the breath she exhaled, Fang Nuo's vision gradually sketched a strange picture:

Ice caves, glaciers, ice bridges, ice walls, ice spikes, ice shoots, and icicles that grow from top to bottom in the cave walls like stalactites...... There are also cages made of ice, and a dark body that is faintly visible in the blue expanse of a scene, lying in the ice and no longer moving.

What is this?

Fang Nuo's eyes widened.

He believed that this was not a sight that the witch had intended for him to see, but more like ...... His ability is resonating with a certain trait of the "capable man" in front of him!

But why?

Which power is at work? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the malicious value transformation, but it's a bit like the "long river of memory" that I experienced before, and they are all blue, but one is ice and the other is a pure blue memory light spot.

"Six-six? What happened to you...... Why is your body so cold? ”

Something was wrong with his "new family" when he came back just now, and after resting for a while, the situation got worse, and it seemed that the witch who had already raised a lot of pets was a little panicked.

She glanced up at the brightly colored bird specimens hanging from the roof, pursed her lips, turned and walked briskly to the bookshelves, and even used the spirit line to help take out the books, trying to find a solution to the situation from her collection as quickly as possible.

Oh...... That book seems to be about how to keep a pet.

Fang Nuo lay on his side on the couch, a slight hint of gratitude flashing through his mind for the fact that the witch did not throw him on the ground, but carried him back to the couch, and observed the witch's behavior, taking the opportunity to figure out the names and uses of specific books on the shelves.

She wants to find a way to save me from that book? Don't do that, I don't want to owe her any more favors, though, I'm fine.

Phew, I'm not that guy's pet.

He slowly got up and fell back to the ground from the couch, before he fell to his senses and the hallucinations in front of him were gone.

I'd have to figure out the meaning behind that image, Fonno thought, maybe it had something to do with the witch's past.

And, the reason why the visitor was so hostile to her just now, he was also interested in it, but he thought that the witch would most likely not reveal it to him, and he needed to find out for himself.

Fang Nuo called out, drawing the witch's attention, not wanting her to waste her time on meaningless things.

Then he took a few steps to the small table by the window, jumped first on the chair that had been pulled apart, and then on the table, to the flower-shaped cushion that the witch had sewn for him.

Kick it away.

It's not something he cares about.

Fang Nuo pretended not to care about the paper full of words she placed on the table in front of the witch, and found a position to lie down in the light, but in fact secretly studied the contents of the paper closest to him.

Well, most of the text, what should not be understood is still not understood.

However, he had an impression of the number at the top of the paper.

“2507…… The preceding string of characters means ......"

Fang Nuo recognized the meaning of the line - "2507 in the other calendar", in his memory, this year, maybe last year, in short, it was a day when it had also snowed heavily, and the ground was covered with frost and snowflakes, and the elders of the family sighed in front of the juniors:

"From this day on, it will be the 2507th year that the new race has carved up this land with us."

"Although they were born a long time ago, their civilization has now caught up with us."

"So," the elder said earnestly, "we can choose to surpass them, or walk with them, or play them." ”

"Different choices, different paths, different futures, remember this, go out of your own way, one day, you will recall the decisions you made in the past, regret it or not, it is all in your own hearts."
