Why run away?

For a capable man, the closed door panel and the surrounding noise were nothing but disturbing his mind.

With a wave of his hand, all obstacles will disappear from his eyes.

But Petro is a measured man, he has moved away from the battlefield of impersonal accidents, and knows that the blame should be placed on him for the fact that things have come to such a point.

The child, the inhabitants of the mountain village, and the witch he hadn't seen yet, they were all innocent.

"Mike." He knocked on the door, raising his hand to block out the noise behind him and building a barrier around himself to prevent those from rushing up to make trouble before he could achieve his goal.

Ordinary humans can't hurt him, for fear that he will overestimate his patience and be annoyed by this group of people and hurt them...... When the time comes, what kind of face will he have to visit the witch who guards this mountain village?

"Listen to me," his tone calmed down as the noise died down, as if trying to persuade the boy to let his guard down and let his mouth go, "I don't know what 'Adriel' means to you, but I swear to you that I have no ill intentions in my intentions. ”

"I'm not going to hurt you, and your friends." He said solemnly.

There was a "da-da-da" footsteps behind the door, followed by the sound of a cane hitting the ground, as if the child who had just run in was looking for someone.

The voice stopped behind the door, and Pietro waited for a while, but saw no sign of the door being opened, so he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and said tentatively: "Mike? ”

"If a guest comes here from Adriel......," the older-sounding voice replied to him in the place of the little boy, "it means that the village is about to lose its guardians." ”

"Huh?" The other man's words sounded a very premature prophecy, and Pietro blinked, not knowing what to make of his remarks.

The old man who spoke seemed to be convinced of the words, and his tone sounded trembling, and there may have been other emotions.

"I can't say anything about being here." Petro began to make up for his behavior in response to the "prophecy", "Why do you have this perception? ”

"Uh." He pressed his hand to the door and asked with some lack of confidence, "Do you think my presence will drive your witch away?" ”

"Forced away?" The old man in the door suddenly laughed, "No one can influence the witch's will, what I just said is just the arrangement she made for her own fate. ”

"Grandpa the village chief!"

There were strange sounds coming from inside the door, as if someone wanted to reach out to open the door, but was desperately stopped by the people around them.

And through this movement coming from inside the house, Pietro keenly captured a trace of inhuman spiritual power...... It's coming out of the door!

In the next moment, he made a decision on behalf of the two in the door.

The door panel fell outward with a "bang", and the culprit who caused the incident to happen quickly flashed to the side and was not overwhelmed by it.

However, the passers-by who gathered around the mansion and were unilaterally shielded by Pietro were all frightened by the sudden scene, some of them stood frozen in place and shivered, while others turned and ran away with shouts, probably trying to bring reinforcements somewhere.

It seems too late to say "I didn't mean to" now.

Petro smiled and leaned out of the shadow of the eaves, scratched his head, and apologized to the children and the old people who were also frightened:

"Give me a chance, and I'll help you restore this door."

"You're a capable person?" The gray-haired old gentleman lifted his eyes on the bridge of his nose and said with a slight astonishment.

"Capable ......" Before Pietro could react, he muttered to himself, "A capable man from Adriel is really terrible, is that day really just around the corner?" ”

"What are you talking about? Grandpa the village chief? ”

It seems that not only Pietro, an outsider, could not understand the old man's thoughts, but the child was also confused.

"Young capable man, I would love to expel you from here immediately." The old village chief tapped the ground with his cane, his expression extremely solemn, "But...... Destiny is set. ”

"Let's go see her, then." He sent out a proposal without a beginning, "It may not be a good thing to let the matter end sooner and let the heart die sooner." ”

He erected his cane, and the end of the staff suddenly burst into a white glow, and soon rendered a layer of golden brilliance.

In a trance, Pietro felt that something in his body had been "changed".

"Old man, you are also ......" The village chief of the mountain village is also a capable person?

Although they have only just met today, this discovery will inevitably give Pietro the illusion that "this small mountain village is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger".

"No......" he recalled the inhuman aura he had sensed for a moment, "You are, beast ......"

The cane was struck on the ground again, and the old village chief recited an obscure incantation, and Pietro could only hear the last sentence clearly:

"I give you 'good luck', and today will be your luckiest day."

Is it so sudden?

Inexplicably flattered, Pietro patted his chest, he thought that the other party was saying such a long list of spells to curse himself.

But if you think about it, what old man would do such a vicious thing in front of a child? It's not a battlefield where you fight to the death with the enemy.

"Thank you?" Despite the confusion in his tone, Pietro thanked the old village chief for wishing him for no reason.

The village chief nodded at him slightly, and then took the little boy Mike behind him, and little by little he retreated away from the door.

The uninvited guest of the mountain village came back to his senses, raised his hand to let the door panel stand up on its own, and put it back in place, and then injected a small amount of spiritual power into it, fixing it in the door frame.

He performed the miracle of "shielding" so that the people around him couldn't disturb him, but if he could hear their reactions, he would definitely applaud if someone who wasn't scared away just now witnessed this scene.

After all, the miracle of "repair", even among the talented Caisda, there are very few people who can skillfully perform it.

Because this is a test of a capable person's ability to control the spiritual power of the atmosphere, if it is slightly insufficient or a little out of line, the results will be extremely unsatisfactory.

With the mentality of "I did something great, but blocked out the cheers of the bystanders", Pietro decided to follow the old village chief's proposal and go directly to visit the witch of the mountain village, instead of telling the other party about his arrival.

He mustered up the courage to turn around, and unexpectedly, the person he had just made up his mind to see had already jumped into his field of vision.

The "witch" wearing a cloak and hood stood outside the courtyard of the mansion, her eyes shrouded in shadows, revealing a complicated expression.

She was called by the villagers who had just been scared away - the witch was the guardian of this village, and when something unusual happened in the village, many people would run to entrust her.

“…… Pietro. ”

Obviously, the "witch of the mountain village" knows herself.

Petro didn't know if he should be overjoyed or show other emotions now.

He really didn't know what to do.

"Witch ......" He didn't know the name of the mysterious woman in the barracks, so he had to call each other by the name of the villagers of Mountain Village, "Is this your current name?" Should I call you that? ”

"Why did you come to this place? Coming to the Xuancai Mountains? He couldn't control the urge to ask, he had been looking for the other party for many years, and had inquired about almost all of Aderiel's territory.

Who knows, the other party will really run into the Xuancai Mountain Range, this is the world of the beast clan!

"What about General Ilan? Isn't he with you? When asked the question, Pietro was visibly hesitant.

He had a premonition in his heart, plus the temptation of Gezi before, and the jokes made many years ago when his comrades in the barracks parted ways...... The image of General Ilan gradually coincided with the figure in front of him, even though their declared gender was completely different-

"You, is that him?" Pietro finally conquered his inner hesitation and self-denial, and his voice trembled slightly, changing the stupid question he had asked earlier.

"It's dull, Pietro." The helper who was standing opposite and was found by the villagers smiled, but calmly admitted his identity.

Maybe she didn't intend to hide it in the first place.

I didn't expect it to be you, she said again, this is really a mockery of fate, is it the punishment of this world for humans who are involved with two hostile beast kings at the same time? Or is that the price she has to pay?

"What are you talking about?" Naturally, the newcomer Pietro didn't understand anything.

can see the old man who he thought was gone in the past, and he only has the emotion of "joy" in his heart, and whether the other party deceived him and other conspiracies that exist in this matter are completely ignored by him now.

"I mean," the witch's beautiful face showed a resigned smile, "I'm glad to see you again at the last moment of my life." ”

Petro was even more puzzled, he clearly felt the sadness in the other party's words, and as a listener, he was confused and sad.

"What do you mean ...... 'last moment of life'?" Things were going so fast that Pietro's mind couldn't turn around for a while.

He could see that the witch's exposed fingers were gradually becoming transparent.

Light from another time and space shone down from above, casting onto her skin, and soon, even where it was hidden by her clothes and hood, it was gradually able to shine through.

Her skin was pale, and she couldn't see the slightest blood, but she always had a soft smile on her lips...... However, her body did not move, to be exact, the moment Pietro turned around and the two looked at each other, she did not make any other movements.

just said hello to his subordinates and comrades-in-arms who had been reunited for a long time, and showed his identity, and then, just kept smiling, his body became more and more stiff and transparent......

"General Elan!" Pietro reacted and shouted.

He rushed forward with an arrow, but before his outstretched hand could touch his own general, he was stopped by a staff that suddenly stretched out from behind.

Glancing behind him, he found that the old village chief, who was supposed to be staying in the house, came outside at some point and stood behind him:

"From then on, the 'lies' of the true beast have been exposed, and He will bear the price of lying, and the 'truth' changed by His power will be restored."

The white-haired old village chief glowed with golden light, which was not the soul color that would be reflected in the atmospheric spiritual power when performing miracles, but the manifestation of the innate luminous ability of a certain beast clan.

"Tell me." Pietro protected the witch in front of him, who was slowly turning into an ice sculpture, "What happened to her?" ”

"You should have seen them all, right?" He raised his head and met the gaze from the village chief, "The orcs lurking in the mountain village. ”

"No, I should have called you ......"

When they were still serving in the barracks, they had a lot of dealings with the orcs, so Pietro easily remembered the existence with similar characteristics to the orc in front of him:

"Rui Beast."
