Chapter 9: The Witch's Linguistic Talent
The coma caused by the mana overdraft is not intense, and it usually wakes up quickly.
When the witch opened her eyes again, she wouldn't even find herself lying in a carriage if it weren't for her superior sense, because it was so smooth.
The physical shock absorption system can't reach this level, and the only explanation is that it works magically.
"Are you awake?" The girl's voice seemed to be a bit rude to hear the girl's curiosity and three points in her ears.
But now the witch obviously didn't have time to dwell on these details, she barely stood up, raised her head and asked, "You saved me....... Is it? β
Before she finished speaking, the witch's pupils contracted slightly, just because she saw the girl in front of herβthe pair of batwings behind her.
Speaking of which, the previous teleportation was just a desperate choice, and the witch chose the destination of Scarlet's castle with very little hope.
In this dark age, she can't hope for people's moral standards, and she can easily deal with the depletion of her magic in the wilderness, whether it is a robber or a beast.
So all she could do was put her hope in Scarlett, a family of former vampire bloodline.
Now it seems that she made the right bet.
Only, why do the descendants of vampires have demonic characteristics?
"Thank you." The witch thanked her seriously, no matter what, it was the other party who saved herself in a desperate situation, and she accepted this favor.
After arriving at Xie, the witch noticed that there was a lot of luggage in the not too big carriage, and most of it was for daily use, which was like-
"Are you going to go far away?" The witch asked tentatively.
"Sort of." It was Gloria who answered the witch, and she didn't seem to know how to speak, and she looked like she wanted to say something.
"If you don't mind, allow me to walk with you until my mana is restored."
As she spoke, the witch showed an apologetic expression: "Actually, I was being hunted by the knights of the church before, and I was accidentally injured by them and left blood behind, I'm afraid it won't be long before they track my location...... Let's go our separate ways, I'm afraid we'll get you involved. β
The witch's heart is unexpectedly kind, she knows that she has been targeted by the church, but the situation of Scarlett is even worse, demons and vampires, either of which is the inevitable target of the church's purification.
She thought that she had caused trouble to the other party, and her expression was a little gloomy.
It's just that after hearing the witch's words, Remilia and Gloria's expressions were a little strange.
"What, what's wrong?" The witches didn't seem to understand why they reacted the way they did.
Gloria turned her head in embarrassment and didn't speak, while Remilia was even more straightforward, lowering her head and starting to tease her sister in her arms.
The atmosphere in the carriage was a little silent for a while.
"Ahem."
In the end, the boy chose to stand up, he pushed open half of the carriage door, and smiled apologetically at the witch: "Actually, ......"
Under the boy's lengthy and unfocused explanations, it took the witch a while to sort out the useful information.
Then, her face turned from white to red, and then from red to black.
"You brought the knights of the Church?!"
"Well, if you want to say that, it can't be all my fault, that magic book is real, and that liar is also called by you to fool us." The boy's brazenness seems to be a bit out of the witch's expectations.
"Youβ" The witch choked on and couldn't speak.
Born in these terrible times, as the party blacklisted by the church, they are destined to not be able to walk in the sun in the open, and can only rely on such a roundabout temptation to distinguish between friend and foe.
The witch's approach was just to confirm Scarlet's details, as evidenced by the mediocre magic book.
She felt extremely angry when she was beaten upside down, if it weren't for the poor physical condition at the moment, she really wanted to throw a fireball on the boy's head to make him feel the real warmth.
"Hmph....... Ahem, ahem! The angry witch felt dizzy for a while, and the physical problems caused by the upsurge of qi and blood made her already unhealthy face a little paler.
"Hey, are you alright?" Seeing the witch's terrible physical condition, the young man hurriedly motioned to Gloria next to him to help her with his eyes.
The resentment in her heart has not yet dissipated, and the witch obviously does not want to accept their help, but the weakness of her body makes it impossible for her to refuse.
"Asthma, and anemia, your body is already like this at this time?" Seeing the witch's physical condition at a glance, the young man asked in surprise.
It seemed that she was surprised that the young man could see through her condition at a glance, and the witch was a little surprised, and Fang Cai's anger was also alleviated a lot under the raging illness.
"What do you mean?" Reading the different meaning of the young man's words, the witch asked rhetorically, "Is it possible, have you seen me before?" β
"No, not really."
The boy was quick to deny it, and he just said lightly: "I thought you left such a root of disease after those battles. β
"Fighting? Ah, do you say with the knights of the church, oh, it's not that simple. β
Although he misunderstood the boy's meaning, the witch still gave his curious answer: "My physical weakness is a congenital factor, and my family performed some kind of ritual a few generations ago to exchange the health of the body for more magical power, this kind of thing....... You're probably no stranger to it. β
As she spoke, the witch set her eyes on Remilia, and her batwing stood out at this moment.
The young man narrowed his eyes and did not speak, which was considered a tacit acquiescence, although the truth was different from what he imagined, but it was somewhat expected.
"To reintroduce me, my name is Patchouli," the witch said her name to the crowd, "Patchury Noregi." β
As a witch, although there is not much need to keep the name secret, it is also a solemn expression to take the initiative to confess her real name.
The boy didn't speak, and after a short silence, Remilia suddenly realized that she was Scarlet's master, so she also reported her name: "Remilia Scarlet." β
The witch was a little surprised, it stands to reason that the name of the demon should not be able to be easily said, otherwise it will be easy to be targeted as a weakness.
But what she didn't know was that as a hybrid of a demon and a vampire, Remilia didn't have her real name to see through this weakness.
However, to the witch's greatest surprise, after announcing her name, Remilia turned to the boy and asked, "Can you take her with you, Ernie-chan?" β
In fact, Remilia only felt that there was a strange attraction about Pache Lily, a special feeling like the intimacy of the first time she met the boy, a sense of destined identity between them.
That's why Remilia rescued Pache and chose to take her with her to escape, even if it would lead to the Church's pursuit.
But Pache didn't have any problem with Remilia's thoughts, all she cared about was what she called the boy.
The witch looked at Remilia's batwing in a daze, and then at the boy's unremarkable human appearance, with an extremely strange expression on her face.
Being stared at like that, the boy finally understood.
Once upon a time...... Well, theoretically, it must have been a long time later, when he was trying to do magic to a certain black and white, that linguistics was among the compulsory subjects of witches.
It is not to learn all the languages in the world, but to interpret the meaning of all languages through the guidance of magic.
In other words, this witch of Europa definitely understands the true meaning of that title.
Thinking of this, the pit that the young man had buried because of a bad taste at that time seemed to bury himself this time......
