Chapter 4: Monsters in the Woods

Aisha was so happy that she almost waved her arms and cheered, simply because ...... Someone was talking on the road? Ivan wondered for a moment, and answered honestly.

"Fourteen years old. ”

"I'm fourteen years old, too. Aisha tilted her head and looked at him, "But why do I think you're younger than me?

β€œ...... October. ”

"Wow, you're really younger than me!" I don't know what Aisha is excited about, it seems that in her eyes, Ivan is no longer a stranger, "If only I had a brother like you, hey, it must be fun." ”

This can't be done unless it's not pro. Ivan didn't say what he thought, in fact, he also wanted to say that Aisha's character was not mature at all, and it was almost the same as being a sister.

"Tell me about Messiah, the merchant is so bored, his mind is full of Micoles...... Hey, I've heard them say that there's a lowly monster like a little wood spirit in the depths of the woods, what's the name of that wood?" Aisha shook her long fluttering hair with relish.

"Hey...... Don't tell me that you're going to hunt monsters. Ivan was startled and glanced at her, his gaze unconsciously falling on the Wizard Alliance badge on her neckline and the gun at her waist.

"Of course, of course I don't hunt monsters, because if I go out into the woods, I won't find my way out. "Aisha is still very self-aware," Messiah Island...... The Messiah Island in my mind is like a work of art, yes, like a beautiful white seashell on the sea, dreaming peacefully in the blessing of the Goddess. Hey, Ivan?"

Aisha stopped just in time, noticing that Ivan was once again avoiding her gaze.

"It's not as good as you think. Ivan muttered. Little did he know that the Isle of Messiah was such a wonderful place in the minds of outsiders. Does Aisha know about the war four years ago?

"Hmm......" Asha looked up. The sunlight tinted her hair with a deep honey color, making her look like a little angel bathed in light.

"Ivan, I said. She turned her face sideways, still with a sweet smile, "If you can go to every corner of the world, you will definitely see great scenery." ”

How long had it been since Ivan had been talking to his peers like he was now, and he should have been a little nervous, but after a while, perhaps affected by the warm atmosphere around Aisha, he felt relaxed. On the street leading to the east gate in the small town of Joshua, the bustling crowd of cars and horses vented their vitality in this peaceful small city, and every qiΔ“ was like a dream.

It seems that he has become a person from another world, and suddenly, he has returned to this world and heard the noise of this world.

From the east gate, turn southeast at the fork with a sign, and when the stone-paved road becomes uneven, you enter a small wood. Very few people pass by, and as far as the eye can see, the autumn breeze makes the endless stretch of trees in front of you colorful. Between the dappled treetops, you can faintly hear the sparse chirping of birds, scattering fallen leaves on the ground, and covering the winding gray gravel path.

Fortunately, the road in Ivan's memory was not obscured by the withered yellow weeds that swayed in the wind. The trail was most likely paved by the merchants themselves, and is not comparable to the stone avenue, but once you appreciate it, you will find that it is a great place for hiking.

Ivan didn't care about the autumn scenery along the way. Like a wild sparrow that could not sit idle, Asha talked about topics that didn't really make sense. Before you know it, there is no one in sight on the road, and the rustling sonata of the broad-leaved trees makes people feel the passage of time.

I don't know how long I walked, but the two chatting chatted about what happened in the spice shop.

"-So Ivan, you didn't go buy the ingredients for the bread filling?" Isha widened his eyes as if he had discovered a shocking secret.

"Peppermint leaves for bread filling?" Ivan was also taken aback by Aisha's idea, "No...... I think it's better to use fruits such as peaches for bread filling. ”

"As for fruits, I like strawberries and cherries. Aisha pricked up her fingers and solemnly declared, "A small fruit like a cherry is slowly contained in the mouth, and the taste of happiness is already overflowing before you bite into it, but the aroma of strawberries is even sweeter, especially when the strawberries are ripeβ€”"

"There are no fresh strawberries this season. Ivan couldn't help but give her a small blow.

It was at this time.

There was a thud in the woods as if a huge beast had suddenly scurried by.

Ai Xia, who was still closing his eyes and imagining the smell of strawberries just now, took a step forward suddenly, and his movements were so fast that even Ivan didn't have time to react, and in the blink of an eye, he was already protected by Ai Xia.

"Who?"

Someone in the woods?

The moment Aisha's words fell, there was a terrible crash in the woods, like a heavy object hitting the thick trunk of a tree, accompanied by a scream. Aisha's face changed, and he glanced back at Ivan, who was already frozen.

Aisha grabbed Ivan's wrist and quickly pulled out a golden pistol from the right pouch with his right hand. The red hemispherical gemstone is set in a golden metal circle on the hilt, which is particularly eye-catching. At this time, Ai Xia's body, the slightly coquettish little girl's aura was instantly swept away, she stared at the direction of the impact sound with blazing eyes, and said in an incredibly calm tone.

"Let's go over and see. ”

"Huh?"

"Follow me!"

However, before the two of them could rush into the woods, several large bats suddenly flew into the woods. The creature, which was supposed to be only in the dark, swooped out with the speed of a cheetah, and soon sank again, as if under siege!

"How can there be monsters?"

Aisha frowned, and the muzzle of the raised gun lit up with a red circle of light like a magic array.

Magic Secret Weapon!

There is no doubt that this is no ordinary pistol, but a magic magic weapon. It wasn't the first time Ivan had seen a magic guide secret weapon, but when he saw the magic guide secret weapon in Aisha's hand, he still felt his heart sink.

Isha is indeed a magician, a true magician.

The appearance of Aisha and Ivan quickly attracted the attention of those mutated bats, and the moment the first bat rushed up, the scorching magic power in the red circle of light converged into a red light, flashing like lightning, and the bat's body suddenly began to burn from the inside. The bat's body was the size of a human head, and its black fur was stained with blood.

"Magician!" the besieged men also let out a cry of hope at this time, and ran towards Aisha without hesitation. More mutant bats followed after them. Aisha let go of Ivan's wrist and picked up another pistol in his left handβ€”a silver body inlaid with dark blue magic crystals.

His right hand emitted several red lights in a few seconds, and the dry woods of autumn trembled a little, and were burned into a wall of fire by the fallen bat corpses, but Aisha immediately raised the pistol in his left hand, and the icy cold air immediately spread, stopping the spread of the fire.

And the people who were attacked by the monster bats also showed their figures.

It was three men dressed as miners, all of them wolf. The torn earthy yellow miner's suit was stained with blood. One of the worst uncles was clutching his bleeding arm, his hair wrapped in a bunch of weeds and twigs, as if he had crawled out of the bushes.

"Quick, help us!" the three miners almost crawled in front of Aisha, their dirty faces already distorted with horror. Aisha glanced at them, and unexpectedly, the muzzle of the gun suddenly turned, and the deadly magic magic weapon pistol was aimed at their heads.
