Chapter 52: Little Earth Spirit Cub

Time passed little by little, and the moonlight gradually dimmed, which was the darkness before dawn and the time when humans slept most soundly.

Just when Wayne thought he was going to be back tonight.

I don't know if it's the role of luck attributes, but his keen vision suddenly saw that a child's palm stretched out of the wellhead and scrambled at the edge of the well.

Wayne's eyes froze, he guessed correctly, the monster really came out of the well.

However, he did not act rashly, but quietly hid in the shadows, wanting to take the opportunity to see what this monster wanted to do.

After more than ten seconds, a metal watering can was thrown out of the well, and then a small thing with blue and purple skin, a wreath on its head, and a pair of big watery eyes, crawled out of the well.

Wayne looked at it, and sure enough, he didn't guess wrong, the source of this matter was really a small earth spirit, and it was a fairly young little earth spirit.

This discovery made Wayne quietly breathe a sigh of relief, compared to those demons or other monsters, the little earth spirits are definitely kind and docile, peace-loving intelligent creatures.

This is a kind of shy, intelligent, hard-working, like to take care of other flowers and plants or small animals near the place of residence, and is also called a guardian spirit by many scholars.

They are similar in behavior and appearance to human children, and are just as fond of pranks as children.

When he is treated kindly, he will secretly help the locals do what he can.

When they are treated roughly, they feel offended and use pranks and magic tricks to trick the locals.

But these creatures don't like the hustle and bustle of the environment, and when a village grows and becomes more prosperous and rich, forgetting its traditions, they will quietly leave the village and migrate to more remote caves or unknown places.

Recalling the knowledge about the little earth spirits recorded in these books, Wayne quietly peeked through the second-floor window to watch the little one's movements.

This is supposed to be a young earth spirit of a woman, with purple skin, wearing a wet unknown animal skin coat, ugly to humans, but quite mild, with a feeling of ugliness and cuteness.

When she climbed up the well, she looked around a little bewilderedly, and when she saw that no one noticed her, she carefully picked up the metal watering can she had thrown out, looked at the well, and grunted an unknown incantation.

The metal watering can slowly floated into the air under the power of magic, then descended into the well, and flew out again, filled with clear water.

This scene made Wayne a little surprised, although the intelligent creature of the little earth spirit, although it is said that it also has some special abilities similar to spells, but it is quite rare for a juvenile body like this to be proficient in using magic.

After using the magic to draw water, the little earth spirit also seemed to be quite happy, and she lifted the metal watering can with some difficulty, and then swayed around the house, slowly from the backyard to the garden in the front yard.

While humming strange songs, he watered the flowers and trees in the garden with a kettle, and picked up a small shovel in the garden to help the flowers and plants loosen the soil and fertilize them, like a hard-working little gardener.

Seeing this scene, Wayne's heart suddenly changed.

It's no wonder that the flowers and plants in the garden can still grow so luxuriantly after the owner of this place leaves, it turns out that someone secretly took care of them at night.

Although she was only half a meter tall and thin, she struggled to do her work, but Wayne could tell that the little guy seemed to be enjoying it.

After about an hour, the little earth spirit ran back and forth between the well and the front yard four or five times, and it was not until the sun was about to rise that she finished all the work.

Then, the little guy wiped the sweat from his forehead and put the used tools back one by one, as if ready to return.

Watching the little guy holding the metal watering can, turning around three times in one step, and reluctantly walking towards the location of the well, Wayne couldn't help but show a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He quietly tumbled down from the second floor, and hid himself in the corner of the room, until the little one walked past him, and then he coughed lightly and spoke:

"Hey! What's your name, little one? ”

Wayne's voice was visibly startled.

The little guy shuddered when he heard this, and couldn't help but take two or three steps back, and the metal watering can in his hand also fell to the ground, and the big eyes of the water spirit looked at Wayne with some horror, and his whole body trembled a little.

Seeing this, Wayne also took a step back, and raised his hands to signal to himself, not intending to hurt her.

But the little Earth Spirit cub seemed to be very scared of humans, even if Wayne was acting harmless to humans and animals.

I saw her pick up a colorful little conch hanging on her chest with her little hand, and blow it gently, in Wayne's surprised gaze, the little guy's body gradually became transparent, and finally disappeared directly in front of his eyes.

If she was facing an ordinary person, she might panic and think that the little earth spirit had disappeared directly.

But the badge on Wayne's chest, and his keen senses, told him that the little guy in front of him probably just used some kind of illusion to hide his figure, and her body was still in front of him.

The most obvious evidence of this is the small footprints that the little one stepped on on the grass in the backyard when he moved.

Wayne chuckled, looked at where the footprints moved, and said kindly:

"Don't worry, little one, I'm a witcher, but I have no ill will, I'm just here to talk to you."

The word witcher, as if it was the witcher, caught the little one's attention, and she stopped moving, and there was silence in the air for about a dozen seconds.

A childish voice came from the air.

"Witcher? Is that the kind of person whose profession is to kill evil monsters? I've seen these stories in books. ”

Wayne thought for a moment and did not affirm this statement, but explained:

"Yes, but a person's profession does not change his good and evil, even if it is a demon hunter, there are bad people, and some demon hunters will also kill innocents indiscriminately, not just kill evil monsters."

The little one's voice was silent for a few more seconds, and then he asked:

"You said you wanted to talk, Witcher, what do you want to talk about?"

The little guy seemed to be quite intelligent, even more intelligent than the human girls of the same grade, and Wayne was also interested, saying:

"I received news that the owner of this house has been subjected to all kinds of pranks, nightmares every night, and some injuries from it."

"This is a human house, why are you doing this, why are you driving them away?"

Hearing Wayne's words, the little guy immediately denied it and said:

"No, it wasn't me, it was my brother Fitz who thought that these humans had disturbed the altar of the goddess and that they had to be driven away, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the goddess."

"My father stopped him, but my brother was too stubborn to listen to his father's advice."

"Those humans, he quietly drove them away."

Wayne was stunned when he heard this, it seemed that he had guessed wrong, the source of this matter was not just a small earth spirit, but a small earth spirit's family, and even the goddess was involved.

"Which goddess is it? Bub. ”

"Is the altar of the goddess near here?"

The little earth spirit seemed to be quite innocent, she thought about it for a few seconds, and still said without concealment:

"It's the goddess of the lake, and the altar that our family has worshiped for generations is in the cave beneath this house."

"You humans have affected the peace of the goddess by building big houses on it, making all kinds of noise every day, driving away the creatures around you."

"That's why my brother is so angry and wants to get rid of the people in this house."
