【Chapter 20】The Witches Who Fish and Paddle Water

"Wake up, wake up!"

Half-asleep, Rune heard an urgent call.

The bitterness in his throat has not dissipated so far.

Rune couldn't help but cough dryly.

Heavy eyelids slowly opened.

He saw the wooden roof, and he saw the chandelier painted with dark purple lacquer.

A faint halo spreads across the room.

Ah, it's a strange ceiling.

Lune barely got up from the soft bed, weak, his limbs aching, his whole body was so weak that he couldn't describe his current state with a lack of vocabulary.

He held back for a long time, and finally found a more suitable description.

This feeling is comparable to when Lune became a heavy little foreigner.

Confusion.

Luan barely knew why he was so weak.

On the one hand, there is the side effect of debranding fusion.

On the one hand, it was poisoned by the poisonous dragon Hertz.

"How's your body?"

A voice of concern came from the side.

Luan turned his head, and he saw the blond girl with red and swollen eyes, and some clear tears on her face showed the grief in the little princess's heart, and some kind of ......

Glad?

"Karma."

Lu En screamed softly, indicating that he was fine, he opened his attribute panel and took a look, the poisoning state has been lifted, the blood volume is not a big problem, and it is recovering rapidly with time.

However, Lune also noticed that a green attribute bar appeared in the lower right corner.

Consciousness gathering.

It's prominently displayed.

[Current Poison Brand Collection Progress: 1/100]

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with her dragon cub, Diana finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and her tense body slowly relaxed.

"It's okay if you're okay, it's okay if you're okay......"

Diana muttered to herself, repeating a few words.

Lune suddenly lost consciousness and fell from the sky, which really startled everyone.

Thanks to the fact that Lune flew right out of the Plague Mountains' poisonous gas range, this also allowed the guards of nearby towns to come to the rescue.

From afar, the guards in charge of the guard saw a white dragon covered in fire falling from the sky in the rain.

They felt the scene for the first time, after discovering that several members of the Iron Beast Mercenary Regiment were more or less infected with the epidemic.

The guards immediately took them back to the town and let them receive professional treatment.

Listening to what Diana had to say, Rune began to look around and take in the surroundings.

The whole room presents an atmosphere of mystery that is difficult to tell.

On the wooden door that opens to the inside of the house hangs an old bronze door sign with gold inscription: Medri's Magic Item Shop.

The walls looked like they were made of some kind of blue-purple magic crystal, still shimmering with a faint magical light.

The interior of the house emits a faint purple smoke with a complex mix of sweet and bitter flavors.

The spacious room is filled with all kinds of strange magic items.

A row of shelves displays a variety of magic potion bottles.

Some of these crystal bottles contained blue liquid, labeled as [Healing Elixir], while others contained green smoke and were labeled [Advanced Strength Boosting Spray].

There are also bottles with big hearts and thick sticks painted on them, respectively [Love Potion for Night] and [Transfiguration Potion for Night], etc.

The corners of Rune's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart that there was really nothing wrong with this kind of store?

Those things give people an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

It's like the prop shop that is only open at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night......

It would be even more like a little hypnotic pills, as well as all kinds of exaggerated costumes and oddly shaped props......

The other side of the house.

A large wall is covered with parchment scrolls with various magical spells and charms, and the handwriting drawn by magic is elegant, deep and mysterious, or fluid and lively.

These magic scrolls are capable of inducing a variety of magical effects, whether it's igniting fire, freezing ice, or making objects invisible, all of which can be mastered by infusing them with magical power.

In the middle of the house, there was a long table filled with various thick magic books.

Some of the books were opened by their master and placed haphazardly on the table, and Rune glanced at them cursoryly.

The wide variety of texts provides detailed instructions on how to use different types of spells and spells, from basic beginners to advanced techniques.

It looks like a house used by a witch to live in, and it also doubles as a magic shop.

Rune glanced at the wooden door of the room again.

Medri's Magic Item Shop.

Medley ......

Rune's mind came to mind of the woman with a peaked high hat and a full body.

It turns out that I was saved by her......

"Karma?"

Lun wanted to ask about Ace's condition.

But he didn't know what to say, and Luan sat on the soft bed and drew a winged human with his little paws.

Diana knew what she was trying to say.

She explained.

"Ace is next door, being treated by the Witch of Hemmer with medicinal herbs, I'll take you there."

said.

Diana reached out and put her hand under the armpit of the young dragon's front paws, and just like that, she picked up the light young dragon with a gentle movement, as if she was holding a cat and a cat worm.

"Karma."

Lune didn't struggle either, only the tail suspended in the air swayed slowly, showing the irritability in the heart of the cute young dragon.

He had a lot of questions on his mind.

Luan couldn't figure out why Hertz, the poison dragon, was so targeted at him.

And, what the hell is the Brand of Poison.

Is it related to the fusion of the imprints you have mastered?

In normal times, Lu would never dwell on these inexplicable things.

But after today's events.

Lune found that these were tied to his own life.

If Lune doesn't kill the poisonous dragon Hertz, they will kill themselves.

At that time, don't talk about being a young dragon waiting to die, I am afraid that I will become a crunchy spicy strip in someone else's mouth.

So, Lune was desperate to find out what the Poison Brand was.

As for the muscle archmage Mars, who is in charge of the broken muscle, can he kill the poisonous dragon Hertz?

Lune didn't expect much, and even prepared for the worst.

After all, judging from the current situation, this archmage is full of death flags behind his back, and even has all kinds of mortal conditions.

Even in the next second, the system may pop up the achievement of [Second Round, Death of Archmage Mars].

Game life, game of life.

Luan has always treated this so-called otherworld as a game.

I'm a player, and everyone else is just a story NPC.

Lune didn't think he would have too many mood swings.

He never really became a member of this world.

But......

But Lune remembered the muscular and greasy back, and his eyes were so spicy, and he remembered the scene when the archmage secretly asked him to protect the princess Diana.

The heavy emotions in that commission had been something that Lune had always wanted to ignore.

It's just a game, just be happy, what are you doing with so much bitterness.

Not sure why.

It was precisely like this, but Lune's heart was sour.

Obviously, Lun already knew that Archmage Mars was most likely going to send it.

He couldn't accept that.

Maybe.

What Lu really can't accept is just himself......

Feeling the uneasiness of the young dragon, Diana couldn't help but hug the young dragon in her arms even tighter.

The two small figures hugged each other at this moment, not wanting to be separated, not wanting to let go.

"Don't be afraid...... Don't be afraid...... Mom...... Mom's ...... here."

Even Diana was very worried about the safety of the archmage Mars.

It was the master she got along with day and night, and it was the master she regarded as family, and it was Archmage Mars who took care of Diana when Emperor Ramon's affairs were busy.

That's the real "father".

Diana didn't know what the future would hold.

Anxiety and panic are fermenting in the shadows.

At least, at this moment, in front of Rune, Diana knew she had to be strong.

After all.

I'm a mother.

"You two come over here, there's something for you...... What are you doing, you old witch?! ”

Diana and Rune had just walked out of the room when they saw two witches, one tall and one short, coming out of the herb shop next to them.

The man and woman waved at the two of them, and the Witch Medria wanted to say a few more words.

But the Witch Helmer on the side actually patted the towering part of the friend next to her mercilessly.

Witch Medria wanted to scream a few more times.

Hemmer, however, completely ignored her sluggish companion, her face cold and somewhat serious.

According to court etiquette, he bowed his head to Diana, which was an elegant gesture of stroking his chest.

"Her Royal Highness...... ...... scared you before"

At this time, Diana instantly understood that the other party was also from the palace.

According to the rules, she was in a hurry, and also replied with a salute and asked, "Are you ...... Do you know me? ”

"Your Highness, it's also an honor. When you were a child, you had a relationship. I didn't expect you to grow so big ten years later. ”

Hemmer gestured humbly and replied earnestly.

At this time, Medria realized that she had already realized it, and as soon as she clapped her hands, she instantly understood why Archmage Mars was following behind the Iron Beast Mercenary Regiment.

The Witch Medria panicked and hurriedly saluted Diana.

This is the sphere of influence of the royal capital.

The whole world is not the king's land, and the power of the emperor is unlimited!

The emperor could not be desecrated, and his descendants and members of the royal family were also mythologized.

Medley had never seen Diana, the little princess, and was inevitably a little curious.

It's just that she didn't expect that this cute and loving young girl was not a high-minded and indifferent character, very approachable, like a warm day.

"Those rules are waived. How is Brother Ace's health? ”

This is the focus of Diana's concern.

"I'm ashamed to say that. Even though we're all witches under the guidance of Archmage Mars, we're a little powerless against the damage caused by the Poison Brand. ”

Hemmer bowed his head and apologized, and the loss in his tone could not be hidden.

This directly caused Diana's mood to fall directly to the bottom.

She pursed her lips, the corners of her mouth still trembling a little, and she forced herself to endure the sadness in her heart.

"Is there really no way? What the hell are those imprints......"

Hemmer and Medriy glanced at each other, made eye contact, and found that both sides thought about the same, and they directly said: "Actually, there is a way......

For so many years, they have been guarding the secrets of the poison brand, and now it seems that their duties are over today.

"This is not the place to speak, Your Highness. Let's go inside. ”

Hemmer looked around and saw that the people in the town weren't paying attention to her, and she immediately dragged Diana back to Medri's prop shop.

Entered the house.

That's when Hemmer and Medley reveal their true identities.

They are all orphans who were rescued by the archmage Mars in the early years, and they have been learning spells with Mars since childhood, and they are one of the few serious students of Professor Mars.

Hemmer is a sixth-order promoter, while Medria is a fifth-order promoter.

Ten years ago, they were commissioned by Archmage Mars to guard the poisonous imprint, and they were also monitoring the direction of the poisonous gas in the Plague Mountain Range, and they were observing the direction of the poisonous fog every day.

"The Brand of Poison belongs to one of the top powers in the world. If you control it completely, it will destroy the world and become the embodiment of the epidemic. Since the fall of the Green Dragon King, his body has completely assimilated to the poison brand, and even the entire mountain range in seclusion has been corrupted by the power of the brand. ”

The Witch told Diana about the ins and outs of the incident.

"Maybe it's to contain the Lost Brand, or maybe it's to solve the existence of the Plague Mountain Range from the root, more than ten years ago, Emperor Ramon personally led the plan to extract the Poison Brand, but unfortunately, the plan has mutated for unknown reasons. The Poison Brand went violent, and after the plan failed, the Brand spread completely. So much so that the cave where the poison brand is located is no longer accessible. ”

In order to prevent the further spread of the power of the poison brand, someone must monitor the movement in the Blighted Mountain Range in real time, so the two witches will guard the entrance of the Blighted Mountain Range at close range.

They had gone deep into the Blight Mountains in the early years, and after several expeditions, they confirmed one thing, and the power of the poison brand shrank back and did not spread out of the Blight Mountains.

The incident did not deteriorate further, which is good news.

As for how to deal with the brand of poison in the future, they have also reported to their superiors, but there has been no news of their layoffs.

Therefore, Hemmer and Medley only began to let themselves go in the later period, and they already regarded this as a public tour.

On the one hand, he takes the wages and subsidies of the empire, and on the other hand, he can earn extra money.

Ten years have passed, and they have all become accustomed to this slow and leisurely life.

Who knows, last night, a poisonous dragon suddenly sneaked in, plunged into the depths of the Blight Mountain Range, and began to look for the brand of poison.

At this time, the two witches who paddled all day long, fished and mixed wages, realized that something was wrong.

It's not a matter of keeping your job......

"Something, that's probably it."

The Witch Medriel smiled awkwardly, although they had already contacted the royal capital at this time, the eldest prince decided to personally lead someone to defeat the poisonous dragon Hertz.

However, this can only be regarded as a remedy.

The two witches had already explained to Diana and Rune all the information they had.

The brand is the embodiment of some kind of rule, which in the past caused infighting among the dragons, and the Weaving Demon Dragon slaughtered many of its fellow clans in order to collect the brand.

"All in all. There is only one way to save the winged subhuman, and to use the power of the brand to fight against the brand. ”

The Witch of Hemmer spoke her mind.

"Branding?"

This topic puzzled Diana, she really didn't know where she was going to get the brand, and according to common sense, all the branding was gone.

"If I'm guessing correctly, both of you now have the power of imprint in your body."

Hemmer's words surprised both Lune and Diana.

Diana, in particular, couldn't think of such a thing at all.

She pointed at herself.

"Imprinted in my body?"
