Chapter 26: The Lost Story (Part II)
"If you can get your crow friends, why don't you just ask them to steal the bottle out of the human-faced bird's nest for you?"
"They're just passing by and helping out, they can't steal it. One is because they are not the opponent of the human-faced demon bird, and the other is because~" Speaking of this, the little earth spirit mysteriously shrunk his neck and looked around, and his voice was a big circle, "The old witch's crows are also often haunted nearby, secretly monitoring me, even if they take advantage of the fact that the human-faced demon bird is out to hunt and is not there, they will be attacked by the crows under the old witch's hands." I don't want to put my friends in danger for the sake of my voice, they're all my friends. ”
Looking at Johnny's confident face, the words in his mouth made Geralt and Luo Xian frown. I thought that since entering the swamp, I have encountered many crows along the way. If the words of the little earth spirit are true, then even if not all of them, as long as there are only a few witches' eyeliners, wouldn't everything they do be under the watchful eye of witches?
It seems that you must be careful when acting in the swamp in the future.
"How did your voice get into the vial?, I'm curious how can you lock a person's voice inside?" Luo Xian asked with a smile.
"I don't know, maybe it's because of witchcraft, and I won't do those weird secret arts. But I know the old witch must be jealous of my natural voice. Sometimes when I open my mouth, it is as clear as a stream in the forest, and sometimes it is as deafening as a thunderbolt from the sky. To be honest, I can't close my chatterbox as soon as I open it. Xiao Diling looked self-righteous, looking as if Luo Xian's words were praising him, and he couldn't help but shrug his nose and become proud.
"That's magic, someone has cast a powerful spell on you and wants you to shut up. I don't know if it's a joke or if I want your life, depriving a little earth spirit of its voice is like taking away his soul. Geralt said from the side.
The little earth spirit nodded vigorously while listening, and very much agreed with the words of the demon hunter, not letting him speak, it really killed him. These days, he hides in the crypt where he lives, and he doesn't dare to go anywhere, not even his favorite friends.
"Alright, now that your voice has been retrieved, it's time to get down to business. Have you ever seen a young woman with gray hair and a scar on her face? We've been looking for her for a long time, hoping to get some clues from you. Geralt re-emphasized the purpose of the two, reminding Johnny not to take the conversation too far.
"Okay~Okay~, of course I've seen the young woman you mentioned. Xiao Diling shrugged helplessly, spread his hands and said.
"Really, are you sure the woman has a scar on her face?"
"Of course, I remember it clearly. That morning, I went out to the toilet as soon as I got up, and it was the most enjoyable part of my day. Facing the rising sun from the horizon to clear the stool in your body is simply refreshing, and I highly recommend you to try it too..."The little earth spirit is really like his own words, once he opens his mouth, he doesn't know where to go.
Geralt's eyebrows moved, apparently suppressing the anger and not speaking. Instead, Luo Xian smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, I don't have to go to the toilet, I don't have that function anymore." ”
"Oh, my God, then you have really lost one of the great joys of life, my masked friend, I wonder, don't you eat and drink, don't you have a bloated belly?" said Johnny, as he reached out his little hand to touch the small-looking belly under Roxian's black robe.
"This is not something you should care about, now let's get to the point~" Geralt finally couldn't help it, and his tone stiffened a little.
"Okay, whatever you want, but I'd like you to find a better witch doctor to get your body checked. It's not a good thing not to be able to get rid of the garbage in time..."Johnny said this, seeing Geralt's eyes widen and widen, and immediately turned back, "Well, I was in the middle of my heart, when I suddenly heard a loud noise from the nearby woods, so loud that even I couldn't make it. ”
The ground began to shake, and I was so frightened that I quickly got up from the haystack and looked in the direction of the loud noise. Johnny said, looking at it with his hands.
"A big deep blue hole just appeared in the air, and it was still vertical, I dare say not many people have ever seen this kind of scene. The deep hole was big and round, and it was still spinning slowly in the air, and I didn't know where it led, but it was definitely not our world anyway. Johnny was a little verbose, but as he had said, he described the situation clearly enough that in a few words he copied the scene he had seen, and it was displayed in Rason's mind as if it were real.
And then the little girl of which you spoke appeared, and she was as you had described, with long gray hair tied back at the back of her head, young and pretty, and a scar on her left eye, which went from the center of her brow to her left cheek, and looked very dangerous. I bet she definitely came out of that mysterious hole. Johnny became agitated at this point, and jumped to his feet from time to time, showing his anger at the time.
"She was in a terrible situation at the time?" the first time he received definite news of his adopted daughter from the mouths of others, even Geralt, who was as cold as a wolf, couldn't help but be anxious.
Johnny nodded, "She's covered in injuries and out of breath, and she's running all the way through me like a gust of wind, as if she's dodging something, or something behind her is chasing her." My Uncle Johnny didn't care so much, she ruined my morning mood, so I scolded her a few words, but unfortunately she ran too fast, so she shouldn't have heard. ”
"By the way, she also has a flashing spell, which is the kind of spell that suddenly disappears in place during the sprinting movement, and then immediately appears from a place more than twenty meters away, and continues to run forward. Perhaps, it was only by virtue of this secret technique that she was lucky enough to escape my wrath. Now that you have helped me, she is my friend, and she is the person you are looking for, and she is my friend. For her offense that morning, my Uncle Johnny kindly stopped pursuing it. When you find her, just tell her, don't worry about it. Johnny said this, waving his hand nonchalantly, showing a look that I don't mind.
Luo Xian wanted to laugh, but Geralt's face was even colder, "If I find her, I will definitely tell her." ”
"Where did the girl end up? Johnny, did you see that?" Luo Xian quickly interjected.
"It's the village you came from, and the old witch lives there, and I don't dare to go there casually. I wanted to sneak around in the afternoon to play with friends, but I don't know why, after that morning, it didn't take long for me to fall asleep, and when I woke up, my voice disappeared..."
Hearing this, Luo Xian chuckled in his heart, not long after the little earth spirit met Xiri, his voice was lost, could it be because of the witch?
The witch must have seen Ciri, and there should be other secrets in the village, not just the old woman and the orphan!
Thinking of this, Luo Xian couldn't help but look at Geralt, and happened to see Geralt looking at him.
