A few days later, Irena and her little teacher Annie flew far away from the ruins of the city where only the last living person was left, and came to this small city that was also in the Northland and had the same thick snow. I stayed in this relatively normal place without many sad stories for two full days, intending to take a good rest here.
"??"
"Really..."
"That guy, the teacher, has been out for so long at noon, but he still hasn't come back... I originally planned to discuss with her whether we should leave here tomorrow!"
"Why……"
"never mind!"
"Ignore her for now. She must have gone to have a big meal alone again. I'd better find a place to eat to fill my stomach, right?"
"I'm starving to death..."
After seeing that it was getting late, Irena thought about it and decided not to wait for a certain guy who had not been seen for a long time. Instead, she put on her coat and left this chic and clean small hotel. Go to a restaurant outside to find something to eat.
Of course, you can order food in the hotel, but...
Now that Irena's hateful teacher has sneaked out to find a big meal alone, her skin is more crystal clear than the ice and snow in winter. Even the snowflakes can't help but melt with shame when they touch it. A talented and beautiful traveling witch, she can't afford to be too simple and shabby, right?
Anyway, it had nothing to do with her jealous teacher. She just simply wanted to find something delicious to eat and drink for herself.
"!?"
"oops!"
"How come you..."
Irena, who was hit as soon as she went out, wanted to scold her, but when she saw the person who hit her glanced back at her, she saw the fierce little face and the pair of frightened eyes. After a moment's hesitation with her deer-like eyes filled with indescribable emotions, she finally said nothing and watched the other party trot away in a hurry.
"Weird guy..."
"Forget it, just ignore her!"
He was just a ferocious child. Although his expression looked a little strange, his clothes were tattered, and he was inexplicably hostile to her, but... Irena thought about it for a while, and she still magnanimously did not pursue it. , directly forgave the other party and continued to turn around and walk forward.
She knew that there was a good restaurant not far away. The food tasted very good, and most importantly, it was very cheap. This was a good thing for Yi, who had recently become a little spendthrift after following a certain little guy, so that her financial situation began to deteriorate. For Reina, it is still a good choice.
Although, her little teacher Annie seems to be very rich, and those strange gold coins seem to be endless, but no matter what, it is not her money after all, so it is not her money when her teacher is not around. When paying on her behalf, she can only do what she can with regard to things like eating, drinking and having fun.
In short, it is probably impossible to eat and drink today, but it is still possible to order a unique meal with local characteristics for yourself.
As for what to do in the future, she hasn't thought about it yet... Maybe she can choose to occasionally go to the Magic Association to take on small tasks along the way, and make money while traveling? But she hasn't figured out how to do it yet. After all, she still has a big financial support. As long as her teacher is still traveling with her and occasionally acting as her mobile wallet, she won't know how to do it for the time being. She was also anxious to think about things that made her a little anxious.
"!!"
However……
"Why?"
At this time, when Irena had just found a seat to sit down and finished ordering her meal with the waiter, and was waiting patiently. Before the waiter could bring her dinner, she unexpectedly discovered: a person she did not An unknown guy in a black woolen coat and a black top hat actually sat directly across from her table?
"Who are you?"
Irena found that there seemed to be a lot of vacancies here, and she didn't know the other party. If the other party wanted to come to her, the youngest person in history, whose beauty and talent radiated, her beauty was not inferior to that of colorful flowers. If you want to talk to a genius witch who blooms like a flower, is as beautiful and cute as a doll, then you are really looking for the wrong person!
Because she doesn't like this kind of uncle at all who has half of his body in the coffin, even if he seems to be very rich! If the other party said something rude later, she would definitely let the other party know what the consequences would be if she casually provoked a powerful witch!
"Excuse me……"
"You are the witch Miss Irena they said was traveling here in our city, right?"
Looking at the ferocious bear head badge on Irena's chest, the visitor frowned subconsciously, then hesitated for a while, and then asked hesitantly.
"Yes!"
"I'm Irena!"
"So……"
"What do you want from me?"
After looking at the rich middle-aged man in front of her who seemed to be a city official, and hearing what he said, she felt that he might not be the boring guy who came to chat with her, Irena nodded, then smiled and asked doubtfully Asked aloud.
"Sorry to disturb you..."
"That's right, because there is a rather difficult matter here. I wonder...can I entrust it to you to handle it for me?"
Of course the man in black knew the price of asking a witch to do things, so before Irena could speak, he hurriedly added:
"Don't worry, we will definitely pay you a reward that is consistent with your status!"
For people like them, money is a trivial matter. All he wants is for the other party to fulfill his commission perfectly.
"Why?"
"It's actually a commission..."
It turned out to be that kind of thing. Irena nodded, without making too much fuss or rejecting it directly. Instead, she asked aloud:
"only……"
"I don't know what kind of commission it is, and how much is the reward? If possible, can you tell me first?"
After all, there are many things in this world that ordinary people cannot handle, so it is only normal to entrust those powerful magicians to do it for them.
However, she, Irena, is not an ordinary magician. She is a powerful one. She is the youngest apprentice witch in the history of Lobetta and the youngest genius official witch in the history of Lobetta. Her strength has far exceeded that of Fu. A senior witch like Teacher Lan!
Although her financial situation is deteriorating recently and she does need money, it is obvious that if the other party's reward is too small or too troublesome, she will not be able to invite a powerful witch to appear. !
"certainly!"
"frankly speaking……"
"This is actually a matter about the orcs. We hope... that you can use the appropriate method to drive this orc out of our merchant country?"
"Look, this is her portrait."
"As for the reward, it needs to be paid based on your evaluation after completing the commission, but no matter what, you will definitely be satisfied in the end!"
As he said that, the man took out a piece of sketch paper with a relatively good drawing skill from his pocket, and on it was a drawing of an ancient monster girl with a pair of sheep-like horns on her head.
"Um?"
"A little girl?"
"It's just, sir, I still don't understand."
After looking at the portrait, then at the other party gesturing at the promised reward, and after listening to the other party's basic explanation, Irena couldn't help but think deeply, but she did not rush to say she agreed or disagreed, but He asked strangely:
"You can do this kind of thing very well yourself. She is just an ordinary orc girl. You can just send some people to drive her away. Why do you have to come to me?"
"That's weird, isn't it?"
"Or……"
"Do you have other plans?"
Irena asked playfully, folding her arms and lying deep in her seat.
Maybe she has been deceived too many times recently, so she is no longer as innocent as before. After listening to what the other party said, she immediately felt that this commission was not simple, and that there might be something ulterior. Inside story?
Or is it……
Does the other party want to do something bad to this foreign witch in the name of the mission?
If that is the case, Irena swears that when the time comes, she will definitely let the other party know what the anger of the "World Destroyer" is! !
"this……"
"All right!"
"Actually, the matter started a month ago..."
Seeing Irena's insistence and seeing that the other party didn't seem to be willing to believe him, there was no other way. The man in black was pondering for a while, and after looking at Irena's weird bear-headed witch badge again, In the end, he didn't hold anything back and slowly told him what he knew and why he wanted to entrust an outside witch.
For example, why did the orc sisters appear in this small city full of humans, why did they turn into something they didn't want to see, and why did they gradually become incompatible with this small city and other residents? As for having to be 'driven' away, they were all explained in detail.
…
"!!"
"It turned out to be like this..."
"Well……"
"I already know! However, I guess that your wishes and this commission are not simply driven away. They may also include some other contents, right?"
"This is indeed a bit tricky, and if what you say is true, I'm afraid it won't be completed in a short time."
After listening to the other party's explanation and thinking about it for a while, Irena roughly understood the reason why the other party wanted to find an outside witch like herself to complete the task.
turn out to be……
Is everything the fault of sins committed by some people in this trading city-state composed of merchants?
The target of the commission, the orc sister named Ailijie, and her sister named Milina. They and their orc parents originally lived in the forest near the city... However, one day, their parents were kidnapped by a group of businessmen. They were killed, and out of guilt, they took the two poor, helpless orc girls and sisters into the city, and gave them new houses. While protecting them, they also It can prevent them from being harmed again.
But the result...
What is somewhat ironic is that although they have tried very hard to protect them, there were still negligence and mistakes in the end!
One night, the group of businessmen broke into their home with weapons... Then, the two girls would definitely not be able to fight against a group of adults, even the orcs with extraordinary talents!
In short, they had no way of knowing what happened that night. Anyway, in the end, they only learned from the mouths of the thugs: after a fight, the orc sister Milina was stabbed to death by dozens of knives, and One of the thugs was also killed, and finally, the new house was burned to the ground at the same time!
Although those thugs have been detained and duly punished, since then, the only surviving orc sister, Ellie, is no longer willing to trust anyone in their city, and her behavior has become increasingly weird. They are becoming more and more aggressive...even if they really want to help each other.
"So, I ask you, Your Majesty the Witch, to accept this commission and ask her to leave this city in a way that you think is gentle and won't hurt her?"
"After all, the gap between us and her is irreparable now. In order not to hurt her or let her hurt others, I can only entrust an outsider like you with this."
"Although you are unlikely to be able to restore her to normal even if you are a witch, but..."
"We still want to try and end this. If you, the Witch, can do it, we will definitely not be stingy with those gold coins."
Sighing, after the man finished explaining the situation, he silently waited for Irena's response.
"Um……"
"What a sad story..."
Irena felt that if what the other party said was all true, then the other party's attitude at this time was a bit hypocritical. After all, others were originally good, but if these people could not restrain their own people, how could such a tragic thing happen? ?
"but……"
"We should stay here for a while, so, I have decided to accept your commission! But it is very late tonight, and I will not start work until tomorrow, okay?"
After thinking about it, her teacher seemed to like it here, so Irena nodded and agreed.
However, while agreeing, she planned to conduct a thorough investigation and observation for one night to ensure whether what the other party said was the truth.
As for how to investigate, she has plenty of ideas!
After all, she is a witch, and she is very good at spells like Legilimency that deal with ordinary people's memories! And after she completes the investigation and knows all the truth, she will naturally do what she thinks is worth doing.
"Thank you so much!"
"So……"
"I won't disturb your meal, we will wait for your reply!"
Seeing that the waiter had already served a dinner for one person, the man in black clothes wisely stood up and bowed goodbye in a timely manner, not intending to disturb the witch in front of him any more, so as not to arouse dislike. What.
"OK!"
Irena was a little hesitant.
"Orcs..."
However, when the other party left in a hurry and looked down at the sketch photo left on the table, she began to think deeply.
"All right!"
"Anyway, after the investigation is clear, we need to discuss it with the teacher carefully before going back at night..."
"As for now, let's eat first!"
"ha!"
After gently tapping the sketch 'photo' with her finger, it was put away and disappeared in an instant. Irena then stretched a lot, and slightly revealed an astonishing beauty from the simple witch robe. After the arc, he started to pick up the tableware and start eating.
But...
What Irena didn't know was that while she was eating, a little girl who was eating and drinking in another place was looking at her with curious eyes. The street view.
"Strange……"
(????ˇ??ˇ????)
"Tibbers, look at that guy with the horns on his head. Why does she look weird?"
(^~^;)ゞ
Annie discovered that a guy in rags on the street stole an apple from a stall owner, but the stall owner not only did not punish him, but also gave him another bag of food?
Of course, what's even stranger is...
That poor-looking guy actually rejected the stall owner's kindness, threw the things he had kindly prepared on the ground like snakes and scorpions, and ran away with the two apples she 'stolen'?
"How strange!"
(ー`??ー)
"But it seems like it's fun?"
(????ω????)
As she watched, Annie became interested.
So, after she had eaten and drank enough, she was ready to take a closer look to see what was going on with that guy, why he behaved so abnormally, why he would not be scolded for stealing, and even tolerated it a little bit. ?
(…)
(● ̄(??) ̄●)
(Tibbers knows that it is not actually an interesting thing, it is just that the bad little master of his family has to find something to do when he is full and has nothing to do!)
"Let's go!"
????(????`??)??????
"Tibbers, let's go take a look!"
-=???????=????????(??)??
After casually throwing a gold coin on the table, without waiting for the waiter to give her change, Annie directly picked up one of the legs of her little bear Tibbs, and then jumped out.
