It was getting dark, and the sky at the junction became gloomy again, and the golden tree, whose light was a little dim during the day, and sometimes only the faint outline could be seen, became brighter again.
Of course, that's not what happened to the golden tree, it's just because time has entered the night, so without more light interference, the faint light emitted by the golden tree looks clearer and brighter. Just a little bit.
"..."
At this time, on the high wall at the main gate of Stonewell Castle, a black figure wearing a cloak and a hood, who looked slightly slender and seemed to be a woman, was standing there silently. And motionless.
If Anne were here at this time, she would definitely find that the mysterious person was not who he was. He had teleported her to the wilderness of Nimgefu inexplicably, and then made her crippled again. It took a long time to return to the initiator of Stonewell City—Melina!
"..."
Melina was still standing motionless on the high wall of Stonewell Castle.
In fact, she has been here for a long time, probably since nightfall?
During this time, there were soldiers standing guard not far from her position, but she was not worried.
Because she cast some kind of concealment spell on herself, she didn't mind being discovered by the ordinary soldiers in the distance who were huddled and napping under the crenellations of the high wall with their weapons in hand.
At this moment, she was silently staring at the ruins of the dilapidated city located under the cliff and high mountain, and staring at a courtyard.
Because, she saw, there was a faint white light, which was essentially different from the firelight inside and outside the castle and the sentry at the entrance to the city.
She knew that it must be the lighting spell of that annoying little girl Annie. Now, the other party stopped in that yard. It seemed that tonight, the other party did not intend to go directly to the Stonewell Castle where she was. coming.
Seeing this, she couldn't help but frown and thought about it in her heart.
"..."
To be honest, Melina still can't figure out the little girl's thoughts, and she has no idea why that bad little girl can get together with two enemies from different camps: Greg's tree guards and the furnace knights. .
What's more, what makes her confused is that the little girl obviously doesn't have a good impression of "Extended Limb" Greg and is very dissatisfied with the changes in the city, but why didn't she come to this castle as soon as possible and challenge that Demi god?
Anyway!
At this moment, Melina had too many confusions and too many doubts in her heart. However, she had no good solution. She could only continue to stand on the high wall and observe from a distance. With.
After all, her guidance failed, and so did White Mask Fan Lei. Therefore, besides patiently observing, she really had no better choice.
but……
She didn't know how long it took, but when she saw the guard Gottok in the small door outside the main entrance of Stonewell Castle sneakily smearing and walking towards the city under the cliff mountain, her unsmiling and dull face finally came to an end. There has been a slight change.
"The gears will eventually turn in the intended direction..."
"I will wait and see..."
After saying this abruptly, Melina slowly lowered her head, and then, for some unknown reason, her figure slowly became transparent, and then she quickly disappeared. I don’t know where it went again.
…
"Is anyone in there?"
|˛˙꒳˙)Hello?
At this time, Annie was holding a 'fluorescent' white magic ball in her hand, and through its illumination, she came to the innermost hall of this big house with a courtyard and walked towards the same dilapidated and... The dark house whispered.
"People are coming in!"
↜(ψ｀▽′)o
After saying that, Annie walked forward quickly and carelessly.
Of course, it is said to be a courtyard, but anyone who is not blind can see that this place has long been covered with big withered trees, dense grass, all kinds of messy debris, some suspicious remains of animals, and The thorns and other things were drowned.
Although this must have been a large courtyard of a wealthy family or a small noble family in the past, there is no one here now. Anyway, Anne didn't see anyone when she walked in, and she didn't get anything either. respond.
"..."
|ू･ω･`)
"!!"
(灬ºωº灬)♩
"here it is……"
(๑°3°๑)
Just after she gently pushed open the two rotten thick wooden doors with the invisible hand of the mage and entered the hall, Anne saw at a glance the line of white magic text in front of her that was still stubbornly shining with dots of light on the wall not far away. .
"?!"
(ﾟ▽ﾟ)
"that is……
(ﾟOﾟ)
Some curious people walked forward and began to work hard to identify the handwriting that had been there for an unknown period of time and was almost unrecognizable due to the dissipation of magic power:
'My beloved father...'
'We're leaving. I'm sorry, but we can't wait any longer. '
'Greek is crazy...'
'He's really crazy, he wants to reattach our limbs...'
'I have decided to take my mother and everyone away from here tomorrow and leave this terrible city. If you come back and see this message, please go to the place where you met your mother to find us...'
'I'll be there for a while. '
'if……'
'What if you can come back?
Obviously, it is not difficult to judge from the magic hair text left behind that the original owner here has indeed left. Moreover, judging from the brightness of these lines of magic hair text and the grass in the courtyard, it seems that the owner here has left. More than a year?
"Another limb..."
(o˘д˘)
"Okay! It's decided. Let's take a rest here tonight, and we'll go take a look at the prosthetic limb tomorrow when we have time."
╭(･ㅂ･)و!
Soon, Anne made a decision and added magic power to the lines of writing on the wall, making them bright again instantly, as compensation for her resting here.
"Um……"
(・o・)
"so be it!"
(*'▽'*)~♪
Immediately afterwards, Anne was too lazy to run around anymore and lit a bonfire in the living room that looked like the backyard of a noble house. Then, she enlarged Tibbers and let him sit aside, and she felt comfortable. He jumped up comfortably and lay down on the other party's big and warm bearskin sofa.
(…)
(‾᷅㉨‾᷅)
"ha!"
♪～(´ε｀)Comfortable!
After sighing with satisfaction, I felt that this place was very suitable for me. I didn't have to worry about safety, and I didn't have to bother Annie, a follower knight, so I took out my own various delicacies and started eating.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh..."
(￣～￣)Chew!
"Tibbers!"
Annie, who was eating 'gem meat' with her left hand and nibbling sweet whole fruits with her right hand, suddenly spoke.
"you say……"
(ー`´ー)
"How can there be that weird guy who likes to connect other people's bodies to his own? How can he become stronger like that?"
(´ε｀；)
"Look, a good city has become like this..."
(๑-﹏-๑)
Originally, Anne thought that Stonewell City was a 'big' city and would be lively, fun and full of delicious food, but she didn't expect...
There is nothing here, just a ruin, and a dilapidated castle that is barely intact, but looks to be in the same state of disrepair?
(…)
(¯•㉨•¯)
(Tibbers said that it doesn’t care about those things, whether it’s ruins or castles, it has nothing to do with it, Uncle Bear. Whatever it does, it doesn’t have any benefit to it anyway!)
"in this situation……"
(•̥́ˍ •̀ू)
"That uncle's family must be out of town. It seems there is no way to send him a message!"
ε=(´ο｀*)))Alas
While sighing, Annie couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Because, this is not because Queen Anne is inactive or lazy, but the situation is indeed very bad. Almost all the people here are dead or have run away. If no one can be found, she cannot be blamed.
(…)
๑乛㉨乛๑
(It also sent a message. Tibbers thinks that whether the other party is alive or not is a big problem. In its view, after so many years, the family the adjutant is looking for has most likely died. Anyway, that’s what it thinks. .)
"Um!"
Յ(¯﹃¯Յ)
"this is delicious!"
(⌒～⌒)
However, Annie soon forgot her little unhappiness and began to focus on the delicious food she brought out.
Anyway, when she goes to take care of that demigod tomorrow, they will no longer have to be afraid of that uncle. By then, they can come back to find whoever they want, and there is no need to be afraid at all!
Although Queen Anne is not very good at helping solve those small problems, she is very good at solving the root causes of those small problems, such as that 'limb' and 'limb' and so on?
…
I don’t know how long it took, but when Annie was still indulging in her delicious dinner alone, suddenly, a certain bear named Tibbs, whom she regarded as a bearskin sofa, turned his head and looked towards the yard at the door. to the direction full of weeds.
(!!)
(=ﾟ㉨ﾟ=)
"Eh?"
(・o・)
"Is it a mouse?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
Annie also heard the sound, but she didn't think much about it, thinking it was just a mouse or some other small animal.
"who is it?"
L(・o・)
"Come out! People have seen you!"
(;｀O´)o
But soon, Anne realized something was wrong and raised her eyebrows and scolded.
"If you don't come out, they will burn you!!"
↜(ψ｀╭╮′)o
As she spoke, Annie grabbed a ball of fire and tried to throw it to a rustling place outside the door.
"Don't, don't burn me..."
"I……"
"I'm actually here to help you!"
Soon, a guy with pale hair and skin, and a very withered face, like a dead man, slowly emerged from the weeds. He kept waving his hands to signal Annie not to attack him.
"Help someone?"
(°ー°〃)
"just you?"
(ʘ̆ωʘ̥̆‖)՞
Annie was a little confused and a little frightened.
She didn't understand why the guy in front of her, who looked almost like a dead person and was very obscene, would dare to say such big words in front of her?
"Yes!"
"it is me……"
"I am indeed here to help you sneak into Stonewell City Castle and let you challenge the demigod 'Extended Limb' Greg!"
"You are a powerful fader, and you are accompanied by a powerful furnace knight. At dusk today, you also attacked a team under Greg and intercepted the group of sacrifices. Am I right?"
Seeing that Annie had no intention of continuing to attack, the man breathed a sigh of relief, then walked forward into the house and continued:
"listen."
"I am Getok, the gatekeeper of the castle. I heard about you..."
"Then……"
"I saw a light on here when it was dark, which was unusual, and I thought you might be here, so I snuck in to take a look."
"I think I should be able to provide you with some help, especially before that guy Greg doesn't take you seriously?"
Without any concealment, Getok told all the reasons why he found this place and his purpose, so as to prevent the terrible flame in the little girl's hand from actually hitting him.
"Any help you can?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"What help?"
(ー`´ー)
After once again sizing up the wretched weirdo in front of her, Annie thought for a moment before reluctantly grabbing the fireball in her hand.
"Is such that……"
"I guess you are planning to go to the city tomorrow, right?"
"But I advise you not to go in through the main entrance, and don't wait until tomorrow. As far as I know, your matter has not been reported to Greg now. He knows nothing about it. This is a Great opportunity!”
Rubbing his hands, Getok said something flattering, and subconsciously looked up at the giant bear who was staring at him, not knowing what he wanted to do.
"Why can't you go in through the front door?"
く(＾_・)ゝ
Scratching her head, Annie asked directly without comment.
"because!"
"If you enter the main entrance, there will be a large group of elite soldiers guarding the passage to Grek's residence, as well as a large number of crossbows and other equipment!"
"Many faded people who did not listen to my advice died..."
"However, those who were willing to follow my advice and sneak into a cave have made good progress. Although none of them succeeded in defeating Greg, at least some of them came out alive."
The gatekeeper Gotok, who was wearing a strange thing around his neck, said proudly, and he did not shy away from telling the fact that he was sparing no effort to help the Faded Ones deal with his master, 'Extended Limb' Grek.
"..."
(๑վ‸վ๑)
Anne didn't answer, she just frowned and thought, and carefully considered the messy things the other party had just said.
"how?"
"How are you thinking about it?"
After waiting for a while, when Anne still didn't answer, the gatekeeper Gotok became a little impatient. He hurriedly took a step forward again and stood next to the fire. Then he bent down and asked anxiously with a shy face.
"No!"
o(´^｀)o
However, in Getok's disappointed eyes, Anne rejected his suggestion without hesitation.
"First of all, I'm not a fader!"
(^_−)☆
"Secondly, the weird knight uncle you just mentioned is not my subordinate, and I am not familiar with him either!"
(✪ω✪)
"third……"
(„ಡωಡ„)
After saying this, Annie paused for a moment.
"Why do you want to sneak into the castle in Stonewell City so late at night?"
(¬◡¬)✧
“People like to walk in through the front door in broad daylight!”
(๑‾ꇴ ‾๑)Hey!
"!!"
"But……"
Gatekeeper Gotok was about to say something, but was interrupted by Anne's outstretched hand and an arrogant gesture.
"The last thing is..."
(✧◡✧)
"Sweetheart, people don't think you are a good person. You are actually uneasy and want to take advantage of others, right?"
↜(ψ｀▽′)o
As she spoke, Anne resolutely stretched out her palm towards the guy with pale skin, sparse hair, and stooped waist who looked like a dead person.
Then……
The next second.
boom! ! !
Without waiting for the other party to say anything else, Annie used an arcane impact to blast him away...
"Done!"
(*^▽^*)
"Tibbers, let's go to bed!"
ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
After eating and drinking, and then blowing away the bad guy with bad intentions, and ensuring that the other party would not dare to fool her again, Annie threw herself into the arms of her little bear Tibbs, and used her greasy and The fruity, sticky hands rubbed hard against the other person's body.
Then, she changed positions with satisfaction and curled up comfortably in her exclusive big bearskin sofa.
As for the guy who was blown away by her just now...
Is that ignorant guy who dared to fool her Queen Anne into fighting at night, now limping out of a dilapidated house and cursing her resentfully in the direction of the castle? She didn't take it too seriously if she left.
