"..."
(⊙_⊙)
There is no doubt that Lienia Avenue is really wide and flat.
But, it’s also desolate at the same time…
Walking on this road, all Anne could see was nothing but weeds, devastation, and the desolation of "withered vines, old trees, and dim crows."
There are no pedestrians, no business travelers, no villages, and no small bridges or houses. There are only a few pale bones occasionally exposed in the grass, wandering dead people, scattered and rusty weapons and armor, and It was just a nameless beast that was looking for food in the wasteland aimlessly.
"..."
(`)
"There really isn't anyone there..."
(°ー°〃),
"Do you want to keep moving forward?"
( ヘ)
After looking around, she found that the area near Lienia Avenue looked deserted. Anne couldn't help but hesitate, wondering whether she should continue moving forward.
You don’t need to guess too much to know this situation. Due to the years of war in the Broken War, the closure of Rhea Lucalia Magic Academy, the deep sleep of the queen of the Kallia royal family, and the destruction of the bridge leading to Nimgofu Due to the loss and other reasons, the Lienia area, including the area near the supposedly prosperous Lienia Avenue, has all turned into the desolate and doomsday-like scene in front of us.
Even now that Full Moon Queen Lenara has awakened, even now that Rhea Lucalia Magic Academy is preparing to lift the seal, even now that the Kallia royal family is planning to rectify the Lienia region, there is still no one to ask for, and no money to ask for. It will definitely not be easy for them to rectify the area and restore order in a short time.
Anyway, Annie didn't see any normal people on the road at all along the way. As for the Calian royal knights and soldiers that Aunt Lenara had said before, they would be sent out to patrol and clean up. He didn't even see a shadow.
"..."
(⊙﹏⊙)
"never mind!"
ε=(ο｀*)))Alas
"There seems to be a town ahead, let's go there and have a look..."
~o(▽｀o)=3 =3 =3
Although the journey was not very pleasant, Annie was not very discouraged. She just sat on the shoulders of Tibbers the bear and continued to sway forward.
Anyway, it's not her who's in a hurry, and there's no need for her to be distracted by 'driving'. Her little bear has that kind of fully automatic navigation function, so she only needs to tell her the destination, and she doesn't have to worry about any trouble at all. of.
(…)
(￢￢.)
(Tibbers ignored it and just continued to wander forward, heading towards the 'town' that his bad little master called it.)
…
Soon, Anne discovered that it was indeed not a town, but a ruins.
However, unlike the ordinary messy ruins, the ruins seemed to have been purified. There were not too many messy monsters or dead people. Instead, there were some faint signs of inhabited activities?
"Huh?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"Those are……"
(°ー°〃)
So, following some traces and a path that looked like someone was walking on it, Annie soon saw two stooped and skinny guys from a distance. They were trembling and sneaking towards them. Walking towards a dilapidated temple outside the ruins.
"It looks mysterious. What do you want to do?"
|˙˙)
Seeing this, Anne naturally became a little bit curious, so she let Tibbers follow her from a distance without any hesitation.
Not long after, she saw that in front of the broken eaves and broken wall in the distance, a young lady with her eyes covered with a cloth was standing there accepting the greetings from several stooped and skinny guys who were gathering there. Worshiping, at the same time both of them were still mumbling something.
"??"
(ˊ)
"Isn't that Miss Haida?"
(▽)
"But why is she here?"
(.)
Anne expressed some doubts about this.
She knew that the other party left Stonewell City a few days before her Lady Queen Anne left home. According to the Fire Eye Knights who reported back, the other party was heading east. However, why is the other party now in Stonewell City? Here to the north of you?
"!!"
!(;o)o
"not good!!"
o(*｀ー)o
Suddenly, when Anne saw in the distance, one of the guys was stooped and skinny. It was obvious at first glance that he was sick, and his arms were as skinny as those of a dead person. She reached out and pulled out an eyeball from his face. She placed it tremblingly in the hands of Miss Haida. Then, Miss Haida was completely unaware and actually planned to put it into her mouth under the enthusiastic gaze of the one-eyed patient and her companions. With a flash of spirit, he teleported past.
"stop!"
(ψ｀╭╮′)o
With a straight face, Anne shouted loudly, and almost stopped Haida who was about to put the disgusting eyeball in her mouth.
"who?"
"and who are you?"
"Where did you come from, kid, get out of here!"
"Go away!"
"Quick! Get rid of her!!"
They all turned their heads in astonishment and found out that the visitor was a little girl. The skinny and rotten patients stood up one after another, grabbed sticks and stones, and prepared to yell and go to the hospital. They drove Anne away to prevent her from disturbing their worship and ceremonies.
"snort!!"
(╭╮)
It's a pity that Anne just waved her hand and instantly froze those people who were noisy like the dead into ice sculptures, making them shut up immediately.
"??"
"Who's over there?"
After hearing the noise suddenly calm down, Haida couldn't help but asked in surprise.
"I seemed to hear a voice..."
"Is it Annie?"
"Yes or no?"
Then, Haida asked carefully.
Although she was blind, she was very sensitive to sounds, and she immediately recognized that the shouting sound just now was made by Anne.
Therefore, Haida recognized that the person was probably the kind-hearted little girl who entertained her in Stonewell a few days ago and gave her the kind of grapes in the food world, so she did not rush to take the 'grape' in her hand. Put it in his mouth, but turned his head towards the place where Annie just made the sound and asked again.
"..."
()
Annie did not answer, but walked forward to the little sister Haida. She frowned and looked at the thing in her hand, and then asked hesitantly:
"Miss Haida, what you have in your hand is..."
(ー`ー)
Although she had guessed some of the whole story, and at the same time, nausea and some kind of unknown fire began to rise in her heart, Anne still did not rush to have an attack, but wanted to confirm it first.
"ah!"
"It's really Annie!"
After turning her head and clearly hearing the clear and pleasant childish voice belonging to Anne, Haida was sure that the person coming was indeed the little girl she met in Stonewell City.
"This is the 'Chaporelli Grape'!"
"Would you like to try it?"
"Give!"
"Although it is very important to me, if it were you, I could give it to you."
As she said that, Haida smiled rarely.
And at the same time, she took out the yellow and rotten patient's eyeball in her hand, and saw that the outer layer was about to fall off, and the inner layer was thick and soft, similar to a large ripe grape. It had nothing to do with beauty or deliciousness, or even just a simple eyeball. The thing that made people sick just by looking at it was carefully handed to Annie following the sound.
"!!"
⊙﹏⊙‖∣°
Of course, Anne couldn't accept the other party's kindness, and even took a big step back calmly.
"you……"
(°ー°〃)
"I used to eat grapes, this is it?"
(ˇˇ)
Annie frowned and asked, and at the same time, the expressions she looked at the patients who were temporarily frozen by her began to become cold and dangerous.
"yes!"
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this?"
Haida was a little strange. She obviously didn't know what the problem was, and she didn't know why Annie asked this.
"..."
()
Anne was silent, and at the same time, her green eyes gradually became colder and more dangerous.
Because, she suddenly felt that she really couldn't keep that finger!
Therefore, she planned to teleport directly to the Kaliya Stronghold later and deliver the hunting finger knife that the doll sister Lani needed. No matter what, she had better get the 'finger' as soon as possible. Let’s talk about death?
"What's wrong?"
"Annie?"
"Don't you want to try it?"
For a long time, Haida, who didn't hear Anne's reaction, asked again in confusion.
Of course, what made her even more confused was that the people who gave her grapes who were still noisy just now, for some reason, were all silent now, and they didn't know what was going on.
"ah!"
(**;)
"Okay, okay!"
(lll￢▽￢)
After thinking about it and struggling for a while, Anne finally refused, but she didn't actually come forward and touch her. Instead, she stretched out a mage's hand, and then separated the 'grape' from the opponent's palm. Sora picked it up, then shook his hand, and it was instantly thrown away and burned to ashes.
"Na!"
(′～`●)
"Sister Haida..."
(￢д￢.)
"It's not an option for you to wander around like this. Otherwise, you'd better go to someone else's castle!"
(╭╮)
"How about you find someone to help you heal your eyes?"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
With that said, Annie opened a portal leading to Stonewell City without waiting for the other party's consent.
She planned to send the other party back first, and then go to Miss Lani, send over the knife that was used to kill the finger, and then kill the finger directly. Then Miss Haida would no longer have to worry about being bewitched.
Similarly, Anne didn't plan to tell the other person about the grape before, so she just let the other person think that what she was eating was really a normal grape.
"Eh?"
"But……"
"Annie, I have something else to do..."
"I'm going to a village in the north, where there should be the Chapoligli grapes I need..."
Haida was about to say something, but Annie pushed her into the portal without any doubt and disappeared instantly.
"Next..."
(**)
After sending away Miss Haida, Anne turned her head and looked at the guys frozen by her, and unlocked their frozen state, causing them to fall to the ground one by one in an instant, and stood up Can't even stand up.
"Say it!"
()
"What is going on? Tell me quickly, otherwise, they will burn you!"
(ψ｀╭╮′)o
Annie didn't waste any time, she grabbed a ball of fragmenting fire in her hand, and started to press her with force.
"??"
"burn?"
"..."
"Hahaha……"
Surprisingly, when they heard that Annie was going to burn them, those people, those ugly-looking patients, looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Burn it!"
"Burn us all, preferably the whole world!"
"Come!"
"Burn us!"
Those people all crawled towards Annie, as if they were really not afraid of the shattering fire in her hands.
"..."
(ー`ー)
Annie frowned, but she didn't actually burn them, but she didn't retreat either. She just faced those people.
"pain……"
"despair……"
"And the curse!"
"This world gives us only sin and pain!"
"We've had enough!"
At this time, the first man crawling on the ground began to roar hysterically.
They had just seen and felt it, and knew that the little girl in front of them was indeed a powerful mage, but they were not afraid at all!
In fact, they are not even afraid of death now, so how could they be afraid of mere death threats?
"all of these!"
"It's entirely because of 'error', because of the error of 'Supreme Will'!"
"Burn it!"
"Burn us, and then burn the world, melt everything in the world with flames, and return everything to its original state!"
"We didn't come to this world voluntarily. What's wrong with us? Why are we made to suffer this kind of pain?"
"bring it on!"
"Burn us, burn everything!"
"In front of the flame, there will be no distinction between all people, no more birth, no more pain and curse, no more oppression and nobility..."
"Come on, you are burning!!"
Just like that, those people roared hysterically and crawled toward Anne desperately, trying to grab her feet and let her burn them.
"..."
(*⌒*)
Anne said nothing and took a step back in silence, avoiding those hysterical guys.
"All right!"
(*⌒*;)
"It seems that we still have to deal with that bad guy first!"
()
Nodding and shaking her head, Annie finally did not get entangled with those people and directly grabbed the fireball in her hand.
She probably understood that whether it was the Round Table Hall, Neferi, Haida who had just been sent away, or the crazy patients in front of her, in the final analysis, these things all pointed to that person. The bad guy called 'Finger', so if she goes to deliver the knife now, there will be nothing wrong.
"Let's go!"
(~)
"Tibbers, let's go find that doll lady!"
()
After seeing her little bear approaching, Annie ignored the guys lying on the ground who were still trying to crawl towards her. Instead, she suddenly appeared on the shoulder of Tibbers the little bear in the distance.
Now, she is going to deliver the knife...
As for whether that little knife can kill that 'finger', Anne doesn't know, but she will keep an eye on it. If Miss Lani can't kill the 'finger', she shouldn't mind helping. .
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"come!"
"Come and burn us!!"
"Woooo..."
"Hahaha!"
"burn!"
"Burn! Let the flames burn!!"
"Well……"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Soon, as Tibbers turned around and left, one person and one bear gradually disappeared into the few who were still laughing and cursing in some restlessness, as if they were sick and roaring madly like the dead. in the eyes of the observers.
