"Really? You really think far ahead."
Winnie pushed a strand of hair over her pointed ears and said calmly.
Nesse stared at her. As usual, he couldn't figure out what she meant.
Could it be that...did she also sign that unspeakable contract?
No way to ask.
But his doubts were obvious enough. He sincerely hoped that Winnie could give him a hint. She is so cunning and witty, how could she not understand?
Winnie just looked at him with her trademark half-smiling expression. She didn't give him any actions that could be interpreted, and she wasn't going to reveal it...
Because "knowing" is dangerous. He suddenly knew exactly what the devil teacher meant.
Snooping limits possibilities, so even hints of snooping are not allowed.
If Winnie really signed the contract, she couldn't give a hint, or even say to him: "Don't ask me." Because this question would also reveal that she had indeed signed the contract with a high probability.
No.
He couldn't even speculate further. This would also put her in danger.
You can't know things from her.
He stared at Winnie's shining eyes, which were green and glowing with the red light of the blood-changing swamp in the middle of the night. They were really terrible eyes, an unflattering half-elf at all.
If she really signed the unspeakable contract he suspected, she would die if she told him the truth.
"So you still want to remind me?" he asked slowly.
"Because I can."
Winnie smiled faintly - at this moment she looked like she didn't know anything about the contract. Can't tell. Maybe she didn't sign it. It is absolutely right and safe to keep this possibility open to others.
Her hands were dry and warm, her fingertips pressed against his palm.
You can't know things from her.
"Is the nun from the orphanage here too?" he asked after thinking for a while. Although according to Ungoro's account, Aunt Doranza was not willing to burn herself to death, it seemed that she could not escape the fate of being executed.
Winnie pointed to a thin, hunched black figure in the distance. The figure seemed to have a sack on its head and was hanged.
Ranwen
"The contract about the Featherless Ones. The contract of Anmeses V. Did you sign it too?" he asked it.
puff.
Almost as soon as Mammy's body bent down, it exploded into a large puddle that looked like soup spilled on the ground.
"It's unbelievable." Nesai was stunned.
He could already see that Mammy wanted to answer "yes".
It turned out that these recent deceased people had signed a contract with Anmeses V that the featherless people could not speak out.
So all these tragedies in Semolan were caused by Anmeses, and Un'Goro didn't do anything?
wrong.
He thought too hastily and the logic in the middle was incomplete.
The contract is true, and the miners cannot escape because of this. But the tragedy in the orphanage may not be directly related to this incident.
"Unfortunately, these corpses can only bear to ask one question."
Wei Ni said leisurely as if she knew what he was thinking.
Is this a hint?
"We can ask living people." He thought for a moment and said, "Other miners, survivors of the orphanage. And Angolo from the Red Face Society."
"That might kill them." A smile appeared on Winnie's face, and then she became serious.
She let go of his hand and looked towards Boni Street.
There was a little light on the other side of the street.
"Dix is back," Neese said. "We should go. See you tomorrow. Let's go find the remaining miners tomorrow."
Bang.
The wall of life and death was screwed back into place. The corpses were broken as if their whole bones were broken, and they were lying slumped everywhere. The damp and cold night filled her remaining space, and Winnie had disappeared.
Nese silently watched the light getting closer and closer, stretched out her hand and began to draw a simple teleportation spell.
…
That night, he had a dream.
A serious Seraph with burning green eyes and an amiable, gentle and sincere Angel of Quan are on one side. Thin threads come out of their hands, like two white doves trying to pull a boulder. They are pulling desperately. There is a shining sphere that is constantly expanding.
For some reason, this image made him feel strangely calm.
"I'm here, teacher," he whispered, "I can't wait to see you..."
boom.
There was a flash before his eyes.
Everything disappeared like nothing.
The sky that turned into a blood swamp and cried blood suddenly appeared in front of him.
The heaven and earth shook wildly and then started to spin.
Nese felt nauseated like seasickness and broke out in cold sweat. Subconsciously he clenched his fists, and the earthquake shook violently. He was thrown into the air and woke up suddenly.
It took him a while to realize that he was still lying in the room with his mangled body.
and.
Someone was sitting on the edge of his bed watching him.
"Is it tomorrow? Winnie."
He held his forehead with one hand and looked out the window.
A dark red tinge of darkness. There is a thin red line on the horizon.
There is still some distance before dawn.
A smooth hand pressed on his shoulder, before she even put on her gloves.
"I forgot to tell you Deeks' little secret."
Her voice was a little weird, "Dix, he——"
Nese stretched out his hand and pulled her over. She was as light as weightless, and flew into his arms like a cloud mixed with the scent of grass and blood.
He put his other hand on her waist. Not only was Winnie not wearing gloves.
"I'm not done yet, Deeks—"
"Dix is Mr. Old," he added for her.
"how do you know?"
Winnie chuckled like she was being tickled.
"I only realized it tonight."
He turned over and grabbed her hand, sighing softly into her fluffy hair.
…
When I woke up in the morning, Winnie was still nowhere to be seen.
But everything can't be a dream.
Nesai walked downstairs slowly, feeling light and airy all over.
In the bar downstairs, Bonodoze was lying on a dirty table, scooping out the dusty cereal with a spoon. His beard was covered in food stains. But it doesn't look as annoying as before.
"You have to pay me back thirty gold coins today."
Bono Doze saw him and waved his spoon repeatedly, "If we don't open the business again, there will be no salt in my cereal. I can only eat beggar's fingers instead of meatballs! They're hard! They're full of tendons!"
"Okay." Nese smiled.
"honestly……"
Bonodoze swallowed another big mouthful of cereal, and his words became unclear, "You are really capable."
He smiled and nodded kindly at the informal professor. Get out the door.
It's time to find where the miners are gathering.
It didn't take much effort, because an apprentice already recognized him as the winner of the fighting competition. He gets more nods, honorifics, and directions that aren't meant to mislead.
When passing by a notice board that was green and moldy due to moisture, he almost failed to notice the new notice Angolo posted for him - it was too small, about the same size as a small piece of cheese, and was posted in the corner.
Nesai looked at the notice and thought for a few seconds.
When the miners get off work in the evening, they will go to the "Slice" bathhouse in the northeastern part of Semoland to relax and unwind. That is a good time to inquire about information, but it is too early now.
He decided to go to Un'Goro first.
By the time he arrived at the door of the red-faced club's second-in-command, the professor of the Lin department, and Ufa's subordinate, Winnie did not show up as promised.
But she didn't seem to agree.
