Stepping into the fog, everything in front of you becomes white.
"fog?"
"I can't see anything clearly, be careful!"
"Lead with a staff and a spear."
"..."
The thick fog made it impossible to even see the hands placed in front of me. The magic power was blocked the moment I stepped in, and I could only confirm the situation through communication.
Luo Wei led the team from the front, using Vermeer's staff and Shaye's spear to connect the team. Vermeer could not see the figure in front, but he led the three people to turn left and right without hesitation, without any pause, as if to The route here is clear.
"Rowe..."
Vermeer read his name carefully.
The phenomenon of blocking magic power in the mist gave her a very long-lasting feeling. It seemed that she would be transported to a new location every time she reached a stage. Here, if she did not advance in a fixed order, she might be pushed out of the maze immediately.
I don't know how long I walked like this.
The fog that shrouded their vision suddenly disappeared, and the four people appeared in a sparse forest, and the magic blockade was also lifted.
"Here we are?"
Ayi Ning looked back in confusion, not knowing how she got out.
This guy……
Could it be that he has been secretly communicating with the witch here for a long time?
Walking out of this sparse forest, there is a simple forest cabin in the clearing, surrounded by exquisite gardens and lit with orange lights.
Vermeer raised her gaze and took a look. There seemed to be facilities behind the hut that were sealed by a barrier, and they encountered no other obstacles except the fog along the way, which meant that Luo Wei took them along an unknown path. shortcut.
This further confirmed her inner suspicion.
The witch he is about to meet is also his competitor in a sense, whether she still remembers Luo Wei or not.
Shaye: "..."
The four of them arrived in front of the cabin. The simple wooden door gave people a sense of closure for some reason, as if they would have to bear the consequences after opening it.
Rowe put his hand on the door handle.
Shaye subconsciously prepared to say something, but choked back.
Didn’t this guy say that humans should be polite and knock first when entering the door? ?
Squeak——
Ignoring Shaye's glare, the wooden door was opened by Luo Wei. The scene inside was completely different from the outside. Not only was it elegantly decorated, the wooden floor looked quite old, and there was even a staircase leading to the second floor.
From the outside, this house is not that big at all.
"The change in space means that to some extent we are not in that cabin?" Ayi Ning frowned.
"No, we are still here." Vermeer sensed the magic around her. "It should be some kind of space-expanding magic that expands the space inside."
The witch here is very strong.
Vermeer felt that the other person, who was also a student of magic, seemed to have strength beyond her imagination, and his use of magic was also more varied.
But the girl is not inferior.
Luo Wei said that he expected more from her, so just catch up later.
"you……"
Luo Wei looked back at her and felt that Vermeer's magic power was creating a sense of confrontation.
He reached out a hand and touched the girl's head.
"You are a priest of the Church of Three Elements. Don't scare the other person when we meet."
"oh oh……"
It turns out he doesn’t dislike my strength, hehe...
No, no, you still have to work harder!
Going up to the second floor without any worries, Luo Wei came to the door of the side bedroom with ease and put his hand on the door again.
This time he paused for a moment before unscrewing it.
The door opened, revealing a carefully decorated bedroom.
Exquisite candlesticks, classic wine cabinets, cabinets for storing aromatherapy and essential oils, old-fashioned dressing tables, gorgeous velvet sofas, fires, lounge chairs and red carpets.
But even with so many furnishings, it doesn't give people the slightest sense of warmth, but instead feels a bit deserted.
In such an environment, a woman with long purple hair was lying on a bed without a quilt. In the cold winter, there was only a piece of red brocade, with candles and scattered flower petals next to her. She seemed to have expected it. As usual, he just looked at them in his spare time.
Vermeer: "..."
Appeared.
Such a beautiful person, but...
Facing visitors, she neither pretended to be profound nor conveyed her attitude. She eliminated any foreshadowing and preparation and just appeared in the bedroom so suddenly. Instead, she gave people a sense of mystery that they could not guess the answer to.
Those unruffled gem eyes were completely unable to read any answers to his thoughts, with a sense of ease and ease.
female:"……"
Luo Wei: "..."
The two stood and stared at each other, neither of them spoke first.
Ayi Ning fell into a brief thought in silence.
Is this the witch?
It's surprising to see him appear like this, but if it's because Luo Wei took a shortcut, it can be explained. Judging from the other party's behavior, being looked at by four people and still lying there as if nothing had happened is indeed very similar to the records in those books.
Playing with people's hearts, the witch with a thousand faces.
Mysterious and unpredictable, he always maintains an aura of composure that cannot be seen through.
Shaye even thought that face was fake.
After living in a place like this for a thousand years, that face would probably have become stinker than a stone, but the look he showed at this moment made him look as if he was younger than himself.
"You are the Silent Night Witch, right?" Vermeer said proactively.
He knew very well that Luo Wei came here with the intention of taking this witch away.
In other words, like Shaye, she will stay in the team for a while and join in the exploration of the ruins of the God War.
As both experts in magic, Vermeer had no intention of being easily replaced by the other party.
"You can call me Elus." The purple-haired woman looked at Vermeer with a slight smile, but her voice was as cold as a long night, "As a gift for your visit, can I ask for something."
Eluse.
Vermeer remembered the name.
Seeing that Luo Wei didn't respond, she said, "What do you want?"
Eluse tilted her head slightly, her long, smooth purple hair falling on the back of her fair hands, and then pointed at Vermeer's calf.
Several people looked down and saw that Vermeer was wearing white ice silk stockings with a holy seal today, and her soft calf curves were as healing as ever.
"You want me to use my legs as the price of meeting?" Wei Mier's expression became solemn, trying to figure out the other party's intentions.
Eluse shook her head lightly and showed a charming smile.
"I want those socks you're wearing."
Shaye and Ayi Ning: "?"
Wei Mier's expression changed, and she was about to go into the small bag to take out the spare one, but was stopped by the other party.
"No, I want the pair you're wearing, just that pair."
The ambiguous tone and confused tone made Vermeer standing there a little confused for a moment, but she quickly came back to her senses.
Can't give in here.
With an unpredictable attitude, the other party is the type who can casually make unexpected requests. He should be the one who looks the weakest to make the right move.
That.
Vermeer glanced at Rowe and saw that he still didn't express anything, which meant she had permission. With a calm expression, she took off her socks from her thighs, walked forward, and placed them in front of Eluse.
This kind of thing has been done to Shaye before. When meeting for the first time, there is no need to be frightened by the other party's request.
After doing this, Vermeer did not come back, she slightly clenched her fists and said, "In exchange, the host should also give the guests a greeting gift, right?"
Although her soft and delicate voice didn't sound very impressive.
Before Ilusi could speak, she pointed at the other person's calf.
"I want yours too."
Shaye and Ayi Ning: "??"
This is……
A church priest from the light camp and an ageless witch from the dark camp. The first thing they do when they meet is to exchange socks?
Eluse smiled softly, maintaining the ambiguous and indifferent expression on her face. She turned over with a lazy movement and raised her ankle to a position where she could be clearly seen, bit by bit, one by one. With a little click, he took off the black stockings with lace. It felt like they were sliding down, with a soft yet smooth and delicate texture.
"Here, I hope it satisfies you."
Smiling softly again, Elise placed her socks next to Vermeer's socks.
One black and one white, one side symbolizes mysterious desire, and the other side symbolizes unsullied purity.
She stared at Vermeer, hoping to find the corresponding answer on her face.
At this moment, Vermeer's focus was not on her socks at all. She paused and realized for the first time that the action of taking off her socks could be so attractive...
learned……
But I feel like I can't do it...
If he were to use that kind of action, I'm afraid it would look very clumsy... He would definitely laugh.
Shaking her head, Vermeer picked up the pair of stockings.
black……
It is a color that I have never tried before. Although the church does not restrict these, Vermeer has always preferred white. After all, it is more suitable for the church's priest attire.
Do you want to...want to show it to him?
I haven't had the chance to wear the backless dress last time... and I haven't had the chance to wear it a second time... and the pair of glass slippers.
The girl's thoughts gradually ran away, which attracted Eluse's attention. Suddenly, she couldn't figure out what the girl was thinking.
What was she thinking?
Why do you feel like you've completely ignored her?
Eluse raised her gaze and looked at the black-haired boy in front of her, "You seem to be going the wrong way."
Luo Wei did not avoid his gaze and spoke to her for the first time:
"Left, left, left, front, back, right, back, left, front, right, front, right."
Eluse's eyes twitched, but there were no more ripples. Instead, she held her chin with one hand, showing a playful expression.
"Oh? How did you know?"
That was the order of progression in her mist maze.
Luo Wei looked at her calmly and didn't answer.
How else do you know? You told me yourself in the last round.
Her maze didn't have any prompts, and she couldn't see the way clearly. If she made a wrong step, she would be bounced directly to a random place in the forest. It couldn't be like the underworld.
"Then you are still going the wrong way."
Seeing that he didn't answer, Eluse squeezed her shoulder with one hand. Her lazy and cold temperament was charming and unpretentious, as if she was born with such amorous feelings.
"Whether you are here to close the alien vortex or investigate the erosion, you should not come to me."
"Really?" Luo Wei looked at her with a cold expression, "But we didn't come here for that."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground suddenly began to shake.
Rumble, rumble, rumble——
The whole house began to shake, and the sea of trees outside the window was also shaking.
The shaking lasted for dozens of seconds before it subsided. Everyone slowly stood still, surprised by what had just happened.
earthquake?
Luo Wei still stood there, the demon sword he pulled out was deeply inserted into the floor. Eluse stared at the sword blade, and the divine core in her body subconsciously felt the threat.
"So, you came here because of this situation?"
"No." Luo Wei still shook his head.
Just now, something happened in Crownless City. The time was much later than the previous round. It should be the result of Ryan's efforts.
As a result, the problems in the city cannot be solved, and the situation in Silent Night Forest is frequent. Ryan estimates that he will arrive here within a week and start trying to close the gates to other worlds.
For Luo Wei, this timing was not perfect, and he had to find a way to hold Eluse back for at least half a month.
Be angry, Ahu Lili...
"Then why are you here?" Even though there was an earthquake, Ilusi still lay on the bed unmoved, and all the objects in the room were attached to her magic power without causing any damage.
"We are here for you." Luo Wei said without blushing or heartbeat.
Shaye glanced at him contemptuously from behind.
What about us? It’s obviously you who came here for this witch! !
For some reason, she always felt unhappy with the witch in front of her. She looked like such a harmful person, and the desire for tea in her body was almost uncontrollable.
But the thought that the tea art was taught by that guy personally made her feel angry, so she had no choice but to give up.
"Oh?" Eluse smiled softly, "I've seen a lot of people with lust in their eyes, but I don't see many people who are as direct as you."
She glanced at the three people behind Saulavi.
"Aren't these cuties enough for you?"
Little...cute! ?
Feeling Sha Ye shaking with anger beside her, Ayi Ning quickly used her hands to comfort her, but she could only sigh helplessly.
"You may have misunderstood something," Luo Wei stared at the witch in front of him and said carefully every word, "We are not here to get you, but to hire you."
Hire?
This word surprised Eluse a little.
"Then you can go back," she said.
Regardless of the reason, hiring a witch is not a good thing, and the disputes in the outside world will never end.
"Oh? Really? I thought you would be an excellent vocal and dance teacher."
Eluse concentrated her expression, with an uncertain expression on her face, and looked at him deeply.
Seeing her frowning, Luo Wei smiled and said: "To put it simply, we plan to carry out an unprecedented cultural project, and we need a very professional master to guide vocal, dance, deportment and other projects, and I think You perfectly meet all the above requirements, so I came to Silent Night Forest to hire you."
Eluse: "..."
Then Luo Wei had no burden, and described the story of an orc girl who was discriminated against and longed for recognition to become an idol. The corners of Vermeer's eyes were filled with soreness.
That’s how it turns out…
Ahu Lili, it turned out that she had such a dream to become an idol...
I didn't even know there was such an inside story...
Ayi Ning looked at her and trembled at the corner of her mouth. With Wei Mier acting like this, she couldn't really believe it.
At the same time, Ayi Ning was a little confused. Luo Wei deliberately told this absurd plan in a serious manner, and even added fuel to the fire. There was no way the witch would believe it. Why did he do this deliberately?
She looked towards Elus, who was always listening silently, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking, and it seemed impossible to confirm whether she understood what Luo Wei said.
Sure enough, there is still no chance.
How could anyone take such a thing seriously.
The witch has lived for so many years, and this is definitely not the first time she has faced someone making absurd demands, but most of them are probably just a cover-up to cover up her true purpose.
And their group went deep into the Silent Night Forest and through the misty maze to find her, the witch that the world avoided, just to hire her as a vocal teacher?
No one in their right mind would think so.
Ayi Ning lowered her head and shook her head, but at this moment she saw the witch opening her jewel-like eyes.
"Okay, I can promise you." Eluse said with a faint smile, her eyes dim.
"But what I need to emphasize is," she looked at them, "I am only responsible for the idol training. If you run into any trouble, I will not be involved in anything related to the battle."
"No problem." Luo Wei nodded in response, and at the same time, he knew why Elus agreed.
——
Because she's toying with them.
