I smelled the sea water, salty and wet.
I heard shouting, crashing, one after another.
Then, I felt the cool breeze, like hands, wiping away the vague "film" on my cheeks, making my consciousness gradually clear.
I felt like I had a headache, and my brain was shaking like it was being stirred by an iron rod.
I opened my eyes with difficulty and saw a very yellow light, which came from the oil lamp on the bedside table.
...Why is it already night?
oh……
Rubbing my temples, I tried my best to get up from the hard bed...
What happened?
Unexpectedly, the faint scent of pine nuts came over. When I lowered my head, I suddenly realized that my clothes seemed to have been changed.
See, I wasn't wearing my dress, but a white shirt, the silk material making it look sparkly.
It's so wide and bulky that I guess it drags down to my knees when I stand up.
On my right arm, I also found a thread-shaking crack.
...Hiss, this belongs to Darien, right? ! He, he, he...
"You were drunk and vomited all over yourself, so I changed it for you." Unexpectedly, a strange female voice came from the dark shadow of the room.
I looked over there suddenly and saw a tall, thin black figure walking over there.
The room was very small, and she reached my bedside in a few steps. Through the dim light, I saw her drooped eyelids and the milky-white eyes under her eyelids.
Those eyes made me let my guard down.
Dani?
"Drink this, it will relieve your hangover and headache!" She put a dark wooden cup into my hand. Seeing me staring at her for a moment, she curled her lips and said, "Your little lover is responsible for this." Give me enough reward..."
I subconsciously wanted to deny it, but my throat was dry and itchy, so I could only take a sip of the clear liquid in the cup.
oh!
Isn't this maple juice?
However, it is much lighter than during the day...
etc……
"...Ahem, I'm drunk? What's going on?"
Dai Ni raised her right hand and motioned for me to drink more, "Jig gave you the maple moonshine wine I brewed by mistake... That jar of wine has been aged for at least 150 years..."
When she said that, I felt dizzy.
"Drink it and you will feel much better." She pulled a chair over and sat next to me. "Fortunately, you don't make as much noise as Jig did when you were drunk. Otherwise, your little lover would have to pay Give me more!”
"First, ahem, he's not... I mean, at least now..."
"Okay, okay, as you humans would say, your fiancé."
"He's not! I mean, not now!"
"Um?"
"...Second, thank you, Diane."
"...Dini?" The corners of the night elf's mouth that had just been curled up lowered, "My name is not Dini? I am Elena."
"Huh? He obviously called you Dini! Is there a third person here?"
"He didn't call me. Dai Ni is Jieg's wife, and her soul returned to Elune many, many years ago..."
"...So, why are you here?"
That question made Elena lower her glowing eyes, seeming to sink into some distant memory.
For a moment, the only sound left in the room was the deep sound of the sea licking the shore.
There was silence for a long time, and just when I thought she would no longer pay attention to me, she spoke in a low voice, "... He saved my life from the sea... a long, long time ago... Oh, it was really a long, long time ago. It used to be...now, he has forgotten his name, where he came from, how to cook...that rainy day, he also forgot me..."
I must tell you, her appearance is simply intriguing, as if she suddenly remembered something extremely beautiful and nostalgic about the past!
I love memories like this, so I straightened my back and looked at her with interest, "But he still remembers Diane!"
"...Yes, he only remembers Dai Ni... remembers the soup that Dai Ni loves to drink... remembers every complicated step of this dish..."
"Elena?" I couldn't help but move closer, with a big curve at the corner of my mouth, "Are you..."
She seemed startled and leaned back suddenly, her back hitting the back of the chair. "Of course not! How is that possible! Don't talk nonsense!"
oh! I have to tease her! So, I raised my eyebrows indifferently, "I thought you were obsessed with Mr. Giger, a bald, pot-bellied dwarf with a lion's mane on his face, ha!"
She opened her mouth wide and said angrily after a long time, "...Jig was a hundred times more handsome than your little lover when he was young. Moreover, he is extremely powerful and can cook well!"
"...So, you are really obsessed with him?!"
She bared her teeth, "You..."
"Don't you dare tell him?!"
Her fingers holding the armrest of the chair clicked, "I..."
"So, you guard him alone, even if he forgets you?!"
Her eyes were a little red.
Oh, I seem to have gone too far.
"Uh..." Just when I was about to say sorry to the poor night elf, a gust of cold wind suddenly poured in from the open wooden window.
*
This kind of icy wind shouldn’t happen in spring, it makes the hairs on my arms stand up!
"...Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo of of of the waves, this sound was mixed in with the sound of the waves, it was vague, but it was very clear.
Obviously, Elena heard it too.
At this moment, we looked at each other, and the next second, we ran to the window together.
As I said, this small hotel is some distance from Golden Maple Leaf Harbor. It is built on a slope. Below the slope is the surging and sparkling sea, and my window is facing the direction of the sea.
The moonlight is very bright, not only the "lady in white", but also the "blue boy" who is about to be full moon, also exudes a cold light in the night sky.
Through these lights, I clearly saw a shadow with a faint green light, trying to crawl out of the tongue of the sea.
Wow--
It relied on the power of the sea water to kick its legs hard and stagger ashore.
Only then did I realize that its body was covered with seaweed and that it was wet and dripping with water.
"...wuwuwuwu..." The crying sound became clearer and more shocking.
That voice seems to have spiritual magic, making people always mistakenly think that their skin is freezing. No, it's not just the skin, but also the muscles, blood, and heart!
I saw the thing crawling all the way to the small hotel like a turtle. Downstairs, it raised its head and showed us its cheek hidden behind the seaweed!
Holy light is on!
What a face that is!
It is covered with shells and stones, which makes people feel creepy just looking at it!
"...Save us..." Its cheek was cracked, and it let out a sad and terrifying cry.
It can also talk!
In an instant, my curly hair was about to explode, but my body couldn’t move!
"...Ghost...right?" I squeezed out the word through my teeth.
Elena's hands pressed against the window sill were also trembling, "...will it...will it...come up..."
Of course it will come up, it is already only a dozen steps away from the hotel door!
At that moment, the wooden door of the hotel was opened with a creak, and a black broad-bladed sword flew out of the door. It whirred and circled, smashing the monster out!
Immediately afterwards, I heard a low mantra, "Supreme Holy Light, please judge the enemies in front of me!"
The majestic and hot pillar of holy light fell from the sky and hit the monster's head accurately.
boom--
That thing was pressed directly into the layers of fallen leaves by the huge magical energy!
Almost at the same moment, the panic that had been gripping me completely disappeared.
The hot air flowed into my lungs, and it was only then that I realized that I had not breathed for a long time!
Subconsciously, I held my heaving chest.
In Fahua's field of vision, a tall shadow jumped out from the door of the hotel. His hair was short and his body was as strong as a bear.
"Dallion!" I yelled towards him, "Ahem! What is that?!"
The boy looked up at me, the fierceness on his face still not gone, "I will find out! Just stay there!"
Who will stay here!
Taking a deep breath, I turned over and sat on the window sill, ready to jump to the open door below, but at that moment, the ground in front of me suddenly made a crisp sound of the blades breaking. The next second, a glowing shadow jumped out of the smoke!
Like the most agile monkey, it pounced on Dallion's chest and threw him to the ground before he could make a move!
"Ouch!"
"Dallion!"
"...Help...us..." The monster howled in pain, but the water plants on its body seemed to be alive, wrapping around Darien's neck!
oh!
This is not a cry for help!
I heard Darien reciting something quickly, and then, a translucent shield of holy light completely enveloped him. The water plants on the monster's body were like knives hitting glass, making a series of harsh sounds!
It can be seen that the boy twisted his waist hard and tried to get up, but the little monster was like a mountain, suppressing him and unable to move, "Oh!"
Closing my eyes forcefully, I entered the world where the wind of shadows blew.
After thinking about it, I leaned forward and grabbed the wooden chair not far away, moved my toes slightly, and the next second, I appeared behind the monster!
Using my right foot as the center of the circle, I picked up the chair and threw it towards the monster's waist with all my strength, "Drink---!"
boom--
The heavy impact made my wrist numb, and it directly knocked the monster into two pieces!
The monster's lower body flew out together with the chair and crashed into the distant maple forest, but its upper body was still tightly holding the thin light shield on Dallion's body!
"...Save...us!" The monster roared harshly!
The boy had done his best.
Yes, this holy light mask can indeed protect him from harm, but it seems that he also needs to use his own strength to resist the power exerted on the mask.
"Drink---!" He tensed his elbows, and his blue eyes nearly bulged out of his sockets. "I...I can't hold it anymore! Messiah!"
Extremely anxious!
Without hesitation, I reached out and grabbed the monster, trying to get it off Dallion. However, as soon as my palm touched the water plants, a huge stinging pain came from my palm, "Oh!"
Zi--
There was bitter smoke coming out of my palm!
What's this? !
With corrosive venom? !
This monster is actually covered in poison? !
Then, once the holy light mask on Dallion disappears...
Oh my God!
I can’t even think about it!
"Throw something down!" I turned around and yelled at Elena at the second floor window, "Don't just look at it!"
The frightened night elf finally came to his senses and said, "Okay...okay!"
"Drink--!" At that moment, a roar came from the wooden door of the hotel, and a short figure rushed out from inside!
Jig? !
I saw him waving the heavy boning knife in his hand and rushing towards the shining green monster like a cannonball!
Dazzled!
With Jig's flying hands, I saw countless water plants splashing from the monster's body. Finally, he slapped the monster's remaining head hard with the blade of the knife and directly slapped the monster's remaining head into the air!
"...Save us!" In mid-air, the head was still roaring sharply, and then, I saw it beat!
Yes, that head beat like a heart, and then exploded!
Dark droplets splashed down on us like heavy rain!
And are those droplets all venom? !
"Oh!" My eyes almost popped out of my head. I couldn't care less about the severe pain in my palm. I grabbed the back of Jig in front of me, and with the other hand, I grasped Dallion's arm beside me. The boy reacted faster. He turned around, grabbed my waist and rushed to the side!
boom--
In the blink of an eye, we fell three meters away!
The ground was covered with fallen leaves, and Dallion’s arm was on my back, so I wasn’t thrown so hard that stars appeared in my eyes.
On the contrary, Jig struggled a few times at my feet and let out a painful shenyin.
Wow--
Between the cracks in my hair, I saw the monster's venom falling on the place where we were standing just now, making a sizzling sound and white smoke rising everywhere.
The air was filled with bitterness.
"Messiah! Messiah!" The boy anxiously helped me up from the wet leaves. "Are you injured? Let me see!" He shook my shoulder hard, and then, Squeezing my arms and hands.
"Oh! Oh!" The sharp sting made me almost jump up from the ground, "Don't touch my hand!"
"Don't move! Messiah! Don't move!" Dallion restrained my wrist forcefully. Under the bright moonlight, I saw a large dark mark that seemed to have been burned in my hand. The edge of the mark was A circle of sparkling bubbles.
It's okay not to look at it, but when I look at it, I just feel the pain is unbearable!
"Holy light!" Dallion took a breath and immediately recited a short mantra. Immediately, the hot holy light enveloped my hands.
Oh...it hurts even more!
The burning pain seemed to turn into thin needles, swimming along my blood vessels into my heart, my nose, and my eyes, pricking my pupils until they were sore and hot!
"Jig! Jig! What's wrong with you?!" The frightened Elena finally rushed out from the wooden door of the hotel. She knelt beside the dwarf shopkeeper, at a loss. "Ai... Elune! What should I do? !What to do?! His hands..."
"Uh... uh, it hurts..."
Dallion picked me up from the ground and said, "Let's talk in the house first!"
"I can walk, and my feet are not injured..."
"You don't even have your boots on!"
*
Thank you Holy Light.
Thank you, the favored one of the Light, Dallion.
The golden magic was like soft feathers, picking out the remaining dark venom from my wounds.
At this time, they had gone to the inner room to treat Mr. Jigue.
The dwarf gentleman saved Dallion's life with a boning knife, but his unprotected hands were also cooked by the poison.
I spread my hands on the smooth wooden table and blew air on the wound. Only the cold air could make me feel better.
Unexpectedly, a neatly folded, moist white handkerchief was gently placed on my wrist, and the cold touch extinguished the burning pain burning there.
Without looking up, I knew it was Glico.
"Thank you!" I smiled gratefully at him.
But the melancholy boy just nodded to me politely, and then retreated into the shadow of the hall on crutches.
His detachment was... off-putting.
"Am I a man-eating wild wolf? Glico?" I bit my lip and asked.
"No……"
"Then sit down in front of me!"
He turned around and shook his head at me in the darkness, "I'm afraid..."
"You're not a girl, what are you afraid of?!" I interrupted him loudly. I could guess with my toes what he was thinking, and it must be about that damn curse of doom that made him look like an iceberg, "Come here!"
He stubbornly sat in the seat closest to the window, "Sorry..."
I didn't like his appearance, so I knocked on the wooden table with my elbow, "This sea must have swallowed countless lives. Isn't it normal for one or two ghosts with strong obsessions to crawl out of it?" ?”
"It's not a normal thing, Miss Messiah, have you ever seen a ghost crawling out of the river near your house?"
"...Have you seen it?"
"...I've seen other ones..."
"I've seen others too. An ooze monster crawled into our wine cellar, and I was almost killed by a skeleton knight! So, I'm quite unlucky too. Could it be that I'm also cursed..."
"Don't talk nonsense, the Holy Light will always bless you!"
I also realized that I had made a mistake, and immediately pursed my lips, "Well, of course the Holy Light will bless me, so I'm not afraid of anything!" I carefully raised my hands and walked up to him on tiptoe barefoot, condescendingly Looking at him, "Then, what are you afraid of?!"
He moved to the side and lowered his bright eyes.
Hey, look at his pitiful appearance...
"Glico," I turned to him, bent down and stared at his beautiful eyes like glass balls, until he threw his head back and had nowhere to escape, "I'm not afraid of the curse of bad luck, let alone you. That incomplete curse of bad luck on your body! All you need to do is find the witch who harmed you and beat her up!"
He swallowed and nodded, but his mood was obviously still very low.
"Then, you must come to the White House as a guest. Don't show up like a thief. Don't bring me those boots or skirts with woven feathers. Bring something else, okay?"
Those words made him slightly stunned.
I winked at him and said, "For example, Agamand Snowflake Cake?"
Finally, the beautiful boy who had been melancholy for a long time smiled and said, "Okay."
Ah, if this guy is really a girl, this smile will fascinate all the boys.
"I also want to find the best pony for you. I remember you liked it very much..."
"Oh! Really?! But this is too expensive! But I can pay..."
*
Squeak--
Unexpectedly, the door to the inner room was opened, and Dallion walked out while rubbing his forehead. His face was a little pale, and when he saw me standing in front of Gregor, his steps stopped even more.
As I said, ever since this guy lost his bangs, he looked more sinister.
So, at this moment, even though his eyes were calm as always, it made me feel inexplicably panicked, so panicked that I even curled up my fingers and toes.
"...How is Mr. Giger? Young Master Mograine?" It was Gregor who broke the strange silence. His back was straight, his eyes were looking past the curly hair on my shoulders, and he was facing Dallion from afar.
I couldn't help but straighten my back and squint my eyes at the boy who felt so oppressive.
He raised his thick eyebrows slightly, "He is fine. The Holy Light Magic is enough to make him fully recover. It only takes a few days."
He walked towards me, his steps were very heavy and steady, and his boots made a muffled sound when they came into contact with the wooden floor of the hall. The muffled sound extended all the way between me and Gregor.
He was a big man, and with such a squeeze, Gregor was completely blocked, and I had to take a few steps aside.
"I will tell the guards of Golden Maple Leaf Port about this," he continued before I could express my dissatisfaction, "Ms. Elena said that we can find them in the small dome building next to the dock. In addition, I We have decided to reserve three cabins on the Fish Skin, and we will get on board and leave here tomorrow morning."
"The Fishskin?" I repeated in disbelief. "If I remember correctly, its captain is a green dwarf? He also wants to chop off a thief's hands!"
"Yes, that's the green-skinned dwarf." He looked down at me with a smile. His bright blue eyes moved down from my cheeks and stared at my legs. This look made me jump back in shock. Got it!
This prodigal, what does he see? !
I just couldn't help but beat him!
"You don't need a pony, Messiah. What you need most is a pair of boots."
"Oh! Put me down!"
"Don't move, don't touch your hands, little girl!"
"Little boy, I'm an adult!"
"So, madam, in the evening, I saw a traveler vomiting all over the floor at the stairs... Even if it was cleaned up, you definitely don't want to step on it, right?"
