Release that Witch - Chapter 1105

[Chapter 1081 Silent Night]

After nightfall, the entire camp fell into silence.

People who have been busy all day have completely fallen asleep at this moment, and the witch is no exception.

But Lightning didn’t feel sleepy at all.

Such days have lasted for almost half a month—or from the moment she left the Misty Forest, she felt an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart.

The wound pecked by Maggie also began to ache, as if reminding her of what happened that day.

Lightning couldn’t even distinguish whether the throbbing pain was her illusion. She tried many ways to distract her, but all ended in failure.

However, with the naked eye, the wound did not change, neither disappeared nor expanded, just like a scarlet spot stubbornly residing on her chest.

This sense of confusion made her mentally haggard, and she could not fall asleep until three or four in the morning. Even so, the short sleep would be filled with nightmares one after another, and she would be awakened by the slightest noise.

Looking at Maggie, who was lying on her hair sprawled across her head, sleeping soundly, Lightning secretly sighed.

She re-covered the quilt that the other party had lifted, but she quietly rolled down the floor bunk and walked out of the house.

The witch’s camp is located in the center of the camp, surrounded by the God’s Punishment Witch who is in charge of guarding. With the idea of not wanting to disturb the guards, she flew out of the air and finally landed on the track under construction.

The bright moonlight filled the road under her feet, and there was a silver edge on both sides of the railroad track; the evening wind blew across the night-shrouded field, bringing not only the friction of the bushes, but also the distant and near birds. Call and insects.

This kind of night scene can be admired by Lightning for a long time in the past, but now she has no intention of admiring it at all.

She didn’t even dare to cast her eyes in the direction of Taquila – the monster hidden in the dark land seemed to be staring at her all the time, as long as her eyes passed by, the scar on her chest would remind her of this fact.

Lightning looked at the receding sleepers under his feet, with a bitter taste in his mouth.

During more than a month of recovery training, she managed to overcome her psychological fear before crossing the low border wall of Neverwinter.

She thought that as long as she persisted, even if she couldn’t face Taquila’s high-level devils again, at least she could return to her normal state.

But the result ruthlessly smashed this idea to pieces—not only was she unable to use her awakening ability freely, but she always felt restrained when flying. Even when she encountered ordinary devils, she lost the courage she had in the past.

Otherwise, no matter what the enemy’s plan is, she and Maggie can make the four crazy demons come and go.

It’s a pity that now, she only dared to follow the enemy far away, waiting for them to retreat on their own.

It can be said that she held everyone back.

Thinking of this, Lightning couldn’t help feeling a little sour in his eyes.

No matter how much you conceal it, it is impossible to hide it from everyone forever.

Even if she is as dull as Maggie, she has sensed that something is wrong with her recently.

Perhaps one day, she will abandon her timid self and fly to a higher place alone.

When the time came, what would she do?

“I’m really useless.” Lightning squatted down and buried his head in his knees. “A person who is frightened by the devil has no qualifications to be the leader of the expedition team. They will definitely laugh at me if they find out… …I always boast that I am the greatest explorer, but I am cowardly than anyone else.”

Yes, there seems to be a voice in my heart answering, they will laugh at you sooner or later.

“But I don’t want to see this day…” Her voice choked up.

Who made you always boast and be self-righteous?

If you don’t want to see their ridicule, you can’t avoid it except to leave here and go to a place where no one knows.

“The only way is to leave… here?”

“That’s not acceptable.” Suddenly someone said.

“Eh?” Lightning was stunned for a moment, then raised his head abruptly, and saw a familiar figure standing not far away. Under the white moonlight, the long ears and tail of the other party were particularly eye-catching.

“… Lorgar?”

“Ahem——” the wolf girl coughed twice, “Beforehand, I didn’t overhear you talking to yourself on purpose.”

At this moment, she noticed that Lorgar’s body was covered with sweat, which was flickering Reflecting the moonlight, the Mojin people’s unique wheat-colored skin was like a shining stone covered with morning dew, making it extremely translucent.

“Did you just… train?”

“Yeah, I am not born with great strength like a superhuman. Even if I become a desert wolf, I still need to rely on practice to strengthen myself. Otherwise, let alone fighting, even running A few steps are enough.” Luo Jia spread his hands and said, “Recently, the devil doesn’t take the initiative to attack, and I promised the chief not to leave the position without permission, and I can’t even guarantee the basic activity, so I can only make up at night.”

“Yes .

What…” Lightning suddenly came back to her senses, she quickly took a deep breath, covered her face with her hands and said, “Did you hear everything?”

There was no need to answer this question, as wolves have always had extremely keen ears.

She suddenly felt her face become hot.

“That…” Lorgar paused, “I’ve never comforted anyone before, so I won’t comfort you now—I just want to tell you a story about my father.”

“Although he was born in the Wild Flame Clan, He also inherited the name of Burning Fire, but at that time no one thought that he would become the head of the clan. Because among the eight successors, he had an obvious shortcoming: he was afraid of life, and did not dare to go out alone to participate in joint hunting. And this is also It was regarded by Mo Jinshamin as a major event to select the patriarch—after all, the patriarch is not only an internal ruler, but also needs to show influence externally. All clans will send out the most outstanding young generation to prove their strength.”

Lightning couldn’t help but be stunned Oh…she heard right?

The shy person in the other party’s mouth had made a big splash at the Neverwinter Games not long ago, and even attracted His Majesty Roland’s attention.

Could it be that Lorgar’s father was actually someone else?

“In fact, when he told me these things, I didn’t believe them at all, and I even asked my grandfather to confirm.” Lorgar smiled, and slowly walked over to squat beside her, “but it turned out that these things are true. I asked my grandfather Why did he pass on the position of patriarch to my father? He replied that Goulds may not be able to do anything by himself, but as long as he is accompanied by his clansmen, he is the strongest warrior in the clan. If so, then It would be nice not to let him be alone. And the clan is closely cohesive, which is the normal state most of the time. Compared with this, what can a hunt prove?”

Lightning felt his heart tremble .

“Actually, what my father and elder brother did in Neverwinter… I’m quite happy, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com” Lorgar lowered his ears, “Because my father did for me what he could never do alone It’s a

matter…although it’s a bit embarrassing.”

Uh, is…is that so?

You left them in the castle hall and ran back to the Witch’s House alone, saying you never wanted to see them again—although it didn’t feel right to meet them in that attire.

“I think my grandfather probably wanted to tell me that courage comes from my own heart and can also be learned from others.” Lorgar said slowly, “In this case, why do we have to care about personal courage? Similarly, if the expedition team Your partners are in crisis, will you give them up and run away alone?”

Lightning was silent for a moment, “…Thank you.”

“I told you, this is not comfort, it’s just a story.” The wolf girl turned her head, “So I don’t need to thank you. In addition, the expedition group is quite interesting… Since you have brought me in, you have to be responsible to the end.”

She felt her eyes were a little sore again, and she pretended to be too aggressive and rubbed it quickly. Twice, when she took a calm breath and was about to answer, the other party suddenly turned around and covered her mouth.

“Hush—”

“What’s wrong?” Lightning asked in a low voice after Lorgar let go.

“Did you hear any sound?”

Sound?

She raised her head and listened carefully – there was nothing but the gentle evening breeze.

Wait… What about the chirping of night owls and bugs earlier?

“That direction—something is coming,” Lorgar straightened his ears, looking at the night sky to the east. “The whistling sound is—be careful!”

She hugged Lightning and rolled down the roadbed!

Almost at the same time, an ear-piercing roar exploded above their heads!
