Release that Witch - Chapter 317
[Chapter 316 Exploring the Stone Tower Again]
Seeing His Royal Highness leave, Lightning pulled Maggie to a corner of the hall.
“Goo?”
Her hair was almost dragging to the ground, moving like a floating ghost.
Pushing aside the white hair covering her cheeks, Maggie’s cheeks were puffed up, and there was still half of the pork ribs that hadn’t been swallowed in her mouth.
“I found an interesting place,” Lightning whispered, “it’s in the Hidden Forest, and I plan to go exploring tomorrow, do you want to come with me?”
“Gulu.” Maggie swallowed the food in her mouth, repeatedly Nodding, “Okay, okay, what do you want to prepare?”
“A three-piece adventure suit… No, the three most commonly used things,” Lightning found that when he was speaking now, he occasionally came up with a strange vocabulary that His Royal Highness Roland used to say, ” Fire scythe, dry food and dagger. The distance is not far, enough food to carry for a day, don’t fill your entire pocket like last time.”
“Good grin,” Maggie patted her chest, ready to leave At that moment, Lightning stopped her again.
“Remember, this expedition is our secret, so don’t tell anyone else.” The little girl warned, “We will set off tomorrow morning.”
Looking at Maisie’s eagerly approaching the dining table, she curled her lips , Start thinking about tomorrow’s plan.
Although the bombing was successful and did not disappoint His Highness’s expectations, she found that she was not as flexible as before when flying, as if something was restricting her actions.
As long as the speed is raised, Lightning feels as if there is always a devil chasing her behind.
This is an obstacle brought about by fear. She realized that the source was the trip to the stone tower. After seeing the terrifying figure at the door of the basement, she lost her composure and composure, and only wanted to escape from this place as soon as possible. After that, she explored herself The identity of the family has been questioned.
“Fear is not terrible, what is terrible is the unknown. If you want to overcome it, you must first approach it.”
Lightning silently recited what her father taught her. Tomorrow may encounter real danger, but explorers should not be afraid of danger, let alone shrink back. If she cannot overcome this point, she may find it difficult to fly freely in the future .
This is also the reason why Lightning decided to act without the knowledge of His Royal Highness Roland.
According to His Highness’s plan, the exploration of the stone tower will be arranged after the evil moon, and the first army and witch team will be sent to coordinate there.
She worried that by that time, even if she came to the Stone Tower again, it would be difficult for her to have the idea of “conquering fear”—you have to rely on the courage of everyone to approach dangerous situations, which cannot be called an adventure at all.
His Highness may scold her and confiscate her ice cream afterwards, and the sisters of the Witch Union will also worry about it, but she still made up her mind.
As the daughter of Lei Ting, the greatest explorer of the Fjords, Lightning could not accept a cowardly self.
However, this decision does not mean acting recklessly. Compared to being unprepared a few months ago, she now has the revolver presented by His Highness, has a better understanding of the devil, and Maggie is by her side.
Especially the last point… If Maggie really meets a group of devils in the tower, even if Maggie can’t turn into a monster to drive away the enemies, at least she can escape with herself.
An explorer doesn’t need a large army to embolden him, she thought, but a few trusted teammates.
After the dinner, Lightning packed the accumulated slices of honey meat into cloth pockets, followed by weapons, torches, and water bags.
Successfully completing the bombing mission brought her back some confidence, and His Highness’s encouragement and slightly bearded cheeks also gave her courage.
To strike while the iron is hot, tomorrow is the best time to start.
Early in the morning, she flew to the top of the castle, and Maggie was squatting on the wall waiting for her.
“Check your package.”
“I brought Guo everything you told me to do,” she changed back to the original, and opened the backpack slung across her waist for the little girl to check.
This time, the food inside was reduced from full to half, but at least the dagger and scythe were stuffed into it.
“Okay, you’re qualified this time… Let’s go,” Lightning soared into the sky, and flew towards the Misty Forest with the pigeon.
…
This journey has been repeated many times in Lightning’s mind, and he can find the right direction even with his eyes closed.
Today’s weather is a little gloomy, but it is much better than the dark clouds last time.
The color blocks that make up the earth slowly moved back, and the closer they got to the stone tower area, the more nervous the lightning became.
“The interesting place you said last night was the new eagle’s nest?” Maggie asked.
“No, it’s much more interesting than that.” Lightning shook his head. “The target we want to explore is an ancient ruins. It is a stone tower left over four hundred years ago. The basement has not yet collapsed. Maybe we can find some descriptions inside.” Ancient books describing the situation at that time.
“Ancient books?
Maisie shook her wings, “It doesn’t sound like there’s any fun in picking out eagle eggs.”
”
An eagle’s nest can only have two or three eggs at most, and they can be eaten in a few bites,” the little girl said in a persuasive manner. “If you can really find such books and bring them back to His Highness Roland, he will definitely be willing to reward you with a basketful.” Eggs, whether boiled or steamed, are up to you, and eating three a day can last a long time.
”
“Really?
Maggie regained her spirits immediately, “Then let’s find ancient books quickly!”
Cuckoo!
Near noon, the two arrived at the sky above the destination smoothly.
The
half stone tower covered by vines and moss still stands in the woods, and everything around it looks the same as it did a few months ago, without any changes. Lightning lowered its height and circled the stone tower Fly around and land gently after confirming safety.
“Is this right?
“The pigeon yelled, lying on top of her head.
“Shhh——” Lightning made a gesture of silence. In the silent forest, the voices of the two seemed extraordinarily noisy, “Speak softly, there may be devils here.
”
“The devil?”
“Maggie’s tail immediately stood up.
“You wait for me on the top,” she pointed to the top of the broken tower, and said in a low voice, “I’ll check the situation first.
”
Stepping on the gradually withering grass, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com made a slight rustling sound under its feet. The entrance of the stone tower was not re-sealed by plants, and Lightning could still see a small cluster that was cut off by himself with a dagger last time. vine.
Holding her breath, she drilled into the tower the same way, approaching the basement passage in the center of the tower bit by bit.
Looking at the stairs in front of her into the darkness, she could even hear her own heartbeat.
Fear comes from the unknown, overcome the fear, and approach the unknown… The little girl kept pumping herself up in her heart, lit the torch, and walked down the stairs step by step.
Walking to the corner of the passage, she peeked quietly. The collapsed wooden door had been shattered, and there was no devil at the entrance of the basement. There was only the deep darkness behind the door, like a big mouth that devoured people.
At this moment, she heard a voice floating in the darkness, vaguely, but extremely familiar –
Lightning couldn’t help shivering, the hairs all over her body stood on end in an instant, and she almost couldn’t restrain herself from wanting to turn around and escape!
She clenched her teeth, suppressed the fear welling up in her heart, covered her mouth, and listened again.
This time the shout was much clearer, and the pitch was exactly the same as last time.
“help me……”
