The girl was wearing a loose cotton shirt, and squatting behind the stone gate in some fright, her fair little face was a little blue, and her lips were dry without a trace of blood, she squatted in the shadow behind the stone door, holding a green golden apple, and ate quickly, as if she had been hungry for a long time.The pair of round and slender white legs were exposed outside the placket, which made this originally pure and lovely girl more seductive.There was a wound on her collarbone on her chest, which she had left when she stabbed herself with a dagger, but I was able to stop it in time.I pulled the gray shirt out of my fanny pack, I gave her a piece of white bread and a glass of water in addition to an apple, and I sat on a somewhat damp rock, wiping the blood from my palm with a handkerchief, and quietly watching the wound in my palm heal at a speed visible to the naked eye."
You don't have to worry, I'm not a bad person, I'm a student at the Academy of Magic, I have a friend who is a priest's apprentice in the temple, I got some news that she was locked up in this manor, and I came here to find her, maybe you still know her, her name is Sue, if you need my help" I tried to calm my tone, but her eyes were still full of guard.After hearing my name Sue, the girl obviously trembled violently, but she bit her lip, swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, secretly swept me with the corner of her eye, and immediately lowered her head."
You know her?"
I asked tentatively.The girl's face changed, and instead of answering, she looked at me vigilantly, and then said to me, "Su Ke never mentioned you to me. ”"Didn't she tell you that there was a boy who stole lemons from the lemon tree in her backyard every summer?"
I asked her.After recalling for a long time, she didn't seem to have any impression of me in her mind, so she asked suspiciously, "Who are you and why are you looking for Su?"
She told me that she had two older sisters and a younger brother, but she said that her eldest sister had not been heard from for five or six years, that her brother had died a long time ago, and that she had no relatives in the city of El!
Are you here to save her?
She only told me that her sister would come to her rescue!
”I touched my nose and said, "Anne is here too, but they choose to climb the wall from the golden apple orchard, and I will walk here alone, with all due respect, can you take me inside to find her?"
”I mentioned that Sue's sister was Anne, which slightly dispelled the girl's concerns.However, my presumptuous plea, apparently made her hesitate, and she seemed a little pitiful and whispered something to me, which I did not hear at first, she spoke in the dialect of the outskirts of El City, some of which had a very unique pronunciation, but her voice was very good, but it was a little soft: "I just want to go home." ”I think it's right, no matter who finally escapes from this weird-looking manor, it will be difficult for them to be willing to return, the girl must have had a very dark experience, since it is extremely normal to want to go home, you can't force it."
Well, if you could tell me a little bit about the manor, I just want to know how my friend is doing!"
So I went on to say that I was holding back my urgency and making my tone as calm as possible.Unexpectedly, after hearing my words, she raised her head and looked at me seriously and asked, "Are you really here to save her?"
”I saw that her eyes were full of hope, and those smart eyes seemed to be full of color all at once.I nodded and said to him, "I swear in the name of the goddess that all these words I have said are true. ”She looked at me in amazement, and I didn't care if she knew I didn't believe in Lady Liberty!
Rather than Liberty, I prefer to believe in the ancestral power of the orc tribe.Then I quickly walked up to her, crouched down and looked at her face, her eyes were a little red and swollen from crying, and I asked her anxiously in a half-pleading tone, "Since you know Sue, you must know where she is now?"
”"I don't know, I really don't know, the two of us were going to escape together, but apart from some accidents, she was called away by Master Ignaz."
When she said this, she almost cried with grievances, and the tip of her little nose was red, she always looked nervously behind the stone gate, worried that someone would come to arrest her, her expression always seemed very uneasy, her eyes were flustered and desperate, and she muttered to herself with a cry: "I know, but I can't escape on my own, but I don't have the courage to stay there anymore, it's hell, Lord Ignaz said that if we die, our souls will always be enslaved by him, and we will never ascend to heaven, so even if we will die, I want to die out there too!
”The girl looked a little desperate, half of the apple in her hand rolled to the ground, and tears fell down her dirty face like beads of broken threads, and dots fell on the placket of her cotton shirt.Seeing that she shed some tears, I stepped forward to comfort her and said, "Haven't you already escaped?"
If you hadn't met me, you'd have run out of this gloomy cave. ”I felt a little strange about her words, why did she already escape, but still said that she couldn't escape?
I guess she must have become a frightened bird at this time, and she would be very scared at the slightest hint of trouble.If it were me, I would never have the courage to sit outside the stone gate and eat apples, and I would run as far as I could.Seeing that she seemed to be hungry, I took out another loaf of white bread from my backpack and handed it over, and I asked her a little curiously, "Are you not from El City or have signed a slave contract?"
Why do you think you can't escape?
Haven't you escaped now?
”She took the white bread very carefully, clutched it tightly in her hand, and then shook her head and said to me: "My home is in the small town of Maas, it is not very famous, you may not have heard the name of this town, it is a satellite town around the city of El, I should be regarded as an Elr." ”I remembered the battle in late spring and early summer, in which I knew Morayar and Sophie, oh, and Lina, the personal maid of the mysterious woman Mansa, and I scratched my head and said, "Actually, I know exactly it, and I have friends who live there, and I have heard that the golden cider there is very famous." ”The girl covered her lips and complimented me in surprise: "You are such a knowledgeable person, thank you, Mr.
Magician!"
”"Ahem, actually, I'm just a magic apprentice!"
I was a little embarrassed to say it to her.I wanted to know more about the manor from her, so I asked her, "Who is the owner of the manor?"
”She told me that the owner of this place was a magician named Ignaz, but I had heard from the two priests that the manor was supposed to be the domain of the Elder of the House of Representatives of El City, and that the Elder of the House of Representatives was not Oya.
Joe?
And who is Ignaz?
Is there someone else who owns this manor?
The girl said while eating: "Lord Ignaz has kept a vicious dog here, usually it will go to the pine forest to eat, but as soon as it is full, it will come back, I have seen that vicious dog bite people to death, it is burning all over its body, I heard the people in the manor say, it is a demon dog that crawled out of hell, and likes to eat people."
Even if I run into that forest, I'll be eaten by it" just for freedom?
She knows that she can't escape, but she is still fighting for the right to freedom.She was even ready to die at all times, because the moment she saw me, she thought I was the one who captured her in the manor, and at that moment, she didn't even hesitate at all, and directly stabbed herself in the heart with a dagger, if I hadn't reacted fast enough to grab her dagger with my hand, maybe her body would have been cold at this time.The girl said to me with great eagerness, "So listen to me, Mr.
Magician, if you just want to save Sue, then please leave quickly!"
This is hell, and the people in it are a bunch of devils, so get out of here and go far before they even notice you.While the dog is still eating, you may be able to go back the way you came, and if you are discovered by Lord Ignaz, don't think that you are a magician nobleman, he will let you go!
”"Actually, you don't have to save Su at all, even if you see her, she won't go with you, she has been devoured by the devil, she no longer belongs to herself, she is already a servant of the devil, I could have escaped with her just now, but in the end she gave up!
No one would restrict the freedom of a priest's apprentice, but I don't know how she is, her personality has changed a lot recently, she was originally a smart and gentle girl, but recently her personality has changed a lot, and I don't even know her anymore, compared to before, it's like two people" The girl told about the changes in Su in recent days, and the girl saw that I had turned the stone gate, walked to the depths of the cave, and chased after me: "Mr.
Magic Apprentice, where are you going?"
”"Get Sue out of here!"
I wanted to give her a smile and a good wish, but I couldn't get the words out of my mouth, and my smile must have been stiff.I wanted to alleviate this embarrassment, and then said to her: "I'm sorry, I didn't know your name until now, you can call me Jijia, maybe there will be a chance in the future, I will go to Mas Town, we can have a chance to meet again, of course, please don't pretend not to know me at that time!"
”"My name is Cindy, thank you for helping me!"
The girl, Cindy, didn't dare to look at me, and she looked in the direction of the cave with some shame."
Goodbye then, Cindy.Good luck!
”I waved goodbye to Cindy, I had to hurry up and save Sue, and now that I knew she was inside, I had to act quickly.The girl, Cindy, bit her lip and turned a little pale, said to me, "You have to be careful, this cave is full of hell plants, full of dangers, I'm sorry" I said to her, "Oh, Cindy, you don't need to apologize, really!"
If you don't have to worry about the Cerberus outside the cave, because it's a bit noisy just now, we've sent it back to Hell, it should be safe in the pine forest" Cindy opened her mouth in surprise, but immediately realized that she was a little out of shape, and quickly covered it with her hand.At this time, I waved my hand at her one last time, and quickly burrowed through the stone door, and I was greeted by the whole cavern, which was overgrown with those strange plants of the hellish realm.Inside the stone gate, a whole row of Night Charms grew on both sides of the corridor, and I finally knew that the entire cave was a breeding base for hellish creatures, just like that crazy alchemist, and everything here was also for the pursuit of those dark magical powers.Most of the creatures in the Hell Realm are not suitable for growing on Roland Road, but only low-level creatures in the Hell Realm like Night Charm are the most tenacious, and they can survive with difficulty no matter where they go.After walking a few hundred steps inside, I began to find that a kind of magic flower of the Hell Demon Realm is also blooming delicately in the cave, after the colorful pink flowers wither, they will grow peache-like round fruits on the flower path, I feel that those magic flowers in my sight, as if I have seen them somewhere, the old Kuru once gave me a precious plant appreciation, there must be a magic flower, I am very impressed by this, and the orcs do not call them magic flowers, but more appropriate names, call them: poppy.This is a hellish demon flower with chronic neurotoxins, that Ignaz seems to really use this place as a base for raising demon creatures, not only some hellhounds, but the entire cave is planted with plants from the hell realm, I saw some mature hell demon flower stems, the round green fruit, many of them have been collected.I continued to walk inside, only to find that the girl had also caught up from behind, I thought she wanted to run all the way home, but since she had run out of the stone gate, there was really no need to run back.I turned my head to look at her in amazement, and the girl ran all the way over, a little out of breath."
Why are you back?"

I asked her in some surprise.Cindy's face flushed, but her clear eyes finally made her way to meet me, and although she looked like a little girl of twelve or thirteen, she seemed to have an adult mind.She looked at me with wide eyes and said a little timidly, "I don't want to lose a friend like Sue, maybe it's not too late for me to come!"
”"Of course, you're welcome to Team Jiga!"
I held out my hand to her, and before she could react, I quickly shook her hand and retracted it.This time, she blushed to the base of her ears.Unexpectedly, the stone cliff below the manor was completely empty, and the more I walked up along the stone cave, the more I found that the cave became wider and wider, and on the walls of the black cave there were some plants that exuded a faint blue brilliance, like some mosses, but like some fungal plants."
Ghost mushrooms!"
I almost exclaimed, this kind of magic herb is an extremely rare herb in the Grimm Continent, because its growth environment is extremely special, and it needs to be associated with some strange hell-based evil plants to grow, in the Grimm Continent, this kind of hell-type plant is almost extinct, so the ghost mushroom is a rare magic herb that can hardly be found in the Roland Continent.Along with the ghost mushrooms grow colorful fluorescent mushrooms, which grow so tall that they look like small umbrellas that fill the cavern.To be continued.
