The Dean Has Arrived Chapter 850: The Prince’s Revenge (Part 1)
Barys walked cautiously on the winding forest path.
The Black Forest has never been friendly to outsiders.
In the dark and humid woodland, far more snow than the outside remains in the woodland, which is completely inaccessible to the sun. The deerskin boots creak when stepped on, which is unpleasant.
It's obviously winter, but the sounds of birds and insects in the forest that make people feel uncomfortable still never stop, adding a bit of weirdness to this forest.
There are even rumors that there will be black loba (a kind of magical creature, like a genie like a troublemaker) in the Black Forest, they will destroy the mark, disturb the direction, and make the traveler lost in the forest forever.
Of course, of all the rumors about the Black Forest, that one is the most famous.
The witch of the Black Forest.
The rumors of the witch have been circulating in the surrounding area for hundreds of years, and it has never been cut off. There are still people who claim to have met the legendary witch in the Black Forest.
The purpose of Barris's trip was to find the witch.
Unlike most witches with eccentric personality, the witches of the Black Forest are the more talkative type of witches.
It is said that there have been rumors that people who lost their way in the Black Forest were sent out by him. This shows that the other party is at least the type that can communicate.
If you can communicate, you should be able to do some transactions with it.
Bairuis is not a commoner. In fact, he was the prince of the Luzhanting Kingdom a day ago, and he was the first heir to the original throne.
But now sitting on that throne. But it was his uncle, his father's brother—because his father, the beloved Lu Zhanting VII, died yesterday.
Although it is said to the outside world that he suddenly contracted a serious illness and died. But in fact, he was assassinated, and there is no news about the murderer.
No, it should be said, ‘There is no news on the face’.
According to common sense, for a period of time after the death of his father, the kingdom of Lu Zhanting will fall into chaos due to the lack of a leader in the group of dragons, and will finally be reintegrated and stabilized.
But for some reason, his father was assassinated. By the time Barris got the news and planned to enter the palace to provoke the main beam. It was discovered that the expected chaos did not occur. His uncle had been nominated by the officials and became the king's agent to stabilize the situation, as long as the king's council gave permission. His uncle can immediately take off the title of agent and become Lu Zhanting's righteous eighth king!
Even when he went to worship a mage to the royal family, the cold-faced old man asked his father's cause of death, and the other party would only use ‘the king was assassinated by an existence of the great magician level, and the old man could not do anything’ to shirk it.
People in the royal family are very clear that the enshrined wizards represent to a certain extent the views and attitudes of the Qi Yao Mage Association on something, so it is almost certain that even the Qi Yao Mage Association is unreliable now.
Even the only strong on his side, the head of the Knights of the Lu Zhanting Kingdom, and the Black Rose Witch Rose are currently under house arrest in disguise.
All the so-called "coincidences" add up. It gave Baris enough reason to believe that his father's death was not an accident, but a prepared action to usurp the throne!
Since the Pure White Church is a little taboo, it hardly participates in secular political struggles. It is almost impossible to rely on them as one of the three major forces to fight for their rights to reveal the truth. The current attitude of the King's Council is also very perfunctory, and it seems that they have already made up their minds to stand on the sidelines.
Since even the magician can't rely on it, then we can only find another way to find the help of the power that is out of everyone's field of vision.
For example, the witch.
The condolences for not seeing the corpse are meaningless. In addition, the longer the delay, the better for his uncle's stable rule.
Plus there is no trustworthy person around. So Barris simply ran out in the name of hunting and relaxing, and after getting rid of those who might be watching him, he entered the Black Forest where witches are said to live.
Although there are some more troublesome monsters in the Black Forest, but as soon as the Winter Transformation has just passed, many monsters are still in hibernation and have not awakened. Secondly, Barris not only has the ranks of the second-ranking magic swordsman. Strength, there is a rare rune sword "Early Winter" in his hand, and there is no threat to him against monsters below double digits.
While Barris was still thinking about what to say first after seeing the witch, his vision filled with various dwarf cedar trees suddenly opened up.
A strangely shaped house appeared in front of him.
The house is roughly similar to a bungalow, with red tiles and white walls, as well as ivy all over, but because there are several prominent rooms on the second floor, it gives people a slanted feeling.
From the outside, there are many windows in this house, but they are completely blocked by heavy curtains, and you can't see the inside at all.
Although there is no evidence, just the atmosphere on the house makes people feel that ‘this is the witch’s residence’.
Barys swallowed his saliva, and plucked up the courage to come to the door.
Just as he walked up the steps in front of the door and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, the vermilion wooden door opened by itself.
Does this mean to invite him in when he knows he is here?
Barris settled down and calmed down his flustered mood. After all, he was also a former prince, and his mind and concentration were better than ordinary people, so he quickly calmed down and walked into the dark house.
Obviously there are no trees around the house, and the rays of the two suns in the sky are also very brilliant, but the light seems to be completely swallowed as soon as it enters the hallway, leaving only the black hole corridor.
Barys naturally does not have dark vision and other abilities. Walking in a dark and strange corridor, he is naturally anxious. He always feels as if he is walking in the mouth of a giant beast, every step is in. Let yourself go to the abyss of terror.
Fortunately, the corridor is not long, and soon he came to the bottom of the corridor.
There was another wooden door. The door was not locked. He just pushed the door slightly and opened it with a creak.
"Welcome, lost traveler."
A young-sounding and excessive female voice came from the door.
After that, Barrys could see what was going on inside.
Behind the door should be a room that is not too big. There is a huge table in the center of the room. A crystal ball is placed on the table. At this time, the crystal ball is emitting a faint blue light, which is also the only light source in the room. .
Through the dim light, Barris can see that there are many bookshelves around the room, but there are many other things besides books on the bookshelves.
For example, a crystal skull, a black stone with a weird pattern, a metatarsal of a certain monster, a black cat staring at him, candy...Wait, candy?
I must have read it wrong.
Bairuis barely stabilized his mind and forced himself to shift his attention from the cheap candy that can be bought at the market with a few coppers to behind the wooden table~IndoMTL.com~ The person wearing wizard robes and pointed wizard hat should be the target of his trip, the witch of the Black Forest.
It's just that the witch is surprisingly small, maybe not as big as her own sister.
What makes Barriss even more concerned is that there is another figure behind the witch.
Although the opponent is hidden in the shadows, only a rough outline is revealed, but a male can be barely identified.
Could it be the summoned creature of a witch?
Some rumors about witches flashed through Barris's mind, and then he decided not to care about that.
"Dear Miss Witch, I hope to get your help."
Since the witch uses "Welcome" as the opening statement, it means that the other party should not be hostile to herself for the time being.
This is a good signal.
Barris said sternly.
"Being able to pass through my enchantment means that you have a desire to accomplish... Say your wish, and then give your bargaining chip, I will decide whether or not to be with you depending on whether it is equivalent Sign the contract and fulfill your wish."
The witch didn't talk nonsense with him either... It would be better to say that he was an unusual and cheerful person like the legendary witch.
Barys coughed lightly while thinking about the mess, and began to tell his own story... (to be continued)
ps: Due to well-known reasons, the update in the last few days should be a little slower, please understand~
There is also a question raised by a reader why I don’t show up in the book review section.
In fact, there is only one truth! That is--
It’s troublesome to type something_(:3∠)_
