She Is Not a Witch Chapter 96: Rainy night
After finishing this mission, the two began to return.
As dusk approached, the road in the mountains was a bit dark, and a layer of gray clouds floated in the sky, and drizzle fell.
Lorraine Hill (Mesia) raised her hand to cover the slight rain, stood on a hill and looked into the distance.
"It's a bit reluctant to go back before dark, and the rain is still getting heavier."
There is no road in the mountains. Once the ground is soaked by rain, it will become muddy. It is a trivial matter to get your clothes dirty, but it is really not a wise choice to drive in the rain.
"Let's find a place to rest for the night." The girl turned around and looked at Lottie beside her.
"Yeah." Lottie nodded, and then followed Messia in front.
After walking in the mountains for a long time, Mesia brought Lottie to a rock. Looking at the sloping rock wall, the girl pulled out her sword.
The lavender sword blade flashed in the air, and then a rock block peeled off from the rock wall, revealing a space to lean on.
"You stay here for a while, I'll go find some firewood." Mesia briefly ordered, and then went around the nearby woods, hugging the dead branches that were slightly stained with rain and dew.
Shortly after, a puff of green smoke rose, and then the firewood crackled and burned.
Just like that, the two of them sat under this rain-shielding rock wall, surrounded by a small bonfire, toasting their clothes and heating their dry food along the way.
The rain is getting bigger and bigger, the water droplets roll down from the layers of leaves, dripping on the ground, splashing continuous water, the world outside is hazy and noisy, and there is a little thunder in the distant sky.
Looking at the orange-red flames in front of her, a warm feeling came from the palm of her hand, Lottie felt much warmer, and Mesia also took off her shoes, knelt and sat on her side, baking and getting wet socks.
Looking at Messia's serious and quiet appearance, the corners of Lottie's mouth raised slightly unconsciously.
This swordsman girl also has a very cute side. Maybe she realized at this time that the other party should be about the same age as herself, but she has been covered by her extraordinary strength these days, so she has not noticed it.
"Where is Sister Messia from? The way you speak is very standard." Lottie was a little curious.
"Me?" Mesia, that is, Lorraine Hill thought about it.
How should I put it, saying that she is an imperial person is easy to reveal, she does not understand the local customs and traditional way of life.
"I'm from Clancia, and I grew up in a remote forest village."
"It doesn't feel like it. Sister Mesia is so powerful and knows so much." Lottie hugged her knees, put her chin on it, and looked at the girl in front of her.
"It's just a little bit more powerful. In fact, I have traveled everywhere, so I have been to many places." The girl unwrapped the bread wrapped in oiled paper in her hand, put it next to the fire, and prepared to bake it before eating.
"What about Lottie, is your family from the southern border?" At this moment, Lorraine Hill also asked.
"Well, yes. My house used to be pretty big, but now, maybe I'm the only one." Lottie said in a flat tone. I saw a lot.
"Sorry to remind you of something sad."
"You don't need to apologize. In fact, I've been thinking about it every day during this time, and I'm used to it." Lottie turned her gaze to the bonfire beside her. In the orange flames, memories of the past slowly emerged.
"Sister Mesia should be able to guess, I'm not a child from an ordinary family." Lottie said suddenly.
"I can probably feel it. After all, common people's children can't take care of them so well." Lorraine Hill smiled slightly. She had seen scenes of doing farm work when she was a child, and it was actually very hard work.
A **** is easy to say, but when the heavy **** is held in the palm of the hand and hits the ground heavily, the children will know how hard the dried soil is, and the reflection on the handle of the **** The shock was so painful and uncomfortable. The poisonous scorching of the sun and the mosquitoes in the grass are not beautiful things.
"I am indeed a child of a noble family." Lottie looked at the bonfire and slowly talked about the past.
"Life in my childhood was indeed luxurious and happy, so let me be a little willful."
"But this kind of life is over. After the defeat of the empire, my family was also a member of the liquidation, the title was deprived, and then encountered many unfortunate things."
When these words that were deeply buried in her heart were spoken, Lottie's mood suddenly improved a lot.
"I was protected by my retainers and guards and escaped. Later, the others slowly disappeared and scattered along the way, so I was the only one in the end."
"When I sleep, I often have dreams. I dream of many people, but I am also very scared and guilty. I can't do anything for them."
"If it was my elder brother, he would probably seek revenge, but I'm just a coward who wants to escape from all of this." Lottie said what was in her heart while staring blankly at the flame.
"I can't do it, I don't know what's right, and it's even hard to refute the charges against the family."
The rain in the mountains and forests is continuous. From time to time, drops of water fall from the trees and drip on the ground, splashing flashes of water, and some fall on the leaves, making a slight knocking sound .
Listening to Lottie's words, Lorraine Hill didn't know how to comfort her, so he patted her back lightly and sat with her.
The pancakes beside the flames were slowly roasting, with some traces of brown on the edges, and a faint fragrance spread in the rain.
"Eat something." The girl put the warm bread in Lottie's hand, then picked up a piece herself, and gently opened it to reveal the steaming meat inside.
She ate in small bites, because she was already hungry after staying outside for a day.
The two of them were eating hot dry food beside the cool rain, a faint satisfaction rose in their hearts.
It would be nice to have a comfortable bed~IndoMTL.com~Lorraine Hill thought so. If Ye Ling was here, he would definitely yell for the girl to make a comfortable big bed, and then roll on it by himself, listening to the sound of rain to sleep.
But for now, for the sake of confidentiality, let's be patient for now. Or, it is also a pleasure to experience a different life.
She took off the cloak behind her and spread it on the stone surface inside the rock wall, and then the two of them sat on it, preparing to simply rest for the night against the stone wall.
Speaking of which, her Transcendent Sequence is about to advance, or tonight.
Thinking in this way, Lorraine Hill closed his eyes, his thoughts gradually sank into the depths of his consciousness, and the extraordinary core like silver metal in his body also began to flicker.
The golden veins are like blazing coals, spreading and expanding within the extraordinary core, while the magic power continues to move forward along these veins, continuously running, and gradually expanding.
After a long time, Lorraine Hill opened his eyes again, it was already late at night. She stared intently at the virtual screen in her field of vision, and her own panel also emerged.
