Release that Witch Chapter 316: Explore stone tower again
When His Highness the Prince left, Lightning pulled Macy to the corner of the hall.
"Goo?"
Her hair is almost dragged to the ground, moving like a floating ghost. Remove the white hair blocking the cheeks, Macy's cheeks bulge high, and half of the brittle pork ribs that are not swallowed.
"I found an interesting place," Lightning whispered, "Just in Hidden Forest, are you going to explore tomorrow, will you come with me?"
"Grumbling." Macy swallowed the food in his mouth and nodded again and again, "Okay, what should I prepare?"
"Three-piece adventure set ... No, three of the most commonly used things," Lightning found that he sometimes occasionally came up with a strange word commonly used by His Highness Roland, "Fire sickle, dry food and dagger. Not far away, food It ’s enough to take one day, so do n’t fill the whole pocket like you did last time.
"Gee," Macy patted his chest. When he was about to leave, Lightning called her again.
"Remember, this adventure is our secret, so don't tell anyone else." The little girl urged, "We will be set off tomorrow morning."
Looking at Macy, she couldn't wait to gather her back at the dining table, she pouted and started thinking about tomorrow's plan.
Although the bombing was successful and did not live up to her Highness's expectations, she found that she was no longer as flexible as before when flying, as if something was holding her back. As long as the speed is raised, Lightning feels like there is always Devil behind her.
This is an obstacle brought by fear. She realized that the source lies in the stone tower journey. After seeing the terrible figure in the basement door, she lost her calmness and calmness. She just wanted to escape here as soon as possible. Have doubts about his identity as explorer.
Fear is not terrible, terrible is unknown. To overcome it, you must first approach it.
Lightning recited his father ’s teachings in his heart, and tomorrow may be in real danger, but explorer should not be afraid of danger, let alone hold back. If she ca n’t overcome this, she ’s afraid it will be difficult in the future. Free to fly.
This is why Lightning decided to hide from His Highness Roland and act without permission. According to His Royal Highness's plan, Exploration stone tower will be arranged after Months of Demons, and First Army and witch teams will be dispatched to coordinate at that time. She was worried that by then, even if she came to stone tower again, it would be very difficult to have the idea of "conquering fear". It was necessary to rely on the courage of everyone to dare to approach the danger, and it was not an adventure at all.
His Highness will probably scold her and punish her for ice cream, and the sisters of Witch Union will also worry about it, but she still makes up her mind.
As the daughter of Fjord's greatest explorer Thunder, Lightning cannot accept a cowardly self.
But this decision is not tantamount to acting recklessly. Compared to the unpreparedness a few months ago, she now has a revolver given by her Highness, a better understanding of Devil, and Macy aside. accompany.
Especially the last point ... If you really meet a group of Devil in inside tower, even if Macy can't turn into Evil Beast's to drive away the enemy, you can at least take yourself away.
explorer does not need the team to be brave for herself, she thinks, but can have several trusted teammates.
After the dinner, Lightning packs the accumulated honey meat slices into the cloth pocket, followed by weapon, torch and water bag.
Successfully completing the bombing mission has regained some confidence for her. Her Highness's encouragement and slightly cheeky cheeks have also doubled her courage. To strike the iron while it is hot, tomorrow is the best time for set off.
In the early morning, she flew up to the top of the castle, Macy was squatting on the wall waiting for her.
"Check your package."
"I gave you a goo," she changed back to the original, and opened the backpack diagonally across her waist for the little girl to examine. This time the food stuffed in was reduced from half full, but at least stuffed with daggers and fire sickle.
"Well, you are qualified this time ... we set off," Lightning rose into the air, and took the pigeon to Hidden Forest.
...
This journey has been repeated many times in Lightning's mind, and you can find the right direction even with your eyes closed. Today's weather is slightly gloomy, but it is much better than the last dense Dark Cloud. The color blocks that make up the earth move slowly backwards, and the closer to the stone tower area, the Lightning becomes more nervous.
"Did you say something interesting last night, the new Eagle's Lair?" Macy asked.
"No, it's 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 400 years ago. The basement has not collapsed, maybe it can be inside. Find some ancient books describing situation at that time.
"Ancient books?" Macy shook his wings, "It doesn't sound like an eagle egg is interesting."
"There are only two or three eggs in an eagle nest, and they will be eaten in a few mouthfuls," the young girl said enthusiastically. "If you can find such books and bring them back to His Highness Roland, he will definitely reward you. A basket of eggs, whether boiled or steamed, is with you, and you can eat three for a long time.
"Really?" Macy suddenly came to the spirit, "Then let's go find ancient books! gu gu!"
At noon, the two successfully reached their destination.
stone tower half-covered by vines and moss still stands in the woods, everything around it looks the same as it did a few months ago, unchanged. Lightning lowered the altitude and flew a circle around stone tower, and landed gently after confirming the safety.
"That's it?" the dove muttered, lying on top of her head.
"Hush" Lightning made a snoring gesture. In the silent forest, the voices of the two seemed extremely loud. "Speak softly, there may be Devil here."
"Devil?" The tail of Macy stood up immediately.
"You wait for me above," she pointed to the top of the broken tower, and lowered her voice, "I'll go and explore situation first."
Stepping on the withered grass, a slight rustling sound was heard at the foot, and the entrance of stone tower was not re-blocked by plants. Lightning could also see a small cluster of vines that was cut by himself with a dagger last time. She held her breath and drilled into the tower the same way, near the basement passageway in the center of the tower. Looking at the dark steps, she could even hear her heartbeat.
Fear originates from the unknown, overcomes the fear, approaches the unknown ... The little girl keeps inspiring herself in the heart, lighting the torch, and stepping down the stairs step by step.
When she walked to the corner of the passage, she quietly glanced at it. The collapsed wooden door was broken and the entrance to the basement was no longer Devil. Only the deep darkness behind the door was left, like a mouthful.
At this moment, she heard a sound floating in the darkness, if it was not, she was very familiar
Lightning couldn't help but take a nap, and the cold hair all over the body erected for a while, almost couldn't help but want to turn and escape! She gritted her teeth, suppressing the rising fear of bottom of heart, covering her mouth, listening to her ears again.
The shouts were much clearer this time, and the tone was exactly the same as last time.
"Save me ..." (To be continued., Your support is my greatest motivation.)
