Release that Witch Chapter 56: Between the mountains
Nightingale walks slowly along the mountain trail.
The road under her feet is not shoulder wide, with a huge stone wall on her side and a steep mountain rock on the opposite side. The distance between them is about one foot wide, and the gully in the middle is bottomless. She leaned carefully against the stone wall to avoid slipping and slipping.
raised head, there is only a thin line of light shining in the sky, like a silver wire hanging in the night sky. But she knew that it was just -- at noon. Even in the daytime, she needed to raise a torch, and the light passing through the rock wall through come in was not enough to illuminate the road ahead. After walking for a long time, she even gave the illusion that she was walking inside the mountain.
The only good thing here is that despite the cold winds and the heavy snow in the mountains, the gorges remain unaffected. Occasionally, a few snowflakes fell from the top of the head, and quickly fell into water vapor on the mountain wall or trail. It has a temperature that is not commensurate with the outside world, and occasionally she can see the heat rising from the abyss under her feet.
If not, she would not dare go to Impassable Mountain Range alone at Months of Demons. The fog kept her in shape, but she couldn't isolate the temperature. If you walk on the cold wind, it is estimated that you will freeze to death in the snow without an hour.
But Nightingale doesn't want to stay here for an extra moment. -- because she always feels that something is watching her in the dark, making her heart creepy.
If you can, Nightingale hopes to go the full distance in the mist. Unfortunately, her physical strength does not support her to do that. Using her power for a long time will quickly exhaust her.
Nightingale raised a torch, and the opposite rock suddenly appeared. In the weak light, she could occasionally see dark shadows of different sizes on the opposite stone wall. Nightingale knows that these are grotto. Because it is very deep, the light cannot enter, and it looks like a dark shadow. And the stone wall close to himself is in the same position, and there is deep hole corresponding to one by one.
This reminds her of the rumors of Northern Slope Mine. It is said that there was a lair of underground monsters there. There are many branches in all directions that were excavated by monsters. And Northern Slope Mountain is just a corner of Impassable Mountain Range. Will these caves also have a channel connected to the mine?
The idea shuddered her.
The west of Impassable Mountain Range is a wild wasteland with no one to set foot. If you can dig out numerous holes inside the towering mountains that stretch hundreds of miles, I am afraid that only monsters living in wild wasteland can do it.
She didn't dare to think about it any more, and concentrated on moving forward.
Finally, the road ahead has changed. The shoulder-width pavement is divided into two, one slightly upwards, and one straight down, extending to a deeper place. The end quickly submerged into the darkness, no one knows. Where does this road lead? Standing at the bifurcation point, the feeling of being stared has become very strong, as if countless pairs of eyes in the darkness are watching her motionless, making her mouth dry and scalp tingling.
Nightingale gritted his teeth, turned on the fog, and walked up quickly. Soon, the strange feeling disappeared.
As the altitude rises, the surrounding air temperature gradually decreases, and the silver line above the head becomes wider. Half a quarter of an hour later, a huge grotto appeared in front of her right, with the lower edge of the opening slightly higher than the road. She lifted her legs and stepped into the cave, where the fire could be seen faintly in the cave.
This is where Cooperation Association hides.
Nightingale stepped out of the fog and was immediately discovered by the guarding witch. A black gas wall blocked her, but it disappeared quickly, and the companion's surprise cries out in the darkness, "You are back!" /
Finally back, she thought, but when she noticed the two white cloths entangled in her companion ’s arm, Nightingale just jumped up and sank again, "There are two more sisters ..."
The other's voice stopped for a moment. "Uh ... ah, it's Airy and Abby. They failed to survive adulthood five days ago." She reluctantly laughed, "This is a common occurrence, isn't it? No Having said that, hurry up to camp, Wendy missed you for a long time. "
Airy and Abby, a pair of twins from a wealthy family of Fallen Dragon Ridge, ended their lives in this deep mountain. Nightingale sometimes wonders if they are doing the right thing. If they do n’t take them away, at least they can enjoy a well-groomed life before the death, instead of having to follow everyone's wandering and homeless days.
But thinking of Wendy, Nightingale bottom of heart surged a warm current. If she did not give her a helping hand, I am afraid that she is still like a puppet and used as a tool that can be discarded at any time. By the way, tell her the news earlier, tell all the sisters that they no longer need to hide from Tibet like Mouse, someone is willing to accept them, and ... it is possible to pass the annual awakening day safely!
Into camp, Nightingale saw a familiar figure squatting by the bonfire to handle food. Before anyone arrived, she could not help shouting: "Wendy, I am back."
The other party acted, raised head, and then revealed the familiar smile of Nightingale, "Veronica, welcome home."
Wendy is an extremely kind woman and the earliest member of Cooperation Association. Now in her thirties, she can't see a wrinkle on her face. Her straight red-brown hair is almost waist-length, her facial features are mature and charming, and she looks like a big sister to everyone. She cares about every sister of Cooperation Association, and she can help as much as she can in daily life or psychological enlightenment. If it were not for Wendy, Cooperation Association would not have gathered so many witch so quickly.
Nightingale met her, so she resolutely stepped out of the family, and embarked on a journey to find Holy Mountain with her. She is also one of the few who knows her original name.
"How many times have I said, I am no longer the cowardly little girl of the past," Nightingale shook his head with a smile, "I am now a strong witch, Veronica is no longer there."
"You were once you too. Getting rid of the old nightmare does not mean giving up with the past," Wendy said softly. "Of course, you like it. Nightingale, I have been waiting for you back, all the way.
"Yeah," Nightingale stepped forward and hugged her, "Thank you."
It took a while before Wendy began to ask, "How is that girl, have you ... failed to save her?"
Speaking of this, Nightingale suddenly came to a spirit. She grabbed each other's arm and said excitedly: "No, she doesn't need me to save, instead, she saved us all!" Then she detailed the Border Town's experience It recounted, "The feudal lord there is called Roland Wimbledon, Fourth Prince of Kingdom of Greycastle, and he is willing to accept us. And he promised that one day, witch will be able to live like freemen in his territory!" >
