She Is Not a Witch: Fanwai·Wisteria
The First Age, 6825, the age of elves and orcs.
Under the gloomy sky, sparse rain is falling, the branches and leaves of the shrubs in the mountains are wet, and the rain is flowing on the gravel and fallen leaves. One foot on the ground can splash a small water splash.
Huh....huh....huh....
The two children panted and ran in the rainy mountain forest. The dense branches and shrubs covered their figures well, and the flowing rain also took away inconspicuous traces.
In order to avoid unknown hunters behind, they choose to walk in densely packed shrubs and woods, and they also pay attention to stepping on fallen leaves or rocks instead of directly stepping on the muddy soil to avoid leaving footprints.
After traveling several kilometers, the two of them finally slowed down due to exhaustion, and finally hid in the bushes and grasses under a big tree.
Leaning on the slippery rock, the cold rain water seeped into the clothes from the neck and chest, and flowed through the body, making people feel cold and uncomfortable.
"Sena...huh...is okay...huh..." the boy gasped and asked his sister next to him, looking at 16-17, his figure was a little thin , And the girl next to her is even thinner.
"Huh...huh...It's okay." The girl was also panting, her small face was pale, and there was almost no blood on her face where the rain was flowing.
"That's all right." The boy relaxed for a while, lying on the rock and looking at the sky with the drizzle, his anxiety and panic finally calmed down a little.
The two are children living in nearby human villages. They are not very old. They usually do some chores for adults, such as weaving, collecting firewood, and taking care of livestock in captivity. Occasionally when it is not busy, I will go to the surrounding mountains to play with a few friends of the same age.
For this reason, they are very familiar with this mountain, so they can walk through the rain quickly without getting lost or falling.
Unexpectedly, where they usually play, they saved their brothers and sisters at a critical moment. The teenager sighed so.
Humans in this era are very weak. They often live in remote mountains or narrow caves, so as to avoid contact with outside orcs.
In today’s world, three powerful elven races have built three powerful elven kingdoms around the world tree, but they have little interest in the outside world. The barriers set up on the border of the country prevent the intrusion of idlers and others. , Only a few elves will walk around the world as rangers and travelers. And they are often highly skilled and good at dealing with various situations.
Outside the land ruled by the elves, the vast wilderness, mountains, and sea are ruled by the orcs. Some of them herd horses, some spread their wings and fly, and some dived into the sea to cruise, occupying a large amount of land. Although the number of high-level transcendents is far inferior to that of elves, they still have great strength.
The small mountain village where the two children live is in a remote mountain in the orc territory.
In the past, the orcs seldom paid attention to this small village deep in the mountains. Unless you are unlucky and you happen to run into an orc, you will either be killed by the opponent's play, or the opponent is chasing bigger prey and despise you. In addition, few people can escape the orc's pursuit.
Their physique and sense of smell are significantly stronger than humans, and most of their extraordinary strengths are stronger than humans. An adult orc can easily deal with 3-4 humans. Besides, the nutrition of many humans is not good, and it is even more difficult to face the orcs.
Under such circumstances, the human village is like a broken mouth snack after hunting in the eyes of these orcs, and occasionally come over to find out if there are any good things accumulated, and then smash and torture wantonly and relax. Feeling.
Faced with such a situation, human beings dare not say anything, so they can only keep hiding and migrate to deeper mountains and forests and more remote lands.
But even in this situation, it's hard to maintain it now.
I don’t know why, the climate has been cold in the past few years, just like entering an ice age, the temperature is also slightly lower, and the harvest is not good in many places. And this is not good, it spreads all over the mainland, among all tribes. As a result, food and food are gradually in short supply.
The image of humans, whom the orcs didn't care about in the past, has gradually become worse. In the eyes of some orcs, humans are mice in the mountains, and they always do something sneaky. Maybe they stole their own food and spoiled other food.
With such thoughts and thoughts, some orc tribes began to expel surrounding human villages. What's more, they just picked up an axe and chopped them down one by one, just taking them back and eating them like other prey. Meat.
This morning, the village where these two children lived, encountered such a situation. Fortunately, one of them was still clever, looking wrong, and took advantage of the chaos to escape with his sister.
"Brother, do you think Uncle Tonglei and the others will be okay." After a short break, the younger sister gradually recovered a bit of strength and began to worry about the situation in the village.
The boy was silent for a while, then said slowly.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Although he feels very upset, he doesn't want his sister to be so panicked. Tong Lei is the best and strongest hunter in the village, and is also the object of many children's admiration. He can always bring people a lot of security.
Just like this, the two children hid in the cold mountains and did not carefully touch them back until the next day to check the situation.
At this time, the two of them are very hungry, and hope that they can find familiar adults in the village or get something to eat.
But when the two arrived in the village, only a gray and black ruin remained.
The houses and buildings seemed to have been deliberately destroyed and set fire to prepare to burn. Fortunately, it rained yesterday and only a small part was burned, most of which remained.
The two walked in the squishy mud after the rain, searching for possible figures or food.
But unfortunately, the village was raided thoroughly, and nothing good was left. Finally, I found only the soaked soft half cassava in the corner.
"Father...." The elder brother of the two stood in front of his house, but unfortunately there was only a ruin in front of him, and there was still a little blood on the crossbar somewhere on the ground.
"Will Dad be back?" The sister beside her asked innocently.
"It won't..." The brother touched his sister's head, then endured hunger, took her away, and set off toward the depths of the mountain.
——————
A few days later, the two lost their way while trekking through the mountains. Then they were attracted by a battle in the forest and sneaked closer and watched carefully.
In the mountains surrounded by woods, three orcs holding axes and long knives, surrounded a blood-covered figure in the middle, and an orc's corpse had fallen by his feet.
Roar——
The orc roared angrily, then waved the long axe in his hand, turning it into an arc-shaped afterimage, rushing directly up and down.
Blood splashes, the figure barely avoided the vitals of the body, but a large piece of flesh was also cut off from his body. But his goal was also achieved. The bone dagger in his hand slashed a long narrow hole in the front of the orc's chest, and the flesh and blood and faint bones poured out of it.
He crawled on the ground, embarrassed by the surrounding trees to avoid the attack, and then screamed and rushed up, inserting a dagger into the body of an orc, his figure looks like epilepsy, but it is so fast that it makes people feel like epilepsy. Frightened.
Under such a frantic attack, the three enemy orcs were injured one after another, but he didn't get much better. In the end, he was directly chopped by the orcs, and half of his body fell to the ground, with a strong smell of nausea in the air.
Several orcs were about to roar a few times, stepped forward to torture, to vent their unhappiness and anger, but a few of them did not take a few steps, and fell in pain in the mountains and plains, panting violently, and the corners of their mouths purple.
The two brothers and sisters watched this scene in the distance with fear, until all of them died one by one, no longer breathing.
After elder brother instructed his sister, he covered his nose and mouth with his clothes and walked over carefully. He knew there might be some kind of toxin here, but the two hadn't eaten for a few days, and they couldn't support it.
He tremblingly stepped over the corpses and touched the orc's waist, trying to search for possible rations.
At this moment, a hand suddenly grabbed his ankle.
He screamed tremblingly, struggling to run away, and his wrist was not as strong as he thought, and he was broken free all at once.
At this moment, he turned around and looked back and saw the man who was only half left. He leaned on the tree trunk and looked at the boy with a hard and relieved smile on his face, as if his life had been redeemed.
Is he still alive, the boy thought.
Shaking, as if using all his strength, he raised his hand and waved to the boy.
The boy hesitated, then slowly walked over, squatting in front of the man to see what his last words were.
One hand was on his wrist, and then a piercing pain came into the boy's mind. He broke free of the man's wrist again, and this time the man finally fell to the ground and closed his eyes.
Looking at this scene, the boy took a few steps back in disbelief, then looked at the faint red magic in the palm of his hand.
As long as the magic power flows through the body, it will cause a burst of pain, but at the same time, the power is so clear that it makes people aware of the traces of life.
He seemed to understand something. He squatted down again, picked up the dagger beside the man, and walked back with some safe dry food.
——————
Sister Senna looked at her brother's back with some curiosity. Recently, he seemed to be hiding from himself and doing other things.
Now the two have fled to another remote village, and they have settled down temporarily.
Time passed, and another two years passed.
In the past two years, there have been fewer and fewer villages in which humans live, and it has become more and more difficult. Many humans from other places have also fled to this small place deep in the mountain.
Faced with this situation, the adults in the village began to quarrel.
Some people say that so many people should not be accepted, as long as we live peacefully, why take the risk to control other people.
Some people also say that more strength is always good, but it is also safer.
This kind of argument until one day the orcs reappeared not far from the village. Everyone knew that it would be useless to talk about it at this time. They could only actively prepare for the battle, because afterwards, there are towering mountains of sighs, and they have nowhere to go. retreat.
The battle started hard, and many people died, but under the leadership of some of them, they also achieved considerable results. The orcs who followed were killed in the mountain col.
The joy of winning did not last long, and another group of orcs came over.
Under such pressure, more and more people in the village learned that special extraordinary power, and the younger sister also discovered the secret of the older brother.
"You are using that kind of power too, brother." Senna looked at her mature brother.
"Yes." This time the other party readily admitted.
"But I heard that anyone who practices that kind of extraordinary sequence basically won't live for a few years..." My sister looked at the somewhat unfamiliar brother in front of her. He seemed taller and colder.
"So what? Isn't it a cost-effective thing to trade life for strength, my naive sister." This brother no longer feels like taking care of his sister as he used to.
"But...but..." My sister tried to say something, but couldn't speak.
"But...I think my brother can live longer and die....I don't want to see..." a little bit of crying came into his voice.
"Ha...You are the same as before..." The brother bent down and touched his sister's head with the bandaged palm.
"But if you think so, it won't work." His tone eased slightly.
"Sacrifice is inevitable, even necessary. I don't regret using this power...at least it makes me feel alive." The once blue pupils have now become blood red, but And extremely gentle.
After speaking, the brother turned and left, and the training was about to begin again, and today more people will join them to use this power called the devil.
The pain enters the bone marrow, like a knife cutting the body, the uninhibited and aggressive magic power flows through the body, which brings not only physical pain, but also mental torture day and night. Its existence is definitely not happiness, but such a special power, like a sharp knife and highly poisonous, makes life full of struggling barbs and cuts those enemies who are trying to invade.
When being driven to the end by the enemy, some humans chose to fight to the death. As a result, the demon sequence gradually entered the eyes of the world.
This peculiar and extraordinary sequence has various severe side effects in the early stage. Almost all practitioners live short, ranging from a few months to a few years at most, and they will die in organ and internal organ failure. But more people have not reached the limit of their bodies, and in this painful torture, they have become crazy and mentally disordered.
A few years later, a woman of about 20 years old stood in front of a mound and planted a small sapling on the mound.
There is still a light rain in the sky, it seems to be the same as when she was a child many years ago, but now she is alone.
Looking at the land where the elder brother was buried in silence, the grown-up sister turned and left, her soft long hair slowly drifting in the air.
As she left, several messengers in red followed suit and walked hurriedly in the drizzle.
"Master Sena, we are the messengers from the Royal Court of True Red. We invite you to the Curare Valley in the north, where there is the same noble existence as you."
"Same?" The woman looked at the gloomy sky. She has no relatives now.
"Yes, it is also called the existence of a witch. In fact, you are more noble than anyone thought." The apostle replied respectfully.
"How can I go there, hold a group for warmth? I'm not the kind of fragile person." Senna, who is now awakened, is much stronger than her brother.
"No, we will unite together and use this bright red magic to open up a brand new path." The apostle's tone was so sincere and close to madness.
At the end of the First Era, an organization called the True Red Royal Court emerged among humans. They all practiced the existence of demon sequences, and in the frenzied killing of this group of people, a nation was finally established precariously.
This is also the first human kingdom, the True Red Empire.
The little girl named Sena also changed her name and became the witch of the purple moon, Selena.
————————
Time passed quickly, and the true red empire that had been established for hundreds of years was slowly prospering, and the number of human beings also increased to nearly 100 million. And this was finally no longer tolerated by the orcs, and even the mighty elven kingdom was a little fidgety.
The war broke out again.
In the chaos of blood and fire, several great witches of the True Red Empire were killed, and Selene escaped with a few people.
A hut in a canyon somewhere.
"Hedis, come, this is Sister Selene." A gentle and mature woman greeted the people on the side with a small figure.
"Hello Sister Selene." Hedis's black eyes looked at the elegant witch timidly.
"How are you." Selene squatted down and looked at the little girl lovingly. Is this her new junior and family? It's so cute.
"I will grow up well in the future." She hugged the little girl in her arms and warmed her nervous and restless heart with her body, allowing her to slowly settle down.
————
Time passed quickly, and the little girl in the past also grew up and became a majestic girl.
Selene and Hetis were on the hillside side by side, and the two talked slowly.
"How does Sister Selene think about the dead, I feel that many people are afraid and hate me." Hedis confided in her recent troubles. Those pairs of guard and cold eyes made her a little uncomfortable.
"I think it's great, very good." Selene took hold of Hadith's wrist.
"They only grow up in a stable environment, and they have not experienced some cruel and difficult times to survive, so they are so naive and puzzled."
"Strength is the foundation of any happiness. To escape from ambiguity, to immerse yourself in the beauty of fiction and fantasy is not the road to happiness."
"Maybe for a short while, but when you wake up, you will get a lot of nothingness and regret, and then bow down before reality again."
"So, even if this power is painful and dirty, I hope you can hold it tightly."
"Because of its existence, it finally made me feel at ease~IndoMTL.com~ and reached the real other side."
"Even if it will kill countless people, wipe out their dignity, and be hated by countless people?" Hedis stopped and looked at the elder beside her.
"Yes."
"You are already an adult, Hadith. Since you are advancing on the ideal path, you must have the consciousness to accept the consequences. When others say a few words, they will be shaken and don’t want any stains. This is It’s a scene in a dream."
"Some great ideals are destined to sacrifice some, even tens of millions of lives."
"On this basis, we can open up the future in the dark."
The two of them slowly stopped at the top of the hill, looking at the vast wilderness under the mountain, while the banner of the wisteria crescent moon stood high and covered the mountains.
And this vast army of corpses that stretches for hundreds of kilometers across states and counties will eventually open up a new country for mankind surrounded by orcs and elves.
