Chapter 12 Wilderness Ruins(1/2)
After leaving the banquet, Alison returned to her lounge. She sat on a chair and looked at the red moon outside through the iron window, looking at the empty things on the ground in a trance.
When her eyes fell on the empty things on the ground, the black mark on the back of her hand began to move. Alison moved her gaze to the exposed veins on the back of her hand and reached out to pat it.
"Pa~"
The tentacles of the mark were pressed down, and she wanted to be quiet.
Just now in the restaurant, Simon and the others laughed at the witch unscrupulously. They clearly didn't take themselves seriously. The record of killing Robert and his party was actually ignored by them. Is that so simple?
For a moment, Alison wanted to kill someone violently, but considering the nature of the ghost rope's physical damage and single-target attack, she temporarily recorded it along with her previous account.
After all, thirty years to the east of the river and thirty to the west of the river, don't bully the young man into poverty. She can draw the void card. Maybe it won't take thirty years here, maybe thirty days will be enough.
So this little anger is bearable considering the fact that she was beaten and trained by the society.
As for taking off the red cloak that makes people look at her face to face, forget it, this world doesn't give her any sense of security.
As for leaving, it is not something to consider now. There are evil people everywhere here. The knight next door also has the virtue of robbing anything he encounters and killing people at the slightest resistance. People say that the village is a reflection of the entire kingdom. Alison is thinking
, is this the same in this world?
So before she reached the threshold of being a professional, Alison decided not to leave the novice village. What if she encountered someone who couldn't beat her outside and pinned her down and snatched her clothes?
Thinking of this, Alison rubbed the back of her hand and said, "Generous devil, let me draw the skill book next time. These days, only things that belong to you are safe. Foreign objects have their limits after all. You can't expect me to get out."
In Novice Village, are you relying on the Book of Destiny as a magic stick to make a living?"
"What if I run into a scoundrel who refuses to give me money while running a stall? I can't kill someone in the street just because of my divination fee, right?"
However, the black mark on the back of the hand didn't react at all. It seemed to have fallen asleep due to the pats Alison just patted.
Just when Alison was considering whether to go outside the castle and feed it some Void Spirit, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Alison turned around and said, knowing that knocking on the door might not be for giving cards.
The door opened, and it was the woman who had been snatched back by Simon. She glanced at Alison, then twisted her neck and tried to walk in. However, the person behind her grabbed her hair and threw her back into the corridor.
"You're walking so slowly!" Knight Simon reprimanded her and led the priest and Cade in. He pulled a chair from the side and sat in front of the window to examine Alison carefully.
"No matter how you look at it, you are not as powerful as Cade described." Simon Knight frowned and said to Alison.
"I am a low-key person and will not take the initiative to trouble you, as long as you don't offend me." Alison looked at Simon with blank eyes, "Otherwise, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, you will see if I
You think so."
"Woman, I heard Cade tell you what happened today, so I decided to come and see you. I didn't expect you to be so arrogant." After hearing this, Simon stood up directly and looked at Alison condescendingly, his face
His scowl could no longer be concealed, and everything Cade said to him on the way here was thrown aside by him.
"I am a noble, and the treatment I give you as a retinue is a gift, do you know?!" Simon looked at her indifferent expression and wanted to slap her, but as soon as he waved his hand, Cade, who was already panicking behind him,
He rushed forward fiercely, hugged his Lord Knight and let him go.
At this moment, he couldn't care less about dignity, because the moment he saw Simon waving, the witch was smiling.
"Miss Alison, please close the window quickly. The knight is going a little crazy because of the light of the red moon!" Cade hugged Simon and covered his mouth and said to Alison in a panic, "That's not what the knight is talking about.
What he means is that there is chaos outside and a scuffle has begun among the lords. It is a goodwill gesture for you to accept the offerings here."
"Yeah?"
Alison never lowered the corners of her raised lips, and her smile raised the faint dimples on her fair cheeks. At first glance, she looked as elegant and beautiful as when she first saw her. With her hands on the table, she even gave people a playful and cute look.
, which made the three men in the room swallow their saliva and feel a kind of commotion in their bones.
But this smile was not eye-catching. Cade just looked at it for a few seconds in shock and found that she had always maintained that smiling face, like a statue. Coupled with her cold and deep eyes without any smile, damn, this feeling
It's like a black cat smiling at itself in the corner late at night.
It's so weird.
Cade shivered and withdrew from Xuanjuan's fantasy. He looked at Alison's eyes getting colder and colder and said immediately, "Yes, that's what the Lord Knight means. There is absolutely no one outside who will give it to you."
There is no better treatment than this. If you don’t believe me, ask the pastor.”
Alison's eyes widened when she heard this, and then she saw the pastor nodding his head.
"Yes, that's right." The pastor lowered his head and did not dare to look into Alison's eyes. "You may have only seen those women we drowned in order to find witches, but there is more than just drowning outside, and we found you.
Nothing was done after that, which is enough to show our sincerity."
"I want to listen to him." Alison lowered her smile and looked at Simon. At this time, it was up to Simon to decide whether she wanted to endure it.
Simon, who was restrained, had stopped struggling for a long time. After there was an extra rope in the woman's hand, he noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere, especially the thin black mist surrounding the woman, which could not even penetrate the moonlight.
And when his eyes stopped on the rope for just a second, he felt a palpitation in his heart, as if he was about to be sent to the gallows!
Simon felt like he was sweating on his back. What Cade said was true. This witch was not simple. Unfortunately, he was not Milos and had no cursed object.
Simon sighed deeply. The knight's dignity did not allow him to be brave, but it also did not require him to do stupid things.
His cruelty is only used against the weak.
He broke away from Cade who was about to say something in his ear, pulled up the chair and sat on it.
"It is undeniable that I did have some contempt for you before, but that was before. After learning what happened during the day, I think you are qualified to replace Simba's position." Simon said while looking at the roof of the shed.
"Before? You were talking to me with your nostrils." Alison's voice revealed helplessness.
When Simon heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched, but he still lowered his head. He looked at Alison and breathed a sigh of relief. She had taken back the terrifying rope.
After getting rid of the discomfort, Simon straightened his body, and then looked at Alison with a sincere face, "You also know about the Baron Conference. In the past dynasties, the ownership of a horseshoe may have triggered a war, or even a full-scale war.
Not to mention such a big thing as changing the system, I think this incident will definitely affect us here. There is no pure land in this world until one of them wins."
"I know about this." Alison nodded, "Yesterday you said you were going to embark on a journey."
Simon's forehead jumped when he heard this, and he swore that even his lord Shalin would not talk to him like this.
Don’t knights do justice?
"What does it mean to embark on a journey? Do you think I am a robber knight who annexes other people's lands at will? Do the lords above not care about it?" Simon stared and said, "It's because the world is in chaos and they can't control it, so I want to
Attack to defend and protect yourself, this is all for the Simon Knights."
Alison nodded after hearing this, then looked at Cade who was standing aside, "Did you tell him his prophecy?"
"No, I didn't say that." Cade was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head.
"Then he is really brave." Alison said in surprise.
Simon vaguely guessed what she meant, pursed his lips and said, "You know, without your support, I might die."
"Although I have different ideas from you, as long as you don't touch my bottom line, I won't do anything to you. As for support, I will take action when necessary." Alison looked at Simon and gave him an explanation.
.
"Thank you for your approval." Simon breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, so that he could throw hard bones to her in the future.
"It's not that I approve of you, but this dirty world is full of stuff like you, and I have no choice." Alison shook her head, not caring about the knight's ugly face, "Besides, I
There is a reward for helping you."
"Say." Knight Simon lowered his head, trying not to show his ugly face, "How about I kill the woman in the corridor outside the door. She told me bad things about you before."
"It doesn't make sense to me if you kill her. If you want to kill her, you can kill her. If you want to kill her, you can kill her. Do you have a magic book?" After Alison asked, she saw Simon who raised his head with a blank face.
Magic book? Do you think I look like a magic book? Simon yelled in his heart.
"Well, forget it, I didn't expect you to have any books." Alison sighed upon seeing this, "After all, you are just a country knight."
Knight Simon clenched his fists when he heard this. What do you mean by that look of disdain? Look down on me?
He stared at Alison and asked, "You want to learn magic?"
"You have a magic book?" Alison was surprised when she heard this. What did you mean by the masked face you just made?
"It is not necessary to use a magic book to learn magic." Simon narrowed his eyes and said in gloomy words, "Our Simon Knight Territory is not without merit. At the end of the territory, there is a ruin left by an ancient wizard. It is an abandoned altar.
It is said that when the red moon is in the sky, the stone tablet will display words under the moonlight, and talented people will inherit the knowledge of witchcraft on it. The question is, do you dare to go?"
When Simon finished speaking, Cade had no reaction, but as a pastor who has lived here for more than thirty years, he was shocked.
"What do you think?" Alison's eyes lit up when she heard this. She liked this exciting place the most.
Simon looked at her and nodded, telling her the specific location and telling her that it was a no-man's land and that it would only change at night.
"Earlier, a priest went to Simon's house to explore, but he never came back." The knight said to Alison before leaving, "You decide for yourself whether to go or not."
Seeing Knight Simon leaving, Priest and Cade suddenly felt uncomfortable. They gave Alison a fake smile and hurriedly left the lounge. Alison looked at the nothingness crawling outside and shook her arms.
stood up.
At this time, in an abandoned bunker on the outskirts of Nelson, a city sixty miles away.
Milos, who was dozing, was awakened by the sound of heavy footsteps.
"Good night, Master Guide." He quickly stood up and saluted the Guide who appeared next to him, then raised his head and was slightly surprised, "Sir, you seem to have gained weight."
"Milos, I didn't expect you to have such a sweet mouth." The fat man wearing a top hat, glasses, and a slightly funny beard asked, "Didn't you notice that my face has changed?"
"Ah, what kind of destiny magic is this?" Milos also expressed his doubts.
When the fat man heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he asked in a slightly helpless tone, "Didn't you realize that I am not him?"
