Chapter 610 (1/1)
”Karen, you leave the fort without permission. If the great witch knew that you were absent without permission during the guard period, so that something went wrong with the fortress, did you take the responsibility? ” In the darkened Hall of the fort, the voice of a powerless woman came from above. The woman, known as Karen, flicked her hair impatiently and looked up into the space above where the candle couldn't reach. She took a deep breath, then exhaled, as if inspired, and the candlesticks around Karen began to light up one by one, and the dark hall turned bright within seconds.
And in this bright light, a thin figure became shrunk up. In terms of position, she was the one who had questioned Karen in the dark. ”Don't forget who is the manager of this fortress. It's better for those who just hide in the shadow to shut up. Otherwise, ”said Karen, removing the whip from her lap, and the heads of the three sea snakes immediately rose, threatening the shadow.
The thin man no longer spoke, quietly retreated out of the candle. Seeing this, Karen nodded with satisfaction, took back her weapon and searched the hall for what she wanted to take. She soon found them by the cold stone fireplace. They looked like some kind of iron seal with a long handle, but the pattern on the bottom was incomplete. The witch grasped all four seals on the shelf and turned her head out of the hall. And as Karen left, the candles in the hall darkened, as if some monster, who was afraid of fire and light, put them out in a hurry.
Outside the fort, the troll has returned to its original position. The poor child dragged by the witch is still in the same place. There is nothing to prove that there was any interaction between the two of them during the period when Karen was in and out, except for a very small pool of water on the ground. And even if the proud witch strode out, she would not pay special attention to the little invisible trace on the ground. Karen waves the contents of her hand to the troll in a demonstration, then stitches them together according to the pattern at the bottom.
The four seals combine to form a heartwarming Mermaid, which is quite similar to the bow of the damned lady. The witch approached the child on the ground and kicked the latter over with her foot so that his back was up. ”Feel honored. From today on, you are the property of the lost heart sorcerer.” Said Karen, mercilessly pressing the seal on the child's back. ”Oh A cloud of black smoke rose from the bottom of the seal, accompanied by a little electric light. Even though he was on the verge of death, the child still gave out a silent howl of pain beyond common sense. But the gatekeeper, who witnessed all this, did not respond. He still looked at everything in front of him with cold eyes.
The black smoke dissipated, and the ragged cloth covering the children's back completely ended their mission, revealing the ugly scars on the thin and weak back. After this cruel act, the witch happily pulled up the lasso on the child's neck and said to the mountain monster, ”now, I can take him in.”
The giant man in heavy armor lowered his body and made a gesture of ”please pass” in the sound of armor collision. Karen lifted her chin and dragged her booty into the fort. The sun was covered by the big black clouds in the sky. The sea breeze began to have a restless breath. The mountain monster raised his head rarely and looked at the direction of the sea. Tsunami, it's coming. And what was the impact of the tsunami on the child just now? Although the gatekeeper did not know exactly what the witches were collecting sea sickness patients for, they were certainly not looking to cure them.
What will the witch's fortress look like? For the child who wakes up again, this question is not important, because he is very clear about his identity in this fortress. He is just a sick chicken who sells his body to the Witch and asks for a full meal. But curiosity is also human nature. At least in the periphery of lost heart Bay, he has never seen such a neat house made of stone bricks, which sparkle faintly under the candlelight, reminiscent of the beach in the moonlight. ”It's like casting stars into a stone.” This is the description that he can think of that is most suitable for the scene in front of him.
At the same time, he also found that the hunger and pain that had been bothering him seemed to be restrained by the light reflected from these strange rocks. They still exist, but they are not as hard to accept as usual. ”This stone chamber can slow down the pain, but this slowing down is only a kind of deception. People who should starve to death will still starve to death, and those who are bitten by illness will still be swallowed up. At the end of the day, it's just a room full of deception. ” The weak girl's voice sounded from behind the candle. When the child saw there, a woman appeared. To be sure, she is not ugly. Her nose and eyes are comfortable, but her withered and weak feeling like a corpse makes people feel uncomfortable and hard to appreciate her appearance.
So the child was afraid, and he retreated in the opposite direction and quickly stuck it to the stone wall. The cold, hard touch from behind aggravated his panic. After the candlelight, the witch looked at him calmly, with a little pity in her eyes, but this kind of pity was not for human beings, but for those small animals that were about to be slaughtered. And even such pity did not last long in the witch's eyes. Her eyes soon became as cold as a doorkeeper, and she slowly opened her mouth and said, ”do you want to eat a full meal? It's a pity that there are only me and Karen here. Karen is the witch who brought you back. So, if you don't mind my cooking, follow me. ”With that, the woman gently opened the door of the stone chamber to reveal the corridor made of dark brick behind. ”Have you healed my wound?” The child summoned up his courage and asked before the witch came out of the stone room. He raised his right hand, which was covered with several white strips. It's just that the bandaging technique of the cloth is very strange at a glance, and it just can't make the wound worse. It was not just the arm that was dragged all the way back to the fort by Karen. The child's body was already covered with scars. Now, there are traces of being treated on those wounds, except for the imprint on the back, which is still faintly painful.
”You are already the property of the sorcerer. Life and death are not your own decision until the members of the sorcerer need you to die. So come on, come with me to the kitchen and pay you off, and then it's none of my business what Karen is going to do to you
”May I have your name? Ma'am. ”
The witch pauses for a few seconds, as if hesitant to tell the child her own name, but in the end she says, ”you can call me, HeLa, if you want.”
