"Foreigners, this is a matter for Riverdale City!"
Before Woody got off the carriage, this appearance had obviously frightened the group of guards who were chasing after them on horseback. However, the leader still suppressed his fear of the spell caster and held back.
Said head hard.
Obviously he wanted to use Riverdale City's name to make Woody afraid. In the car, Cecil heard this and replied with interest.
"It was before, but not anymore."
Her voice is extremely resolute, and with the blessing of "Magic Sound", even if it does not appear, Cecil's voice can be like a ghost everywhere in the open field, making people clearly understand the unique arrogant voice of the caster.
It comes into mind, and there is a hint of coldness and bitterness in the high-pitched voice, which makes people not think it is a joke at all.
"Go back and tell your city lord that this little girl belongs to me and is under the protection of Cecil Caroline Fisher. If you want her, you must come and talk to me in person."
"No, what we received..." This group of guards obviously couldn't agree, especially with the meritorious service they were about to receive. Now they were watching the cloaked girl Shi Shiran, whom they had been chasing for several days, board the carriage, not to mention how uncomfortable they felt.
But as soon as the noise started, the omnipresent voice directly interrupted their words.
"Then you want to start a war with me!?"
"Um?"
Suddenly, the entire wilderness became quiet, with only the sound of waves rolling up when the wind blew through the grass, but at this moment it was like the call of death.
No one dared to question it, because they had already felt the atmosphere in the air, and they did not even dare to move, as if the slightest movement would detonate the explosive barrel.
"Then I'll take it as your consent!"
"In that case, let's take the words back."
As the voice spoke, the sound of horse hooves tapping could be heard in the air, they were about to leave.
Facing the extremely powerful spell caster, these guards did not even dare to resist. They only dared to lower their heads. After the sound of horse hooves disappeared among the boulders, they dared to look at each other and then quickly left the place.
…
At this time, in the galloping carriage, the little girl Tesia who had just been rescued was clinging tightly to the tabby cat transformed by the bronze dragon Duni. Oh no, to be precise, it was the tabby cat that was rubbing against this human girl.
, did not hide his love for her at all.
Woody didn't know what to say for a moment. As for Cecil, she was busy arranging various protective spells and counter spells. As a qualified and regular student who graduated from the Mage Tower, she knew clearly that the decision of the spellcaster must be made
After going to war with another force, you must guard against the other party's various methods.
Such as "Counter Spell" for prophecy spells, "Eye of True Sight" for invisible assassins, "Chain Accident Spell" and "Trigger Spell" for sudden attacks and various unexpected events.
These all take a lot of time and effort, so although Cecil has many questions to ask, she can only arrange them first. The priority is still clear in her mind, especially after these two days.
After two consecutive incidents, she was by no means careless about her own safety.
However, Cecil did not speak, but Tecia, who got on the bus first, took the initiative to ask.
"Have you been staring at me this whole time?"
The little girl's eyes were full of vigilance, and her hands were tightly holding the brown amulet, which was not much bigger than her palm, and she did not dare to let go for a moment.
"No, we have no way to leave, so we came to find you."
"As for the whereabouts, my demon pet told me."
"You are not difficult to find, and we are not the guards of River Valley City."
Woody's eyes were quite helpless, but as a player, he was well-informed and quite understood Tesia's mentality.
But this is okay, Woody feels that telling this reason will definitely ease the relationship between Tecia and them.
After Woody said what he said, Tecia's face suddenly froze, and she immediately denied it.
"This is impossible!"
"The gray fog will never involve any outsiders, and it will never spread to the outside world."
"He told me so!"
…
Realizing that she had said something wrong, Tesia immediately covered her mouth, looking a little panicked.
"he?"
Although Woody knew that there must be someone behind Tecia, such secrets could also be confirmed, and his identity was obviously very unusual. However, it was not about this person right now. His top priority was to make Tecia believe in them first.
So he said without hesitation.
"Although you may not believe it, I will take you there and you will know."
With that said, the magic servant of the carriage turned around and galloped towards the nearest border.
The fog is surrounded along the border of the Golden River Valley, so as long as you keep walking away from the river valley, you will soon see the end.
"See, this is where you said the fog will never set foot."
When Tecia listened to Woody's words and opened the car curtain, she saw the gray mist wrapped around the forest or rocks under the dark night starry sky and swaying in the wind. Having passed through it more than once, she naturally knew that,
Woody didn't lie to her.
So, she fell silent, and after a while, she spoke in a low tone, with a look of disappointment on her face.
"I'm sorry, this is the first time. I don't know why it's like this."
At this time, Cecil, who had been preparing measures, finally raised her slightly sore head. At this time, her white hands were resting on the table with her elbows, as steady as a rock, while her ten fingers were like butterflies.
They rubbed each other's sore and swollen parts, but it still didn't stop her from speaking solemnly.
"You shouldn't be the one to say sorry, and I just want to know how we can leave now."
"Listen to Woody, you have a way to leave the gray fog. Can you take us away?"
She has always been more purposeful and speaks more directly.
But when she said this, in addition to staring at Tesia, she also used her peripheral vision to look at the mantra barrier state she had just set up. This is a small lie detection circle, which is very useful.
However, Tecia could not feel any disgust after hearing this. Instead, she felt that the sister in front of her who seemed to be a noble was very cool. However, she could only show an embarrassed expression regarding Cecil's answer.
"I don't know. I used the magic talisman to leave the gray mist, but it can only let one person out, and I'm not sure whether others can use it. I was in Huangshi Town before, and Lily originally wanted to come with me.
, I was holding hands with her, but in the end she was still separated. Only Jon was still with me, but I left it behind before. I'm sorry for it, I'm sorry for Lily, and my mother..."
The more Tecia talked about it, the sadder she became. She was eleven or twelve years old and was still under the protection of her parents. The two days of running and escaping had greatly consumed her little energy. In addition, she was being pursued one after another.
I was a little uneasy at first, but now I think about what I have experienced along the way, and the sadness of being alone in the end suddenly burst out, and I can't control myself.
"well."
Seeing Tecia like this, Cecil couldn't bear to continue asking. Moreover, she saw that the blue color of the mantra barrier did not turn red, and knew that what she said was true. She might not be able to take people away. She held the hand in her hand.
It seems to be a strange object, is it the one that can be used to travel through the gray fog?
At this time, Cecil also discovered that there was another gaze that was also looking at the wooden sign. It was Woody who was standing sideways and silent. She and he looked at each other, and the two of them immediately had a dispute in their hearts.
Everything is left unsaid.,
On the contrary, the bronze dragon Duni, who was lying next to Thesia, seemed to be infected by the lonely mood of the little girl next to her. Finally, she couldn't help it, and pulled her hands and claws on Tesia's body, relying on her legs to stand on her own.
, wanting to say something into her ear.
But just before it wanted to do this, it felt Cecil's gaze, which reminded it of its treasure that had been taken away and the "deposit" that was still in the hands of other dragons.
, in the end, Donnie could only let out an unwilling meow, which turned into a gentle purr, and then rubbed her head against Thesia's face to show comfort.
Tecia naturally didn't notice so many small movements. She felt the furry love, so she stopped crying, wiped her tears, and said very embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry, I can't help you, and I made the atmosphere very bad. You can ask whatever you want, and I'll tell you everything I know."
But what Tecia didn't expect was that the only answer she received was silence, and then she heard the sound of clothes shaking off. When she looked up, it was the sound of this noble girl getting up.
Before her pupils could shrink due to the action, she saw this noble girl stepping forward gently, revealing her bare bare feet under her robe, which also showed her her gentleness and helplessness.
She gave her a gentle hug, put her cheek against her ear, and patted her back gently.
"It's okay, Tecia, I don't want to know too much now."
"But... wow, thank you... thank you."
This soft tone and her familiar maternal brilliance made Thesia's originally suppressed tears well up again.
Cecil did not show any anger at all, and together with the tabby cat, he comforted this little girl who was busy working and experienced many hardships outside.
After a while, the sobbing gradually stopped, and Tecia, who had a few tears on her face, wiped her face randomly, trying to pretend to have recovered.
"Is this the treasure you use to protect yourself from harm?"
At this time, Cecil took the initiative to start the conversation, and Tecia, who was comforted and no longer wary, answered readily.
"Yes, without it, I would have died countless times along the way. There are wild wolves and giant pythons. The wilderness in the Golden Valley is still very dangerous."
As she spoke, she still had some lingering fear on her face.
"Can you show it to me?"
Cecil requested.
This time, Tecia hesitated for a while, but did not refuse, and readily handed the brown wooden sign to Cecil's hand.
Woody was standing behind her at some point, looking at this palm-sized wooden sign. The front was very delicate, with forests, mountains, clouds, and stars, everything not falling, all lifelike, even birds were engraved on it.
.
A very skilled craftsman, even Cecil, who is used to seeing good things, couldn't help but admire him.
But when the wooden sign was turned to the back and the logo on the back was revealed, Woody suddenly spoke out.
"Show me."
Although Cecil was confused, he still handed it over.
Woody took it and felt it was warm and cool, a little heavy, and it was a good piece of wood.
But none of this stopped him from eagerly turning over the sign. Originally, he was still speculating whether the wooden sign was related to Quetzalcoatl, but when he saw that in the lower right corner of the back of the brown wooden sign, there was a mark left by the maker.
, having the memory of his previous life, he immediately understood.
Because the brand in front of me does not come from Quetzalcoatl, but from a slightly famous miniature sculptor from River Valley City in the previous life.
"I have something to tell you."
After Woody returned the brown wooden sign, he grabbed Cecil and pointed to a single room in the carriage, which was her bedroom.
Although Cecil was a little embarrassed, the situation was urgent now, but he could only act according to urgency.
…
The two didn't talk for a long time in the bedroom, but when Woody and Cecil walked out, Tecia had already said goodbye.
"Thank you for saving me. Now I have to walk the rest of the way on my own."
She adjusted her sleeves and pinned the brown wooden sign to her waist, looking fully charged.
"I have troubled you enough. I will keep your kindness in mind and will definitely repay you in the future."
She turned her attention to Woody and Cecil. She understood that without Woody and Cecil just now, she would never have been able to escape from the guards. She was naturally grateful in her heart. She followed the steps of gratitude taught to her by her mother and told them truthfully.
But I didn't expect it to be replaced by a long sigh.
"Don't worry, Tesia."
Cecil stopped her helplessly. She knew why the helplessness on Woody's face came from, but then again, probably only people with this kind of personality are qualified to take risks outside.
"It's useless to go now."
"I know you want to leave here to avoid the trouble they come to us, but now I can't leave this valley, sooner or later I will run into them."
"But..." Tecia was a little embarrassed when Cecil said something that was on her mind, but she still wanted to say something, but was forcefully interrupted by Cecil the next moment.
"Please don't make my decision for my sake. You can leave if you want, but you really don't want to save your mother?!"
Cecil's words were loud and clear, and when she stood up and looked down, her delicate and soft face became a little more majestic.
"Of course I thought, if I could save my mother, I would give everything! But no one was willing to help me, so I could only go to the Elf Market to seek a chance. I heard that the healing potion there could cure my mother's coma."
Tecia looked at Cecil with helplessness in her eyes. Cecil looked back at a silly roe deer and said Shiranly.
"Then do you know why they are afraid of me?"
"Are you a noble person? Or are you a powerful mage?"
As a child who grew up in a small town, most of Cecil's knowledge of the outside world was limited to the old blacksmith in the village who came to live in seclusion in the town for some reason.
Children in the small town like to gather at the door of the blacksmith shop and pester him to tell stories. Tecia also likes it. And every time she listens to a story, if her mother allows, she likes to rub a freshly dug sweet potato on the blacksmith shop door.
Although the sweet potatoes roasted over extra charcoal are very hot, when you peel off the skin, you will find that they are fragrant and soft and waxy inside. That is a taste that I will never forget.
As she spoke, Tecia's mouth secreted saliva. She quickly swallowed it, and then eagerly waited for the answer of the noble girl in front of her.
"Powerful power cannot be described as a mage, because their rich resources are beyond your imagination."
"Tesia, look, what is this."
The next moment, what Cecil took out made her freeze on the spot.
A glass bottle filled with milky liquid.
Although Tecia didn't understand what was inside, she still recognized the emblem of the goddess of life.
This is the legendary medicine that can heal all pain.
——"Holy healing water!"
