Chapter 48: Can we become friends after just one minute of acquaintance?
"Wow, wow, you, you, you, who are you!?"
Metien was startled by the crimson eyes, and took several steps back. The heel of his shoe stepped on a small stone in the pile of leaves, and he almost fell to the ground.
No wonder she reacted so violently, after all, not everyone can watch a strange little girl suddenly appear in front of them and still remain calm.
That's right, little girl.
A delicate-looking little girl who looks like a doll, but wears leather armor, shorts and riding boots. She wears a crimson rose-like cloak and an equally crimson hood. She is dressed like a veteran in the jungle.
The hunter also wears a star-shaped crystal dagger and a silver hand crossbow engraved with gorgeous patterns on his waist respectively. His hands are clasped in front of his chest, and a dangerous cold light can be glimpsed under the deep cuffs.
From the appearance, she is about the same age as Merdine, and even the height is very close. Her short silver hair exposed from under the hood looks a bit messy, as if it has not been taken care of for a long time, but it still has a smooth and smooth look.
The texture is like flowing cold moonlight; the crimson vertical boy is like a gem and a flame. He is looking at the panicked Metien with a calm, distant and slightly curious look, just like in the old streets.
The cat squatted on the wall, sizing up strangers passing by.
Different from those cats, her posture is not squatting on the wall, but hooking a branch with her legs, hanging upside down on the tree like a little bat. Coincidentally, there is indeed a pair of gray bat wings behind her.
It was fluttering, and it was not on the back, but on the back of the waist (by the way, although she was hanging upside down, the cloak and hood were close to the body and the body in a posture that violated the laws of mechanics.
The head does not hang down, even if the bat wings on the waist are put aside, it is visually very impactful).
"Suck, vampire!?"
Metien was even more panicked when he saw the pair of gray bat wings, and his mind suddenly recalled Miss Fialli from Linwell City. Although she was not a real vampire, she still showed her madness to the people at that time.
The pink-haired little girl left very unfriendly memories.
However, even without this memory, Merdine's impression of vampires would not be very good. After all, many familiar folk tales or rural legends have always liked to describe vampires as beings that like to eat human blood, are evil and cold-blooded
A monster. Although this image is just conjecture, we may be able to find some similarities with real vampires.
"Well, I'm a vampire." The little girl hanging on the tree blinked: "So, you are a human?"
She seems to have no intention of attacking.
Perhaps, not all vampires are evil and cruel monsters?
Metien stopped retreating unknowingly, hesitated, and then nodded slightly.
"It's so rare."
The little girl on the tree said, obviously she was surprised, but she said it in a calm tone, but it didn't mean she was surprised at all. It was more like a simple statement: "I haven't seen humans near the swamp for a long time." p>
As she said that, she turned her head and looked through the various plants growing luxuriantly in the valley to see the huge island hidden deep in the branches and leaves, and asked: "Did you raise that whale?"<
/p>
"Uh."
This question was very complicated, and Merdine didn't know how to answer it accurately. She thought about it distressedly for a while, and finally whispered: "Actually, that's just an island, not a real whale."
"Oh." The little girl looked back: "Sorry, I haven't seen a real whale, so I don't know."
"No need to apologize."
This apology made Merdine believe that she was indeed not an evil vampire, but a little girl of a similar age to herself, so the fear completely disappeared, and she said a friendly hello: "Hello, I
My name is Metien, can you tell me your name?"
Her expectant and anxious eyes made the other party silent for a moment. Just when Medien was reflecting on whether his change of attitude was too abrupt, he heard a low but clear voice: "Leticia." "My name is -" she said seriously: "Letitia V. García Garhild."
Metien opened his mouth wide: "Okay, okay...what an amazing name!"
It sounds like a sentiment with no meaning. After all, there is nothing impressive about this name alone. So what the pink-haired little girl wanted to say at first was "What a long name", but after thinking about it,
Not very polite, he changed his words abruptly as soon as he said it.
The little vampire girl on the tree seemed to take it seriously. She nodded calmly and accepted her compliments correctly: "Thank you."
"Uh, hahaha, no, you're welcome." Metien laughed dryly and quickly changed the subject to cover up his embarrassment: "Leticia, why are you here? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the people from the Balance of Order?
?"
Vampires, cunning and forbearing aliens, are the key targets of those silver rabid dogs.
"I have experience, so I'm not afraid." Leticia replied, her eyes sweeping over Xie Mi and Little Yang who were still arguing not far away. The argument between them had gradually evolved from "who stole whose bow?" to "who stole whose bow?"
"Are you disturbing someone's nap?" She seemed to have no intention of stopping in a short period of time. She frowned her crescent-shaped eyebrows imperceptibly: "You are also in danger here."
"It doesn't matter." Metien said: "This is not very far from Sky Island. If I find someone from the Balance of Order appearing, I will run back immediately and I won't be caught by them."
She can even cover the retreat of Xie Mi and Little Sun. After all, she is a human and has never learned magic. The people of the Order Balance have no reason to attack her.
Leticia shook her head: "I'm not talking about the Balance of Order, but about this place - the Great Swamp. There are many aliens who are full of hatred for humans. Don't get close to them."
This should be a kind reminder, right? But she said it naturally, but it gave Medien a complicated feeling, as if she was not talking to a new friend she had just met, but to Ringer. She smiled and said : "It doesn't matter, Xie Mi is with me."
Xie Mi is a traveler fairy, and it is easy to win the favor of animals, plants and other alien species. With her following, there is basically no need to worry about conflicts with the indigenous people of this swamp - although she is currently in fierce conflict with Little Sun.
Leticia didn't know who Semi was, but she could hear the sincere trust in Metien's tone, so she didn't persuade her. She raised her head and glanced up. In the fresh water vapor after the rain, the sun reflected brilliantly, turning the blue sky It was dyed with a halo that resembled a lake. On a leaf of a pale tree, water droplets with transparent edges were slowly sliding down along the veins. When it dripped to the ground and blended into the soil silently, the girl suddenly spoke. Said: "It's time for me to go."
"Eh?" Metien was not expecting it and subconsciously asked: "Where are you going?"
"Looking for my grandma, I want to remind her of something." As she said that, Leticia glanced at Metien under the tree: "Recently, some very strange guys have come to the swamp and are trying to unite the aliens. Together. They are very dangerous. You have to be careful and remind your companions to be careful."
"Ah? Oh, oh!" Metien agreed.
Leticia said no more. She raised her hand gently and lifted her crimson cloak. Medien's eyes blurred and she couldn't see anything clearly. When she reacted, the girl on the tree had disappeared. She He quickly looked up, and through the canopy of the old tree, he saw a petite figure flying away with bat wings, gradually disappearing from the blue sky, and disappearing completely after about half a minute.
A friend I just met not long ago left like this?
Although this encounter turned out to be inexplicable later on, Medien still cherished her friends, so she felt a little disappointed at the moment. There were obviously many things she wanted to ask, but in the end she only knew her name.
It wasn't until Xie Mi and Little Yang, who were tired of the quarrel and had temporarily called a truce, came over to ask her what was wrong that the little pink-haired girl finally came to her senses. After a moment of hesitation, she shook her head and said it was nothing.
It's not that he deliberately concealed it, but Metien felt that it would be better to wait until Ringer came back to talk about this matter. Maybe it could be of some help?
What Leticia said before leaving really made people care.
