Once you escape into the wilderness, the power of human cities is no longer a threat.
Well, for Hao Ren and Lily, the old soldiers were not a threat even when they were in the city... but without them, it would still be a bit dangerous for a group of witches with limited magic power and mortal bodies.
.
After leaving the city, the witch Helen summoned the Shadow Pony. The lack of sunshine and gloomy weather did the witches a big favor. The power of the shadow was still quite strong even during the day, allowing them to get away from the city's control in the shortest possible time and escape.
The possible spy of the exorcist of the church. After half a day of galloping, everyone returned to the witch's stronghold here: the Fog Cemetery as the sun set.
This thick fog that never dissipates seems to be a striking anomaly, but in fact, without the magical guidance of the witches, ordinary people will never be able to get close to the edge of the fog, at least until the witchers find this place.
This cemetery is quite safe as a stronghold.
Mrs. Mary decided to rest in this stronghold for a while before leaving this place: the lost casting materials and mental power needed to be replenished.
Well, until now they haven't realized that their gorgeous rescue operation was actually a trick. Hesiana is a person who understands the overall situation. Although she cursed the witches when they first appeared, she ran away.
At this time, she remained quiet. At this time, the witches were stopping to rest, and she found a place where the old god sat on the ground, sullenly waiting for the first unlucky person who came over to find trouble.
"Are you okay?" After Hao Ren dismounted, he ignored Hesiana for the time being and came to Lily's side immediately, "Were you hit by a musket just now?"
There were several small holes in Lily's dress, and blood stains were scattered on the skirt. But other than that, she was still quite energetic. After hearing Hao Ren's concern, the husky girl shook her arms vigorously to prove her health.
: "Aha, no problem at all! It's just a matchlock gun. It's not at the same level as the guns of later generations. I'm not afraid of it!"
After finishing speaking, she wrinkled her nose: "But it still hurts... Landlord, you really didn't lie. My body's combat power is a bit weak now. Several matchlock guns were able to break through the defense, and I was able to swing it before."
Even after swinging around such a light city gate twice, I still feel my arms are sore... I’m so nervous about my physical fitness.”
Hao Ren: "..."
This physical fitness is astonishing enough, isn't it?
Lily checked her clothes to make sure there was no risk of being exposed before she looked up in Hesiana's direction. Then she tugged on Hao Ren's sleeve: "Landlady, the little bat spirit doesn't look very happy..."
Hao Ren curled his lips: "Nonsense, don't tease her at this time, she's on fire."
As if to confirm Hao Ren's words, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Mrs. Mary walking directly towards the little bat spirit. The middle-aged witch seemed not to notice the gloomy expression on the latter's face at all, or took it as someone.
This kind of "cold temperament" must be possessed by big figures from large organizations: "In the name of black magic, it is my greatest honor to meet the messenger from the City of Shadows. I am..."
"idiot."
Mrs. Mary didn't react for a moment: "...Huh?"
"I said you are all idiots!" Hesiana's voice suddenly raised at least an octave, "Do you know what you have done?!"
"Lady Hesiana, I don't know what you mean..." The witches were completely confused, and Mrs. Mary was even more confused, "Let's save..."
Hesiana took a deep breath, followed by a storm: "Who told you that I needed someone to save me?! Who told you that I was caught?! I don't even know you, okay! You guys
Just come out and rob the execution ground of xx! Rob the execution ground of xx! If you want to get close to me, couldn't you choose a better time! Didn't you even notice that I winked at you on the execution ground?
!You bunch of xx whose brains were burned out by magic potion!"
Not to mention that the witches were confused, even Hao Ren couldn't help but be shocked again: the little bat spirit he knew was a quite majestic matriarch, although his personality was out of the ordinary among vampires.
But at least he is still a little reserved, but the six-hundred-year-old version in front of him can only be described as crumbling. This endless scolding ability can only remind Hao Ren of one thing: this naughty kid is indeed a long-term
The lack of maternal love has distorted even the character...
"Okay, okay, you should take a break first. Do you know that swearing too hard can easily lead to pneumonia?" Seeing that the little bat spirit showed no mercy to anyone, Hao Ren finally couldn't help but said, "No matter what you say about me,
He also had good intentions and risked his life to 'rescue' you. Even if he does bad things with good intentions, don't you think you should be politely moved?"
"But they ruined a big thing!" Hesiana stared, but she took a breath and said, "Okay, I'm quite touched, no matter what these witches are trying to do, they are really working hard, City of Shadows
I will never forget this.”
This is what Mrs. Mary was waiting for, so as soon as this sentence came out, the expressions of the witches, including her, immediately changed from gloomy to clear, as if all the unfounded accusations they had suffered before had disappeared: In this precarious era, what can be obtained?
A glimmer of protection is enough for them to be willing to endure all unfairness.
"Then can you tell me what happened?" Hao Ren looked at Hesiana, "I know you couldn't have been caught by humans."
Several witches around also looked over curiously. After the "storm" just now, they finally knew that they had made a mistake. Naturally, they were full of doubts about the actions of this "shadow ambassador".
Even the wizard Barn, who had never spoken in the corner, came closer curiously.
"You have to first tell me who you are," Hesiana looked at Hao Ren without giving in, looking fearless. "Why do you know Lady Vivian's name? Are you and her the same person?"
What does it have to do with it, and how do you know that I am... or something like that?"
"She and I are friends, best friends," Hao Ren said as he thought about how to quickly and effectively establish enough trust with this little bat spirit, and preferably also establish a little dignity. If he faced six hundred years
This may be difficult for the little bat spirit in the future, but at this moment he has the advantage of asymmetric information, and more importantly, the little bat spirit at this time does not have the stubborn bad impression of him that he will have six hundred years later, so there is
It was very feasible, "If my estimate of coming here to find her is correct, she should still be sleeping at this time, or she has just woken up, and I have something to do with her. But it was an accident to meet you."
"Really..." Hesiana looked at Hao Ren suspiciously. It seemed that it was not that easy for her to believe a "stranger". "Then how do you prove that you are familiar with Lady Vivian? Not even me.
I know she still has a friend like you."
"Nonsense, how many times can you meet Vivian in a century?" Hao Ren revealed the truth mercilessly, "Has she been avoiding you again in the past few hundred years?"
Hesiana was hit at a painful point and could not speak even though she opened her mouth, but there was a faint look of grievance in her eyes.
Although she was an adult at this time, her character was obviously not as mature and calm as she would be six hundred years later.
"Hey, don't be like this, I just said it casually," Hao Ren said quickly, "To be honest, sometimes I also advise her not to avoid you all the time. People who don't know think there is a conflict between you two.
…”
Hesiana pursed her lips: "Ms. Vivian really doesn't like me."
"That's not true." Hao Ren knew that this had always been a worry for the little bat spirit, and she had always thought so until hundreds of years later, so he defended Vivian a few words, "She was mainly worried about her bad luck.
The halo of luck drags you down, so I don’t want you to be with me all the time..."
Hesiana frowned and looked Hao Ren up and down. After this conversation, she felt that the stranger in front of her must indeed have a good relationship with Vivian, or at least know her well, but this still did not give her complete trust:
"These things you mentioned are indeed unknown to most people, but if you are willing, you can investigate them. You need to have stronger evidence to prove that you and Lady Vivian are friends."
Hao Ren thought about it seriously and found that it was really difficult to find such evidence:
The Vivian he knew was Vivian six hundred years later, and his understanding of the latter was entirely based on that time period. He could tell a lot about Vivian's characteristics and habits, but these things could not
As irrefutable evidence, if he forcibly fabricates a story that he and Vivian knew each other centuries ago, there is a high chance that it will be directly exposed by Hesiana. There are also some items in his personal space that Vivian has used.
Items, such as mobile phones, do have the breath left by the other party on them. However, Hesiana doesn’t recognize that thing! Just explaining the origin of things that are beyond the times is a huge trouble. Hessiana can’t compare to the short-sighted Lily.
no the same!
And just when Hao Ren was thinking hard, a flash of light suddenly flashed across his mind.
He suddenly remembered that he did have something that definitely had the aura of Vivian, and there was no need to explain the historical background at all!
There is a little bat in his portable space...
Hao Ren had actually completely forgotten the existence of this little bat before. If the situation hadn't come to this point, he would probably let the little guy sleep soundly in his portable space forever: That was Vivian during a certain operation
It was specially made and given to him to keep in case of accidents, so that the little bat could be used as the coordinates of Vivian's return or the basis for her rebirth. However, after the incident ended safely, the little bat was not put to use, and it was used by Hao Ren.
Forgot it in my own personal space.
If Hao Ren never thought about it, it might even have been silently cultivated into Hesiana II...
"Does this prove it?" Hao Ren opened the portable space and found the little bat that was always sleeping. "Vivian gave it to me because she is often forgetful and sometimes even forgets the names of old friends.
, so I kept this as a token.”
The little bat dangled in Hao Ren's hand and finally woke up from its long sleep. It slowly squirmed twice, hugged Hao Ren's finger and stopped moving.
Because Vivian's body is sleeping, this little bat as a clone only has the most basic intelligence, and its mobility is particularly low.
Hesiana stared dumbfounded at the little bat Hao Ren took out. This time she finally completely believed the words of the strange man in front of her...
