Chapter 217 The Secret Ceremony Among Girls (Part 1)
After experiencing the initial joy of hearing the news, the girl calmed down again.
In fact, no one on this island can actually reach that cliff, not even the only fifth-level lord in the entire port city.
Therefore, she could not confirm whether the old man's words were true or not.
In this closed port city, the residents living in this closed port city are very conservative and exclusive.
Because of her unusual hair and eye color, as well as her slightly strange dreams, the girl is often isolated and ostracized by her peers on the island.
They called her a wild child, a bastard, a monster, threw stones at her, tore her clothes, poured dirty water on her, and frightened her with snakes they caught in the sea.
Until one day, a real explorer from the outside world arrived on the island.
He drove away the kids of the same age who bullied the girl, and told the curious girl about the outside world.
Then, the explorer left, and the girl never saw him again.
But on the evening when she met the explorer, the children bullied her even more.
They vented their grievances driven away by the explorers on the girl, punched and kicked her, and regardless of her violent struggle and resistance, they tied her up with a rope they picked up and threw her into the building that was said to be haunted by ghosts.
Among building ruins.
Many people had disappeared in the ruins area that suddenly appeared. The adults on the island classified it as a forbidden area and avoided them like snakes and scorpions.
Even if she could really break free of the rope, night had fallen on the island. No one dared to walk on the streets at night, so she could only choose to spend the night in that haunted house.
The cold night wind blew through the dark rocks of the ruins. The tightly tied girl only had a torn and dirty dress on her body.
She was very cold, very hungry, and her whole body ached. The surrounding darkness seemed to be alive, gradually engulfing the girl's consciousness.
But after nightfall completely fell on the island, she suddenly saw in a hazy state that orange-red firelight suddenly appeared in the direction of the originally dark house in the center of the ruins.
And when she woke up again, she was already in this gorgeous big house.
Nothing in the room would change. She had tried moving some of the furniture around the room and even breaking the vases, but over time they would eventually fall back into place.
Lorna thought she was dead, but when she saw the familiar island environment outside the window, she realized that she was staying in this world in a new way of existence.
Perhaps due to her obsession, she found that she no longer felt cold and hungry, and had the ability to change her clothes and make items float with her thoughts.
However, the house had a strange power that prevented her from leaving the ruins.
In a corner of the ruins, Lorna found her drift bottle.
The children who bullied her also threw her bottle into the rubble. Fortunately, it fell into a clump of weeds and was not broken.
Unable to leave, the girl had to live alone in this house.
From the initial loneliness, I gradually adapted to it.
The only pleasure every day is to observe the people passing by outside the ruins.
But gradually, she began to notice something unusual about this port city.
Scenes of endless loops, reincarnations that restart every night of the full moon...
Moreover, she could not remember who her family was. There was a complete blank in her memory.
Occasionally, people would enter here by mistake, and Lorna also discovered another ability of hers: she could see the invisible halo of these outsiders.
If you stay in this house for too long, this halo will slowly turn black. The transformation speed is determined by the brightness, and the brightness of the halo is related to the strength of the outsider.
But when this 'light' turns into a dark color like midnight, outsiders can no longer leave.
For some reason, those weaker outsiders would run away in fear when they saw her, while those powerful outsiders would directly attack her upon meeting her.
They called her a monster.
Even after she died, she could not get rid of this title.
After several terrifying experiences in which her consciousness fell into darkness, when she encountered a powerful outsider again, she would carefully hide in the fireplace, hoping not to be discovered.
This time has lasted for so long that even Lorna herself couldn't remember how long it was. Until a few days ago, a half-elf girl with the faintest halo she had ever seen suddenly broke into her life.
…
She doesn't look very smart, has no sense of danger, and has no idea how she grew to be so big.
He completely ignored her warning and even fell asleep in front of her without any precautions.
Unlike other outsiders before, the girl had no fear of her sitting in front of the window, and would even take the trouble to try to chat with her.
It's just that she often says some words that are difficult to understand. What about 'NPC', 'mission', 'dungeon', 'dog plan', etc... The last one is probably some kind of special kind of alienated Warcraft?
In the following time, Lorna further confirmed her judgment.
He would regard her as an ordinary girl who was trapped by the erosion of the ruins just like him. He would even look at her with sympathy and tell her what he saw during the day every day.
For her who had only been with him for a few days, he would act like a fool and stand in front of that powerful outsider's attack, even though his own body was already trembling to the point of being unable to stand.
Even after learning her true identity, he still calls her a friend, not a monster.
The girl was like a ray of light, illuminating her originally gloomy life.
So, Lorna wanted to give her something in return.
She remembered the half-elf girl's favorite thing.
Vivian once told her that it seemed to be called 'mission reward'?
"...Everything here is immovable."
"Vivian, I'm glad to meet you."
"I know, it is very ordinary and cannot be compared with your other 'task rewards'."
In front of her, looking at the surprised look in Xia Ye Yinghuo's light green eyes, Lona's eyes slowly lowered, seeming to feel a little lost.
"But, I only have this, I can give you..."
"No, Lorna, I love your gift!"
Aroused with overflowing sympathy, Xia Ye Yinghuo couldn't help but suddenly hugged Lona, burying her light body in his warm embrace.
The latter's small body trembled suddenly, and then quickly broke away from the girl's arms.
At this moment, the health value on the half-elf girl's panel instantly dropped a lot.
"do not touch!"
Looking at the summer night fireflies whose halo suddenly dimmed with some distress, the dark-eyed girl shrank back.
"Sorry to bother you two."
At the same time, Anvis brought Jom back here.
"So, Miss Traveler, let me ask you one last time, do you really hope that you can get her out of here?"
After sizing up Xia Ye Yinghuo's arms, which had been adjusted up by 20%, Avis faced Xia Ye Yinghuo and finally confirmed in a serious tone.
"Yes, Avis, is there anything you can do?"
Looking at Luo Na beside him, Xia Ye Yinghuo nodded with great certainty.
"Don't worry."
Anvis smiled and turned to Lorna who was standing aside.
"So, what about you? Are you willing to follow her and leave here?"
The little girl with dark eyes also looked at the summer night fireflies and nodded vigorously.
