After being stunned for a moment, Yuexing immediately looked around
The front, back, left and right are all trees that make people feel like they are in a dense forest. The moss is growing freely under the feet, and there is no sense that anyone has set foot there.
Subaru and Emilia are not around, they may have been transported to other places.
All the problems lie in that glowing stone
"If I had the stone in my hand, maybe I could study it..."
To briefly analyze the current situation, the teleportation warlock made of that stone is definitely not that big. Judging from Beatrice's teleportation magic,
"Assuming that the previous location is the center of the forest, then it is impossible to be teleported to the edge of the forest. In this case, as long as the direction can be confirmed, Subaru and the others can be found."
Just as he was about to walk towards the open area of the forest——
A figure suddenly appeared in front of him, his eyes facing each other
Those are a pair of emotionless eyes
"Who are you?"
He took a cautious step back, revealing the appearance of the girl in front of him.
She looks like a young girl in her early teens with long light red hair, slender eyes and a straight bridge of nose, and pale white skin that seems to fall apart if it touches it. Her height only reaches the bottom of Yuexing's chest.
, her petite body is covered with a white costume doll that looks like a headdress - that refers not only to her beauty, but also to the impression of her temperament, her emotionless eyes and expressionless face, her weak sense of presence and
Willpower doesn't look like a human being at all
There is only one feature that stands out - the girl has a pair of very long ears.
I mentioned in the previous chat that it was possible to meet fairies other than Emilia, but I didn’t expect to meet them so early.
Suddenly, the girl moved like a ghost. She turned around and took steps. Yuexing hurriedly chased after her.
The girl's footsteps were brisk, and she was flying through the dense woods. The other party was obviously familiar with the terrain here, and obstacles that appeared from time to time slowly widened the distance between them.
The moment before I followed the missing girl, my field of vision suddenly became wider.
The girl lost her trace, and what appeared in front of her was an ancient building.
It is a combination of piled stones and is a relic of extremely primitive architectural style.
Most of the exterior is covered with green vines and moss, and the slightly exposed walls are cracked.
Although the completion date is unclear, half of the building was swallowed up by the forest. If it was not covered by the forest at the beginning, the house must be no less than a hundred years old.
The ruins standing quietly in the quiet forest, is it a temple or——
"An ancient tomb?"
I approached the ruins cautiously and looked more closely as I got closer, but my impression of this stone building did not change much.
There is no human breath, no trace of artificial processing, and no appearance of being inhabited.
I listened carefully to the movement around me, but there was only an empty echo, and nothing appeared. Then I turned around and walked around the ruins——
"——There is an entrance."
Halfway around the ruins, Yuexing discovered the moss-covered stairs, stepped on them carefully to avoid slipping, and then looked into the dim space inside the opening - it should lead to the inside of the ruins, and this is the entrance.
Of course, there is no light source inside the ruins, and the passage seen from the entrance is completely dark. Even if you speak fearfully inside, you will only hear your own voice echoed back lonelyly.
That unknown girl may have something to do with this ruins
The right hand is attached to the wall to avoid getting lost in the dark. The touch is not so much that it is attached to the stone wall, but more like touching the small vines climbing randomly. It is covered by the vines to the point where it is impossible to touch the original wall passage. It is simply like touching the wall.
like the blood vessels of some creature
The only things you can hear in the darkness are your own breathing, heartbeat, and footsteps.
No light source means that vision cannot work. The cold and refreshing air even takes away the function of smell. If the spirit is strongly attached to hearing, the tactile sensation of touching the wall will be lost unconsciously.
My tongue feels scratchy, is it because there is sand or dust in the air? I can't feel the sense of taste, and the proportion of consciousness is increasingly focused on hearing. Only the sound of footsteps, heartbeat, and breathing are relied on. These are the world and myself.
connections, only these can prove that I am not in eternity——
"No, don't I have a light source?"
He laughed at his own neuroticism and immediately started to see the true meaning engraved on the bracelet.
A gentle light shines from the hand, and a corner appears in front
And at the end of the corner, there is light——
Every time you take a step, the sound of your heels echoes, creating a particularly high-pitched sound.
The moment I stepped out of the cave, the endless darkness dissipated in the blink of an eye. The supposedly colorless world was painted with bright colors, with green land under my feet and a blue sky above my head without even a cloud.
Gentle caressing the ends of the hair, everything just now was like a shadow
"Don't play in that kind of place, how about coming here?"
The voice came from behind
Looking back, it was a slightly higher hill. There was a large parasol standing on the hill. Under the shadow were a white dining table and chairs - and a girl sitting on the chair.
It was a girl who gave the impression of pure white, as if only the color on her body had fallen off.
The hair that reaches her back and the small amount of skin exposed outside the clothes are all shockingly white. Only the dark dress that wraps her thin limbs like mourning clothes and the black pupils that can reveal her high intelligence prove that the dreamlike girl is indeed
White and black exist, and extreme beauty can be expressed using just these two colors
With just one glance, anyone will be captivated by the magical beauty - but the soul has thoughts of resistance.
There is a sense of oppression in the air
"Oh, am I too rude?"
The girl narrowed her eyes, then nodded with understanding.
"Oh, that's right. Speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself yet. It's so embarrassing. Because I haven't talked to anyone for so long, I accidentally became impatient."
Different from her tone, the girl's expression remained almost unchanged and she lightly shrugged.
Then, he put his hand on his chest and said his name calmly.
"My name is Echidna"
After saying that, the girl's lips parted slightly, she smiled slightly, and then continued -
"Speaking of the name "Desire Witch", more people have heard of it, right?"
