Crimson Servant

Chapter 92 Emerald Scars

A green magical halo was released from the Seed of Mystery, and a strong wind blew out of it. The escaping airflow transformed into human faces. The eyes of these ghost-like human-shaped faces were shining, and they shouted majestically: "Leave it! Don't touch it! You shameful little guy!!!"

The contact ignored the obstruction of these human faces and stretched out his palm against the emerald green wind.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Her fingertips were only a fraction away from the glowing gem. She stepped back hard with her right foot and with all her strength, her fingers grabbed the gem. The thief took advantage of the situation and twisted around. His flexible body flipped lightly over the base of the roots. Like an acrobat, his feet landed one after another, his knees bent, and his movement stopped before his buttocks hit the heel.

The thief druid stretched and looked at the treasure in his hand with a satisfied smile.

The seed of confusion that left the pedestal was still filled with the faint green light that fascinated her. She liked the gemstone of the same color as her eyes, and was proud at the same time, not only because of her excellent craftsmanship.

Nora Sebas kissed the gem in her hand and waved goodbye to the garden that had lost it. She transformed into a crow and flew towards the outskirts of the emerald green mist. Tension and excitement were still beating in her veins. Even in bird form, her flying posture became a little dizzy due to excitement.

here you go! Nora!

The druid encouraged himself and flew away from the green mist surrounding the Pearl Sanctuary even more happily. She knew the patrol hours of the Maze Guards. Those stubborn old guys would definitely check every flaw in the Maze Garden. It would take at least two hours for them to notice the theft of the Maze Seed.

Two hours were enough for me to put this lovely baby back into place.

Nora Sebas flapped her wings and flew out of the canopy at the highest point of the jungle. She searched for the location of the emerald green fault. Her friend was waiting for her by the river. The crow crows happily, enjoying the joy of the wind lifting its body.

She loves it here, loves her life.

Raven landed in the woods and transformed back into the diminutive shapeshifter druid.

Nora held the Seed of Puzzle in her arms, covering the beautiful light it radiated with her arms and chest, arching her back, she called quietly toward the surrounding dark woods.

"Banxi~Banxi~"

The chill slowly fell in the night, and some frost appeared on the soil. Nora turned back warily, and the banshee appeared in front of her with a cold whine. The banshee was wearing a hazy white gauze skirt, her face half-covered by her long hair. She glanced at Nora, and lowered her head when the druid turned to look at her.

Seeing that it was her friend, Nora breathed a sigh of relief. She jumped in front of the mourning banshee, causing the banshee to take a small step back.

"Bensie, look! I got it. It's so beautiful, just like me!" Nora excitedly showed off the seed of confusion in her hand. The beautiful light in the gem made the banshee fall in love with it. She looked at the beautiful gem, then at the druid holding it, and suddenly lowered her head and nodded vigorously.

Nora giggled triumphantly and pushed the Puzzle Seed in front of the banshee.

"Hurry, dear Bansy, touch it and leave your mark. Don't forget our purpose, let it remember you, so that the Pearl Sanctuary will welcome you, my friend."

The Banshee closed her lips tightly. She looked at the gem in Nola's hand and stretched out her fingers tentatively. An icy blue halo broke into the dark green, and a hazy hallucination invaded the Banshee's brain. These hallucinations came and went as quickly as they came. The two watched as the icy blue light spot representing the banshee melted into the thick green mist and disappeared completely.

Nora happily hugged her cold body, jumped on the spot twice, and then turned into a flying bird and returned.

"Welcome, Bansy, but now I have to return the gem without anyone noticing! I will come to play with you later! Goodbye, cold Bansy."

The banshee stood in the cold woods, watching the bird that her friend had turned into disappear from sight, and she did not disappear until dozens of minutes later.

The process of returning the Seed of Enigma was smoother than Nora Sebas imagined. She eliminated all traces of her appearance and quietly released the sleep spell of the snakes before leaving. She quickly rushed back to her home, Lie back in your comfortable hammock. Carly Sebas's room was still dark. The Druid elder who adopted Nora was busy attending the elders' gathering recently. Nora was the one who caught everyone's attention and was watched at the elders' gathering. at this time.

Nora closed her eyes and fell into sleep contentedly.

…

Nora clutched her stomach. She fell to her knees, her head still dizzy. The guards took the opportunity to punch her while they were escorting her. Their knees hit the stone slab of the Pearl Sanctuary. The pain was so painful that she almost cried out. Tears come.

The elders were standing in front of him, every one of them. Nora looked for those familiar eyes among the angry eyes, and she found them. Carly was standing in a remote corner, secretly wiping her tears.

Christopher Acorn stepped out from among the druids. He was a wood elf with white beard and hair, the Archdruid, the leader of the Pearl Sanctuary, a stern and fair old guy. Christopher came to Nora Sebas carrying his long staff decorated with antlers on the top. He threw a small object and it fell in front of Nora's eyes.

Seed of Mystery, the elders discovered her stealing gems.

"Touch it with your hand, Nora Sebas."

Nora did not dare to disobey the Archdruid's order. She reached out and touched the beautiful surface of the gem, but unlike the last time, this time her heart was full of panic.

The Seed of Mystery burst out with bright magic light, and just like when it was first touched, these green thick fogs pulled Nora into the illusion. But the difference is that this time, there are no longer those faces to stop her, and there are no fragments of broken hallucinations. Nora quickly goes deep into the core, sees her own memory, steals the seed of confusion, and gives it to the Banshee Class Akane's memory. It was not the fragments of memory mixed with the tip of the iceberg in the chaos as she had imagined, but the complete and detailed meeting process between herself and Bansie.

The feeling that things were out of control shocked Nora. She never thought that things would turn out like this. She just took down the Seed of Puzzle.

Christopher's eyes were often squinted, and his eyes seemed to be hiding in the gaps, emitting an aggressive cold light.

"Carly must have told you that the Seed of Enigma will preserve the memory of those who come into contact. You must have also come into contact with it. During the gathering of elders, every Druid of the Pearl Sanctuary has the opportunity to remember the martyrs. You You have seen the shadows of those ancestors and faced those chaotic memories. You think you can hide your dirty deeds in the memories that your ancestors tried hard to preserve, right? You think your selfishness and ignorance can Working with their mercy?!”

His roar echoed through the halls.

"Why do you think we need to protect the Seed of Mystery? Why do we need to build a garden maze for it? Why do we need to arrange guards!"

"Because this is our root! Every ancestor will preserve their longing for this land to the Seed of Mystery before passing away. These nostalgia will become the power to protect the Pearl Sanctuary, and will remain for seven hundred years, even if the memory fades away , with withered bodies, their afterimages are still protecting us! Even if the Seed of Puzzle is overwhelmed, we people are still sparing no effort to protect it. We have created a base to protect the memory of chaos, and regard the Seed of Puzzle as a natural The core of the barrier. This emerald mist is the shelter of the elders and the family that protects us from generation to generation!"

"You take it off..."

Nora curled up into a small ball and sobbed as she explained: "I didn't know, I didn't know it was so important!"

Christopher responded with an even more angry scolding, "Didn't we warn you not to approach the maze! Didn't we warn you not to touch the seeds of confusion privately! Didn't the afterimages of those ancestors warn you!"

The archdruid pointed at the crying Nora and exposed her fault without mercy.

"You never took our warnings to heart, you turned a deaf ear to them, and you still went your own way! Showing off your unspeakable tricks! We never doubted our family! Nora! We regard you as our own child, Tolerate your faults! Do you really think that the stolen owners didn't notice your little tricks? It was Carly who was always behind the scenes to compensate for your losses. You didn't care about her warnings and were still complacent about your theft!"

"Your arrogance is as ugly as your youth. We blindly hoped that you would grow and change... but you made a big mistake!!!"

Christopher blushed, holding his chest and taking a deep breath.

"For the sake of an evil banshee, and for your 'friends', you put your family in danger. The memory of your ancestors has faded, gaps have formed in the wards you destroyed, and the fog that guarded the Pearl Sanctuary is dissipating. Seven hundred years of peace... if we want to re-cultivate a seed of confusion, countless of us will lose like the martyrs."

Christopher covered his head and turned to leave.

"Nora Sebas, Pearl Sanctuary is no longer your home, and we are no longer your family."

"Nora Sebas! Daughter of Kali, you are eternally banished and are never allowed to set foot on our soil."

"Guard, take her down and finish the rest. Take her loot with you."

The cries of the druid resounded in the temple, and everyone's silence made Nora Sebas fall into grief.

Before entering the darkness, the Puzzle Seed still recorded her screams.

"No! I don't want to leave! Please forgive me! Elder!!"

"Carly, please help me! Please help me!!!"

"Mother!!!"

…

She was held by the banshee, her eyes were dull and her face was pale. A dim gemstone was placed in her arms. On the back of Nora Sebas' hand, the ugly circular scar was still bleeding.

Nora was taken into Bansy's cave, refusing to communicate, like a doll that had lost its soul.

The Banshee tried every means to coax her, taking out the gifts Nora had given her, the gestures Nora had taught her, and even her own voice.

Bansy expanded her lair, leaving more than half of the space for the shapeshifter druid.

"Nora... you... my... home..." The Banshee opened her mouth carefully, recited one slight syllable at a time, and carved a simple picture out of ice in front of the Druid.

"I don't have a home anymore."

The hollow voice conveyed the inner sorrow, and Nora Sebas closed herself.

After a few months, she left.

Nora Sebas left a note for Banshee.

"I have to get out of here, Bansy. I made a mistake, and I deserve to be punished according to the elders' orders.

I deserve this, please don't take it out on my family.

Please don't be sad. One day, I will come back to make up for my mistakes.

By the name of Melikai, Our Lady of the Forest. "

Bansy remembers Nora's vow.

The Banshee guarded Nora Sebas's seed of confusion for countless days and nights, guarding the tranquility in her own way.

The villagers began to call her the Lady of the Forest, and rangers traveling from the Pearl Sanctuary also passed through her territory.

She often stands by the village river at sunset, where Nora Sebas first met her.
