Dawn of the Grey Tower

Chapter 263: Witch and lumberjack

.Bqg34.,!

The reminder comes from a woman, her voice is very soft, with a little weakness inside. You don't need to look back, the cheese knows that the other party's body must not be very good. And when he stood up and turned his head, the woman standing on the bank of the river not far behind him still made his eyelids jump. She was too thin, even the narrow clothes that had been cut, wobbled like a face pocket on her. If slimness is an aesthetic preference, then she has exceeded this aesthetic boundary, and no one will think that this morbid skinny is a beauty unless he regards decline as a kind of aesthetics.

Even if there is indeed beauty in the withering, this beauty cannot be reflected in humans. Looking at the woman in front of you, the cheese can only think of famine, disease, despair and death in the mind of the cheese. It must be said that having such a body can stand there and talk to the mage casually, the woman itself is surprising. This unexpectedness completely attracted the Master's attention.

"Can you not look at me like this? I don't feel very comfortable." People who are stared at by the cheese will actually react similarly. Because his eyes are special, there is no desire or calculation in it. When staring at the mage, it is like facing a machine, and one can analyze you from the inside to the outside, from the skin to the bone. Machine. No one will like this feeling, especially those who are sensitive to their own bodies. People with disabilities are most taboo for others to mention their disabilities. For the same reason, the very thin woman felt that the mage did not take it seriously when she was observed. Treat yourself as a person.

"Sorry. Also, thank you for reminding." The cheese blinked, and he could draw many conclusions from the observation just a few seconds ago. First of all, the so-called clothing on this girl is just two pieces of cloth sewn together, and the hood on her head is more like a rough rag tied to the neckline. Regardless of the unusual body shape, her life is very difficult just by looking at her clothes. There are two possibilities. Either, she has no means of earning a living and no family members, so she becomes hard. Or, she has family members, but those family members gave up maintaining her dignity for some reason.

Both of these possibilities exist, and they are actually similar. Such a person appears in such a small town, then she can be regarded as an orphan regardless of whether she has a living relative or not. The cheese slowly walked out of the shoal. He noticed that every time he stepped forward, the woman consciously took a step back. There seemed to be an invisible beam between them, which made them inaccessible against the chest of the two.

"You are not a person in this town." The woman said, her eyes were unusually large because of the thinness of the entire face, making it difficult to restrain the eyes of the dead fish.

Thinking about coping strategies in his mind, his instinct told him that there was something abnormal in this woman. But he could not expand the magic horizon in front of the other party, which would undoubtedly scare her, "I am a passing traveler, resting in this town. When I was thirsty, I wanted to come and get some water. You wo n’t let me drink here Water, but I heard that all the towns in this town make water for drinking. "

"They are taking water here. But the water must be left to boil before it can be drunk, so drinking it directly will get sick." The woman said patiently, and she did not get what she wanted because of the ignorance of the cheese.

This made the mage determine two more things. First, this person is not bad, at least in the broad sense of good and bad people, she should be considered a good person. Second, she doesn't know much. Pointing out that drinking river water directly can cause illness is just a manifestation of ignorance, because the cheese has already reported the identity of his traveler. If a traveler does not even know this common sense, then he is really a problem. It can be seen that her knowledge is by no means extensive, so for her, the matter that the water must stand still and boil is the only necessary process for this river and even this section of the river. Because she didn't know what the drinking water was like in other areas.

"It turns out so, I know." The cheese nodded, but it didn't mean to dump the river in the corner cup. Just when he considered what reason he should use to continue to get more information from the woman ’s mouth, the other party took the initiative to reach out to him, just like her other exposed body, the arm Dry like bacon.

"I helped you and gave me food." Such simple logic made the mage not knowing how to deal with it for a while. Seeing the hesitation of the cheese, the woman seemed a little anxious. She took a step forward and repeated the words just now. This time, she got a response. The mage touched his body in a panic, and found some uneaten jerky from his waist pocket. This was a snack they used to relieve boredom and relieve slight hunger while advancing on the grassland. Just before taking out the jerky, the cheese was somewhat hesitant. He was not reluctant to make jerky, but was afraid that the hard jerky would harm the other's fragile digestive system.

Just as the thin woman took two more steps, the tone of asking for food became more excited, and heavy footsteps accompanied by a low drink came from the direction near the town, "Go away! You witch!"

Hearing anger, the woman was immediately struck by lightning. She subconsciously curled up and fled into the low woods by the shallows. The cheese reached out to block, but he turned to think about it, and it was not a good thing to keep the opponent strong at this time. Anyway, he already knew that there was such a person here, it would be better to wait and then go to her with food that is easy to chew and swallow. Now, he wanted to see the man who drove her away.

It was a lumberjack. From the appearance to the clothing and the feeling, it was very lumberjack. He has a big beard, curly mess and eyebrows forming a hair that almost covers his eyes, a strong body and a decorative axe tied around his waist that is more practical than practical. This kind of axe can be used to cut ordinary trees, but it can be used to cut down really valuable trees. The man snorted in the direction of the disappearance of the thin woman, and then grinded it hard with his feet. This is a simple ritual of exorcism and a rather crude folk custom.

"You call her a witch, I only saw a poor woman." The tone of the cheese was somewhat dissatisfied. He has seen real witches ~ www.readwn.com ~ and some of them are not bad, so he knows that witches have a bad reputation in the public is not accidental, they are really dangerous. But the more you understand the dangers of a real witch, the more the mage can't accept people treating ordinary women as witches. They are just passing on their fear of the unknown to these poor women. They have never really faced witches. Not dare to face the real witch.

"Don't be fooled by her appearance, stranger." The bearded man with a lumberjack approached the cheese. What's interesting is that although his body was strong and powerful, he was shorter than the mage. That look, have you ever thought about how she survived in the past three years without shelter and food? It could only be a demon, that woman has sold herself to the demon, so she is a witch. "

Regardless of this arbitrary judgment, the mage did grab a very useful message from the opponent's words for three years. According to the ship's boss, the anomaly in this town only happened shortly. But this does not wash away the haze on the woman, she still has the value of being investigated.

"Well, I get it. Just when you are right, she is a witch. So what about you? Who are you?"

Beard Wenyan patted his chest, "Who am I? I'm an ordinary lumberjack in Jiefa Town, you can call me Ban Yang."
