Dawn of the Grey Tower

About thirty years ago, it may not be as long as thirty years, but twenty-five or sixty years is certainly enough. At that time, it was already a little distant for the people of their age in Cheese Losa. After all, for individuals, the time they had or could not experience was always far away. Just like those in the tavern who are talking about the world 40 to 50 years ago and the future 40 to 50 years later, they are not actually studying or speculating those times, but just recalling and imagining according to their own wishes. .

So even though Jia Lun thought that what she said was the truth, it was just a story she heard from the mouth of her older witch, and the story was changed enough for the witch to believe it to be true. This story is about a living member who lives in the witch group, that is, about Hella. According to legend, in that era, the witches had just won the dominance of the Heartless Bay, and the flag of the Heartless Witches was erected in this city for the first time.

But everything has a price. The previous rulers of the witches will not give up the ruling power of the Heart of Loss. For the war that has established its status today, the older witches are reluctant to mention it again. The members of the younger generation only know that the witch group at that time was seriously injured by this battle, and the dead witches occupied the time. A third of the Witches! There are even some obscure rumors that many witches lost something more precious than life and fertility during those years of war. This huge loss did not recover until the new young witches grew up and became talents in recent years. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, as long as the witches can control the Frustration Bay for another five years, all they have paid for winning the ruling power here is worth it.

And Hella was born right after the last war. In general, witches are quite cruel to their companions, but because of their short life span, they pay special attention to the continuation of race. Even the most inhuman big witches will explicitly protect their pregnant kin. But war will not do what people want, and the enemies of witches also know their weaknesses, so when the situation is not conducive to themselves, they decisively choose the most vicious way of revenge. They raided the rear camp of the witch group and killed most of the pregnant witches.

Hella ’s mother was the rear camp manager at the time, but she was also a pregnant woman. If the witch was the weakest, it must be the time when they were pregnant. In particular, the closer to the birth of the fetus, the weaker the mother becomes. Moreover, since it was the end of the war, the big witch desperately wanted to completely defeat her enemies. She also transferred the guardians who had been guarding the rear camp to the front, trying to gather all the power of the witch group to crush the opponent. The combination of the two situations is enough to show how desperate the witches in the rear camp were facing.

Faced with this hopeless situation, ordinary people may die with grievances. If the resentment against the witch group for abandoning itself is stronger, it may become another legend of the spirit in this sea area. But they are witches in the end, even if they are weak because of pregnancy, they are also the darlings of the crows and black cats that are accompanied by death and destruction. So the witches in the rear camp made a decision, a cruel, terrible, but reasonable decision. They sacrificed the fetus in their womb, using the grievances of these premature deaths who had died before birth, and used the most vicious curse even in the history of the Witch Order. No one knows how the curse took effect. The only thing that is certain is that all the members of the hostile forces that participated in the raid completely disappeared under the curse. The cursed exhibitors also died collectively at a huge cost.

On the first day that the Witch Order ruled the Lost Heart Bay, they held the funeral of the sisters who died in battle. According to the tradition of the witch, the dead should return to the soup pot and pass their wisdom and power to their compatriots. But because these witches died at the cost of cursing, their bodies remained pregnant, and even ordinary people who did not understand magic could see the terrible grudges lingering on the dead. Therefore, burial became their ending.

"It was raining heavily that day, and all the witches and other allies that were allied with us attended the funeral. Even the most unruly guy wore black mourning clothes that day to show respect for the dead. All the coffins were built by the best stonemason in the city, and each one needed six people to lift them. This aspect is to prevent ghouls and other things from harassing them, and on the other hand, the big witch is afraid These sisters who died with grievances will open the seal and come to find her revenge on a certain night ~ www.readwn.com ~ Jialun's tone gradually became serious, and his eyes looked at the dark corridor behind the child, as if he saw the long-term The scene, "The funeral began in the evening, and the newly reclaimed field was expropriated into a cemetery. Three wooden boats filled with gold, silver and precious stones surrounded the coffin. The recitation in the dark was passed down long before we came to this land. Requiem. In the dark rain screen, no one knows how many guests there are. It is said that even the existence that has left this world has returned here. Some people even claimed to have seen people who were supposed to lie in the coffin among the crowd. "

A cold wind blew through the hall, and two rows of candlelights swayed. The child holding a knife and fork felt a chill in his back. But the story of the witch has not yet reached its climax. "All the coffins, almost all of them have been installed. Only the ancestor responsible for the rear camp is the one who proposed to release the curse. Moving her When the coffin was there, the heavy rain was quiet. I mean, although the rain was still falling, everyone could hear the breath of others. Then, when the big witch sprinkled the first soil on the coffin, from the top There was crying in the coffin, baby crying. "

"Yes, the child is me. Maybe my mother secretly modified the curse, or it may be purely because of luck. In short, I survived. Born in the grave, so named after Hella. This is me, heartbroken The daughter of the tomb of the Witches. "The calm voice added. The child's eyes followed the witch, and he was surprised to find that Hella, who was like a corpse, had somehow changed her appearance. Her shrivelled cheeks bulged again, and her dry hair became shiny. But the child also found that the bouquet of roses in front of her had turned black, and the bright petals were rotten and paralyzed, sticking to the table.
