Dragon and knight Ji gl

Leif deliberately said that her confrontation with the evil dragon was an easy task that time, and naturally she consciously ignored some details that she thought were insignificant to outsiders—for example, the magic dragon and the dragon. The gap in her strength is actually quite large, for example, she is actually terribly scared—the purpose is to make Natia Vida not feel too unhappy about spending her money.

However, Leif’s good intentions—she thinks that this omission, since it is not out of vanity to beautify her past combat experience, but out of caring for the other party, so it can’t be considered dishonest—was not Accepted by Natia Vida, who waved his hand in front of her, Leif felt a puff of itchy, fluffy powder blow into her nostrils, and then her lips seemed to stick together They stick together like a paste and cannot be opened.

"Please make a quick decision." The old? King wiped the sweat that dripped from the underside of? You don't care about the life and death of the people of our country, but if you continue to delay, the Princess Millie you want to take away will also be affected by this riot..."

"Miss Knight told me just now that the reason she said she could provide gold was just to show off her bravado. She didn't want to risk her life, so she pretended to be rich. I lied to you to let Princess Millie take away first." Natia Vida grabbed Leif by the collar like a chick, and pushed her to the villain? The king , pointing to a wrinkled part of her clothes and said, "If you don't believe me, take a look at what she is wearing. How can there be in this world? A rich? Human? Will wear such shabby clothes?"

It was near the end of autumn, and the weather was a bit chilly. Leif put on a thick layer of old nightgown.Naturally, this nightgown was also prepared by Natia Vida, and it looks exactly the same as the old nightgown she has worn since she was ten years old. The thread ends also have thread ends, so naturally the patched places are also patched.

At that time, when Grandma Samantha made this nightgown for her, it was purposely made a bit looser, and she intended to let her wear it until she was an adult, but the old man seemed to have overestimated her height.

In short, the replica and miniature version of this nightgown Leif wears is as comfortable as that old nightgown. Anyway, I don’t need to care about the clothes when I’m in prison.But suddenly being pointed out by the witch, Leif still felt a little uncomfortable.

Where Natia Vida's finger pointed, there were three patches—there was a smaller patch on top of the two large patches.The three patches are connected into one piece, and the middle part protrudes poorly.

"This..." The villain? The king has never seen? Such shabby clothes in his life. For a moment, this human? She didn't make a sound, but she felt ashamed because she was exposed by the lie of pretending to be rich.

"Do you think I'm so easy to be deceived? Naturally, I will ask you to provide me with gold before I can let you go." The villain? The king said, "Or will? One will be detained, and you will be released after the other person? delivers? the gold..."

"Actually, as you can see, the relationship between the two of us is not harmonious. To be honest, Miss Knight and I haven't met even once before. It's just because of this mission. It’s just that I was forced to form a cooperative relationship.” Natia Vida said, “So, I’m afraid whether it is to detain me and let her go outside to find gold to redeem, or detain her and let me Go to the human?human world to find gold for redemption—for the time being, we may not be able to obtain such a large sum of gold—even if we find gold, I’m afraid we will steal it in the next second——Miss Knight Don't you think so?"

Leff nodded in agreement.

The villain? The king's hope of getting gold from these two outsiders? The rags on Leif's clothes have almost worn him down. Now Natia Vida completely dispelled him. Instinctively wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Natia Vida just as he opened his mouth.

"After all, we came to the country of villains to take risks because we can't live in poverty. Don't think that Princess Millie's father is really willing to pay a lot of gold for Princess Millie—if he If you want, you will send more and more capable people to the Cliff Forest instead of just sending the two of us."

Natia Vida said, "Even if he is willing to sacrifice so much for his daughter, I'm afraid he can't do anything about it. You have to know that Princess Millie's home country is just a small country surrounded by strong neighbors—the human world. There are many countries, large and small, and I am afraid that there is no country that can have a small country with a large population, rich products, and stable territory-the treasury cannot make ends meet, and if it weren't for you, you would attract Princess Millie. If the villain enters the country, she will soon be married to a neighboring country in exchange for the short-term security of the country..."

Leif found that not only could she not speak, she could not even turn her neck. Gradually, her hands and feet became stiff and unable to move.

She suddenly felt that she didn't understand Natia Vida, it was clearly the latter who suggested to avoid going to the Holy Pile.

Natia Vida also tried her best to encourage her not to keep the villain's life and death in the riot in mind, and even tried to use this as a threat to mediate with the villain king.She asked Leif to use the solution proposed by the king, so as to avoid the risk. Although Natia Vida also made a request to the king to provide all the gold in the holy pile, but maybe this pile of gold villains? I have my own way to get it, maybe the "god" in the villain's heart doesn't care about the gain or loss of gold.

However, at the end of the day, the king gave a solution that was nothing more than a piece of cake for Lev, but Natia Vida backtracked at this moment——Lev even felt that the witch almost lost all the easy ways. It is blocked, and the only remaining road points to: go to adventure in the three holy piles of the villain country.

Lev was a little angry, and then thought again, if she was sure that her life would go well in this task, she might make the same choice as Natia Vida.Of course she will go to the holy pile to make a breakthrough.Even if her companion refuses at this time, she will use various means to persuade her, or she will simply go alone.

The villain? The king also sensed Natia Vida's intentions, and asked: "What is your intention?"

Leif was counting on? What other way did Natia Vida have? Until he finally heard? Natia Vida said the astonishing words in a firm tone: "We'd rather go directly to the Holy Pile."

--

The villains? The jailers retreated into the prison after sending them to the gate of the prison. It seemed that they didn't even have the idea of ​​staying outside for a moment.

The villain, the king, left before the two of them were released from prison, and the car back to the palace was covered with an oilcloth similar to an umbrella.

In Leff's heart, in fact, he has been thinking about the violence. He was afraid of seeing blood all over the ground and bones everywhere. However, the street seems to be quite calm, the road surface is even very clean, and the buildings do not show any damage. I don't know if it's because the clean-up work at the gate of Guodu Prison is perfect, or because the villain? The king intentionally exaggerated the violence.She walked dozens of steps forward with Natia Vida, but there was nothing? When the mob suddenly attacked them, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The only change is that the usually crowded and lively streets are now quite deserted, with almost no one to be seen.

That layer of blue light still shrouds the top of the head, and a violent and gloomy mood slowly penetrates into every crevice.

Leif went to the stable and pulled the horse out. Lily's perception of the atmosphere was much more sensitive than that of a human, and puffs of gas came out of her nostrils, as if she wanted something unclean to come out of it. ?It seemed to be sprayed out from the body, but in the end, a few drops of snot were sprayed out.After seeing her long-lost master, Lily tilted her head and rubbed her shoulder, and tried to rub her snot on Leif.

As expected, Leif avoided precisely.

After riding the horse, Leif handed Natia Vida his hand, but the latter didn't hold it.

Laif looked down and looked back in doubt, only to see that the witch was looking in the direction of the holy pile, without the slightest smile on her face, and a sad and helpless emotion was even revealed in her eyes.

Thinking of Natia Vida's usual appearance, Leif didn't know what kind of support the latter had. She always looked confident.Even if she often put on a frightened or pitiful look, it can be seen that she is pretending if she looks closely. Lev even felt that Natia Vida might be a bit more courageous than herself.

With her current expression, Leif almost thought that Natia Vida was really scared.

"Natia Vida." Leif called her, but the hand that was stretched out to the witch didn't take it back.

Natia Vida pulled her hands onto the horse, and then gently wrapped her arms around her waist, and then her two hands remained motionless, no? The usual sloppy movements were really quite regular. Strange, then? She apologized politely: "I... I thought? You would blame me, Miss Knight."

Leff originally had "many" things to say, "many" things to ask, and some of them were reproaches that might cause some quarrels, but for some reason she couldn't open her mouth, and it was clear that the medicine powder had failed.

In the end, she just said: "You don't seem to be feeling well either."

"It's all the damn light's fault," Natia Vida said.

In the past few days, Laif also feels that she is quite abnormal. If it is said that all this is because of this blue light, what she is thinking about? In fact, it did not come out of thin air, and if it has nothing to do with the blue light, then she She was indeed worried about some things that she would not normally think about. She didn't know if Natia Vida had also fallen into such an anomaly, so she could only say: "Yes, this damn light!"

Leif just had a little understanding of her companion in her heart, but felt her waist tightened, and then her shoulders felt heavy, her warm breath brushed the hair by her ears, and the witch rested her chin on her On his shoulder, Jiao Didi said: "I'm so scared, Miss Knight..."

The tone is like an evil witch trying to lure a child home to make soup.

... Sure enough, it was pretending again.

"Natya Vida!" Lev felt angry, but felt that at this critical juncture, she could still make a joke. I'm afraid Natia Vida has? She doesn't know the hole cards.

"For the gold!" Natia Vida shouted angrily.

Clamping the horse's belly with both legs, Leff raised the whip and pointed in the direction of the holy pile, raised the corner of his mouth vigorously, and cheered himself up: "For the honor and the bride! Forward!"

The chubby bay red horse ran wildly on the empty street, its hooves splashing the dust on the ground.

When I turned the corner of the street, several pairs of prying eyes appeared in the windows of the closed rooms.

In the small country, which has always been peaceful, the continuous blue light aroused strong resentment. Some frictions that were easy to eliminate in the past gradually became unforgivable, and then people broke out. disputes.In the eyes of villains and officials everywhere, this is an extremely unusual thing, so they reported the casualties one after another. The villain's country has a large population, so the number of casualties is naturally considerable.

However, in the few days of riots, there were actually very few people who were injured and died due to physical conflicts, and most of them were the elderly and sick who were injured by their own anger.However, in just a few days, a thick gloomy mood overwhelmed the resentment.

Lev knows nothing about all this.

--

The destination of Leif and Natia Vida was originally near the capital, and the journey was only a few quarters of an hour.

Along the way, Leif still didn't see anyone? Fortunately, he didn't see a corpse or blood.

The Holy Pile is three cones of equal size made of solid stones, and the tips of the cones are inserted straight into the dome of the villain's country.The connection between the Holy Pile and the cone top looks like a point from a distance, but it is a plane when viewed up close, like three thick and hard ground thorns, slightly denting the dome upward.For humans, this sacred pile may only be as high as the two leg bones of a strong man, but for a small person whose height is only three to five inches, it is a formidable colossus.

When the whole picture of the Holy Pile was gradually revealed, Lily would rather step on the other than take a step forward.

Natia Vida got down from the horse first, and scolded the bay red horse: "It's really timid." This tone is even more shameless than the owner of Leif.

This time the witch got off her horse without being led by her, and didn't? Didn't her footsteps slip? Didn't she lean on her? Leif thought to herself, in front of the gold mine, the witch's body became stronger too. stand up.

The witch walked a step faster than her, and the hand behind her back was trembling slightly - Leif thought to herself, she was still worrying about her life, but the witch was so excited that she couldn't help admiring it.

The two of them looked up at the holy pile.

I saw that the Holy Pile is composed of pieces of pure white stones cut into brick shapes, and the stones are closely connected. I am afraid that even a very thin piece of insect wing can't be squeezed into the gap between the two stones. .These three huge cones, in terms of shape and materials, are somewhat similar to the tombs of an ancient country in Leif's impression.

The source of the layer of blue light that shrouds the skies over the Lilliputian Kingdom is these three cones called the Holy Pile.

Leif looked around and saw that the surrounding area of ​​the Holy Pile was very empty, and there were no other buildings. The nearest building was not a temple, but a very ordinary dwelling. Before the blue light appeared, Leif Fu also didn't hear much information about this holy pile from the people of the villain.

There are no festivals, no clergy, and no special forms of worship on weekdays. The beliefs of the villains in their "gods" are very similar to those of humans on the ground. different.

Looking at the three daunting cones again, it is hard to imagine what kind of "god" will be hidden in these three stone things.

Lily's four hooves were nailed to the ground, but her body was leaning back as if being blown by a strong wind. Normally, she would sway back and forth as if she was slapping away the tail of an invisible flying insect, but she was also motionless at this moment.Looking up at the top of the Holy Pile, it was obvious that he was instinctively afraid, but the two huge eyes seemed to be rolling their eyes.

Leif couldn't help laughing after taking a look.

There is no stake around? You can? tie the horse, Leif took the reins of Lily, walked a few steps in the direction farther away from the holy pile, then took out a thin pillar, poked it hard on the ground, and then? Tie the rein to the post again.However, she suddenly had a thought: I am afraid that she may not be able to survive this time.Thinking about tying Lily here, I'm afraid no villain would dare to go nearby and take her away. This horse would be pitiful if it couldn't eat forage.

Leff was stroking Lily's head, and countless complicated thoughts between being generous and fleeing in battle flashed through his mind, when he suddenly heard the sound of "bang bang bang" coming from the front of the holy pile.

"You, are you planning to dig a passage in like this?" Leif asked? "Is it too offensive..."

Natia Vida held in her left hand a chisel that she took out from nowhere, and in her right hand a hammer that she took out from nowhere. Some stone chips.

"Miss Knight, we will do even more offensive behaviors in the future." The villain? ? Some larger stones fall down.

Lefty walked towards Natia Vida, but suddenly felt that her clothes seemed to be pulled by something. When she looked down, she only saw a red shadow.

Just as he was wondering what that was, the bay red horse had already rushed to the front of Leif, and stood back where it had stopped before, and turned into a strange posture of leaning back, staring straight at the direction of the holy pile.

She walked towards Natia Vida: "Is there no entrance to this holy pile? And there are three holy piles, why did you choose this one..."

Even so, Leif also took out the chisel for breaking rocks from the system backpack, and prepared to help Natia Vida.

However, when he got closer, he found that on the holy pile that Natia Vida had chiseled, not far from the chisel marks, there was a door.Although the door is closed, there is neither a key nor a chain on the door. It looks as if it is concealed. Even through the crack in the door, the dense blue light emerging from the inside of the Holy Pile can be seen.

Lev thought to herself, Natia Vida must have tried this door, but she couldn't push it open, so she cut another entrance. However, it would be more convenient to start chiseling near the crack of the door, why not? do it.

So I just picked up the chisel and tapped lightly on the stone gate, didn't I think that the gate would open with just one touch.

It seemed that there was a whirring wind blowing from behind her, pushing her towards the door. Leif heard the neighing of the horse behind her, but she was powerless to turn back. It seemed that there was a force forcing her to walk in the door go.However, the moment she raised her steps, it seemed that another drum force pulled her, and she fell to the right side.

The chisel in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang", and after he stood up in shock, he felt dizzy for a while, and his physical strength was lost in an instant, which reminded Leif of the two consecutive escapes from death during the first wild hunting. A feeling of disenchantment afterwards.

Fortunately, the symptoms of loss of strength were not so obvious this time. When Natia Vida put down her work and rushed to Leif, the latter had recovered her strength, but her face was a little pale.

The door on the Holy Pile was half-opened under Leif's casual push, and a deep blue light was emitted from the inside.Natia Vida looked at the door with apprehension, and then looked at Leif with worries and doubts, "You didn't?...Fortunately..."

The two parts were not connected at the beginning and the end, but Lev understood Natia Vida's meaning, and it was nothing more than thinking that she would never come back.

"Did you already know that there is something weird about that door?" Leff deeply felt that the relationship between the witch and the villain family might be unusual, and her understanding of the Holy Pile was not what she said it was. It's just "hearsay".

"Didn't you see the stele over there?" Natia Vida asked?

In the middle of the three holy piles, there is a stone tablet.Leif recognized this stele. She had seen it on the scroll that recorded the history of the villain's country. It recorded the precepts that some villains obeyed. However, after countless years, the writing on it And it is almost worn away. On the front of the stele, only a few fragments of words such as "broken...", "respect" and "labor" can be seen. The style and spelling of the letters are similar to those on the mainland. The commonly used characters are different, and Leif even guessed blindly but only guessed a word that can be counted by hand.

"Let's take a look at the back of the stele, Miss Knight." As Natia Vida said, she picked up the hammer and chisel again, and continued to "bang bang bang" to break the stone wall.

The villain, the knight, walked towards the back of the stele. Didn't you think that the word "?" was also engraved on it, which seemed to be carved with an extremely sharp object. The engraving was much deeper and larger than the words on the front. At this moment, it is still clear and clear. Leif is quite talented in etymology. Seeing the above two lines of text, I couldn't help but translate it and read it out. The first line is: "There are not many treasures here? .”

The second line reads: "If anyone with greedy thoughts enters this gate, I will burn them into ashes like burning a dead leaf."

Leff read these two lines and looked up, just in time to see the half-open door.

Natia Vida heard Leif read the above words, and laughed angrily and mockingly: "Stupid and hypocritical." This should refer to the monster in the holy pile.

"Stupidity" refers to the previous sentence where there is no silver, but perhaps it is intended to use internal treasures to lure outsiders? As for "hypocrisy", Leif does not know how to explain it.

Natia Vida's tone was quite disdainful, but it also carried an anger that came from nowhere, as if she had some kind of deep hatred with this Holy Pile monster.

But it would be a strange thing if this young witch really had any bloody feud with the Holy Heap monster.If this monster is still rampant in the world, it is impossible for Leif not to have heard of its name.And the more Leff looked at it, the more he felt that this holy pile was just a graveyard, and the age of this stele could not be faked.The above words are quite like last words, if this monster is really still alive, why not use these words to scare people? Put them at the door of the house.And the witch is not yet 20 years old, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to have a grudge against an old monster from thousands of years ago.

Lev saw that Natia Vida's expression and behavior were different, and she only knew that her emotions were affected by the blue light.

Natia Vida murmured: "...this... monster clearly hides a lot of treasures. It is clearly greedy, but it says others are greedy. It can be seen that the words on the stone tablet are not worthy of trust." Villain? Witch The bulging face seemed to be even more bulging because of anger.

"Then why don't you dare to enter this door?" Leif pointed out the contradiction between the witch's words and deeds.

Natia Vida let out a "hum", and then there was no sound, and she continued to smash rocks with a "bang bang".

Leif looked at the words on the tablet again, thinking back to what the witch said just now: "I seem to think that you already know the words on the tablet..." Even before they entered the villain? country before.

Could it be that there were human visitors who had narrow escapes before the villain's country, but they were not recorded?Or Natia Vida's family, who once defected from the "villain" clan... The latter guess may explain why Natia Vida has? The villain's potion, since the villain can turn Princess Millie into the size of a villain, it means that the two parties are probably using the same potion.

However, before Lev finished speaking, he saw a gray ball of hair that was much taller than the villain popping out of Natia Vida's arms. The head of the ball was wearing a long and fluffy hair. The big tail rushed towards the stone door that cursed the greedy, its fat body stuck in the door frame, and the hairball made a "hoo hoo" sound from its mouth.

"What is this?..." Leff drew the knife forward and instinctively poked the tip of the knife at the tail of the hairball.

The ball of hair squeezed into the stone door with force, and the machete stuck on the ground of the door, leaving only a few gray hairs.

Lev put away the machete, and picked up the hair in his hand, when he suddenly heard Natia Vida's cheers.The latter stood on a pile of raised stones, the hammer and chisel he was holding had been put away, his hands were put on his waist, and his sweaty face looked eager to try.

"Miss Knight..." The villain? The witch jumped down from the pile of rocks, ran towards her, and grabbed her with both hands.

Leif stood on the three steps of the stone door, so she was a little taller than the witch.

The villain? The witch looked up at her with bulging cheeks, and Leif only felt that the other party was like a delicate doll with a round face.The appearance of a villain already has the characteristics of some human larvae that are lovable. She seems to have some understanding. After she has become a villain, why does the witch always love to knead her, she He raised a few gray hairs in his hand, pointed at Shimen, and gestured: "Just now there was such a big thing..."

"Don't worry about so much, Miss Knight." The villain? The witch dusted the gray hair in Leif's hand to the ground, as if she was a little dissatisfied with Leif who didn't notice her great achievements, and turned to her Pointing above the chiseled stone pile, "We can already go in." So he pulled Leif and walked towards the newly created entrance.

"Well, otherwise..." Leif still had some resistance in her heart. She thought to herself that if the curse on the stele was fake, then entering through the doorway or digging a hole in the wall would be the same. It will be the same result; and if the curse is true, then I'm afraid it's just a trick to avoid entering through the "door", and it won't reduce the risk at all. The monster at the head of the holy pile may not abide by it. It is agreed that only those who enter the "door" will be harmed.

Even though he had such an idea, his footsteps followed? The villain? The witch moved forward.

Leff knew that this trip was unavoidable. She had considered the worst consequences and felt that she could accept it, but the thoughts of greed for life and fear of death still came to her heart again and again.

The cave carved out by the villain or the witch is actually quite large. Along the cracks in the stones, the door openings are square, and two people can pass through with just one squeeze.Although it is only a short distance away from the stone gate, the cave is dark and does not reveal the thick and dazzling blue light like behind the stone gate.

This shows that the stone cave and the stone gate do not lead to the same passage.The villain? The witch looked at her quite complacently, and seemed to say that she already had a solution to the problems that Leff had considered, so Leff felt a little relieved.

The villain? The witch took a step forward and stepped on the thick stone wall. The two held hands, and Leif followed.Almost simultaneously with Natia Vida, she took another step into the cave.

Just this step made Leif's heart that had just settled down hang again.

Originally, the lower edge of the cave was not much higher than the ground of the villain's country, at most it was the height of a step that could be easily crossed, but Leif stepped down and stepped on an empty space , she tried to retract her feet, but the villain? The witch strode in without hesitation. Leif exclaimed, and was dragged into the cave by force. Along with the villain? The witch fall.

The momentary weightlessness brings a strong sense of fear. When falling in the dark, facing death within reach, Leif suddenly feels that her previous worries have disappeared. Safety at an unknown moment has fallen into an unsolvable mysterious death. We just need to consider what to do at this moment to save our lives.

She was very calm, as if she had practiced countless times in this situation, she pulled out the machete from her back and thrust it into the stone wall with her backhand. However, after all, the stone wall is quite smooth and hard, and it is difficult for the tip of the knife to find the hole it penetrates.At this moment, it was only a slight weakening of the downward trend, but they were still accelerating.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the tip of the machete was finally blocked by a strong force, and after a period of slowing down, it finally plunged into the stone wall.Leif held the handle of the machete in one hand and Natia Vida in the other. The whole body was pulled vigorously from two directions, and the joints were almost torn to pieces.

Fortunately, still alive?.

"Natya Vida!" In the process of falling just now, Lev heard Natia Vida's body smashing against the stone wall several times.

The villain? The witch made a sound, indicating that she was not? knocked unconscious by?

In the darkness, Leif didn't know how far away from the ground.

"Fortunately, the machete you prepared for me is actually very strong..." Leff finished speaking intermittently, and before he finished speaking, he heard a "click". The source of the voice was the support? Man? The weight of a machete.

Accompanied by two screams, the two fell down again.

After losing the sense of tearing in Leif's body, she experienced a high degree of mental tension, and finally passed out. Before she lost consciousness, she only remembered that she firmly grasped the villain? The witch's hand.

But when she opened her eyes again, she found that there was a dazzling light in front of her eyes.

Did she fall to her death?

How could the world on the other side of this world be...

——No, why do you still feel dazzling after falling to your death?

Looking up, there are countless huge fluorites inlaid on the pure white stone wall, and the fluorites emit light blue light.The light from the fluorite shines on the stone wall again after being reflected by the inorganic matter.There are also many shimmering colors mixed in? Red, blue, yellow, green, etc., but the main color is gold.

Leif looked down, but she didn't see her own body, but just saw some golden pieces of metal, large and small, which would bury her from the neck down. The part where the exposed meat was in contact with the metal block felt icy cold.

"By the way..." Leff turned her neck and looked around a few times, searching for traces of the villain? The witch. She was afraid that the latter was being buried. Where did she look? A long and curved The stairs, and swept again? The mottled in the distance? Red, blue, yellow, green golden ocean, but still no? Find the villain? Witch, "Natya Vida, where are you?!"

Leif suddenly heard a vibration coming from behind her. She wanted to turn her head back, but after all her neck couldn't rotate in any direction, she wanted to push herself out of the pile of metal ?Dug it out, but suffer from the lack of strength in the arm muscles.

"Natya Vida!" Leif shouted loudly.

There was an echo from the stone wall: "Tiya Vida... Ya Vida... Vida... Da..."

Accompanied by the crisp sound of metal impacts, a thick arc suddenly rose in front of her.
