Dawn of the Grey Tower

Chapter 213: color

"Quote with my real name, the invisible darkness from the bottom of the world, taste the bait I prepared for you, and then serve me forever."

Twenty-six years ago, the capital of King Cang, Snow Night

The witch who has just arrived in this remote kingdom has not yet been filled with magic traps and magic blessings, so this is just a dilapidated house in the slum area that no one cares about. And after its last owner finally died of poverty and disease, this run-down shelter also had two new owners.

A huge soup pot enough to hold two adults is the only furniture in this hut. Besides, there is not even a chair or bed for people to rest in. Now, as the contents of the soup pot bubbling under the heat of the flame, the two figures are also drawn by the flame.

"Mother, are you sure you want to do this? I mean, call the shadow of the wizard in this place, do we really have the conditions to support it?" The appearance is the same as it is now, but there is a little calm Amya to another Said the man. Perhaps it was the reason that he had just fled here, at this time the witch was only wearing a patchy denim dress.

"Don't worry, dear." Green, who threw some strange materials into the soup pot, answered her daughter in a calm tone. "You have to believe that the future is full of hope. Don't worry about things that are still uncertain."

"But no one else will let me go! They will never tolerate defectors!" Emia shouted hysterically. If it weren't for the soundproofing in this room, she might be able to wake up a few blocks nearby from the dream.

"But we have escaped, haven't they? No one can leave the Witches alive, but we are here too. Now we must increase our strength to prepare for their pursuit." Green's face was still calm, As an older witch, she has experienced too many life and death moments, so even in the face of the threat of not knowing when she will kill, she can still live indifferently.

Mother's words calmed Emia, she knew that now the extra tension would only be a beacon of doom. The young witch lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.

"It's all my fault. If it's not me, you don't need to leave the witch group at all. If they chase ... I will surrender, please don't summon such a dangerous thing, I don't deserve it ..."

Grin looked at her tear-stained daughter and smiled.

"There has never been anything worthwhile or dear, dear. You are too close to those mortals, don't let their values ​​affect you. Remember, we are witches, there is nothing in this world that is qualified to deprive us of life, even if it is Our kind. "

The flame under the soup pot was getting bigger and bigger. At a certain moment, the red fire flew up like an erupting volcano, engulfing a whole cauldron.

"Okay, it's coming. It seems that my old bone has at least remembered the spell correctly." Green looked at the huge fireball in front of her and said with a smile.

Only light can breed darkness, and the brighter the light source, the deeper shadows will be cast in the corners. Under the red light emanating from the fireball, Green's shadow gradually grew longer and larger. At the same time, the outline of its edge no longer conforms to the shape of the witch, first two hands, then feet, and the shadows on the wall begin to appear in the shape that does not belong to its owner.

As the flame that engulfed the soup pot faded away, Green's shadow slowly recovered. But when the witch's shadow became smaller, a complete human-shaped shadow remained on the wall. It seems that because her shadow was partly separated, a line of blood bleed from the corners of Green's mouth, and her face was paler than before.

Emia quickly supported her mother, but was gently pushed away by the old witch, she was not weak enough to be supported. Green turned around, looked at the shadow on the wall that belonged to no one, and said.

"You were born from my shadow, so you must obey me. Carry out my orders, protect my safety, kill my enemies, and I will feed you to keep you in this world."

"I, obey." The shadow on the wall nodded its head. Then its entire head protruded from the wall, and a gap that could be called a mouth was cracked on the face without facial features, and a hollow voice came out from inside.

Twenty days ago, the witch ’s residence

Ge Lin lay in a large armchair, watching the flames in the fireplace in front of her engulf the firewood, making a crackling sound.

"... The above is the status of the recent royal families." Jason, who stood behind the witch after Bi Gongdijing, could not stand still after reporting the information regularly.

But unlike usual, the witch did not let Jason leave after listening to the report. She gently tapped the armrest of the rocking chair with her left index finger, making a regular voice and saying.

"Jason, how long have you been summoned by me?"

"Twenty-six years by tomorrow, master."

"Is it ... has it been so long? Yes, Coranti has grown so big." Greene seemed a little shocked by the passage of time, but then released her relief, and she continued, "So Jason, tell Me, do you like this world? "

"I don't understand what you mean, what do you mean by like?" The shadow of the human figure tilted his head, although he knew that the witch could not see this action, but his long life in human society made him have many physical habits.

"All this, my shadow. I like to mean all this, sky, land, rocks, running water, cities, and people."

"This place is more than the place I came from ... colorful ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ pondered for a while, Jason replied.

"Oh, my Jason, ha ha ha ..." Hearing the other party's answer, Greene seemed to have heard some funny jokes, her shoulders were shaking. Just when Jason thought he had answered a wrong answer, the witch's laughter stopped.

"Of course, there is only a dark mass where you come."

After this sentence, the two fell into a long silence, the old witch looked at the fire fascinatingly, and without the master's order, Jason did not dare to leave first. They seemed to be frozen, holding a posture motionless for a long time.

"Are you afraid to go back? Jason, go back to where you came from." Green said suddenly.

"If this is your wish." Shadow said.

"No, don't worry. It's not the time, it's not the time yet." The witch's voice gradually faded away. Soon, the calm breathing sounded that Green had fallen asleep.

Jason looked at his master's figure in the recliner. No one knew what he thought when Greene asked him if he was afraid to go back to where he was before. Just like most people don't think the shadow of the wizard will have an independent personality. They just thought that the shadows summoned from the unknown darkness were simply imitating what they saw.

When the sun was shining on the king, and when Coranti pushed the grandmother's door open, Jason was no longer there.
