Dawn of the Grey Tower

"Gallen, you left the fort without permission. If the big witch knew that you left the post during the caretaker, so what was wrong with the fort, did you take on this responsibility?" The dim fortress hall, a weak female voice Came from above. The woman known as Jia Lun impatiently flicked the hair in her ear and raised her head to look into the space where the candlelight was difficult to reach. She took a deep breath and then exhaled hard, as if inspired, the candlesticks next to Jia Lun started to light up one by one, and the dark hall became brightly lit within a few seconds.

And in this bright light, a thin figure shrunk. Judging from the position, she was the one who questioned Jia Lun in the dark. "Do n’t forget who of us is the administrator of this fortress. The guy who only hides in the shadows and gesticulates is better to shut my mouth honestly. Otherwise," Garen said, wrapping his legs The whip of the snake was taken off, and the heads of the three sea snakes immediately rose high, making a threatening voice at the shadow.

The thin man stopped talking and silently retreated from the candlelight. Jia Lun nodded with satisfaction, withdrew his weapon, and searched for what he wanted in the hall. She quickly found those things by the cold stone fireplace. They seemed to be some kind of long-handled iron seal, but the pattern on the bottom was incomplete. The witch grasped all four seals on the shelf. , Turned around and walked out of the hall. As Jia Lun's footsteps left, the candlelights in the hall dimmed immediately, as if some kind of monster that was extremely fearful of flames and light blew them out impatiently.

Outside the fortress, the monster has returned to its original position. The poor child dragged by the witch also fell in the same place. Except for a small water stain on the ground that is very inconspicuous, there is nothing to prove that the two had any interaction during the time that Jialun entered and exited. And even if the proud witch took a big step out, she would not pay special attention to the insignificant traces on the ground. Jia Lun demonstratively shook the thing she was holding in front of the mountain monster, and then spliced ​​it together according to the pattern at the bottom.

The four seals are combined to form a heart-shaped image of a mermaid, which is quite similar to the bow of Ms. Cursed. The witch approached the child on the ground and kicked the latter over with his feet, keeping his back up. "Feel glorious, from today on, you are the property of the frustrated witch corps." Jia Lun said, pressing the seal onto the child's back mercilessly. "Oh!" A burst of black smoke rose from the bottom of the seal, accompanied by a little electric light, even if it was already on the verge of death, the child still wailed silently under the severe pain beyond the common sense. But the gatekeeper who witnessed all this did not react, and still looked at what happened in front of him with cold eyes.

The black smoke dissipated, and the broken piece of cloth covering the children completely ended their mission, revealing the ugly scars on the thin back. After this cruel act, the witch gleefully pulled the other end of the noose around the child's neck and said to the monster, "Now, I can take him in."

The giant man in heavy armor lowered his body and made a passing gesture in the sound of armor collision. Jia Lun raised her chin proudly, dragging her loot into the fortress. The sunlight was shaded by large clouds in the sky, and the sea breeze gradually began to have a restless breath. Mountain monsters rarely raised their heads and looked in the direction of the beach. The tsunami is coming. And what impact did the advent of the tsunami have on the kid just now? Although the gatekeeper is not very clear what the witches are doing to collect the patients of the sea blast, it is certainly not to cure them.

What would it look like in the witch's fortress? For the child who woke up again, this question was not important, because he knew exactly where he came to the fortress. He was just selling his own flesh to the witch and only asking for a meal Sick chicken. However, curiosity is also human nature. At least in the outer area of ​​Frustration Bay, he has never seen such a neat house made of stone bricks. These stone bricks gleaming slightly under the candlelight are reminiscent of moonlight. The sandy beach. "It's like casting stars into stone." This is the description he can think of most in line with the vision of the eye.

At the same time, he also discovered another thing, that the hunger and sickness that had always troubled him seemed to be suppressed under the light reflected by these strange rocks. They still exist, but they are not as unacceptable as usual. "This stone room can alleviate pain, but this relief is just a kind of deception. People who should be starved to death will still starve to death. People who have been bitten by disease will still be devoured. After all, this is just a room full of deception Only. "The weak female voice sounded from behind the candlelight. The child saw that there was a woman who didn't know when. In all fairness, she is not ugly. No matter her nose or eyes make her feel comfortable, it's just that her sense of withering and weakness like a dead body makes people feel uncomfortable, and it is difficult to appreciate her appearance.

So the child was scared ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ He stepped back in the opposite direction and soon posted it to the stone wall. The cold and hard touch came from behind, aggravating his panic. The witch behind the candlelight looked at him calmly, with a little pity in his eyes, but this pity was not for people, but for the animals that were about to be slaughtered. Even with such pity, it did n’t last long in the witch ’s eyes. Her eyes soon became cold like a gatekeeper, and she slowly said, “You said you want a full meal? It ’s a pity? Now there are only me and Jia Lun. Jia Lun is the witch who brought you back. So, if you do n’t dislike me for cooking, come with me. "

After the woman finished speaking, she gently pushed open the door of the stone room, revealing the corridor made of dark masonry behind. "Is the wound on my body cured by you?" The child rallied and asked before the witch walked out of the stone room. He raised his right hand and put a few white bands of bread on his bread. It's just that the cloth bandage is very rusty at first glance, but it just barely makes the wound worse. It was not just his arm that was dragged back to the fortress by Jia Lun. The child's body was already covered with scars, and now the wounds have been treated with marks, except for the brand mark on the back.

"You are already the possession of the Witches. Life and death are not something you can decide before the members of the Witches need you to die. So come on, go to the kitchen with me to settle your remuneration, then Jialun will do it to you What has nothing to do with me. "

"Me, can you know your name? Madam."

The witch paused for a few seconds, and seemed to be hesitant to tell, or which name the child should tell, but in the end, she spoke, "If you want, you can call me, Hella."
