The mysterious journey begins with becoming a pirate

Standing at the gate of the witch manor, Alok curled his lips at the little bear.

"Everything here is good. But I don't see the owner very often." The little bear raised his head, stared at the big black eyes, and complained in a flat tone.

Alok scratched his head, squatted down, looked at the little bear, and said:

"Well~~ Little bear. Okay, you can go back to sleep at night. I don't think Ir will say anything."

"You should know the way." Alok asked with his head tilted.

After the little bear was silent for a long time, he tilted his head to align the angle with Alok and said slowly: "I know."

"That's good." Alok replied with peace of mind.

He took the little bear's hand and took it to sit on the twisted long bench next to the garden. Complained casually:

"Hey~~Women's minds are really hard to guess. What have you done here recently? Ir didn't give you too much work. I see she's busy with her own things recently. It seems that she doesn't need the binding array."

The little bear climbed onto the long bench by himself and sat on it for a long time like a doll. Then he slowly turned his head and said:

"There are no tasks except making the binding array. So I often take a walk here."

It turned its head and looked at the garden in front of it. It was silent for a long time and continued in a flat tone:

"I always get lost in the garden. Those flowers will stop me from moving forward. There are barbs on the vines on the roadside, which will hook me and make me lose the line. I have to carefully retract the line. Well~~It's always like this."

"New sprouts always emerge from the soil and grow wildly. They are like tentacles. I like tentacles. But they will get close to me. I don't like them anymore."

"The purple grass is like a knife, almost cutting my bandage. Bandages are my good friends. And those needle-like silver lawns. They will prick my feet. I don't want to walk on them."

"The gorgeous colors in the sky make it a little hard for me to see the direction. The tall flower beds block my sight. The occasional steps on the ground will trip me. The occasional clouds passing by will have the fragrance of flowers. Although it is very fragrant, it will make me sneeze. I don't like them."

It raised its head, looked at Alok, and asked calmly: "Master, how long will I stay here?"

Alok had a bitter smile on his face.

He squatted down, raised his head, and looked at everything in front of him from the perspective of a little bear. Everything in the garden became taller.

After a moment, he stood up. Holding the little bear's hand, he said gently: "Let's go."

······

"Today, the male guest of Lilith's sister appeared in the garden again.

He seemed to know the strange little bear. Although it's strange to say this, it's true.

The strange little bear likes to wander around in the garden. Then it gets trapped in a trap. But it always escapes. Then it returns to the starting point. Continues to wander around in the garden. Over and over again.

When did the little bear come?

Well~~ I remember it was a few days ago.

It walks very slowly and reacts very slowly. But it is alive, which is the first time I have seen it.

And the male guest took it away. He held it in his hand and hung it around his waist. This reminds me of a person.

The legendary Captain Jack!!

He has a little bear hanging around his waist. That's what the newspaper said."

After a long time.

Walsh put the feather pen in his hand back into the ink bottle and closed the diary in his hand. Sitting at the desk by the window, staring at the gate of the witch garden in the distance.

I don't know what he is thinking in his heart. Maybe he is thinking about what he will do in the future? Or thinking about his life and death?

Tonight's dinner is still very rich.

Since coming here, his dinner has always changed.

The only thing that makes him unhappy is that Lilith didn't bring him dinner tonight.

Originally agreed to continue studying in the evening. Did something happen?

He stared at Lilith's sister, the owner of this witch garden. This is the first time he has seen her face to face at close range.

"Where is Lilith?"

The answer to him was endless silence. Il turned around and left without stopping.

Walsh laughed at himself, and then placed the cart that originally belonged to Lilith next to the dining table. He arranged the dinner for two people.

Then he sat at one end of the dining table, as if waiting for something.

······

In the evening, a four-person dining table became a little insufficient.

Alok had no choice but to give up his seat for Il to sit down, and then moved a single sofa to block the aisle, and squeezed on it with Little Bear.

Lilith curled up on the sofa near the corner, her face looked a little pale. There was some fear and confusion in her eyes.

Daniel sat beside her and looked after her.

Magik looked at Lilith with concern opposite her.

And Il leaned against Alok and discussed something.

"You want Lilith to learn witchcraft? Daniel wants her to be a snow life priest? Magik wants to teach her druid??" Alok looked at the three people in shock.

"It's just a joke. Is there an option of alchemist with Rona?"

This made him recall that when he became a transcendent, Il and Richie always argued about what he should choose, but did not give him the right to choose.

"I have never seen a female druid. Magik, you are also meddling." Alok complained.

"That's because you are ignorant." Majik retorted, rolling his eyes. "In the Dark Moon Forest, although there are few female druids, there are still some. Besides, I am just giving an opinion. One more choice."

Alok rolled his eyes, wondering where Majik learned this idiom. He said angrily:

"Why don't you ask Lilith for her opinion. I hate helping others make choices. The right to choose should be in your own hands. Not anyone else."

Elok interrupted Alok, looked at him and argued:

"But when a person's will has not yet matured, he has not yet made his own complete value judgment, and he is unable to make the choice he really wants. Putting the right to choose in her hands is harming her."

"You have to think about whether a person's value judgment is correct. Don't regret your original decision when you grow up. Chaofan always cannot make a wrong step. Otherwise, he will have to make infinite efforts to make up for it."

"That should be left to her. No matter what her age, she must pay the corresponding price for her choice. This is freedom." Alok still insisted on his own ideas. But his heart was already a little relaxed.

"Think about it, are you willing to let Lilith become a pirate?" El asked.

Alok was stunned.

Indeed, transcendence is quite dangerous and one cannot make a wrong step.

If Lilith becomes a pirate, I wonder how far she can go.

I myself encountered countless dangers and was eroded several times. If it weren't for my specialness, I might have turned into a handful of loess.

If it's for Lilith's good, I'm not willing to let her become a pirate.

"You are a pirate, and of course your requirement is freedom. But being a pirate is not an option. What a witch wants is change and control. She doesn't need pirate things." El continued to express his point of view.

"Besides, Lilith originally wanted to become a witch. I didn't force her. Besides, it's not like I don't have the conditions to train her."

Alok shrugged, deciding not to argue too much with El. Said casually:

"It doesn't matter if she becomes any kind of extraordinary person. Didn't you originally want her to become an alchemist?"

El put on a victor's posture, sat on the sofa and raised his head, explaining:

"That was before. Now Rona is here. Besides, I think this is the Queen's instruction."

Speaking of this, Alok became slightly more interested and asked, "Oh? What's the appearance?"

"There's no appearance, it's just a feeling." El recalled for a while, then half-lying on the sofa, he said casually.

"Oh~~~Okay, a woman's intuition." Alok sighed, holding his forehead. "I hope it's right. Anyway, I don't care about too many things. I hope Lilith likes it."

He glanced at Lilith huddled in the corner and sighed helplessly. Asked in a low voice:

"Lilith, what kind of transcendent do you want to be?"

Lilith had no expression on her face, as if the argument just now had nothing to do with her.

After a long time, she raised her head and replied:

"Witch!"
