Chapter 260 Withering
A simple bed and an old roof. Cheese opened his eyes and then closed them in silence for a few seconds. During these seconds, his various senses quickly captured the information around him. When he opened his eyes again
, the calm look in his eyes has returned. He turned over to the ground and picked up the robe hanging on the bedside.
, he did not put it on immediately, but folded it in half and put it on his shoulder. Opening the door, Cheese did not go to the hall, but followed the structure of the house to the toilet, and then walked to the backyard. Like ivy
Taverns and backyards will all have wells for water supply. Although they are not big or deep, they are of some use.
When the mage actually walked into the hall, his appearance had reached the limit of what he could achieve at present. On the contrary, among those who reacted after seeing cheese, Atta looked embarrassed. Female
The swordsman's hair was disheveled, and there were light marks under her eyes, suggesting that she had not gotten any rest.
, her spirit was scattered and distraught, and it was not until she saw the mage that she returned to normal and showed an angry expression. Before anyone else could say hello to the cheese, Atta had already rushed to the door in three or two steps, stretched out his hand to hold Qi Si.
Si's clothes, "You know she will die, right? You just want me to kill her!"
Who will die? Who did she kill? What does Cheese know? Several questions surround the minds of people in the tavern hall. Among them are Kailas and Jian Qi, who returned to town after dealing with the river monster.
After resting, not long after they sat down, Atta came back with a gloomy face. But from then to now, the woman
The swordsman remained silent in the face of their questions until now. One person and one cat looked at each other. Jianqi sighed, stood up to block people's eyes, and looked at Emma with pleading eyes. The proprietress of the tavern immediately
Understanding, he walked towards the crowd and asked them to leave. Fortunately, there were only a few loggers who were changing shifts.
Cheese stood there without moving. He waited for Atta to calm down and reached out to pry her hand away from his clothes. This might have taken a lot of effort in normal times, but the female swordsman had already
She was very tired and had no energy to engage in resistance. After doing this, Cheese looked directly into the other person's eyes and said, "We will discuss this issue later. Miss Emma, please prepare some food."
Install it."
The basket with food was quickly prepared. Cheese picked up the basket and walked towards the door of the tavern. Atta seemed to understand what he meant, stopped shouting, and silently walked a step closer to him. The other two people saw
Zhuang hurriedly followed, not knowing what it meant. There were three people and one cat in the group, and no horses. Under the leadership of the female swordsman, they walked out of the town and walked upstream along the river. After encountering a forest,
Turning around, we walked some distance and arrived at a relatively open woodland. There were many low shrubs growing here, including many wild berries. In the center of these shrubs, there was a piece of land that had been recently turned over, with a slightly raised area.
There was a pile of stones on the mound. When Cheese saw the pile of stones, his eyes twitched slightly, and then he put the meal basket on the ground, "So, this is it?"
"This is it. She happened to fall here, so I followed the grassland tradition and buried her here." As Atta spoke, her eye circles began to turn red. For her, that was not a pleasant memory.
The mage nodded, looked around, walked aside and picked up a stone from the ground. He solemnly lifted the stone to the stone and put it on top. Then he looked back at Jian Qi and the others, "Since
Come together, let's go together. Although you haven't seen her, he died in our operation after all. It's always good to say hello."
So the sword hunter and the cat goblin each placed their own stone on the pile of stones, and then stood aside waiting for Cheese and Atta to explain the scene in front of them. Judging from the situation, it was not difficult to judge this stone.
There is a person buried under the soil, and she is a woman, who died not long ago. The question is, who is this woman, why did she die, and why does the mage say that her death is related to them?
Cheese noticed his companion's confusion, lowered his eyes, and spoke slowly, "A lady named Goli is buried here. I don't know where she was born, and I don't know why she came here. Maybe she was
People may be abducted because they were separated from their parents, abandoned by their husbands, or for other reasons.
What I know is that she appeared near the town three years ago and was called a witch by the locals. She did not have any magical knowledge or talent for casting spells, she was just a poor woman. Later, the river monster noticed her,
Capture her and drive her as your slave, this period of time will not be too long."
"She is the person you want to save?" Jian Qi suddenly remembered that Cheese had mentioned that Atta should save people before, and now it seems that Goli is the target, "But why did Miss Ah say you killed her?"
"This is about the river monster. Remember the night I acted alone? I tried to follow those invisible hairs to find the source of the town's problems. I found it. It was a magical machine.
Textile machine. It can spin hair into something. I can't tell what it is, but it can spin hair into something.
Once it is completed, no one in Jiefa Town will be able to survive. So I immediately wanted to destroy the machine. The problem is that even if it is a magic textile machine, it cannot operate by itself, and Goli is the one who is forced to operate it.
And her life is tied to that damn machine." Cheese narrated calmly.
"Actually, this is nothing new. Many magical creations have similar abilities and can force living beings to use them. Therefore, instead of saying that Goli is a slave of the river monster, it is better to say that she was forced to become a loom.
Slaves, the former can be freed from their slavery, but the latter...
"He paused, closed his eyes and was silent for a few seconds, "When I met her, there was nothing I could do. She was tied too closely to that thing, and trying to separate the two was too much for such a weak person.
It's impossible to do it, her body and mind can't bear that kind of damage."
"So you asked Taran to kill her?" The cat fairy said in a bad tone. It is understandable if there is no way to avoid killing people in order to survive. It is also understandable to destroy the textile machine in order to save the people of Jiefa Town. But let Atta
Killing an innocent person without psychological preparation? This is something Kailas, as the guardian of the female swordsman, cannot accept, because this is two different things from killing an opponent in battle.
"No. I got Goli's blood and concocted a magic potion. With the power of the potion, the connection between her and the loom will be temporarily destroyed. Atta will take this opportunity to destroy the loom, and she will survive.
."
"But she still died. Did I destroy the textile machine at the wrong time?" After listening to Cheese's explanation, Atta began to wonder if it was his own wrong actions that led to this outcome.
The gray robe shook his head after hearing this, "That's not the case. If she can walk out of the hut, it means the effect of the potion is successful. She will die, purely due to long-term malnutrition. The river monster treats her as a tool and does not give her any food.
Her food is affected by the magic of the loom, and her life is bound to end. This influence always
Once she disappears, it’s not surprising that her already overwhelmed body will collapse immediately. She was already dead when she first saw me. But I still hope to have some luck, and the luck in the potion will
The magic power can extend her life and give me the opportunity to repair her body... In the end, I thought it was too simple."
After cheese finished speaking, he opened the basket and placed the food inside in front of Goli's grave. He recited in a low voice the eulogy for the deceased passed down by Cangshi, and the scene from a few years ago came to mind.
