Leaf
Chapter 96:Leaf
Seeing the busy people around, the leaves did not expect that they would have a day to approach the secular town.
After entering the border town, the low brick bungalow appeared in front of her as a long-seaed memory.Less than half a year later, she felt that the sight in front of her was as strange as another world.
Just after the demon month, the town people through the lack of clothing and food after the winter, should look and body are very bad, the leaves remember to help have passed through the slums of Silver City in the winter - everywhere hungry frozen bodies, the still alive people are like the walking dead, the look is numb, slow movement.
But here, most of the people she saw were full of energy, some drying fish at the door of the house; some climbing on the roof repair broken tiles; more were the adult men with hoes and hammers, who talked and laughed and walked to the north of the town.In this case, the leaves will pull down the hat and avoid it as much as possible.
The location of the castle is very eye-catching, just on a high hillside in the southwest corner of the town.There are no plants around that can be used, and it is very difficult to sneak in silently.It is okay to hide from the enemy in the trunk, and it is too big to let the tree get up and send itself into the movement.
She was not a witch who was good at hiding, and after thinking about it again, the leaves felt that instead of hiding, she could walk into the castle honestly.
If the Nightinge had not lied to her, there would have been no problem even if she walked through the main door.
If the Nightingers had deceived her and the sisters of the Helper, she would have managed to escape from the pursuit of the two guards in front of the door.
Of course, the worst case is that the Nightinge completely betrayed everyone and relied on hunting witches to serve the prince, then he would die here nine times out of ten.As the top fighting witch, few people can escape the pursuit of the night Yingying, even if it is as strong as Hakalla, there is no certainty that he will win.
The leaves are ready for the worst.If she does not return alive, the book will take over as a teacher and lead the sisters to continue—no one knows the answer as to where the destination is, and where they will return.
She walked slowly up the hill, near the castle gate.The guard quickly noticed her, put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and shouted: "This is the prince's palace, not where you should come, step back!"He paused, adding, “If it’s a matter of urgency, go straight to the left and go to the town hall.”There will be someone to receive you.”
The leaves took a deep breath and took off their hood.Unsurprisingly, she saw that the two men were surprised at the same time, and did not wait for the other to return to God, she said bluntly: "I am a witch."
At the moment of this sentence, she was almost ready for the guard to draw his sword.But the two guards only looked at each other, and there was no ordinary person who could not hide their hatred when they heard the witch.One of them even asked with interest, “Witches, what have you done?”
This reaction made the leaf's heart beat sharply, and she was almost full of excitement under pressure, saying in the calmest tone possible: "I want to see the nightinge side."Or Anna and Nanawa could.
In the story of the Nightingers, the witch is a regular visitor to the castle, and His Royal Highness does not imprison their freedom, and the guardian of the castle, at the behest of the four princes, turn a blind eye to them in and out of the place... If the Nightingers say it is true, the guards could not have heard their names.
The guard who asked out patted his partner on the shoulder, “You are here to look at her, and I will inform your Highness.”
The leaf looked at him as he entered the gate and soon disappeared into the garden.
What will be waiting for you, the meeting between the sisters, or the round-up of the guards, or the blade from the shadow?
She found herself caught in a strange contradiction, clearly wanting to believe the Nightinge, but the closer she was to the answer, the more afraid she was of disappointment.Will the Nightinging be changed here and not by that name at all?Could Anna and Nanawa have been made up by her?Or maybe...
Time has never been so slow as it is now!Every heartbeat seemed to span a hundred years, and for a long time, she quietly waited for her fate.
I don't know how long, or just a short moment, she heard the nightinge's voice - in a trance, she thought she had heard wrong.
A familiar figure appeared from behind the door and pounced on her, almost as the sound arrived at the same time.Then she was in the arms of a warm body.
“Leafs, welcome home!”

"Here's my spare, and you'll wear it first," the Nightinge rummaged through the cupboard, "and the coat, the shoes... well, the nightgown and the towel."
"What a hurry," Wendy said, shaking her head with a smile, "and wait for your Highness to get up, and of course she will be installed."
Looking at the busy nightingale, the eyes of the leaves became hot again, and she sucked her nose, clenched her lips, and wiped away the tears that had been turned.She was afraid that as soon as she spoke, tears would come out of her eyes.
It turns out that the Nightingei really did not lie to himself, and the prince who was willing to be kind to the witch really existed.
Do you want a hot bath first?"The Nightingep put the bath towels and clothes to the leaves," said His Highness, who was taking a nap, and when he woke up, he would be glad to see you.Have you found the Holy Mountain?How are the other sisters?”
When asked, the sight of the leaves suddenly became blurred, and she could no longer bear it, holding the nightinge, releasing the pain that had been suppressed in the bottom of her heart.
Crying until the nightinge's chest was all drenched, and the leaves gradually calmed down.
Then after she left the three of them for the co-assistance, what happened to the sisters was told from beginning to end.When it comes to the many sisters buried in the wild, she felt that the nightinge could not hold her hand and tighten it.
When the leaves finished, Wendy's look became unusually heavy, "I did not expect Hakala to bring the help to the end."There are only seven of the forty-two sisters left... I also have an inescapable responsibility.If only I could stand firmly on the side of the Nightinge...”
"It's not your fault," said Nightinge sadly, "nobody can predict the future.She looked at the leaves, “You say there are six sisters who survived, where are they?”
"They are waiting for my news at the entrance to the canyon, and we have made an appointment, and if I fail to go back, the book will lead them out of here, or to the far south corner, perhaps to the opposite side of the strait..."
"Then we must hurry to get them back," said the Nightingeon at once, "and I'll go, Wendy, and the leaves will be left to you."
“Wait, what if they don’t believe you?The leaves also had to go, and then call the lightning, she should be practicing flying in the west of the town at this moment.If you take a few more horses, you can let the sisters go a little bit."Wendy said carefully.
“But Prince, isn’t he still sleeping?”The leaves froze, “Don’t you have to ask him?”
"Rest assured," said the Nightinge softly, "if your Highness knows this, it will be too late."
