Egret

Chapter 17. Witch Hunting

It was a filthy and disgusting story for Sage, who grew up as a noble prince, although he had lived in ruins for the last few years.

“There are a few people who conspired there and barely escaped with their lives. That's one of them. ”

“Are you hungry? ”

“Not really! I saw it. I mean, the real witch. He was tall as a dwarf, and his eyes were omphalanx, and his nose was all alone. Skin looks like an old man, but his lips are as gross as a silver-rapped doll. Oh, yeah. ”

Just as beautiful purple hair.

The last guy who stretched about the ugly appearance of the Holiday Witch once again emphasized it.

“Anyway, be careful. Nothing bad, right? If you don't want to get eaten by wandering around, stay here tonight. No man-eating night witch comes into town. ”

At the end of the day, the group's gaze came to Judas in unison.

The right to decide on future motions rested solely with him.

“Thank you. I'll leave when the day is light, as advised. ”

“Good choice. Stay close to your group while you climb the mountain. The Night Witch is after a lonely human being. Anyway, don't be so scared. ”

That was the end of the story about witches.

They also stood up after collecting some minor rumors about the thaw.

There was only one guest lodge in the small hunter village. This home is always 10,000 won due to the many travelers who travel through the mountains. The hunters who were familiar with the fact did not find an empty room.

Instead, there was a vacancy with a campfire shaved into a grass so that the tents or sleeping bags could be used to attach the eyes themselves.

Hunters used the starry night sky as a blanket and the sound of a bonfire as a lullaby to bury themselves in their sleeping bags and relax.

In the meantime, Judas' group, who became accustomed to homelessness while traveling, naturally settled in the gap.

“Brother.”

Sage looked for my brother with an uncomfortable expression when he fell asleep without a word.

“Can't you sleep? ”

“Yes, what about you? ”

“Hmm. So am I. ”

Judas replied with a small smile.

He glances back at the new bonfire with his chin bent. I saw little fire spirits dancing in it.

“Brother... That horrible rumor. What do you think? Is it real? ”

Eventually Sage got up and sat down on the main island seat.

You know how to pull a sleeping bag and ask a younger brother in a tone where Judas is present.

“The Night Witch? ”

Sage couldn't say yes.

The child became fourteen this year. I was a middle-aged fisherman who couldn't honestly say I was afraid of witch-hunting stories.

Rather, boys who did not grow up tended to find it hard to talk about their hearts.

Judas stares at the embarrassing sage, turning his gaze at the well.

“I don't know. ”

“Yes?”

Even if the identity of the witch was unknown, the expectation that a wise solution would be heard was broken.

Judas opens his mouth calmly again as Sage squirms his eyes.

“Rumors are like shadows. Have you ever seen a shadow show? ”

“Ah, yes. If it's a shadow show, once before..... ”

Shadow performances were common in circuses and festivals.

It creates a lot of entertainment with its eyes, such as playing with shadows and making a big monster look.

It was also popular among the common people because it was possible to demonstrate the show even with simple tools, and the nobles also performed luxurious shadow performances made by mixing magic.

Judas reaches for the bonfire.

A shadow was drawn on the ground, reminiscent of a bird with wings spread out.

“The shadow certainly did not take place following the image of the body. But Sage, can we just look at the shadows and see exactly what they look like? ”

The shadow, which was like a flying bird, twisted its hand a little and looked like a vicious wolf.

Sage shakes his head.

“Similarly, I don't know the nature of the rumor without checking it with my own eyes. That doesn't mean you can't hear the rumors at all. Whatever the rumors, there must be a reason. ”

“If so.”

“I got information that a witch might live on this mountain. He's the only one. I don't know if the witch is really that grumpy, or if she's the cruel Holy Spirit who eats people in boiling cauldrons. ”

Judas clenches his fist a little with a handful of jokes.

A green breeze rushes through the gap and glitters like a Milky Way.

“So let's go meet him. ”

Sage, who was staring at the sight, woke up.

“Ah? Yes? Who?”

“Who's the protagonist of the rumors? ”

“You mean you're going to see a witch? ”

“Because the day is bright. Now get some sleep. ”

The Spirit of Wind must have already figured out the way.

Sage did not say she was scared, and she nodded and rolled to eat the winter weep.

The rest of the group who were watching the conversation with Brother Zamzako closed their eyes with the face they wanted to see.

It was they who ran horses without even riding the portal to scour the people.

If there are bad rumors or problems that people are experiencing, I will go and look at them deliberately.

Others struggled to avoid it, but no one complained about it.

Besides, everyone wasn't very impressed with witches.

Even Baikal, who was afraid of ghosts to become an adult, snorted about witches and disgusting monsters.

I crawled into my sleeping bag alone and was captivated by all sorts of imaginations.

She ended up eating poison soup that day and sleeping in a nightmare chased by a witch because she had lost weight in tosiltosil.

After a long night, the group moved diligently as soon as the blue dawn dawned.

The sky in the mountains leading east was pale amber with misty water. The sun was not completely up, but the clouds looked black.

Shortly after they left the hunter village, the sun began to seep through the clouds floating round like a signet bridge.

The harmony of dark tall trees, cozy temperatures, and dawn skies brightening with subtle colors created an atmosphere that was extremely ordinary, but unusual, in contrast to the landscape of the Empire.

“I should leave my horse at this point. ”

The horses stopped in one section while following Uni's delivery.

At first, the green wind, which led to the mountains on the mountain trail, came up high and broke into an exhausted forest without a path.

It's a slope, but the increasingly dense vegetation and rugged terrain have reached a point where horses can't run.

A group of countless people divided their heads by that.

I couldn't just hang the horses, so I needed someone to take care of them safely. The role included selecting a call that dealt with the finest spirits and decided to stay with the majority of the knights.

Behind Judas, Sage, and three men who always move like a team, followed by a healer and two prosecutors.

Over there, over there!

Uni, who was in charge of the proper guiding role, energized the direction.

Edan took the lead and cut down the bushes and branches in front of him. Even so, it was a leaf, and all kinds of grass leaves cling from head to toe.

After a while, other challenges await them instead of the bushes.

A vibrator with a head along the direction in which the green air flow shines scratched the ball.

“I can't knock unless I'm an aptitude. ”

The castle of the Borat Witch floated above the sky.

Exactly five trees were entangled in the ice machine, serving as a crucible. A castle shaped like a sand castle sits like a new nest on a branch of a tree.

It was so high that when I saw it below, it looked magnificent, but when I tore it apart, it was as small as a toy.

It was just right for one person to live.

Even after he had sewn five trees together and built a house on them, it seemed that the foam he had built on the void was still close without stairs or ladders.

They once approached under that strange architecture.

There's a place called "Witch's Castle." Oh, but she's not there right now.

"Oops? You're not here to see a witch? What's the point of witchless castles?

Tony, who was stretched like a reed over the contractor's head, flies up and circles around the Witch's Castle.

Uni put her hands on her waist and was very generous.

What Igret asked you to find is not a witch, but a witch's castle. Of course, the witch is close by here, so it doesn't make any difference.

“If the owner is absent, you should be polite as a guest and wait. ”

Judas calms down Uni, who is ready to start guiding the witch again immediately, and looks around.

It was a really remote location. The witch's castle was very far from the path that people were walking through.

I didn't even organize the perimeter. I felt like I was hiding on purpose.

“But the more I look at it, the more suspicious it is. Did they build houses in these creepy places to secretly eat people? ”

Sage murmurs through the castle of a witch built on a tree.

I felt creepy when I looked at the purple paint that covered the building without losing sight of it because it was high.

“Purple is also called the color of madness...... ”

“It's a bad habit to be biased by color, Sage. ”

Judas lightly pointed out his brother's unreasonable point of view and approached the building with trees.

Unlike normal trees, they grew up twisted and twisted like swirls from the base.

It was a good form to support heavy architecture.

‘It doesn't seem like a species like this. Did you deliberately make her grow up like this? But it's not the power of the spirit. ’

There was no way he wouldn't recognize it if the spirit energy was mixed.

Judas examines the twisted and twisted wooden columns with his fingertips.

At that moment, Tony walks around the twinkle tree and shouts to God.

"That's it!

“Huh...? ”

"That, that.

"This is so frustrating. So what is it? Tell me something straight. Igrett is embarrassed.

Uh-uh? What did he say? It looks a lot like us. Born from the fruit of a tree!

Tony shook his arm with a frustrating face. Then Uni looked frustrated.

I know what it is, but it was a tragedy owing to the rarely remembered name of the clan.

The two spirits roared together with different kinds of frustration.

Carney, who was hanging on Judas' shoulders watching the situation, opened her mouth for a few minutes.

Do you mean "pixie"?

"Yes! It's Pixida!

What, me again. Are you talking about a fairy pixie? I forgot it because it was too old. Yes, they can. They were born out of trees in the first place.

UNIDO sympathized with him by pushing his palms down. Then I tilted my head.

Uh? Hold still. But wasn't Pixie extinct a long time ago? I know that.
