Egret

Chapter 17. Witch Hunting

A fairy pixie.

It is now an ancient species known to have been extinct at the time the legendary remaining dragons left for the Dragon Warrior. Tendency is similar to a natural system spirit, but differs in that it is born in the flesh, unlike a spiritual spirit.

Pixie is a peaceful and tranquil species. They hated killing themselves so much that they could not even tolerate the medicinal herbivores that occur by ecological laws.

I left because I was sensitive to blood and death, but I couldn't stand a little quarrel.

When blood touched his body, his whole body was bitten red like a burning tree, and he died of a fever and shock.

So Pixie is born only from a tree that grows in a land that has been kept pure for centuries without anyone spilling blood.

The surroundings of the trees should be quiet and free of threats and clear water flowed. It turns out that birthing conditions are difficult, so it is very rare for a tree to open a fiction.

Bas-Rak.

At that time, someone went through the bushes across the street and revealed themselves.

It was a small woman with a black robe named Sakaman who hummed her snout.

I think it's him.

"Hmm, it's definitely different. Fashion-senses are incredibly difficult.

One foot was shorter than Sage, which is still growing.

The body is so small, but the robe that it is wrapped around is so wide and large that it flutters like a flag every time it moves. There was an accessory and the skull necklace on my neck was rattled.

He also had a big, silly hat on his head to cover his face. It was not a man clothed, but a man swallowed up.

The only hair that has been braided lengthwise along the shoulder line is purple, which is as vivid as a pancake flower.

I was the landlord who came back with no idea that people would come to me.

Showing up with a sack of flour and chocolate in her arms, she raises her head toward the sky with a face as proud as a farmer who worked in sweat.

“Ah, what a beautiful world to feel sweet in! ”

“ ……. ”

Everyone's gaze converged towards her, who was soaked in her own admiration, knowing that no one was there.

Sage, who was so nervous, raised her finger with a trembling face.

“Perhaps the witch of the night...? ”

“Phew!”

The witch who was enjoying the sunlight that leaked through the branches in a tranquil attitude was astonished.

I dropped and rolled down the sack I was holding in the wind.

A sack full of these and unable to open the entrance fell on the floor, scattering all kinds of ingredients.

Flour, cheese chunks, chocolate, and candy grains roll over the grass.

“Why, why here. ”

The witch hurriedly bowed her head and retreated from the pot.

"Why are there so many people in front of you? No one's ever been here before! ’

It's my first time in my life, so I twisted my head into a mess.

As soon as I saw Judas's group, a stiff, hardened witch began to step back.

Edan opened his mouth first to the frightened and joyous witch.

“Wait……. ”

“What? He's running away! ”

The witch starts running around before they even talk to Moora.

Even on a mountain full of bushes, she runs like a weasel.

‘I'm scared.’

Man hates her.

Whoever saw her face now ran away screaming. I didn't have to do anything.

People called her a witch and hostile. Some even tried to kill him.

‘If it wasn't for tonight, it would have been better. ’

If I had, I might not have escaped like I am now.

She had two faces.

The face of the sun and the face of the moon.

They asked me to judge her, and the attitude of those who treated her changed. No matter what happened to the bright low, I had to stop showing up in front of people.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

The witch manipulates the tree to grow branches and leaves, then hides herself in between.

You can't create oil from nothing, but at least every plant, from seed form to beautifully vegetated legumes, followed her orders, the fairies.

There was no one who could find her hiding in the botanical niches like Camelot.

The witch, who had been killing her breath for a while, sighed a little when no one followed her.

“Haah, what the hell is this? ”

I was so surprised that my heart was beating.

It was the first time a person came to visit her house, but I thought about it and regretted it a little.

‘They don't sound like bad people. ’

I had a weapon, but I didn't pull it out towards her.

The witch hesitated to sit down and murmured, holding my knee.

“Maybe I should have heard the story..... ”

“You must be very surprised. ”

“You're not surprised, are you? ”

From when it was, someone was with her.

“Argh!”

The witch is surprised to wake up and loses her balance and kicks her ass.

Of course, his buttocks became dirt as his clumsy hands laid on the floor to balance.

The palpitations froze the palm of my hand.

“Calm down. We're not here to hurt you. ”

One hand slowly reached out before her eyes.

As he looked up along his hand, he encountered a warm glowing golden eye.

‘It's like a jewel. ’

The dumb witch hesitates for a moment and stands up with her hand in her hand.

Judas, who pulled his hand firmly and raised it, even shaved the dirt from her palms like a child.

Pixie's instincts are excellent at distinguishing between threatening and non-threatening. Judas was, in her view, far from a threat at all.

Rather, I felt the fear subsided and my mind calmed.

The witch who abandoned the idea of fleeing asked carefully.

“Who are you? ”

“It's called Judas. I was on my way to thaw in the Lubarzan Empire. ”

“So, why are you here? How did you get here? Are you lost? ”

Judas calmly stares at the witch. Then she lightly tossed her head into the throne of the right-hand man.

“I'm not lost, I'm here to see you. ”

“Me, me...? ”

It was the first time anything had happened.

Someone comes home, sees himself during the day, screams, doesn't run away or attack, and all the warm touches that make him feel like he's soothing a child right now.

The witch looked at him with stupidity. Judas adds with a small smile.

“Honey, when you first meet someone, you first introduce them to their name. ”

“ ……. ”

“What's your name? ”

What is "……. ”

The girl who introduced herself as Ranra looked at Judas on the heels. Fortunately, it wasn't the color I hated at all.

“Yes, Lana. Suddenly he came to surprise me. I'm sorry."

It was true that he was surprised, but Lan thought it was a pity to run away from people who had done nothing.

"Look! Pixie's right!

"Yes, that's right.

In the meantime, Tony flies to Ran and hovers around.

Uni once accepted, but flew after Tony with suspicious eyes.

But it's a little weird somewhere…… What is it?

Ran felt a clear and clean energy near the door and shouted at the resilience of enlightenment.

“Awesome.”

“Huh?”

“You were the spiritual king's sorcerer, right? ”

Unlike humans, Pixie was familiar with natural world spirits.

If I didn't materialize it, I couldn't see it like ordinary people, but at least I read about the energy or power that spirits hold.

Lan looks at him with a very curious eye.

“Actually, I've never seen the Spirit King in my life. I wanted to say something because I felt something familiar and powerful. ”

In general, it was difficult to know the actual Spirit Rating unless the magician revealed it himself.

Ran quickly discarded the fact that even the Imperial grade spiritists had not noticed.

Judas stares down at her in surprise.

‘Nymph Pixie. I heard it's a species close to nature. You're really good at reading Spirit Energy. ’

Lan, who had awkwardly placed his hand on his head as he looked at him without a word, only later realized that his hat had been taken off. I got tired of her blushing face.

“Argh.”

Lan during the day was a crucial figure for people to be called a witch.

The omphage eyes were close to each other and the skin was as rough as crocodile hide. The long ears were swollen without a cheek, with a protruding bulge. The nails were as long as animals and the teeth were tapered. In the meantime, she was as tall as a ten-year-old girl.

Lan coldly picks up the black hat that was falling off the floor.

The big, silly hat was not worn on the head, but to cover the ugly face.

“Are you sure I'm okay? ”

“Well, that must be amazing. ”

Judas nods his head at Lan, who presses his hat hard.

“I never thought I'd be able to read the spiritual energy without materializing it. It's amazing."

“No, no! It's not like that. ”

“ ……? ”

Faced with a slack face that seemed to ask if there was anything else to be surprised about, Ran lowered his head and muttered.

“So I'm gross or scary or something like that. ”

“ ……. ”

“Ah. You can't be afraid of the spiritual king's sorcerer. ”

Judas smiles awkwardly as he looks at Lan, who concludes desperately on his own.

“Oh, my gosh, should I be afraid? ”

“Is it really okay? Really?"

“What?”

Lan flinches his shoulders at the voice calling her softly but decisively.

“Ugh.”

“You're not a scary kid. ”

It was amazing. Everyone called her "witch" or "monster."

There has never been a single person who approached me without hesitation and called me by name and treated me like a normal child.

Even if you saved someone who was lost and wandering the mountains, who was trembling in the cold and hunger, the result was the same.

Ran remained silent in a strange mood.

Glug Glug

The trees and grasses that were hiding her returned to their original state. It was because Lan stopped hiding himself.

Lan jumped out of the bush.

“But I'm not a baby. ”

Judas walked behind her.

After a winter of excitement, Ran began to roar as he returned home.

“Just fifty years this year. It's been a while since I was born in a tree. ”

The lifespan of the Ancient Pixie is unknown. But I was sure that I would live a different life than humans.

“Fifty years. You did.”

Even on Lan's side, Judas simply laughed.

After encountering his attitude that was neither surprising nor difficult, Ran looked at him with confused eyes.

‘Strange man. ’

Anyway, after more than ninety years of living in his former life, he seemed to be a 50-year-old baby.
