◎Let me give you God's blessing. ◎
There was a dead silence in the room, as if some silent spell had taken away the sound in an instant, leaving only the brazier still crackling and burning, spitting out a few golden-red sparks from time to time, and then flickering and falling.
The witch suddenly burped and shook the empty wine glass in her hand.
"The inspiration is good, let's have another drink!" Her cheeks were pretty and her green eyes were as bright as wildfire. The alarmist prediction before seemed to be just a drunken joke.
Dill simply handed her his wine glass, but she was not even in the mood to take a sip.
"I said you are a moon witch after all. Death and mystery are also one of the powers of the moon god. Light and darkness are two parts of the moon. You can't escape the dark side of the moon all your life."
Yi Na was mumbling something, but she took the wine glass and drank half of it herself.
"I didn't escape." Dill told herself that the person in front of her was a mysterious witch, not a drunken witch talking nonsense. She must maintain respect and humility...
The witch burped again: "Then you don't believe me."
"I believe my lady."
"Yes, believe in the person who loves you, and then be hurt all over by love."
The red-haired witch bit into an apple slice and chewed it carefully, as if she was reminiscing about something:
"The only thing in the world is more terrifying than death. At least death ends the moment the body is destroyed, but love is a curse deeply imprinted on the soul and eternal torture. Little witch, you haven't lived long enough. , the injuries were not enough."
She is drunk. Dill regretted handing her the wine.
The incense in the house was so strong that it made people breathless. Dill knew that the Green Fairy loved herbs.
Some bold witches also like to burn some intoxicating and hallucinogenic spices, and then get drunk with harvest fruit wine to increase the inspiration for using magic. Of course, in the end, they are often too hot and unbearable, and are carried to the pond to sober up, and Perun does it It's like soaking yourself in a barrel of wine for a whole day.
Ina seemed to think that was not enough. After finishing two glasses of mulled wine, she started to tiptoe through the bottles and jars, licking her mouth from time to time. She looked like a greedy cat who was not satisfied. Dill was afraid that she would lose her balance and fall and hurt herself, so she plucked up the courage to pull her and sit on the rattan mat.
Dill used her cupboard to make a cup of hangover tea made with milk thistle. Yi Na curled her lips and was very uncooperative. Each of these great witches has a weirder temper than the last, and is more like a child than a child. Fortunately, Dill has more than ten years of experience in dealing with this situation.
The girl said angrily: "Madam, I don't want anything to happen to you after I leave, okay?"
Yi Na then took the tea cup and took a few sips reluctantly.
Dill tried to lean her against the wall, but noticed that there were other hollows dug in the wooden wall, not big or deep, probably only enough space for four fingers to grasp, extending upward one after another, like ladders...
Dill looked up unconsciously, and saw that the ceiling should be dark, where candlelight could not reach. The boundless darkness was like a bottomless pit in the sky. Maybe this tree house had second and third floors. Floor, fourth floor...until you can touch the top of Yunxia's tree?
The ancient tree looks towering from the outside, but maybe the inside looks like a tower leading to the sky. Just like the mismatched green fairy in front of me, each witch has her own secret.
Dill saw Yi Na still in a daze, and a bold idea suddenly flashed in her mind. The girl wrapped her hands behind her back and quietly took out the bronze telescope from the cupboard.
She just wanted to confirm the identity of this great witch. She had obviously heard of the name Yi Na, but she couldn't remember it. The other party said that she had many names, Yi Na was just one of them, and maybe it wasn't her real name at all.
Thinking this way, Dill licked her mouth nervously, like a mouse trying to eat the cheese in the jar. The temptation of truth is so sweet.
She seemed to be wiping her telescope unintentionally, then suddenly raised it-
Total darkness.
Dill thought she was looking at the wrong place, and was about to take off the telescope, but the thing in her hand was welded, and she couldn't put it down, as if the other end was being held by someone─
"Little witch, when you are spying on others, others are also watching you."
The dark sight ignited a green wildfire. The woman's eyes were not drunk at all, and her magic power was burning in them. Dill did not feel the slightest bit of fear. Instead, she was like a moth attracted by the firelight. He actually forgot to look away and let the light in his eyes guide him.
It is also green beyond ordinary people, Amber is like solid green, but Ina is like a whole burning forest. Those eyes were as beautiful as Amber's, and even more beautiful.
"This is a kind of magical spying. Monsters are very sensitive to prying eyes. When you look at them, you will expose yourself."
Yi Na reminded her softly, and Dill suddenly thought of Mucha. Maybe the other party saw through her the moment she picked up the telescope.
"Your journey is still long, and I'm looking forward to it. Don't let me down."
Dill's head began to feel dizzy. She tried hard to see the other person clearly, but she only had time to see those burning eyes.
Yi Na didn't seem to notice her abnormality and said to herself: "As for the werewolf, the witch's curse has been lifted. He will soon sense the brand and come to you. As long as you come in contact, the lost memory will gradually be restored." ."
The girl closed her eyes and fell to the ground softly. Upon seeing this, her familiar immediately flapped its wings to attack. Ina only glanced at it, and the big white goose tilted its neck and immediately fell asleep.
"When you've had enough fun, let him go."
I don't know who the voice was overlapping, as if it was echoing in the dome of the forest. Yi Na looked up at the darkness above and smiled narrowly: "I'm not playing. I like her very much. She can actually force me to use magic." ."
"So fond of leaking oracles casually? If she was just an ordinary witch without divinity, she would have become deaf and crazy."
"Isn't she not deaf? She didn't become blind when she looked directly into my eyes."
Although she was clearly exposing the cold and cruel facts, the red-haired witch seemed to be very interested: "She is the first witch I have encountered who has divinity. In time, she may become a demigod."
The voice took a long time to say: "Jima, you are unique, and so is she. You can't have her. This girl is very smart. She didn't believe your words. The oracle couldn't restrain her. She was also aware of my existence."
"Alas~~but I really like her."
The green eyes exuded dazzling magic power, and the demigod witch revealed her true appearance that could not be witnessed by mortals.
"Little Dill, let me give you God's blessing."
She kissed her forehead.
"You must live. Come to my island with your wolf. I will prepare a feast waiting for you."

Dill woke up on horseback, with the big white goose in her arms. She seemed to have fallen asleep on the road... On the road? What is she going to do?
Behind her were the woods covered with dense fog. Dill looked at the woods blankly. She suddenly felt something heavy hanging on her finger. When she lowered her head, she saw that it was an emerald ring. The rich green in it was like a precipitated landscape. She Sure enough, I forgot something... Green... Green Emerald City, by the way! She agreed to Mrs. Leicester's invitation!
The girl looked at the sunset that was about to sink below the horizon and hurriedly urged the horse forward.
Dill remembered the path pointed by the shepherd. She came to the Oak Barrel Market, which was the busiest town in Green Valley River. Large barrels of aged fruit wine were sold every day. Each oak barrel was brewed in the upper reaches of Green Valley River. As the Junli River downstream flows into various places, red wine is distributed along the bay to various cities in the south, hence the name Red Wine Bay.
The Leicester family of Green Emerald City is the ruler of the Green Valley River. Dill heard the wine sellers call the head of the Leicester family the barrel king because his waistline is as thick as the barrel, and he is very fond of wine and money. So does craving.
Dill also heard news about Lester's daughter's family. She heard that he had three budding daughters, each one as sweet as a first-ripe fruit. Among them, the eldest daughter, Rosalie, was already preparing to get married.
With the wife's token, Dill thought that entering the city would be a simple matter. But as soon as she entered the town, the air was filled with the strong and mellow aroma of wine, and everyone was spitting out the smell of alcohol when talking, but she felt inexplicably nauseated, as if she smelled some inferior and corrupt perfume.
Dill began to feel dizzy and extremely uncomfortable.
At least today, she didn't want to drink at all.
"Are you okay, Miss?"
An arm helped the girl in time, saving her from falling off the horse.
Dill sat upright and lowered her head to thank the man. The two pairs of eyes met and instantly froze in the middle.
"Dill?"
"!"
