Sword Sorcery

Chapter 168 Brother and Sister
In front of a lake next to Twilight Town
Huhuhuhu~
A gust of wind blows past, bringing a bit of icy coldness. The dark clouds combined with the off-white weather make people feel like they are in a black and white photo, and the whole world seems to have lost its original color.

There is a large circle of dry trees around the lake. The trees that used to be lush near the water seem to be suffering from a strange disease. Each tree is as thin as firewood, and its branches and leaves are all dead. There is no trace of green in the distance.

The same is true for the lawn on the ground near the lake. The green grass has wilted and there is no sign of luxuriance at all. Gray-black spots appear on the leaves, like age spots on the face of a seriously ill old man.

"This place is really a bit infiltrating, and it's easy to remind me of some not-so-good things."

Aaron couldn't help complaining to Anastasia.

Anastas also looked helpless: "No way, this place is indeed different from other places due to the existence of the 'Magic Mirror Manor'. Sometimes, I tend to regard this place as a rather bad cemetery-it is simply A place where a bunch of dead people stay."

"Fortunately, 'Magic Mirror Manor' is extremely concealed, otherwise, it would have been discovered by the witches sent by the academy to investigate."

Indeed, if 'Mirror Manor' hadn't been extremely concealed, it would have been discovered by the Wizarding Academy long ago, and it would not have been the turn of Aaron and Anastas to come to explore——The situation in Twilight Town is too serious. Like an 'abnormal' area.

It is impossible for the Wizarding Academy to be ignorant of this point, and someone must have reported it.

Therefore, the academy must have sent some wizard students to investigate the situation in Twilight Town.

It's just that these witch apprentices obviously didn't find any clues. They just made a rough investigation and found no reason. In Twilight Town, let alone staying for a year to discover clues.

In addition, there are too many kingdoms under the Wizarding Academy, and it is obvious that Twilight Town is not the only place where there is an abnormal situation, so the matter of Twilight Town has never attracted much attention from the Wizarding Academy.

"That's right, if this ancient relic is discovered by the Wizarding Academy, we will have nothing to do with it."

Aaron agreed, although his true identity is also an academic school, but judging from the situation of his tutor, even if the Wizarding Academy finds something good, it probably won't be the turn of himself and Qiyana—let alone eat it. The meat is gone, and it is estimated that even the soup will not touch the edge.

From this point of view, it is obviously more 'happy' for me to choose to join forces with the wandering wizards and work together to 'steal' the wealth that originally belonged to the Wizarding Academy.
This is obviously a somewhat dangerous and terrible idea, but Aaron does not reject it. However, just as Aaron's thoughts became more and more erratic, an abrupt voice came, interrupting Aaron's thinking——

"Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie"

A male-duck-like smirk came from the shadows behind the two of them.

Aaron couldn't help frowning, because this kind of laughter is too idiotic, like a villain in a TV series who deliberately shows off his cuteness-it has no other purpose except to show how stupid he is.

But before Aaron could speak, the sinister laughter from the shadows turned into a scream——

"Ah~! You hit me on the head again!!!"

"Brother, you are so stupid, I can't control my hand."

At the same time, two thin figures gradually came out from the shadows, they were a man and a woman, and judging from their conversations, they were obviously a pair of brother and sister.

In addition, judging from the mental fluctuations emanating from them, both of them are witches in the 'condensed' state!

But when Aaron saw the faces of the brothers and sisters, his pupils shrank slightly, because their appearance was too 'outstanding' - not outstanding in beauty, but outstanding in another extreme sense!
In terms of facial features, the brothers and sisters belong to the relatively ordinary type of appearance, neither beautiful nor ugly. They look about eighteen or nineteen years old on the outside—the real age is not ruled out. Possibility of over 20 years old.

However, what is striking about them is not the facial features themselves, but the 'absence'.
The boy who is the elder brother has missing left eye, leaving only a black hole, while the girl who is the younger sister has missing right eye, leaving only a black hole.

The two stood side by side, and it looked quite scary considering the fact that they lacked each other's eyes.
"Brother, are you looking at us? Why are you looking at our eyes?"

The younger sister tilted her head, as if she was staring at Aaron with a black hole missing pupils, and asked softly.

"Yes~! Brother, do you also think our eyes are beautiful?"

The elder brother also tilted his head, and stared at Aaron with the only remaining blue eye. Aaron's figure was reflected in his pupil, as well as a handsome face whose expression gradually began to distort.

At the same time, when Aaron looked into the other person's eyes, he felt a faint feeling of dizziness, and immediately felt a chill in his heart, just when he wanted to arouse the "will position" to break the dizziness——

"Enough~!"

At this moment, Anastas, who was beside Aaron, couldn't bear it anymore, and reprimanded the siblings: "Percy, Polly, we have no conflict with you, don't play your tricks in front of me!"

At the same time, Anastas used her mental power to send a message to Aaron——

"Don't look directly at their remaining eye. This group of brothers and sisters got an ancient secret method in the 'Magic Mirror Manor' last time. After each paid the price for one eye, let the remaining eye It has been greatly strengthened, and it can carry out a certain amount of mental interference against the existence of the wizard's strength."

"If we want to deal with them, we have to rely on some visual interference witchcraft to attack them first in order to gain a certain advantage."

Anastas described the characteristics of this group of brothers and sisters with all her heart and soul. It seems that she has been in contact with them for a while, and she is quite clear about their characteristics——

"However, the brothers and sisters are not bad in nature, they are just a little 'naughty', and they won't really have any conflicts with us, and the Magic Mirror Manor is very big and dangerous, maybe we still have time to help each other."

Sure enough, after the group of brothers and sisters heard what Anastas said, the younger sister, Polly, sighed with some regret: "Anasta, so this handsome guy is your companion~ What a pity, originally I I still want to get to know you”

"Now that Anastas has spoken, I won't tease him."

As the elder brother, Percy suddenly panicked, "What? Don't you think he's not bad? Is he better than me?!"

"Because he has a pair of eyes, and you only have one eye."

"But you are also like me, only one eye is left~!"

"It's up to you, I just don't like people with one eye."

"Don't make it sound like you're not a one-eyed dragon!!!"

The siblings soon started to quarrel, causing Aaron to shake his head speechlessly, but Anasta who was next to her blushed a little after hearing Polly's words.
However, Aaron didn't bother to deal with these matters. Just as he was about to find a topic to divert the atmosphere, a figure gradually emerged from the mist——

"Anasta, long time no see."
