Lolala responded to my concerns with a tone and look that was much firmer than I had expected.
"My family is actually a family of hunters. We have lived in the mountains since my great-grandfather's generation. My parents are also well-known hunters. When I was a child, I often went into the mountains to hunt with them."
"The daughter of a hunter family became a bard..."
"When I was six years old, there was an avalanche in the area where our cabin was located. My parents were out at the time, and I was left alone at home. I was buried under the rubble before I could react. Just when I was about to lose consciousness, someone reached out to help me."
“Is that person the God?”
"Well... to be honest, she didn't introduce herself, but the power that made the snow turn into green leaves in an instant and made the broken wood sprout new buds again must be a miracle! She rescued me from the ruins and held me in her arms until others found me. I was deeply impressed by her body temperature... Although you may find it strange to say this, I smelled it at that time..."
She scratched her face a little embarrassedly, as if she suddenly lost confidence in what she said.
"The breath of God... or something..."
"..."
Mr. Renault and Lawrence looked at each other, and seeing her like this, Liz recalled the words of someone.
"Liz, gods do have breath."
The figure flashed by, and Ye Qing seized the opportunity to take a screenshot.
"Right!"
Lolala agreed with Liz, and the glass of milk and the glass of milk alcoholic beverage gently clinked in the air.
"In fact, this is also the reason why I left my hometown and started traveling. I want to see the gods again and smell that breath again."
The corners of her mouth curled up into a smile, and her eyes staring at the glass in her hand seemed to be looking somewhere further away.
Snapped!
Suddenly, a strange sound came from Lolala's body and her whole body flew backwards.
Renault quickly reached out and grabbed Lolala's arm, but the next moment he was also stunned.
He stared blankly at his hand, which was holding a forearm. The fair skin was rapidly turning dull, like the color of wood.
And at the end of the forearm, there is clearly a circular wooden joint!
I don't know how long it had been, but word spread in the village that the people were puppets made by a witch.
Not only Lolala, but also other villagers turned into puppets later, and then more and more people turned into puppets, leaving only the children.
The children were a little panicked at first, but with the help of the library and the guidance of older children, they started their lives again.
The wheels moved forward with difficulty on the gray-white gravel, but thanks to the excellent shock absorption mechanism, the passengers on it did not feel much of a bumpy ride.
Although it is shaped like a carriage, there is no horse in front of it. Instead, it moves forward relying on the huge spring at the end of the carriage.
Inside the car, the black-haired maid held a teacup and asked:
"So, the first group of puppets you made were adults, but they no longer believed in you because of the demon king's invasion?"
"Well, the technology is not mature enough. Those people are still puppets and lack the necessary emotions and curiosity. So I decided to create those adventurers and tourists who come and go in the second batch. This way, the children will have a future."
"Congratulations, you succeeded."
Alice smiled sincerely.
"Well, Xixi is really a good kid."
Liz ate the cherry tomatoes on the plate one by one.
"But I still don't understand..." Alice tilted her head, "Why should we leave? Why don't you tell them the truth?"
"It doesn't matter. Witches are a thing of the past era. Let's just let the dispute that has nothing to do with the new humans go. The new era needs new people, doesn't it?"
"As for why you want to leave... you see."
Liz brought over a flowerpot, which contained the cherry tomatoes that Luna had brought back. New fruits had grown on the plant after just a few days of absence.
What is even more eye-catching is that the soil at the bottom of the flowerpot is actually the grayish-white gravel that can be seen everywhere around us.
"It seems that there are still many things in this world waiting for us to explore. If we stay in our huts and don't come out, won't we be the same as those villagers who have no curiosity?"
"I'm sorry, I don't understand your curiosity—"
"Stop," Liz smiled and shook her head, extending her index finger to the center of Alice's lips.
"You just asked a lot of whys, didn't you?"
"Eh--"
Alice was stunned for a long while, and seemed to have finally figured something out, and the corners of her mouth gradually curled up.
She placed the cup filled with green liquid in front of Liz and poured herself another cup.
"Miss, please."
Liz took the teacup and drank it all.
"Ah - although it's still bitter, drinking a sip of bitter melon juice on a hot day is quite refreshing."
The wheels creaked as they carried the master and servant toward the grayish-white distance.
No one knows what happened next.
However, the people who originally thought they were the only survivors in the world began to explore far away.
People gradually discovered that in some corners of this dead world, there were small but vibrant oases just like their own hometowns.
People started connecting and communicating.
People were surprised to find that in every settlement, there was a legend of a "witch". She sometimes brought disaster, sometimes spread blessings, was sometimes regarded as evil, and sometimes saved lives.
People also discovered that the witch always brought a bright red fruit that could turn the grayish-white land back into fertile black soil.
Chapter 76 Original Sin
ps: Thank you for the tip from Xiaoju Youyi. I will update three more chapters tomorrow~
As the plot developed to this point, Ye Qing naturally understood more or less what Liz meant by "romance".
Although she is a witch, she deeply loves humans. She has power but does not spoil humans.
Grant knowledge, provide shelter, and finally give the courage to go into the unknown.
It can be said that Leeds has considered all possibilities for mankind and trained those children to become people who can grow up on their own.
But the question is, if this is the case, what is it that Leeds can't let go of that would lead to this task?
Soon, the scene before Ye Qing answered this question.
After decades away, Leeds is back here again.
At this moment, she had completely lost her previous composure, and her robe was stained with blood, making her look like she had just been through a battle.
Ye Qing, who was standing next to her, naturally noticed that the sleeve on Liz's right side was also empty.
"Why......"
Liz trembled, looking at the village that had been completely burned by the flames, and was speechless for a moment.
The once prosperous village was now reduced to a scorched earth. Liz walked in somewhat dazed, looking around for any survivors.
But she also knew in her heart that almost no living creature would survive after being burned by the hellfire.
Even if the soul reaches her level, it may not be able to stop the burning of the karma fire, let alone those who are just ordinary humans?
The bustling taverns have been razed to the ground, and the spacious village ancestral hall has long disappeared.
She slowly came to the lakeside, and the library that had once been built on the mountain was now only filled with remaining books.
“Why…why!!!”
Izzy fell to her knees, her hands clenched into her hair, tears and blood streaming from her eyes.
"If it was after the Four Kingdoms and before the Blade of Sorrow..."
Ye Qing was also thinking about what kind of situation Izzy was facing now.
The devil's coming seems to be without any rules, and he comes purely for the purpose of killing.
But in fact, every time the devil comes, he is planning for something.
It’s a pity that until Ye Qing’s death, he didn’t know what this matter was.
"It should be when the Demon King Leviathan appears? There should be a lot of transformed humans there."
Thinking of those humans infected by Leviathan, they are considered to be quite twisted existences among the devil's followers.
Those weird creatures couldn't even be called human beings, which made Ye Qing feel quite disgusted.
What happened next made Ye Qing stunned.
As Liz knelt on the ground in pain, the nun with one eye covered slowly walked behind Liz.
Her voice was cold, and her right hand, which was shining with a strange light, slowly raised up.
"Back then, you were so close to the Demon King. Did you ever think that you would end up like this?!"
The next moment, the nun pounced fiercely on Liz who was kneeling on the ground.
At this moment, the light of memories suddenly enveloped Ye Qing.
Late at night, the witch lady, who had finally managed to soothe the Sister of Original Sin into a deep sleep, walked out of the tent.
This is the fiftieth year since she left the village. The revival of mankind has made them powerful again, and at the same time, the war with the Demon King has begun again.
"Lady Holy Witch, it was my fault that I didn't recognize you at the first moment." When the knight captain who was keeping watch by the campfire saw Miss Witch coming out of the tent, he knelt on one knee and begged for forgiveness.
Holy Witch, I haven't heard this title for a long time, maybe about a hundred or eighty years.
Miss Witch sighed.
"Forget it. I have been in seclusion for many years. It is really too difficult for you young men to recognize me just by a portrait circulated in the church." The witch lady sighed. She hated the cumbersome and complicated etiquette of the church. The paladins were all stubborn and stubborn. If she did not acknowledge herself, the knight captain in front of her might not let her go.
"Sister, is she asleep?"
Miss Witch nodded.
"Are you leaving then?"
Miss Witch nodded again.
"Before you go, can I ask you something?"
"Go ahead." Miss Witch glanced at him. She probably guessed what the question was.
"This time when we go to war with the Demon King, the entire human race will inevitably be dragged into it. So will you stand on our side?"
"Do you remember what I once said to your archbishop?"
The witch lady's lips trembled slightly. The moment she heard the question, she became angry, but in order not to wake up the sleeping Sister of Original Sin, she could only suppress her anger.
"Never...never try to force the witch, and don't use justice as an excuse to shirk your responsibilities."
The captain of the Paladins answered with a slightly trembling voice. He felt the murderous intent from the witch. In front of that pressure, he was just an ant. Being able to stand and answer the witch's questions was probably the last mercy she gave him.
The first rule is never to mess with a witch.
These were the last words he could think of when facing death.
"That's good to know. Take good care of this Sister of Original Sin. If you find out that someone in the capital is bullying her, I will take over the entire capital." After saying that, the witch turned around and disappeared into the night.
"Yes..." Before the Paladin Captain could answer, the witch lady had disappeared, leaving him alone in a cold sweat. He was trembling as he survived the disaster, trembling with joy that he was lucky that he did not die because of his slip of the tongue.
At this moment, the option appeared in front of Ye Qing.
select:
Secret assistance/walking away
There was no time to pause this time. In the short period of less than five seconds, thoughts flashed through Ye Qing's mind quickly.
The nun just now was obviously dissatisfied with Liz, as if Liz had done something to make her become like that.
Considering Liz's previous attitude and the war between humans and the Demon King, the answer seems to be obvious!
At the last moment, Ye Qing quickly clicked on the option to assist secretly, and Liz, who was deep in the forest in front of him, also moved quickly.
After all, she was still worried about the outcome of this war, even if humanity revived and became stronger.
He crushed the magic crystal in his hand, and a portal suddenly appeared in the dark forest.
