Chapter 38

"silver……"

Ji Zhixu repeated involuntarily.

As an experienced hunter who has been in the world of extraordinary people for a long time, she certainly knows this legend.

In the ancient kingdom, before giants, elves and ancient dragons were born, there were only four extremely powerful witches in the still chaotic world.

The original four witches.

Silver is in charge of snow, life is in charge of fire, Vapujis is in charge of night, and Phraxinus is in charge of trees.

They separated the boundary between dreams and reality, and built a high wall of mist that surrounded the entire Azir, protecting people inside the wall from the infestation of dream beasts.

But they are too powerful, even powerful enough to be frightening.

The creatures that used to cling to them when they were weak, after being lucky enough to gain the power to open their eyes, were afraid of seeing a part of them, and fled from their wings one after another.

When the kingdom of elves disappears, witches who are increasingly alienated gradually fall asleep in dreams, and people's beliefs have also shifted.

For example, the Plague Church, which believes in the fog of the high wall, has removed the original witches from their faith.

Their current doctrine believes that the cause of the fog on the high wall has nothing to do with witches.

It is the real ancient thing, the oracle and the divine punishment that existed before the birth of the witch.

Even the appointment-seekers of Vapujis Night have long deviated from their original intentions and turned into a pure organization dominated by elves and witches that mainly provides protection for extrahuman creatures.

As the Church of Truth is to scholars, the Tower of Mysteries is to knights.

Therefore, Ji Zhixu was very surprised that the elf in front of him was actually looking for the original witch.

She frowned: "Why here? Nuojin is a completely developed city, and the ether monitoring network of the Truth Society has basically achieved full coverage. It is impossible for there to be enough dreams to accommodate the original witch."

The biggest dream gap now should be the dream where the dream beast that is about to be born because of the magic mirror egg is located.

But it couldn't be a witch's dream.

To get out of the dream, the primordial witch only needs one thought, and the magic mirror egg is completely superfluous.

"Oh..." Doris showed a distressed expression: "I don't know, that's what the sage predicted. The instruction she received was that the great lady Baiyin who controls Frost Snow will be here in Nuojin. A city of iron casts down dreams to those who are favored by the stars."

She stretched out her finger and nodded her head: "You know, these prophetic poems are always vague, and I don't know what nonsense they are talking about."

Ji Zhixu couldn't help but nodded: "Indeed."

She lifted the quilt, sat on the edge of the bed and stretched her muscles a little.

"So, how long do you plan to stay here, a place like Nuo Jin, where fish and dragons are mixed, is not safe for elves."

"And you should be able to feel it, the abnormal situation here now."

Ji Zhixu whispered, pointing outside.

Doris stood up and said with a smile: "You mean the heavy rain? It's okay, I have a high tolerance for harsh environments, so it's no problem at all."

Ji Zhixu said with a complex expression: "No, it's not..."

She didn't know what to say for a while.

Because of the particularity of the egg of the magic mirror, the powerful magic power to seduce people's hearts, and the ability to create a powerful dream beast under special conditions.

It's very, very dangerous and inviting to watch.

Therefore, secrecy before the incident is necessary, otherwise the situation will become even more out of hand.

NUO had closed the external passages a few days ago, and prohibited foreign vehicles and personnel from entering due to the abnormal weather.

The elf in front of him must have come in before it rained, and it is understandable that he didn't understand the situation.

But how could an elf who came to look for what he once believed in be persuaded to leave so easily.

Ji Zhixu could only remind him as seriously as possible: "In short, it's best not to go out these few days. The current situation is very dangerous."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Doris nodded, then laughed and said, "Obviously you seem to be in a much more dangerous situation than me, so why are you here to persuade me?"

Ji Zhixu reached out and touched himself while the red diamond-shaped earrings, iron-gray eyes full of determination, stroked his chest and said: "Because I am a hunter, I stare at the abyss and turn it into an abyss. On every night when the bonfire is lit, for the good It is my duty to hunt the beasts so that they can sleep peacefully."

"The strength of a hunter is never for his own strength."

The more you fight, the more you wander between life and death.

The more she can understand what the owner of the bookstore has given her.

The power to control the blood of that mad beast taught her humility.

A will of steel endows her with unyielding faith.

She no longer has the slightest bit of confusion.

Following in the footsteps of Mr. Lin will be her only wish in the future.

Doris was a little taken aback, then smiled, and said softly: "You let me see your ancestors, this is the meaning of the existence of hunters, from ancient times to the present."

Ji Zhixu vaguely felt that the tone of this sentence was not right, and his expression moved slightly.

Doris sniffed the air suddenly, and frowned: "Oh no, my soup!"

Ji Zhixu turned around and fiddled with the pot and shovel, looking like an elf like a newlywed lady, but felt that it was his own illusion.

She was really tired.

The air is filled with the slightly burnt aroma of bone broth, spices and chunks of cooked meat mixed together to form a mouth-watering signal.

Doris came over with a large bowl of hot thick soup and put it on the table, took off her apron and said with a smile, "Come and try, the fresh and delicious dog meat soup specially prepared for patients."

Under her apron is a very elf-style white robe, which makes her look sacred and elegant, and her broad chest symbolizes the benevolence of the elves.

If she added a garland, she could make this humble rental house look like a forest full of birds and flowers.

But... dog meat?

Although elves are not vegetarians, forest hunters are not joking, but dog meat is a bit too exaggerated.

Ji Zhixu walked over to sit down with some hesitation, filled a bowl with a spoon, took a sip, his eyes lit up, and praised: "It's very delicious."

Doris propped her chin, smiled, and said, "I am very confident in my cooking skills, and the ingredients are very fresh, and they have just been delivered to my door."

"But having said that... Since you are a local hunter of Nuojin, you must know a lot about this place. Since it is not convenient to go out during this period of time, as a reward, I hope you can provide me with some clues."

Ji Zhixu had already finished drinking a bowl at this time, nodded and said: "This is the best... But to be honest, my current situation is indeed very dangerous, and I may not be able to provide you with much help."

She paused and said, "However, when the rain stops, you can go to the bookstore on 23rd Street and ask the owner there, maybe he can give you the answer you want."

Doris blinked her eyes and said, "That's again..."

Ji Zhixu respected from the bottom of his heart: "He is the person I swear allegiance to, and he is a great man who spread the gospel to the world. Although I have not been able to get a glimpse of him so far, his omniscience is comparable to a god."
