The wind and snow gradually stopped, and the witch looming in the wind and snow slowly revealed her posture

Under the light of the leading lamp, Nebula could clearly see the appearance of the witch, she was very old, her legs and feet seemed to be a little unsharp, she wore a purple broken wizard hat, had earthy yellow curly hair, her eyes were dead fish's eyes, and she held a monkey in her arms.

The witch slowly walked in front of Xingyun and the others, and asked Xingyun and the others in surprise: "Ouch! What's going on? It's been a long time since I've seen anyone from out of town here. ”

Seeing this, Xingyun took Brad and the others to take a few steps back in a row, and whispered: "Hey, could it be that this person is a witch?" But she didn't seem bad or strong, and there were no dangerous monsters following her. ”

"What are you talking about standing in the snow and muttering? Are you looking for something with me? The witch Barbara asked Nebula and the others very strangely.

Hearing the question of the witch in front of him, Xingyun subconsciously took a few steps forward and replied, "We are here to destroy you, the witch." ”

"What? Destroy me!? Do you mean to wipe out this defenseless old man? Are you educated? Who taught you? It's just nonsense, I really want to seal your mouth!! When Barbara heard Nebula's intention, she angrily scolded Nebula.

Xingyun, who was scolded bloody, retreated back again and again, retreated to his companions, and asked them, "Is this person really a witch?" It doesn't look like it! ”

"I don't know! But we'd better be careful, after all, the legendary witch is very cunning, and she is the best at striking at the moment when someone loses their guard. Brad made the most cautious of proposals.

Nora agrees, being careful to sail a ship of 10,000 years, and losing her vigilance is a fatal thing when she is not sure whether the other party is friend or foe.

However, Chiyura objected, and he explained to Nebula and the others, "I don't think this old lady we met is a witch, and Nebula-sama said before that there is no way to find the slightest magic in her. In addition to the fact that the opposite side is the Dharma God who can perfectly hide his magic power, there is also a possibility. That is, the other party is completely an ordinary person!! ”

After hearing Chiyura's inference, Nebula and Brad had a sudden sense of realization, no wonder they couldn't feel any magic/vindictive energy fluctuations from her body, it turned out to be like this

In the adventure world, ordinary people still account for the majority, but because of the preconceived notions of terrible witches, Xingyun and others have always thought that witches must not be ordinary people!!

After knowing that the witch Barbara in front of her was just an ordinary grandmother, the scholar Nora stepped forward with great curiosity.

"What? Do you guys have anything else to say? Barbara asked upset, looking at Nora.

Nora tugged at the corners of her clothes and cautiously asked Barbara, "Grandma, there's something I want to ask you."

"What do you want to ask? Do you want to ask me when this old woman will die? If you still want to talk useless nonsense, shut up!! Barbara asked Nora rhetorically, her tone sounding extremely unkind.

Nora waved her hand again and again, and anxiously explained to Barbara, "No! No, the penguins, Alaskan dogs, and walruses in this area are all suspicious of you, could it be that your magic has caused the glaciers to melt and the sea level to rise? ”

Listening to Nora's question to Barbara, both Nebula and Brad secretly gave Nora a thumbs up, and in the face of such a straightforward inquiry, if Barbara was really a witch, she would definitely take action.

"Magic? What's that? Can it be eaten boiled? Barbara asked Nora in confusion.

Upon hearing Barbara's answer, Nebula, Chiyura, and Brad suddenly turned into beanie eyes, as if a crow was flying overhead

Barbara's answer perfectly shows that she is not the legendary witch, if she can reach such a state by pretending to be stupid, Nebula will not believe it first!

"Well~~~ It seems that you have a lot of questions, so let's do it! It's getting late today, so why don't you come to my house for one night! I'll wait until tomorrow," Barbara kindly invited Nebula and the others.

Nebula blushes and accepts Barbara's invitation, originally the purpose of his group to destroy the legendary witch Barbara, but after meeting Barbara, it turns to a night stay.

Who knows how the end result will be

★?????????????????? ★

In Barbara's stone house-

A group of people gathered around the fireplace, roasting the fire while drinking millet porridge cooked by Grandma Barbara.

"Grandma, where did this monkey in your arms come from? The environment here is not suitable for animals like monkeys!? Nora put the bowl on her lap and asked Barbara curiously.

Barbara fiddled with the propeller on the monkey's little head and replied to Nora, "This child seems to have been lost with its owner, and the reason why I braved such a heavy snowstorm to go out was to go out with this little fellow to find its owner." I saw a bright light at the edge of the forest, thinking that it must be its owner, but I met you. ”

"Hey! Brad, said that the monkey is the silver-haired adventurer!? Nebula asked Brad excitedly.

Brad nodded, there shouldn't be a second possibility, there could be another adventurer wandering around the Lena Strait with a pet monkey.

After hearing Nebula's words, Chiyura also remembered what Albert had said earlier about the silver-haired adventurer who was armed with a strange barrel-shaped weapon and a pet monkey.

At this moment, a violent knock sounded on the door, and a very hoarse voice came in from outside the door: "Excuse me!" Is anyone there? Is there anyone there? Excuse me?"

Hearing this hoarse voice, the monkey jumped up and down in excitement, and immediately opened the propeller on the hat and flew quickly towards the wooden door.

"Nebula-sama!! This monkey can actually fly!? It's just incredible!! Tomoyu tugged at Nebula's magic robe and said to Nebula in surprise.

Nebula replied disapprerovingly, "It's just a use of the helicopter's power system on the hat worn by the monkey, a prop that can make people fly in the sky, and there are many of them in the store of the Earth Defense Headquarters." ”

Brad was stunned for a moment, and said to himself, "Is this the power of technology?" It's a lot of fun, but I'm afraid it will be very inflexible when equipped with this kind of thing, and if you don't have a trustworthy teammate to look after it, this kind of thing will only make people a bright target. ”

As soon as the monkey twisted the handle of the door and pulled it open, he immediately pounced on the door, and it seemed that he really cared about its owner.

"Wow! Monchi!! You're actually here!! I'm looking for you so hard!! So you're here!? Haha, it was great to be able to find you!! A silver-haired boy with slightly dark skin hugged the monkey tightly and said excitedly.

Barbara coughed lightly twice and then asked the silver-haired boy, "Are you the owner of this little one?" I met it in the woods this afternoon, and this little creature is desperately pulling my old woman everywhere to find you! You must treat it well in the future and don't let it get lost again! ”

"Yes! Granny, I will definitely treat it well, it is the best friend of my life!! The silver-haired boy said to Barbara very solemnly.

At this moment, Nebula came to the silver-haired boy and asked the silver-haired boy very curiously, "Are you the adventurer who helped Puska the penguin and Albert the Alaskan dog solve the monsters?" ”

"Hmmm! I set off from Treasure Island and came here in a small wooden boat, and in order to ask for some food from the penguins and Alaskan dogs on the island, I promised to help them with some simple monster cleanup. The silver-haired boy touched his nose and said very embarrassedly.

After hearing what the silver-haired boy said, both Nebula, Brad, and Chiyura looked at him as if they were looking at a rare animal. How can you ride a small wooden boat through an area covered with ice floe? Come to this Lena Strait!?

In a way, this man's luck was not ordinary

"My name is Glar Nebula, and it's a pleasure to meet you! What's your name, please? Nebula greeted the silver-haired boy.

The silver-haired boy took the millet porridge that Barbara handed over, and after saying thank you, he replied to Nebula, "I'm the pirate Axels, and it's my partner, Monchi. I aspire to be a handsome adventurer who can take charge of my own business, and I will always strive for this goal. ”

Next, Brad, Chiyura, and Nora each introduced themselves, and everyone roasted and bragged, and after a while, they slowly became acquainted.

When he heard that Nebula and the others had mistaken the grandmother in front of them for a witch and were also preparing for a crusade, Axels slapped his thigh and laughed.

Nebula ignored Axel and explained to Barbara, "Granny, we think you're a witch for a reason. Recently there have been rumors that you are making something evil by using the children of animals as experimental material"

"Say what am I going to do with the kids? I'm using these docile and cute little ones as experimental materials? Who is talking so nonsense anymore? See if I don't sew his mouth up!! Barbara yelled at Nebula.

Barbara didn't explain anything, but led the group outside.

After she whistled, there was a sound of sooting coming from the snow, mixed with the sounds of small animals.

"Chirp~~"

"Wang~~"

"Hmm~~"

When Nebula shines with the waylight, he sees about seven or eight penguins, Alaskan dogs, and walrus cubs gathering around Barbara's hut, wagging their tails in delight at Barbara.

One of the little penguins even staggered to Barbara's side, hugging Barbara's thigh and refusing to let go.

"They are children who have lost their homes and parents because the icebergs have melted. If no one takes care of it, I don't know if I can survive~~~ They are just floating on the sea, and I picked them up one by one to raise them. Barbara crouched down and stroked the little penguin's head and said to the crowd.

Scholar Nora was very moved and asked Barbara, "Are you raising these homeless children?" ”

"Alas~~~ I will take care of them temporarily for a period of time, since ancient times, all kinds of animals should grow up in the same race. I brought them home, treated their wounds, and when they were almost regained their strength, they were wrapped in swaddling clothes and secretly placed in front of their colony at night," Barbara lamented and explained to Nebula and the others.

For a moment, Nebula, Brad, and Chiyura lowered their heads in shame, and Nebula was still thinking about how to brag in front of penguins, walruses, and Alaskan dogs after destroying the witch.

As a result, the legendary witch would be such a kind and kind grandmother, which is really unpredictable
