"Poof...... Thank you so much, I almost thought I was going to die in that kind of place! ”

The curly-haired blonde girl in a Scottish hat and a red plaid dress took a large sip of Alice's tea, and then let out a hearty laugh, despite the mud on her face.

"No thanks, this kid made that trap in the first place." Alyssa patted the head of the little boy next to her, who was a head shorter than her, and said, "The current record is two injuries and zero hits. ”

"Don't slap me on the head!" The little boy angrily waved Alyssa's hand away.

Alice, on the other hand, stared at the box behind the girl for a moment before asking, "Are you a puppeteer?" ”

The blonde girl scratched her head: "Sort of, although people originally wanted to learn necromantic magic." ”

“……”

This kind of thing that is purely taboo in the Eastern Plains, please don't just say it casually!

Alice didn't know what to say for a while...... Originally, she also wanted to ask the other party about some puppet problems, after all, even Xiwei was not very familiar with this aspect.

"Then let's re-introduce myself." The blonde girl wiped the mud off her face and replaced it with a smile with a little leisure: "My name is Eve. Miller is a puppeteer and alchemist. ”

"Alyssa. Margot Royd, her name is Theo. Skanji, we are all magicians. Elisa pulled over Theo and introduced her to Eve.

"I'm Alice. Bannings, trainee puppeteer and maid. Alice looked a little shy.

Then the little boy waved his hand and said, "Iklovich. Seba. He is the son of a hunter, and he will definitely become the best hunter in the future! ”

"Well, I have no doubt about it, after all, even puppeteers and magicians have fallen into your trap......"

Eve. Miller quipped, laughing.

"It's—it's just ......an accident," the boy blushed rarely.

Afterwards, Alyssa and the others gave Eve an overview of what had happened.

Unexpectedly, Eve showed a thoughtful expression after hearing this.

"Well, I probably know what the 'ground rat' you're looking for is. Unfortunately, even I can't find out where she is for the time being. ”

"Wait, 'she'?" Alyssa keenly grasped the key to Eve's words: "You mean, ground rats are humans?" Or at least a subhuman? ”

"I didn't guess it, but it's pretty much the same."

Eve shook her head slightly, then said solemnly, "That's a doll with its own consciousness...... It can be said that this era is one of the closest to the existence of alchemical life. ”

"Is it like Al?" Alice immediately interjected. However, she remembered that the girl in front of her might not know who Al was again. So he added: "...... Oh, I'm talking about Al as a self-aware doll. ”

"Al? Do you mean Al Bate Lien? Eve showed a slight look of surprise on her face: "So, you should know Jocco too, right?" ”

"Miss Eve, do you know Miss Juke, too?" Alice was surprised.

It's just that they haven't been able to talk properly for a while. Tio suddenly touched his cat-eared hair ornament. Raising his little face and looking not far away: "Something is approaching." It's very fast. ”

Through the special equipment amplification, the current Theo has a very long range of sensing as long as the surrounding wind elements are sufficient.

Alyssa didn't hesitate to pull out her weapons. Be ready for battle.

Eve's face changed slightly after Alyssa and the others had finished preparing - she also sensed that an unknown presence was approaching at high speed, and Theo was more than three seconds faster than her! For a powerful mage, when the enemy is not too far away from him, three seconds of preparation time is enough to make the difference between victory and defeat.

This makes Eve have to sigh that the children are really getting stronger and stronger...... To know the Dao, whether it is from the appearance or the behavior, you can know that the age of the Dao Theo is definitely not more than fifteen years old.

Soon, the other party appeared in their field of vision.

The enemy turned into a black shadow, like an agile ape, and burst out of the canopy and fell straight from above, the sharp, blue-glowing dagger in his hand aimed at Eve's neck and stabbed hard!

However, Eve just waved his hand, and the other party hovered in mid-air out of thin air, no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't move a slight, but his movements looked more and more stiff.

"That's amazing......" Alice couldn't help but exclaim.

Unlike Elisa, who studied water element magic, and Theo, who studied wind element magic, she could see at a glance the technique used by Eve after being immersed in the study of silk string magic for a long time - this puppeteer girl of unknown origin only used a wave of her hand, and without any spells, standard spell casting actions, or spell casting mediums, she instantly used silk string magic to weave a large net.

The black shadow was like a butterfly that had hit a spider's web, trapped by the web of silk string magic, and no matter how much it struggled, it could not escape, but its body gradually wrapped around those silk strings and began to be controlled by Eve.

"Practice makes perfect." Eve smiled slightly and said casually. At the same time, she moved the black shadow that had completely taken over her mobility to the ground. It was only then that the others saw the attacker's appearance clearly.

It was a girl a little smaller than Theo, dressed in a commoner's burlap skirt, with a pink bow on her head, blank eyes, and the quenched dagger still in her hand.

"Jona! She's my sister Jona Lovech! At this time, the boy suddenly screamed, and the expression on his face changed from dazed to surprised, but then to doubt: "What's wrong with her?" Why don't you seem to have a reaction to my words? ”

After thinking about it for a while, Eve said honestly: "Your sister has been made into a living puppet, and there is a death seed buried in her body, if she dies in this state, she may even become an evil corpse......"

"You...... You're kidding, aren't you? The boy asked in disbelief.

"I'm sorry." Eve lowered her head, her face full of regret.

Alyssa, too, lowered her face a little unacceptably.

"That'...... Is there any other way? I have to say that the boy's psychological quality is very good, and soon he adjusted his mentality and asked again: "There are still some people in our village who have also been taken captive, and they will definitely be transformed like this!" Is there any way to treat it? ”

But to be honest, he didn't have much hope, Eve's appearance just now clearly shows that the situation is very serious, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to treat......

"Yes." Eve nodded unexpectedly: "First deal with the enemy who planted the death seed for them, and then find a priest to dispel the death seed, after all, that thing is still a curse in nature." Don't be nervous~"

““……””

Then you just looked sorry for it! (To be continued......)
