Chapter 536: Lost Dream (I)
"Annie, I'm tired. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Hold on a little longer, and we'll be almost there. γ
With the hard gravel beneath her feet, and the pain she felt with every step, Iffie wanted to stop, but Anne held her hand tightly and pulled her forward. Whether it was through the thorny bushes or the cold, biting streams, Anne's steps did not slow down, and from behind her, her back was as resolute as a mountain.
"Annie, I'm really tired......
Ife pleaded again.
The soles of her feet were like fire, her whole body was in pain, no matter how she inhaled, she felt a suffocation in her chest, and she felt like she was about to die.
Anne let out a soft sigh, leaned on the ground and listened for a moment, then pointed to a raised stone not far away, "Let's go there and rest. γ
Hearing that she could rest, the last shred of strength rose from the bottom of her heart, she gritted her teeth and walked quickly to the boulder, and then went limpβat this moment, she even wanted to stay here forever.
Anne didn't sit down at once, she found a few broken canopies from all around, and surrounded the sides of the stones, so that she could block part of the view. The upturned rocks are like a natural roof, and now they have branches on both sides, which is more like a nest. It's a pity that the ground is still uneven stones, and the buttocks hurt, and the narrow gap can't help the two of them lie down.
"The church won't chase after us, we've escaped so far. γ
"We can't let our guard down, it's not safe for us. γ
Anne was as vigilant as a wild cat, always pricking up her ears and monitoring everything around her. But she was much tougher than a wild cat, pain was a habit to her, and Anne was more of a silent predator than the murderous Inquisitions, if she had a weapon.
"Bloodfang...... Does it really exist?"
They weren't the only two of them searching for the Bloodfangs, but after leaving the Greystone Fortress, the group was intercepted by the Church, and the five witches had to go their separate ways, walking east for three days and three nights before they met Anne, while the others were completely silent.
"Of course," Anne said, rubbing her toes, "I heard they're on Wolf's Tooth Island across the sea. γ
"But how are we going to cross the sea?"
"Just go to the beach and find a ferry," Anne reassured, "rest assured, I'll take care of everything." γ
"Hmm," Iphi whispered.
She took out a piece of sun-dried meat skin from the package and covered it with both hands, and soon the white smoke rose from the skin, and it became hot and soft, "Eat something first, and we'll hurry after eating." γ
This is Anne's ability, the palm of her hand can ignite twigs and sticks, and can also bake food. Iphi gobbled up the skin of the flesh and swallowed it, looking at the skin in the other person's hand with a saliva, Anne smiled, bit off half and threw it to her, "You eat more, I'm not too hungry." γ
After eating this section and sucking it on your fingers one by one, it's time to hit the road again.
Iphi struggled to get up from the ground, but before she could get out of the rock, the dead leaves on the branches suddenly trembled.
It wasn't the swing of the autumn wind, but a slight and rapid tremor, as if something was approaching this way.
Anne's pupils dilated, "It's a horse! they're coming on horseback! Run!"
Yi Fei felt that she was being dragged up, she subconsciously ran a few steps, and the pain under her feet instantly returned to her whole body - her body did not recover at all, and it was very reluctant to just stand, let alone run?
She glanced back, and saw a dozen galloping horses at the end of the rocky beach, probably because she was afraid that the horses would break their hooves, and the speed of the pursuers was not fast, but it was enough for the two who fled barefoot.
They can't run away.
Or rather, she couldn't run away.
Iphi broke free of Anne's grasp, "You go first. γ
"I'll carry you. γ
"You can't run fast like that!"
"Obedient, come up. γ
In a moment of hesitation, the Inquisitors on tall horses got closer and closer, and Ife could already see people raising their crossbows and throwing spears.
At this moment, the potholed gravel ground suddenly collapsed, and the enemy riding in front screamed and fell into the pit. The team hurriedly dispersed to both sides, but the horses fell to their knees, and a group of figures in blood-red robes appeared without warning in front of the pursuers of the church, as if they had emerged from the ground. The inquisitors were caught off guard by the powerful crossbow fire at close range, and the enemy who was lucky enough to escape the crossbow bolts could not escape the ambushers' pursuit, and in a short time, more than a dozen church pursuers all died on the rocky beach.
Then they quickly stripped them of their armor, rations, and packages, and did not even spare the Divine Punishment Stone.
One of them walked up to them.
"You're looking for the Bloodfangs?"
"How do you know?" said Ife in surprise.
"Yes, my lord," Anne pinched her hand eagerly, "we are both witches, and there are three others who have been separated on the road, can you help them?"
"We don't have that many hands to care about the other witches," the visitor removed his hood, revealing short fiery red hair, "and if your companion can't get here on their own, they're not eligible to join the Bloodfangs." She paused for a moment, "Of course, not everyone who arrives here will necessarily be able to join the Blood Fang Society. γ
Effie felt Anne's hand tighten.
"What are your abilities, show me a demonstration. γ
After the two of them had used their abilities, the red-haired woman nodded at Ife, "You can go to Grand Duke Island," and then said to Anne, "and you can't. γ
"Why?"
"My lord, Iβ"
"I'll send someone to send you to another witch organization, but not the Bloodfangs," the other said, "You can't be a battle witch, and the Bloodfangs don't need a cook. γ
......
"What's there to cry about?" the red-haired woman scolded impatiently, "You'll look like this when you meet your master, she'll make you look good." γ
"I...... I want to be with Annie......
"Nothing to do, she's just a liability. γ
"She's not, she saved me!" Ife swallowed snot into her stomach, "Anne is the battle witch you need......
"Well, whether or not a battle witch depends on her ability when she awakens, not on her thick limbs," the other party said disdainfully, "You think she's powerful, it's just because she's five or six years older than you, and in fact your potential is much greater than hers." γ
"And you guys...... Where will Anne go?"
"It's none of your business. γ
Ife's nose was sour again.
The red-haired woman frowned, "Listen, the master doesn't like cowardly people, if you want to survive on Grand Duke Island, don't mention the past. γ
