Release that Witch - Chapter 464
[Chapter 457 Phantom Sound]
“Actually, you don’t have to come with me.” Hui Yin walked by the Chishui River, the snow under his feet creaking.
“The city is not safe, this is not Border Town,” Iron Ax walked behind her, keeping a distance of two steps, “And His Highness has ordered that if you leave the castle and there are no other witches around, I should protect you.” Your safety.” “If I knew it, I
wouldn’t have told him,” she breathed out, “Besides, you don’t need to use honorifics to me.”
“In my heart, you will always be the patriarch of the Osha clan, Zhuo Master Yinyue.”
Mentioning the word Ao Sha, Echo fell silent, even though Tie Fu couldn’t see her expression, he could feel the other party’s depression, and he wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he didn’t know where to start. When He talked about it, he could only keep his mouth shut in the end, and silently followed her slowly.
Compared with the Chishui River that meanders in the wild, this tributary is almost in a straight line after entering the city, and the embankments on both sides are paved with bricks and stones, which are flat and neat.
Every dozens of steps, there will be a ladder leading to the river, probably for people to fetch water.
Today’s snow is not too heavy. Occasionally, one or two passers-by will be encountered on the road. Whether they are men or women, they will all look at Echo in surprise—obviously, Master Yinyue’s tall figure and light brown skin are really special. Coupled with that blue-gray long hair, it is particularly eye-catching-in the interior of Graycastle, it is rare to see pure-blood sand people.
“Let’s go to the other side,” Echo obviously didn’t like being looked at like this.
“Yes.”
After finding an arch bridge, the two carefully crossed the frozen bridge deck to the east side of the fortress.
There are almost no houses to be seen here, and the farmland is covered with snow, and it is flat land at a glance.
The blue city wall in the distance loomed in the snow curtain, forming a sharp contrast with the West District.
“Iron Sand City has never seen such a scene.” Echo said with emotion, “Before I left the extreme south, I thought the whole continent looked the same, except for sand, which was sand, and water sources and oases had to be fought for with life. resources. But here, no one will bleed for the Chishui River, just squat down when they want to drink water.”
“But they will bleed for other things,” Iron Ax said in a deep voice, “golden dragons, gems, honor, Status…you can’t escape the struggle anywhere.”
“Really…but Nightingale told me that she believes that His Highness can stop the disputes.” She raised her head and looked at the gray sky, “whether it is the sand people or the mainland kingdom, no matter Whether they are ordinary people or witches, they can enjoy resources equally and live freely.”
“I don’t know,” Iron Ax hesitated for a moment, he really couldn’t imagine that everyone put aside their barriers and lived together It seems that even a person like His Highness who has mastered the power of the gods may find it difficult to do it – he can undoubtedly conquer all enemies, but can he make the enemies willingly accept his rule?
No matter what method His Highness uses, the seeds of hatred have already been planted in the process of conquest.
“Do you want to go back to Iron Sand City?” Hui Yin asked suddenly.
“No, Master Yinyue,” Iron Ax came back to his senses, and replied without hesitation, “I have sworn to the three gods to always serve His Royal Highness Roland Wimbledon as Lord and open up territories for him. But Don’t worry, since he promised to avenge you, he will definitely do it in the future. When you return to Iron Sand City, no one will dare to disrespect you.”
“But I don’t want to be the patriarch of the Osha clan anymore. She whispered, “I like to stay in a place where the trees are evergreen. I like to be with Wendy and Nightingale. I like the songs His Highness taught me. I hope to go back one day and take a look, but I don’t want to live in the desert.” , fighting endlessly for water.”
Even so, you are still the only successor of the Osha clan in my mind, Iron Ax finally did not speak out, but bowed his head and said, “No one can force you.” The
two traveled through the white snow Walking to an open area, Echo stopped, “Just practice here, it shouldn’t disturb others.”
Iron Ax knew that the opponent’s ability was to make all kinds of sounds, and she usually practiced in the back garden of the castle in the small town. This time, in order to avoid disturbing the important meeting between His Royal Highness and the nobles, she came here to display her ability.
He nodded and took two steps back, “I will be on guard for you.”
“By the way, I made a song for my hometown,” Hui Yin turned around, “Do you want to listen to it?”
“Song? “Iron Ax was slightly taken aback.
“Well, use the arrangement method that His Highness taught me—mixing the sounds of various instruments together to make the tune more layered.” Speaking of this, Echo’s expression was obviously much more relaxed, “I just found out after trying it. It turns out that a song can be so beautiful, and each tone added will give it a completely different feeling. I don’t know where Your Highness knows these methods. When I was sold to the capital, I never listened to any nobleman. We
talked about it.”
“His Royal Highness Roland is different.” He is the favorite of the gods, Iron Ax thought.
“That’s right… No one has ever treated witches as sincerely as he does,” Echo said with deep empathy, “But the names His Highness gave to those mixed articulations are too weird, it’s almost like combining completely irrelevant things with them.” Together, such as electronic music, agricultural heavy metal,” she smiled and shook her head, “I guess only he can come up with such a name.”
Before Iron Ax could reply, the singing had already started.
When the complicated music flowed into his ears, he froze in place for a moment—what an unbelievable tune, like sand blowing through an oasis, and like orange fire leaping from the ground.
At that moment, Iron Ax felt that he had returned to the desert land under the scorching sun.
Is this… an illusion?
He lowered his head, only to realize that the snow had disappeared. At some point, he was in an oasis, looking out, the scorching sand covered the entire field of vision.
The eyes of the woman in front were slightly closed, and the singing echoed in the blue sky. Her feet stood in a piece of shallow water, and the ripples slowly opened, which was breathtakingly beautiful.
“Walking through the sand and dust”
“Following the traces of the oasis”
“Your footprints are left in the sand sea”
“Your figure is reflected in the clear spring”
“One day, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com The oasis will become a new desert”
“And new plants will grow in the desert Oasis”
“But the only thing that remains the same”
“It’s the legend about you”
“One day”
“I will walk in your footprints”
“Find your figure”
“Before the dawn”
“The tossing and turning
The moment of silence”
…
When the singing gradually dissipated, Iron Ax returned to the Longsong Fortress where the snowflakes were falling, and everything was like an illusion, as if nothing had happened.
He swallowed involuntarily, and spread out his palm, a transparent grit was shining in his palm.
