Torture Officer Xiao Jie Just Wants to Fish

After a long silence, she sighed.

"If you had said earlier, I wouldn't have protected her," Miss Witch lowered her eyes, "You guys from the abyss are all liars."

Rose was inexplicably hit by AOE, but she wasn't angry, she just scratched her head.

"Ah... I don't know that you really know Dorothy's ancestors," Rose said, with a look of embarrassment on her face, "But I don't think her descendants should pay for what her ancestors did. Well...to be honest, she hasn't enjoyed any benefits from the Dana family either."

Rose said so, and also looked at the screen on the source crystal seed.

"To be honest, she didn't even suffer less... I think if she had to choose herself, she would rather not be the princess of this descendant of the brave, Golden Iris."

When Rose said this, the red-haired witch was stunned.

"What... the princess?"

she asked in disbelief.

"Princess of the Kingdom of Golden Iris...you probably don't know about it," Rose thought about the time, "If you have been staying in this forbidden area all these years, this should be hundreds of years after you came here." Something happened."

Rose said so, but Miss Witch's expression suddenly softened.

"That's it...I see."

She patted her dirty face vigorously, and an uncontrollable smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"She still has a conscience," Miss Witch said, continuing to look at Dorothy, "Then you told me earlier that even if it wasn't for your sake, I would protect her."

In just a few minutes, facing the same person, Miss Witch's words were completely different.

Rose looked at her, somewhat confused.

Then, she decided not to worry about it.

"Well... then, as you can see, Dorothy's situation is not very optimistic now. Although I really want to continue chatting with you, I may still have to take her out of here as soon as possible..."

After saying this, Rose stood up and was about to leave, but was grabbed by the witch.

"Wait a minute—the succubus," the witch looked at her and tilted her head. "Although she is the descendant of that annoying guy, but since you are also a demon... I have something to give you."

As the witch said, she lay down under the bed again, writhed behind her for a while, and took out a rusty compass.

"This is the compass that can point to the deepest part of the 'Black Lake and Mire' restricted area. Those who don't have a compass will definitely get lost in the mist if they want to go deep," the witch said solemnly after stuffing the compass into her hand , "Take her there, I...she..."

The witch didn't seem to know how to speak after speaking, and finally stamped her feet anxiously.

"Oh—anyway, it's the right time to go!"

Rose held the compass and looked at Miss Witch, feeling even more confused.

She could feel that the worn-out compass with no magic power fluctuations in her hand unexpectedly had a very high personality.

Combining the fact that this Miss Witch can stop all the monsters in the entire Black Lake and Mire from attacking Dorothy just by speaking, and the way the other party brought herself to this hut...

Rose could easily tell that she should have a lot to do with this restricted area of ​​life.

It's just that it's impossible to know whether this restricted area has been in contact with her since its birth, or because she has lived here for too long.

"Okay... then thank you."

Rose nodded lightly while saying so.

After she put away the compass, the red-haired lady witch showed a happy smile.

"Let's say thank you later, because you will be super, super thankful to me later... But it's really not a good time to be a guest," the red-haired witch said, snapping her fingers softly, and the door of the wooden house opened. Open up, "Go, do what you have to do."

Rose looked outside the door, and the shrouded fog surged, automatically separating a passage.

She stood up and walked to the door. When she reached the door, she turned her head and bowed slightly to Miss Witch who was sitting on the floor of her wooden house.

"Goodbye, Miss Witch."

Hearing Rose's voice, the red-haired witch waved her hand.

"Iris Flavissima."

She spit out a string of strange and ancient syllables, which made Rose slightly dazed.

"This is my name, Yelich Flavisima," the witch laughed. "Goodbye, Roslinda."

Saying so, she waved her arms more vigorously.

Before Rose could reply to her words, layers of mist gathered again, covering the space between Rose and her.

Thick mist had surrounded three sides, and Rose reached out to touch it, as if stopped by something soft.

Not even magic can pass through.

The fog was everywhere, leaving only the way forward.

Didn't even have time to say goodbye again.

Rose let out a breath, and continued to walk forward, only to be belatedly aware that she seemed to have seen her somewhere.

The name Yelich Flavisima also seemed familiar.

I just can't remember it.

But the slight sadness that didn't come from my heart didn't seem to be fake.

As we continued to walk forward, the fog became thicker and thicker.

Soon, Rose saw a bunch of stumbling figures appearing in the fog ahead.

Those are the mercenaries I saw before.

It was only then that Rose realized that the surrounding fog seemed to be able to not only block people's sight and perception of magic power.

She walked over quickly and found that including Dorothy, they were all lying on the ground.

But after careful inspection, the lives of these people were not in danger, and even Dorothy seemed to be sleeping peacefully and peacefully.

Even the defensive magic, the Scepter of Eden and the Magic Cube left by Rose to Dorothy were not touched.

Because it really wasn't an attack, and it wasn't doing Dorothy any harm.

But this also reflects a little bit...

Rose's previous speculation about the relationship between this "Black Lake Mire" and that witch named Ye Lixi was not groundless.

At the same time, she also realized that she seemed to have greatly underestimated the red-haired witch who was a bit nervous.

Because she found that even the "soul" of the Scepter of Eden had fallen into a strange and peaceful state of sleep.

Taking out the compass stuffed into her bosom, Rose saw the pointer on it turning and finally pointing obliquely ahead of her.

The fog obliquely ahead was immediately separated.

Rose was carried on Dorothy's back, thought for a while, and then decided to believe the witch's words.

She carried Dorothy on her back and walked in the direction pointed by the compass needle.

After a long time, Dorothy hummed softly on her back.

"Well--"

The thin girl woke up again.

After smelling the familiar smell, although she woke up after unconsciously losing consciousness, Dorothy didn't feel frightened.

Because the first thing he found when he woke up was that he seemed to be beside Teacher Rose.

Even, lying on Teacher Rose's back... This made Dorothy very relieved.

"Ms. Rose... what's wrong?"

she asked softly.

"Did I faint?"

"No, it's just a nap, it's a friendly senior who wants to help us," Rose said, thinking about her words, "Probably for some reason, she had to let you Go to sleep."

Dorothy nodded half-understanding.

"So, did Miss Rose make new friends after she went to fight just now?"

asked Dorothy.

Rose took out the compass and looked at it again, and replied, "I don't know if I'm a friend, anyway, she may have a relationship with your family..."

Rose said tentatively.

As for the amnesiac Dorothy, Rose wondered if it was a good idea to mention her past at this time.

Fortunately, Dorothy didn't have any special reaction.

"Is that so... so we are going to the place designated by the senior who may be related to my family?"

asked Dorothy curiously.

"Well, she said it would be good for us," said Rose, turning her back on Dorothy, "but I don't know what."

"That's really exciting."

Dorothy laid her head gently against Rose's.

In the fog, Rose walked forward slowly on the wet mud with Dorothy on her back.

Leaving a series of footprints, they slowly penetrated into the depths of the black lake mud.

It wasn't until we walked for more than ten minutes that the fog became thinner and thinner, and the terrain gradually became higher.

soon……

Rose walked out of the long corridor formed by the mist, and after going up a gentle slope, she completely walked out of the area covered by the mist.

What caught her and Dorothy's eyes was... a lake.

Black Lake Mire, all they saw before was mud.

Although there are also dirty and dark places with accumulated water, it is somewhat inappropriate to say that it is a black lake.

Now Rose and Dorothy saw the real reason why this place was called "Black Lake Mire".

Thousands of miles of black lakes, thousands of pools of mud and swamps.

Although there is no record of the core of the Black Lake Mire, the person who took the name must have been here.

It was vast and pitch black, as if a piece of the night sky had been torn off and placed on the ground.
