rose nursery rhyme

Behind the stone is a passage made of rock.

The passage was tortuous, and it turned a corner not far away, and it couldn't see where the end was.

But it is not dark, the rock wall is inlaid with rhombus-shaped magic spar, which is also connected together by the runes carved on the stone, giving off colorful soft halos flashing and flashing.

There is also such a spar array further inside, but it is far away and no one can be sensed, so it is still dark.

There is a shelf next to it, on which there are some plants of unknown species, all of which have been carefully picked, dried, and bundled. Most of them are leaves and fruits, and there are also many mushrooms.

There was even a bunch of dried frogs, strung together on a string and hanging on a shelf, the skin was so vivid bright orange that it looked poisonous.

Xi Di probed his head: "Dragon lives in this kind of place?"

In people's impression, dragons are always big, and they don't care too much about other things except the treasures they collect. For them, it is enough to have a cave where they can hide themselves, and there is no need to decorate them specially. Or illuminate, anyway, their eyes can see the surrounding things clearly even in the darkest environment.

The decoration here is exquisite, and it doesn't feel like a dragon's residence.

Besides, what does the dragon want mushrooms and frogs for?

Brice stood at the entrance of the cave and didn't go in: "There is more than one dragon living here."

Sidi: "Then what else?"

Bryce: "The dragon race has its own dragon-language magic. They don't need to learn runes, and they don't know how to draw magic circles—the one who lives with it should be a magician."

magician.

Most of the rare, noble groups that can use magic are composed of humans—groups that can use magic themselves, such as elves or dragons, are generally not called magicians.

Sidi: "Same as you?"

Brice glanced across the row of shelves: "...Maybe it's not the same. It seems that we are good at different things."

This cave can be regarded as someone else's house, and the stone was removed to confirm whether there was really someone inside. Now that it was confirmed, they couldn't just go in without saying hello, so the two of them still stood at the entrance of the cave without moving.

Maybe magicians have a special way of communicating with each other, or they sensed that their prohibition was touched. At this time, the crystal arrays in the depths of the cave began to light up one by one. Turned out, but did not hear any footsteps.

Is the master here appeared?

Doesn't seem to be a dragon.

The light from the spar array was very bright after being superimposed, but not dazzling. It illuminated the entire passage very clearly, and also illuminated the face of the person who came.

...is a girl with silver hair.

The girl looked young, at most sixteen or seventeen, with a delicate face, mysterious purple eyes, petite figure, wearing a wide cloak, and a wide-brimmed pointed hat on her head.

She was sitting sideways on a flying broom, floating in mid-air, no wonder there were no footsteps.

There were two uninvited intruders in front of her, and the girl didn't feel nervous, her face was expressionless, she just asked indifferently: "Who are you?"

This kind of communication has always been carried out by Brice. He took a step forward, stroked his right hand on his chest, and saluted the girl shallowly: "It's just a passing traveler. I passed by your place and felt the same kind of breath. I hereby Come and visit."

The second half is basically all nonsense, they just came here for the dragon, and the reason is not 'felt the breath of the same kind'.

Brace introduced himself and Sheedy by name again.

The girl's doll-like eyes moved, and she looked around Bryce and Xidi, but she didn't know if she saw anything, but she was surprisingly easy to talk, and the floating broom took a step back: "...Come in."

Didn't expect it to be so simple, didn't she even suspect their motives?

Or is she too confident in her abilities?

However, this was not within the scope of their consideration. The girl said to let in, and the two really followed the girl and walked slowly into the depths of the passage.

The passage was much longer than expected.

The girl didn't make a sound along the way, and Xidi didn't speak. Only Bryce, as if he didn't notice the eerie quiet atmosphere, asked her: "Haven't I asked your name yet?"

The girl's voice was very light, like a clear spring: "Lilith."

Lilith, the name of the legendary witch.

Brace: "Is this your home?"

Lilith didn't turn her head back, but although she was indifferent, she answered every question: "Not really, it's just a temporary stronghold."

Bryce never said anything about the dragon: "It turned out to be like this."

"I saw many persistent magic circles outside." He said, "Have you lived here for a long time?"

Lilith: "I live here..."

She paused, as if calculating: "210 is three years, seven months and eight days."

Sidi glanced at her more because of the counting method that was accurate to the sky.

If she is telling the truth, then Lilith is at least over 200 years old-this question is not very polite, so although Xidi thought about it, she didn't ask directly.

Can magicians live that long?

He hadn't seen many magicians, it was hard to answer.

The child's thinking jumped quickly, and then he thought: If this is the case, how old is Bryce?

It may be thousands of years old.

Brice didn't even look at him, as if he knew what he was thinking, he squeezed his hand and said softly, "Don't think about it."

Xidi refused to admit that she was guessing that Bryce was a thousand-year-old goblin: "I didn't think about anything."

Bruce: "Really?"

Xi Di was serious: "What did I lie to you for?"

Lilith was floating in front, as if she didn't hear anything.

****

It can’t be seen from the outside, but when you really come in, you will find that the inside of this cave is simply twists and turns. , making it difficult to tell where they lead.

Fortunately, the crystal arrays for lighting are still there. With them leading the way, people who enter the cave will not lose their way.

How does this witch live in such a hidden place?

No wonder she came out on a broom instead of walking by herself.

After following Lilith through an unknown number of turns, the eyes of the few people finally became clear.

——They came to the end of the cave, a cave with a much larger diameter.

The ceiling of the cave is embedded with a more complicated spar array, which emits bright light even without induction. There are several bookshelves in one corner. There is a very long wooden magic wand leaning on the bookshelves, and the top is inlaid with a piece of purple spar.

Next to the bookshelf is a shelf full of bottles and jars, which contain everything from liquid to powder, and even a pair of eyeballs, floating in the transparent liquid, slowly sinking up and down.

In the center was a carpet, on which stood a cauldron taller than the witch herself.

There is nothing in the pot now, and the fire is off.

Lilith finally jumped off the broom, and the broom automatically flew to the corner to lean against, and it looked no different from the broom used for housework.

On the way here, Lilith, who had been silent as long as she didn't ask questions, finally spoke up. She grabbed the edge of the cauldron and glanced inside, then turned around and asked the two of them, "Are you hungry?"

Before Brice could speak, Xidi nodded and replied seriously, "I'm hungry."

He has always been a little hungry on the way, and he hates this and that to the creatures outside, and refuses to eat anything.

Although his physique was right, he wouldn't have any serious problems even if he didn't eat for a few days, but the child had developed a good habit in the atonement house, and now that it was time, he had to eat something to be happy.

Lilith didn't ask what she was doing, she just nodded silently, picked up the magic wand next to the bookshelf, stepped away, and entered a hole behind the bookshelf.

Just leave Bryce and Sheedy standing where they are.

There are no chairs in her cave, and there is no place to sit. Sidi looked around, just sat on the carpet, raised her head and asked Brice, "I didn't see the dragon."

How could it be so big that it didn't move at all?

Sidi: "Didn't the dragon live with her?"

Bryce said that if there are dragons here, there must be one, and Sidi has no doubts about this.

After all, there were still so many forked roads in the cave just now, maybe the forked road where the dragon is.

Brace: "Right here—it just went wrong."

Sidi: "What's wrong?"

Before Bryce could speak, Lilith came out of the hole. The spar on the top of the wand in her hand was actually burning at this moment, and the flame was bright silvery white. The high temperature of the flame.

She didn't comment on Siddie's behavior as she sat on the ground, but she just stretched the end of her wand under the cauldron, and the cluster of flames hung under the cauldron.

The witch pawed twice with her wand, took a few bottles from the shelf, held them in her arms, and poured them into the cauldron one by one.

She is not tall, and the edge of the pot has been lifted to her chest, so the action of pouring things is a bit laborious.

After finally pouring it all over, Lilith picked up a plate from one side, tapped the wand three times on the side of the pot, and then lifted the wand up, something flew out of the pot and landed on the plate .

...is a beautiful little cake.

After finishing this set of smooth movements, Lilith finally handed the plate to Sidi, motioning for him to take it.

There is even a fancy fork next to the plate.

How can there be such a way to make cakes in this world?No matter how sweet this little cake exudes, it is still suspicious no matter how you look at it.

However, Xi Di didn't care that much. Without using a fork, he directly lowered his head and bit off a corner of the cake, chewing thoughtfully for a while.

It's a cake, it tastes like a cake, and it's pretty darn good.

A little cream was rubbed on his face just now, and he wiped it with the back of his hand, and then licked the back of his hand, then he remembered to ask Lilith: "What is this made of?"

The formation process of this cake is different from ordinary cakes.

Lilith remained expressionless: "Flour, sugar, milk, butter, and eggs—what else?"

Sidi: "Oh."

It is indeed the material used to make cakes, and it is not wrong.

The author says:

Siddie: Where's the dragon!What about the dragon!Hey little cake, hey (wait

……

Me: Dead, but not quite dead.

Although I also asked for leave today, but I still have the ability to write so I can write like this... I don’t have any serious problems, I will be fine in two days~
