Chapter 165 Chase

Lightning shuttled across the hilly area south of Border Town, filling the parchment in his hand one by one.

This is a new task she has recently accepted. Together with Soraya, she will draw a map of the Western Territory.

If you fly with Soraya, the altitude will drop greatly, and it will be difficult to pass through the forest. Therefore, she first drew the rough outlines one by one, and then Soraya pieced them together to draw the entire map. Under the magic brush, the map looks as if it is viewed from the sky, and every detail comes to life.

When the parchment was full, Lightning turned around and returned to Border Town. In the past few months of practice today, her flying speed has become faster and faster. If she flies at full speed, according to the calculation method of His Highness Roland, the speed is almost 120 kilometers per hour. At this speed, the strong wind coming from the pavement almost blinded her.

She originally thought that this was the limit of what she could achieve, but just the day before yesterday, His Highness gave her a gift, which was a headband made of cowhide, with two copper rings wrapped in the middle, and one side of the copper ring was embedded with a Pure and transparent glass, as long as you wear it, you can stay away from the wind.

His Highness said that these are called windproof glasses, which were made by hand when firing glassware, and also said that with these, he would be more like little Ezreal. Lightning didn't know who Ezreal was, but she knew that it would take a lot of work just to join the cowhide, the copper ring and the mirror together. Each piece of leather has double-layer stitching, and the inward side of the copper ring is tightly wrapped, so you don’t have to worry about scratching the skin. There is also a belt-like buckle on the back, which can be adjusted at will. It doesn’t look like it Anything made casually.

She fell in love with the gift immediately and wore it on top of her head almost at bedtime. Now, as long as she pulls off the windproof glasses, she can fly as fast as she wants, no longer needing to worry about the howling wind in her ears.

After a while, lightning arrived over the small town, and when he was about to return to the castle to hand over the grid map to Soraya, a white figure suddenly passed by the corner of his eyes. She looked sideways and saw a pigeon spreading its wings and gliding in the direction of Longsong Fortress. Pigeons are not rare birds, but this one is different. It is too fat, and its wings alone are enough to eat by itself for a day.

Lightning swallowed, and she remembered the scene when she caught fish and birds with her own hands when she was living on a deserted island, and set up a campfire to roast and eat. Although the food provided by His Royal Highness is also very rich, but the buttered bread and mushroom soup for a month is already a bit boring, if you can catch a pigeon to roast... She touched the small bag containing salt and pepper on her waist, and made up her mind determined.

Turning around, Lightning rushed straight at the pigeon, and the latter quickly noticed the unexpected guest. It folded its wings and swooped down, as if it wanted to get into the woods and escape the menacing stalker.

Lightning was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect this pigeon to be quite smart. Then she grinned, turned sharply, and followed it. Ever since she had lured a hybrid evil beast in the evil moon, the little girl was confident that nothing could escape under her nose.

The pigeon flitted over the treetops for a while, and then lowered its altitude to a very low level and flew close to the ground. However, the distance between the two became shorter and shorter. No matter how much it fluttered its wings, it could not shake off the lightning.

The woods receded quickly, the sun shone through the densely covered branches, and the light spots and shade alternately appeared, until passing through an open area, the surrounding suddenly became empty and bright. She seized the opportunity, increased her speed to the limit, immediately hugged the pigeon from behind, and pushed it to the ground.

Pigeon struggled hard but couldn't break free from her shackles. Lightning pulled out a knife from his waist, and when he was about to kill the prey, the other party suddenly said, "Don't goo! Help goo!"

The little girl shivered and almost threw away the knife in fright. But she quickly came back to her senses, "Are you a witch?"

Pigeon nodded.

"I thought I could change it," Lightning sighed regretfully, and retracted the knife. "My name is Lightning, what's your name?"

The opponent swelled into a ball, and then turned into a human form, "Maggie, you actually want to eat a bird!" She complained.

"I've eaten a lot before." Lightning shrugged and stretched out his hand to pull her up. Suddenly, a bead rolled down from her arms, bounced twice on the ground, and fell into a small pit. Lightning walked over to pick up the bead, and when he wanted to hand it back to Maggie, he found that this glass-like transparent red bead was engraved with a string of strange runes, which looked very familiar.

She frowned and thought for a while, then pulled up the string around her neck, and took out a crimson pendant from her chest. After comparing the two in her hands, she found that the runes on them were exactly the same.

"Huh?" Maggie poked her head out from behind, "You also have a tracking sigil?"

"Tracking sigil... what is it?"

"You don't know? This thing can be sensed by the magic stone and can locate the holder." She paused, "No, why should I tell you, you still wanted to eat me just now."

"Do you have a magic stone?"

"Is there?" Maggie shook her head.

"So you can locate me?" Lightning asked curiously.

"No, it must be a matching magic stone to locate the corresponding sigil." She answered quite neatly this time, "And only witches can use it. You don't know anything, how did you get it?"

"My dad gave it to me when I was young," Lightning returned the bead to the other party, "What about yours?"

"I'm not telling you," Maggie made a grimace, and then looked at the former curiously, "You are a witch from the Mutual Aid Society? I heard from Ashes that you don't want to leave Border Town."

"Are you from her side?" Lightning curled his lips, "I thought you were a newcomer attracted by rumors. Everyone is living a good life here, why leave."

"Because of the danger, the church may lead an army to come at any time."

"Explorers are not timid because of danger," Lightning blushed slightly when he said this, um... the trip to the stone tower is not counted. When I go to the ruins next time, I must be the first to step into the basement, "And His Royal Highness Roland has many incredible inventions in his hands. As long as you have seen them, you will definitely be attracted by them. One of them can send out iron balls the size of a fist." A weapon, anyone who touches it will be torn to pieces."

"Really? Can you show me?" Maggie exclaimed.

"That's not okay, unless you join the Witch Union and become one of us."

"But I have to take Ashes back..." She hesitated.

"Then you can come here after delivering it," Lightning persuaded, "There are many interesting things here, such as machines that can boil water and move on their own, and weapons that can attack the enemy from a thousand meters away, er... ...How far is a kilometer? In short, it is very far away, and people seem to be only the size of tree branches." She gestured with her hands and feet, "And there are more places to play in the hidden forest, poking beehives and picking mushrooms are nothing , Hunting birds and wild boars is interesting. The skins are peeled and grilled on the campfire until they are shiny, and then sprinkled with salt and pepper, it tastes like meat.”

"Really?" Maggie couldn't help licking her lips.

"Why are you lying to me?" Lightning hooked the other person's shoulders, "Why don't we go hunt a bird and roast it now!" The support is my greatest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to read.)
