Chapter 143:

Several idle men squatting at the corner chewing tobacco widened their eyes, thinking they saw the goddess. They were wearing shoes with holes, and their thumbs came out of the holes, dark, almost the same color as their clothes.
"Why, how could there be such a beautiful woman?"
"Idiot, that came from the city, the city, you know? When I went to the city, the women there were like this, wearing grey robes."
"Nonsense, you are thousands of miles away from the city, and you have to cross a dozen mountains. How do you get there? Is it just lazy meat?"
"Yeah, yeah, then what is the costume under the gray robe?"
"I've been there! Then... underneath the grey robe is...'Visconti", anyway a kind of clothes worn by people in the city..."
"Alas, that kind of girl, if you can do it for the last time, it is worth it if the guy is rotten!
The wandering men's eyes stared at Michelle like a hungry wolf, as if to eat her, but the other party was too noble to make people dare to blaspheme, they and she are not in a world at all, Reason tells them that beautiful women of unknown origin are better not to provoke them.
The man behind Michelle's face was ugly, as if burned, and the potholes were like a bare planet surface, but his eyes were soft, with a spring-like warmth, and a little child's caper.
"The White Rose is gone, and the crew has disbanded. Are you still following me?" She lowered her head, her voice getting lower and lower.
"Well, I have nowhere to go, and, I'm always alone when I'm not with you. Besides, the two of them can take care of..." The heart of the ugly face thumped, "Finally... Free! If you let the shameless Blas marry away, it will be painful for a lifetime."
"Thanks to the mysterious mask man, whose spirit covered Bras and the rest of the eyes with illusion, and thought I was dead, so that there would be no Michelle in the world. How free is the free air without shackles Ah! This is completely out of the family, and thank you, I have always been by my side...I am not a big lady of the big family now, in fact, I don’t care about that kind of identity anyway, just be happy You just need to live, and the thought in your heart is always like a dream. Since you can have freedom again, then you must cherish it. In the past, when you were carefree, you never felt the existence of freedom, just like in I feel the preciousness of the air when I suffocate. You and you are the same. I am used to your figure when I am by my side. If you are not there one day, I will be panicked." Michelle Eyelashes drooped, eyes wet, and blushing from the nice neck.
"I, I'm here, I'm here, you are one of my few friends! Counting you and that mask man, I have two friends, yes, that mask man is really mysterious, no Knowing what comes from, the ingenuity is really terrible. It is really a terrible character. Fortunately, it is not our enemy, but it is also abhorrent, and he is paid twice. If I can still see him, I must have a good drink with him. "Ugly face looked away, looking at the clouds in the sky."
"Is it just a friend?" Michelle sighed leisurely, as if breaking the world's most beautiful crystal on the ground, making people feel heartbroken.
"We are still important companions. We have weathered the wind and rain together. Sorry, I forgot this." Ugly added quickly.
"Fool, you are! Think of it all, do you have no other purpose to follow me? For example..." Michelle blushed and her voice became as fine as a gnat.
"It really has no other purpose. Isn't this good? Is there something I did wrong?" The ugly face was puzzled.
"Forget it," Michelle stomped her feet angrily, and the flush on her face receded. "Do you have someone to cherish? The one that cherishes the most."
"That's you Ka, the person I cherish the most, the one I cherish the most."
"How cherishable?" Michelle's heart was filled with joy, but his face was not expressed, and he asked in a light tone.
"There was a bear who stole honey for the first time. The bee was covered in a bag, but only a small bottle was stolen. It hid this bottle of honey. Then he stole it many times. Less, it compares and finds that the later honey does not have the first bottle of sweetness, so it cherishes the first bottle of honey even more. Only at festivals will it drink a little and miss the past life. How cherished the little bear That bottle of honey, I will cherish you as much as possible." The ugly face stuttered to tell this story, it was made up at first hearing, and it was very unskilled. It seems that he knows a lot about coaxing women, but it is not practical. After that, it was a foreign appearance.
Aware of this, Michelle felt a little euphoric and melancholy, like a little girl stealing milk from her neighbor, who wanted to drink the sweetness but had a slight sense of guilt.
"So, can we be together forever? You don't want to lose me, too?" She hid her smile where she could not see her ugly face.
"Why can't I? I don't want to be separated from you! As long as you don't dislike me for being ugly, I'm very happy if I don't leave me aside." The ugly face picked off a tender leaf on the roadside bush and put it in his mouth Played the music.
"Now if my wish can be fulfilled, please give me wings like a bird. Please put pure white wings on this back... there is no sad free air flying on the wings of the wind. Regardless of wealth or reputation, I don’t need to give me wings, the dream of my childhood, I still hope so much..."
The melodious whistle echoed in the evening twilight, the sound was clear like a spring water, without any impurities, and the heart of the ugly face was like the cleanest water. This cold water sound is the echo of his soul, as long as he Only in this way can the soul be kept dust-free and not tainted by this era.
"Why should I abandon you? You are so good to me, and more importantly, even if only two of us are left in this world, because we have each other, we will not feel lonely, Captain, talk about future plans Well, I don’t know what will happen, so I look forward to it!" The ugly face replied.
"Well, at the end of the spring, the dark rock city in the mountains near the Fansko city state in the northwest of the mainland will open. I want to try my luck. This is one of the many miracles that is not controlled by the big forces and is not dangerous. Open, only one percent of people can’t come out, but it’s strange that those whose lives and deaths are unknown in the miracle are extremely powerful, very powerful characters, as if the miracle itself is resisting them, and the miracle is The available red-level explorers are a bit too tasteless, which leads to the reason why advanced explorers will not choose here, otherwise where there is our share." Michelle took out a map with densely marked on it Many place names.
"I have also heard of this miracle. It is said that there are some medicinal materials that can be of great use for the advancement of the gold level spirit. The crystal is the most striking. It is a gem that can permanently increase the protection of the spirit-resistance to crystallization. And this crystal can be stacked indefinitely, or the upper limit is very high. If the attack ability is permanently increased, it will probably be occupied by the big forces!" Ugly face is very interested.
The two passed through the lazy village in the evening. The shivering of Shiba Inu resounded loudly in the cool evening breeze. Someone waved a long whip in the distance, making a crackling sound, and it was getting late.
The sound of water from the Volga River came from afar, and along the river, going north, you could reach the city of Fanske. The large body of the Titan Water Spirit occupied nearly half of the river channel. The river with some ice floes floating on it was pushed out like a row of mountains and sea, and the red willows and birches on the shore were uprooted by the strong current.
"Captain, if you let the Titan Water Spirit take us on the road, will your family recognize it? If they see it, they will definitely be aware of your existence. I think this is very dangerous." Ugly face asked with concern. .
"It's okay, those of our family don't come inland, and the family's scope of activity is on the islands on the side of the Blue Sea, here is near the North Sea, separated by several ocean current areas, sea explorers are mainly water spirits , Their strength will be weakened on the mainland, they will not run to such a deep place on the mainland." Michelle reached out and stretched a strand of hair in front of her forehead behind her ear, and the wind on the river blew her skirt up. , Like a blooming gardenia.
The ugly face is made alive by the sweet fragrance of her body. This light, clean clothing scent is mixed with the body fragrance of the girl, and the smell of the evening breeze and river water makes people feel clean and sweet. If a girl is beautiful The capital is also simple and undressed, such a girl must be a good girl.
Sometimes happiness is so simple, two people, one world, no extra words, feeling each other's taste, temperature, breath, hair blown by the wind, an inadvertent wink, revel in the feeling of being close to each other , Everything need not be explained in words.
There is still a month before the miracle is opened. Michelle, who tasted the freedom, is like a little girl who has just been liberated from the room and fleeing wildly to the wilderness. She must use all her energy until she collapses. Ground.
She trekked into the mountains with ugly faces, picked wild fruits from the mountains, fished from springs, hunted for musk and roe deer, and used her strong bow to shoot the black bear who had just awakened from hibernation. It was like a happy queen of the jungle. The darling of Artemis. At this time, the ugly face followed her silently, helped her set up camping tents, arranged delicate traps, dug truffles under the trees, and fried them on charcoal fire with butter, just like he had done before.
Fansco City State, like Daxman, attracts a large number of explorers during the special period of each year. Once the time passes, people will go to the empty space. Due to this special environment, there are no fixed managers or these managers are all Ordinary people, the order will be chaotic after the explorers gather, and explorers with powerful forces are more likely to cause undisputed disputes.
Michelle has one gold-level intermediate-level water spirit and two gold-level primary-level water spirits, and the ugly face is three gold-level primary-level spirits. Their strength is average. They are not like Li Yi's half-month-old strength. The doubling of the metamorphosis is a very common combination among mainland high-level explorers.
"From the map, we are still a few hours away from the Fanske city-state. We are going to pass through a black stone basin, probably affected by miracles. The Fanske city-state is surrounded by black icy stones. The grass is hard to grow. These stones are hard. Incomparably, it reached the hardness of green metal." Michelle took out the map, the Volga River crossed the edge of the area, and they walked towards the destination.
Surrounded by black masonry rocks, the ground is also uneven, the strange rocks protruding from all over rise like fangs, the sky is getting late, and the black in the Blackstone Basin is scary. They naturally do not believe what gods and ghosts say. In the moonlight, I want to pass through the basin. I arrive at the Vanske city-state at dawn, find a hotel to stay in, and sleep for a day.
"You said there will be gangsters hiding in the cracks and shadows of those rocks. That's awful. There are many robbers who rob robbery explorers here every year!" Michelle looked a little scared.
"Are we encountering fewer robbers in the sea? You are just afraid of darkness, it doesn't matter." The ugly face comforted her.
After a while, they regretted that the terrain of the Blackstone Basin was uneven, following the mountain, avoiding the rocks that blocked the road. They had long deviated from the beginning. If it was okay during the day, the road was completely unclear at night, and they were not empty. , You can cross from above.
The estimated time passed long ago, and they gave up the idea of ​​arriving in Van Seccopolis before dawn. There was not much food left. The ugly face and Michelle were leaning against the rock, and a small dot was beside them. The small candles, the faint firelight cast their shadows on the rock walls, like two black ghosts.
"I'm so hungry, but there is no food, and there is not much water left," Michelle became mentally exhausted, her stomach seemed to be emptied, and she felt uncomfortable, her limbs were weak, "I blame me Miscalculation, alas! I didn't expect it to be like a maze."
"Don't say that, I didn't expect the terrain here to be so complicated. Who knows this ghost place is not a straight road. I have a little cake here, you eat it!" Ugly face took a slap from his arms. , The cake wrapped in oil paper, through the translucent packaging, you can vaguely see a decorated cherry and light yellow cream.
"Ah!" Michelle's heart was filled with small surprises, but then she fell again. "One person eats half, so little!"
"I'm not hungry, you eat it, you know, I always eat less." The ugly face put the cake in Michelle's palm, usually as their explorer, eating and drinking without worry, wanting to eat everything It's a very simple matter. The best dishes and top-quality dishes are at your fingertips. Now in the poor mountains and evil waters, even an animal can't see it, a common cake has become the biggest temptation.
"If I eat it all, I'll be embarrassed. Let's eat together!" Michelle swallowed a spit, broke the cake, and ate her portion quickly.
The ugly face smiled bitterly and put away the rest. "I really don't eat. I've always been a vegetarian. I haven't eat kombu soup rice on the boat, plus a little preserve."
After resting for a while, they watched the candle light and struggled out for a while, then they stood up and continued on.
Fortunately, there is a Polaris in the sky, they will not turn a big circle back to the original place.
In the dark, the two were silent. When they encountered the repressed environment around them, the less likely they were to speak, probably disgusted with such a dignified atmosphere. Michelle broke the silence. She asked quietly, "I always wanted to ask , Why is your face like that, why are you not going to heal, in fact, a healing spirit can be repaired as before, I really want to see what you look like." (To be continued.)
