Obviously, facing her nominal "mother", Little Red Riding Hood was very cautious and thought for a long time.
Perhaps it is recalling every detail of these years, or perhaps it is assessing the possible consequences of various actions.
"Can Mr. Gray Rabbit hand over control of her to me?" Little Red Riding Hood asked.
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. Only I can control her."
"Then, could you please lead her back to the witch's territory with me?"
< br>
Wei Miao readily agreed: "It's up to you."
The witch territory is a collection of residences for witches. Each witch occupies sufficient geographical space to facilitate private research. Only invited guests are welcome.
Witches are territorial, and intruders like Ojan often become experimental materials for witches.
So, Elsa pretended to hold Little Red Riding Hood's hand, and Wei Miao followed slowly behind them.
Arrived at the witch territory safely. It is located some distance away from the market, mainly to ensure that the witches have enough space for activities.
There is no obvious boundary mark in the witch's territory. The default is that the residence radiates about 200 meters away. Their residences are sometimes hidden in the shadows of the jungle. This is why Ao Jian, who was too weak to think clearly at the time, got into this by mistake.
At this moment, as far as the eye can see, warm orange lights can be faintly seen everywhere in the woods, like sporadic fireflies flickering silently.
The beautiful little courtyard of Elsa the Witch stands in the darkness.
A thick white stone exterior wall glows with a faint cold light at night, blocking the sight of curious people. The tall door pillars are carved with simple and elegant zigzag relief patterns.
Aisha stood in front of the wrought iron gate, muttering something in a low voice, and a ball of magic power gathered in her hand near the door lock.
The lever lock on the door clicked to the ground.
Wei Miao walked into the courtyard and looked around curiously.
The stone path at your feet connects to the main body of the house not far away. The interior of the courtyard is laid out like a flower bed, with lush flowers and plants growing in rows of flower beds. There is a lawn space left in front of the house, with a round table and a crooked deck chair.
There is even a folded parasol next to the chair.
Wei Miao's mind has already imagined Aisha's daily life posture.
There is no clear boundary between life and research for witches. They can work hard and enjoy life in their free time. For example, on a sunny day, they can lie on a lounge chair and look at the garden full of herbs, and have a cup of afternoon tea.
The exquisite small western-style house is not much different from the house owned by another witch in the secret realm. The only thing worth noting is that there is a small semi-circular balcony above the porch. If you lean on the stone railing decorated with flowers and look down, you can have a panoramic view of the courtyard.
"Please wait here."
Little Red Riding Hood broke away from Elsa's hand and took out a handful of bright blue metal with inscriptions on the surface from the gap in the flower bed on the side. key.
Wei Miao recognized it at a glance, it was an inscribed key, which has been very popular in the high-end market since its birth. It is said that a high-end implicit etching process is used, which can only be produced by elite inscription masters. An advanced inscription called "resonance" is used to verify the consistency of the lock and key. If you want to copy an inscribed key, you need to destroy its integrity to understand the internal inscribed structure. But if you can destroy the key, why not just use it to open the lock?
The contradiction between use and reproduction greatly improves its security.
There is a professional door lock shop in the gathering place market. The clerk was very enthusiastic when he saw her, and Wei Miao naturally responded enthusiastically. After deliberately building a closer relationship, Wei Miao satisfied the clerk's vanity by asking for advice in a humble way, and asked about some superficial principles. In the end, even though she walked out of the store empty-handed, the clerk still watched her leave with a smile on his face.
Little Red Riding Hood opened the door of her house smoothly, walked in and turned on the light, while Wei Miao waited outside with interest.
After waiting for half an hour, Little Red Riding Hood came out with a glass of water.
Wei Miao was sitting on a lounge chair in the courtyard, looking at the three-wheeled moon in the sky.
She is sorting out her thoughts these days.
The movement of Little Red Riding Hood interrupted her thoughts. When she heard the sound and left, she saw that the transparent glass in Little Red Riding Hood's hand contained about 200ml of unknown light yellow liquid, which was clear and free of impurities.
Wei Miao asked curiously: "This is?"
Little Red Riding Hood said calmly: "It's just a magic potion that can make people lose their self-awareness."
"If there is such a method, why wasn't it used before?"
"You should know that once I meditate and practice, I will speed up the development of my bloodline... In short, I don't have magic power, so I can't solve the access control of the potion workshop. I don't dare to let her find out that I have extraordinary knowledge." Little Red Riding Hood explained, "There is a connection between Aisha and the access control. It takes time for me to prepare the potion."
Wei Miao controlled Ai. Aisha stepped forward to take the water glass and asked: "I'm curious, why do you know that you will be used as a material for the blood inheritance potion?"
"This is not difficult to guess. Aisha is at the peak of her apprenticeship. , her understanding of magic is pretty good, and the only thing that can trouble her to move forward is blood. Young witches usually don't have children, and only old witches will consider having children, because they are about to reach the end of their lives and their spiritual power. She is not as active as before, and her strength will not only be sealed, but may also regress, so she is willing to share part of her blood for inheritance, which is equivalent to the continuation of her life."
" Aisha is not yet that age, and she is in her final 'struggle period'. 'Youth' does not directly jump to 'old age'. There is a period of peak maintenance in the middle, and then her strength will continue to decline. When it is as stagnant as being nailed to the cross, it is the end of the maintenance period. The witch self-deprecatingly calls it the "struggle period". "
"The peak apprentice witch who is in the struggling period, the bottleneck of her bloodline is bothering her. Isn't the purpose of giving birth to an offspring obvious at this moment?"
Little Red Riding Hood's tone at this moment seemed to be that of an experienced senior, speaking lightly. He evaluated the mother of his own blood.
No one would believe that Little Red Riding Hood could say these words at her age and appearance unless she saw it with her own eyes.
She knows everything.
Wei Miao threw out a test: "But the average descendant may not even know what the blood successor potion is. Besides, you don't have any practice, which means you discovered this very early... Yes I always suspected that there was another soul living in your body.”
Approximately how early is it? One data is that witches can start practicing at the age of three.
So Wei Miao is very interested in her. More deeply, she wants to know the essence of Little Red Riding Hood.
As she said, she is shrouded in mystery.
