Use foreign lands to conquer the whole of Europe

In the narrow dirt road, the two girls crawled cautiously.

Angie climbed ahead.At this moment, her whole body was covered with mud, and she didn't even dare to open her eyes, for fear that the mud would get into her eyes—it didn't matter whether she opened her eyes or not in the dark underground tunnel anyway.

This tunnel was too narrow, and only petite children like her and Iselin could pass through, so it was absolutely impossible for the fat middle-aged guard to catch her along this road.

At first, Angie was not used to this environment, but after she got used to it, she crawled faster.

Neither girl spoke.This overly difficult crawl required two hundred percent of their energy, and chatting while crawling would only add futile burdens to each other.

After climbing in silence for about ten minutes, Anji, who was exhausted, finally felt some light.Only then did she open her eyes a crack, speed up and crawl forward, and soon came to the end of the tunnel.

Here is the narrow vertical passage.It is barely wide enough to allow people to turn around, and an old wooden ladder leans against the rough dirt wall.

After taking a deep breath, Anji climbed up the wooden ladder without hesitation and came to the ground.

Looking around, she found that this was a wooden hut with closed doors and windows, and the only furnishings in the house were two tattered wooden chairs, which didn't look like someone lived there.

The long and difficult crawl exhausted Anji physically and mentally, who was already hungry.She sat down on one of the chairs at random, and then saw Estherine also climbed out of the hole.

Etherine was clearly exhausted, too.She put her hands on her knees, squatted her body, and took a few short breaths. Then she adjusted her state and said as she walked towards "Susanna":
"Before entering the tunnel, I used the straw in the dungeon to make some camouflage, which should buy me some time. The dungeon guard is a lazy guy, he must not dare to report the situation in the first place..."

Angie nodded silently, and watched as Estherine walked to the chair beside her, as if she wanted to sit down and rest for a while.

But at this moment, Estherine suddenly turned around.

Her movements were crisp and neat, and before Anji dodged, she had pressed the knife in her right hand against the latter's throat, then pressed Anji's shoulder with her left hand, and asked with a ferocious expression:

"Who the hell are you? Where did Susannah go!"

Feeling the slight tingling in the neck, Angie's expression froze slightly.

But after that moment, she had already recovered her normal expression, and calmly replied:
"It doesn't matter who I am, because you don't know me. As for where Suzanne went, I don't know."

The tingling sensation intensified again, and Angie could feel that the sharp blade had been slightly embedded in her fragile skin, and Etherine's hand holding the knife and the hand holding her left shoulder were trembling slightly.

"Are you a witch?" Estherine said through gritted teeth, a trace of blood appeared on her extremely pale face due to the excitement.

"No." Angie's mood was still calm.

Etherine was no match for her strength.Although Angie seems to be coerced by Iserine now, in fact, she can push Iserine away whenever she wants.

This girl is just pretending to be fierce.The way she is pressing Angie's shoulders now seems very tough, but it is a waste of energy-because Angie's hands and feet can move freely.

But the calm expression of "Susanna" deeply touched Iselin's nerves.Her anger became more and more intense, and the right hand holding the knife exerted force again, and asked the other party in a low growl:

"It's not a witch, so how did you manage to turn into Susanna! Do you think I'm easy to deceive?!"

"I really have nothing to do with the witch. This was originally Suzanne's body, and I was just thrown here by something that was not human. You who live in Norson Village should be able to feel that something is wrong with this village, right?"

Iselin was slightly taken aback, but soon she came back to her senses, slightly pressed the knife in her hand into the other's neck, and said with a ferocious expression:
"You just said that because you didn't want to be killed by me!"

"I know, you care about Suzanne very much. For the sake of your friends, you dared to climb into this tunnel alone and confront the witch. I am indeed not a witch, and I don't know the specific situation of this Norson village, so I can't answer your question for the time being. However, if you are willing to help me get out of here, maybe Susanna can come back."

Etherine froze on the spot.The other party's tone and expression were extremely gentle, and she was even praising her, but in fact, the knife in her hand had already cut the man's neck, and the slightly oozing blood was flowing down the girl's fair skin go.

No one has ever used the word "brave" to describe her.The villagers in Noelson Village only think that she is a little girl with a weird temper. In addition to her unreasonably pale hair and skin, she can often hear people whispering, "Maybe that Iserine is the witch's family?" ".

She dared not muster up the courage to defend herself, because even if she spoke, no one would listen.

People will only believe what they want to believe, and those things that are contrary to their cognition will be regarded as "wrong" or "deceitful" by default.

Her parents have only a mediocre relationship with her, and Suzanne, the only one who is willing to treat her sincerely, is not good at complimenting others.In Estherine's heart, she has been secretly looking forward to meeting someone who is willing to affirm and appreciate herself.

But receiving compliments under such circumstances was something she had never thought of, not to mention the fact that the other party was being coerced by her, which made Estherine not know how to deal with it for a while.

She bit her lip in confusion, and felt that this would appear a little cowardly, so she glared fiercely at the suspected witch in front of her.

And at this moment, she saw the other party smiling gently, and spoke again:
"Although it's not me you want to save, I still want to thank you. You are a smart and brave girl, and I believe you can understand part of the current situation—or, have you ever heard of the word alien?"

The complicated emotions in Estherine's heart were immediately dispelled by this question.She frowned, she was sure that she had never heard such an obscure word, but she did have a certain reaction to this word in her head, like...

Something very important has been unknowingly forgotten.

Seeing Iserine's extremely shaken expression, Anji suddenly understood, and the smile on his face became stronger:

"Oh... I just said this with the mentality of giving it a try, but I didn't expect it to be wrong. Let's go to a safer place and talk again?"

Estherine silently looked at the girl who was pinned on the chair by her. After thinking for a long time, she took back the knife and said in a bad voice:
"There's no safe place here... We can only go back at night. It's too conspicuous to bring you, a fugitive, home during the day."

"Okay. What time is it?"

"In the evening, it's going to be dark soon." Estherine glanced at the smiling guy and asked displeasedly, "Name. I don't want to call you Susanna."

"Angie," Angie replied truthfully, and then asked casually, "Did you lure the guard out of that dungeon?"

"...It was my parents who held him back."

Estherine was silent for a while before reluctantly answering Angie's question, then she suddenly became depressed and said softly:

"It doesn't matter if you're not Susanna, anyway, we can't live for more than two days—this Norson village will probably be completely destroyed in Witch Night."

Because of poor grades, I opened the free mode_(:з」∠)_
Sorry for subscribing to this little cutie,
I also posted the specific situation in the discussion thread. Although it is sad to say this, this book has 40 words and still only has 1 subscription. I can no longer lie to myself that the situation will get better.

This has nothing to do with the number of words, probably because my writing is too bad hhh
Internet articles still have to be fast-paced, and normally speaking, 40 words are enough for others to write a complete article.

I am indeed introspecting myself seriously, but it may not be the future.Writing is actually a heavy burden for me, and it still doesn't show any improvement until now. My enthusiasm and confidence have basically been exhausted.So I haven't posted the author's statement at the end of the chapter for a long time, after all, few people can see it here.

There are still two manuscripts on deposit. I probably need to adjust my mentality these days... If I get better after free or if I convince myself, I will probably continue to write.

I like this book very much myself, but my perseverance is still not firm enough.I used to always think that as long as there are too many words, someone will read it, but now it seems that I was too naive back then hhh
It is actually very difficult to admit that my writing is not good, but now I can slowly accept this, after all, the grades are there.

Thank you so much for being here.
