Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job

Chapter 52

Time passed little by little, and the moonlight gradually dimmed. This is the darkness before dawn, and it is also the time when human beings sleep most deeply.

Just when Wayne thought he was going to return without success tonight.

I don't know if it was due to the luck attribute, but with his keen eyesight, he suddenly saw a child's palm sticking out of the mouth of the well, pawing at the edge of the well.

Wayne's eyes froze, his guess was right, the monster really came out of the wellhead.

However, he did not act rashly, but hid quietly in the dark, wanting to take this opportunity to see what this monster was trying to do.

After more than ten seconds, a metal watering can was thrown out from the mouth of the well, and then a little thing with purple skin, a wreath on its head, and a pair of big watery eyes crawled out of the well.

Wayne took a closer look, and sure enough, he guessed right, the source of this matter was really a little earth spirit, and it was a rather young little earth spirit.

This discovery made Wayne breathe a sigh of relief. Compared with those demon spirits or other monsters, the little land spirit is definitely a kind, docile, peace-loving intelligent creature.

This is a shy, intelligent, hardworking creature who likes to take care of other flowers and plants or small animals near the place of residence. It is also called a guardian spirit by many scholars.

They resemble human children in behavior and appearance, and like children they are mischievous.

When being treated kindly, they will secretly help the locals do what they can.

And when they are treated roughly, they will feel very offended and will play pranks and magic tricks on the locals.

But this kind of creature doesn't like a lively environment. When a village gradually becomes prosperous and prosperous, and forgets the tradition, they will quietly leave the village and migrate to more remote caves or unknown places.

Recalling the knowledge about the little earth spirit recorded in these books, Wayne quietly watched the little guy's actions from the window on the second floor.

This should be a young female earth spirit, with bluish-purple skin, wearing a wet unknown animal skin coat. To humans, it looks ugly, but its temperament is quite gentle, with an ugly and cute feeling.

After she climbed up to the well, she looked around at a loss. Seeing that no one had noticed her, she carefully picked up the metal watering can she threw out, looked at the location of the well, and murmured an unknown spell.

Under the power of magic, the metal watering can slowly floated in the air, then fell into the well, and flew out again, filled with clean water.

This scene made Wayne a little surprised. Although intelligent creatures like the little land spirits have some special spell-like abilities, it is quite rare for juveniles like this to be able to use magic proficiently.

After filling the water with magic, Little Earth Spirit seemed to be very happy. She lifted the metal watering can with some difficulty, then swung around the house, and slowly came from the backyard to the garden in the front yard.

While humming strange songs, he watered the flowers and trees in the garden with a kettle, and picked up a small shovel in the garden to help those flowers and plants loosen the soil and fertilize, like a hardworking little gardener.

Seeing this scene, Wayne was stunned.

No wonder, after the owner left, the flowers and plants in the garden can still grow so luxuriantly. It turns out that someone secretly took care of them at night.

Although she was only half a meter tall by visual inspection, with a thin body, it was quite strenuous to work, but Wayne could tell that this little guy seemed to enjoy it.

About an hour later, Xiao Diling ran back and forth between the well and the front yard four or five times, and she didn't finish all the work until the sun was about to rise.

Then, the little guy wiped the sweat from his forehead, put the used tools back one by one, and seemed to be ready to return.

Seeing the little guy holding the metal watering can, turning his head three times at a step, and reluctantly walking towards the mouth of the well, Wayne couldn't help showing a smile.

He quietly rolled down from the second floor and hid in the corner outside the house. It wasn't until the little guy walked past him that he coughed lightly and said:
"Hey! What's your name, little one?"

Wayne's voice obviously startled Xiao Diling.

The little guy trembled when he heard the words, and couldn't help but took two or three steps back. The metal watering can in his hand also fell to the ground. The big watery eyes looked at Wayne with some horror, and his whole body trembled.

Seeing this, Wayne also took a step back, raised his hands to signal himself, and didn't mean to hurt her.

But the little earth spirit cub seemed to be very afraid of humans, and even though Wayne appeared to be harmless, she was quite scared.

She picked up a colorful little conch hanging on her chest with her small hand, and blew it lightly. Under Wayne's surprised eyes, the little guy's body gradually became transparent, and finally disappeared directly in front of his eyes.

If she was facing an ordinary person, she might panic, thinking that the little earth spirit had simply disappeared.

But the trembling badge on Wayne's chest and his keen senses told him that the little guy in front of him probably just used some kind of illusion to hide his figure, and her body was still in front of him.

The most obvious evidence is the small footprints that the little guy stepped on the grass in the backyard when he moved.

Wayne chuckled, looked at where the footprints moved, and said kindly:
"Don't worry, little guy, I'm a demon hunter, but I don't mean anything malicious, I just came here and wanted to chat with you."

It seemed that the word of the witcher caught the little guy's attention, she stopped moving, and there was silence in the air for about ten seconds.

A childish voice came from the air.

"Demon hunter? Is that the kind of person whose job is to kill evil monsters? I've seen these stories in books."

Wayne thought for a while, did not affirm this statement, but explained:
"Yes, but a person's occupation can't change his good and evil. Even demon hunters have bad guys. Some demon hunters will kill innocent people indiscriminately, not just killing evil monsters."

The little guy's voice was silent for a few seconds, and then he asked:
"You said you wanted to talk, witcher, what do you want to talk about?"

This little guy seems to be quite smart, even smarter than human girls of the same age. Wayne also became interested and said:

"I got word that the owner of this house was always suffering from all sorts of mischief, had nightmares every night, and got hurt because of it."

"This is a human house, why are you doing this, why are you driving them away?"

Hearing what Wayne said, the little guy immediately denied it and said:

"No, I didn't do it. My brother Fitz did it. He thinks that these humans have disturbed the altar of the goddess. He must drive them away, otherwise it is disrespectful to the goddess."

"My father stopped him, but my brother was too stubborn to listen to his father's advice."

"Those humans were driven away quietly by him."

Wayne was taken aback when he heard the words. It seems that he guessed wrong. The source of this matter was not just a little earth spirit, but a family of the little earth spirit, and even the goddess was involved.

"Which goddess is it? Little guy."

"Is the altar of the goddess near here?"

Little Earth Spirit seemed quite innocent, she thought about it for a few seconds, and said without any concealment:

"It's the goddess of the lake, the altar that our family has worshiped for generations is in the cave below this house."

"You humans build big houses on it, make all kinds of noise every day, drive away the surrounding creatures, and have affected the peace of the goddess."

"That's why my brother is so angry and wants to drive away the people in this house."
