Chapter 52 Little Earth Spirit Cub
Time passes little by little, and the moonlight gradually dims. This is the darkness before dawn, and it is also the time when humans sleep the deepest.
Just when Wayne thought he was going to be in vain tonight.
I don't know if it was due to the luck attribute, but with his keen vision, he suddenly saw a hand that looked like a child's hand stretching out of the well mouth and touching the edge of the well mouth.
Wayne's eyes narrowed. His guess was indeed correct. The monster did come out of the well.
However, he did not act rashly, but quietly hid in the dark, hoping to take this opportunity to see what this monster wanted to do.
After more than ten seconds, a metal watering can was thrown out 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 correctly. The source of this incident was really a little earth spirit, and a very young one at that.
This discovery made Wayne quietly sigh in relief. Compared with those demon spirits or other monsters, the little earth spirits can definitely be regarded as kind, gentle, and peace-loving intelligent creatures.
This is a kind of creature that is shy, smart, and hard-working in nature, and likes to take care of other flowers, plants, and small animals near its residence. It is also called a guardian spirit by many scholars.
They are similar in behavior and appearance to human children, and they also like to play tricks like children.
When treated kindly, they will secretly help the locals do whatever they can.
When they are treated roughly, they will feel 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 more populous, becomes prosperous and rich, and forgets its traditions, 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 second-floor window.
This should be a female young earth spirit, with blue-purple skin and wearing a wet coat of unknown animal skin. For humans, it looks ugly, but its temperament is quite gentle, giving it an ugly and cute feeling.
After she climbed up to the well, she looked around a little helplessly. After seeing that no one had noticed her, she carefully picked up the metal watering can she threw out, looked at the position of the well, and muttered an unknown verse. Spell.
Under the power of magic, the metal watering can slowly floated into the air, then descended into the well, and flew out again, filled with clean water.
This scene surprised Wayne. Although intelligent creatures like little earth spirits also have some special spell-like abilities, it is quite rare for such young bodies to be able to use magic skillfully.
After using magic to fetch water, the little earth spirit seemed quite happy. She lifted the metal watering can with some difficulty, then swayed around the house and slowly came from the backyard to the garden in the front yard.
While humming strange songs, he watered the flowers, plants and trees in the garden with a kettle. He also picked up a small shovel in the garden to help loosen the soil and fertilize the flowers and plants, just like a hard-working little gardener.
Seeing this scene, Wayne suddenly felt enlightened.
No wonder, after the owner here 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, her body was thin, and it was quite difficult for her to work, but Wayne could tell that this little guy seemed to enjoy it.
About an hour later, the little earth spirit ran back and forth between the well and the front yard four or five times. It was not until the sun was about to rise that she finished all the work.
Then, the little guy wiped the sweat from his forehead and put the used tools back to their place one by one, as if he was ready to return.
Seeing the little guy holding the metal watering can, turning his head three times and reluctantly walking towards the mouth of the well, Wayne couldn't help but smile.
He quietly climbed down from the second floor and hid at the corner outside the house. It wasn't until the little guy passed by him that he coughed lightly and said:
"Hey! What's your name, little guy?"
Wayne's voice obviously startled the little earth spirit.
The little guy trembled when he heard the words, and couldn't help but take two or three steps back. The metal watering can in his hand also fell to the ground. His big watery eyes looked at Wayne with some horror, and his whole body was trembling. Upon seeing this, Wayne took a step back and raised his hands to indicate that he had no intention of harming her.
But this little earth spirit cub seems to be very afraid of humans. Even though Wayne behaves harmlessly, she is still quite scared.
She picked up a colorful little conch hanging on her chest with her little hands and blew it gently. In Wayne's surprised eyes, the little guy's body gradually became transparent, and finally disappeared directly under him. in front of my eyes.
If she were facing an ordinary person, she might panic and think 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 left on the grass in the backyard when the little guy moves.
Wayne chuckled lightly, looked at the position where the footprints moved, and said kindly:
"Don't worry, little guy, I am a demon hunter, but I don't mean any harm. I just come here to have a chat with you."
It seems. It was the word "witcher" that caught the little one's attention. She stopped moving, and there was silence in the air for about ten seconds.
A childish voice came from the air.
"A demon hunter? Are you the kind of person who kills evil monsters as a profession? I have seen these stories in books." Wayne thought for a while, but did not confirm this statement,
but explained:
"Yes, But a person’s occupation cannot change his good or evil. Even demon hunters have bad people, and some demon hunters will kill innocent people indiscriminately, not just 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 seemed to be quite smart, even better than human girls of the same age. Even smarter, Wayne also became interested and said:
"I received news that the owner of this house always suffers all kinds of pranks, has nightmares every night, and also suffers some injuries." "
This is human. House, why did you do this, why did you drive them away?"
Hearing Wayne's words, the little guy immediately denied it and said:
"No, it wasn't me, it was my brother Fitz who did it. He thought these humans were disturbing. They must be driven away from the altar of the goddess, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the goddess." "
My father stopped him, but my brother was too stubborn and did not listen to his father's advice." "
He secretly drove away those humans. ."
Wayne was stunned when he heard this. It seems that he guessed wrong. The source of this incident was not just a small earth spirit, but a family of small earth spirits, and even involved the goddess.
"Which goddess is it? Little one."
"Is the altar of the goddess nearby?"
The little earth spirit seemed to be quite innocent. She thought about it for a few seconds and said without concealment:
"It's the Lady of the Lake. We The altar that the family has worshiped for generations is in the cave under 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." "So
I That’s why my brother is so angry and wants to drive away the people in this house.”
