Chapter 26 The child's

spikes gradually enlarged in front of Selsi's eyes. Selsi raised the dagger with all her strength, but before she could drop it, the silk scarf on her neck suddenly enlarged and wrapped around her.

Selsi was confused, and the bamboo that was attacking its prey was also confused. It suddenly couldn't find its prey. Selsi was wrapped in the silk scarf and was surprised to find that the ability of the silk scarf was to make the wearer's breath blend with nature. The bamboo forest could not find its prey and slowly returned to its original appearance. It looked so peaceful and peaceful.

Selsi crawled out of the bamboo forest little by little. She was really exhausted and it was difficult to open her eyes.

Aurelia, who was cleaning her wound outside the forest, raised her eyes and saw a pupa of a cricket pupa. She thought it was another new monster, so she quickly stood up and picked up the knife to prepare for it.

As soon as Selsi crawled out of the forest, the silk scarf was tied back around her neck. Aurelia also saw clearly that it was not a pupa but Selsi who was wrapped. She slowly came to Selsi's front and used her hand to detect her breath. There was still breathing, but it was very weak.

She reached out to touch Celsi's magic bag. There was a big hole in the bag, and the contents had basically leaked out. Aurelia searched for a long time and only found a pill of unknown function. She stuffed the pill into Celsi's mouth. As for whether it would work, it depended on her luck. Celsi's tattered body was barely able to survive.

Celsi was still very weak when she opened her eyes. The first thing she asked was, "Are you okay?"

She struggled to get up, forced herself to adjust her breath, and pretended that she was fine.

Aurelia didn't know how to respond. She had never encountered such a situation before.

Celsi saw that Aurelia's wounds had not been treated yet. She lowered her head to look for medicine in her magic bag, but the medicine was gone. Celsi frowned and struggled to find her plain clothes from inside. She used a knife to cut the plain clothes into strips of cloth and pulled Aurelia's hand to bandage her wound.

Aurelia had been in a state of semi-consciousness and semi-confusion from just now until now. Her whole body froze when Selsi pulled her hand. Seeing Selsi leaving her wounds alone and carefully bandaging her, she didn't know how to deal with it, and she felt a little guilty.

In fact, she was acting just now. She had the opportunity to break free from the bamboo sticks, but she didn't struggle because she wanted to see her reaction. She didn't expect that she would protect herself at the cost of her life. Until she was kicked out of the bamboo forest and saw the airtight bamboo cage, she felt a great panic in her heart, as if she was going to lose something important forever.

Thinking of this, Aurelia knew what to say. She was about to open her mouth, but her mind was not clear and she fainted.

Or Selsi's heart took it all. Aurelia fainted again without warning. Selsi guessed that she would not wake up for a while, so she decided to bandage her wounds first. After bandaging, Selsi sat next to Aurelia to recuperate.

When Selsi was about to collapse, she saw Aurelia's body shrinking rapidly, and stopped at the age of fourteen.

Selsi's hair stood up in fear. What if the "unbearable past" was not just a regression of memory? The difference between the body of a twenty-year-old and a twenty-four-year-old is not big, so she looks the same, but the difference between the body of a fourteen-year-old and a twenty-four-year-old is big. According to this calculation, if her body keeps shrinking, she will disappear in the end!

Selsi noticed that Aurelia's fingers moved, and she quickly adjusted her state and prepared to face this little Aurelia.

Aurelia sat up, her loose top hanging on her shoulders, and her loose black hair covered most of her cheeks.

"Where is this place, where is Nerida?" Aurelia turned her head and saw Selsi looking at her, "Ah!"

Aurelia subconsciously wanted to step back, but Selsi grabbed her hand and prevented her from falling.

"Thank you." Aurelia took her hand back awkwardly. "Excuse me, where am I?"

Aurelia looked at the stranger with a vigilant face. Selsi patiently explained, "This is an illusion. You accidentally fell down." She did not explain their past too much. She knew that she would not believe it easily now.

Aurelia guessed that there was some truth in this statement. She remembered that Nerida asked her to go to the woods to play today. She did not remember that there was any entrance to the secret place in the woods behind the mansion. It might be that she just didn't know.

She looked at the person in front of her. The worry in her eyes did not seem to be fake. Nerida said that she could trust her more when facing people who care about her. She politely asked Selsi, "Sister, did you save me?" She felt the pain on her body and saw the bandage on it.

Selsi nodded, and Aurelia suddenly smiled: "Thank you, sister."

Selsi was happy that she was close to her, but Aurelia suddenly changed her tone: "Then who are you, sister?" Why did a stranger appear in the secret place behind the mansion? Who sent her? Is there any secret that cannot be told?

Selsi admired her alertness and was not angry. She told her her identity: "My name is Selsi, I am a bard. I was invited by Duke Caedmon to write for him. I accidentally fell here while wandering in the backyard."

Selsi lied a little. Anyway, she couldn't remember it, so she could make up an identity to get closer to the child.

Aurelia looked at the sincerity in her eyes and felt that she should not lie. Besides, there was no need for her father to tell her what he wanted to do. Thinking of this, her eyes were obscure and she didn't want to think about the scars on their bodies.

Selsi looked at the complexity in Aurelia's eyes and tried to divert her attention, "Child, the most important thing for us now is to leave here first." Selsi's words really diverted Aurelia's attention. Anyway, she was used to it, wasn't she?

She didn't know how long it would take to leave this illusion. She was a polite child and took the initiative to introduce herself to Selsi: "My name is Aurelia."

"Hello~ Little Aurelia." Selsi repeated softly. Aurelia was a little shy. She was so gentle. Nereida had never called her so gently. Of course, it wasn't that Nereida was bad

. She was her best friend. She was anxious to defend her friend in her heart. Although no one asked her, she would not allow anyone to slander her best friend, including herself.
