Chapter 61 Chapter 60

He was so close to me that I couldn't see him. I held my breath and ran through all the possible scenarios in my mind.First of all, my hand is still on the doorknob, and I can still quickly open the door and rush out, provided that the door is not locked; Any fighting skill, but at this close distance, if I concentrate, the chances of hitting the target are very small. But the opponent's hand was suddenly lightly placed on my elbow.This small move disrupted all my above plans, and I was stunned. "Don't do stupid things." The other party's hand wrapped around my waist, and completely sent me, who was stiff, into his arms.He bowed his head and fell on my shoulder like a lover.Some tiny fluff rubbed against my ears and itched my ears. I turned my head involuntarily and saw the orange-red beak of the opponent and the protruding black wart on the upper edge.

"Who are you?" I trembled under the control of the other party, but I must know the answer. "A friend." The swan gently rubbed against my face with his smooth beak, and my whole body was shocked. This kind of horrifying intimacy made a dimple on my neck. "Are you also a wind elf?" I said hoarsely, but I didn't know why I asked. Swan was silent for a second, then he whispered into my ear, "You just need to know that I'm on your side now." He let me go. I immediately turned around, took a step back, and stared at the swan man in Chinese clothes with wide eyes.I just heard the conversation between him and the king with my own ears, and I saw with my own eyes that he is a powerful minister beside the king.At this moment he even told me that he was on my side.My mind is full of doubts.I can't convince myself.

"We need the white windbird," said the swan. "Melanie?" My eyes lit up. Swan nodded, "She is crucial in this plan." "Plan? What plan?" I was even more confused. "For the people here, it's a rebellion." Swan lowered his voice, "but for the people outside, it's a revolution, a necessary change on the road to freedom." I opened my mouth wide in surprise, "So, you are..." "Hush..." Swan made a gesture of silence, and he nodded, "I'm with you." I took a deep breath.The political chaos of the Wind Clan turned out to be far from what I expected, and Sylph's power spread across the ruling and opposition parties.I wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, thinking that I would have naively thought that he was D.But if he is Silf's friend, then he is my friend and D's friend.So I let my guard down and asked him, "So are we going to save Melanie now?"

"Wait a little longer," said the swan, "your potion hasn't been prepared yet." "My... potion?" I stared at him, completely confused. The swan glanced at me, "You look so eye-catching, we can't go anywhere." "You mean..." Before I could finish my sentence, the door suddenly opened a crack.A pink parrot slid in sideways. I looked at her in shock, because this was the parrot girl who was hostile to me in the banquet hall.How ridiculous, just now I thought she was... The parrot was holding a tall glass half full of cloudy liquid.Her head feathers drooped and she looked listless, as if this job was the last thing in the world she wanted to do.She handed me the glass.

"What is this?" I took the glass, frowned and sniffed it. An indescribable smell rushed into my nose, like a mixture of various herbs and a strong aroma of alcohol. "Drink it and you will become like us," said the swan. I looked up from my glass and stared at him suspiciously.What does it mean to be "like them?" And in such a dangerous place, how could I just drink a drink handed to me by a stranger?Besides, I don't even know what it is!I've already eaten a poisonous fruit and don't want to make the same mistake again. "Trust me," said the swan.

I really don't trust him.But what other options do I have?I don't.Choosing to believe him is currently the easiest way to answer.I'm alone, and I can't save Melanie, Little S, and Emily.I don't even know if I'll live to see D.And D always made me believe him. Swan also made me trust him.I don't know if it's because the special sentence pattern of the other party completely overlaps with my memory, and I was bewitched.I actually picked up that cup of something I didn't know what it was, and drank it down. I think I'm crazy.I've never drank anything so horrible.It was like a fire-breathing snake, with a spicy aura, it jumped directly into the throat.I coughed violently.Then the second I put the glass down, the skin on my face started itching.I reached out to grab it, and if the swan hadn't covered my mouth, I would have screamed absolutely immediately.

Because I touched a feather.At the same time, I saw that the long hair on my shoulders suddenly shortened, and when I reached out to touch it, the top of my head had become shaggy.I was terrified.I stared at the swan in front of me with wide, terrified eyes, completely at a loss.I think I'm about to cry. "Don't worry, this dose is only good for a few hours." Swan patted my hand and took the glass. "Believe me, you are very cute now." He smiled slightly, then opened the door first, and walked out openly.The parrot followed closely behind him without saying a word.

The sudden glare stung my eyes. I raised my hand and squinted through my fingers to see the magnificent palace and large green plants in front of me, as well as the king vultures and secretary birds patrolling everywhere. I dare not take a step. But when they saw me, they turned their eyes away immediately without staring at me for a second.It's as if I'm supposed to be here, as if I've suddenly become one of them.Everyone has turned the "see me here" thing into something so normal and natural as eating and sleeping every day. I suddenly remembered that the swans had said to me that I would "become like them".I stroked my new feathers, which now covered my entire face.I can't believe it, it didn't occur to me that he meant it literally, not metaphorically or any other figure of speech at all.

I see a decorative mirror on the wall ahead.I walked over a few steps. I first saw two orange eyes, round and large, staring at me in shock like two bright lights in the mirror.The eyes are surrounded by black eye sockets, surrounded by a circle of off-white short down, while the eyebrows and nose are covered by off-white long down, surrounding a pointed and short black beak below.My face is round, covered with short dark brown and light brown spotted feathers, and there are several tufts of long feathers of the same color sticking out from the top of my head, like two pointed ears. This look is all too familiar to me.

I turned into an owl.
