The New Civilization of Witches

Chapter 21: What you really want

When Nightingale finished, the room was quiet again, only occasionally could the crackling of lit candles be heard.

Roland had a serious expression on his face, and he finally had a general understanding of the witches.

Most witches wake up during

Moon Demon. It was, according to legend, when the gates of hell opened.

In general, maturity is the dividing line for a witch, after the age of 18, any woman who has not woken up will probably never be a witch,

but women who wake up before they turn 18 must endure pain, like spirits devouring their bodies, every year on the day of their resurrection.

This unimaginable pain caused,

Nightingale's voice clearly trembled as she came to this part of her explanation.

According to his personal experience, it was like something was trying to get out of his body. In every vein, muscle, and tendon,

an unbearable pain would appear, and blood would seep out from one's skin and eyes would bulge out from their sockets...

If you can survive all of this, your body will need four to five days to recover, but if you can't survive,

Not only will you die of grievous torment, but also the moment of your death will be a spectacle too terrible to bear. .

Nightingale had witnessed the death of some friends; their bodies would lose the ability to support themselves,

and they will turn into round and bulging meatballs. Blood mixed with other bodily fluids and internal organs would spurt out from every possible hole, he said,

and the air around the body will turn into black fog. When finally everything was probably violently removed, only a layer of burnt black skin remained on the ground.

This was the reason why the witches were considered as demonic droplets.

When looking at this scene, ordinary people would naturally be frightened,

so who cares about the real cause of their death?

In addition, the church added fuel to the fire, claiming that the witches were possessed by evil spirits,

so over time, the witches became evil incarnations.

Regardless of how outsiders looked at them, this kind of torture was real; witches were generally short-lived because of this.

Every year it would become harder to survive, so many witches would choose to end their own lives.

When a witch turns 18 and matures, the pain of devouring evil spirits is known as the most difficult checkpoint to cross.

In fact, the magic that the witches obtained before the checkpoint was incomplete. Only in adulthood will this power become stable.

After the stability of their magic, there was a substantial increase in their strength, and there was even a possibility to develop a new magic branch.

Unfortunately, that process of stability was extremely painful, the pain of feeling their own bodies being devoured went beyond the limits an ordinary person could bear, he said,

and many witches will die on their adult days.

Roland, after listening to this explanation went silent for a long time, he just whispered,

"In the ancient books it is recorded that the witches in the Holy Mountain gained eternal peace, the,

without having to suffer the torment of the devil, is this true?"

"Nobody knows this, because the Holy Mountain only appears in legends.

But if we take them to the camp of the Witches of the Cooperation Association, their chances of survival will be much greater.

If the witches did not need to hide themselves, if we could live freely, then the pain devouring the evil spirits would be much weaker compared to the past. "

For a moment Roland was very upset, because his plan would not have worked without Anna and

Help Nana,

but because of his plan they had to bear a huge risk.

He really can't help it. In the end he weakly said,

"Anna is downstairs, I'll ask her to come over, If she wants, you can take her and go.

As for Nana, I have to see her tomorrow."

"Thank you for your understanding, I really have the right impression of you," Nightingale stood up to express her gratitude.

At this time Anna had not fallen asleep, so when Roland went to pick her up, she sat properly at the table copying something.She looked surprised to see Roland.

When he heard he had to go to the Prince's room,

Anna did not ask any questions and obediently followed him into her room.

When he entered the room to find that there was someone there, the young girl was completely terrified.

Roland took his hand and briefly introduced them to each other, and the three surrounded the round table and sat down.

Then Nightingale repeated the words they said earlier,

Miss Anna, even though you and I have signed an employment contract, in case of a potentially life-threatening situation, I must respect your opinion.

"If you agree".

"I'm not leaving."

Roland fell silent, "What are you saying"

"I said I won't go" Anna said at lightning speed to cut Roland's sentence,

"I want to stay here."

"Anna, I'm not lying to you." Nightingale frowned,

"i can feel your magic rising in your body, it's getting closer to maturity.

Two months after the beginning of the Demon Moon will be your day of maturity, if we take you to the camp before then, it will be much safer. "

Roland thought he understood

Anna's personality was before, but now she realizes that she really doesn't understand it.

Looking into his eyes, he could not read any emotions. There was no dependency, he also did not adore her, he could not see anything.

He remembered the scene when they met for the first time. At that moment, he also had a calm expression.

The difference now was that at this moment her face was filled with life, like a blossoming flower.

He was still not afraid of death, but now he did not wait for his execution like last time.

"being eaten by an evil spirit will not kill me" Anna said confidently,

"I'll beat him."

Nightingale closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "..Well, that's enough, understand!"

"Are you going alone, just like that?" Roland asked.

"No, I have a good life here." she covered her head with a hood and stood up, she said,

"By the way, before the end of this month the demon camp will not move."

"Why?" Roland was surprised,

did he also want to monitor them throughout the winter?

“I think people who have not experienced the process of maturity cannot understand how dangerous it is.

I myself was on the verge of death again and again, I also witnessed the death of my friends, he said,

when that day comes, I will probably die.

could help. If.. "Nightingales

shrugging, "If he can't come, I also have experience in handling funerals"

He went to the door, and picked up his own dagger, then he turned to Roland and bowed once more,

"In that way, I have to say goodbye." And then his body gradually disappeared into the darkness,

like the fog, he did not leave the slightest trace.

What is Nightingale's ability? Roland looked pensive, there was no sound or trace of him.

He's just a natural killer. And from the first glance he got from his dagger throwing technique,

he concluded that he must have received training in it.

Was it? The Witch Cooperation Association not only gathered witches, but also developed their own power?

Or had Nightingale already mastered this skill before she entered

The Witch Cooperation Association?

Roland was unable to find any useful information from the relevant information of their organization and the memories of Roland's former, the,

but he had a premonition that he would actually meet with this organization again, as long as he remained on his path of recruiting witches.

"It's late, you should quickly go back to sleep," Roland patted the girl on the head.

It was a bit unexpected for him when

Anna shook her hand and left the room without saying a word.

When the door was closed, and the lights were turned off, he was enveloped by his shadow. He gently leaned himself against the door, and his lake-like eyes were no longer calm.

Anna raised her hand to hide her face, and whispered in a barely audible voice.

"..Stupid."
