The New Civilization of Witches

Chapter 58: Escape

Nightingale had no idea how long it had lasted, but when she woke up, she found that her hands were tied to a pole.

The same could be said about his waist and legs, they were also tied to a pole.

He tried to free himself by thrashing, but his body was tied to a pole so strongly, that he was completely unable to move.

The next step was to try to use her magic ability, but she could not feel the familiar feeling when reaching for her power –

he seemed to have also been cut off from his magic power, so he was completely bound.

As Nightingale looked down along her body, she saw a transparent prismatic stone hanging on her neck.

"You're finally awake." Cara walked in front of him and started talking to Nightingale,

“What do you think of my petrified poison?

To be honest, I have high hopes for you, Nightingale. Unfortunately, you cannot live up to my expectations. ”

"..." - ".Nightingale did not know how to answer first, but then she took a deep breath and spoke in a reproachful tone,

"You're actually hiding the God's Retaliation Pendant. Cara, do you still know what you're doing?

” This stone was originally a shackle used by the Church to suppress witches, but now even their own mentors are using it to deal with it, just like the Church!

Although what made him even more angry was the heartless expression on the faces of those around him, there seemed to be nothing wrong with what they saw.

Damn it, Nightingale shouted in the depths of her heart, don't you think that you turned into the type of person that we witches hate the most?!

"It's just a tool, which will sometimes be used to punish naughty girls who won't listen." How to explain nonchalantly,

“And you, Nightingale, are the ones who need to be punished, or .. should I call you Veronica?

Born into a noble family, reduced to a witch, but still thinking of how to climb the social hierarchy. ”

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"You disappointed me. When Wendy saved you from the clutches of the aristocracy, I thought you would stand firmly by our side, the Witch Cooperation Association.

But, look what you are doing now, when we will soon find the Sacred Mountain, you want to stop us from reaching our destination!”

Cara shook her head and laughed out loud, but then continued,

“Trying to take us brothers with you to the Prince?

Have you been held captive for too long and now slavery has taken deep root in you, so that you can only live when you find for yourself a Master; or else ...

do you just want to sell it to the nobles, in exchange for receiving a good position for yourself!

"Everything I do is for my sister." Nightingale had to swallow her anger, after all the shouting was meaningless, so she said calmly, saying,

“I hope no one should die during their resurrection day, wishing they could live without worrying where they get their clothes and food for them.

I never intended to stop your plans, but we sisters should have the right to freely choose our own way of life.

Right now Border Town is going through a tremendous change, I even brought along a steam engine construction plan. It can operate on its own, with almost unlimited power.

With this kind of machine, the water inside the mine can be directly pumped out, so that people no longer need to do it every day.”

How to sneer once more and ask in a condescending tone, "Are you talking about this?"

He turned around and took out a scroll from the parchment pile and rolled it up, so that everyone could see it, he said,

“Although I do not understand all that is painted on this parchment, but who would believe that a bunch of dead cold iron can be put together so that it can work independently like a living thing?

Do you think we're all three-year-olds! ”

He walked to the front of the brazier and threw the scroll onto the charcoal.

"No!" Nightingale shouted in vain, only able to stare blankly while the blueprint turned to ashes within the brazier.

"My patience has run out, I will only give you one last chance."

while he was threatening Nightingale, Cara took an iron skewer from the brazier, whose tip had already turned bright red due to the heat.

“If you plead guilty in front of all your sisters of the Witch Cooperation Association, admitting that you have been bewitched by the aristocracy, I can save your life, but the whip is inevitable!

After all this will be your lesson to cooperate with the enemy.

But if you're still stubborn, I'll have to use this iron skewer to stab your heart, nail your body at the stake, so everyone can learn from your mistakes.

After waiting for a while, he said, "Don't miss my last offer of mercy, tell me now how do you decide?"

Holding the iron closer to Nightingale, so she could see better, holding it so close that she could even feel the scorching heat coming from the tip.

But she had already said goodbye to herself in the past, no longer being that shy girl.

Now that he was Nightingale, a powerful magician, even in the face of death he would not give up!

So he just closed his eyes, waiting for the arrival of his last moments. She did not know why, but the image of Roland appeared before her eyes.

"Stop!"

Shouted someone suddenly, for a moment Nightingale hesitated, but then she opened her eyes. Nightingale could see that Wendy walked out of the crowd and said to Cara,

“Mentor, look at the white cloth wrapped around your arm. We've had so many deaths, though,

do you really want to add another one? ”

“What, even you were tricked by him?

Wake, Wendy!

" What he said was all a lie! ”

"I don't know." Wendy shook her head and continued,

“I had no intention of going with him to Border Town, but I think one of the things he said was true.

We sisters should have the right to freely choose our own way of life.”

He turned around and loudly asked the crowd,

"Who among you wants to go with him?"

No one in the crowd answered him, the scene was silent.

"So there's no problem when he goes alone" Wendy said.

"He didn't hurt the Witch Cooperation Association, so I really can't see you killing him."

Nightingale had fully understood the meaning of Wendy's words. He could not help the feeling of sadness in his heart.

Even Wendy did not fully believe what she said. So because of this she was silent when she needed her help while trying to convince everyone.

But she was still a kind-hearted and considerate witch, even if she did not agree with her point of view, she would still help.

After Wendy's remark, some whispering voices could be heard from within the crowd, and then some people spoke for her.

"Yes, since he is willing to return to the secular world, just let him go."

“The church and the pain have taken so many sisters from us. Dear mentor, please think about the punishment once again.”

“Everything is silent!” How to rampage and scream, how to,

“If I let her go, what will we do when the second or third Nightingale appears?

Also if he sells our camp position to the Church, then we will have nowhere to escape!”

the voices did not subside, so he raised his arm to hit Nightingale with an iron skewer.

But Wendy was a step faster, producing a strong breeze, throwing Cara to the ground and stopping her blow attempt.

Then he tossed the coin into the air, raised and waved his hand, leading a swift airflow to wrap the coin and shoot it towards Nightingale.

When the airflow approached Nightingale, it instantly disappeared.

However the coin still maintained its speed, accurately hitting the God's Retaliation Pendant on Nightingale's neck. The transparent and prismatic stone let out a punching sound and instantly broke.

"Traitor!"

How to shout furiously while standing up from the ground, Wendy and Ann belong to the inner circle and her right hand, but now one of them has betrayed her!

Enraged he threw the flying shadow snake with its mouth open towards Wendy, biting the back of her hand fiercely.

At this time the rope fell to the ground, still maintaining its wrapping formation around the mast, only Nightingale was no longer in place, tied to the pole.

At the thought of Nightingale's ability, Cara felt cold sweat running down her back.

He instantly exerted all of his magic, creating a magic snake, sparkling with all possible color variations, which then shot out from his chest.

Commanding them to form a wall, he himself rushed back – but Nightingale was still faster than him.

Just one step ... After one step, he had already appeared behind Cara. Pushing his hand forward, the iron hammer, which was supposed to pierce through his own heart, directly pierced through Cara's body.
