The New Civilization of Witches

Chapter 64: Curiosity

Three days later, in the garden behind the castle.

“Sister Anna...” Nana pulled Anna's dress and called her name to attract her attention.

"Yes?" The last one turned around and asked.

"What do you think of Sister Nightingale .. don't you think she behaved a little strangely?"

“Anything?” Anna's confused,

"You mean how he's been dressing himself lately?"

Nightingale stood by Roland's side, like a few times before, but this time she wasn't wearing her usual dress with a strange pattern.

Instead, he was now dressed like Anna and wearing the strange clothes that His Majesty had created.

Although Anna did not want to admit it, the new outfit accentuated the tall figure of Nightingale–'s beautiful legs, which were,

a slender waist, as well as the clearest long curly hair. Together with his cape and pointy hat, anyone would let their gaze explore his entire body.

"I'm not talking about her clothes."

Nana muttered,

“Didn't you think his tone when talking to His Majesty and his eye expression when he looked at him became different from before?”

"Are they?"

“…”

Nana didn't know what to say, but then she gave up,

“Well, sister Anna, later when it is too late, do not come to me and say that I did not warn you.”

Unable to make her head or tail, Anna shook her head and ignored Nana, focusing on the bodies of the two new witches instead.

The first one he saw was named Lightning. The size was generally the same as Nana, but she was wearing very unusual clothes.

When Anna counted roughly, she discovered that Lightning had at least twelve pockets in the fabric-like part of her coat.

As for the other witches Wendy, she was not wearing the same body-covering clothes that Nightingale had worn before, she was not wearing,

but on her ordinary and casual female clothes, she had the exact same pattern as the one Nightingale had printed before. However, she had something that did not match Anna.

The other chest .. is too big.

“Because you two have agreed to sign the contract, now we can start with your training for the first time.”

Roland finally felt at ease and began training his two new witches, issuing instructions.

"Lightning, you go first."

"Yes!" Lightning was so happy to start first that she raised her hand into the air as she stepped out of the warehouse.

Right now, only a few snowflakes were floating in the air and no wind was blowing, so the little girl gently floated in the air and waited for Roland's next order.

"Show me your fastest speed!" Roland looked up and shouted at her.

"Alright, look at me." he gave his thumbs up, went to the starting position, and then quickly flew around the castle.

Roland visually calculated his flying speed and came to the result that his flying speed should be between 60 and 80 kilometers per hour.

These numbers are based on his own experience driving back in his old world.

For one flight, this speed could not be calculated that fast, as it was similar to an ordinary pigeon.

However, Roland had heard that he could bring Nightingale and Wendy along during their journey back to Border Town.

The performance was much more impressive compared to his speed. What does it mean if he can lift more than 100 kilograms?

In Roland's eyes, he could already see Lightning carrying a 100-kilogram bomb …

However, the next trial broke his wishful thinking. When it weighed over 50 kilograms, Lightning's flying height dropped sharply.

From the height of the previous hundred meters, he suddenly fell to just ten meters. While carrying a weight of nearly 100 kilograms, he could only reach a height of 2 meters.

That is, if he were to turn Lightning into an incarnate bomber, even when carrying only a few kilograms of explosives, he would enter the arc range and become an easy target to shoot down.

So Roland came up with new ideas for this young witch – whether it be as a scout or as an investigator for the right place for the bombing, she would be an excellent candidate.

Previously, Roland seemed to have hit the wall with his plan, but now he could see another glimmer of hope.

*

In the fifteen years of wandering after his departure from the monastery, he had seen many different kinds of people.

Commoners, peasants, craftsmen, soldiers and nobles, it did not matter who it was, but they would all have the same reaction.

As long as they don't know that she is a witch, they show her desire and love, but when they realize the fact that she is a witch, she is,

their desires and love will instantly turn into fear and hatred. Whenever he saw this despicable behavior, Wendy wanted to vomit.

He thought he would only pair with a witch for the rest of his life and would never be accepted by a man.

This was also the reason why he had rejected Nightingale's offer ..not because of disbelief, but because he was afraid that his heart would break once again. However, Roland Wimbledon had already changed his opinion.

He looked at them with the same expression as he saw an ordinary person – like he had seen a witch thousands of times.

When he met Roland for the first time in Nightingale's room, he thought that he was hiding his aversion towards witches very well.

He also believed that another reason he did not show any contempt was because Nightingale was standing right beside him.

However, over the next few days he discovered that his facial expression was still the same.

Could it be that the ability of the members of the Royal Family to conceal their true intentions is much better than us ordinary people?

Another change is the contract. Before, Wendy thought it was just a formality. But when he started reading it, he found it was filled with clauses.

It not only lists their responsibilities, but also states their own rights. This is really unimaginable!

It still placed witches in his army, but it did not deprive them of their freedom. Instead, it was quite generous to them.

Can this still be called a contract?

For example, Article 2.

1 (It's the first time Wendy has seen such a structure), the witch could have paid her leave, which means that she would still earn money even on the days she doesn't work.

Next, the magician must complete an experimental project according to the employer's orders, but when part of the project is too difficult to complete, the,

it is impossible to be punctual, cause discomfort, or cause a witch to feel that it is too dangerous, a witch could request a change or reject a trial project.

Then, the next clause says that the employer must provide and guarantee the safety of the witch.

The employer is responsible for the witch's accommodation, food, and salary. When one part of the condition is not met, the witch is allowed to suspend the contract unilaterally.

Wendy thinks these articles are a little convoluted, but they reveal their meaning very clearly.

After signing the contract, the witch would not turn into the Prince's property. Of course, he had to make his request, though,

but he also has the same rights and can always say no. Due to a contract like this, he finally felt the other party's sincerity –

if it was just for appearances, there was no need to write such a detailed list of agreements.

Coming to this conclusion, Wendy could not help but look at Nightingale.

Wendy was very clear about everything Nightingale had to go through, and she also knew how deep the other's disdain for nobles was.

But now, when Nightingale spoke to Roland, her tone and demeanor showed so many different kinds of emotions –

I'm afraid even he's not aware of this change. Two months ago, he left the Witch Cooperation Association camp for Border Town.

In just two short months, Nightingale had already begun to fully trust this man.

He would rather sever all his ties with the Witch Cooperation Association than never see Border Town again.

In his heart, it was highly likely that he had already seen the place beside Roland Wimbledon more as his original home than the Witch Cooperation Association.

Very sad about what happened to Mentor Cara. She, as the founder of the Witch Cooperation Association, had forgotten how important each surviving sister was.

Wendy knew that there was no way she could come back. Since fate had brought her to this place, why did she not believe in the choice Nightingale made?

Just the same, like he always believed in the choice I made – “Wendy?”

"G ..." With this shout, Wendy was brought back from her daydream, and,

only to find out that Lightning had completed her test and now everyone was waiting for her.

Giving everyone an apologetic smile, he walked out of the warehouse. You've made a decision, so now you have to make it.

Plus, you can't lose to the younger generation, right?

But at this moment, the horn call could be heard from the west again. The voice echoed in the mountains, breaking the tranquility of the city.
