The New Civilization of Witches

Chapter 79: The Answer

The blinds are closed and the fire is lit in the fireplace, keeping a comfortable temperature in the room. There is a big difference between Anna and Nana's adult days, this time Nana wakes up.

To make sure that he would not be too afraid of the pain that was to come,

they played some simple games to distract him, and to keep him from falling asleep all night.

Even Roland did some magic coin tricks, mesmerizing the viewing audience. Especially Nana, who was all the time staring with big eyes into Roland's hands.

If it was an ordinary time, he would definitely shout that Roland should teach him.

The magic tricks of this age are still far from the spotlight, for now more of a small spectacle, like a snake dancing to the sound of a flute,

flames were gushing out, crushing the stone slabs on the chest and the like.

Compared to the later generations of skilled diversions and nimble fingers, everything was now only amateur level.

Eventually, Lightning begins to talk about her sailing experience, as she travels with her father between the islands and the fjord.

It tells of large whirlpools and beautiful coral reefs, and hunts sharks and deep-sea octopuses.

Although everyone knew that part of it was fictional, he still caught everyone's attention, even luring Roland with his story –

in his imagination, the yacht turns into a large armored battleship, which crosses the ocean and discovers the New World.

In fact, there was a passage in the timeline of the history of this world that he did not understand. The last written record of the past is no older than four hundred and fifty years.

Even the former Prince's education inside the palace did not mention the reason. But it could also be, that the former Prince did not pay attention during the lecture, Roland thought.

Inside the library of Border Town, there was nothing to be found, so the only possibility was to win the war against Longsong Stronghold

search and ask for more information there. When Lightning finally finishes her story about her adventure,

Roland could no longer resist yawning, but when he saw Nightingale, the latter simply shook her head, indicating that there had not been any magical change until now.

Not having an accurate timer device is very troublesome, how to determine the time we still have to wait?

Roland thought in frustration and poured himself a cup of warm water then sat down afterwards to wait.

But gradually, everyone felt that something was wrong, it was too long – Nana repeatedly yawned, seemingly only barely able to stay awake.

Even Nightingale became anxious, so she touched the little girl's forehead, while also staring closely at the magic power within Nana's body, looking for any changes.

When Roland wanted to take a sip of water, he found that the water was already empty.

So on his way to the kettle in the fireplace, he could not help but look through the curtains as he passed through the window, only to discover, that the snow was still falling.

But when he opened the thick curtain slightly, a touch of light fell into the room. He was surprised to find, that the dark sky had obtained a milky white glimmer.

"Everyone look!" Roland shouted and opened the entire curtain.

Worrying about everyone with his shout, they all rushed to the window to see what was happening.

When they found a dim light in the sky, they realized that a new day had arrived without them noticing.

So with this, other than Anna, Nana also passed by Demon's Bite painlessly.

When Roland then returned to his room, he discovered that there were already two people waiting for him.

Nightingale and Wendy. Inside their faces, he could not find any drowsiness, there was only joy.

"Can you be sure that Nana's 'date' is today – wasn't it, last night?"

ask Roland immediately.

"Yes, but at that moment the change in him was just very subtle, I would never have thought that it was a critical moment of bite,"

nightingale replied with certainty,

"Your Majesty, your assumption is correct! As long as we witches continue to release our magic, it will continue to increase, and the suffering of our bodies will decrease.

If we can maintain a certain amount of training every day, all magicians will have a great chance of survival in their adult days! ”

“In the entire Kingdom of Graycastle, only in your territory can we witches demonstrate our abilities, in a sense, Border Town is our Holy Mountain,”

continued Wendy, “I want to beg you to make sure that as many witches as possible know about it.

this news, that our sister may soon arrive at this sanctuary. I think every one of them will be willing to help you. “

“Since the beginning, it was my intention,” Roland nodded.

“At the end of the Demon Moon, normal people and witches will also gain a certain level of understanding with each other and have come into contact.

At that time, I will arrange for people to spread the message – but, just as a rumor.

after a little pause he continued,

“this will only be possible if the Church is eradicated. , or I get the throne.”

“So it seems like my best option is to help you ascend the throne,” said Wendy and then without hesitation she knelt down, taking an oath of allegiance.

Roland could clearly see, that his movements were unskillful, it seemed like it was only sudden.

But he did not care about these details, he treated her exactly like Nightingale when she received her oath of loyalty.

After he finished his plea, Wendy turned towards Nightingale and asked, Wendy,

"How do I look?"

The latter curled his lips and said,

"Almost didn't pass." Roland helplessly shook his head,

"So you two have to go to bed early, all night you can't close your eyes."

"Your Majesty, I have a request," interrupted him, Wendy, who had just risen from the ground now she was kneeling once more.

"Speak freely," Roland threw away his smile and spoke seriously to her.

Other actions have made it clear that he has important issues to discuss.

Unexpected Wendy told him,

"I want, once again, to return to the Witch Cooperation Association camp."

“Wendy!” nightingale shouted and looked at him with big eyes, but she could see that inside the latter's eyes how steady and steadfast he was.

“I don't know if they can find the Holy Mountain or not, maybe they, or maybe not.

I hope you allow me to go to the Unpassable Mountains after the Demon Moon is over.

If Cara could not find the Sacred Mountain, they might have returned to the camp within the mountains.”

"It's going to be very dangerous" Roland

frowning, frowning,

"Your leader attacked you despite your old friendship."

“If he really wanted to kill me, I would have been dead,” Wendy said.

“He has called his magic snake 'Pain' instead of 'Death'.

“I don't know how many will be back with me, or even if only one will be back with me, he said,

but at least I can convey this important message to my sister.

As long as they release their magic every day, they do not need to suffer from terrible pain.”

Speaking up until this moment, his voice had become extremely soft,

"Your Majesty, as long as you continue to treat us witches with so much kindness, my life will be yours, so naturally I will not throw it away.

I will protect myself. Please allow me this request. ”

Roland was speechless and thought, when thinking about safety, I should refuse his request.

But there is also a different meaning of this request – if I give him the opportunity to save more witches, he will gladly follow my orders and take any risks.

But if I refuse him, he may still be willing to follow orders, but I may lose the possibility of getting more witches, and he will forever carry the scars on his heart.

“I will allow it,” Roland finally nodded,

“but you still have to wait for two months until the end of the Demon Moon. Nor will you travel alone, Lightning will accompany you.

I'll also give you firearms for self-protection, too ... The Stone of God's Retaliation.

Lightning can give you remote support, and when you wear the God's Stone of Retaliation during your encounter with Cara, she or any other ability will not be able to hurt you.”

"Your Majesty, please let me go with him!" Nightingale pleaded.

“No, Veronica. Your Majesty's safety is far more important than mine, he is the hope of all of us witches,"

Wendy disagreed as she shook her head and laughed,

"So she's fine."
