The so-called "magic potion" did not require pills to take effect. She had never told the nobles that her magic power could be attached to anything. Although it was easy to control the amount of magic power she consumed by taking small pills, the nobles had neglected this important point.
In that private banquet, Thylane had used her magic power on all the food and drinks. Only on such an absurd occasion would the nobles lower their guard against her.
It turned out that when the pleasure accumulated to a high level, it could be as deadly as pain. When the participants realized that the pleasure was too intense, it was already too late. They clutched their chests and fell to the ground, twitching. Even those who did not eat much felt weak in the limbs and looked dazed as if they were enjoying the ultimate pleasure in the world.
The female slaves in the room were so scared that they immediately fled. The guards had no time to stop them. Thylane and Momo took advantage of the chaos and ran out of the manor.
After that, they had to hide from place to place.
When they heard that Graycastle was being relocated, they decided to go to the Sedimentation Bay to try their luck.
"I see …" Vendy took them into her arms. "You must have suffered a lot along the way, right? I promise that it won't happen again. "
"Don't you … dislike us?" Thylane bit her lip.
"Why should I dislike us? Because of your terrible experiences? "Vendy asked softly." If that's the case, I was almost treated like this by the church. There's no reason to blame the victim instead of the perpetrator. "
"But our ability … will only bring misfortune to people." Thylane clenched her fists.
"That's not up to you."
"But once you experience that kind of pleasure, you'll never forget it. You'll become more and more demanding. In the end, you'll only pursue pleasure and nothing else … If you stay here, I'm afraid …"
"You're afraid that His Majesty can't control himself, or that you're a potential demon?" Vendy comforted her. "Don't worry. Our Majesty … How should I put it? Although he doesn't look like a king, he's definitely an unusually good person."
Thylane was stunned. "An unusually … good person?" It was the first time that she had heard the royal family use this term.
"It means that you can never guess his thoughts, and you can't use convention to judge his actions. Therefore, any prior worries and fears are meaningless. Trust is the most important thing. " Vendy's voice suddenly became unusually soft, "The sisters of the Witch Cooperation Association were also rescued in this way."
After a moment of silence, she looked at Momo. "By the way, you mentioned 'your' abilities. Could it be that Momo also —"
This time, the two of them hesitated for a long time. In the end, Momo took the initiative to speak. "My former master didn't want me to use my ability anymore, so he dug out my eyes after I awakened."
Vendy had already noticed this abnormality. On Momo's face, there was a dirty rag covering half of her forehead. She thought it was to cover a burn or a tattoo, but it turned out to be more serious than that.
After saying that, the man slowly took off the rag on his head, revealing the empty eye sockets below.
"But they didn't know that this could only make me lose half of my vision. Only the God's Locket of Retribution can block it."
Vendy could not help but sigh. A witch who could completely combine magic power with her body was called an Extraordinary. Apparently, Momo's situation had nothing to do with being an Extraordinary. It was very likely that her ability happened to work on her "vision", which caused her eyes to suffer an unexpected disaster.
"Those nobles didn't take Momo's ability seriously at first. Later, something happened, and then Master attacked her," Thylane said in a low voice. "They called Momo the Child of Hell and used all kinds of punishments on her. She almost died."
Vendy stroked Momo's scarred eye sockets lovingly. "What did you see? Can you tell me?"
Momo lowered her head and said, "… A number."
"What?"
"A countdown number, indicating the deadline."
Vendy finally realized what Momo meant. She could not help but gasp.
"Is Thylane referring to —" Thylane thought to herself.
Momo nodded and said, "It came true. A noble who only had one life left died the following year. "
Wendy could not help but fall silent.
She finally understood why those nobles had done this to Momo. It was hard for anyone to accept the deadline, especially when there were only a few years left. Even she did not want to get an answer from this ability.
"But … is it really possible?" Vendy asked after thinking for a moment. "After all, accidents can happen at any time."
Thylane and Thylane were stunned.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
"No …" Thylane quickly waved her hand. "I just think … you're different from the others. I didn't expect you to ask about the details of the ability first."
"Oh? What did you expect me to do? "
Thylane replied in embarrassment. "Push Momo away, ask her whether she used her ability or not, and then drive us out of the castle as far as possible."
Vendy could not help laughing. "Abilities aren't good or bad. The key lies in the person who uses them. Besides, the more you know about them, the easier it will be for you to use them in the future. "
"Do you think … my ability will be useful?" Momo asked incredulously.
"I'm not sure. But His Majesty once told me that every witch's ability has its uses. Just because it doesn't work now doesn't mean it won't work in the future."
Thylane stood in a daze for a long while before she slowly replied, "This ability can't predict accidents. I've seen some animals being slaughtered with the numbers above their heads for several years. But … "
"But what?" Vendy asked.
"Some of the numbers have different colors … I don't know what they mean, but I have a feeling that they're different."
"If you're willing to join the Witch Union, you'll know the reason soon. After all, every new member has to learn how to control their ability and test all aspects of it. Only when you have a deep understanding of your ability can you advance to the next level. "
"Advance?" Thylane asked in confusion.
"You'll find out in the future. Awakening magic power is just the beginning. There's still a lot to learn." Vendy spread out her hands. "Have you made up your mind?"
Thylane and Momo looked at each other.
"If you can accept this …"
"We're willing to join the Witch Union."
