"To welcome our new members, cheers!"
In the evening, a long table was set up in the open space in front of the Witch Building, and a lively welcome party was held. Vendy and Scroll took the lead and raised their glasses to the two witches.
"Cheers!" the other witches said in unison.
Thylane and Momo held their glasses and did not know what to do.
Thylane did not expect that after she had agreed to join the Witch Union, Vendy would take her to a hot bath and put on a new set of clothes, including underwear and socks. Before Thylane could recover from her gratitude and guilt, she was taken to the front of the Witch Building again, but this time, the lawn had changed.
"You just have to shout" Cheers "and drink all the drink in the glass," Lorgar demonstrated. "Like me — gulp, gulp, gulp —"
"Cheers … cheers …" Thylane plucked up her courage and imitated Lily. She then closed her eyes and put the glass to her mouth.
"Tat, tat, tat —"
The crowd burst into whistles and applause.
"Lorgar is trying to make people drink again," Lily said, curling her lips. "Who said you have to drink all the drink in one gulp? I think she just wants to drink."
"But that's Evelyn's strawberry liquor, right? It's as good as the Wolf Girl's. I underestimated her," Mystery Moon said in amazement. "Such a talent must join our Detective Group."
"So, in the future, your group will be filled with lazy and drunkards. It's indeed a good match for you."
"You're also in the group!" Mystery Moon raised her index finger.
"I — no! And you still owe me a ten-dollar bill! "
"Uh, forget it. We can start over."
"Go away!"
"Burp —" Thylane gulped down the whole glass of liquor and felt her vision blurring. She had been forced to drink all kinds of liquor before, but none of them was as hot as this one. The liquor did not taste bitter when it entered her throat. Instead, it tasted rich and mellow. It was not until it entered her stomach that she realized it was much richer than ale.
However, the biggest difference was not the wine, but her mood at the moment.
Seeing the Wolf Girl pouring another glass of wine and the witches' enthusiastic smiles, for the first time, Thylane felt that drinking was not so painful after all. It made him want to empathize with everyone, and it also loosened the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.
At this moment, a tall woman walked up to her with a wine glass in her hand.
"Welcome to Neverwinter. My name is Annie. Just like you, I come from the Kingdom of Wolfheart. Even my experience in finding the Bloodfang Association is similar to yours."
Thylane was stunned. "Did the Bloodfang Association …"
"That's right, but I escaped halfway. In addition, there are many witches who escaped from the Kingdom of Wolfheart to Graycastle, such as this one... "A seemingly bashful witch was pulled out from behind Roland." Iffy, she used to be a member of the Bloodfang Association. But she didn't know that Heidi Morgan sold witches. Fortunately, it's all over now. "
It took Thylane a long time to get a general understanding of the establishment of the Bloodfang Association. It turned out that she and Momo were not the only ones who were forced to live in Graycastle because of Heidi Morgan's selfish desires. This nightmarish organization had also vanished into thin air two years ago.
Hearing this, Thylane could not help but feel relieved.
On their way to escape, they had dreamed of being caught by the Bloodfang Association and sent back to the nobles. Now that they knew the organization no longer existed, it was like a heavy knot in their hearts had been untied.
"I'm sorry." Iffy lowered her head. "If I could have stopped Heidi, none of this would have happened..."
"It's not your fault." Momo shook her head. "And... even if you could have stopped her, you couldn't have stopped the nobles."
"It's true. It doesn't matter whether the leader is a witch or not. Without Heidi, someone else would have come to make a new deal with them." Thylane was well aware of those people's desires. Once they had tasted the sweetness, they would not give up easily.
"See, I told you they wouldn't blame you," Annie said with a smile. "Now that you're in Neverwinter, you can come to us if you have any difficulties in the future. Even a silly girl like Iffy can live here. I'm sure you'll have no problem. "
"Cheers," Annie said and raised her glass.
"Cheers," Thylane said more fluently this time.
"It's my turn again!" Lorgar shouted with a blush.
"Me too!" Lightning joined in. "I'm an adult now. I can drink!"
"Coo, coo, coo!"
"You can't. Pigeons can't drink."
"Coo?!"
"Hey, don't just drink. Eat something."
"Nana, you're not an adult yet. Don't play with them!"
The atmosphere on the lawn became more and more lively.
"It's been a long time since we had new members. Now that we have two new members, everyone seems very happy," Scroll, who was sitting beside the long table, said with a sigh.
"It's the right thing to do to show them around the Witch Building first. I'm beginning to understand His Majesty's tricks." Vendy smiled. "Even if they get in touch with the Sleeping Spell first, I'm confident that I can win them over. According to His Majesty, this is called sugar-coating... something. "
"You're getting better and better," Scroll joked. "You thought you weren't capable enough at first, but now you're planning to make Princess Tilly his girlfriend."
"I'm just making an analogy. You've been learning everything since you were in the Witch Cooperation Association." Vendy poured Scroll a glass of Chaos Drink. "But I can't get tired of watching such a lively scene."
"It's a pity that we can only watch from the sidelines." Scroll shrugged.
"What's wrong with that? If possible, I'd like to stay by their side and watch," Vendy said softly.
Scroll did not respond. The two of them fell silent. They watched the lively crowd from afar while enjoying the delicious food at the banquet. For them, this was not silence, but a kind of tacit understanding formed after a long time together.
Until a familiar voice interrupted, "After the banquet, His Majesty wants to see the witch named Momo."
Nightingale's figure gradually emerged from the Mist.
Vendy quickly realized what Roland was thinking. Her relaxed expression slightly froze. "This..."
"Take her there," Scroll said. "From the moment you told him your ability, this was bound to happen. After all, His Majesty is more curious than anyone else. "
Vendy was silent for a moment. "I see."
"If you don't want to know the answer, you can leave first. I think His Majesty will understand." Scroll paused. "But no matter what the answer is, we'll do the same, won't we?"
