"Please don't be impulsive, Your Highness, I don't mean to hurt you, I just came here to talk to you."
What the hell, is there anyone who wants to talk to me like this? Roland swallowed his saliva and slowly turned around. Under the threat of the dagger, he could only do as the other person said.
Under the dim candlelight, Roland saw the other person – she was sitting on the edge of his bed, her whole body buried under her robe, her head covered by a hood, so he couldn't see her real appearance. The candlelight cast her shadow on the wall behind her, taking up most of the wall.
"Who are you?"
"I don't have a name, my sisters call me 'Nightingale'," she stood up, pulled up the corner of her robe, bent her knees and half squatted, it was actually a standard noble etiquette, "First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to you, Your Highness Roland Wimbledon."
Gratitude? Roland noticed that the pattern on the other person's robe gave a unique flash under the candlelight, three parallel triangles, shaped like an eye pattern … it seemed that he had seen it somewhere before.
"The pattern on the coin … is the Holy Mountain and the Magic Eye, this is the emblem of the Witch Cooperation Association. "
Barov's words suddenly flashed in his mind, "You … are a witch!?"
"Ha ha ha," she let out a series of chuckles, "Your Highness is really knowledgeable."
Roland quietly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the other party admit his identity. It was good that he wasn't an assassin sent by the siblings. "You came to this remote town for the witches of the North Slope Mine? Although I don't know where you heard the news, it's too late to come now. If I really wanted to hang her, she would already be dead. "
"I know. And if you really did that, I wouldn't just want to talk to you … "Nightingale sat back on the bed," The Witch Cooperation Association doesn't like people interfering in secular affairs, especially things related to the royal power. But I don't like to listen to them, killing a prince for a witch may be too much, but I can still leave a deep impression on you. "
A naked threat. Roland was relieved, "She's alive and well."
"I know, and besides her there is a little girl called Nana," she said, nodding. "I came here a week ago, but I didn't see you. I've seen what you've done, and although I don't quite understand why you don't have the usual malice towards witches, but no matter what, on behalf of the Witch Cooperation Association, I thank you. "
"A week ago …" Roland wiped his forehead and said, "You saw everything I did? Could it be that this guy had been following him all this time without him noticing? "Alright, you said that you wanted to talk to me. Don't tell me you're just going to thank me?"
`Aren't you tired of standing and talking to me? 'she said, pulling down her hood. `Come over here. I don't look scary, I won't scare you, Your Highness. "
Not only was she not ugly, she could even be said to be beautiful. The moment the hood fell, Nightingale's golden curly hair flowed down like a waterfall. Under the candlelight, the golden light slowly spread out. Her nose was high, and her eyes were full of spirit. Unlike Anna and Nana's slightly childish face, her facial features revealed a mature style. Although it was impossible to look at her carefully in the dim light, the well-proportioned shadows on her face were enough to prove her beauty.
Roland slowly walked over and sat side by side on the bed. He wasn't attracted by the other person's appearance and put the danger behind him, but simply felt that the other person didn't have any malice.
"Now you can speak."
"Sure enough, you're not afraid of me," the woman's voice sounded a little happy, "You're different from all the people I've seen … They hate us because they're afraid of us. I can see the fear in their eyes, but you … "She couldn't help but reach out her hand and gently stroke Roland's cheek," Only curiosity. "
Roland awkwardly coughed twice and moved his head away. Hey, hey, don't change the atmosphere so fast, just a moment ago it was still an assassin's creed, how could it suddenly become an overbearing president?
Fortunately, the other person quickly restrained her emotions, "I came here to tell you that I want to take away Anna and Nana."
"No!" Roland was startled and directly blurted out. Then he was worried that refusing so bluntly would annoy the other person, so he had to add, "They have a good life here, no one can hurt them. Besides, where do you want to take them? There won't be a safer place than here. "
"Take them to the Witch Cooperation Association, that's where they belong," Nightingale didn't turn hostile because of the refusal, she still spoke in a calm tone, "The members of the Witch Cooperation Association are their companions, there is no discrimination, no persecution … They also don't need to disguise themselves."
"Where is the Witch Cooperation Association, you don't have a fixed foothold, do you? A month ago my guards found your camp in the Concealing Forest, their footprints showed that you were heading north … What is there in the north, only endless mountains! "
"You're right, now the Witch Cooperation Association is somewhere in the Impassable Mountain Range, it's absolutely safe for witches."
"Like a wild man spending the winter in the mountains, in the end, where is safe? Is there clean water? Is there enough food? Is there a warm shelter? And the Months of the Demons is coming, the entire Northwest will become a dangerous place, in the end what are you thinking — "At this point, Roland suddenly paused, wait a minute, what did Barov say? "Witches can only obtain true peace by going to the Holy Mountain. The purpose of the Witch Cooperation Association is to gather witches and find the Holy Mountain together. " Hell, don't tell me … "You plan to find the Holy Mountain in the Impassable Mountain Range?"
"Please forgive me, I have no comment," Nightingale smiled bitterly, but her expression clearly told Roland that he had guessed correctly.
"In that case, I will never agree," Roland flatly rejected, "In two months, the entire outside world will be the world of demonic beasts, even if we can avoid the humans in the mountains, we can't avoid the demonic beasts. How about this, we can find the Holy Mountain anytime we want, you might as well come to Border Town for the winter, and wait until the end of the winter to look for it. "
This time it was Nightingale's turn to be stunned, "The Witch Cooperation Association will come here? You … are really an interesting person, "she thought for a moment, but eventually shook her head," Your Highness, even if you are not afraid of witches, but your people are. And once we are exposed to the eyes of the public, the claws of the Church will soon come to our door. "
As long as we can smoothly survive the Months of the Demons with the help of the witches, my people will realize that they are not evil. But before Roland could open his mouth, the other side stopped him, "In addition, there is another reason why I want to take them away, Anna will soon be an adult."
"An adult?"
