When the illusion disappeared, the hall fell into a strange silence.
After a long time, Scroll heaved a sigh of relief and said, "No wonder your second sister was so frightened that she fell to the ground. Such a scene is indeed a little … terrifying."
"The ability to produce group illusions is quite rare, but it's not impossible..." Agatha said slowly. "When I was in the Union, I knew at least two people who had similar abilities, and one of them was a Senior Witch in Starfall City."
"How many times can you use this ability every day?" Vendy asked. "Can you control the specific time when the illusion appears?" According to His Royal Highness' habit, the next step should be to test all aspects of the ability to understand its characteristics, consumption, and use.
"Probably... two or three times," Summer replied in a low voice. "What's the time period? Do you mean how long ago you can see? " Seeing the former nod, she scratched her head in embarrassment. "I haven't tried it either, but the further I go, the harder it gets …"
Vendy couldn't help but laugh. "That's not strenuous. You're consuming the magic power in your body."
"Mana?"
"You should be able to feel it, it's like water flowing in your body, or like a swirling fog. Every time you use your ability, you need to use it," Scroll explained, "There are many other characteristics of magic power, we will slowly teach you later."
"Mm." Summer nodded slightly.
Then Vendy asked her to use all her strength to cast another illusion. This time, the result showed that it was about a day and a half ago. She could see that the hall was already lit up and the sisters of the Witch Union were sitting at the long table enjoying their dinner. After that, Summer's magic power was completely exhausted. The girl lowered her arms, panting, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Vendy recorded the results of the two tests in her notebook. As for the purpose … she couldn't think of it at the moment. After all, the illusion could only show what had happened in the past, and it couldn't predict the future. Perhaps she could only wait for His Highness Roland to come back before she could make a judgment. Thinking of this, she could not help but feel a little depressed. His Royal Highness had once revealed to her that he intended to turn the Witch Union into a self-operating organization, with her as the leader. But she wasn't as knowledgeable and experienced as His Highness, so she couldn't consider the application of her sisters' abilities as thoroughly as he could.
Calming herself down, Vendy was about to say a few words of encouragement when Scroll gestured at her.
As they walked to the side, she asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"Are you going to tell Summer that it's okay to stay here if she doesn't want to go home?" Scroll frowned. "Have you forgotten the examination before joining the Witch Union?"
Vendy, of course, knew that foreign witches had to answer ten general questions about their identity and origins under Nightingale's lie detection ability before they could be regarded as one of the same kind. "But it's unlikely that Summer is a fake... Her ID card was made by Soroya, and her origins are all right. What's more, she has just awakened and is still a non-combat witch. Even the Church can't predict this kind of situation. "
"Magic power isn't the only thing that can hurt people. A dagger or a bag of poison can have the same effect, or even better."
"No, how could she —"
"But you can't deny this possibility," Scroll interrupted. "City hall is responsible for the check-in, so they won't check every family member. At this time, the sudden awakening became the best opportunity to sneak into the castle..." She paused. "Of course, I know that such a possibility is very small, but don't forget that we can't afford to lose His Highness Roland. Besides, Her Highness Tilly is also living in the Witch Building. If anything happens to her, I'm afraid that the sisters of Sleeping Island will completely break off their relationship with Border Town, and everything His Highness has done will go down the drain. We can't afford such a price."
"..." Vendy fell silent. She knew that Scroll's worry was not unreasonable, and it was not aimed at Summer personally, but she still found it hard to accept. Summer was the first witch to awaken in Border Town after Roland became the Lord, but she was regarded as a potential enemy. This contrast was really uncomfortable. After a long time, she said, "I know. I'll send her back."
"I'll accompany you to send her off," Scroll sighed.
...
After leaving the castle, the girl suddenly became much more lively. She began to take Vendy's hand and ask more about witches and the Lord.
"What's wrong?" Vendy asked casually after satisfying her curiosity. "You seem to be very happy that you don't have to live in the castle."
"Uh..." Summer choked and then lowered her head in embarrassment. "I heard that the Lord, that is, His Highness, is a very terrible person. He tortures the women around him many times every day."
"Pfft." Vendy almost choked on her saliva. "Where did you hear that?"
"Isn't he the Fourth Prince of Graycastle? I've heard of him many times in Eagle City. There are even ballads about him. The Second Prince is insidious and despicable, the Fourth Prince is greedy and lustful, and only the Third Princess of the Port of Clearwater is a truly good king, "Summer whispered.
"I see..." Scroll said with great interest. "This is probably Garcia's way of advertising. It's quite unique."
"Isn't he... that kind of person?"
"Of, of course not," Vendy said with a flushed face. "You'll know in the future that he's the most trustworthy Lord for witches!"
After arriving at the residential area where Summer's family lived, the three of them walked up to a two-story building and knocked on the door of her house.
It was Summer's mother who opened the door.
"Mom, I'm back," Summer shouted happily.
"Why are you..." She was startled and looked at the two people behind her daughter, looking a little flustered. "Did she do something wrong? Don't you want her anymore? "
"His Highness hasn't come back yet, so..."
"She can live in the castle and wait for His Highness to come back," the woman said eagerly. "Summer is very obedient. Although she's a little slow, she's willing to do anything."
"Madam, the Witch Union isn't what you think it is..." Vendy felt a burst of anger in her heart. Before she could finish her sentence, Scroll stopped her.
The latter took out a Golden Dragon from her waist pocket and waved it in front of Summer's face. "Your daughter is indeed a daughter. When His Highness comes back, you can sign a contract with her. This is the payment for the first month. Keep it well. "
"Yes, yes." The woman's attention immediately shifted to the golden coin. "Thank you, Your Excellency!"
"Remember, you're now taking care of her on behalf of His Highness. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Your Excellency. I'll take good care of Summer."
...
After leaving the residential area, Vendy could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. "Why did you give the payment to that kind of person? Even if you give it to her in advance, it's what she deserves. "
"Can Summer keep that Golden Dragon?" Scroll's answer startled Vendy. "If she can't keep it, it'll fall into the hands of her family sooner or later. If she can keep it, it'll be even worse. I'm afraid those people will completely regard her as an outsider. On the contrary, if she directly gives it to her mother, not only will Summer not feel burdened, they may even treat her better. There's still a long way to go. If this Golden Dragon can be exchanged for a more comfortable living environment, it might be a good deal. "
"..." She thought for a moment and then said, "You're right. I was too naive."
The successive setbacks made Vendy very depressed. She thought with some sadness that maybe she was not the right person to lead the Witch Union.
