Two days later, Roland met Iffy in his office again.
Her complexion was a little better than before, and there seemed to be more complicated emotions in her eyes. She looked more lively than before, and she seemed more like a 'person'.
"Heidi Morgan wants to see you, but it's not convenient for her to come by herself, so she asked Tilly Wimbledon to take us with her." Her opening remarks after saluting surprised Roland a little. "Lady Heidi doesn't like Her Highness Tilly. She thinks that combat witches are the core of Sleeping Island, and the Bloodfang Association shouldn't be treated as an ordinary witch organization. Therefore, she hopes to open up the situation with you, and promised that she can give more than what Tilly can give. Of course... I know you don't need these things. "
"Tell me in detail about the Bloodfang Association," Roland supported his chin and said.
"Yes..."
The story lasted for an hour, and he frowned more and more. At the end of the story, he could not help but ask, "Does Tilly know about these things?"
"I don't know." Iffy shook her head. "Lady Heidi forbade us to reveal the past of the Bloodfang Association, and she rarely talked to Her Highness."
"What about the other witch organizations that joined Sleeping Island?"
"They were closer to the witches of Graycastle, especially after the establishment of Sleeping Spell. Although some combat witches secretly agreed with Lady Heidi, most of them were unwilling to confront Ashes. "
It turned out that the pressure on Tilly's shoulders was no less than his own. Roland secretly sighed in his heart. Unlike him, who was the legitimate ruler of the Western Region, the witches of Sleeping Island were more like a loose alliance organization. Although Tilly was the convener, she had no authority over the small groups that came to seek refuge. It was also because of this that one could see her outstanding ability — uniting most of the assistant witches and actively establishing connections with the secular rulers of other islands. In particular, the establishment of the "Sleeping Spell" gave her an opportunity to manage all the witches.
After all, "auxiliary witches are equally important" was not just empty talk. The Witch's Bounty Guild just happened to give those auxiliary witches with strange abilities an excellent stage to display their abilities. When they completed tasks and received a large sum of money, and the money was used to improve the quality of life on Sleeping Island, this kind of mindset would gradually form. After all, no matter how powerful a combat witch was, she did not want to live by eating salted fish all day long. When the assistant witches' status was promoted, they would naturally be more inclined towards Tilly. At that time, as the master of the guild, Tilly would undoubtedly have a greater say.
This was probably the reason why Heidi Morgan couldn't wait any longer.
In addition, the Bloodfang Association itself was also full of doubts. As the daughter of Grand Duke Morgan, how could Heidi not be able to support a group of non-combat witches? It could only be said that from the very beginning, she had never intended to take in those "useless" people. Her purpose was different from the Witch Cooperation Association, she only wanted a team that could fight for her.
Coupled with her obsession with the Kingdom of Wolfsheart, Roland became even more vigilant.
Perhaps it was necessary to write a secret letter to Tilly so that she could be careful of the Bloodfang Association.
"Didn't Heidi forbid you from revealing the inside story of the Bloodfang Association?" Roland gently knocked on the table and asked, "Are you not going to listen to her anymore?"
Iffy bit her lip and said, "I want to join the Witch Union."
The knocking suddenly stopped. Roland looked at her a few times in surprise. Although he knew that the demonstration of the force of the hot weapons would give these combat witches who were proud of their powerful abilities a serious blow, he did not expect the effect to be so... obvious.
"But you hurt Maggie." He thought for a moment and said, "I can't..."
"About this, please punish me."
Iffy unbuttoned her robe.
Almost at the same time, a pair of hands covered Roland's eyes from behind. However, Nightingale seemed to have forgotten that she was in the state of Mist, and her transparent fingers could not block him.
She opened her lapel, took off her robe, and turned her back to Roland.
Roland could not help but gasp.
Iffy's back was covered with all kinds of whip marks. The recovered wounds looked like countless earthworms crisscrossing on her back, which formed a sharp contrast with the delicate skin around it. Probably because the wounds had long healed, Nana's healing ability did not take effect on them, so they remained intact.
When Iffy talked about the harsh combat training of the Bloodfang Association, she only used one sentence to cover it up. However, now that he thought about it, Roland could vaguely smell the smell of blood contained in those words.
"Put your clothes back on," he said in a low voice.
"But Your Majesty..."
Nightingale had already shown herself. She walked forward and pulled her robe back to its original position.
"If you want to join the Witch Union, don't use the Bloodfang Association's methods." Roland suddenly felt a little depressed. "You can apply to Vendy. As for whether the others are willing to accept you, it depends on your performance." He paused. "But no matter what, Neverwinter is the home of witches. You can live here for a long time even if you don't join the Union."
Hearing the last sentence, Iffy's shoulders visibly loosened. "Thank you... for your kindness."
...
After watching Iffy leave, Roland got up and walked to the French window. He let out a long sigh.
In this way, the team to capture the demons was complete. However, he did not feel much relaxed at this moment.
"Actually, that girl is lucky enough," Nightingale walked to him and said.
"Is that really lucky?"
"Compared to her partner Annie, at least she survived. If the Bloodfang Association is really the only witch organization left in the Kingdom of Wolfheart, being caught by the church or the nobles will only lead to a more tragic end. That's why the sisters yearn for the Holy Mountain so much. "
A doubt suddenly emerged in Roland's mind. "Did Heidi Morgan really send those non-combat witches to other witch organizations? In order to avoid exposing their whereabouts, the witches usually keep in touch with each other and change their gathering places frequently. How did Heidi get all this information? After all, the stronghold was a matter of life and death. Leaders would not easily tell others about the organization's activity location unless they trusted someone very much.
And even if she knew all this, sending witches to other witch organizations would be very easy to expose. Would other witch organizations accept witches sent by her generously? "
The more Roland thought about it, the more he found it strange.
However, Nightingale had confirmed that Iffy was not lying.
So the problem was obviously with the founder of the Bloodfang Association.
In this way, Heidi's danger level had increased. Roland realized that he should tell this news to Tilly as soon as possible so that she could investigate and make early preparations.
