"Damn it, these witches are starting to lose their minds." Heidi thought angrily. When they were still on Archduke Island, they would not have bothered to ask why. As long as one was an enemy of the Bloodfang Association, he or she would die.
The environment could affect a person the most. Ferocious and cunning Rock Wolves were born in the mountains and cliffs, while stupid and incompetent dogs were bred in the kennels. The assistant witches brought a large amount of Golden Dragon and resources to the island through the Sleeping Spell, which gradually turned the island into a safe playground. Even the combat witches began to believe Tilly's lies. Heidi obviously did not have much time left.
"You can control the time when the seed will take effect, right?"
"Yes."
"Good. Don't let it take effect immediately after planting it. Wait until Annie is transported to the Charming Beauty, then quietly send her on her way." Heidi nodded and said, "Now, let's go visit this former traitor."
If Annie died of cold plague on the ship, the crew would definitely throw her body into the sea to avoid infection. In this way, no one could find out the truth.
"Do it in the daytime?" Nightfall asked in surprise.
"It will only be more suspicious at night, and Camilla may not let me go to the palace." Heidi glanced at her. "Sha Ji happened to hear that a witch from the Kingdom of Wolfheart is in a coma. As the representative of the Kingdom of Wolfheart, isn't it normal for the Bloodfang Association to visit her?"
"You're right, Madam." Skyflare pulled up the hood behind her robe. "Even if we don't go, once something happens to her, Tilly and Camilla will still suspect us."
Heidi put on a raincoat and opened the door. The strong wind and rainwater immediately rushed into the room. She waved to the two behind her and walked into the rainstorm.
She had made up her mind.
...
When the three of them walked into the palace yard, Camilla Dary, who was on duty, immediately appeared at the door. "You're..."
"I heard from Sha Ji that a new witch from the Kingdom of Wolfheart came to the island." Heidi Morgan shrugged. "It's said that she's in a bad condition. We're here to see her."
"Annie has fallen asleep under Della's comfort. I think it's better for you not to disturb her."
"I just want to have a look because the name sounds so familiar. Maybe she has been to the Bloodfang Association but was separated from us when we escaped from Archduke Island."
"This …" Camilla hesitated. "Alright, please come in."
Heidi's patience had been exhausted by the short conversation. How could an ordinary witch treat this place as her own territory? Was she the Chief Butler of Sleeping Island? She sneered inwardly. It was just a dog under Tilly. If it wasn't for the last sentence, "Please come in," she planned to make the other party suffer a little.
Since most residences on Sleeping Island rose from the ground by relying on lotuses, there were few buildings with more than one floor. Tilly's palace was no exception.
Through the long corridor to the side room, Camilla turned sideways and said, "She's in there."
"Mm." Heidi walked into the house eagerly, then nodded at Skyflare.
The latter carefully looked at the woman on the bed who had her eyes tightly shut and nodded in a barely noticeable manner.
"Who sent her here?" Heidi walked up to Camilla and asked in a low voice. It seemed that she was concerned about Camilla, but in fact, she just wanted to block the Chief Butler's sight. As long as Nightfall was given enough time, she could implant the Seed of Peaceful Rest into Annie's body.
Camilla did not answer, but showed a strange expression.
"Why did you kill her?"
Heidi could not help but be startled. Before she could react, Nightfall behind her screamed, "This witch is fake!"
She turned her head abruptly, only to see that the person on the bed had disappeared, leaving only a small, pitch-black ball formed by magic floating in the air.
"The Seed of Peaceful Rest... How could you do it?" Camilla shook her head and said, "I thought you were just speaking up for the combat witches. I didn't expect you to be a cruel murderer!"
"Shut up!" Heidi could no longer hold back her anger. She threw her deadly magic power at Nightfall, but the moment she was hit, her figure disappeared into a cloud of white mist.
Heidi finally understood everything.
"Shadow!" She gnashed her teeth and said, "Get out here!"
Hurried footsteps were heard in the corridor. Apparently, the witch hiding in the dark was trying to escape.
"Skyflare, catch her!"
"Yes." The latter rushed out of the side room, sucked in a deep breath, and breathed out raging flames. The scorching flames seemed to have a mind of their own. They crawled along the walls and chased after the fleeing person. Along the way, they burned the door frames and windows black.
"Ah!" A scream came from afar.
"Madam, we have to get out of here as soon as possible!" Nightfall said anxiously, "They lied to you. This is a trap!"
"Leave through the window." Although Heidi had vented her hatred by hearing Shadow's cry, she also knew that they should not stay here for long. However, she did not understand how Tilly knew about the Bloodfang Association's affairs several years ago.
The three of them suddenly stopped when they got out of the palace.
In the heavy rain, a black-haired woman appeared in the garden. Her eyes were like golden stars, which could be seen clearly in the rain. She was not carrying any weapons, but just standing there made them feel great pressure.
It was the Extraordinary witch, Ashes.
She usually stayed with Tilly Wimbledon.
Heidi turned her head and saw two other familiar figures at the gate of the palace.
Andrea and the Shadow. Especially Nightfall, who was making faces at them as if nothing had happened. Apparently, the scream just now was also fake.
If both of them were here, it could only mean that Tilly had not left Sleeping Island at all.
Heidi's heart completely sank.
"You don't have to explain anything. If you surrender now, I won't kill you," Ashes said word by word.
No one thought she was bragging. As an Extraordinary, as long as she wore a God's Stone of Retaliation, she would be the natural enemy of all witches. If it were not for her, Heidi would not have been able to endure until today.
But … there was still a chance.
The breakthrough point was at the gate of the palace. As long as she could control the two witches, she might be able to threaten Ashes.
Without hesitation, she grabbed Nightfall and rushed to the front gate of the palace. "Skyflare, stop Ashes!"
As a combat witch, when her ability did not work, daggers and crossbows were the best weapons. Skyflare pulled out her dagger and rushed to Ashes. Nightfall also understood her intention and summoned the Seed of Symbiosis in her hand.
A threat without deterrence was useless. Heidi had decided to kill one of them and keep the other as a hostage. Her first target was naturally Shadow, who had mocked them for a long time.
Then Andrea calmly raised the long iron stick in her hand.
What was that?
Just as this thought flashed through her mind, a loud boom caused her body to become completely paralyzed.
