Nightingale had never felt so remorseful and remorseful in her life.
She used to think that as long as she stayed by Roland's side, no one would be able to hurt him.
However, she was still standing in the bedroom of the castle in Deepvalley Town, with not even a scratch on her body, while Roland was lying on the bed, unconscious all day long.
There was no magic reaction in his body, and his internal organs were also intact. It was neither a curse like the Seed of Peaceful Rest, nor a killing ability that directly destroyed the organs. Even the knowledgeable Agatha could not see the type of this ability and the way to break it.
All kinds of conventional awakening methods had been used, but still to no avail. Roland did not respond to external stimuli. If it were not for his breathing and heartbeat, he would probably be no different from death.
Now she finally understood Agatha's warning -
In the face of a witch's ability, there was no absolute protection.
Unfortunately, this realization came a little too late.
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. Lightning opened the door and shouted, "The pure witch has woken up!"
The witches in the room suddenly became excited.
"Don't worry, it's meaningless to rush over to inquire," Vendy said, "and we still don't know her ability. For safety's sake, it's better for Miss Agatha and Nightingale to inquire about the situation first."
As a senior who was deeply trusted by her sisters, her calm tone made everyone calm down a little.
Nightingale took a deep breath and nodded to Vendy, "Leave it to me."
During several years of life on the run, she knew that negative emotions were not good for changing the situation, especially at this critical moment. She must not escape her responsibility because of a big mistake.
She must bring His Majesty back.
"Let's go," Agatha sighed.
When leaving the room, Nightingale could not help but look back, only to see Anna sitting motionlessly at the head of the bed. Her eyes were still staring at Roland, as if nothing else could attract her attention.
The feeling of guilt became stronger.
…
A servant's room on the first floor of the castle had been transformed into a special prison cell. Dozens of God's Stones of Retaliation were embedded in the back of its four walls, forming layers of black holes that were stacked on top of each other, forming an isolation cage. Only by standing in the middle of the room could he activate the magic.
Nightingale naturally knew who they were going to interrogate.
After the battle, the soldiers of the First Army found three Pure Witches who were still alive in a square pit in Trench 3. One was exhausted, one was unconscious, and the only conscious one was shivering. Roland learned from her that there were a total of five pure witches hiding underground, namely Zero, Isabella, Blackveil, Maggie, and Vanilla — and the last one was herself.
According to Vanilla, she and Maggie were only responsible for confirming His Majesty's location and transporting the other three people into the battlefield. They did not know much about other matters. As for Zero, Isabella, and the Black Veil Saint, they were Pure Witches who were directly under the management of the Pope and had the same status as the Archbishop. Their abilities were also a secret of the Holy See and few people knew the details. Now that the Black Veil Saint was dead and Zero had disappeared, the only breakthrough was Isabella.
After examination, the reason for Isabella's coma was found to be the loss of consciousness caused by the exhaustion of magic power. As long as she waited for a day or two, she would naturally recover. In addition, they also found a broken strange Sigil in her hand. However, because the Magic Stone was completely destroyed, Agatha could not identify what kind of Sigil it was.
As a result, they did not expect that Isabella would sleep for five days. During this period, Nightingale was so anxious that she wanted to forcefully wake Isabella up with a dagger. If it were not for Vendy's dissuasion, she would probably have done so.
"Did you find out that she woke up?" Agatha asked Lightning.
The little girl shook her head. "She woke up by herself. When it was Ashes's turn to check, she sat at the head of the bed and told us that such a prison was meaningless to her. "
Nightingale's face darkened. "Is she provoking us?"
"We'll know when we ask later," Agatha said calmly.
After passing through the layers of guards of the First Army, the two walked into a narrow room. There were no windows in the room, and a pine resin torch hung high above their heads emitted a dim yellow light. Aside from a vertical wooden bed and a short table, there was nothing else in the room.
The Pure Witch sat motionlessly at the head of the bed. Her curly hair hanging over her shoulders was reflected in the light of the fire, and she was still wearing the priest's robe stained with blood. The dust on her face had solidified into yellow spots.
"It seems that Zero has completely failed." Before Nightingale could open her mouth to ask, the Pure Witch took the initiative to break the silence. "She has never been able to become God's favorite …"
"God's favorite?" Nightingale sneered.
"Don't worry, I'll tell you everything I know." Isabella sighed softly as if she did not hear the sarcasm in her words. "Then … I'll be at your disposal."
The Pure Witch's attitude startled Nightingale, because she could tell that the Pure Witch's words were sincere.
But it was too late for her to admit defeat. "Didn't you previously claim that this cage can't hold you? Now you've decided to accept your fate? "
"My ability is to eliminate the effect of God's Stone of Retaliation. As long as there's space, no matter how many God's Stones there are, it doesn't matter," Isabella said slowly. "But other than that, I can neither penetrate walls nor burrow into the ground, so you don't need to prepare such a special room for me."
"Your ability can affect God's Stones?" Agatha asked in surprise.
"They look like bottomless black holes, but yes …" Isabella said frankly, "I can eliminate them."
"You mean that the God's Stone worn by His Majesty became ineffective because of you?" Nightingale clenched her hands into fists.
"I had no other choice at that time. Zero has been blinded by God. She firmly believes that only one of us can receive God's smile."
Agatha pressed her hand calmly. "Is it Zero who made His Majesty fall into a coma? What's her ability? "
"Fall into a coma?" Isabella frowned slightly. "The outcome of the Soul Battlefield should be decided in an instant. If Roland didn't turn into Zero on the spot, it means that Zero's devouring failed. Is it because he can't bear such a huge amount of memory that he can't wake up? "
Nightingale and Agatha looked at each other. "The Soul Battlefield?"
