When No. 76 walked into the living room, the four witches were sitting around the round table and distributing the new food brought by the servants.
"Good morning," Amy greeted her first. "Come and have breakfast. This time, besides bread, there are fried eggs and milk! I haven't tasted such a sumptuous meal for a long time. "
"Well," she pretended to be happy and sat next to Amy. After losing her sense of taste, food was just to satisfy the needs of the body, and the process of eating became a complete torture. However, hundreds of years of training had allowed her to swallow these fragmentary, tasteless things without batting an eyelid. She could even praise them according to the increasingly fainter and fainter impression in her memories. "Oh … this smells really good!"
"Really?" Amy said vaguely while chewing the egg. "The last time I ate fried eggs was more than a year ago..."
"Don't show off when it's only been more than a year!" Broken Sword protested. "I haven't eaten it for almost ten years."
"Ahem..." Annie cleared her throat. "There's someone who hasn't eaten eggs since he was born."
"Who?" The three witches were stunned.
"Me." Annie pointed to herself and said, "When I was still in the village, the neighbor next door raised a flock of old hens. I always wanted to climb in and steal an egg to taste. But my father found me the first time I tried and I was almost beaten to death with a rolling pin."
"Your father is really an upright man," Hero said with admiration.
"Upright?" She shrugged. "He was just afraid that the neighbor would find out and ask him for compensation. I fed all the eggs I touched to myself and my brother. "
The living room suddenly fell into a brief silence.
"Ahem, let's eat first," Hero said with a little embarrassment.
"Pfft..." Amy was the first to laugh. "Hahaha... I see... haha..."
With the first one, the others could not help but laugh.
Even No. 76 could not help but curl up the corner of her mouth. This group of witches who had been struggling all day long had finally found a place to live. Here, she seemed to see the shadow of Taquila in its heyday.
No, it was no longer a shadow. She told herself that this place was about to become the new Holy City and witches would inevitably rise again.
Because the Chosen One had appeared!
"Hey, didn't you sleep well last night?" Amy reached out and wiped the corners of No. 76's eyes. "It's dark here."
"Ah... probably," No. 76 lowered her head and said, "I was so excited last night that I couldn't sleep."
Although she only needed two to four hours of deep sleep to recover her spirit, it did not mean that she could stay awake all day. The overuse of her soul would still manifest in her body, and for them, this was the biggest taboo. After all, a damaged or aged body could be replaced, but a damaged soul was permanent.
But how could she fall asleep! In other words, she did not want to fall into the dark sleep at all. No. 76 was afraid that everything was just a dream. When she woke up, the Chosen One would disappear without a trace.
What she needed to do now was to find out who the owner of the orange light was and contact Pasha.
However, this was not an easy task.
According to Vendy, most of the witches lived in the Witch Building in the Castle District. She was not a witch, so she could not sneak into the castle by joining the Union. She could only rely on the witches in the Kingdom of Wolfheart.
Of course, she could take the risk and sneak in alone to screen the Chosen One one by one. But the latter was definitely not a good choice. It was hard to say whether the Chosen One would listen to her, and the green-haired witch with the ability to see through things was hard enough to deal with. No. 76 believed that it was impossible for her to lead the Chosen One to escape from the maze ruins while being chased by other combat witches. Although the God's Punishment Army was the witches' natural enemy, they were not invincible.
In addition, the local lord's strength was also worth worrying about. The fact that he could defeat the Starfall City with a large number of God's Punishment Army was a deterrent in itself.
They had lost the foundation of reproduction. Even if they defeated the demons, they had to strengthen themselves with the power of mortals. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before they came into contact with the Four Kingdoms. Pasha was absolutely right about this.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Taquila should not become enemies with the Kingdom of Graycastle.
Of course, if the king wanted to persecute the Chosen One, she had no choice. She had to protect the person who could determine the fate of the Battle of Divine Will even at the cost of her life.
"Why don't you sleep for a while later?" Amy covered her mouth and smiled. "The servant said that lunch and dinner will be delivered on time. We don't have to beg for food like before."
"It's okay. Miss Nana has completely cured me." No. 76 first patted her chest to show that she was full of energy, and then showed a hesitant look. "Lady Vendy will take you to visit Neverwinter later, right? I don't want to... stay here alone. "
"Then come with us," Amy answered at once.
"But..."
"There's nothing to worry about. We'll just walk around the street. With one more person, we can take turns to carry Hero."
"That's right," Broken Sword echoed. "I don't like the feeling of staying in the room alone."
"I'll have to trouble you then." Hero smiled at No. 76.
Annie was much calmer. "Don't worry. I'll mention it to Lady Vendy."
"Thank, thank you..." No. 76 bowed her head deeply.
She had to admit that she had fallen in love with these juniors. Even though none of them could be called combat witches, the survivors of the Union had gradually changed their minds after more than 400 years of changing from prosperity to decline and living in the depths of the cave without seeing the light of dawn.
However, the envisioned replacement of Hero did not come true.
When Vendy came, she also brought a very exquisite wheelchair.
"Pushing the wheel can move back and forth, and rotating the wheel can also change direction." She personally demonstrated. "It was made by Anna and Soroya overnight. With this, Hero can also move freely in a small area."
Hearing the name Anna, No. 76 could not help but be stunned. "Isn't that the Senior Awakened that Nana claimed? Would they do this for an ordinary witch who had lost her legs? "
"Thank you... Lady," Hero's voice was a little choked.
"You're welcome. Just treat Neverwinter as your home," Vendy said softly. "As I said, all the witches here are your sisters."
While Hero was trying out the wheelchair, Annie made a request to the person in charge of the Union.
What made No. 76's heart skip a beat was that Vendy did not immediately agree. Instead, she turned her head and looked at her. After a moment of silence, she gently nodded and said, "Well, it doesn't hurt to have one more person."
For some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart.
