"The Witch Union welcomes you to join us."
Vendy spread the prepared contract on the table and said to the witches in the Kingdom of Wolfheart with a smile, "Read the oath on the back of the contract and sign your name. Then you'll officially become a member of the union."
This process should have been completed long ago if Princess Tilly had not proposed the hunting competition. Regardless of who won or lost, she had been worried about the competition during the few days of preparation. The day of the hunting competition had been like a year, and she had even complained about His Majesty for a long time. Coupled with the artillery exercise that followed, the competition had been postponed. However, to her surprise, Annie, who seemed to be calm, had come to her.
"Sister Vendy, don't you want to test our abilities first?" Amy asked.
After staying in Neverwinter for a week and a half, this lively little girl had won the favor of most of the witches. Her naive and trusting personality made her quickly familiar with the others, and now she could call Vendy sister quite easily.
"The test is usually arranged after the signing of the contract," Vendy said softly, "If you have any questions about the terms of the contract, you can ask them now."
"Oh!"
Amy was the only one who could understand the words. The other three witches gathered around her, listening to the terms and exchanging opinions.
Vendy looked at the witches who were whispering to each other with great interest, and could not help but recall the scene when she had signed the contract.
At first, she thought that the rules were too "inconceivable" and that it was likely that the Lord was deliberately showing his benevolence. It would not be long before he changed the rules completely, or he would implement a set of secret rules to restrict the witches' actions. However, later she found that she was wrong. Until today, two years later, the basic framework of the contract had not changed. Based on this point alone, Vendy felt that the choice she had made at that time was the best decision in her life.
"Wow, we can get a Golden Dragon every month!"
"Can we buy whatever we want?"
"The part about paid leave... can't be true, right?"
"If His Majesty can't provide security and shelter, the witches have the right to terminate the contract... Is this really not a betrayal?"
Vendy answered their questions with a smile, just like how she answered herself in the past. She could almost guess at which moment Annie and the others would exclaim in surprise, because she had been just as surprised when she read the entire contract.
His Majesty had given the witches what they longed for the most, freedom and recognition. The fate of the Witch Union was closely linked to that of Roland Wimbledon. Vendy believed that even if His Majesty fell into a crisis in the future and could no longer provide him with food and shelter, they would not leave his side.
This connection was not written in the contract, but it was stronger than words and language.
However, it was foreseeable that there would be fewer and fewer scenes full of fun and memories. The newly awakened witches had a completely different living environment from them. They no longer had to face the threat of the Church, nor did they have to face the hostility of the people around them, or even their relatives. Naturally, they would not be like them, grateful for their hard-won new life.
After confirming the terms, it was time to read the oath and sign.
There were no mandatory rules in the agreement. It only stated that they had no hostility towards Roland and the Witch Union and that they had joined the union of their own free will. After the four witches finished reading, Vendy received a pinch from Nightingale to confirm its authenticity.
"Now, we're sisters." She smiled and hugged the four witches.
In this way, there were four more members of the Witch Union.
...
The place to test their abilities was outside the Witch Building, in Leaf's "Garden Jungle".
The first one to be tested was Annie. Vendy had learned a lot about her ability from Amy. Annie could also produce high temperature, but she could not ignite an open flame like Anna. The temperature was only attached to the surface of her palm. In the early stage of awakening, it was almost as hot as a torch. In adulthood, when it solidified, it could make iron red-hot and melt lead and bronze.
Throughout the test, Annie looked a little gloomy. It was obvious that she did not have much confidence in her ability. Thinking of Annie's experience of being rejected by the Bloodfang Association, Vendy could understand what she was thinking. In the Witch Cooperation Association, she had seen many witches like Annie, such as Mystery Moon and Echo. No matter how useless they seemed, they could always be reborn in Neverwinter.
"Great ability," Vendy encouraged. "The mechanical processing plant in the industrial zone will definitely welcome you."
"Really?" Annie was a little surprised. "Even if the temperature can't be separated from the palm?"
"Of course, the furnace area and the chemical laboratory are also... You'll definitely become a busy person in the union." She smiled and wrote down several possible positions in her notebook. No one was more proficient than His Majesty in identifying the use of the ability. With her current knowledge, she was far from qualified for this job. Therefore, Vendy often wrote down her ideas and gave them to His Majesty for review and judgment. In the process, she improved her ability.
Her ability was not as good as most of her sisters, and she was not the best in learning. Now that His Majesty had asked her to manage the Witch Union, she did not want to let him down.
After Annie retreated doubtfully, the second one to come forward was Amy.
Vendy could not bear to test her ability in detail. Fast self-healing seemed attractive, but it was based on the destruction of her body. The only thing to be thankful for was that witches were always in a state of minor injuries, so Amy did not have to worry about the threat of magic power bite.
After a brief inquiry, Vendy wrote down the position of the medical center in her notebook. After thinking about it, she found that this was the only place that was slightly related to healing.
The third witch hero was also the same.
She could transfer the disease, but not the trauma. There was no better place than the medical center. However, when she thought that the so-called disease was caused by tiny insects, she might be able to cooperate with Lily to carry out microscopic research. With this in mind, Vendy drew a circle beside the hero's name. After she received universal education and had a certain understanding of "Natural Science Theoretical Foundation", there might be new changes in her ability.
The last one was Broken Sword.
Vendy had more or less heard about the abilities of the three witches, but this Silver Witch had never shown her ability in front of Yorko and Phyllis.
"Let's start." She nodded at Broken Sword.
Broken Sword took a deep breath and closed her eyes. With the surge of magic power, her whole body burst into a dazzling light, which was almost impossible to look at directly.
Vendy could not help but squint and take two steps back. In terms of this momentum, Broken Sword was much more powerful than the other witches in the Kingdom of Wolfheart.
When the light dissipated, she sucked in a breath of cold air, almost unable to believe her eyes.
