The witches were still awake. After experiencing a series of hardships, they still couldn't believe that they had been taken in by the Prince. No shackles, no guards, how could they live in such a spacious and comfortable room in the castle?
Vendy probably guessed the uneasiness of her sisters. She and Nightingale called everyone to her room, sat around the bed in a circle, and chatted to calm everyone's mood.
This is the demeanor of a leader, Leaf thought, if it was Cara, she would never be so careful, or even if she noticed it, she wouldn't have the leisure to comfort her sisters.
"Sister Vendy, His Royal Highness … what would he want us to do?" Hummingbird asked timidly, "Compared to you and Sister Nightingale, our abilities are far inferior."
Her words resonated with the other sisters, and they all nodded.
Vendy burst into laughter, "Let me think, um … the first thing you have to do is to practice your ability."
"Practice ability?" Soroya hesitated, "Will His Royal Highness make me keep drawing?"
"It's very possible," Vendy patted Mystery Moon, who had her head down, "You too, although Cara forbade you to use your ability in the camp, His Royal Highness won't. On the contrary, he will only encourage everyone to practice and master their abilities as much as possible."
"My ability will bring trouble to the sisters," Mystery Moon whispered.
"You still have to practice," Vendy said resolutely, "It's related to our life and death."
"Life and death?" Leaf couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, His Royal Highness Roland found a way for us witches to safely pass the Day of Awakening." Nightingale took over from Vendy, "From now on, we can say goodbye to the pain of magic bite, and all sisters can live smoothly until adulthood."
All the witches widened their eyes and looked at Nightingale. For a moment, they couldn't believe their ears. Scroll asked in surprise, "Is it the Miss Anna you mentioned last time? But you said at the time that you didn't know the specific reason. "
"Yes, at that time it was only His Highness' guess, but later on Nana's Day of Awakening confirmed this — she was also not harmed in any way."
"Then this method is …" Scroll couldn't help but hold her breath.
"As long as I consume magic power every day," Nightingale said word by word, "I can see the changes in magic power in the fog. Regular use of it would increase the total capacity of the body, and at the same time, the pain of body devouring would be reduced. When it's close to the Day of Awakening, as long as all the magic power is consumed, it will hardly cause any harm to the body. "
"I think everyone can faintly feel it too," Vendy added, "During the days when we were being hunted by the Church, we felt that we were being hunted down. We carefully hid in the corners of the town, not daring to use our abilities. As a result, many sisters left us every winter. But this year, in the camp of the Impassable Mountain Range, except for Ainin and Eich, everyone survived the Months of Demons. "
So that's how it is. Leaf took a deep breath. This was the Demonic Bite that she had encountered in the Barbarian Land. The reason why the duration was so short. "In other words, the Holy Mountain is not in that uninhabited place …"
"Yes, the Holy Mountain is not a specific place," Vendy nodded. "As long as it accepts us, doesn't regard witches as demons, and doesn't restrict us from using our abilities, it is the Holy Mountain."
"Vendy also made a request to His Highness Roland. She wanted to go back to the camp after the Months of Demons and tell everyone this news. " Nightingale looked at Vendy and said softly, "Even if you don't find the Holy Mountain, you can still live well in the mountains."
"Since everyone is back, there is no need to mention this," Vendy smiled and shook her head. "So, whether His Highness needs your ability or not, for your own safety, you have to practice it every day."
"If this is the key to resolving the magic bite, will there be other witches who have already noticed it?" Scroll thought for a moment and said, "We are not the first witch organization to gather together. In the Kingdom of Dawn and the Kingdom of Wolfheart, there are other Witch Associations. I have sent letters to them, wanting to invite them to search for the Holy Mountain together, but I have never received a reply. "
Leaf sighed softly, she knew that Scroll still had something to say. Since Cara found the ancient book in an underground ruin in the Eastern Forest, she had firmly led everyone on the road to find the Holy Mountain. At this point, the Witch Cooperation Association began a long journey of exile, almost through the entire Graycastle. Along the way, everyone met many new sisters, but also lost a lot of sisters. If they had chosen to hide in the ruins from the beginning, would they have found this key in advance?
"We can try to contact the witches hidden in other cities," Nightingale said, "His Highness Roland also has this plan. He wants to release rumors to make the witches pay attention to this remote town. If we can act as a middleman, there is no doubt that it will greatly reduce their vigilance. "
"But I still don't understand, in the end, why did His Highness take us in?" Echo was at a loss, this foreign woman from the Southernmost Region had a much worse experience than most witches. She was first sold by the Sand Nation to a merchant in the Port of Clearwater, and then later resold all the way to King's City. She was forced to learn dancing and court etiquette, and even skills to please men. If she hadn't happened to be rescued by the Witch Cooperation Association, she would have been sold at a high price to a duke or a minister. Until now, when she spoke, she still had a distinct foreign accent.
"Maybe he's just like those people who want to buy you," Lily curled her lips, "Men..."
"Don't talk nonsense, Lily," Nightingale said in a displeased tone, "His Highness Roland is different from those people, as long as we live here for a while, we will naturally understand."
"That's right, I have a deep understanding of this," Vendy still had a gentle smile on her face, "It's already late, everyone should go back to their rooms and sleep. Even if your ability doesn't work, you don't need to worry. His Highness said that he wants the witches in his territory to be able to live a normal life. If you want to know what His Highness will have you do tomorrow, "she deliberately paused," I think, he will probably start by filling out a contract. "
Leaf and Scroll returned to their room, the latter closed the door, "We should also sleep."
"Yes." When she had asked about her ability, His Highness had arranged for her and Scroll to stay in the same room, but also said that this was only a temporary arrangement, later on Border Town would provide a new single room. But in her opinion, sleeping three people in such a spacious bed would not be a problem.
She took off her coat and crawled into the quilt, an indescribable softness and comfort suddenly wrapped her whole body, Leaf couldn't help but let out a soft moan, burying her head in the pillow. After a long time, she softly asked, "Do you blame Cara?"
"..." Scroll sighed, "No one can predict the future, no matter what she did later, at least at the beginning she sincerely wanted to find a home where witches could live in peace. Now it's meaningless to mention this, sleep, child. "
