Chapter 64 Curious

Three days later, in the castle garden.

"Sister Anna..." Nanawa tugged on Anna's cuff.

"Huh?" The latter turned his head.

"Do you think, Sister Nightingale...she's a little strange."

"Strange?" Anna was taken aback, "Are you talking about her clothes?"

Nightingale stood beside Roland. She didn't wear the strange patterned robe that never changed. Instead, she was wearing the weird costume invented by His Royal Highness just like herself. Although Anna didn't want to admit it, the tall figure of the other party fully reflected the advantages of this suit - well-proportioned legs, slender waist, and long curly hair. With a cape and peaked hat, anyone will be the first to focus on her.

"It's not the clothes," Nana mumbled. "Don't you think that the way she talks to His Highness and the way she looks at His Highness are different from before?"

"Have it?"

"..." Nana curled her lips, "Alright, Sister Anna, don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes."

Inexplicably, Anna shook her head, ignored her, and instead focused on the other two new witches.

The one named Lightning looked about the same size as Nana, but was dressed in a very different way. Anna roughly counted at least a dozen pockets sewn into her rag-like coat.

As for the other witch, Wendy, she was not wearing the same patterned robe as Nightingale when she first saw her, but ordinary women's casual clothes. But there is something that Anna is particularly concerned about, that is the chest of the other party...it is too magnificent.

"Since you all agree to sign the contract, let's do the first training," Roland said, having the training experience of the first two witches, and now he is more than capable, "Lightning, you come first."

"Oh!" Lightning raised his hand and walked out of the shed.

There was light snow falling outside, and there was no wind. The little girl easily floated into the air, waiting for Roland's next command.

"Try your fastest flying speed first!" Roland raised his head and said loudly.

"Hey, look at me," she gestured with a thumbs up, made a starting posture, and then quickly turned around the castle.

Roland visually measured the speed, and it was around 60 to 80 kilometers per hour. This was a conclusion he had drawn based on his experience of running high-speed back to his hometown every year. As far as flight is concerned, this speed is not fast, and it is similar to that of ordinary pigeons. But it was an exaggeration to hear that she was able to fly with Nightingale and Wendy on the way home.

What is the concept of taking off with a load of 100 kilograms? In Roland's mind, a piston engine with a 100-kg aerial bomb hanging on it appeared...

But the next experiment shattered his beautiful fantasy.

When the load exceeds 50 kilograms (about 110 pounds), the flying height of Lightning drops sharply, from more than 100 meters before it suddenly drops to about 10 meters, and after changing to a load of nearly 100 kilograms, she can almost only stick to the ground two meters flew

In other words, if you want to turn Lightning into a bomber, even if it is a few kilograms of explosives, she will still enter the opponent's crossbow range because of the height problem.

But Roland quickly thought of a new use for the little girl—whether it was scouting or shelling and shooting, she was an excellent candidate. The encirclement and annihilation plan that had been bothering him before seems to have a glimmer of light now.

When the prince tested Lightning's ability, Wendy watched him quietly from the sidelines.

After leaving the monastery, during the fifteen years of wandering, she met many people, including commoners, farmers, craftsmen, soldiers, and nobles. They are always printed out of a mold. When they don't know they are witches, they show longing and admiration, but once they know their identity as witches, their longing and admiration will instantly turn into fear and hatred. There was an evil desire that made Wendy almost throw up.

She thought that she would only be with witches in her life, and that she would never be able to get close to any man again. This was also the reason why she planned to reject Nightingale... not out of distrust, but out of inner fear.

But Roland Wimbledon changed her opinion.

The way he looked at himself was too ordinary—just like he had witnessed countless times before. When she saw Roland for the first time in Nightingale's room, she thought it was because the other party was hiding it very well, and Nightingale was beside him. . But for the next few days, his expression remained the same.

Could it be because His Royal Highness's vision is much higher than that of ordinary nobles?

And the volume of the contract, Wendy thought it was just a formality. But when she started reading, she found that it was densely packed with clauses, which not only stipulated the responsibilities, but also stated the rights she had.

It's incredible! It is extremely generous to bring witches under their command without depriving them of their freedom, but they still declare their rights in the contract?

For example, Article 2.1 (the first time Wendy saw such a way of writing), she can have paid leave, interpreted according to the meaning of the words below, which means that she can just get paid and not work. The next one is that the witch should complete the experimental projects assigned by the employer, but if the witch feels that some projects are difficult to complete or cause discomfort, she can make changes or reject the application. The next article states that the employer should provide and guarantee the witch's safety, accommodation, food and salary. When these conditions are not met, the witch can unilaterally terminate the contract.

These clauses sound a bit convoluted, but the meaning is very clear. The witch who signed the contract is not the prince's personal property. She also has the same rights as responsibilities. In this contract, she felt the sincerity of the other party - if it was just for the sake of form, there was no need to list the contract in such detail.

Thinking of this, Wendy couldn't help but look at Nightingale. She was very aware of the other party's experience, and also understood her dislike of nobles from the bottom of her heart. But at this moment, when Nightingale was talking to Roland, there was a different emotion in her tone and demeanor—she might not even be aware of this change.

It had only been two months since she left the main force and went to Border Town alone, and after only two months of being together, Nightingale completely trusted this man.

Judging from the fact that she would rather sever ties with the Mutual Aid Society than return to Border Town, in her heart, His Royal Highness Roland Wimbledon is more likely than the Mutual Aid Society to bring the witches a true home. The mentor's actions are also heartbreaking. The founder of the Mutual Aid Society seems to have forgotten how difficult it is for any of the surviving sisters.

Wendy knew that she couldn't go back. Since he was brought here by fate, why did he no longer believe in Nightingale's choice? As I have trusted her countless times in the past—

"Wendy?"

"Ah..." Wendy came back to her senses, and found that Lightning's ability had been tested, and everyone was staring at her.

She smiled apologetically and walked outside the house.

If you make up your mind, you can't lose to your juniors, right?

At this moment, the horn hummed again from the west, and the sound echoed in the mountains, breaking the tranquility of the town.
