Chapter 79 Answer
All the curtains were drawn, and the fire was blazing to keep the room at a comfortable temperature.
Unlike Anna who spends her coming-of-age days, Nana is awake. In order to ensure that she could quickly gather her energy before the pain came, everyone accompanied her to tell stories or play some simple games, so that she would not fall asleep from drowsiness.
Roland also performed a few coin tricks, which stunned everyone, especially Nana, whose eyes were fixed on Roland's hands. If it was normal, she would probably have clamored to learn it.
The magic of this era is still in the juggling stage of opening and closing. As Roland has seen in the palace, there are flutes and snakes, flames from the mouth, and broken stones on the chest. Compared with later generations, they are more specialized in blindfolds and fingers. Compared with the small magic of skills, it is obviously inferior.
In the end, Lightning tells about her sailing experience, and her father Thunder travels between islands and fjords, crosses whirlpools and hidden reefs, and hunts deep-water giant sharks and octopuses. Although he knew that more than half of it was fabricated, everyone listened with gusto, and even Roland was deeply involved in it-in the picture he conceived, those sailboats became ironclad battleships, galloping on the vast ocean, arriving at New World.
In fact, he was very ignorant of the historical process of this world, and the records with a clear time limit all ended more than four hundred and fifty years ago. Recalling what the prince learned from the court tutor, he didn't mention the reason. Maybe this guy didn't pay attention to the lectures at all, he thought. Border Town also doesn't have any archives or library facilities. After the Longsong Fortress is taken down, I'll ask a few knowledgeable people.
When Lightning finished telling the adventure story, Roland couldn't help but yawned. He looked at Nightingale, who shook his head, indicating that the magic power hadn't changed. It is so inconvenient not to have an accurate timekeeping tool, and it is impossible to judge how long they have been waiting. Roland poured himself a glass of warm water, sat down and continued to wait.
But gradually, everyone noticed something was wrong. This period of time was too long——Nanava was already yawning again and again, and she was about to fall asleep from exhaustion. Nightingale also became anxious. The little girl's forehead, while staring at the operation of the magic in her body.
Roland picked up the glass, only to realize that the water had been drained. He went to the fireplace and took down the kettle to refill himself. As he passed the window, he couldn't help raising the curtains and peeking to see if the snow had changed. As the heavy curtains opened a small crack, a ray of light came in.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that the dark sky had already turned pale.
"Look!" Roland opened the entire curtain, and everyone was startled by his shout and turned their heads. Looking at the faint light in the distance, everyone realized that a new day had arrived.
Nana spent the day of magic backlash safely.
*******************
Roland stretched and returned to the bedroom, only to find that there were two more people in the room.
Nightingale and Wendy.
There was no trace of sleepiness on their faces, only excitement.
"Are you sure that Nana's "date" is today—no, it was last night? " Roland asked.
"Yes, it's just that the changes at that time were very subtle, and I thought it hadn't reached the critical moment of backlash," Nightingale said affirmatively, "Your Highness, your statement is correct! As long as the magic power is continuously released, its total amount will continue to increase , but the physical pain will be reduced instead. If you can maintain a certain amount of training every day, all witches have a great chance to live past adulthood!"
"In the entire Kingdom of Greycastle, only your territory allows witches to use their abilities unrestricted. In a sense, this is the sacred mountain for witches," Wendy continued, "I want to beg you to let witches use their abilities as much as possible." Many witches know the news, let the sisters come to the sanctuary as soon as possible. I think they will be willing to help you."
"That's what I planned," Roland nodded. "When the month of demons is over, the citizens will have a certain degree of understanding and contact with witches. At that time, I will arrange for people to spread the news—— The way of rumors. You should know that I can't recruit witches in a big way, which will cause an uproar in the country," he paused for a moment, "unless the church dies, or I ascend the throne."
"Then I am willing to help you ascend to the throne," Wendy seemed to be waiting for this sentence, and she knelt down on one knee without hesitation, swearing allegiance. It can be seen that her movements are not proficient, it seems that she is learning and selling. But Roland didn't care about these details, he still accepted the other party's allegiance as he did to Nightingale.
After getting up, Wendy smiled at Nightingale, "How am I doing?"
The latter pouted, "Barely."
Roland shook his head helplessly, "In that case, let's go to bed earlier, I haven't closed my eyes all night."
"Your Highness, I have one more request." Wendy, who had just stood up, knelt down again.
"Tell me," Roland put away his smile and asked seriously. The other party made such a gesture to show that it was not a good question to answer.
"I want to go back to camp again."
"Wendy!" Nightingale looked at the other party in surprise, the latter's eyes were full of determination.
"I don't know if they have found the holy mountain, maybe they have, maybe they haven't. I hope to go to the Impassable Mountain Range after the end of the Demon Moon. If Hakara didn't find the holy mountain, they should have returned to the mountain."
"This situation is the most dangerous," Roland frowned, "Your respected mentor attacked you regardless of friendship."
"If she really wanted to kill me, I would have died," Wendy said, "The snake she summoned was "pain", not "death". I may not bring back much, not even one, but at least I can tell my sisters the news. As long as they release their magic every day, they don't have to suffer that terrible pain. At this point, her voice became extremely soft, "Your Highness, as long as you treat the witch well as always, my life belongs to you, so naturally I will not give it up easily." I will protect myself. Please promise me. "
Roland fell silent. Out of insurance considerations, he should reject Wendy. But he also knew what this kind of request meant to the other party—once she had the chance to save more witches, she would be willing to take the risk. If she refused, she might obey her order, but the sisters she lost would leave eternal scars in her heart.
"I promise you," Roland finally nodded, "but you have to wait until two months after the end of the month of demons, and you have to go with Lightning. I will give you muskets for self-protection, and... God's Stone of Retaliation. Lightning Serve as support from a distance, and you wear the God's Stone of Retaliation to negotiate with them. This way Hakara or other witches cannot use their abilities to harm you."
"Your Highness, please let me accompany her!" Nightingale said.
"No, Veronica. Your Highness's safety is much more important than mine. He is the hope of all witches," Wendy shook her head and smiled, "Protect him well."
