Release that Witch - Chapter 21

[Chapter 21 What You Wish]

When the nightingale finished speaking, the room returned to silence, except for the occasional crackling sound of burning candles.

Roland looked serious, and he finally had a general understanding of the group of witches.

Most witches’ awakenings occur during the Moon of Demons, the day when the gates of hell are said to open.

Generally speaking, adulthood is a dividing line for witches. Girls who have not awakened after the age of 18 are basically no longer likely to become witches, while those who awaken before the age of 18 will be devoured by demons every year on the day of awakening. pain.

This kind of pain is unimaginable to ordinary people. When Nightingale talked about this part, her voice trembled. According to her personal experience, it was as if something was about to break out of her body, and every blood vessel and tendon was swollen and painful. , in the end, the skin will ooze blood, and the eyeballs will protrude from the eye sockets…

If you can make it through, your body will slowly recover after resting for four or five days, but those who can’t persist will die in this torture, and the death condition is terrible.

Nightingale had witnessed the passing of her companions several times, their bodies lost their ability to support and turned into a bulging ball of meat.

Blood and water mixed with internal organs sprayed out from the holes in the body, and when it encountered air, it would turn into bursts of black mist.

Finally, when all that can be sprayed is sprayed out, only a layer of scorched black skin remains on the ground.

This is the evidence that witches are regarded as the embodiment of the devil.

Ordinary people were scared out of their wits when they saw this scene, who would care about the real cause of death?

Coupled with the fueling of the church, declaring that they believe in the devil is the end. Over time, witches become the spokesmen of evil.

No matter how outsiders look at it, this kind of torture is real, and it is also because of this reason that witches are generally short-lived.

The more difficult it gets, many people choose to end their lives by themselves.

The phagocytosis of demons at the age of 18 can be regarded as the most difficult hurdle to pass. In fact, the magic power obtained by the witch before is not complete, and this power will be stabilized only after becoming an adult.

The stabilized magic power has been greatly improved compared to before, and new branch abilities will even be derived.

It’s a pity that the stabilization process is extremely painful, and the magic power of Phagocytosis exceeds the limit that ordinary people can bear. Many witches will die on the day they reach adulthood.

Roland was silent for a long time after listening, and then asked in a low voice, “It is recorded in ancient books that witches can only obtain eternal peace in the holy mountain, and they don’t have to be tortured by evil spirits. Is this true?”

“No one knows, because the holy mountain has only appeared in legends. However, if you take them to the camp of the mutual aid society, the chances of surviving will be higher. If the witch does not have to hide herself and can live freely, the power of Phagocytosis will be stronger than that of the witch. It has weakened a lot in the past.”

Roland was in a state of turmoil for a moment, and his plan could not do without the help of Anna and Nana, but because his plan would expose them to huge risks, he really couldn’t bear it.

In the end he said weakly, “Anna is downstairs. I’ll call her over. If she wants, you can take her away. As for Nana, I won’t see her until tomorrow.”

“Thank you for your understanding. Sure enough, I saw you correctly,” Nightingale stood up and saluted.

At this time, Anna was still asleep. When Roland called her, she was lying on the table and copying something.

Seeing that it was Roland, she looked a little surprised.

When she heard that she was going to the prince’s room, Anna obediently followed upstairs without asking any further questions.

When she entered the room and found that there was another person inside, the girl was really shocked.

Roland took her hand and gave a brief introduction, and the three sat down around a round table.

Nightingale repeated what she said before, “…in the camp, there are many people like you, and they are all your partners.”

“That’s probably the case, Miss Anna, although I have signed an employment contract with you, I must respect your opinion in situations where life may be endangered. If you agree—”

“I do not go.”

Roland froze for a moment, “What are you talking about—”

“I said I’m not leaving,” Anna quickly interrupted Roland, “I want to stay here.”

“Anna, I didn’t lie to you,” Nightingale frowned, “I can feel the magic power surging in your body, it is close to maturity. Two months later, the moon of demons will be your coming-of-age day, go to the camp one day earlier You will have more security.”

She ignored him, but turned her head and looked at Roland.

“Your Highness, do you still remember that you once asked me if I wanted to go back to Teacher Carl’s academy and study with other children like Nana?”

Roland nodded.

“I didn’t answer at the time. I don’t care about what you said later… living like a normal person,” Anna said in a calm and natural voice, “I just want to stay by His Highness’s side, that’s all.”

Roland thought he understood Anna’s psychology, but now he realized that he didn’t understand it at all.

In the other’s eyes, he couldn’t read any emotion.

It’s not dependence, it’s not admiration, you can’t see anything… only the bottomless tranquility.

He remembered the scene when they met for the first time, with such calm eyes.

The difference is that at this moment her face is full of vitality, like a bud that is about to bloom.

She is still not afraid of death, but she no longer looks forward to death.

“The demon can’t kill me,” Anna said word by word, “I will defeat it.”

Nightingale closed her eyes, took a deep breath, “…well, I understand.”

“So, you will leave alone?” Roland asked.

“No, I’ll stay here too,” she pulled up her hood and stood up, “Anyway, the camp won’t move until the end of the Demon Moon.”

“Why?” Roland was taken aback. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com Did she still have to monitor herself for the whole winter?

“I think, a chick who hasn’t experienced adulthood will not understand its danger. I have struggled several times on the verge of death, and I have also witnessed the disappearance of my companion. When that day comes, I can at least help her .If…” Nightingale shrugged, “If she doesn’t make it through, I also have experience in dealing with funeral affairs.”

She walked to the door, pulled out her dagger, and bowed to Roland again, “So, goodbye.” After speaking, her figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, leaving no trace like mist.

Is this the ability of Nightingale?

Roland was thoughtful, and his silent stealth technique was simply a born assassin.

And judging from the dagger thrown with that hand, she definitely has received relevant training.

In addition to accepting the same kind, is the Witch Alliance also developing its own power?

Or did she already master these skills before she was recruited into the Aid Society?

There is so little information about this organization that Roland can’t find any useful information in his memory, but he has a hunch that he will definitely meet this organization again in the future, as long as he sticks to the path of witch farming.

“It’s getting late, go back to sleep,” Roland said, patting the girl’s head.

To his surprise, Anna pushed his hand away and walked out of the room without saying a word.

With the door closed, the light was cut off behind her, and shadows enveloped her.

She leaned lightly on the door panel, her lake-like eyes were no longer calm.

She raised her head, put her arm in front of her face, and finally murmured in a barely audible voice.

“……fool.”
