Release that Witch - Chapter 427

[Chapter 420 The Lord’s Reply]

That night, Roland held a grand banquet in the lord’s castle.

This can be regarded as the first time that the Witch Union launched an active attack on the church. In addition to rescuing Speer Passy, a Priest Hermes was also captured alive.

When the five witches taking part in the battle took the stage, the hall erupted into warm applause. He, who seldom drank on weekdays, even drank two glasses of Evelyn’s special iced juice liquor.

Although it was only a small victory, the long demon month itself was nerve-wracking, and he hoped it would give everyone some relief.

When Roland walked into the office the next day rubbing his dizzy head, Nightingale was already sitting cross-legged on the table and waiting.

“Don’t you need to rest more?” He asked with a smile.

Ever since she agreed with the other party to intercept the envoys, she has never really let go of her mind. Even knowing that once she enters an open area, the fog ability will make her invincible, but she is still worried about encountering any accidents. After all, this is not a daily routine. Practice, but a real life and death fight.

Seeing her in high spirits now, he immediately felt much happier.

Nightingale swallowed the dried fish, “Of course not, I’ve already recovered to my best condition.”

As soon as Roland sat back in his seat, she jumped off the table, went around the back of the chair and hugged him, “If I take one more day off, I will lose one day of seeing you.”

The prince was slightly taken aback.

“Actually, I wanted to do this when I was in the castle garden yesterday… but it’s not bad now,” Nightingale whispered in her ear.

…

It wasn’t until the sound of footsteps outside the office that she withdrew her hands and disappeared into the mist.

“Your Highness,” the personal guard shouted, “Lord of Falling Dragon Lord, Marquis of Passy, please see me.”

“Ask her to come in.” Roland cleared his throat and straightened his posture.

Speer Passy walked into the office, saluted his chest and sat down at the desk, “I have carefully considered your previous request.”

“What do you think?” He poured a cup of tea for the other party.

During the days when Nightingale, Ashes and the others were fighting the church, he did not take time off. Apart from showing the Marquis around the town, he also had many discussions with the other party.

During this period, Roland succinctly described the crisis that the kingdom was about to face, the history of the church, and the threat of the devil, and told her her next plan.

When Speer heard the origin of the church and the reason for hunting witches, he was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out.

If Tilly and Agatha hadn’t testified, she probably wouldn’t have believed the statement that witches once ruled the entire wilderness, but since then, her attitude has changed quite a bit.

“Taking back the enfeoffment rights, implementing the same legal and administrative system, no inheritance of positions, no trading… I can accept these requirements, but…” She paused, “I’m just curious, do you really plan to put them Will it be extended to all territories?”

“That’s right, if you don’t do this, Graycastle will be just a beach of loose sand.” Roland nodded, “Before the final enemy arrives, I must gather as much power as possible.”

“You have offended all the nobles by doing this,” Speer said slowly, “especially in terms of not being able to inherit the position. If I understand correctly, the lord in charge of a place is also a position. In this way, you betrayed the king. Your identity will be confirmed.”

“That’s why I never expected them to take the initiative to back down,” he tapped on the table lightly. “Before the fate-determining battle of divine will, the resistance of the nobles is not a major consideration. In addition, I don’t want to drive them all out, as long as these people If they can integrate into the new system, they can even keep their own territory, and what they lose is only the right to enfeoff. I believe they will make a wise choice.”

Centralization itself is a system that can only be realized when the central government has absolute power. If the local power is strong, let alone centralization, even one’s own seat may be overthrown at any time.

Unlike a year ago, the small town now has the power to change. When this step is completed, there will only be one real ruler left in Graycastle, and that is himself.

“It seems that you have made up your mind,” Speer sighed, “If I don’t accept it, I will be overthrown by your army.”

“In this plan, what I lack the most is manpower,” Roland said sincerely, “especially managers who have experience in governing a city and a place. As I said, you haven’t lost your territory, and you can still The witch’s identity is presented in front of the people openly, and she no longer needs to be threatened by the church.”

The Marquis was silent for a moment, “I also have a request.”

“Please say.”

“After you help me regain the Fallen Dragon collar, I hope that nothing will change for the time being,” she said bluntly, “Unless Timothy is pushed from the throne, I can stand by your side without any hesitation.”

An appropriate answer… Roland thought, it was not a flat rejection, but it also left room for him to turn around.

Changing this sentence into a common saying is that UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com must prove to her that the unification of Graycastle is not just empty talk, but that she really has such strength, so she is willing to take refuge here.

“Then it’s a deal,” he didn’t care at all about the small plan in the heart of the Marquis. If the spring offensive goes well, Timothy’s downfall will even be faster than the recovery of Falling Dragon Ridge.

“By the way, Your Highness,” Speer hesitated, “for the witch’s class tonight, can I follow them…”

Roland was stunned for a while, “Those are very simple enlightenment education, you should have learned nothing.”

“I think those calculation methods are very interesting.” She shook her head and said, “I have never seen similar content in previous arithmetic books.”

Do you mean the nine-nine multiplication table or the algebraic equation?

He couldn’t help laughing, “Of course, as long as you are willing to join the Witch Union.”

…

After lunch, Iron Ax brought good news.

“He is willing to talk?” Roland was slightly surprised, “So soon?”

Hearing what Nightingale said, he thought the captured priest was a diehard.

“Not everyone has a will of iron, Your Highness,” Iron Ax replied solemnly, “The sand people have some unique interrogation methods, which do little harm to the body, but greatly destroy the will, and can even make people feel Death is a kind of relief, and he is better than many ordinary people.”

That’s not wrong, he thought, apart from having extraordinary willpower, professional spies also need to undergo special training in torture and confrontation in order to never speak, and it is obviously impossible for anyone in this era to have such experience.

“Take me to see him,” Roland nodded, “I happen to have a lot of questions I want to ask clearly.”
