"To welcome our new members, cheers!"
In the evening, a long table was set up in the open space in front of the witch building, and a lively welcome banquet was held. Novel. Wendy and Scroll take the lead in picking up the wine glasses and holding them up.
"Cheers!" The other witches responded in unison.
Dai Lan and Momo were holding the cups with a look of bewilderment.
She did not expect that after she agreed to join the alliance, she was immediately dragged by Wendy to take a very comfortable hot shower, and then changed into a new set of clothes, including underwear, shoes and socks. Before she could recover from her gratitude and guilty conscience, she was taken to the front of the building again, but this time, the lawn had changed.
"At this time, just shout toast and drink the drink in one gulp." Lorgar demonstrated, "For example, like me gululululu"
"Cheers... Cheers..." Dai Lan summoned up the courage to imitate, then closed her eyes and brought the cup to her mouth.
"ton ton ton"
There was a whistle and applause from the crowd.
"Lorgar is coaxing people to drink again," Lily pouted, "who said she had to drink it in one gulp after toasting, I think she just wanted to drink it."
"But it's a strawberry white bar brewed by Evelyn. It's on par with the wolf girl. I underestimate her." Miyue said, "Such a person must join our detective team."
"So there will be some slackers and drunkards in your regiment in the future. It really suits you very well."
"There's still you in the group!" Miyue raised her index finger and said.
"I didn't! And you still owe me a ten yuan roll!"
"Uh, forget it, we can start over."
"go away!"
"Hiccup" Dai Lan felt a little erratic in her eyes after drinking a whole glass of wine. She had been forced to drink all kinds of wine with her before, but none of them was as hot as the one she drinks now. When the wine enters the throat, it is not bitter, but has a rich and mellow aroma. It is not until it enters the stomach that it is far more thick than the ale.
But the biggest difference is not the drink, but her mood at the moment.
Watching the wolf girl add a second glass of wine to the glass with full of fighting spirit, and seeing the enthusiastic smiles of the witches around, Dai Lan felt for the first time that drinking was not such a painful thing. It made me want to feel the same way with everyone, and it also loosened the emotions that had been suppressed in my heart for a long time.
At this time, another tall woman walked up to her with a wine glass.
"Welcome to Neverwinter, my name is Annie, I am from Wolfheart just like you, and even the experience of searching for the Bloodfang Club is similar to yours."
Dai Lan was stunned, "Could it be that you were also killed by the Blood Fang..."
"That's right, but I escaped halfway. There are many other witches who escaped from Wolfheart to Greycastle, such as this one..." The other party was pulled out from behind by a witch who seemed to be a little embarrassed, "Iffi, She was even a member of the Bloodfang Society. It's just that Heidi Morgan was selling witches, she didn't know about it at the time, but it's all over now."
It took a long while for Dai Lan to have a general understanding of the beginning and end of the establishment of the Bloodfang Club. It turned out that Hetty Morgan was forced to live in Greycastle due to her own selfish desires, and it was far more than she and Momo. And this nightmare-like organization disappeared two years ago.
Hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
On the way to escape, the two of them dreamed countless times that they would be caught by Blood Fang and sent back to the nobles. Knowing that this organization no longer exists now is equivalent to undoing a heavy knot in my heart.
"Sorry," Iffy bowed her head, "if I could have stopped Heidi at the time, these things might not have happened..."
"It's not your fault," Momo shook his head, "and... even if you can stop her, you can't stop those nobles."
"Indeed, it doesn't really matter whether the leader is a witch or not. Without Heidi, someone else would come to make a new deal with them." Dailan is very aware of the lust of those people. As long as they taste the sweetness, they will never let go easily. .
"Look, I'll say they won't blame you, right?" Annie laughed, "Since you've arrived in Neverwinter, you can come to us to discuss any problems in the future. Even a confused person like Yifei can stay here. I believe you will be fine."
"Respect." After speaking, she raised her glass.
"Cheers." This time, Dailan spoke much more smoothly.
"It's my turn again!" Lorgar yelled, flushed.
"And me!" Lightning also joined in, "I'm an adult, I can drink!"
"Cuckoo!"
"You can't, pigeons can't drink."
"Goo!?"
"Hey, don't just drink, but also eat something."
"Nana, you are underage, don't make trouble with them!"
The atmosphere on the lawn became more and more lively.
"It's been a long time since there have been new recruits in the alliance, and now there are two more suddenly. It seems that everyone is very happy." Shu Scroll couldn't help sighing beside the long table.
"It was indeed the right thing to take them to visit the Witch's Building first, and I gradually realized His Majesty's methods." Wendy smiled, "Even if they come into contact with the Sleeping Charm first, I can definitely draw them together. Press His Majesty's instructions. Say, this trick is called sugar coating... what's going on."
"You are also doing more and more well," Shu Scroll joked, "I clearly felt that my ability was insufficient at first, and now I am ready to attack Her Highness Tilly's idea."
"I'm just making an analogy, it's not like you've been able to learn everything very quickly since the days of the mutual aid association." Wendy poured a cup of Chaos drink for her, "But speaking, such a lively scene is really amazing. Don't get tired of it."
"Unfortunately, we can only watch from the sidelines." Scroll shrugged.
"What's wrong with that, if possible, I hope to watch by their side forever." Wendy said softly.
Scroll didn't answer any more, the two fell silent, watching the hilarious crowd while enjoying the delicious dinner. For them, this is not silent, but a tacit understanding formed by long-term relationship.
Until a familiar voice interjected, "After the banquet is over, His Majesty wants to meet the witch named Momo."
Nightingale's figure gradually emerged from the mist.
Wendy quickly realized Roland's thoughts, her relaxed expression condensed slightly, "This..."
"Take her there," Scroll said, "From the moment you reported your ability, something like this is bound to happen. After all, Your Majesty is more curious than anyone else."
Wendy was silent for a moment, "I see."
"If you don't want to know the answer, just retire first, I think Your Majesty will understand." Scroll paused, "But no matter what the answer is, we will continue as always, won't we?"
"... That's right," Wendy said both as if repeating, as if self-affirming, "whatever the answer is."
