Wendy, Scroll and Speer were sitting in the lobby on the first floor of the castle, sharing the high-quality black tea from Glorious City.
He took the purring kettle from the hook of the fireplace, poured the boiled well water into the tea cup, and watched the water surface gradually turn a transparent orange-red, and the mellow aroma came from the churning white mist. Wendy felt that her whole body was covered. All became lazy. Blowing away the heat from the rim of the cup, she took a small sip. The slight bitter taste was followed by a sweetness that reverberated on her lips and tongue.
On the other side of the hall, White Paper is still competing with the Divine Will Seal. She has now mastered the technique of injecting magic into the talisman, and can control the output of magic more precisely, but no matter how much she struggles, she can only light up the talisman on the talisman. The first magic stone.
"When I saw her, I couldn't help but think of the days in the Co-Aid Association," Shu Scroll said with emotion, "At that time, I was afraid that no one would have thought that everyone would still be able to live like this."
"If I could have foreseen it in advance, Hakara wouldn't do it my own way." Wendy put down the cup, "Fortunately, the awakened sisters in the future won't have to go through the hardships we have suffered," she smiled when she said that, "Probably, We are the last witches to suffer."
"It is also the oldest group, and the time to enjoy a good life is also the shortest," Shu Juan said while holding his forehead, "It sounds like a big loss."
"So you came back so early today, just to take the opportunity to enjoy more leisure time?" Wendy joked.
"I only left after finishing the official duties at hand," the latter shrugged. "His Royal Highness Roland is away, so there are a lot less things to work on, and I'm not used to it."
"Really?" Wendy raised her eyebrows. "When His Highness comes back, I will tell him these words word for word."
"Well... Then I can't guarantee that you can understand every question by the next exam."
"Your relationship is really good," Speer chuckled aside, "Although I'm not young, I don't feel as deeply as you... Among witches, I should be considered lucky."
"Of course, not every witch has a high-ranking father," Shu Scroll took a sip of tea, "and will pass on everything about himself to his daughter - such people are rare even among the nobles."
"By the way, how do you feel about the city hall?" Wendy looked at her, "I heard you run there when you have free time recently."
"Benefits a lot," Speer sighed. "It's the first time I've seen such a separate, orderly, and closely related way of managing departments. Rather than letting several ministers take care of everything alone, the city hall will bear the salaries of its employees. It can not only avoid the difficulty of substitution, but also allow capable civilians to join in without hindrance... I really don't know how His Highness thought of this."
"She also had a good time with Barov," Scroll covered his mouth.
"Ahem, it's just that he asked me a few questions about the nobility's laws, which I happen to know quite well," Speer shook his head, "and the new laws formulated by His Royal Highness are very unique, and maybe they will fall into the dragon in the future. When Ling implemented it, I couldn't help discussing it with him for a while."
"Oh? Where's the uniqueness?"
"For example on the definition of the people on this part..."
"Sister Wendy, when will I be able to light up the second magic stone?" White Paper came over at some point and shouted with the sign of divine will.
"When you grow up," she stretched out her hand to the little girl, "Come, let me hug."
The white paper grabbed her hands, and crawled into her arms with hands and feet.
Wendy touched the head of the white paper and looked at the two people who were discussing the new law in front of her. She felt peaceful in her heart.
If only this life could go on forever.
At this moment, a guard walked into the hall. He looked left and right for a while, and then walked towards the four of them hesitantly.
"What happened?" Wendy recognized him, and the person who came was one of His Royal Highness's personal guards.
"Ms. Wendy, a town resident came from outside the castle. She said that her daughter had just awakened as a witch..." He stroked his chest and saluted, "His Royal Highness has explained that if he is not here, I will let you handle such a matter. "
"What?" The three of them were stunned, "A newly awakened witch?"
"That's what the man said."
"Show me quickly," Wendy said immediately.
…
At the gate of the castle district, she saw two townspeople waiting in the cold wind. One was about forty years old, with half-white hair, deep and long wrinkles on his forehead, and wearing a rather old jacket. Body slightly hunched. The other, much younger, perhaps seventeen or eighteen, stood beside the old woman with a reserved expression.
"This is Ms. Wendy from the Witch League," the guard introduced.
"Sir... Hello." The two bowed respectfully.
"They said they were migrants from the southern border. They moved into the inner city community a month and a half ago. I also checked the ID card, which basically matches the information above."
"Are you a witch?" Wendy looked at the young woman and asked in the softest tone possible, "What's your name?"
"The lord asked you something." The woman tugged at her sleeve.
"A-Xia." The latter whispered.
"You are her... mother?"
"Yes, yes, her father is still working in the furnace area, so I sent her here first," the woman nodded again and again, "Sir, may I ask what His Royal Highness said on the notice... The witch has a golden dragon every month. Salary, is that true?"
"If she's willing to join the Witch League, that's right."
"I..." A-Xia opened her mouth.
"She is willing, of course she is willing to give everything for His Highness," the mother interrupted her daughter. "Do you want to sign a contract? When will we get the money?"
Wendy couldn't help frowning at the other party's remarks, and it was easy to hear from the tone that the women obviously regarded their daughters as goods for sale, and even regarded the Witch League as a place for His Royal Highness to entertain.
She suppressed the displeasure in her heart and replied calmly, "His Royal Highness is currently handling government affairs in Changge Fortress, and I don't know when he will come back. In addition, you need to review and test before joining the alliance. You can entrust your daughter to the fortress first. , and then sign the contract when His Highness returns to Border Town."
After all, no matter what, A-Xia is always innocent, and she doesn't want to spread her anger against the ignorant to the innocent - although most of the aborigines in the town have accepted witches, but these evil moons came to the west after the evil moon. Refugees from all over the world still have deep misunderstandings about witches.
"Then please, my lord." The woman bowed again and patted her daughter's head, "Behave well and don't disappoint His Highness."
"Mom, I—" A-Xia wanted to say something, but the other party had already turned and walked towards the exit ramp.
