When the illusion disappeared, the hall fell into a strange silence.
After a long time, the book sighed, "It's no wonder that your second sister was frightened to the ground, such a scene is indeed a bit... terrifying."
"The ability to generate group illusions is quite rare, but it's not without..." Agatha said slowly, "I knew when I was in the union that at least two people had similar abilities, and one of them was a high-ranking star in Starfall City. witch."
"How many times can you use this ability every day?" Wendy asked, "Can you control the specific time period when the illusion appears?" According to His Royal Highness's habit, the next step should be to test the ability in all aspects to understand its characteristics, consumption and use.
"Probably... two or three times," A-Xia replied in a low voice, "What is the time period? Do you mean how long ago can you see?" Seeing the former nod, she patted her head embarrassedly, "I also I haven't tried it, but it seems to be more laborious the further you go..."
Wendy couldn't help laughing out loud, "It's not effort, but you're consuming the magic in your body."
"magic?"
"You should be able to feel it, like water flowing in your body, and like a swirling fog, you need to use it every time you use an ability," Shuju explained, "There are many other characteristics of magic power, and we will discuss in the future. I'll teach you slowly."
"Well," A-Xia nodded lightly.
Afterwards, Wendy asked her to use all her strength to perform an illusion. This time, the result displayed was almost a day and a half ago. It could be seen that the lights had been turned on in the hall, and the sisters of the Witch Union were sitting at the long table enjoying dinner. After that, A-Xia's magic power was completely exhausted, the girl panted and lowered her arms, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Wendy recorded the results of the two tests in the notebook one by one. As for the purpose... She couldn't think of it for a while. After all, the illusion can only show the things of the past, but cannot predict the future. Maybe it can only be done when His Royal Highness Roland returns. Judged. Thinking of this, she couldn't help being a little frustrated. His Highness had revealed to her that he planned to turn the Witch League into an organization that could operate on its own, and she would preside over it. However, she does not have the extensive experience of His Highness, and she cannot think about the application of sisters' abilities as comprehensively as he does.
After calming down, Wendy was about to give her a few words of encouragement, but Scroll made a gesture to her.
The two walked aside, and she asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
"Are you planning to tell A-Xia that if you don't want to go home, it's okay to stay here?" Scroll frowned, "Have you forgotten the review before joining the Witch League?"
Wendy of course knew that alien witches had to answer ten general questions about identity and origin under Nightingale's polygraph ability before they could be considered as the same kind, "But A-Xia is unlikely to fake it... Her ID card was made by Soraya. , and the origins can be matched. What's more, she has just awakened, and she is still a non-combat witch, even the Church, it is impossible to predict this situation."
"It's not only magic that can hurt people, a dagger, a packet of poison can have the same effect, or even better."
"No, how could she"
"But you can't deny the possibility," Scroll interrupted, "The city hall is responsible for the check-in review, and every family member will not be checked. The sudden awakening at this time has become the best opportunity to sneak into the castle..." She paused, "Of course I know that the possibility of this is slim, but don't forget, His Royal Highness Roland is the person we cannot afford to lose. Besides, His Highness Tilly still lives in the Witch's Building. In case of an accident, she will fall asleep. The sisters of the island are only afraid that they will completely break with Border Town, and everything His Highness has done will be in vain, and we cannot afford such a price."
"..." Wendy fell silent, she knew that Scroll's concerns were not unreasonable, nor was it aimed at A-Xia personally, but she was still a little unacceptable in her heart. As the first witch awakened in the town after Roland became the lord, A-Xia had to be guarded as a potential enemy. This contrast was really uncomfortable. After a long time, she said, "I know, I will send her back."
"I'll take her with you," Scroll sighed.
…
After leaving the castle, the girl suddenly became much more lively, and began to hold Wendy's hand to ask more about the witch and the lord.
"What's the matter," Wendy asked casually after satisfying her curiosity, "you seem happy that you don't have to live in the castle?"
"Uh..." A-Xia suffocated, then lowered her head embarrassedly, "I heard that Lord Lord, that is, His Royal Highness, is a very scary person, and he has to toss the women around him many times every day."
"Pfft," Wendy almost choked on her saliva, "where did you hear that?"
"Isn't he the fourth prince of Graycastle? I've heard it many times in Eagle City, where there are still rumors that the second prince is sinister and despicable, the fourth prince is greedy and lustful, and only the third princess of Clear Water Harbor is the real good. King." A-Xia whispered.
"So..." Scroll said with interest, "This is probably Garcia's way of publicity, but it's quite unique."
"Isn't he... that kind of person?"
"Yes, of course not," Wendy said blushing, "you will know later that he is the witch's most trustworthy lord!"
When they came to the community where the A-Xia family lived, the three walked up to a two-story flat and knocked on the door of her house.
It was Axia's mother who opened the door.
"Mom, I'm back." A-Xia shouted happily.
"Why..." She was stunned, looking at the two behind her daughter with a panicked expression, "Did she do something wrong? Don't you want her?"
"His Royal Highness has not come back yet, so"
"She can live in the castle and wait for His Highness to come back," the woman said eagerly, "A-Xia is very good. Although she is a little naive, she is willing to do anything."
"This lady, the Witch League is not what you think it is." Wendy felt a rush of fire in her heart, and she was stopped by the scroll just halfway through.
The latter took out a golden dragon from his waist pocket and shook it in front of the other party, "Your daughter is indeed a daughter, and when His Royal Highness returns, you can sign a contract. This is the first month's remuneration, keep it. already."
"Yes," the woman's attention immediately shifted to the golden coins, "Thank you, my lord!"
"Remember, you are taking care of her on behalf of His Highness, understand?"
"Yes, my lord, I will take good care of A-Xia."
…
After leaving the community, Wendy couldn't help but feel annoyed in her heart, "Why do you give the reward to that kind of person? Even if it is released in advance, that is what A-Xia deserves."
"Can A-Xia keep the golden dragon?" Scroll's answer made Wendy startled, "If she can't keep it, it will fall into the hands of her family sooner or later. If you keep it, it will be even worse, I'm afraid those people will completely ignore her. She is an outsider. On the contrary, if you hand it over directly to her mother, A-Xia will not only have no burden, but maybe they will treat her better because of it. The days to come are still long, and if Jinlong can exchange for a more comfortable living environment , it might not be a good deal.”
"..." She thought for a while before opening her mouth, "You're right, I thought too simplistic."
The successive setbacks made Wendy feel very depressed, and she thought a little sadly, maybe she was not the right person to lead the Witch League at all.
"However, no one cares more about them than you," Shu Scroll seemed to see through her thoughts and smiled, "After experiencing the mutual aid society led by Hakkara, I only understood... a witch who cares deeply about witches, no matter what their abilities are, And those who are willing to put themselves in the shoes of many sisters are the most trustworthy leaders. And that is something you cannot replace.” (.)
