In the deep cave, everyone knelt down to a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes, and countless candles burned quietly, like stars covering the ground.
"Is this the new kid? Look up and let me see."
Yifei raised her head timidly, but she could only see a mask reflecting a cold light. At that moment, she really wanted to scream.
"My name is Hetty Morgan, don't be afraid, this mask is just to facilitate my freedom of entry and exit," the other party's voice was softer than she imagined, "From today onwards, you are a member of the Bloodfang Society."
"Why... you can't accept Annie?" Effie asked with courage.
"Presumptuous!" the red-haired woman shouted.
The other witches laughed softly, as if mocking her stupidity.
"It's okay," Heidi waved her hand, walked off the high platform, and came to her, "because I can't feed so many witches."
"She...she can find food for herself."
"Like a rat, lying in the gutter all day, begging for the leftovers left by others? Day after day, this kind of life will wear away all your wildness," Hetty shook his head. "Bloodfang will need beasts. , not a rat to be slaughtered."
"Wild... beast?" Iffi couldn't help repeating.
"That's right, have you ever seen a rock wolf?"
She shook her head.
"They are the symbol of the Wolfheart Kingdom, and they are also the masters of the mountains and cliffs. They can give birth to three or four cubs in a litter, but not all of them will survive. Do you know why?" Slow said, "Because the female wolf will kill the cubs that cannot be fed according to the prey situation, in this way to ensure that the remaining cubs can get sufficient supplies, so that the grown offspring can survive in the harsh environment of the cliffs. continue in.”
Effie opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"If the feeding of each cub is reduced, it is true that they will survive, but they are only alive - young wolves that lack sufficient nutrients can't hunt when they grow up, and they are no different from waste. They can't get out of the nest, There will be no chance to reproduce. If things go on like this, the rock wolf group will disappear completely. What do you think?"
"I… "
Hetty raised her chin, "Son, this is the revelation given to us by the gods, witches must be like beasts in order to survive the cruel oppression. And powerful fighting witches are naturally the representatives of the entire race. , for example... the present you!"
The candle swayed, and Yifei didn't hear the cheers, but felt the invisible force behind her like a tidal wave—it was mixed with the excitement, excitement, and excitement of the witches present, like a silent volcano.
After a while, she asked hesitantly, "Then...what if there was enough food for each wolf pup?"
"Then they're not wolves," Hetty smiled, "but dogs."
…
The whip slapped her back with a crisp sound.
"Idiot, this amount of training can't be completed, I've eaten so much food in vain! Say, how many whips is this?"
"Twenty-four," Iffi gritted her teeth.
In response to her was the next lash, blood and sweat running down her back, soaking her pants.
"That's it for today. If the training is like this tomorrow, the caning will be doubled." The red-haired woman threw a large steak among the four witches who were being punished. "Dinner time is over, this is what I asked Hetty. The extras that the lord will come, you should divide it among yourselves, remember, you are not allowed to use magic power.”
The steak was generous enough to fill the stomachs of the four of them.
However, fighting training consumes a lot of physical strength. If you can get an extra piece of food as a supplement between meals, the possibility of completing it will be a little more.
like a beast...
Only powerful witches can survive.
Iffy glanced at the fleshy steak, she rushed towards the witch closest to him.
…
"The Secret Society was wiped out by the church, and I heard that no one can escape."
"So is the witch's hand."
"The church has camped on the east coast!"
"That bunch of goddamn nobles," Heidi's face was very ugly, "I will tear them to pieces sooner or later!"
Wolfheart's witch forces were destroyed one by one, and only Blood Fang was still barely supporting. Although Iffy didn't understand what this had to do with the nobles on the island, she also realized that the situation was very dangerous.
"If that's the case, let Shaji and I get rid of them."
"It's too late! The church has noticed the Grand Duke Island, and we can't stay here any longer," Heidi gritted his teeth. "Let's go to Sleeping Island."
"You mean... the witch organization that sent pigeons to deliver the letter last time?" Effie asked.
"That's right, we can draw people from there to strengthen the Bloodfang Society. In addition, all this is only temporary, I will return here sooner or later! The Kingdom of Wolfheart is mine!"
…
"Damn, why are these people willing to obey a little girl's orders?" Hetty slammed the cup on the ground.
Effie was silent. In her eyes, most of the witches on the island are just lambs, and they don't have much resistance at all in the face of strong enemies. The same is true for the so-called leader Tilly Wimbledon. If it wasn't for an extraordinary witch by her side, she wouldn't be able to sit in that seat at all.
"Probably because she preaches that non-combat witches are just as important?" Shaggy interjected. "Everyone doesn't want to be left out."
"Ridiculous! She doesn't even think about who shot down the Church in the Fjords! Does anyone believe this stupid thing?"
"Tilly's brother—that lord of the West seems to think so too."
"They made it all up! No one knows what a lord likes better than me!" Hetty burst into anger, "You think I formed Bloodfang for—" She suddenly stopped, "No, I You can't let her talk nonsense like this anymore, you have to go to the West, to expose Tilly's lies! Bring my words to him, what Tilly Wimbledon can give, I can give more!"
For some reason, Iffy felt that Lord Heidi didn't look like a beast at all at this time, but rather like an angry lamb.
"That's why you abandoned me?"
Annie's figure suddenly appeared in front of her, "For such a master, for such a ridiculous life, you left me and betrayed my trust in you?"
"No, Annie..."
Iffy noticed in horror that the other party's face was blank.
"Did you... forget me?"
She opened her eyes suddenly, and everything in front of her disappeared suddenly, leaving only the gray-white ceiling of the room and the hanging chandelier.
Is this a dream
She hurriedly closed her eyes and recalled Annie's appearance. Fortunately, the other party's appearance hadn't left her.
Slightly relieved, Iffi rolled over and sat up, only to see a little girl beside the bed looking at her curiously.
From the unsuspecting eyes of the other party, you can tell that she must be someone who has never experienced hardships and struggles... the so-called lamb.
"Who are you?"
"Nana," she tilted her head, "did you have a nightmare?"
Only then did Yifei feel that her back was soaked in cold sweat, "I... Did I say something?"
"Yes, I keep saying that I am a beast... I am a beast..." the little girl spread her hands, "Why do you say that? You are not a beast."
She bit her lip, "You... don't understand anything."
"I understand," Nana said while covering her mouth with a smile, "Aren't you all human just like me?"
