Wendy woke up and found that the heavy rain that had been raining all night finally stopped.
She rolled out of bed with a yawn, pushed open the window, and the air mixed with the fragrant earth poured into the house. The rain-washed garden was green, and dripping water could be seen on the olive leaves closer to the window. The soft morning light sprinkled on the wet grass, reflecting a little light.
Another new day.
After putting on her bra and coat, she went back to the bed and patted Nightingale's cheek, "It's time to get up."
Nightingale made a faint nasal sound and twisted her face into the pillow.
Only at this time would she not hide in the fog and expose herself unpreparedly. Wendy smiled and shook her head, "Then I'll go have breakfast first."
Nightingale's ears twitched twice, it seemed like it was shaking unconsciously, but Wendy knew that the other party had heard it.
Closing the door lightly, she went to the bathroom to wash up, and then went to the hall for breakfast.
The chef always gets up early and prepares everyone's food before dawn. The wood fire in the stove will burn for a long time, so don't worry about the meal cooling halfway through. If you want to eat, just go to the kitchen with a bowl and a spoon. His Majesty said that this is called self-service, which seems to be a very common way of dining, but to her, this kind of life can be called a luxury. .
When she was in the mutual aid club, Wendy never thought that she could eat as much as she wanted one day. Food was always in short supply, not to mention the taste.
And here, there are three or four kinds of breakfast, porridge, toast, dried fish and fried eggs are the most common food.
Even though she has lived in the castle for more than a year, she can still feel a strong sense of happiness and contentment every time she eats.
And thanks to the people who brought all this to the witches so that the sisters could live freely.
When Wendy came to the restaurant with a bowl in hand, the hall was empty, and there were several used utensils on the long table. Obviously, she was not the first person to come here - the Witch Union has never stipulated a time to get up every day. , so everyone came one after another to enjoy breakfast. Like Lightning and Maisie, they always left the castle first, followed by Anna, Agatha, Lucia and others, and she was the one in the middle.
The latest is naturally the nightingale.
The reason is that His Majesty likes to sleep late, and when there is no major event, he will not get up to handle government affairs until the sun rises in mid-air, and Nightingale is also infected with this problem.
Obviously, she was the most cautious and sensitive member of the mutual aid society before, and a little trouble would arouse her vigilance.
But unexpectedly, Wendy felt that this was not a bad thing.
…
After breakfast, she came to the first floor of the Witch's Building, which has been transformed into the office of the Witch Union.
As soon as she entered the building, Ling immediately greeted her, "Sister Wendy, you're here!"
"Hello, Wendy."
"Good morning, my lord."
The other two young women recruited from the city hall bowed. They both graduated from the academy originally founded by Karl Vanbert. They were half classmates with Anna and Nana, and they had almost no prejudice against witches. The older one is called Pearl, the younger one is called Grey Rabbit, and together with Lucia's younger sister Ling, the three of them formed the first batch of clerks in the Alliance Office.
Of course, since Ling was not yet fourteen years old, the word "temporary" had to be added before the title.
Anyway, life here is very easy, just treat it as a special kind of study.
With their assistance, the Witch Union has finally entered the norm.
"Good morning," Wendy nodded and sat down at the desk, "How's the sales of the first volume of The Witch's Diary?"
"It's very popular," Pearl replied with a smile. "Everyone is very interested in the story of the little angel in Border Town, especially the soldiers of the First Army. People come to buy it almost every day. In the past week, more than 60 copies have been sold. , If things go on like this, the 1,000 copies originally drawn will be sold out in half a month."
Wendy was also slightly surprised to hear this result. After all, as a purely entertainment book, "The Witch's Diary" can neither fill your stomach nor help your studies. The price is quite high, and it is incredible that it can sell so well.
The idea originally came from His Majesty.
As a tortuous and touching drama trilogy, "The Witch's Diary" has won wide acclaim from the residents of Neverwinter, so His Majesty decided to follow the pattern in the drama to draw the witch's life story in the form of pictures, and then put it on the convenience market. Sold in boutique. The difference from before is that this time the protagonist of the story is replaced by a witch in the alliance, and the picture book not only has beautiful pictures, but also designed dialogues, which looks like a drama drawn on paper.
And the protagonist of the first volume is Miss Nana Pine.
This fifteen-year-old girl had already made a name for herself in Border Town. Her ability to heal other people's pain had a natural affinity. No one would hate an angelic character. In addition, His Majesty's strong supportive attitude towards witches , and the word of mouth of the First Army, her popularity is even higher than that of Anna.
After Wendy designed the story, Soraya drew it page by page, and bound it into a book. The price was set at five silver wolves. Although it was the refugees who most needed to know about witches, most of them did not Literally literate, and would not be interested in spending half a month's salary to buy a fine picture book, so from the beginning, it was sold to locals and businessmen who came to trade here.
The former can spread stories through contact with outsiders, and the latter can bring the deeds of witches to various cities in the kingdom.
Wendy couldn't help feeling inspired by the popularity of The Witch's Diary.
She couldn't wait to spread out the pen and paper, and began to conceive the content of the next album.
"Have you thought about the next story?" Ling asked curiously.
"Well, Your Majesty said that the next album will feature Echo as the protagonist," Wendy laughed. "From the extreme south of the Wild Sand and Earth Fire, the alien princess of the silver moon, what do you think of this title?"
"Okay... that's amazing!" the little girl smacked her tongue.
"When Your Majesty regains the southern border, you can also go to the princess' hometown to see what the vast and boundless desert looks like."
"OK!"
That's her job - to spread the word about witches so everyone can see them as they really are.
Diary of a Witch is only part of it.
Echo has become one with the Star Flower Troupe, and the immersive music made the actors full of praise.
Evelyn opened a pub next to the Holy Mountain Hotel, which mainly provides mixed liquor with unique taste.
I heard that Hummingbird will also join the city hall and become the deputy minister of the Ministry of Construction. It is also the second witch to become an official of the city hall after the book.
Everyone is working hard to build Neverwinter City, and at the same time let the people gradually accept the existence of witches and regard them as the same kind.
On the day His Majesty promised, Wendy felt within reach.
