A storm is brewing in the waters east of the Fiordland Islands.
The gray cloud layer is very low, and from time to time there are electric lights passing through the cloud, and the dull thunder seems to be coming from far away, like the angry roar of the gods.
Hetty Morgan's mood was like this bad weather.
It has been more than two months since I Fei and You Yu were dispatched, and there is still no news to this day, which really makes no sense.
If it is said that the two places are far away, it is difficult to transmit news, but as far as she knows, Honey is also in the west of Greycastle, so she only needs to threaten the little guy and grab an animal messenger to come over.
Could it be that something happened to the lord's territory
Hetty closed the window irritably, blocking out the howling sea breeze.
Recently, the situation on Sleeping Island has become more and more unfavorable for him. Since Tilly opened the "Sleeping Curse", the non-combat witches have sided with her one-sidedly, and it turns out that the fjord people's need for auxiliary witches It is indeed far greater than the battle witch. After all, there are not many foreign enemies in this place, and the chamber of commerce employs witches mainly for business or opening up waterways.
As a result, the status of this group of helpless guys has risen steadily, and there is a faint tendency to compete with the battle witch.
And there are mortals.
Damn, why didn't he think of this at the beginning, Heidi thought bitterly, no matter how divided the island was, there were only two factions, as long as she always spoke on behalf of the battle witch, she would not be too weaker than Tilly. But now more and more ordinary islanders have migrated here, and the forces have gradually become three factions, and the latter are influenced by the Chamber of Commerce and almost only recognize Tilly. This can be seen from the fact that she has to leave the island every three or five times— Especially after receiving Thunder's support, she became a guest of honor on other islands.
When she thinks of this, an unnamed fire will burst out of her heart. How to build a good relationship with ordinary people and promote integration, this is simply a trick to strengthen her own power!
Tilly fooled everyone!
She is selling out the witch's homeland to ordinary people little by little!
Under such circumstances, he would never be able to replace Tilly Wimbledon.
It was the first time that Hetty had nothing to do with a 20-year-old yellow-haired girl, and her mood to win the battle witch to leave the Sleeping Island became more and more intense. Just when she was going to go to Sleeping Island's big housekeeper Camilla to ask about the situation and see when the Pretty Beauty would be able to make another trip to the West Territory, the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Sir, it's not good!" Tian Yan rushed in and said anxiously.
"what happened?"
As her longest-serving subordinate, Tianyan rarely showed such a flustered expression, which made Heidi feel a little strange.
"A new witch has come to Sleepy Island. I heard her name is Annie!"
"So what?" Heidi asked in confusion. Since the merchants spread the news of Sleeping Island, it is not uncommon for a wandering wild witch to come to the door occasionally.
"She came from Wolf Heart!" Tian Yan said in a low voice, "I have seen her before!"
Suddenly there was a thunder in the sky!
Heidi's heart couldn't help but tremble, and she quickly realized what the other party's "no good" meant, "You mean... She is the loser who was rejected by the Bloodfang Club? This is impossible! Could it be just the same name? "
"I thought so too at first, so I hid in the crowd and took a sneak peek. Although she was carried to the palace, her appearance was indeed very similar to Annie a few years ago!"
"you sure?"
"My lord, I'm not sure about other witches, but Annie is different... She also brought a partner back then, who is now Yifei." Tianyan gritted his teeth, "For this, Yifei kept crying all the way. She also shouted to go back, so I also wrote down her appearance."
"How could such a thing happen, shouldn't they all..." Hetty grabbed Tianyan's collar, "You let her go?"
"No, my lord, I did what you ordered!" she defended, "please trust me, I will never betray you!"
Heidi stared at her eyes for a while, and then slowly released her hand, "You said just now that she was carried into the palace, what happened?"
"She seems to have contracted the cold blight, and she's not too sick," Tian Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "There's already someone over there to invite Della."
Della's ability can cut through pain and restore peace, but it can't cure the cold. Heidi walked back and forth in the house for a while, "Tilly isn't on the island, right?"
"Yes, she went to Shuanglong Island two days ago, as if she was busy exploring the sea."
Hetty stopped her steps, "Go and call Higu over, by the way, let Sha Ji inquire about the situation. She has not seen Annie before, so she is not afraid of being recognized by the other party."
"Yes."
…
It rained heavily in the sky, and the dense rain thumped on the window panels. Hetty sat at the table without saying a word, while Tianyan and Nimu stood silently waiting for her next order. The atmosphere was rather dull for a while.
Suddenly, there were rapid footsteps outside the house.
The door opened and closed, and Sha Ji, who returned, leaned against the door leaf, took off her soaked raincoat and straw hat, and let out a long breath, "The witch named Annie was already asleep, but Della said her condition was not ideal. , the cold epidemic has already hurt the lungs, and the onset should not be a matter of a day or two."
"Really," Hetty's voice was terribly gloomy, "what is Camilla going to do?"
"She said that there is a witch in the western region of Graycastle who can cure any disease. When the rainstorm subsides, she will send Annie to the western region."
Heidi was so angry that she wanted to laugh, hiring One-Eyed Jack to go back and forth to the fjord was nearly a hundred golden dragons. When she asked for an envoy to Greycastle or other islands, Camilla always shied away in every possible way, but now she is doing it for a strange and useless witch. Send the Pretty Beauty
Moreover, if the other party is allowed to go to the Western Territory, once they meet with Iffi, all the things that she has done will be exposed, which is absolutely intolerable to her.
In any case, Annie must be left on the island.
Heidi suppressed her anger and looked at the sunset, "You should make her fall asleep completely, right?"
"You mean... with the Seed of Rest?" The latter was stunned, "It could be, but why would you—"
"Because she is a traitor of the Bloodfang Society!" Hetty interrupted impatiently, "You don't need to know the specific things, just understand that she is unforgivable."
"She's also a battle witch?" Higurashi was a little puzzled, "Why don't you wait for Tilly to come back before making a decision? If someone finds out, we'll be in trouble."
"The traitor of the Bloodfang Society will naturally be resolved by the Bloodfang Society," Heidi narrowed her eyes slightly, "and if she is handed over to Tilly, that innocent little girl will punish her more? What, you want to disobey her. my decision?"
"Of course not... my lord," Higurashi shuddered, "I am willing to deal with this traitor for you."
