"Is it really good to do this?" Wendy pointed to the ordinary people on the pier, and said in a low voice, "I mean, pay someone to welcome you in line instead of welcoming the Sleeping Island Witch sincerely... They know, I'm afraid they will be uncomfortable, right?"
"Then can you find a group of residents who consciously welcome the witch?" Scroll also whispered back.
"...No." Wendy hesitated, and finally shook her head. In fact, let alone a group, it is difficult to even find one or two. It is true that under Roland's rule, the acceptance of witches by the people of Neverwinter has increased significantly, and individual witches have even received special attention and love, but the migrants from Sleeping Island are no different from strangers to them. It is almost impossible for the essential people to put down their work and take the initiative to meet a group of people they have never seen before.
At present, the only thing that can allow Westerners to do so, except for His Majesty Roland, is the First Army with the participation of relatives.
"So there is no problem with your Majesty's arrangement," Scroll shrugged, "The big red flower, the welcome banner, and the family welcome team are all pre-calculated in the event funds, don't you have to let other departments take it? If according to His Majesty's original vision, the scale is much larger than this."
"Uh, that's right..." Wendy touched the sweat that didn't exist on her forehead. Ever since she learned from Her Highness Tilly that the witch of Sleeping Island is about to leave, Her Majesty has been excited for many days, except what the book said. Besides, what honor guard, song and dance troupe, fireworks show... The welcome items that sounded very powerful were listed in the memorandum by him one by one. If it wasn't for Hill Fox's intelligence ordering the expedition plan to be implemented in advance, the welcoming ceremony presided over by His Majesty himself It must be very spectacular.
"So, recruiting with money is the most appropriate way," Scroll said with a smile, "The average person can't get their turn. The ones who can come are excellent families with good records in the city hall, so you can rest assured." She After a short pause, "The witches are here, go and meet them, my lord of the alliance."
"Scroll!" Wendy said angrily to the other party, then nodded to Her Royal Highness Tilly beside her, and walked towards the guests who came from afar.
"Hello!" When the two groups met, she opened her arms and laughed in her softest voice, "I'm Wendy, the head of the Witch League, welcome to Neverwinter!"
…
According to the agreement, the witches on Sleeping Island are only counted as the territorial citizens of the West Territory and are not under the management of the Alliance, so Wendy plans to bring them to the residential area first and do a simple count of people so that the city hall can allocate food. As for the arrangement of visits and work plans in the future, she plans to discuss and decide with Lord Tilly after everyone has settled down.
The community dedicated to Sleeping Island was completed two months ago. The name followed the name of the Bounty Guild. It was called Sleeping Charm, and it was located right next to the Miracle Building.
Seeing this "grand building" rising from the ground and built to six floors, a series of exclamations sounded in the witch team.
In particular, the unique smoothness of the concrete building surface makes it easy for people to feel its extraordinaryness.
"Are those really stones? Why do they look so flat?"
"We're not going to live here, are we?"
"Don't even think about it, this looks like the lord's castle."
"If you can live on the top floor, the scenery will be beautiful."
Seeing everyone's curiosity, Wendy took the opportunity to introduce, "This building is only half-built now, and when it is fully completed, it will eventually reach a height of fifty-five meters, which is sixteen feet and five feet more. However, His Majesty Roland But he doesn't live here, although his castle is only three floors, it is located in the center of Neverwinter."
"So high... Aren't you afraid of collapsing?" someone asked in surprise.
"His Majesty has invented a special building material that can turn flowing slime into solid stone. This is just a groping. He once said that even a house as high as a mountain can be built with this material. ." Wendy smiled, "Of course, to do this also requires the help of witches. In fact, this building was built by witches and many workers. Am I right, Lian?"
"Hey, is this really what you did?"
"But isn't your ability to lift the land?"
The witches all turned their attention to Lian in the team.
The latter patted his head embarrassedly, "I'm just helping the workers build the soil slope. When they need to build a new layer, let the surrounding land rise up and become a platform attached to the building to facilitate their work. That's it."
"Then... will anyone show hatred or... disgust because you are a witch?" Sure enough, someone asked a key question.
"I haven't encountered it yet. I think they should have treated me as an ordinary person," Lian waved. "Sometimes, if I go early, the workers will give me pancakes to eat."
This is exactly the effect Wendy wanted, "Maybe many of you still come here with an attitude of caution and vigilance, which is normal, after all, Neverwinter is a strange city to you, and in the past hundred years, witches have What happened on this continent can be said to be unbearable, but I can guarantee that everyone will feel at home here, just like the name given to this city by His Majesty. Even if you will not join the Witch League, as long as you meet in life You can come to me in any difficulty, no matter how big or small."
"Nice job," Scroll quietly gave her a thumbs up.
…
However, Wendy did not expect that the first trouble occurred when arranging for everyone to register their names, life and abilities.
"Why do you want to record this?" a red-haired witch protested after handing out the form, "Didn't you agree that you won't force us to stay? I'm only going to stay here for two days and leave, this kind of thing is still considered Right."
"Me too. Her Royal Highness Tilly said that Neverwinter City does not restrict the witches' stay. I want to go back to the Eastern Territory to see."
"Since the church is gone, there is no need for everyone to leak all this information. If it is seen by people with bad intentions, it will be too bad for us."
Several people in the group of witches raised objections.
"I knew... it's Akima's group again." Ashes frowned.
"Aqima?" Wendy was startled.
"A group of witches from the East, sorry, they don't really agree with my leadership," Tilly explained in a low voice, "but their nature is not bad compared to the Bloodfang Society." Then she looked at the red-haired Witch, "I can understand your feeling that you want to go back and have a look, but now is definitely not a good time. Although the church has been destroyed, the hostility of the people to witches still exists in most places, not to mention those nobles, especially the East. Before Roland officially regained it, the witch's situation did not change significantly compared to before."
"How do you know if you haven't been there," Akima said reluctantly, "Or are you just helping your own brother blindly?"
"Watch your attitude," Ash's voice cooled.
"What, do you want to do it here? Like what you did to Heidi and Tianyan?"
Wendy bit her lip. She didn't expect things to be so troublesome, but she couldn't think of a way to comfort both parties.
Just then, Scroll stood up.
"Can I ask a few questions?" 8)
