For the next week, the atmosphere in the entire castle was very serious. The heads of several major departments held a meeting for half an hour every day to report their situation to each other. .
"Why, haven't you found any trace of the devil yet?" Barov took a sip of tea and looked around at everyone.
I don't know if Wendy's willingness to take all the responsibilities eased the boss's concerns, or if the transfer plan for the golden second seed was gradually being realized, his expression was much more relieved than in the first few days.
"The sentries of the First Army have pushed the cordon to the border of the grasslands, but they still haven't found anything," the head of the garrison replied succinctly. It's difficult to extend the search further with supplies."
The abilities of mortals stop here, not to mention devils and evil beasts, even the insects and ants living there can easily kill you. El Xia seems to be reluctant to let go of any opportunity to ridicule. Let us leave this task to us. The witches of God's Punishment are in groups of ten. They have now advanced to the Pearl Lake area thirty miles away from the Fertile Plain. A small sentinel was established there.
"Pearl Lake?" Wendy asked.
It was the place where many bird nests were marked on the wolf girl's map. It used to be a dense lake with springs, and now it is almost turned into a swamp.
"Won't you be in danger?"
We have much more experience in dealing with demons than you. A God's Punishment Witch can deal with three to four mad demons at the same time. As long as five people go together, even if it is a small patrol of demons, they are sure to wipe out all of them. El Xue said with confidence, of course, if the wolf girl encounters a small patrol, the enemy's large army may not be far away from us.
"Aren't they going to act alone?" Barov asked curiously.
The demand for the red mist is destined for them to be impossible to leave the supply point too far, Pasha explained, after all, the devil cannot be as self-sufficient as humans.
"So... it's so far away from Neverwinter, can't you lift the alert?"
Unless we set up a sentry point every three or four miles and surround Neverwinter like a net in the center, there is no way to ensure that the enemy will not sneak in.
Even so, it doesn't make much sense. Another high-ranking witch, Celine, added that without the support of the listening talisman, when the search team observed the fearful beast, it was too late to send the news back.
Hearing this, Wendy couldn't help sighing in her heart. The wild land with complex environment was like an invisible barrier, compressing Neverwinter's sight to the south of the grassland. The entire northwest is like a mysterious realm shrouded in mist. All they can do is to slowly search for clues of the enemy in this chaos.
Lorgar's news came at an untimely time.
If Sylvie, Lightning, Maisie, Nightingale and the others were still there before His Majesty left for the expedition, even if they wanted to find out the situation in the entire north, it would probably only take a day or two.
Her ability is too weak under such circumstances.
"Although you may think that I'm nosy, Mr. Manager, can you tell me how the city residents have reacted in recent days?" Tilly suddenly asked, "Did they feel scared or panic?"
"Where," Barov hurriedly put down the teacup and saluted the Fifth Princess, "everything in the city is under the control of the City Hall. Recently our clerks have received a lot of inquiries, but most of them are Where is the enemy, and the first military needs no help, etc. That is to say, not only did they not feel panic, but their fighting spirit was high, and even the efficiency of the evening shift has improved a lot. Please rest assured, no one will put this matter to you. Sleeping Isle witches are connected."
"Really...that's fine."
"Of course, it's not that no one complains at all, at least the price increase of bird's-beak mushrooms and pine cones is real." The old manager cast a glance at Wendy, "If the alert is not lifted as soon as possible, the eggs will soon follow them both. followed suit."
"These can be put aside for now, but I think it's better to publicize the devil's affairs earlier, after all, they are completely different from the previous enemies." Tilly said worriedly, "If someone fanned the flames and brought up the devil's minions and repeated it, I would Fear that this will irreparably damage the trust between witches and ordinary people."
"This..." Barov hesitated, "I have to ask His Majesty Roland for instructions."
"Then write it in today's record," Tilly looked at Wendy.
"I understand," the latter nodded and was about to summarize the contents of everyone's report when a series of hurried footsteps entered the conference hall. Before she saw anyone, Ling's voice rang out, "Wen, Lady Wendy, she, she's awake!"
"What?" Everyone stood up immediately, and Wendy couldn't wait to say, "I'll go right now!"
"Cough, I'll go take a look too" Barov was just about to keep up when he was stopped by Ashes.
"That's the girl's bedroom. You'd better wait here for news."
…
Lorgar was struggling to get out of bed when Wendy entered the room. Her face was pale, and only half of her long ears were left, drooping softly on top of her head, and her hair was dull. Just such a small movement made her forehead sweat.
"I didn't expect... I'm still alive." She took a breath and turned to look at the crowd pouring into the room, "How long have I been in a coma?"
"It's been the tenth day since the day we found you." Wendy gently pressed her back on the bed, "Don't move, your limbs, bones and even internal organs have suffered a lot of injuries, and ten days will not work at all. It's not enough for them to restore you to the symbiotic seed of sunset. It's better to continue to rest until Nana comes back."
After learning about the role of the Seed of Symbiosis, Lorgar bowed his head slightly to Higaka on the other bed, "Thank you..."
"It's actually nothing," the latter shrugged his shoulders, "I think it's pretty good to lie here and drink Chaos Drink every day."
"In the depths of the wilderness, what did you meet?" Ash asked in a deep voice, "When you were asleep, you mentioned the devil many times."
"It's really a devil... and there's more than one," Lorgar closed his eyes, as if recalling the scene at the time, "I was tracking a hybrid demon beast at that time, and then I encountered two lone demons who were probably sentinels, It's also possible that she just wanted to hunt evil beasts." She took a deep breath when she said that, "I killed them, but I didn't expect that it was just a drop of water from the devil's army, and more enemies flocked to them. The number of Taquila ruins is immeasurable, and there are some unbelievable behemoths mixed in among them."
Following the wolf girl's statement, the bedroom gradually became silent.
