"Sorry, she's always been so straight, and she's not malicious," Wendy quickly apologized. "You don't have to take her words to heart. If you get rid of the Sleeping Curse, you'll live a lot harder than you are now..."
However, none of the witches answered, especially Akima, whose face was particularly ugly, and the large ups and downs of her chest showed that she was in a state of intense fluctuations.
If it was just an ordinary sarcasm, she could have laughed contemptuously, or argued with the sarcastic person, but Nightingale's words left her speechless. Apart from the cowardly accusations, other words were like nails, piercing into her heart.
When they were still wandering in the East, everyone really spent a lot of energy in order to survive. Every day she is like a mouse without light, holding a copper piece in her hand to find other lost copper eagles, and then replace it with food such as bread. If she is alone, she can live in any town, but there are many companions behind her to take care of.
When a day's harvest is not enough, everyone can only suffer from hunger.
Akima believes that she is never cowardly, otherwise she would not have the courage to leave her homeland and set off into an unknown territory alone; it is also impossible to recognize so many companions and become their leader.
But Nightingale was right, since she met the Bloodfang Society, her group gradually lost its independence. After all, it's much faster for those fighting witches to directly attack the mice than relying on their ability to find leaks to obtain funds for survival. If she is lucky, the coins she grabs in one day are enough to be worth half a month of her work. Her guidance is only needed when traversing the desolate wilderness.
The strong fighting power of the other party has brought safety to everyone, so that she no longer cares about how many copper eagles there are in her pocket, whether it is enough to buy the food she needs along the way, or whether she can support a business trip. commissioned by teammates. After reuniting with the main force, has this situation changed
After a while, Akima gritted her teeth and said, "How hard is it?"
"I don't know the specific amount of living funds issued by Sleeping Magic in the future, but it should not be lower than the standard of the Witch Union, which is at least one golden dragon a month, which is four to five times that of ordinary people." Wendy Worried, "And there is more room and board expenses in this income, and even less can be spent freely."
"The most important thing is that even if you get out of the Sleeping Spell, the Witch Union will not be able to accept you for the time being. The reason is very simple. Your Majesty never wants a rift between the Witch Union and the Sleeping Spell, and this kind of thing can easily happen. Misunderstand… "
"That's it?" she interrupted angrily. "Twenty silver wolves a month, and everyone adds up to one hundred and twenty. She thinks I can't do it? Stop kidding me! I'm not from a noble family. Miss, in order to get a little food, I have searched the sewers and garbage dumps, and I am afraid of this hardship? No, this is nothing at all, if you don’t believe it, just show it to me, Nightingale! I know you are still here!”
"Miss Akima..." Wendy was about to persuade again, but was stopped by Doris.
"I know you're doing it for our own good, but I also think that what we did before was really too much. After being told by Miss Nightingale, I feel a little hot now." She shyly touched her blushing cheeks. , said in a low voice, "Perhaps Hetty Morgan did not take everyone seriously as she said, but we can't keep going like this. I support Akima's decision this time."
"Me too, if Akima is cowardly, then what are we?"
"And I!"
Everyone nodded.
"I've decided, I'm going to leave the Sleeping Charm - not only will I survive, but I will also pay them back what I owe before!" Akima said hatefully around the room, "Just wait for yourselves to die. Take back what you said, Nightingale!"
Wendy sighed and said after a long silence, "Since you have made a choice, I will explain it to Her Royal Highness Tilly. In addition, I will apply to His Majesty as much as possible to keep your special salary, so that when you are in the When you accept witch recruitment, you can also get some special banknotes, which will make life a lot easier."
Akima turned her head stiffly, "As you wish."
…
Walking out of the community, Wendy couldn't help but let out a long breath.
"What's wrong?" Nightingale's voice came from behind.
"It's nothing, I just feel a little... ashamed." She murmured, "I'm not what they thought. Letting them work for His Majesty Roland is the result I hope to see."
"But you still did it, didn't you? Because you know that doing this is indeed better for everyone. If you continue to maintain the status quo, their resistance will also affect His Highness Tilly, and it will be harmful to the Sleeping Charm." Birth shape, "I've seen too many similar people. It's far better to wake up with a stick than to persuade them with good words. Even more stubborn guys will not repent until they die."
Wendy couldn't help laughing out loud, "It seems that asking for your help is indeed the right choice. Even in front of Tilly, Akima, who dared to express her dissatisfaction, was speechless by your words. As expected, she once shocked the capital. Shadow Killer."
"I said it according to your plan," Nightingale twitched the corners of her mouth, "at most, her tone was a bit mean."
"The essence is your tone," Wendy sighed, "I even sweated for her at the time, and the phrase "enough is enough" is not exactly acting. If it were me, I would definitely make this choice. "
"Wait...how do I think this is not a compliment?" Nightingale muttered.
"It's a compliment, of course it's a compliment, with Chaos Drink as proof." Wendy smiled and held her hand, "Tonight we'll go and replace the ten-yuan rolls with drinks and have a good drink, how about that?"
"Okay, I believe you."
*****************
After reading Wendy's report, Roland finally felt relieved.
Most of the Sleeping Isle witches accepted the recruitment, and a few small groups did not add too much trouble, and everything went in the direction he expected. If this matter goes well, witches will appear in various fields of the production industry soon. People can see the active posture of this group of young and beautiful women everywhere, which should be regarded as a unique landscape of Neverwinter City.
More importantly, just thinking about how much leap the industry of Neverwinter City can bring to the addition of more than 70 new witches is exciting.
Just then, the phone on the table rang.
The signal came from City Hall.
He raised the microphone, and Barov's voice came from the other end.
"Your Majesty, the fjord explorer Mr. Sander Asuka's fleet has arrived at the shoal port."
