"What happened over there?" During the conversation, Margery suddenly showed a look of surprise, "Joan... What is she doing?"
Roland also noticed the little commotion on the side of the hall, and saw that the businesswoman's witch friend actually left the corner and walked slowly towards Lightning and the others accompanied by the maid.
And Maisie went back and forth between the two, as if she was passing some news.
At the beginning, Joan was very nervous, almost only willing to stay behind the maid, only when the pigeon was approaching, she would stick out half of her body. But after the two sides came into contact, the situation quickly changed.
Not only did she have a conversation with the witches, but she even stretched out her hands and carefully touched Lorgar's ears and tail.
"That's it," Roland couldn't help laughing, "As expected of lightning."
"It's... unbelievable," Margery said, covering her mouth. "Do you know how long it took us to get Joan out of the water? Two months—still with the help of Ms. Camilla."
"How did she do it?" Lei Ting was also quite surprised.
"She doesn't need to do anything, just bring Maisie and Lorgar." Roland smiled, "Joan's defense comes from people's rejection of aliens, but when there are aliens around, this defense is natural There is no need to maintain it any longer - whether it is a pigeon or a wolf girl, I think she is probably the same kind in her eyes."
"Same kind?" Margaery repeated.
"Well, it's not the first time you've seen Maisie, and Lorgar is more similar to Joan," Roland explained the beast-like characteristics of the three princesses, "Anyway, you don't have to worry about the next few months. , can she blend in with everyone?"
"The witch named Lorgar... Wasn't she feared and rejected by others?"
"If she didn't, she wouldn't come to Neverwinter - even in the extreme south where witches are regarded as goddesses of the clan, the appearance that is obviously different from ordinary people will still be considered an ominous sign." Roland shook his head, "Of course. This kind of conflict exists to some extent in Neverwinter City, but it is not so obvious. As for the Witch Union, there is no exclusion at all. Everyone is a survivor from the bottom, and they are most aware of the nature of their abilities. The new sisters are here, and it's too late for them to welcome them."
"The unknown is the greatest fear." Lei Ting sighed, "In the beginning, the reason why I wanted to be an explorer was just to make a lot of money, but now I only hope that I can take a few more steps outside in my lifetime - this There are so many mysteries that the world needs to solve, and if you don’t get out, people will forever be huddled in a small piece of land, bound by fear for their entire lives.”
"That's why I decided to support you," Roland raised his glass to him, "there is an old saying among us: people will always become as big as their own thoughts, and if you think so, you are destined to be remembered by history. ."
"Thank you for your high praise," Lei Ting smiled, "I will try my best to live up to your expectations."
Margery stared at Joan for a long time, as if thinking about something. After a while, she turned her head and stroked Roland's chest, "Your Majesty, I have an unkind request."
"you say."
"After this expedition, I originally wanted Joan to go back to the fjord and settle down in her birthplace," she said softly. "Life at the sea is too lonely, and I don't want her to live alone. But Now I've changed my mind..." Margaret paused, "Your Majesty, can I entrust her to you?"
"You mean—leave her in Neverwinter?"
"If it is the environment of the fjord, Joan may only be able to move around in a small area and talk to very few people. With you, she can at least make real companions." The businesswoman nodded, " After all, it was I who took her away from the familiar sea, and I can't betray her trust - now I think there is no more suitable place than yours."
"Of course there is no problem," Roland smiled slightly, "The Witch League was established for this very purpose."
"With your words, I'm relieved," Margery said in relief, raising her skirt and saluting.
*****************
Lily yawned and went back to the bedroom, hanging the wet towel on the hanger, and was about to flip through the biology book for a while before going to bed, when she heard Miyue's small words behind her.
"lose...lose...lose..."
She rolled her eyes, pretended she didn't hear it, and opened the page indifferently.
Sure enough, the other party's voice immediately became much louder.
"The detective team lost... the detective team lost... the detective team lost..."
"Are you finished!" Lily suddenly felt the blue veins jumping on her forehead, and turned around suddenly, "Sleep honestly!"
"But we lost," Miyue held the pillow with a look of unwillingness on her face, "Don't you feel heartache? I thought about how to win her over, but it fell short. Look at how they communicate. , it doesn't seem like they can understand each other's words at all. How did they do this? Could they have known each other before
What does it mean to fall short, you have already lost if the other party has not yet contributed, "Why should I feel heartache? Who are you and us!" Lily interrupted, "I repeat, there were only three detectives at the beginning, and now The challenge is lost, and the number of people is still smaller than the opponent, it is a complete defeat, you should disband soon!"
After speaking, she snorted, turned her eyes back to the book, and decided that no matter how much the other party interfered, she would not pay attention.
But unexpectedly, Mystery Moon did not continue to entangle, and there was silence for a while behind her.
This is not right.
She felt a little uneasy in her heart, did she go too far? Although this guy was a little annoying, his starting point was good. If it wasn't for such a mess, Joan wouldn't know how long it would take to get together with everyone. Apart from overhearing His Majesty's conversation, it was a big mistake, and no other damage was done... Maybe you are too harsh
Suddenly a heavier thought jumped into her mind.
This guy, Mystery Moon, is different from her. He used to be very reserved before, and because of his ability, he was often reprimanded by Hakkara along the way. He was like a transparent person in the mutual aid society. Now that the other party has finally become cheerful and lively, will she become slumped again because of her blame
Thinking of this, Lily suddenly felt a little regretful.
She swallowed, turned around slowly, and the words of apology were already on her lips.
However, what caught her eye was a ten-yuan scroll.
I saw that the other party touched behind her at some point, raised both hands, and respectfully held the banknotes and handed them to her.
"What, what are you doing?" Lily was taken aback by this move.
"Please don't leave the detective team, I'd like to exchange a bottle of Chaos Drink!" Miyue frowned, "If you leave, the detective team will never have a chance to turn over again!"
Everyone said I'm not, can I listen to what people have to say? Lily helped her forehead helplessly, and she was a little relieved. Fortunately, this guy is not as fragile as she thought after releasing his nature.
After a long silence, she reached out and took the other party's ten yuan scroll.
"You agreed?" Miyue was overjoyed.
"No," Lily knocked on the table, "I still have a lot to do, and I don't have time to accompany you to mess around with you. But I can give you a hint, and this note is the reward. If I don't occupy me in the future During the working hours, I can also give you some ideas for the detective team, at least it is much better than attracting strange witches."
"What hint?"
"If you want to expand the size of the team, you shouldn't come to me - not everyone in the Witch League is as busy as Soraya, you can target those who are idle." Lily held back the guilt in her heart, He secretly said sorry, "Think about it, who else accompanied you to the academy to find clues about arson last time?"
"Um... You mean looking for Evelyn? She can't do it. Although there is not much time to use her abilities, there is still a tavern to take care of."
"Not her."
"Uh... You mean, Amy?" Miyue showed hesitation, "But she's not from Greycastle, and she has her own companion..."
"Isn't that better? Pulling her into the detective team is equivalent to bringing the Wolfheart Witch over together," Lily said, breaking her fingers. "Apart from Annie, Hero and Broken Sword are not too busy, and The latter also has regular cooperation with you... Does it matter where they come from? Is Joan or the Witch of the Fjords, why didn't you see any concerns?"
"I-I know!"
"In addition, those fighting witches who originally belonged to the Bloodfang Society can also be considered. They are usually very busy anyway. As long as you speak, I think they should not refuse. This way, there are several more people than the expedition group, at least not in size. Lose the opponent. But remember two points, one is that you must never cause trouble to your Majesty, and the other is not to challenge the expedition team at will," Lily urged, "I don't know why, I always feel that you can't win against the other party."
"Because you are biased." Miyue pouted.
"No wonder! Anyway, that's all I have to say, go to bed and don't disturb me again." She waved her hand.
"Oh..." Miyue just took a step and turned around.
"What's wrong?" Lily found that she was much more patient after experiencing the ups and downs before.
That's all, just take it as a precaution, it's better than regretting it when something goes wrong.
"My ten-yuan scroll is the fee for recruiting you..." Miyue hesitated, "Since you don't join the detective team, can you give it back to me?"
In an instant, Lily heard a glass-like shattering sound in her heart.
"No-door! You-give-me-go-open!"
