At that time, she still could not understand, and it was not until she was sent out of Radiance City that she realized the weight of the word "life" after a turbulent escape.
It's just that Andrea didn't expect to hear this question again from the Taquila survivors.
"Why, shouldn't I know?" Carol smiled and blinked.
"No, that's not what I meant..." She said a little embarrassedly, "I thought you ancient witches would never pay attention to such trivial matters."
"Because mortals take care of everything?" Carol leaned against the railing. "Actually, I used to be no different from those mortals."
Andrea couldn't help but be a little surprised, "How come?"
"Although witches and mortals are fundamentally different, how can the Federation put too much energy into weak witches? Unlike Phyllis and the others, my ability and magic power after my awakening are at the lowest level. Couldn't get any help. So at the end of the war, I was almost forgotten by the Federation." She looked at the surfing river, as if staring at her past self, "In those days when I lost my subsidy, I was with a group of mortals. Staying together, after the city is broken, it is also relying on them to persist until the end."
"But in Dawn's battle, you didn't act like a non-combat witch at all..."
Even the superhuman Ash, I am afraid it is not her opponent.
"Hundreds of years of training is enough to change everything," Carol spread out her palms and clenched them slowly, "Actually, compared to those of my comrades, I'm even a little fortunate to be the God's Punishment Witch. It at least made me stronger, No longer being ignored by others, I have the ability to do something for everyone. Now meeting His Majesty Roland is more like a reward."
Andrea suddenly realized that the other party might not have spoken to her for no reason, "Why... tell me this?"
Carol raised her head, "Because of envy."
She froze, looking at each other.
"Even in the age of the Federation, your ability is still a powerful battle witch. You are so young and have already awakened to a high level, and you will also have a seat in the upper ranks of Taquila." God's Punishment Witch said easily, "Do you know? At that time, my biggest desire was to join the Legion of Divine Protection and get the blessing of Lord Natalya before going out, and you can do it easily. Now I have lost the possibility of further strengthening, but you are still far away Not at the limit."
Carol paused, "Although according to the convention that the stronger the ability and the more challenges you encounter, there are still many setbacks you will encounter, but don't forget, no matter how bad the situation is, you will be enough to make people. envious."
Hearing this, Andrea suddenly understood.
The other party is enlightening himself.
Facing her father's late apology, saying goodbye to her childhood friend, and embarking on a journey of return alone, she did feel extremely depressed for a while, and it was only when she got closer and closer to Her Royal Highness Tilly that she gradually adjusted. The Witch of God's Punishment obviously noticed this and chose to share her past experiences with her at this time.
Yes, these twists and turns are nothing to the Taquila survivors. As a witch, what she has is much more than what she has lost.
"Thank you." Andrea said softly after being silent for a while.
Carol shook her head, "I'm just telling the truth," then she straightened up and turned toward the cabin.
"By the way, the question you asked before," Andrea said loudly toward her back, "fill the straw into the soil, it should be for the fertile fields, after all, Neverwinter City no longer needs them to make a fire.
The God's Punishment Witch did not turn her head, but made a "understand" gesture.
Andrea couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. She turned towards Neverwinter City, and her expectations grew stronger.
What is Your Highness Tilly doing now? Ashes will definitely be around her.
Needless to say, Sha Wei must have wanted to kill her. When she goes back, she must play cards all night to eliminate her addiction.
And when she walked with Lorgar last time, Maisie specially helped them to report the letter in advance. At this moment, she should still be wandering in the wilderness with Lightning, monitoring the devil's every move, right
"Goo!"
There was a screeching sound in the sky.
uh... is this a hallucination? She seemed to hear Maisie's cry.
As soon as Andrea raised her head, she saw a sturdy pigeon descending from the sky and slapped her face straight.
It really is!
Except for Maisie, she couldn't find any pigeons of such stocky weight.
"Ahem, you're getting heavier again!" Andrea plucked out the dove and spat out the feathers in her mouth. "Where's the devil in the northwest? Don't tell me you're taking a break!"
"It's not Goo!" Maisie argued, "It's Goo that His Majesty asked me to pick you up!"
"But I'll be there soon..."
"I don't know either, but Ben Gu is definitely not taking a break," Maisie threw herself on the deck, transformed into a terrifying beast, and the bow suddenly sank, "Come on, they are already waiting for you! "
Afraid that the boat would capsize in the river, Andrea hurriedly climbed onto the other's back, "Wait, who are they...?"
"Count Spell and Lady Camilla goo!" Maisie spread her wings and carried her towards Neverwinter.
…
The next meeting was not in the witch building or Roland's castle.
Half an hour later, Andrea was taken directly to the border city wall by Maisie. In addition to Speer Percy and Camilla Derry, Anna, Sylvie, Lightning and Axia et al.
His Majesty Roland was also present.
"You asked her to pick me up just to test new weapons?" After listening to the other party's explanation, Andrea couldn't help but said, "Even if she doesn't go, I can arrive at the riverside pier tonight."
"But we can't delay a day," Roland briefly recounted the news of the devil's change, "The First Army will be dispatched tomorrow, and before arriving at the tunnel entrance, this weapon specially made for you must be adjusted. to a usable state.”
"Really..." Andrea frowned slightly, the devil's actions always gave people a feeling of impatience, there was still some time before the red moon appeared in the world, they seemed a little too active. It's just that any movement of the other party can't be treated as a trivial matter. It seems that the overnight card meeting can only be temporarily postponed, "I see."
She turned her head to look at a peculiar "musket" in the crowd and said it was a gun. It was too big. The barrel of the gun was as long as an adult. Carrying the weapons of the march.
If it is said to be specially made for Ashes, there is still a little possibility.
"What kind of weapon is this?"
"Anti-equipment... no, you can call it an anti-terrorist sniper rifle," Roland replied.
