"Please don't be impulsive, Your Highness. I don't mean to hurt you. I just want to talk to you."Hey, is there anyone who leaves someone to talk to like this? Roland swallowed some water and slowly turned around. Under the threat of the leader, he could only do what the other party said first.Under the dim candlelight, Roland saw the other person - she was sitting beside his bed, her whole body buried under her robe, with a hood covering her head, so she couldn't see her true appearance clearly. The candlelight cast her shadow onto the wall behind her, occupying most of the wall."Who are you?" "I don't have a name. My sisters all call me "Nightingale."" She stood up, pulled up the edges of her robe, and bent her knees to half-squat. It was actually a standard"First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to you, His Royal Highness Roland Wimbledon." grateful? Roland noticed that the patterns on the opponent's robe shone uniquely under the firelight, with three side-by-side triangular shapes that resembled eyes.The case... seems to have been seen somewhere. ÿ "The pattern on the coin... is the seal of the Holy Mountain and the Demonic Eye, which is the emblem of the Witches' Assistance Association."Barov's words suddenly flashed through his mind, "You...are a witch!?" "Hehehe," she let out a series of chuckles, "Your Highness is indeed very knowledgeable."Hearing the other party admit his identity, Roland relaxed quietly. It would have been better if he wasn't an assassin sent by those brothers and sisters. "You came to this remote town because of the witch in the Beipo Mining Area? Although I don't know. Where did you hear the news, but it's too late now. If I really wanted to hang her, she would have died long ago.""I know. And if you really do this, I won't just want to talk to you..." Nightingale sat back on the bed again, "The Mutual Aid Association doesn't like people to interfere in worldly affairs, especially Things related to royal power. But I don’t really like to listen to what they say. Killing a prince for a witch may be too much, but I can still do it to leave a deep impression on you." A naked threat. Roland felt relieved instead, "She is alive and well." "I know that in addition to her, there is also a little girl named Nana." She nodded, "I arrived here a week ago, but I just didn't meet you. What you did is that I I have seen it all,although I don’t quite understand why you don’t have the usual ill will towards witches. Anyway, on behalf of the Witches Assistance Association, I would like to express my gratitude to you.” "A week ago..." Roland wiped his forehead and said, "You see everything you do?" Could it be that this guy has been following him?Himself, and not aware of it at all? "Okay, you said you wanted to talk to me, didn't you just want to say thank you?" "Aren't you tired of standing and talking to me?" She said as she took off her hood, "Please come over here and talk. I'm not terrible at growing up, and I won't scare you.Download yours. " She is not ugly, she can be said to be beautiful. The moment the hood fell, Nightingale's golden curly hair fell down like a waterfall, and the golden spots under the candlelight slowlyblurred; her eyebrows were straight, her eyes were She is full of energy, and unlike Anna and Nana's slightly childish faces, her facial features reveal a mature look. Although it was impossible to take a closer look under the dim light, the well-proportioned shadows on her face were enough to prove her beauty.Roland slowly walked over and sat side by side on the bed. It’s not that he put the danger behind him because he was attracted by the opponent’s appearance, it was just that he simply I feel that the other party has no ill intentions."Now you can say it." "Sure enough, you are not afraid of me," the daughter's voice sounded a little happy, "You are different from those people I have seen... They hate us because they are afraid of us. Ican see it in their eyes Seeing fear, but you..." She couldn't help but stretched out her hand and gently stroked Roland's cheek, "Only curious." Roland coughed awkwardly and moved his head away. Hey, hey, don’t let the atmosphere change so quickly, okay? It was Assassin’s Creed just now, why is it suddenly happening?He becomes a domineering CEO. Fortunately, the other party quickly calmed down, "I'm here to tell you that I want to bring Anna and Nana." "No!" Roland was shocked and blurted out. Then he was worried that refusing so bluntly would offend the other party, so he had to add, "They live a good life here, and no one can hurt them. Besides, where do you want to take them? There won't be any land." It’s safer than here.”"Take them to the Mutual Aid Association, that's where they belong," Nightingale did not fall out because of the refusal, she still said in a calm tone. Said, "Members of the mutual aid association are all their companions. There is no discrimination or persecution... and they no longer need to pretend to be themselves.""Where is the Mutual Assistance Association? You don't have a fixed foothold at all, do you? My guards discovered you in the Hidden Forest a month ago. The campsite shows that you are heading north... What is there in the north, only endless mountains! ""You are right, the Mutual Aid Society is somewhere in the Mountains of Desperation, and it is absolutely safe for witches." "How is it safe to spend the winter in the mountains like a savage? Is there clean drinking water? Is there enough food? Is there a warm shelter? And the Demonic Month iscoming, and the whole The northwest will become a dangerous place, what are you thinking?" At this point, Roland suddenly paused, wait, what did Balof say? "Witches can only find true peace by going to the Holy Mountain. The purpose of establishing the Cooperation Association is to gather witches to search for the Holy Mountain together." See, could it be that..."You plan to go to the Mountain of Despair Looking for the Holy Mountain?” "Please forgive me for not being able to comment," Nightingale smiled bitterly, but her look clearly told Roland that she had guessed correctly."In this case, I will never agree," Roland vetoed. "Two months later, the entire outside world will be dominated by evil beasts. Even if humans can avoid humans in the mountains, they will not be able to hide from evil beasts. We must It’s better not to do this. You can find the Holy Mountain at any time. You can all come to Border Town to spend the winter. Itwon’t be too late to look for it after the winter is over.” This time it was Nightingale's turn to be stunned, "The Mutual Aid Association moved here? You... are really an interesting person," she thought for a moment, and finally shook herhead, "Your Highness, even if you are not afraid of witches, But your people are afraid. And once we are exposed to the public eye, the church leaders will soon come looking for us.” As long as we can survive the Demonic Month with the help of witches, my people will realize that they are not evil people. Just haven't waited yetRoland spoke, but the other party stopped him, "In addition, there is another reason why I want to take them. Anna is about to become an adult." "adult?""That's right," Nightingale explained calmly, seemingly sensing Roland's doubts, "adulthood is the first hurdle that all witches need to cross. Difficulties, usually the earlier you become a witch, the more difficult it is to pass this level. Your Highness, do you know why we are regarded as the incarnation of the devil? ? "
