When the nightingale finished speaking, the room fell silent again, leaving only the occasional crackling sound of candles burning.Roland looked serious. He finally had a general understanding of the witch group. The awakening of most witches occurs during the Demonic Month, which is the day when the gates to hell are said to open. Generally speaking, adulthood is the dividing line for witches. Childrenwho have not awakened after the age of eighteen are basically no longer likely to become witches, while those who awaken before the age of eighteen will suffer every year on the day of awakening. The pain of the demonic body.This kind of pain is unimaginable to ordinary people. When Nightingale said this part, her voice was trembling. According to her personal experience, it was as if something was going on. Something wants to burst out of the body, and every blood vessel and tendon will swell and ache unbearably. In the end, blood will leak from the skin and the eyes will bulge out of their sockets...If you can survive it, your body will slowly recover after four or five days of rest, but those who cannot persist will die from this torture, and the death will be horrific. Nightingale has witnessed the death of her companions several times. Their bodies lost their ability to support and turned into a bloated ball. Blood mixed with internal organs spurts out of the bodyholes, turning into bursts of black mist when exposed to air. In the end, when everything that could be sprayed was sprayed out, only a layer of scorched black surface was left on the ground. This is evidence that witches are regarded as demonic incarnations.Ordinary people would be frightened out of their wits when seeing this scene. Who would care about the real cause of death? Coupled with the church's encouragement and proclaiming that this is the fate of those who believe in devils, witches have become the agents of evil over time.No matter what outsiders think, this kind of torture is real, and witches generally have short lives for this reason. The further you get to the back, the more difficult it becomes. Many people choose to end their own lives.This time when the witch becomes an adult at the age of eighteen, the demonic body can be called the most difficult level to overcome. In fact, the magic power that the witch obtained before is not complete. Only after adulthood will this power become stable. . The stabilized magic power will be greatly improved compared to before, and it will even give rise to new branching abilities. Unfortunately, the stabilization process is extremely painful, and the power of body-eating magic exceeds the limit that ordinary people can bear. Many witches will die in adulthood. sky.Roland was silent for a long time after listening, and then asked in a low voice, "It is recorded in ancient books that witches can find eternal peace only at the Holy Mountain, and they don't have to suffer any more. The torture of the demonic body, is this real? ""No one knows, because the Holy Mountain has only appeared in legends. But if you take them to the Mutual Assistance Association camp, the chance of survival will be greater. Female If witches didn't have to hide themselves and could live freely, the power of the body devourer would be much weaker than before. "Roland was in a state of confusion for a moment. His plan required the help of Anna and Nana, but he couldn't bear it because his plan would put them in great danger. Finally, he said weakly, "Anna is downstairs. I'll ask her to come over. If she is willing, you can take her away. As for Nana, I won't see her until tomorrow.""Thank you for your understanding. I really saw you right," Nightingale stood up in greeting. At this time, Anna was still asleep. When Roland went to call her, she was lying on the table copying something. She looked a little surprised when she saw it wasRoland. When she heard that she was going to the prince's room, Anna followed him upstairs obediently without asking a word. When she entered the room and found another person inside, she was really startled. Roland took her hand and gave a brief introduction, and the three of themsat down around a round table. Nightingale repeated what she said before, "...there are many people like you in the camp, and they are all your partners." "This is probably the case. Miss Anna, although I have signed an employment contract with you, in situations that may endanger your life,I must respect your opinion. If you agreeÿ” "I don't."Roland was stunned, "What did you say?" "I said I can't," Anna interrupted Roland quickly, "I want to stay here." "Anna, I didn't lie to you," Nightingale frowned, "I can feel the magic power surging in your body, it is almost mature. Two The Devil's Month in a month will be your coming-of-age day. If you arrive at the camp one day early, you will be safer. "She ignored the other party, but turned her head and looked at Roland. "Your Highness, do you still remember that you asked me if I wanted to be like Nana and go back to Mr. Carl's academy with other children?Study? " Roland nodded."I didn't answer at the time, and I didn't care about what you said later... about living like a normal person," Anna's voice was calm. Wen Ziran said, "I just want to stay by His Highness's side, that's all."Roland thought he understood Anna's mind, but now he realized that he actually didn't understand it at all. He couldn't read any emotion in the other person's eyes. Not dependence, not admiration, nothing to see...only a bottomless tranquility.He remembered the scene when they first met, with such a calm look in his eyes. The difference is that her face is full of life at this moment, like a bud waiting to bloom. She is still not afraid of death, but she no longer looks forward to it."The evil phagocytosis cannot kill me," Anna said word by word, "I will defeat it." Nightingale closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "...Okay, I understand.""So, you will leave alone?" Roland asked. "No, I'll just stay here," she pulled up her hood and stood up. "Anyway, the camp won't move until the end of the Demonic Month.""Why?" Roland was shocked. Did she still have to monitor herself throughout the winter? "I think those who have never experienced adult chicks will not understand how dangerous it is. I have struggled on the edge of death several times and have witnessed it with my own eyes. When the day comes when my companion disappears, I can finally help her. If..." Nightingale shrugged, "If she doesn't make it through, I also have experience in dealingwith funeral arrangements. " She walked to the door, pulled off her hair, and curtsied to Roland again, "Then, farewell." After saying that, her figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, leavingno traces like mist. Is this what the nightingale is capable of? Roland mused, with his silent stealth skills, he was simply a born assassin. And throw from that handAt first glance, she has definitely received relevant training. In addition to accepting similar members, is the Witch Association also developing its own strength? Or did she already master these skills before she was recruited into the mutual aid club?There was so little information about this organization that Roland could not find any useful information in his memory, but he had a hunch that he would definitely come back later. Meeting this organization, as long as he insists on the path of becoming a witch species."It's getting late, go back to bed quickly," Roland said, patting the girl's head. To his surprise, Anna pushed his hand away and walked out of the room without saying a word.After closing the door, the light was cut off and shadows enveloped her. She leaned gently against the door board, and her eyes that were like a lake were no longer calm.She raised her head, covered her face with her arms, and finally murmured in an inaudible voice. "...silly."
