Chapter 900: A Witch from Far Away (Part II)

"Is this really good?" Wendy said in a low voice, gesturing at the ordinary people on the docks, "I mean, pay someone to welcome you in a queue instead of welcoming the Sleepy Isle Witch in real heart...... If they find out, I'm afraid it won't feel very comfortable, right?"

"Can you find a group of residents who have come to welcome witches consciously?" replied the scroll in a low voice.

β€œ...... No. Wendy hesitated, then shook her head. In fact, let alone a group, it's hard to find even one or two. While it is true that under Roland's rule, the people of Neverwinter have become much more receptive to witches, and some have even received special attention and affection, but the migrants of the Isle of Sleep are like strangers to them. It is almost impossible for the people to put down their work and take the initiative to meet a group of people they have never seen before.

At present, the only people in the West who can do this, apart from His Majesty Cairoland, are the First Army, which is participated by relatives.

"So Your Majesty has no problem arranging this," said the scroll, shrugging, "the big red flowers, the welcome banners, the family welcome teamβ€”these expenses are all calculated in advance for the event, and you don't have to let other departments take them? ”

"Well, that's right......" Wendy touched the non-existent sweat on her forehead, since she heard the news from Her Royal Highness Tilly that the witch of the Sleeping Island was about to depart, His Majesty was excited for many days, except for the ones mentioned in the book, what honor guards, song and dance troupes, fireworks displays...... If it weren't for Hill Fox's intelligence order to carry out the expedition ahead of schedule, His Majesty's welcoming ceremony would have been spectacular.

"So, it's the best thing to do with money to recruit," Shujuan smiled, "Ordinary people don't have their turn, and those who can come are all excellent families who have a good record in the city hall, so you can rest assured." She paused for a moment, "The witches are here, go meet them, my Lord of the Alliance." ”

"Scrolls!" Wendy sneered, then nodded to Her Highness Tilly on the side, and walked towards the guests who had come from afar.

"Hello!" she smiled in the softest voice as the two groups met, "I'm Wendy, the head of the Witch Alliance, welcome to Neverwinter!"

......

According to the agreement, the witches of the Sleeping Island are only counted as the people of the West, and are not under the management of the Alliance, so Wendy is going to take them to the residential complex first and do a simple counting of the people, so that the town hall can allocate food. As for the future visit arrangements and work plans, she planned to discuss and decide with Master Tilly when everyone settled down.

The neighborhood dedicated to Sleepy Island was built two months ago, named after the Bounty Guild, known as the Sleeping Charm, and is located right next to the Miracle Building.

Seeing this "magnificent building" that had risen from the ground and had been built to six floors, a series of exclamations rang out from the witches' ranks.

In particular, the unique smoothness of the concrete building surface makes it easy to feel its extraordinary.

"Are those really stones, and why do they look so flat?"

"We're not going to live here, are we?"

"Don't even think about it, this is the lord's castle. ”

"If you can live on the top floor, the view will be beautiful. ”

Seeing everyone's curiosity, Wendy took the opportunity to explain, "Now this building is only halfway built, and when it is completed, it will eventually reach fifty-five meters - that is, sixteen feet and five feet high." However, His Majesty Roland does not live here, and his castle is only three floors, but it is located in the heart of Neverwinter. ”

"So high...... Aren't you afraid of collapsing?" said someone in surprise.

"Your Majesty has invented a special building material that turns flowing slime into solid stone. This is just a groping, and he once said that even a house as high as a mountain can be built with this material. Wendy laughed, "Of course, you need the help of a witch to do that - in fact, this building was built by a witch and a lot of workers, am I right, Lian?"

"Eh, is that really what you did?"

"But aren't you capable of lifting or lowering the ground?"

The witches looked at the lotus in the team.

The latter rubbed his head embarrassedly, "I'm just helping the workers build the dirt slope - when they need to build a new floor, let the surrounding land rise and turn it into a platform attached to the building, so that they can work easily." ”

"That'...... Will anyone show hatred or ...... just because you're a witch Disgust?" Sure enough, someone asked the key question.

"I haven't met them yet, I think they should have treated me like an ordinary person," Lian waved her hand, "Sometimes if I go early, those workers will share my pancakes and eat." ”

This is exactly what Wendy wants, "It is normal that many of you may still come here with a wary and vigilant mindset, after all, Neverwinter is a strange city to you, and what has happened to witches on this continent in the past hundred years is unbearable, but I can guarantee that you will find a feeling of home here, just like the name Your Majesty gave to this city." Even if you don't join the Witch League, you can come to me if you have any difficulties in life, big or small. ”

"Well done," the scroll whispered a thumbs up to her.

......

However, Wendy didn't expect that the first trouble would come when arranging for everyone to register their names, biographies, and abilities.

"Why do you want to record this?" protested to one of the red-haired witches after the form was handed out, "Didn't you say you wouldn't force us to stay? ”

"Me too, Tilly said that Neverwinter does not restrict witches from going or staying, and I want to go back to the East. ”

"Since the church is gone, there is no need for everyone to leak all this news, in case it is seen by people with bad intentions, it will be too bad for us. ”

Several members of the witch group objected.

"I knew that...... It's Azima's gang again. Ash frowned.

"Aqima?" Wendy was stunned.

"A group of witches from the East, sorry, they don't really agree with my leadership," Tilly explained in a low voice, "but they're not bad in nature compared to the Blood Fangs. Then she looked at the red-haired witch, "I can understand your desire to go back and have a look, but now is not a good time, and even though the church has fallen, the hostility towards witches still exists in most places, let alone the nobles - especially in the East, where the situation of witches has not changed significantly compared to before Roland has officially reclaimed it." ”

"How do you know if you haven't been there," Aqima said incessantly, "or are you just helping your own brother?"

"Watch your attitude," Ash's voice cooled.

"What, do you want to do it here, like you did with Hetty and Skyflame?"

Wendy bit her lip, she didn't expect things to get so tricky, but she couldn't think of a way to appease both of them.

At that moment, the scroll stepped forward.

"Can I ask a few questions?"
