Chapter 575: Wendy's Expectations
Wendy wakes up to find that the rain has finally stopped after a long night. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
She yawned and rolled out of bed, pushed open the window, and the earthy air poured into the room. The rain-washed garden is full of greenery, and droplets of water can be seen on the olive leaves closer to the window. The soft morning light sprinkled on the wet grass and reflected a little light.
It's a new day.
She put on her corset and coat, returned to the bed and patted Nightingale on the cheek, "It's time to get up." ”
The nightingale let out a muffled nasal voice and twisted her face into the pillow.
Only then would she not hide in the fog and be unsuspectingly exposed to herself, Wendy smiled and shook her head, "Then I'll go have breakfast first." ”
The nightingale's ears twitched twice, looking like an unconscious tremble, but Wendy knew that the other had heard.
Closing the door softly, she went to the bathroom to wash up before heading to the hall for breakfast.
The chef always wakes up early and prepares everyone's food before dawn. The firewood in the stove will burn for a long time, so you don't have to worry about the meal cooling down halfway. If you want to eat, just take the bowl and spoon to the kitchen and get it, Your Majesty said that this is called buffet, it seems to be a very common way to eat, but for her, such a life can be called a luxury.
When she was at Mutual Aid, Wendy never imagined that one day she would be able to eat as much as she wanted, and food would always be in short supply, let alone taste.
Here, there are three or four types of breakfast, with white porridge, toast, dried fish and fried eggs being the most common foods.
Even though she has been living in the castle for more than a year, she still feels a sense of happiness and satisfaction every time she eats.
And gratitude to the people who brought all this to the witches so that the sisters could live freely.
When Wendy arrived at the dining room with the bowl, the room was empty, and there were several pairs of used cutlery on the long table, apparently she was not the first to arrive - the League of Witches had never set a time to wake up every day, so everyone came to enjoy breakfast one after another. Like Lightning and Maisie, she was always the first to leave the castle, followed by Anna, Agatha, Lucia, and others, and she was the one caught in the middle.
The latest is naturally the nightingale.
The reason is that His Majesty likes to sleep very much, and when there is no major event, he will basically not get up until the sun rises in mid-air to deal with government affairs, and the nightingale is also infected with this disease.
Obviously, she used to be the most cautious and sensitive member of the mutual aid association, and the slightest disturbance would cause her to be alert.
But unexpectedly, Wendy doesn't think it's a bad thing.
......
After breakfast, she made her way to the first floor of the Witches' Building, which had been converted into the offices of the Witches.
As soon as she entered the building, Suzu immediately greeted her, "Sister Wendy, you're here!"
"Hello, Mistress Wendy. ”
"Good morning, sir. ”
The other two young women recruited from the town hall bowed down, both of whom had graduated from the original academy founded by Carl Van Burt, and were half classmates of Anna and Nanawa, and had little prejudice against witches. The older one is called Pearl, the younger one is called Gray Rabbit, and Lucia's sister Suzu, and the three of them make up the first batch of clerks in the League office.
Of course, since Suzu is not yet 14 years old, the word "temporary" must be added in front of the position.
Anyway, the work here is very easy, so it's a special kind of learning.
With their help, the League of Witches has finally come into its way.
"Good morning," Wendy nodded, sitting down at her desk, "How's the first volume of The Witch's Diaries selling?"
"It's very popular," Pearl replied with a smile, "and everyone is interested in the story of the little angel in the border town, especially the soldiers of the First Army, who come to buy it almost every day. In the past week, more than 60 copies have been sold, and if this continues, all the 1,000 copies of the original drawings will be sold out in half a month. ”
Wendy was also slightly surprised to hear this result. After all, "The Witch's Diaries", as a pure entertainment book, can neither fill the stomach nor help with studies, and the price is quite expensive, it is unbelievable that it can sell so well.
The idea first came from His Majesty.
As a trilogy of twists and turns and touching, The Witch's Diary was widely praised by the citizens of Neverwinter, so His Majesty decided to draw the story of the witch's life in the form of pictures and sell it in the boutique of the convenience market. Unlike before, the main character in this story has been replaced by a witch from the Alliance, and the album not only has beautiful illustrations, but also designed dialogue, which looks like a play on paper.
The protagonist of the first book is Miss Nanawa Pine.
This fifteen-year-old girl had already made a name for herself in Frontier Town, and her ability to heal the wounds of others was so natural that no one would hate an angelic figure, coupled with Her Majesty's strong support for witches and word of mouth from the First Army, she was even more popular than Anna.
When Wendy had designed the story, it was drawn by Zoroa page by page and bound into a book, which was priced at five silver wolves - although the most important thing to know about witches were out-of-town outcasts, most of them were illiterate and would not be interested in spending half a month's salary on a beautiful picture book, so from the beginning, it was sold to locals and merchants who came to trade here.
The former can spread stories through contact with outsiders, and the latter can bring the deeds of witches to the cities of the kingdom.
Seeing how popular The Witch's Diaries was, Wendy couldn't help but be inspired.
She couldn't wait to spread out the pen and paper and start thinking about the content of the next album.
"You've already figured out what's next?" asked Suzu curiously.
"Well, Your Majesty has said that the next album will feature Echo as the main character," Wendy laughed, "What do you think of the title from the extreme south of the wild sand and earth fire, the silver moon princess of the alien race?"
"Good...... That's amazing!" the little girl smacked her lips.
"When Your Majesty recovers the southern border, you can also go to the princess's hometown to see what the vast and boundless desert looks like. ”
"Okay!"
That's her job – to get the witches out there so that everyone can see them for what they really are.
The Witch's Diaries is just one part of it.
The echo has become one with the Star Flower Troupe, and the immersive music has made the actors full of praise.
Evelyn opened a tavern next to the Holy Mountain Inn, which mainly served unique blends of liquor.
I heard that Hummingbird would also join the city hall as a deputy minister of the Ministry of Construction, and it was also the second witch to become a city hall official after the book.
Everyone is working hard to build Neverwinter, but also to make the populace accept the existence of witches and see them as one of their kind.
The day His Majesty promised, Wendy felt that it was within reach.
