Chapter 903: "The Devil Is Coming"
Walking into the town hall, the citizen who called himself Pinesek was brought before the two witches.
He was in his mid-forties, with a typical peasant face, dark skin, thick hands and feet, and dry mud and grass roots on his trouser legs.
"I, I know you......" The other party looked a little nervous, rubbed his wrinkled hands, bowed to the scroll and saluted, "You are the minister, my daughter is literate in the academy you run, she is stupid, please don't dislike her." β
"Don't be nervous," Shujuan smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "I used to be half a farmer before I came hereβbut my fields are unpredictable seas, and the harvest is not as stable as yours." As for knowledge, I don't care about the identity of the learner, as long as the time is long enough, even clumsy people can master it, so your daughter will definitely be able to graduate successfully. β
Hearing this, Pinesek relaxed a lot, and grinned honestly, "I have only switched from farming to grazing in the last two years, because Your Majesty said that the salary will be higher if you are in a new industry. After saying that, he also saluted Wendy, "You must be the administrator of the Witch League, I thought I wouldn't see you today." β
Although not as influential as the scroll in the hearts of ordinary people, as the head appointed by His Majesty, Wendy often appears frequently at various major ceremonies. Coupled with that bright red hair and unforgettable figure, it's not surprising to be recognized, "Just call me Wendy." You said you picked up a woman covered in wounds in the suburbs, why do you think she looks like a witch?"
"Because...... It is impossible for ordinary people to grow parts that only animals have, right?" Spinsek scratched his head, "At first, I thought it was just a blood-stained rag, and I was going to tear it off and throw it away, but I didn't expect it to be connected to the woman!
Animal...... Tail?
Wendy's heart thumped!
She suddenly remembered that a strange witch had indeed come to Neverwinter more than two months ago. Since she had neither joined the League of Witches nor had any in-depth contact with her sisters, all she knew about was from Nightingale's dictation. One of them has been repeated repeatedly, and that is that she has an inhuman appearance, with wolf-like ears and a long tail, which is obviously very weird, but she is praised by His Majesty for being very beautiful.
The witch's name was Loga, a tribal princess from the far south.
Could it be that Pinesek found her!
"Where is she?" Wendy asked eagerly, "take us to her!"
......
Instead of bringing the wounded home, the farmer placed them in a makeshift shelter in the pastoral area.
Wendy's heart sank when she saw the wolf girl lying motionless on the bench, her clothes stained red with blood.
Judging from the other party's mutilated ears, she should be Luo Jia, yes, but ...... What happened to make her what she is now?
It was not an exaggeration to say that she was covered in blood - it could be seen that her injuries were not a matter of a day or two, some of the blood had dried up and turned dark brown, while others were still wet and apparently still slowly leaching. From head to toe, there were tight bandages everywhere, and although the wound could not be directly observed, anyone who saw this scene would understand how badly she was injured.
"My lord, this is a witch...... Right?" asked Spinsek.
Wendy was a little stunned for a moment, didn't answer, and answered him with the scroll, "That's right, she's a witch, and you're doing a good job." β
"Well, didn't Your Majesty announce in the proclamation that you should report the discovery of a witch to the city hall immediately. Pinesek breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly became worried, "This girl...... Can it still be saved?"
This sentence seemed to wake Wendy, and she said in a deep voice, "I don't know, but we will definitely do our best-Scroll, please help me take care of her, and I will go to find Her Highness Tilly!"
"Well, leave it to me. β
Now that Nanava and Lily are not in the city, Ye Zi's herbs can deal with minor injuries, and serious injuries like Loja's are basically the same as a death sentence, but it is only a matter of time.
Luckily for her, the first migrants from the Isle of Sleep had arrived in Neverwinter - if it was that person, there might be a way to save her life!
Thinking of this, Wendy ran faster.
She had to seize every breath she had.
Although the other party is not a member of the League of Witches, since they have come to Neverwinter, it is the guidance of the gods. Under this guidance, Loga has formed some kind of connection with them.
She didn't want to lose any more sisters.
......
Three days later, Wendy walked into the bedroom with a basin of hot water, and the strong smell of medicine suddenly came to her nose.
"How is she?"
"She is still alive," Ash shook her head, "her injuries have far exceeded the limit of her self-healing, and it was a fluke to be able to make it back to Neverwinter, and if she were a witch with a good will, she would have died in the wilderness." β
As the most experienced person in the emergency management of injuries, Ash took over the care of the aftermath as a matter of course, and the full body examination after peeling off the bloody clothes was also shocking, under the bandages were full of skin and flesh scars, some of which were boneless, and it took most of the day to clean these wounds.
"But you don't have to worry too much," she said, gesturing to Sunset on the other bed, "don't you notice that she looks much better than she did yesterday?"
"Yes?" said Sunset, "why don't I feel any better?"
"Steamed chicken, fried eggs, salt-baked bird's snout mushrooms, and a bottle of chaos drink in the evening," Ash pouted, "How's it going, how do you feel now?"
The latter swallowed, "Hmm...... It does seem to be getting better. β
"Look. β
Wendy breathed a sigh of relief, and Sunset nodded, "I've worked hard for you these past few days. β
"It's just a gesture," she smiled reluctantly, "after all, you've helped Ife, and you've helped us." Just don't let her dieβor I'll ......"
"Don't worry, it won't. β
The first person that came to Wendy's mind was Sunset, a witch who originally belonged to the Bloodfang Society, who possessed an uncanny ability to live with others through the seed of magic. When the seed is planted, the two living beings form a wonderful bond that not only equalizes the pain, but also produces their own healing effects. In addition, half of Sunset's replenishment will also be provided to the symbiotics, which is the most powerful guarantee for saving the dying.
Roland had been in a coma for months after the Battle of the Divine Will, and it was Sunset's abilities that kept him alive without food or water.
Of course, Sunset was not alone in the rescue.
At the behest of Tilly, a witch named Pandora intervened to stop the werewn's internal and external bleeding, greatly reducing the pressure on both sides of the symbiosis, and the former was also the main healer of the Sleeping Isle and played an important role in the rebellion against the Blood Fangs. The herbs of the leaves protect the wound better from further deterioration. In addition, the purified water, which was refrigerated in the castle's basement with ice cubes for emergencies, also played a key role in keeping Loga free from the disease.
Everyone has done their best.
Whether the wolf girl survives in the end depends on her own perseverance - the animal messenger to the north has been released three days ago, and the days of waiting for a reply will be the hardest.
Just as Wendy was about to wipe the other party's body, Luo Jia's fingers suddenly moved.
She was stunned for a moment, thinking it was an illusion, but then she was surprised to find that the wolf girl opened her mouth slightly.
β......β
She seemed to want to say something, but her voice was so soft that it was almost indecipherable.
Wendy held back her excited heartbeat and leaned down to put her ear to her mouth.
This time, she heard the other person's murmuring.
"The Devil ......"
She repeated.
"The devil is coming. β2510
