"What's going on over there?" Margaery suddenly showed a look of surprise as she spoke, "Joan...... What is she doing?"

Roland also noticed a small commotion on the side of the hall, and saw that the businesswoman's witch friend had left the corner and walked slowly towards Lightning and the others accompanied by the maid.

Maisie, on the other hand, went back and forth between the two, as if she was passing on some news.

At first, Joan was very nervous, and almost only stayed behind the maid, only when the pigeon approached, did he lean out half of his body. But when the two sides came into contact, the situation quickly changed.

Not only did she talk to the witches, but she even reached out her hands and carefully touched Loga's ears and tail.

"I see," Roland couldn't help laughing, "it's lightning." ”

"This ...... It's incredible," Margaery said, covering her mouth, "do you know how long it took us to get Joan out of the water? two months—with the help of Lady Camilla. ”

"How the hell did she do it?" Thunder was surprised.

"She didn't have to do anything, just take Maisie and Loga with her. Roland laughed, "Joan's defense comes from people's rejection of the other, but when there are strangers all around, this defense naturally does not need to be maintained anymore - whether it is a pigeon or a wolf girl, I think in her eyes I am afraid that they are all the same kind in her eyes." ”

"Same ...... Class?" Margaery repeated.

"Well, Maisie, it's not the first time you've seen her, and Loga is more similar to Joan," Roland explained the bestiality of the three princesses of Flame, "Anyway, you don't have to worry about whether she will be able to blend in with everyone in the next few months." ”

"The witch named Loga...... Haven't you ever been ostracized by others?"

"If not, she wouldn't be in Neverwinter - even in the extreme south, where witches are considered clan goddesses, the apparently unusual appearance of ordinary people would still be considered an ominous sign. Roland shook his head, "Of course, this kind of resistance exists in Neverwinter to some extent, but it's not so obvious. As for the League of Witches, it is not at all exclusive, everyone is a survivor who has come up from the bottom, and they know the nature of ability best, and it is too late for them to welcome the arrival of new sisters. ”

"The unknown is the greatest fear. "Originally, I wanted to be an explorer just to make a fortune, but now I just want to take a few more steps in my lifetime—there are so many puzzles to solve in this world, and if you don't go out, you will always be confined to a small piece of land, bound by fear all your life." ”

"That's why I've decided to support you," Roland said, raising his glass to him, "There's an old saying in our country: man always becomes as big as his thoughts, and if you think so, you're destined to be remembered by history." ”

"Thank you for your compliment," Thunder smiled with a clinking glass, "I will definitely do my best on this trip and will live up to your expectations." ”

Margaery stared at Joan for a long time, as if thinking about something, and after a long while, she turned back and stroked Roland's chest and said, "Your Majesty, I have a reluctant request. ”

"You say. ”

"By the time this expedition was over, I had wanted Joan to return to the fjord and settle in her birthplace. She whispered, "Life in the sea is too lonely, and I don't want her to live alone anymore." But now I have changed my mind...... "Margaret paused, "Your Majesty, can I entrust her to you?"

"What do you mean - leave her in Neverwinter?"

"If it were the environment of the fjord, Joan would probably only be able to move around a small area and talk to a very small number of people. And with you, she'll at least be able to make real companions. The businesswoman nodded, "After all, I brought her away from the familiar sea, and I can't fail her trust—now I don't think there's a better place to be with you." ”

"Of course," Roland smiled slightly, "That's why the League of Witches was set up for that. ”

"I'm relieved to have your words," Margaery said, saluting with relief.

Lily yawned back to her bedroom, hung her wet towel on the hanger, and was about to flip through the biology book for a while before going to sleep, when the whispers of Mystic Moon came from behind her.

"Lost...... Lost...... Lost ......"

She rolled her eyes, pretended not to hear, and opened the page indifferently.

Sure enough, the other party's voice immediately became much louder.

"The detective group lost...... The detective group lost...... The detective group lost ......"

"You're not done yet!" Lily suddenly felt the bruises on her forehead jump, and turned around suddenly, "Sleep honestly, okay!"

"But we lost," Mizuki hugged the pillow with a reluctant expression, "Don't you feel heartache? Looking at the way they communicated, it didn't seem like they could understand each other's words at all, how did they do this? Could it be that they knew each other before? Now the number of people in the expedition group is exactly the same as that of the detective group, and the title of the first group is also ......."

What does it mean to fall short, obviously the other party has not yet contributed, you have already lost, "Why should I be heartbroken? Who is with you is us!" Lily interrupted, "I repeat, the detective team only had three people at the beginning, and now that the challenge has been lost, the number of people is still less than that of the other party, it is a complete defeat at all, you better disband it early!"

She snorted, turned her gaze back to the book, and decided that no matter how much the other person interfered, she would never bother.

But unexpectedly, Miyue did not continue to entangle, and there was silence behind her for a while.

It's not right.

She was faintly uneasy in her heart, did she say too much? Although this guy was a little annoying, but the starting point was good, if it wasn't for such a trouble, Joan didn't know how long it would take to get together with everyone. Apart from eavesdropping on His Majesty's conversation, it was a big mistake, and nothing else was done...... Maybe you're too harsh?

Instantly, a heavier thought leaped into her mind.

This guy Mystic Moon is different from her, she used to be extremely restrained, and because of her ability, she was scolded by Hakela along the way, and she was like a transparent person in the Mutual Aid Society. Now that the other party has finally become cheerful and lively, will she become depressed again because of her blame?

Thinking of this, Lily suddenly regretted it.

She swallowed and turned slowly, the words of apology already on her lips.

However, what caught her eye was a ten-dollar scroll.

I saw that the other party touched her back at some point, and raised his hands flat, respectfully pinched the banknote and handed it to her.

"Y-what are you doing?" said Lily.

"Please don't leave the detective group, I'm willing to exchange a bottle of chaos drink for it!" said Myyue with a sad face, "If even you leave, then the detective group will never have a chance to turn over!"

It's said that I'm not, it's okay to listen to people - Lily helplessly held her forehead, and felt a little relieved in her heart, fortunately, this guy was not as fragile as she imagined after releasing his nature.

After being silent for a long time, she reached out and took the other party's ten-yuan scroll.

"You agreed?" Mizuki was overjoyed.

"No," Lily tapped on the table, "I have a lot of work to do, and I don't have time to fool around with you." But I can give you a hint, and this note is the reward. In the future, if it doesn't take up my working time, I can also help your detective team come up with some ideas, at least much better than trying to win over strange witches. ”

"What's the hint?"

"You shouldn't come to me if you want to grow your team - not everyone in the League of Witches is as busy as Zoroa, so you should aim for the idlers. Lily held back the guilt in her heart and secretly apologized, "Think about it, who else accompanied you to the academy last time to look for clues to the arson?"

"Hmm...... You mean looking for Evelyn? She can't, she doesn't have much time to use her abilities, but there's still a tavern to take care of. ”

"Not her. ”

"Uh...... You mean, Amy?" Mysa looked hesitant, "but she's not from Greycastle, and she has her own companions......

"Wouldn't that be better, and to bring her into the detective group is to bring the Wolfheart Witch together," Lily said, snapping her fingers, "Hero and Broken Sword aren't too busy except for Annie, and the latter has a regular cooperation with you...... As for where they come from, Joan or the Fiordland Witch, why don't you have any concern?"

"I—I know!"

"In addition, those battle witches who originally belonged to the Blood Fang Society can also be considered, they are usually very idle anyway, as long as you ask, I don't think they will refuse. In this way, there are several more people than the expedition group, at least not inferior to the other party in terms of scale. But there are two things to remember, one is that you must not cause trouble to your majesty, and the other is not to challenge the expedition at will," Lily advised, "I don't know why, I always feel that you can't win against the other party." ”

"Because you're biased. Mizuki pouted.

Anyway, that's all I have to say, go to bed, and don't bother me again. She waved.

"Oh......" Mizuki just took a step and turned back again.

"What's wrong?" Lily found that after going through the previous ups and downs, she even had a lot more patience.

It's better to just be in case than to regret something wrong.

"My ten-dollar scroll is the ...... for recruiting you," Miyue hesitated, "Since you don't join the detective group, can you give it back to me?"

In an instant, Lily heard the glassy cracking sound in her heart.

"No-door!you-give-me-go-go!"
