Chapter 467: The Irreplaceable
When the illusion vanished, the hall fell into an eerie silence. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After a long time, Shujuan sighed, "No wonder your second sister was frightened to the ground, such a scene is indeed a bit ...... Horrifying. ”
"The ability to generate group illusions is rare, but it's not without ......," Agatha said slowly, "I knew from the Federation that there were at least two people with similar abilities, and one of them was a high-ranking witch in Falling Star City. ”
"How many times a day can you use this ability?" Wendy asked, "Can you control the exact time when the illusion manifests?" "According to His Highness's habit, the next step should be to test all aspects of the ability to understand its characteristics, consumption, and use.
"Probably...... Two or three times," Asha replied in a low voice, "What's the time slot?, do you mean how long ago you can see?" Seeing the former nod, she touched her head embarrassedly, "I haven't tried either, but the further you go, the more laborious it seems to be......"
Wendy couldn't help but laugh out loud, "That's not labor, it's that you're consuming the magic in your body." ”
"Magic?"
"You should be able to feel it, like water flowing in your body, like a swirling mist, and you need to use it every time you use your abilities," Shujuan explained, "There are many more properties of magic, and we will teach you about it later." ”
"Hmm," Asha nodded slightly.
Wendy then asked her to perform another illusion with all her might, this time showing that the result was almost a day and a half ago, and the hall could be seen lit up and the sisters of the League of Witches sitting at a long table enjoying dinner. After that, Axia's magic was completely exhausted, and the girl hung her arms panting, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Wendy recorded the results of the two tests in a notebook one by one, as for the use...... She couldn't think of it for a while, after all, illusions could only show what happened in the past, not predict the future, and maybe she could only make a judgment when His Highness Roland returned. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, His Highness had revealed to her that he intended to make the League of Witches a self-functioning organization, with her as the presiding officer. However, she did not have the well-informed experience of His Highness, and she could not consider the application of sisters' abilities as well as his.
Gathering her mind, Wendy was about to encourage her when the scroll gestured to her.
The two stepped aside, and she whispered, "What's wrong?"
"Are you going to tell Asha that if you don't want to go home, it's okay to stay here?" Shujuan frowned, "You forgot the review you had to do before joining the Witch Alliance?"
Wendy knew, of course, that an alien witch would have to answer ten generic questions about identity and origin with Nightingale's polygraph abilities before she could be considered of her kind, "but it's unlikely that Asha would be a fake...... Her ID card was made by Soloya, and her origin can be matched. What's more, she has just awakened, and she is still a non-combat witch, even if it is a church, it is impossible to predict this situation. ”
"It's not just magic that can hurt people, a dagger, a pack of poison can have the same effect, if not better. ”
"No, how could she-"
"But you can't deny the possibility," interrupted the book, "the check-in review is the responsibility of the town hall, and not every family member is checked, so the sudden awakening is the best opportunity to infiltrate the castle......" she paused. Of course, I know that such a possibility is very small, but don't forget, His Highness Roland is the last person we can afford to lose, and besides, there is still Her Highness Tilly living in the Witch Building, and if something happens to her, the sisters of the Sleeping Island will only be afraid that they will completely break with the border town, and everything Your Highness has done will be in vain, and we cannot afford such a price. ”
"......" Wendy fell silent, she knew that the book's worries were not unreasonable, and they were not aimed at Asha personally, but she was still a little difficult to accept. The contrast between Asha, the first witch to awaken in a small town after Roland became lord, is to be guarded against as a potential enemy. It was a long time before she spoke, "I know, I'll send her back." ”
"I'll send her with you," Shujuan sighed.
......
After leaving the castle, the girl suddenly became much more lively, and began to take Wendy's hand and ask more about witches and lords.
"What's the matter," Wendy asked casually, satisfying her curiosity, "you seem happy not to live in the castle?"
"Uh......" Ah Xia choked, and then lowered his head embarrassedly, "I heard that the lord, that is, His Royal Highness the Prince, is a very terrible person, and he has to toss the women around him many times every day. ”
"Poof," Wendy nearly choked on saliva, "where did you hear that?"
"Isn't he the fourth prince of Grey Castle? I've heard it many times in Eagle City, and there are still songs and rumors singing there, the second prince is sinister and despicable, the fourth prince is greedy and lustful, and only the three princesses of the blue water harbor are really good kings. Asha said in a low voice.
"I see," said the scroll with interest, "......that's probably Garcia's way of preaching, and it's quite unique." ”
He ...... Isn't that the kind of person?"
"When, of course not," said Wendy, blushing, "and you'll know later that he's the witch's most trusted lord!"
When they came to the community where Axia's family lived, the three of them walked up to a two-story bungalow and knocked on the door of her house.
It was Axia's mother who opened the door.
"Mom, I'm back. Asha shouted happily.
"Why are you ......" she was stunned, looking at the two behind her daughter, looking a little flustered, "Did she do something wrong?
"Your Highness hasn't come back yet, so—"
"She can stay in the castle and wait for His Highness to return," said the woman eagerly, "Asha is very well-behaved, and although she is a little muna, she is willing to do anything." ”
"This lady, the Witch League is not what you think-" Wendy felt a fire rise in her heart, and she was stopped by the book just halfway through.
The latter took out a golden dragon from his waist pocket and shook it in front of the other party, "Your daughter is indeed a witch, and when His Royal Highness the prince returns, he can sign a contract." This is the first month's honorarium, and it's done. ”
"Yes, yes," the woman's attention immediately shifted to the golden coin, "Thank you, sir!"
"Remember, you're taking care of her on behalf of Her Highness now, understand?"
"Yes, my lord, I will take good care of Asha. ”
......
Leaving the community, Wendy couldn't hold back the annoyance in her heart anymore, "Why do you want to give the honorarium to that kind of person? Even if it is paid in advance, it is the reward that Asha deserves." ”
"Can Asha keep that golden dragon?" Wendy couldn't help but be stunned by the scroll's answer, "If she can't keep it, sooner or later it will fall into the hands of her family, and if she can, it's even worse, I'm afraid those people will completely treat her as an outsider." On the contrary, if she handed it directly to her mother, Asha not only had no burden, but perhaps also helped to improve her status in the family. There is still a long time to come, and if this golden dragon can be exchanged for a more comfortable living environment, it will not be a good deal. ”
"......," she thought for a moment, before she spoke, "you're right, it's that I'm thinking too simply. ”
Wendy's successive defeats left her depressed, and she felt a little sad that perhaps she was not the right person to lead the Witch Alliance.
"But no one cares about them more than you do," Shujuan said with a smile as if reading through her thoughts, "and it was only after experiencing the Mutual Aid led by Hakra that I understood...... A person who cares deeply about witches, regardless of their abilities, and who is willing to put himself in the shoes of many sisters is the most trustworthy leader. And that's where you can't be replaced. (To be continued.) )
