Roland's eyes widened, "With the dead one—"

"No," interrupted the other, "like the devil's blood, it must be alive." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

He heard the nightingale behind him gasp.

"This is the top secret of the Exploration Society, and not long after the experiment began, I left the Stone Tower of the Holy City, and the only thing I knew was that they used the blood of an old and weak witch, mixed it with the Divine Punishment Stone, and injected it into the mortal's body, thus causing the mortal's body to change. Agatha's voice was a little heavy, "Judging by the notebook you found, this research should have been a success. ”

"To ...... How much blood?"

"More than half," the witch's answer made Roland's heart sink, "and the blood must come from the same person, otherwise the magic contained in it will conflict with each other, making the potency greatly reduced." She paused, "You guessed it, for every experiment, a witch dies, and it's hard for mortals to survive the erosion of the blood of their weakened power. In the beginning, no one survived, and many members objected to this, arguing that it was impossible for mortals to obtain magical powers. If it weren't for Chief Akaris' insistence, this plan might not have been carried out to the end. ”

"But now the church has a large army of divine punishment...... According to Tilly's intelligence, the number of Divine Punishment Warriors may be around five hundred to a thousand. Roland frowned.

"Assuming that the success on the note is to increase the conversion rate to 10%, it means that at least half of the witches are killed, and I don't think the gang can make up that many elderly witches. ”

So the Church captures witches and raises them in order to drain their blood and use it to make powerful transcendent warriors?Roland felt that the hand on his shoulder involuntarily clenched, damn it, hundreds of witches with all kinds of strange powers died worthless in the holy city of Hermes, and they had to bear the name of the fallen and be spurned by the world - such a foolish organization must be destroyed, even if their original intention was to fight against the devil.

"Don't worry, I'll stop them," Roland said word for word.

After Agatha left, the nightingale broke out of the fog and appeared in front of him, gritting her teeth and saying, "I didn't expect the Divine Punishment Army to come like this! If the church is really transformed from the Federation, then their chief must be a madman!"

"Indeed," he sighed, "it makes sense for the Church to adopt orphaned women and abandoned babies everywhere, and they are merely gathering materials for the manufacturing army." Perhaps the stigmatization of witches as devil's minions was part of the plan - to justify the disposal of witches. ”

"......" Nightingale didn't answer, but her face was already full of anger.

Roland grabbed her hand with a little concern, "You don't plan to ......"

"Trouble with the church alone?" she shook her head, "I wouldn't be so stupid, if they could really be overthrown by a witch, someone would have done it a long time ago." ”

The prince breathed a sigh of relief, "The ultimate purpose of the Church in creating the Divine Punishment Army is to increase its own strength, so if there are witches with extraordinary abilities, they will definitely not be consumed in blood supply...... In the face of these witches who are loyal to the Church, even escaping into the fog does not guarantee safety. It is safe to wait until the war with the Church and advance step by step with the fire of the First Army, no matter what the enemy is, there is no difference in the face of bullets. He paused, "I said that in the new world in the future, witches will live a normal life without barriers, just like ordinary people. ”

"Well," Nightingale replied with a low voice, placing her forehead on Roland's head, "I'm sure you can do it all." ”

After Wendy returns the blank paper to the Witch's Tower, she returns to the Lord's Castle contentedly.

Recently, she feels that her life has been very fulfilling, although her previous life was quite comfortable, but she always felt that something was missing, and now there is a little girl who is exceptionally well-behaved and full of admiration for herself, and there is nothing more happy than this.

Now that winter has arrived, as the time of the year when witches are most likely to awaken, the next few months may see more new people join the Witches family, and more and more children will need to be taken care of by her.

Wendy hummed a tune she had heard from Her Highness and pushed open the bedroom door, stunned by the scene in front of her.

Oh my God, what did you see? Nightingale actually sat at his desk and looked through the book "Foundations of Natural Science"!

Did she quarrel with His Highness Roland?

"Ahem," Wendy coughed twice, "I'm back." ”

The other man nodded, but did not answer. From the side, her expression was very low, as if she had written her discomfort on her face.

It seems that this is the case.

Wendy stepped forward, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her softly, "Feelings are like this, sometimes there are always arguments, in fact, in retrospect, it's nothing, just sleep." ”

"What are you talking about?" said Nightingale with a frown.

"You and Your Highness...... Quarrels are only temporary, and you don't have to take them personally. ”

"Why should I quarrel with him?" she said.

"Uh...... Isn't it?" Wendy was stunned, "Then why did you suddenly think of studying?"

Nightingale sighed and recounted the Divine Punishers experiment revealed by Agatha, "I just feel like I need to be a little stronger to do more in the battle to overthrow the Church in the future. ”

"So that's what happened. Wendy nodded solemnly after hearing this, "I didn't expect them to build the monastery for the blood of witches...... If it weren't for the sudden awakening of Ash into a transcendent and drawing the eyes of the guards, I would have been one of the corpses. ”

Nightingale was right, perhaps the castle environment was too comfortable for him to relax completely. She suddenly realized that the enemy was still close at hand, whether it was the church or the devil, the threat had not completely disappeared, and she had not made progress for a long time. Although the magic is slowly growing, the combat skills and wind-making ability are not much different from those of the Mutual Aid Society, let alone evolution.

Compared to those sisters who study hard, such as Mystery Moon, Hummingbird, and Echo, he seems to be too lazy. It's obviously an older senior, but the divine will rune can't even light up two magic stones, so I'm afraid that I won't be qualified to stand in front of them as a senior.

"You're right, I'll have to work hard. Wendy took a deep breath, and she decided to spend an hour every night every night like the other witches before going to bed, just like the other witches.

After a quick wash in the bathroom, she returned to her room to find the nightingale lying on her desk, asleep.
