Chapter 589: A Storm in the Fjord
A storm is brewing in the waters east of the Fiordland Islands. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The gray clouds were pressed very low, and from time to time electric light passed through the clouds, and the dull thunder seemed to come from a long distance, like the angry roar of the gods.
Herty Morgan's mood is the same as this bad weather.
It's been more than two months since Ifei and Yuyu were sent, and there is still no news to this day, which really doesn't make sense.
If the two places are far away, it is difficult to transmit the message, but as far as she knows, Honey is also in the western border of Grey Keep, and she only needs to threaten the little guy with a few words and grab an animal messenger to come over.
Could it be that something happened to the lord's territory?
Hetty closed the window irritably, keeping out the howling sea breeze.
Recently, the situation on the Sleeping Island has become more and more unfavorable for her, since Tilly opened the "Sleeping Charm", the non-combat witches have sided with her side, and it turns out that the need for auxiliary witches by the fjords is indeed far greater than that of battle witches, after all, there are not many foreign enemies in this place, and the chamber of commerce employs witches mainly for business or to open up waterways.
As a result, the status of this group of powerless guys has been rising, and there is a faint tendency to compete with the battle witches.
And then there are mortals.
Damn, she didn't think of this in the first place, Hetty thought hatefully, there were only two factions on the island, and as long as she kept speaking on behalf of the Battle Witch, she wouldn't be too much weaker than Tilly. But now that more and more ordinary islanders have migrated here, the forces have gradually become three factions, and the latter is influenced by the Chamber of Commerce and almost exclusively recognizes Tilly, which can be seen from the fact that she has to leave the island every three or five times - especially after gaining the support of Thunder, she has become a VIP on other islands.
As soon as she thought of this, a nameless fire would spring up in her heart, what to build a good relationship with ordinary people and promote integration, this is simply a trick to strengthen her own power!
Tilly fooled everyone!
She is selling the home that belongs only to witches to those ordinary people little by little!
Under such circumstances, he will never be able to replace Tilly Wimbleton.
It's the first time that Hetty has taken a twenty-year-old yellow-haired girl and has nothing to do, and her desire to win the battle witch away from the Sleeping Island is getting stronger and stronger. Just as she was about to go to Camilla, the great butler of the Sleeping Island, to ask about the situation and see when she could let the Pretty Woman make another trip to the West, the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Oh no, my lord!" Skyflame said as he rushed in, looking anxious.
"What's going on?"
As her right-hand man who had followed her for the longest time, Skyflame rarely showed such a panicked look, which made Hetty feel a little strange.
"There's a new witch on Sleepy Island, and I've heard her name be Annie!"
"So what?" said Hetty, puzzled. Ever since the merchants spread the news of Sleepy Island, wandering wild witches have occasionally come to their door, which is not uncommon.
"She's from the heart of a wolf!" Skyflame said in a low voice, "I've seen her before!"
A sudden thunderclap sounded in the sky!
Hetty's heart couldn't help but tremble, and he quickly realized what the other party meant by "not good", "You mean...... Is she a loser rejected by the Bloodfangs? This can't be! Could it just be the same name?"
"I thought so at first, so I hid in the crowd and took a sneak peek, although she was carried out of the palace, but her appearance was indeed very similar to Anne a few years ago!"
"Are you sure?"
"My lord, I'm not sure about the other witches, but Anne is different...... Back then, she also brought a companion, who is now Ife. Skyflame gritted her teeth and said, "For this, Ifei cried all the way and yelled to go back, so I made a note of her appearance." β
"How could this happen, shouldn't they all be ......" Hetty grabbed Skyflame by the collar, "You let her go?"
"No, my lord, I did what you told me to do!" she argued, "trust me, I will never betray you!"
Hetty stared into her eyes for a moment before slowly letting go of her hand, "You just said that she was carried into the palace, what happened?"
"She seems to have contracted the cold plague, and she's not very sick," Skyflame breathed a sigh of relief, "There's already someone over there asking for Della." β
Della's power can cut through pain and restore calm, but it can't cure the plague. Hetty walked back and forth in the house for a moment, "Tilly isn't on the island, is she?"
"Yes, she went to Ssangyong Island two days ago, and it seems that she is busy with sea exploration. β
Hetty stopped, "Go and call Sunset over, and by the way, let Shaki inquire about the situation, she hasn't seen Anne, and she's not afraid of being recognized by the other party." β
"Yes. β
......
The sky was raining heavily, and the sound of rain slamming against the window panels rattled as Hetty sat at the table without saying a word, while Skyflame and Sunset stood quietly waiting for her next order, and the atmosphere in the house was dreary for a moment.
Hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the house.
The door opened and closed, and the returning Shaki leaned against the door, took off her soaked raincoat and straw hat, and let out a long breath, "The witch named Anne is already asleep, but Della said that her condition is not ideal, the cold plague has injured her lungs, and the onset should not be a matter of a day or two." β
"Yes," Hetty's voice was terrible, "what is Camilla going to do?"
She said that there was a witch in the west of the Grey Keep who could cure any disease, and when the rainstorm subsided, she would send Anne to the west. β
Hetty was so angry that she wanted to laugh, hiring One-Eyed Jack to make a trip to the fjord was nearly a hundred golden dragons, and Camilla always prevaricated when she asked to go to Grey Keep or other islands, and now she sent Pretty Lady for a useless strange witch?
And if she allows the other party to go to the West, once she joins up with Yifei, all the things she has done will be exposed, which she absolutely cannot tolerate.
Either way, Anne had to be left on the island.
Hetty suppressed her anger and looked at Sunset, "You should be able to put her to sleep completely, right?"
"You mean...... Use the seed of rest?" the latter was stunned, "yes, but why would youβ"
"Because she's a traitor to the Blood Fangs!" Hetty interrupted impatiently, "You don't need to know anything specific, just know that her sins are unforgivable." β
"She's a battle witch too?" Sunset wondered, "Why don't you wait for Tilly to come back before making a decision?" β
"The traitors of the Bloodfangs will naturally have to be dealt with by the Bloodfangs," Hetty narrowed her eyes slightly, "and put her in the hands of Tilly, and that naΓ―ve little girl will punish her more?"
"Of course not...... Your Excellency," Sunset shuddered, "I'm willing to deal with this traitor for you." β
