The atmosphere in the castle was particularly serious for the next week, and the heads of several major departments had to meet for half an hour every day to report on each other's situation.

"Why, haven't you found any trace of the devil?" Barov took a sip of his tea and looked around the crowd.

I don't know if Wendy's willingness to take all the responsibilities alleviated the boss's concerns, or if the transfer plan of the second seed of gold is being realized little by little, his expression is much more soothing than in the first few days.

"The sentries of the First Army have pushed the cordon to the border of the steppe, but still find nothing," replied the head of the garrison succinctly, "and further north is a dense and forested wilderness, and it is difficult to further expand the search area without sufficient logistical supplies." ”

"That's the end of the power of mortals, not to mention the devil and evil beasts, even the insects and ants that live there can easily kill you. Elfin seemed unwilling to miss an opportunity to taunt, "Leave this task to us, the Witches of Divine Punishment have advanced to the area of Pearl Lake thirty miles of the Fertile Plains, and have established a small outpost there. 」

"Pearl Lake?" Wendy asked.

"It's the place where the wolf maiden map shows many nests—what used to be a dense spring lake is now a swamp. 」

"You're not in danger, are you?"

"We have a lot more experience dealing with demons than you, a Divine Punishment Witch can deal with three or four mad demons at once, and as long as five people travel together, even if it is a small patrol of demons, they are sure that they will be wiped out. Elf said confidently, "Of course, if the wolf girl is really a small patrol, I am afraid that the enemy's large force will not be far from us. 」

"Won't they go it alone?" Barov curious.

"The need for red mist dooms them to be too far from the supply point," Pasha explained, "after all, the devil can't be as self-sufficient as humans. 」

"So...... It's so far away from Neverwinter, and you can't lift your guard?"

"Unless we set up a sentinel every three or four miles and enclose Neverwinter like a net in the center, there is no guarantee that the enemy will not infiltrate. 」

"Even that doesn't mean much," added another high-ranking witch, Selene, "without the support of the sigils, the moment the search party observed the dinosaur, it was too late to send the news back. 」

Hearing this, Wendy couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the complex environment of the wild land was like an invisible barrier, compressing Neverwinter's sight to the south of the grassland. The entire northwest is like a secret realm shrouded in mist, and all they can do is slowly search for clues of the enemy in this chaos.

Loga's news couldn't have come at a better time.

If it would have been nice if Sylvie, Lightning, Maisie, Nightingale, and others were still there before His Majesty set out on the expedition, even if it were necessary to find out the situation in the whole north, it was estimated that it would only take a day or two to do so.

Her ability is too weak in such a situation.

"You might think I'm nosy, but Mr. Steward, can you tell me how the townsfolk have reacted these days?" Tilly suddenly asked, "Did they feel scared or panicked?"

"Where," Barov hurriedly put down his teacup and bowed to the Five Princesses, "everything in the city is under the control of the City Hall. Recently, our clerks have received a lot of inquiries, but most of the questions are about where the enemy is, and whether the First Quartermaster needs help, etc.—that is, not only do they not feel panicked, but they are more motivated, and even the efficiency of the night shift has improved a lot. Rest assured, absolutely no one has anything to do with the Sleepy Isle Witches. ”

"Really...... That's it. ”

"Of course, it's not that no one has complained, at least the price increases of bird's nose mushrooms and pine cones are real. The boss glanced at Wendy, "If the guard is not lifted soon, the eggs will soon follow in their footsteps." ”

"These can be put aside for now, but I think it's better to advertise the devil earlier, after all, they are completely different from the previous enemies. Tilly worried, "If someone fanned the flames and rehashed the story of the devil's minions, I fear it would be an irreparable blow to the trust between witches and ordinary people." ”

"This ......," Barov hesitated, "I'll have to ask His Majesty Roland." ”

"So put it in today's log," Tilly said as she looked at Wendy.

"I see," the latter nodded, and was about to summarize the contents of each person's report when a series of hurried footsteps entered the conference hall. Before she could see anyone, Ling's voice had already sounded, "Wen, Wendy-sama - wolf girl, she, she's awake!"

"What?" everyone stood up suddenly, and Wendy couldn't wait to say, "I'll go now!"

"Ahem, I'll go check it out too—" Barov was about to follow when he was stopped by Ash.

"That's a girl's bedroom, you'd better wait here for news. ”

......

When Wendy walked into the room, Loga was struggling to get out of bed. Her face was pale, half of her long ears were left, limply hanging on top of her head, and her hair was dull. Just such a small movement made her forehead sweat a fine sweat.

"I didn't expect it...... I'm alive. She gasped and turned to look at the crowd pouring into the room, "How long have I been asleep?"

"It's been the tenth day since the day we found you. Wendy gently pressed her back to the bed, "Don't move, your limbs, bones, and even internal organs have been injured a lot, and ten days is not enough time for them to recover - you can live all thanks to the symbiotic seed of Sunset, and it is better to continue to recuperate until Nanava returns." ”

After learning about the effect of the Symbiotic Seed, Luo Jia bowed her head slightly to Sunset on the other bed, "Thank you......"

"Actually, it's nothing," the latter shrugged his shoulders meaninglessly, "I think it's pretty good to lie here and have a Chaos drink every day." ”

"What have you encountered in the depths of the wilderness?" asked Ash in a deep voice, "and you mentioned the devil many times when you were asleep. ”

"The devil indeed...... And there was more than one," Lorgar closed her eyes, as if recalling the scene, "I was tracking a hybrid beast and was confronted by two lonely demons—either sentinels or just trying to hunt them. "I killed them, but I didn't expect them to be just a drop of water in the devil's army, and more enemies were pouring into the ruins of Tachira in droves, an immeasurable number of them, and there were some incredible behemoths mixed in with them. ”

With the wolf girl's statement, the bedroom gradually became silent.
