Chapter 951: Red and White (I)

After closing the door, Wendy's gaze swept over everyone one by one, and finally landed on Aqima.

"If you have something to say directly," said the latter bluntly, "if you are here for today's recruitment order, then there is no need to persuade us, we will not change our minds." ”

"Aqima......" Doris whispered.

She raised her hand and stopped the other man's words, "I remember your care for us in the past half month, but the two are not the same thingβ€”as I said when I first arrived in Neverwinter, now that the church has fallen, I will leave the Westside sooner or later. ”

"I'd like to have good news first," Wendy's soft expression didn't change in the slightest, "the town hall has received a report that another large number of Eastcasters will arrive in Neverwinter in a week's time, numbering up to twelve thousand. And this time there are likely to be your relatives among them. ”

The living room was boiling over.

"You...... Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course, the shipping department has worked hard to get them back," Wendy said with a smile, "The Chishui River is full of cement boats heading to the east, which are not only filled with dry materials, but also prepared to protect them from the cold, after all, it is already autumn." ”

"I used to live in Gongqiao Town, are there any people from the town among the immigrants?"

"What the hell is going on in Golden Spike City?"

"It's going to be a mess. ”

"Well, I wish my family wasn't there...... My father was the one who kicked me out of the house in the first place. ”

"He's also been bewitched by the church, maybe he's sorry now. ”

Everyone shouted and shouted.

"Don't worry, there are twelve thousand people," Wendy clapped her hands, "and it covers almost most of the towns from Golden Spike City to Seabreeze County, and it's hard to find a single fellow villager." When the book is counted, you can immediately filter out the people related to your identity, even if this batch does not matter, this migration is just the beginning, and more and more people will come to Wudong in the future, as long as you stay here, there will always be a day. ”

Then she looked at the beleaguered witch, "It's okay if you don't want to recognize each other, but I think it's better to have news than nothing, isn't it, White Pear, and at least give them a chance to make amends when they regret it." ”

"That's right...... Also," the girl called White Pear lowered her head a little embarrassed.

"Are you really planning to move the entire Eastern Realm to Neverwinter?" Azima said in surprise.

"It's not just the East," Wendy laughs, "the North, the South, and the Middle Kingdom are also in the planning to relocate, and these realms will eventually only retain a few large cities, and the inhabitants of small towns and villages will gather in the cities. ”

"Why...... Your Majesty is going to such a great deal of effort?"

This is complicated to explain, and it seems to be called...... Urbanization is coming. In the past, because of the food problem, it was necessary to have a large area of arable land to support a city, so the population was very dispersed. But now that food is no longer a problem, and the population of villages and towns, which account for the vast majority of the population, is in an administrative void and cannot be effectively organized and utilized, it is more conducive to bringing them closer to the city and giving full play to the power of the city hall. Wendy patiently replied, "Because of this, the Westlands are no longer the Western Lands in the sense they used to be. If you are gone, what will happen to your companions, and will they leave their relatives behind and wander with you in their deserted homeland?"

"......" Aqima frowned, not answering for a moment.

"To put it bluntly, it's just cowardice. Just then, another cold voice rang out from behind them.

The witches suddenly changed color, and they all turned to look, only to see a woman shrouded in black robes appear on the square table in the living room at some point. She leaned forward slightly, her legs erected, one hand propped up on her chin, and she looked at the crowd with interest, as if she had not paid any attention to their vigilance.

"Who are you?" Aqima whispered.

"Nightingale, what are you talking about?" Wendy said urgently, "rest assured, she has no ill intentions, but is only responsible for secretly protecting my Alliance witches." ”

"Am I wrong?" she pulled off her hood, revealing her beautiful blonde curls, "What are these people hesitating about? It's just that they don't want to work for Tilly anymore because of the Blood Fang Society." But in fact, they still live by the Sleeping Spell and have no intention of changing. ”

"That's nonsense!" Aqima clenched her fists uncontrollably, "If it weren't for Doris, everyone would have left a long time ago!

"Really?" Nightingale raised an eyebrow, "Then why don't you work?"

"What-"

"Let's do the math, the cost of travel and food on the road from Neverwinter to the East is about twenty silver wolves per person. Upon arrival at the destination, ten to twenty copper eagles are needed almost every day to buy food. But don't forget, most of the villages have been turned into wasteland due to war and migration, and the cost of living is dozens of times higher than in the past, which is why refugees are flowing to Wudong. "In other words, without a bag of golden dragons in your hand, it's not easy to get out of the Sleeping Charm." If it were me, I would definitely seize this opportunity to apply for jobs everywhere and try to get as much funding as possible, which is also the basis for the team to survive independently. But look at you, what have you been doing for the past half a month, not to mention enjoying the food distributed by the Sleeping Charm, and still want to wait for Her Highness Tilly to deliver the money to you?"

"I ......" Aqima froze for a moment, she wanted to refute, but she didn't know where to start.

"Let me say, that's cowardice. So, under pressure from the Church, you have fallen to the Bloodfangs, and because of this insignificant relationship, you secretly resented the fall of Hety Morgan, but did not dare to stand up to the transcendent witches. Nightingale shrugged, "I don't really know about the relationship between the Blood Fang Society and the Sleeping Isle, but the members of the Blood Fang Society do, and they're all in Neverwinter right now. Do you think Hetty really thinks you're a sister?"

"Nightingale! is enough!" Wendy stopped.

"If I were to be far away, I would need to enlist the support of the locals, and your ability would be of great help to them, and if you don't destroy the eyes and ears of the church, it will inevitably attract more encirclers. In short, you were just grasshoppers on a rope, and if Hetty was that nice to you, I just want to ask, did she inform you later when she was plotting to overthrow Tilly on Sleepy Island?"

Aqima bit her lip.

"If you really want to prove your mettle, start with the basics now - there are plenty of excuses to be on a desert island, but here, the Sleeping Charm can't hold you back. ”

Nightingale pursed her lips at Wendy nonchalantly before disappearing from the crowd.
