Chapter 1265 The Life of a Witch

"Do you think he will agree?"

After the sound of Thunder's footsteps faded away, Roland asked Nightingale.

"I don't know," Nightingale replied slowly, "but he meant his last words."

Roland nodded and stopped answering. In addition to Lightning's factors that allowed Lei Lei to stay, he also had his own selfish motives. As a well-known explorer of the fjords, whether it was to attract fjord people to join him or to serve as the core of the fleet, the other party was the most ideal candidate.

Especially the latter - according to Agatha's inference, the red mist should have covered more than half of Eternal Winter by now. By the time the First Army is in place, even the Wolf Heart Border may not be spared. In such a situation, rescue or flank strikes along the coastline will be essential. From the case of the retreat of the Far North Port, we can see how much pressure a support fleet with powerful firepower can reduce the pressure on ground forces.

Nowadays, the merchant ships coming and going seem to be in an orderly manner, but it is basically impossible for them to enter the red mist area to fight the devil. It is not difficult for Neverwinter City to cobble together a few large ships. What is lacking is well-trained sailors and people who can coordinate Fleet characters.

If the Thunder are willing to stay, these problems can undoubtedly be solved.

But Roland also knew that he couldn't force this kind of thing, he could only wait for the other party to think about it slowly.

When he picked up his pen and was about to continue his previous work, a phone suddenly rang.

Judging from the line, the caller came from the Witch Building inside the castle area.

"Hello?"

"Your Majesty, this is Wendy," a familiar voice came from the other side of the receiver, "Report from the Shoal Port checkpoint, they found a witch."

…

"Excuse me...sir, where are you taking us?"

Dai Lan took Momo's hand and asked cautiously.

Not long ago, like other migrants, they were moving along a long line towards the checkpoint. However, after entering the identity registration area, they were invited out of the line alone by the man in black and entered a seemingly transparent room. , but a tightly guarded small room.

This made the two people feel tense immediately.

She has heard that when inspecting refugees, some cities will select some people for special "interrogation". If no corresponding benefits are obtained, they will suffer a lot.

But the other party did nothing. He just left them hanging in the room for a while, then asked some weird questions, then released them, and was led by another man in black towards the inner city.

"Don't be so polite, just call me Joseph," the man in black said in an easy-going tone, "You are witches, right?"

Dai Lan couldn't help but be surprised. She didn't expect that the other party would point out her identity so straightforwardly. What's even more surprising is how did they identify that she had magic power? She thought she had disguised herself well enough.

"Why...why do you say that?"

"I don't know anything about magic. The witches told me that." Joseph said, rubbing the back of his head. "I heard that they can sense the existence of magic through a special stone. As for where to take you, of course. The residence of witches - you must be exhausted along the way, don't worry, Lady Wendy will take good care of you."

Dai Lan and Momo looked at each other, and both saw the surprise in their eyes.

One is that Neverwinter actually has the means to identify witches. If the church and those wolf-hearted nobles could do this, they might not be alive now.

Second, judging from the other party's tone, it seems that witches are cooperating with ordinary people without any barriers?

Regarding this city located at the western end of Graycastle and its ruler Roland Wimbledon, it was not that the two of them had never heard their master mention it. During the wandering process before boarding the ship, they had heard various discussions and rumors many times. It’s just that the contents of the two are very different. One described the King of Graycastle as a cruel and arrogant person, and the so-called recruitment of witches was just to satisfy his evil desires; while the other affirmed the achievements of the new Graycastle and believed that The witches who arrived there already lived a life no different from ordinary people.

It can be said that it was the second type of rumors that made them decide to move south.

But after all, the two places are thousands of miles apart, and no one knows what the real situation will be. Therefore, the two of them planned to hide their identities for a while and wait until they can find out the truth before making next plans. Unexpectedly, they had just arrived in Neverwinter, and the truth was exposed. .

Fortunately, people here really don't seem to regard witches as aliens anymore.

When they arrived at the outskirts of the castle area, a red-haired woman came over with two little girls smiling.

"Leave it to me next."

"Yes, Lady Wendy!" Joseph saluted, waved to the two of them, and quickly turned around and left.

Dai Lan also quietly took a look at the woman named Wendy.

"My name is Wendy, the person in charge of the Witches Union of Neverwinter. These two are my assistants, Ling and Gray Rabbit." The other party smiled, "Can you tell me your names? Although the roster says Dai Lan and Momo, but I would rather hear it from your own mouth."

She suddenly felt like a spring breeze. It had been a long time since anyone had spoken to her in such a gentle tone. The other party is more like a noble than those so-called nobles. Not only is his appearance mature and elegant, his clothes are elegant and elegant, but his temperament is also different. He is just like a character walking out of a painting.

"I'm Dai Lan." She whispered.

"Momo," the partner said his name.

"They are all good names." Wendy held their hands and said, "Welcome to Neverwinter City. From today on, this will be your new home. Come, I will take you to get familiar with what you are going to live in in the future. place."

It wasn't until he passed through the wall and courtyard that Dai Lan discovered that the Lord's Castle was not the tallest building here. Behind it, there was a seemingly larger building. The two are separated by a spacious garden and lawn, and several outstanding-looking women are chatting together, with relaxed and comfortable expressions on their faces.

Probably, your dream life is also like this, right?

"Are they...also witches?" Momo couldn't help but ask.

"That's right," Wendy nodded, "If it's off-duty time, you'll see more."

"Uh...off duty?"

"It means the work is over." Ling explained, "In Neverwinter, witches, like everyone else, have their own work to do every day."

"Then they..."

The little girl pouted, "There are always hardworking people and lazy people. This is just like ordinary people."

"Didn't your sister tell you that my ears are very good?" A woman with pointed ears looked here first, and then walked over with a smile on her lips.

"Ah...Sister Luojia, I'm not talking about you," Ling waved her hands quickly, "I mean-"

"Hey, has a new member joined the alliance?" Another person quickly followed, "Hello, my name is Mysterious Moon, and I am the leader of the Neverwinter Detective Team! No matter what abilities you have, you can all become detectives. How about being a member of the group, are you interested?"

"——Referring to this person." Ling covered her face weakly.

"Oh? Did you happen to introduce me?" Miyue said with her hands on her hips, "Remember, the detective team relies on brains rather than ability to solve problems. If someone advises you to join the expedition team, don't agree. They only They focus on ability but ignore the connotation, such as this wolf lady."

"I'll beat you up." Luojia showed his canine teeth.

"Look, this is proof!" Miyue quickly made a blocking gesture.

"It's so embarrassing..."

"Well, can I go back and read?" the other witches whispered.

Dai Lan was stunned for a moment.

Well, life here seems a little different from what she imagined...?
