Chapter 1267 Invitation

The so-called "magic potion" does not have to be a pill to be effective. She has never told the nobles that her magic power can be attached to any object. Swallowing small pills is convenient for controlling the dosage, but it also makes them ignore this crucial point. Important point.

At that private banquet, Dai Lan exerted her power on all food and drinks. Only in such absurd occasions, the nobles' defense against her would be minimized.

Facts have proven that when pleasure accumulates to a high enough level, it can be as deadly as pain. By the time the participants realized the pleasure was too intense, it was already too late. One by one, they clutched their chests and fell down in twitching. Even those who had not eaten much, their hands and feet were weak, and their faces were in a trance, as if they were enjoying the ultimate happiness in the world.

The female slaves in the house were so frightened that they fled in droves, and the guards had no time to stop them. Dai Lan and Momo also took advantage of the chaos and ran out of the manor.

Then there was the road of exile, hiding in Tibet.

It wasn't until they heard the news about Graycastle's great relocation that the two decided to try their luck in Sinking Bay.

"So that's what happened..." Wendy reached out and took them into her arms, "You have suffered a lot along the way, right? I promise, these things will never happen again in the future."

"Don't you...don't dislike us?" Dai Lan bit his lip.

"Why should you dislike it? Because of the unbearable experiences in the past?" Wendy said softly, "If you put it that way, I was almost treated like this by the church. There is no reason to blame the victim rather than the perpetrator for this kind of thing. "

"But our abilities... will only bring misfortune to people." Dai Lan clenched his fists.

"That's not your decision."

"However, once you experience that kind of happiness, you will never forget it. The requirements will only get higher and higher. In the end, you will not care about anything except the pursuit of pleasure... If you stay here, I'm afraid..."

"Afraid that His Majesty the King can't control you, or sees you as potential demons?" Wendy comforted, "Don't worry, our Majesty... How should I put it, although he doesn't look like a king, he is definitely an unusually good person. .”

Dai Lan was stunned, "Unusual... good person?" This was the first time she heard the royal family being described with such words.

"It means that you can never guess what he is thinking, and you can't use convention to judge his actions. Therefore, any worries and fears in advance are meaningless. Trust is the most important thing." Wendy's voice suddenly changed It was extremely gentle, "The sisters of the Mutual Aid Society were also rescued in this way."

After a moment of silence, she looked at Momo, "By the way, with the ability you just said about "you", could it be that Momo also—"

This time the two hesitated for a longer time, and finally Momo took the initiative and said, "The former master dug out my alienated eyes after awakening because he didn't want me to use my abilities anymore."

Wendy had noticed this strange thing a long time ago. On Momo's face, there was a dirty rag covering half of her forehead diagonally. She originally thought it was to cover scars such as branding or tattoos, but she didn't. The outcome was expected to be more serious than this.

After the other party finished speaking, he slowly took off the rag on his head, revealing the empty eye sockets underneath.

"But they don't know that doing this will only make me lose half of my vision. Only the Chain of Divine Punishment can truly block it."

Wendy couldn't help but sigh. Witches who can completely combine their magic power with their bodies are called extraordinary beings. Momo's situation obviously has nothing to do with the extraordinary. In all likelihood, his ability happened to act on "vision", causing his eyes to suffer unreasonable disasters.

"Those nobles didn't take Momo's ability seriously at first. It wasn't until some changes happened that the master let her do something to her." Dai Lan whispered, "They called Momo the son of hell, and they called everyone All kinds of punishments were used on her, and she almost didn't survive."

Wendy caressed her scarred eyes lovingly, "Can you tell me what exactly you saw?"

Momo lowered his head, "...a number."

"What?"

"A countdown number indicates the deadline."

It took Wendy a long time to react, and she couldn't help but take a breath.

"Could it be that the change that Dai Lan mentioned refers to——"

Momo nodded, "It came true. A nobleman who originally had only one left died the next year."

Wendy couldn't help but remain silent.

She finally understood why those nobles would commit such a murderous act - deadlines are hard for anyone to accept, especially when there are only a few years left. Even she herself doesn't expect answers through this ability.

"But... is this kind of thing really possible?" Wendy thought for a moment and said, "After all, accidents can happen at any time."

The two of them were stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"No..." Dai Lan waved his hands repeatedly, "I just think... your attitude is different from others. You actually ask for details about your ability first."

"Oh? Then what do you expect me to do?"

Dai Lan replied with some embarrassment, "Push Momo away, ask her if she can use her powers, and then drive us out of the castle. The further away from here, the better."

Wendy burst into laughter, "Ability is neither good nor bad, the key lies in the person who uses it. Besides, the more detailed the understanding, the easier it will be to use it in the future."

"Do you think...my ability will be useful?" Momo said in disbelief.

"I can't say for sure, but His Majesty once told me that every witch's ability will always have its purpose. If it doesn't exist now, it doesn't mean there won't exist in the future."

She stood still for a while before slowly replying, "This ability cannot predict accidents. I have seen some livestock have numbers on their heads that were several years old before they were about to be slaughtered. But..."

"But what?" Wendy asked.

"Some of the numbers are different colors... I don't know what that means, but it feels like there should be a difference."

"If you are willing to join the Witches' Union, you should soon know why - after all, the first thing every new joiner has to do is to learn how to control his own abilities and test all aspects of it. Only if you understand deeply enough , it is possible for him to be further promoted.”

"Promotion...promotion?" Dai Lan asked confused.

"You will know in the future that awakening magic is just the beginning. There are still many things to learn next." Wendy spread her hands towards the two of them, "How about it, have you made a decision?"

Dai Lan and Momo looked at each other.

"If you can all accept this..."

"We are willing to join the Witches Union."

They carefully stretched out their hands, as if with uneasiness and temptation, mixed with longing and hope, and slowly placed them into Wendy's palm.
