Chapter 413 Incident

Speer Passi was silent for a while before he said, "Is this a threat or an invitation?"

"Of course it's an invitation," Nightingale said, spreading her hands. "Your Highness does not agree with using coercion to drive any witch. In fact, I hate that method too."

"Then I refuse," Speer said without hesitation. "If he really needs my help, he can bring the witch to Falling Dragon Ridge and visit him with noble etiquette. Instead of sending someone to sneak into my house. Castle. Of course, if it attracts the attention of the church, I can’t guarantee the witch’s safety.”

This answer was not what Nightingale expected. In fact, to get an unrelated stranger to agree to a rather difficult request, generally speaking, there are only two methods: coercion and inducement. The former does not want to be used, and the latter cannot be used by Passy. The Marquis is already the lord of a city, and above that is the guardian of the realm. However, His Highness not only does not plan to grant lands and titles, but also plans to take back the power of all feudal nobles. According to him, this is called centralization of power. So in disguise, if she works for His Highness, her status will be reduced in the eyes of traditional nobles.

As for following His Highness Roland to create a new world and fighting against the terrifying enemies in the War of Divine Will, she probably wouldn't believe it if I told her about it.

"I understand," Nightingale curled her lips, "Then let me take my leave now."

"Wait..." Speer looked very surprised, "Just... like this?"

"I was responsible for bringing His Highness the Prince's message. Now that you know it and have given an answer, the task is naturally completed," she grinned. "Otherwise, do you want me to kidnap you back?"

"How do you know that my ability is a magic channel?" The Marquis hesitated for a moment, "...are you in contact with the group of witches who plan to go to the fjord islands?"

"You guessed it right. The leader of that group of witches, Lady Tilly Wimbledon, is currently staying in Border Town, fighting against the Demonic Moon with her brother." Nightingale shrugged, "His Highness also learned about it from her. Got your news."

"They didn't go to the fjord?"

"No, before they went to the fjord, they didn't know that His Highness Roland had already established a foothold in the Western Territory. They didn't get in touch until they settled on Sleeping Island." She briefly described the process of the alliance between the two parties. "This time Tilly When you go to the Western Region, you are invited by him, just like you."

"The fourth prince really... established a system for witches and ordinary people to coexist in the territory?" Speer asked with a frown, obviously not believing this.

"Not only that, he also drove the church forces out of his territory," Nightingale said with a smile, "There are now more than ten witches living in Border Town, and the townspeople are accustomed to their existence. I never lie about this."

"..." The Marquis stood up and poured her a cup of tea, "Can you tell me more, how did he do this?"

"If you want to know," Nightingale turned around, walked back to the table and sat down. These deeds may not change the other party's decision, but it is not a bad thing to deepen each other's understanding. She decided to focus on His Highness's formation of the Witch Alliance, the war with Duke Lane, and the management situation after the recovery of Longsong Fortress. In this way, the other party We can also roughly understand the situation of the witch in the small town. When His Highness unifies Graycastle in the future, this Witch Marquis will probably not put up much fearless resistance.

At this moment, there was a sudden rapid knocking sound outside the window.

"This is..." Speer looked at Nightingale in surprise.

The latter pushed open the window, and it turned out to be Maisie squatting outside. "Danger! Lightning has discovered an unexpected situation!"

"What happened?"

"A team of the Judgment Army is coming towards the castle, Gu!" Pigeon flapped its wings, "There are at least twenty people Gu!"

"The Church's Judgment Army?" Nightingale turned around and frowned, "Is this here to find you?"

"No...I didn't make an appointment with the church priest today." The Marquis also looked particularly confused. "Could it be that your whereabouts have been discovered?"

"Unlikely," she shook her head, "unless the church has the ability to monitor every bird in the sky."

"That's strange..." Speer mused, "If they came to find me, they shouldn't have sent out so many trial troops. This is almost the entire manpower of the Falling Dragon Ridge Church."

"What are you waiting for? They are about to enter the castle area!" A golden figure rushed in from the window and landed lightly next to Nightingale. It was Lightning.

"Although I don't know the situation, I suggest that you'd better avoid them first," Nightingale said solemnly, "or ask your personal guards to stop them outside the castle and find out the reason."

"This is my castle, where can I hide? Don't worry, these guys can't come in without my permission, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to protect those witches before," Speer sighed, " But this meeting may have to end here... If you are not in a hurry, I think..."

Just as she was speaking halfway, there were already sounds of chaotic footsteps under the castle, and even the sound of swords clashing, which was particularly clear in the castle embedded in the mountain. The Marquis' expression couldn't help but change, "Who let them in? Guards!"

Speer called several names, but no one outside responded, and the footsteps were getting closer.

"It seems they are coming for you," Nightingale gestured to Lightning, reminding her to leave first, "It's not too late to leave now, we can protect your safety."

"No, I'm not going anywhere! This is my territory, how dare they be so presumptuous?"

Before he finished speaking, the door was knocked open with a bang, and a group of fully armed Judgment Warriors walked in. They raised their swords and shields and surrounded the Lord.

At the same time, Nightingale disappeared into the mist and retreated to a position near the corner. This was both convenient for escaping and observing the situation in the room. She noticed that Lightning and Maisie hadn't left either. The former was sticking his head out from the window eaves to spy on the enemy's actions. The latter simply squatted on the top of the beam and took care of his wings in an orderly manner.

These two brats are simply acting recklessly. They must be disciplined by His Highness when they return... She shook her head helplessly and turned her gaze to the church's Judgment Warriors, each wearing a Stone of Divine Punishment and a lightless black hole. The interactions overlapped and completely obscured Speer. She could only hear the Marquis' angry rebuke, "Redwin, are you crazy? You brought them into my castle without permission?"

"Of course not, my sister," a man's voice sounded from the crowd, "My father made a mistake and passed the title to a devil's minion. I am just correcting his mistake."
