Chapter 426 Shining Stars
…
After dinner, Lucia White's room was crowded with witches.
Seeing everyone's encouraging and comforting expressions, she felt her eyes well up. Resisting the urge to cry, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
You can't cry... It's embarrassing enough to cry loudly in front of Nightingale, Lucia warned herself in her heart, and her sister was watching here, so she had to set a good example.
Before taking the boat to the small town, she had only heard that there was a witch organization stationed here. In addition to wanting to save her sister who was infected with the evil plague, she just wanted to find a place to stay, and had no extravagant expectations of what kind of life she could live.
But she never expected that the life here was not only comfortable and comfortable, but she also met a group of similar people who treated her like family. After her parents died in a pirate raid, she felt at home again.
"Is my sister really in danger?" Ling leaned into Lucia's arms and asked, "How painful is the magic backlash?"
"The unbearable pain is like countless knives churning inside your body," Nightingale grinned. "There are very few witches who can survive it. Probably only one or two out of ten can survive adulthood safely. "
"..." The little girl had a stern expression.
"Don't scare her," Wendy glared at Nightingale, "That was all during the Mutual Aid Association period."
"Now as long as you practice every day and let go of your magic power before the awakening day, there is basically no serious problem," Shujuan said with a smile, "I heard that Anna still grew up in a deep sleep."
"And there was also the first high-level awakening," Agatha yawned. "If we put it in Taquila four hundred years ago, it would definitely cause a sensation. No witch has ever had an epiphany in her sleep."
"Are you okay?" His Royal Highness looked at her. "Although work is very important, don't push yourself too hard."
"The battle of divine will is right in front of us, so my busyness is nothing," Agatha covered her mouth and said, "If we fail again this time, it won't be a problem to sleep forever."
"We will never fail this time," Roland affirmed.
"I decided to do more things just because I liked the gadgets you invented," the ice witch rolled her eyes at him, "otherwise, do you think I like to stay in the laboratory every day?" After saying that, she tilted her head and muttered softly. He said, "Even if you don't fulfill your promise, I won't be able to settle the score with you..."
"Okay, don't discuss such a heavy topic at this time." Wendy interjected, "By the way, didn't Miss Agatha say before that the witch can get a wish on the awakening day? This time it's Lucia's turn Now, is there anything you want to achieve?"
"Eh...me?" Lucia couldn't help but be startled when she saw everyone turning their eyes towards her.
"Sister, let's change it to ice cream bread!" Suzu said with sparkling eyes, "Just ten, we'll each get half!"
This guy... just wanted to eat. She tapped her sister's forehead and looked at Roland, "Can I save this wish?"
"If that's what you hope," the latter couldn't help laughing, "but it won't make you much more if you save it."
"Just one," Lucia said gratefully. She has nothing more to live in this small town, she just hopes that Suzuya can live a happy life. My sister is not a witch. One day she will leave her and form a new family with someone else. If anything happens by then, this wish may be able to help her.
At this moment, Lucia suddenly felt that her empty body began to tremble, and magic power was generated again, as if it suddenly appeared from the void and continued to pour into her body.
"It's begun," Nightingale reminded.
Although her sisters said there was nothing to worry about, she still couldn't help but clutch the quilt tightly. Probably because of her nervousness, she felt a little cold in her hands and feet.
"Relax," Wendy held her hand, "Magic is part of our body."
"Do you want to talk about something to distract her?" Lucia heard someone ask, it seemed to be Lily's voice.
"What should we talk about?" It was Miyue who answered.
"For example, the results of the second exam," Lily's voice seemed to come from a far away place, "Generally, if you talk about this, the other party will immediately want to stop the topic from continuing, thus diverting attention. For example, Mysterious Moon's The result is"
"Do not say!"
"See, it's very effective."
Lucia wanted to laugh out loud, but found that the expression on her face was very stiff, her body became extremely hot, and she felt an indescribable sense of contraction. More and more magic seemed to be sucking in everything around her.
Do you experience this feeling as an adult?
"What's Lucia's score?" Miyue's words became intermittent.
"Eighty-six points on average," the prince replied.
"W-what?"
"Is it that high?"
"You see she didn't even stop us."
"Your trick failed, accept the punishment!"
"go away!"
"Wait...stop arguing, something seems wrong with Lucia."
The words of Mysterious Moon and Lily sounded alternately, and finally the voice of the nightingale, but she found that the words of the witches had become blurred. Lucia gritted her teeth and raised her head, looking at the sisters around her, but was surprised to find that the scene in front of her had completely changed. Everyone's appearance became hazy and trivial, as if they were made up of countless squares, some big, some small, each with a different color.
She tried to scream in fear, but there was only a hissing sound in her throat.
The contraction in her body became more and more intense, and bursts of cramping pain began to occur. Lucia had no choice but to hold her breath and endure it. The figures around her were already in chaos.
As Nightingale said, the pain of adulthood is far from what it was when I woke up before. The more I persisted, the more obvious the cramping pain became, as if it would cut myself into pieces at any time.
Suddenly, a strange magic power penetrated into her body. Lucia could clearly feel that this magic power did not belong to her. It was like a pipe, hooked on the magic whirlpool.
She no longer bothered to explore what it was, and subconsciously squeezed the magic power surging in her body into the tube, and the pain immediately eased a lot. As if she had found a savior, Lucia continued to inject magic into it to suppress the pain in her body.
I don't know how long it took before the strange contractions subsided. The magic power no longer rotates, but becomes full and full, completely different from the previous experience.
Blinking his eyes, his vision returned to normal.
Looking at Ling who was about to cry, Lucia patted her head and said in a dry voice, "It's okay."
Only then did she realize that her body was soaked with sweat, the cold wind was blowing, and there was a biting chill behind her.
No, how could there be wind in a room filled with heating?
She turned her head and was stunned. She saw a huge gap in the wall facing the garden. Two windows were missing, and the cold wind was pouring in from here. Through the gap, she could see the dark night and the lights of the town. It was Anna who stood in front of this half of the wall. She looked at herself with concern, and the divine sigil in her hand shone slightly.
"Her abilities are concentrated," Nightingale said.
