Chapter 465 Calm and Waves

Wendy, Shujuan and Speer were sitting in the lobby on the first floor of the castle, sharing the finest black tea from Glow City.

She took off the sizzling kettle from the hook on the fireplace and poured the boiled well water into the tea cup. Watching the water gradually turn into a transparent orange-red, and the mellow aroma coming from the billowing white mist, Wendy felt that her whole body They all became lazy. Blowing away the heat from the rim of the cup, she took a small sip. The slight bitter taste was followed by the sweetness that echoed on her lips and tongue. The warmth flowed into her belly, making her unable to help but let out a satisfied hum.

On the other side of the hall, Bai Zhi is still competing with the divine sigil. She has now mastered the technique of injecting magic power into the sigil, and can control the magic output more accurately. However, no matter how hard she tries, she can only light up the sigil. The first magic stone.

"When I see her, I can't help but think of the days in the Mutual Aid Association," Shujuan said with emotion. "At that time, no one thought that we could still live like this life."

"If it could have been predicted in advance, Hakara would not have had his own way." Wendy put down the cup, "Fortunately, the sisters who wake up in the future will not have to experience the suffering we suffered." She smiled at this, "Probably, We are the last witches to suffer."

"They are also the oldest group, and they can enjoy the good life for the shortest time," Shujuan said, holding his forehead, "It sounds like they have suffered a big loss."

"So you came back so early today just to enjoy more free time?" Wendy joked.

"I just left after finishing the official business at hand," the latter shrugged, "His Royal Highness Roland is not here, and there are even fewer things to do. I am not used to it."

"Really?" Wendy raised her eyebrows, "When His Highness comes back, I will convey these words to him word for word."

"Well...then when the next exam comes, I can't guarantee that you can understand every question."

"Your relationship is really good," Speer chuckled from the side. "Although I am not young anymore, I don't feel as deeply as you... Among witches, I should be considered a lucky one."

"Of course, not every witch has a high-ranking father," Shujuan took a sip of tea, "and will pass everything he owns to his daughter - such people are only a few even among the nobles."

"By the way, how do you feel about City Hall?" Wendy looked at her, "I heard that you go there whenever you have free time recently."

"I have benefited a lot," Speer breathed out. "This is the first time I have seen such an organized and closely related department management method. Rather than letting several ministers take charge of things alone, the city hall itself is responsible for employee salaries. It can not only avoid the difficulty of substitution, but also allow capable civilians to join without any hindrance... I really don’t know how His Highness came up with this."

"She was still chatting happily with Barov," Shujuan covered his mouth and said.

"Ahem, it's just that he asked me for advice on a few issues related to noble laws, which I happen to know better," Speer shook his head. "And the new legal provisions enacted by His Highness are very unique. Maybe they will also be used in Falling Dragon in the future." After the implementation, I couldn't help but discuss it with him for a while."

"Oh? What's unique about it?"

"For example, the definition of people..."

"Sister Wendy, when can I light up the second magic stone?" Bai Zhi came over at some point and shouted while holding up the divine talisman.

"When you grow older," she stretched out her hand to the little girl, "come and let me hug you."

The white paper grabbed her hand and crawled into her arms on both hands and feet.

Wendy touched Bai Zhi's head and looked at the two people discussing the new law in front of her, feeling peaceful in her heart.

It would be great if this life could continue forever.

At this moment, a guard walked into the hall. He looked around for a while, and then walked towards the four of them hesitantly.

"What happened?" Wendy recognized him. He was one of His Royal Highness's personal guards.

"Ms. Wendy, a town citizen came outside the castle. She said that her daughter had just awakened as a witch..." He stroked his chest and saluted, "His Highness has told you that if he is not here, you will be responsible for handling such matters. .”

"What?" The three of them were stunned, "A newly awakened witch?"

"That's what the man said."

"Take me to see it quickly," Wendy said immediately.

…

At the gate of the castle area, she saw two townspeople waiting in the cold wind. One of them was about forty years old, his hair was half white, the wrinkles on his forehead were deep and long, and he was wearing a rather old jacket. The body is slightly rickety. The other person was much younger, probably only seventeen or eighteen years old, standing beside the old woman with a reserved expression.

"This is Ms. Wendy from the Witch Union," the guard introduced.

"Hello, sir." The two bowed respectfully.

"They said they were immigrants from the southern border and moved into the inner city community a month and a half ago. I also checked the ID card and it basically matches the information above."

"Are you a witch?" Wendy looked at the young woman and asked in the softest tone possible, "What's your name?"

"My lord is asking you something." The woman tugged on her sleeve.

"Axia." The latter whispered.

"Are you her...mother?"

"Yes, yes, her father is still working in the furnace area, so I sent her here first," the woman nodded repeatedly, "Sir, may I ask what the prince said on the notice... The witch has a golden dragon every month The salary, is it true?”

"If she is willing to join the Witches' Union, that's right."

"I..." Axia opened her mouth.

"She is willing. Of course she is willing to dedicate everything to His Highness," the mother interrupted her daughter, "Do you want to sign the contract? When can we get the money?"

The other party's words made Wendy couldn't help but frown. It was easy to tell from the tone that the woman clearly regarded her daughter as a commodity for sale, and even regarded the Witch Union as a place for His Royal Highness to have fun.

She suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and replied calmly, "His Royal Highness is currently handling government affairs at Changsong Fortress. I don't know when he will come back. In addition, there are audits and tests required before joining the alliance. You can entrust your daughter to the castle first. , wait until His Highness returns to Border Town before signing the contract."

After all, no matter what, Axia is always innocent, and she doesn’t want to spread her anger against ignorant people to innocent people. Although most of the indigenous people in the town have accepted the witch, these evil moons did not come to the West until after Refugees from all over the world still have deep misunderstandings about witches.

"Then please sir." The woman bowed again and patted her daughter on the head, "Behave well and don't let His Highness down."

"Mom, I-" Axia wanted to say something, but the other person had already turned around and walked towards the exit ramp. (To be continued.)
