Chapter 63 The Story of the Past

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. In the winter when she was fourteen years old, a refugee riot broke out in Silver Light City, and the parents who distributed food to the refugees never came back. Nightingale and her younger brother were sent to another branch of the Glenn family, the home of her father's brother.

It was also that winter that Nightingale awakened as a witch.

She carefully concealed her abilities, but was still discovered by old Glenn, who snatched her younger brother away from her, and threatened Nightingale with his life to do things for her.

Nightingale had no choice but to follow suit. She was specially trained by members of the Thieves Guild brought by Old Glenn, and then did some shady things for him, such as sneaking into the homes of business opponents to steal contracts and documents, eavesdropping on the meetings of the city hall, and Later, poison was even placed in the water tanks or wine glasses of some potential competitors.

The business of Ge Lan's family is getting bigger and bigger, but his attitude towards Nightingale is getting worse and worse. If anything goes wrong, he will beat and kick her. Except for doing business for himself, he locked Nightingale in the room and replaced the door with iron bars. What makes Nightingale sad and puzzled most is that her younger brother Hyde hardly comes to see her anymore. She began to wonder if Old Glenn had killed her younger brother.

Under her repeated begging, the other party brought her younger brother in disgust. However, Hyde told Nightingale with a look of disgust that she really hoped that without her sister, the witch would go to hell to be with the devil.

Nightingale collapsed immediately, but the nightmare was not over yet, old Glenn gave her the final blow - the secret of her becoming a witch was exactly what Hyde told himself, in order to get away from the witch, as far away as possible.

After sending Hyde away, Old Glenn coldly warned her that his younger brother would inherit his father's title when he became an adult, but if Nightingale didn't continue to obey his orders, he could let his younger brother die quietly at any time.

In this way, in despair and great grief, Nightingale let the Gülen family control her like a puppet. In the snowy moon when she was about to become an adult, on the way home after completing the mission, she met Wendy. In other words, it was Wendy who found her.

When she learned that there was still a Witches' Society, and that there were many sisters who had suffered misfortune like her but did not give up their resistance, Nightingale's broken heart suddenly ignited a little spark.

From being confused to making up her mind, she didn't spend too much time. In her coming-of-age days a week later, she gritted her teeth and survived the ordeal, and her strength changed dramatically. The mist didn't just hide her figure, she found that those iron railings could no longer stop her.

After the symptoms of adulthood recovered, one night, like a ghost, she stepped into Old Glenn's bedroom and cut his neck with a dagger. Seeing the blood spurting several feet high and the sound of the other party's breathing, she unexpectedly found that she was calmer than she imagined.

Then Nightingale left Grenn's house, and she didn't want to pay any attention to her younger brother Hyde.

In this way, she and Wendy embarked on a journey to find the Mutual Aid Society.

Nightingale waited for a while after telling the story. Seeing that the prince was still immersed in the past, she took her leave first. It took a long time for Roland to come back to his senses. It has to be said that every witch has a long and bitter history, and those who can live to adulthood are the best among them.

And I couldn't be more lucky to be able to become a prince after time travelling.

The next morning, Roland went to Nightingale's room to visit Wendy.

After a whole night of recuperation, Wendy's complexion looked much better, and the blood on the attached arm also returned. Although her body was still a little weak, she still propped up her body and bowed her head to the prince.

"I already know about you, thank you for saving Nightingale's life," Roland pulled out a piece of parchment from his arms, and said straight to the point, "There is no doubt that Hakara will no longer accept you to return to the Freedom Society, why not just Stay in Border Town and work for me. If you agree, sign this contract. The salary is the same as that of Anna, one gold dragon per month."

"Your Highness..." Nightingale blinked and hesitated to speak.

Roland naturally knew what she wanted to say. Regarding this friend who changed the trajectory of her life and saved her life in the Impassable Mountains, Nightingale didn't want to force Wendy to make a decision so quickly. In her opinion, as long as Wendy stays in Border Town for a while, she will definitely fall to her side.

"I also hope to talk about this matter without being in such a hurry, but some things are more dangerous every day of delay." Roland paused for a moment, and Wendy did not interrupt, quietly waiting for the next sentence, "I think I may know A way for a witch to spend her Awakening Day unharmed."

"What?" As soon as the words came out, the expressions of the two witches changed and they asked in unison.

"It's just a guess, and there is no real evidence," Roland waved his hand. "Witches will suffer less harm in the camp than when they were in exile. The only difference is that when you are in exile, you hide your identity for fear of being known. When camping, you have to constantly use your abilities to maintain the camp’s daily operations.”

Wendy nodded, "You're right...that's right."

"When Anna was in the castle, she had to train her abilities every day. Before her coming of age, she even exhausted her magic power and fell into a coma. When she woke up, she had safely passed the most difficult level of a witch without a hair. No injuries."

"So I think this may be the key to solving the demon's phagocytosis. A witch is a container of magic power. As it grows, its magic power continues to accumulate. When it exceeds the limit of the body's tolerance, it will cause damage to itself. And the moon of the demon itself is a witch. The most powerful moment."

"If you can continuously release your magic power and keep it at a safe value, maybe the torture of the awakening day will be greatly reduced, or even completely disappeared." Roland paused, and then said, "As the lord of Border Town , I can provide a place for witches to unleash their power freely, and no one will arrest you, try you, or directly execute you. If my guess is correct, then there is no doubt that Border Town is the holy mountain you have been looking for for a long time .”

Witches have been educated from birth. This dangerous ability is endowed by the devil. People who are a little more sober will only feel that it is a curse to constantly counteract their own power. This is an endless loop. The more you don't want to use it It, the stronger the backlash will be. As a traverser, Roland's attitude towards this power is completely opposite. After reviewing the memory of the fourth prince and ruling out the existence of the true god, he simply regarded magic power as a kind of energy, a kind of ability that can be controlled by his own will.

Wendy was silent for a long time before asking, "If I sign the contract and agree to work for you, may I ask... what should I do first?"

During these hundreds of years, some witches were secretly imprisoned by a few ambitious people because of their unique abilities, and used as consumables. Although the church severely punishes such behavior, it is still difficult to ban it. And they are relentless when using witches. Once they lose their use value, the end can be described as disastrous.

Of course, Roland has heard about this, but what he sees is long-term benefits, a sustainable development system that can win and win. He smiled and replied, "The first thing you need to do is practice your ability repeatedly until you fully master it—just like Anna."
