Chapter 758 Inherited Faith
"Is this what your parents taught you?"
"Well, it's mainly my father," Sharon nodded. "He often said that there are many wrong things in this world, but it is precisely because no one stands up to correct them and let the mistakes continue. Over time, people get used to it. The common thing is not the right thing, everyone is just repeating a mistake, and the more this happens, the worse the world will be."
"Unfortunately, as long as they don't endanger themselves, most people won't stand up." Wendy said slowly. Just like the church's persecution of witches, the people only focused on the bounty of twenty-five golden dragons, but they didn't care whether the children who were hanged were really evil.
"This idea is wrong," Sharon replied. "If the world becomes worse, it will be everyone's business. Some mistakes that seem to have nothing to do with me will one day spread to me."
Being able to raise such a child, Wendy couldn't help becoming a little interested in her parents. When she pretended to ask about it casually, Sharon's answer surprised her, "They are not my parents."
"no?"
"Well, my parents have passed away." When she said these words, the girl's eating movements also slowed down. "After the Eagle City was destroyed in the war, the order in the southern border was broken. Homeless people can be seen everywhere There are also more refugees and beggars, robbers and robbers. Parents are members of the patrol team. When they resisted the robbers and looting... they failed to return. After the lord fled, the townspeople had to continue Leaving the town, Fenghua Town should have become a deserted territory by now."
In other words, this tragedy happened precisely because of the King's Order, and in a sense, it also confirmed what her father said-seemingly irrelevant mistakes will eventually spread to everyone.
Wendy touched Sharon's head apologetically, "I'm sorry...for mentioning these things."
"It's okay." The little girl's expression quickly returned to normal. It can be seen that she was not immersed in the grief of losing a loved one. "Actually, they were ready when they left... Father often said My saying is, rather than paying the price for being wrong, it is better to put the price on correcting the wrong. The former is a crime, while the latter is an honor."
Honor... Wendy suddenly felt emotional. For the patrol members in most towns, their survival rules are similar to those of rats, that is, to absorb benefits while maintaining a unique order. When order and interest conflict, there is no doubt that order will be changed. It has to be said that it is surprising that people like Sharon's parents can appear.
After a long silence, she continued to ask, "Then the person who came to visit you is..."
"My father's friend was helped by him before." Sharon licked her fingers, "I have been living with Uncle Cormac for the past two years—they have no children, and treat me like their own."
That's it, Wendy was silent. It is very rare for an ordinary family to achieve this step.
She stopped asking questions and watched the little girl finish her dinner in one gulp.
After swallowing the last piece of fried meat strips, Sharon let out a long breath, her expression was full of satisfaction, "Thank you, this is the best thing I've ever eaten."
Although the supplies in Neverwinter City are extremely abundant, people no longer have to worry about filling their stomachs, but meat is always a scarce item. The average person can put a piece of jerky in the porridge, which is already a rich life that they never dared to imagine before. As for this kind of half-lean meat fried in hot oil, basically only alchemists, city hall managers, etc. Those with high salaries can afford it.
Wendy smiled and took out her handkerchief, and wiped her oily lips, "After you join the Witch Union, you will be able to eat this kind of food every day."
"Really?" Sharon's eyes lit up, "Can I eat meat every day?"
"Of course, and it's not the marinated meat sold in the convenience market, but fresh wild boar." Wendy said while packing the lunch box, "The part that His Majesty likes the most is the fat and thin one, but not every Only have... You can only find those that are particularly fat. They are very suitable for steaming or frying-the former one is soft and tender, and it will melt directly in your mouth; Smell can make people appetite. By the way, he likes to call this part five flowers... although I can't see where it has anything to do with flowers."
It was thanks to Lightning and Maggie that they were able to eat these. Their favorite hobby when they were patrolling was cooking wild game. In the past, she only brought back some roasted rabbits or bird eggs. Since Maggie was able to transform into a two-winged monster, the efficiency of catching prey has doubled, and the things she brought back have become whole wild boars and snowflakes. Wolf. Especially when His Majesty Roland needs it, he can often fill the basement of the castle with prey in a day.
His Majesty has always said that the Misleading Forest is a great treasure trove that has not yet been cultivated, and now she has some beliefs—at least in terms of providing delicious food, the contribution of the forest is very important.
"Why do you know this? Could it be..." Sharon covered her mouth and exclaimed.
Wendy couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth, "That's it. As long as you're not too busy, Your Majesty always dines with witches."
"The reward for that golden dragon..."
"It's true, too."
"I can too..." the girl pointed to herself.
"Join the Witch Alliance?" Wendy chuckled, "Of course you can. In fact, apart from teaching witches how to use their abilities reasonably, the Alliance also has the meaning of looking after and protecting you. As long as you are willing to serve your Majesty, Those who work in Neverwinter are our sisters."
"Do I have to live in the castle after joining?"
"It's up to you to decide. If you want to be with your family, you can live in your own home." Although the Uncle Cormac that Sharon spoke of was not related to her by blood, they clearly regarded each other as family.
"The class in the academy..."
"Witches have special courses, because our ability to accept is faster and we need to learn more. The knowledge used to promote general education is not suitable for us." Wendy paused, "But considering your age, In the early stage, training should still be the main focus, and witch courses are basically arranged at night. As long as you can balance the two, you can still go to the academy to stay for a while until you graduate."
Sharon no longer hesitated, and nodded vigorously, "I want to join the Witch Union... I want to be like Nana."
Even if she didn't answer, Wendy saw the answer in the girl's eyes—just like the previous question, she knew every choice she made.
It seems that the ability test and the signing of the contract can be brought forward a little bit, she thought.
