Chapter 951 Red and White (Part 1)

After closing the door, Wendy's eyes scanned everyone one by one, and finally landed on Akima.

"If you have anything to say, just say it," the latter said bluntly, "If you are here for today's recruitment order, then there is no need to persuade you, we will not change our mind."

"Aqima..." Doris couldn't help but whisper.

She raised her hand to stop the other person's words, "I will remember your care for us in the past half month, but the two are not the same thing - just as I said when I first arrived in Neverwinter City, since The church has been destroyed, and I will leave the Western Territory sooner or later."

"Rather than this, I want to tell you some good news first," Wendy's soft expression did not change at all, "The city hall received a report that a large number of refugees from the East will arrive in Neverwinter in a week, and there will be a large number of them. Up to 12,000 people. And this time there are probably your relatives among them."

The living room suddenly became boiling.

"You...are you telling the truth?"

"Of course, in order to bring them back, the shipping department is working hard," Wendy said with a smile. "The Chishui River is full of cement ships bound for the east. They are not only filled with dry materials, but also prepared We need supplies to keep out the cold, after all, it’s autumn now.”

"I used to live in Gongqiao Town. Are there people from the town among the immigrants?"

"What's going on in Golden Spike City?"

"It must be a mess."

"Well, I hope my family isn't inside... It was my father who kicked me out in the first place."

"He was also bewitched by the church. Maybe he regrets it now."

Everyone was shouting.

"Don't worry, there are 12,000 people," Wendy clapped her hands, "covering almost most of the towns from Golden Spike City to Haifeng County. It's hard to find even one fellow countryman. Once the statistics are completed in the book, it will be It can immediately filter out people related to your identity. Even if there is no one in this batch, it doesn’t matter. This migration is just the beginning. More and more people will come to Neverwinter in the future. As long as you stay here, you can always meet them. day."

Then she looked at the witch with a tangled look on her face, "It's okay if you don't want to recognize each other, but I think it's better to have news than no news at all, isn't it, Baili? At least it can give them a remedy when they regret it. Opportunity."

"That's right..." The girl known as Baili lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Are you really planning to move the entire Eastern Territory to Neverwinter?" Akima asked in surprise.

"It's not just the Eastern Territory," Wendy said with a smile, "The North, Southern Territory and the central region of the kingdom are also included in the relocation plan. In the end, these territories will only retain a few large cities, and the residents in small towns and villages will move to the cities. Gather.”

"Why... His Majesty the King is going to such trouble?"

"This is very complicated to explain. It seems to be called... the process of urbanization. In the past, due to food problems, large tracts of cultivated land were needed to support a city, so the population was very dispersed. But now food is no longer a problem, but Those villages and towns that account for the vast majority of the population are in administrative gaps and cannot be effectively organized and utilized, so moving them closer to the city is more conducive to leveraging the power of the city hall." Wendy replied patiently, "Because of this , Today’s Western Region is no longer the Western Region in the past sense. If you leave, what will happen to your companions? Do you want them to leave their relatives behind and wander with you in your abandoned hometown? "

"..." Akima frowned and did not answer for a while.

"To put it bluntly, it's just cowardice." At this moment, another cold voice sounded from behind them.

The witches' expressions suddenly changed, and they all turned around and saw a woman shrouded in a black robe appearing on the square table in the living room. She leaned forward slightly, crossed her legs, put one hand on her chin, and looked at the crowd with interest, seemingly not paying attention to their vigilance.

"Who are you?" Akima shouted.

"Nightingale! What are you talking about?" Wendy asked anxiously, "Don't worry, everyone, she has no malicious intentions, she is just an alliance witch responsible for secretly protecting me."

"Did I say something wrong?" She took off her hood, revealing her beautiful golden curly hair. "What are these people hesitating about? It's just because of the Blood Fang Society that they don't want to serve His Highness Tilly anymore. But In fact, they are still living under Maleficent and have no intention of changing."

"That's nonsense!" Akima couldn't help clenching her fists, "If it weren't for Doris, everyone would have left long ago! Besides, what do you know about the matter between the Blood Fang Society and Sleeping Island!"

"Really?" Nightingale raised her eyebrows, "Then why don't you work?"

"What--"

"Let's do the math. The travel expenses and food expenses on the way from Neverwinter City to the Eastern Territory are about twenty silver wolves per person. After arriving at the destination, it takes ten to twenty bronze eagles almost every day. , to buy food. But don’t forget that due to war and migration, most of the villages there have been turned into wastelands. If you want to live now, the cost will be dozens of times higher than before. This is why refugees will flow to Neverwinter. The reason." She said unhurriedly, "In other words, it is not easy to leave Maleficent without a bag of golden dragons in your hand. If it were me, I would definitely seize this opportunity. Applying for jobs everywhere and striving to get as much funding as possible is also the basis for the team to survive independently. But look at you, what have you done in the past half month? Not to mention enjoying the food distributed by Maleficent, what else do you want to do? Are you waiting for Your Highness Tilly to send you the travel expenses?"

"I..." Akima was paused for a moment. She wanted to refute, but she didn't know where to start.

"Let me say, this is cowardice. So under the pressure of the church, you turned to the Blood Fang Society; and because of this insignificant relationship, you secretly resented the destruction of Hetty Morgan, but you did not dare to stand up and fight against it. The extraordinary witches are tit for tat." Nightingale shrugged, "I really don't know what happened between the Bloodfang Society and Sleeping Island, but the members of the Bloodfang Society know, and they are all in Neverwinter now. Do you think Hetty really thinks of you? Sisters?"

"Nightingale! Enough!" Wendy stopped.

"If I go far away, I will also need to win over the support of the local people, not to mention your ability will be of great help to them; if the church's ears and eyes are not eliminated, it will inevitably attract more suppressors. In short, you At that time, you were just a grasshopper on a rope. If Hetty was really that kind to you, I just want to ask, did she inform you when she was plotting a plan to overthrow Tilly in Sleeping Island?"

Akima bit her lip.

"If you really want to prove your determination, start with the basics now - you can find a lot of excuses on a deserted island, but here, Maleficent can no longer restrain you."

Nightingale pouted at Wendy nonchalantly, and then disappeared in front of everyone.
