Chapter 958 Heartbroken Friendship
"What happened over there?" During the conversation, Margaery suddenly showed a look of surprise, "Joan...what is she doing?"
Roland also noticed a small commotion on one side of the hall. He saw the businesswoman's witch friend actually left the corner and slowly walked toward Lightning and others accompanied by the maid.
Maisie, on the other hand, went back and forth between the two of them, seeming to be conveying some news.
Joan was very nervous at first, almost only willing to stay behind the maid. Only when the pigeon came close would she lean out half of her body. But after the two parties came into contact, the situation quickly changed.
Not only did she talk to the witches, she even reached out her hands and carefully touched Lorgar's ears and tail.
"So that's it," Roland couldn't help but laugh, "It's indeed lightning."
"This... is incredible," Margaery covered her mouth and said, "Do you know how long it took us to get Joan out of the water? A full two months - and with the help of Ms. Carmilla .”
"How did she do it?" Lei Lei was also surprised.
"She doesn't need to do anything, she just needs to take Maisie and Lorja with her." Roland said with a smile, "Qiong's defense comes from people's rejection of aliens, but when surrounded by aliens, this kind of defense is natural There is no need to maintain it anymore - whether it is a pigeon or a wolf girl, I think in her eyes, they are all the same."
"Same...kind?" Margery repeated.
"Well, this is not the first time you have seen Maisie, and Luojia is more similar to Joan," Roland explained the beast-like characteristics of the third princess of Mad Flame, "In short, you don't have to worry about the next few months. , can she blend in with everyone?"
"The witch named Luojia...hasn't she been feared and ostracized by others?"
"If not, she would not have come to Neverwinter City - even in the extreme south where witches are regarded as clan goddesses, an appearance that is obviously different from ordinary people will still be considered an ominous sign." Roland shook his head, " Of course, this kind of resistance also exists in Neverwinter City, but it is not so obvious. As for the Witch Alliance, there is no rejection at all. Everyone is a survivor who has come up from the bottom, and they know the nature of abilities best. There are new sisters arriving and it’s not too late for them to welcome them.”
“The unknown is the biggest fear.” Lei Lei sighed. “The reason why I wanted to become an explorer at first was just to make a lot of money, but now I just hope that I can take a few more steps outside in my lifetime—— There are so many mysteries that need to be solved in this world. If we don’t go out, people will always be able to huddle in a small piece of land and be bound by fear all their lives.”
"This is also the reason why I decided to support you," Roland toasted to him. "There is an old saying in our country: people will always become as big as their own thoughts. If you think like this, you are destined to be remembered by history. .”
"Thank you for your compliments," Lei Lei clinked his glasses and smiled, "I will do my best during this trip and will live up to your expectations."
Margery stared at Joan for a long time, as if thinking about something. After a while, she turned back, caressed Roland's chest and said, "Your Majesty, I have a merciless request."
"you say."
"After this adventure is over, I originally wanted Joan to return to the fjord and settle down in her birthplace." She said softly, "The life in the sea is too lonely, and I don't want her to live alone anymore. But. Now I have changed my mind..." Margaret paused, "Your Majesty, can I entrust her to you?"
"You mean - leave her in Neverwinter?"
"If it were a fjord environment, Joan would probably be able to move around in a very small area and talk to very few people. But with you, she can at least make real companions." The businesswoman nodded, " After all, I took her away from the familiar sea, so I can't betray her trust - now I feel that there is no more suitable place than your place."
"Of course, no problem," Roland smiled slightly, "The Witches Alliance was established just for this."
"With your words, I feel relieved," Margaery lifted her skirt and saluted happily.
Lily yawned and returned to the bedroom, hanging the wet towel on the clothes hanger. Just as she was about to read the biology book for a while before going to sleep, she heard mysterious words from behind her.
"Lost... lost... lost..."
She rolled her eyes, pretended not to hear, and opened the book indifferently.
Sure enough, the other party's voice immediately became much louder.
"The detective team lost... the detective team lost... the detective team lost..."
"Are you done or not!" Lily suddenly felt the veins on her forehead throbbing, and turned around suddenly, "Just sleep well, okay?"
"But we lost," Miyue hugged the pillow with a look of reluctance, "Don't you feel heartbroken? I had already thought about how to win her over, but in the end I fell short. Look at the way they communicate. , and basically--0---0---little--said---this is the gorgeous dividing line--let go of that witch. 00 novel netizens please remind: please pay attention to resting your eyes when reading for a long time. 00 novel recommendation Read: Ultimate Bodyguard Mixed Girls' School-0--0---Little--Say---This is a gorgeous dividing line---It's not like they can understand each other's words. How on earth do they do this? Could it be that they Have we known each other before? Now the number of people in the expedition team is exactly the same as that of the detective team, and the title of the largest group is also..."
What does it mean to fall short of the target? It's clear that you have already lost before the other party even made any effort. "Why should I feel heartbroken? Who is with you? It's us!" Lily interrupted, "I'll say it again, there were only three people in the detective team at the beginning. Now, We lost the challenge, and the number of people is still smaller than the opponent. It’s basically a complete defeat, so you’d better disband as soon as possible!”
After finishing speaking, she snorted, turned her eyes back to the book, and decided that no matter how much the other party interfered, she would never pay attention.
But surprisingly, Mi Yue did not continue to pester, and there was silence behind her.
This isn't right.
She felt vaguely uneasy. Had she gone too far? Although this guy was a little annoyed, his starting point was good. If it hadn't been for such a fuss, Qiong didn't know how long it would have been before he got together with everyone. Apart from the big mistake of eavesdropping on His Majesty's conversation, no other losses were caused... Maybe I was too harsh?
Suddenly a heavier thought popped into her mind.
Mysterious Moon was different from her. He used to be very reserved, and because of his abilities, he was often scolded by Hakara along the way. He was like a transparent person in the cooperative association. Now that the other party has finally become cheerful and lively, will he become depressed again because of her blaming?
Thinking of this, Lily suddenly felt regretful.
She swallowed and turned around slowly, the words of apology already on her lips.
However, what caught her eyes was a ten-dollar scroll.
I saw that the other party touched her behind her at some point, raised his hands, held the banknotes respectfully and handed them to her.
"W-what are you doing?" Lily was shocked by this move.
"Please don't leave the detective team, I am willing to use a bottle of Chaos Drink in exchange!" Miyue said with a sad face, "If even you leave, then the detective team will never have a chance to turn around!"
I've already told you that I'm not, can you just listen to what others say? - Lily held her forehead helplessly, and felt a little relieved. Fortunately, this guy was not as fragile as she thought after he released his true nature.
After a long silence, she reached out and took the other person's Ten Yuan Scroll.
"You agreed?" Miyue was overjoyed.
"No," Lily knocked on the table, "I still have a lot to do, and I don't have time to accompany you to fool around. But I can give you a hint, and this note is the reward. If you don't occupy me in the future, During my working hours, I can also help your detective team with some ideas, at least they are much better than trying to win over strange witches."
"What hint?"
"If you want to expand the team, you shouldn't come to me - not everyone in the Witch Union is as busy as Soraya, you can just target those who are idle." Lily held back the guilt in her heart , secretly apologizing, "Think about it, who else accompanied you to the academy to look for clues to arson last time?"
"Hmm...are you talking about looking for Evelin? She can't do it. Although she doesn't have much time to use her abilities, there is still a tavern that needs to be taken care of."
"Not her."
"Uh...you mean, Amy?" Mystery Moon showed hesitation, "But she is not from Graycastle, and she has her own companions..."
"Isn't that better? Pulling her into the detective team is equivalent to pulling in all the Wolfheart Witches," Lily said with her fingers. "Except for Annie, Hero and Broken Sword are not too busy, and The latter also has a regular cooperation with you... As for where they come from, does it matter? Joan is still the Witch of the Fjord, why don't you see any concern? "
"I-I know!"
"In addition, those fighting witches who originally belonged to the Blood Fang Society can also be considered. They are usually very idle anyway. As long as you ask, I don't think they will refuse. In this way, there are several more people than the expedition group, at least not in terms of scale. Lose to the other party. But you must remember two points, one is not to cause trouble to His Majesty, and the other is not to challenge the expedition team at will," Lily warned, "I don't know why, but I always feel that you can't beat the other party."
"Because you are partial." Miyue pouted.
"That's weird! Anyway, that's all I have to say, go to bed and don't bother me again." She waved her hand.
"Oh..." Mi Yue just took a step forward and turned back.
"What's wrong?" Lily found that after experiencing the previous ups and downs in her mind, she actually had a lot more patience.
That's all, just think of it just in case, it's better than regretting it later if something goes wrong.
"My ten-yuan roll was the fee for recruiting you..." Miyue hesitated, "Since you won't join the detective team, can you return it to me?"
In an instant, Lily heard a glass-like shattering sound in her heart.
"No-door! You-go-open!"
