Chapter 57 The Snake Demon Hakara

But Wendy was not as excited as she was, but asked in a suspicious tone: "He really said that?"

"That's right, before I got there, he had already saved Anna and Nana. The prince never believed that the witch's power came from the devil. He said it was our own power—" Nightingale stopped suddenly, and she Realize that the other person doesn't believe what you're saying.

Well, she thought, it's not Wendy's fault. If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be yearning just based on a witch's description. The witches have been oppressed for too long, traveling all the way from the Eastern Region to the Impassable Mountain Range, and there are too many living examples in front of them. It is a common thing to be betrayed and abandoned, and they can no longer trust others.

Thinking of this, her excitement gradually calmed down, maybe this trip will not be as smooth as she thought.

"Wendy, you know my branching ability. In addition to being able to see the flow of magic power, I can also tell whether others are lying." Nightingale said seriously, "I once asked him why he took such a big risk to do it for the witch. At this point, he replied to me, "Border Town doesn't care about origin." He hoped that all witches would become free citizens. "

"If he does this, he will become a thorn in the side of the church," Wendy frowned. "Even if the prince doesn't know what it means, don't you know?"

Nightingale couldn't help chuckling, "My initial thought was almost the same as yours. I asked him, can this really be done? As a result, guess how he answered me?" She paused, saying every word Said, ""If you don't take this step, you will never know the answer.""

"Didn't lie?"

"I'm not lying." Nightingale affirmed.

"It sounds unbelievable," Wendy said with a slightly relaxed tone. Regarding this long-time friend, she really couldn't think of a reason for him to deceive her.

"That's right," Nightingale felt the same way. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes and was able to verify her ability, she probably wouldn't have made up her mind so quickly. Looking back now, as Roland said to himself on the watchtower of the city wall, he really rarely lied. In the past two months of getting along, except that he didn't honestly explain the use of the ice light, everything else made Nightingale very satisfied.

Of course, she didn't care about that little deception in her heart. It would be strange if the secret was completely revealed to a strange witch who had just met for a short time.

"Tonight, after everyone returns, I will tell my sisters this important news!" She looked at Wendy and said in a deep voice, "I hope you can help me convince everyone."

When evening came, the busy witches began to return to the camp one after another. Seeing that Nightingale returned safely, everyone was very happy and gathered around to ask questions. Seeing the white cloth belts wrapped around their arms, Nightingale felt heavy in her heart. After answering a few questions casually, she raised her hand to calm everyone down.

What follows is a longer period of narration. She started from sneaking into Border Town, to meeting Roland, Anna and Nana, to building city walls, assembling steam engines, and finally to resisting evil beasts, and Anna becoming an adult. Nightingale took out the scroll of steam engine design blueprints from her bosom, and proved to everyone that she was not lying.

Most of the witches lived a life of isolation after joining the Mutual Aid Society. It was hard to imagine the life outside, and everyone listened attentively. When Nightingale said that Anna hadn't suffered any pain and spent her coming of age safe and sound, the crowd exploded. This is a major event that has plagued witches all their lives. They endured a life of starvation and lack of clothing to keep out the cold, and they ran to the Impassable Mountain Range just to find the legendary holy mountain. If, as Nightingale said, the lord of a territory is willing to accept them, and at the same time may be able to avoid the suffering of evil spirits, wouldn't it be more perfect than the holy mountain residence?

At this moment, the crowd parted a lane, and a witch with green hair and half a serpentine face walked up to Nightingale.

"Hello, dear teacher." Nightingale bowed to her. The person who came was the founder of the Mutual Aid Society, the snake demon Hakara. In the meeting, the sisters all called her a mentor.

"I heard the stories you told," her voice was hoarse and hollow. "Do you want to tell everyone that what we are doing now is wrong?"

"No, Master, those aren't stories, I mean—"

"Enough," she waved her hand impatiently, "I don't know what you encountered in Border Town this time that made you say such a thing. A prince who sympathizes with witches? It's as ridiculous as sympathizing with frogs," She turned around with a sneer, opened her arms and asked loudly, "Sisters! Have you all forgotten how those mortals dealt with you!"

Before Nightingale could explain, she continued to accuse, "That's right, mortals, those incompetent people pretended to be gods and aimed their sharp knives and whips at us. Without God's Stone of Retaliation, why would they trample witches under their feet? Our ability does not come from the devil, but the gift of the gods, and it should not be the church that acts for the gods, but us! Sisters of the Mutual Aid Society! The holy mountain recorded in the ancient books is the abode of the gods!"

What... Nightingale couldn't believe her ears. Although she used to think that the leader of the Mutual Aid Society had a weird personality and had an extraordinary obsession with finding the holy mountain, she was still far from crazy. Although Hakara is not as approachable as Wendy, at least her concern for her sisters is genuine and sincere. But I didn't expect that she would be so hostile to ordinary people.

So she's been suppressing her hatred and anger for the past few years? The so-called non-interference in secular affairs is just to accumulate strength in exchange for thunderous revenge in the future? Nightingale thought to herself, what made her no longer want to hide herself? Could it be...

"We have discovered the clues to the opening of the holy mountain, just like the records in ancient books! In just twenty days, when the red moon dripping with blood appears in the night sky, and we pass through the huge stone gate rising from the ground, we will arrive at the final The other shore!" She turned back and looked directly at Nightingale, "You have been deceived by mortals, and we have lived in a huge deception since we were born. The suffering of adulthood is the test of our spirit and body by the gods, and only the will can be strong. Only those who are stubborn and unyielding are worthy of real power. As for the church," she sneered, "a group of mortals dare to act in the name of gods, and they will all go to hell sooner or later."

"And you... child, it's still too late to turn around now," Hakara paused, "Forget the stories you told, I can forgive your ignorance and mistakes, and accept you again as a member of the Mutual Aid Society, and together with us, Find eternity in the holy mountain."

Nightingale's heart has completely cooled down, is suffering a test? Those sisters who suffered from body phagocytosis on the day of awakening and couldn't make it through, are they all eliminated who are not worth mentioning? This statement is exactly the same as that of the church. But the witches around showed an expression of approval, and Wendy didn't stand up... She suddenly felt uninterested. Before she blinked, the founder of the Freedom Society and the guide of the witches in front of her had become a stranger. people.

She shook her head, "In this case, I will take away the sisters who are willing to leave with me, and those who decide to stay here... I wish you all good luck."

Just as Nightingale was about to leave, a slight stabbing pain came from her calf. She lowered her head and found a black snake with shining blue stripes biting her calf—this is a magic snake, silent and capable of using various poisons, the usual ability of the snake demon Hakara.

The numbness quickly spread to her whole body. Nightingale opened her mouth to say something, but she was greeted by darkness.
