Release that Witch

21. Chapter 21 What you hope for

    When Nightingale finished speaking, the room returned to silence, leaving only the occasional buzz of the candle burning.

    Roland looked serious and he finally got a general understanding of the witch community.

    The awakening of most witches occurs in the Months of Demon, which is the day when the Gate of Hell was opened. Generally speaking, adulthood is a dividing line of witch. A woman who is still awakened after the age of 18 will never become a witch again. If she wakes up before the age of 18, she will suffer the pain of the demonic bite every year on the day of awakening. .

    This kind of pain is unimaginable. When Nightingale said this part, the voice is full of vibrato. According to her personal experience, it is like something that wants to break out. Every blood vessel and tendon are unbearable. At the end of the skin, the skin will seep out of the blood, and the eyes will bulge out of the eyes...

    If you can squat in the past, your body will slowly recover after four or five days of rest, but if you can't keep it, you will die in this torture, and the death will be terrible.

    Nightingale has witnessed the death of several companions, their bodies losing support and becoming a group of bulging meat balls. Blood and water are mixed with viscera from the body hole, and the air will turn into black fog. Eventually, when all the sprays are sprayed, only a layer of blackened skin remains on the ground.

    This is evidence that the witch is considered a Devil avatar.

    Ordinary people see this scene early and scare the soul, who will care about the real cause of death? Coupled with Church's push, it is said that Devil is the end of the game. Over time, witch becomes the spokesperson of evil.

    Regardless of what an outsider thinks, this kind of torture is real, and the witch is generally short-lived for this reason. The more difficult it is to get to the back, many people choose to end their lives.

    The 18-year-old adulthood's demonic bite is the most difficult level to pass. In fact, the magic power obtained before the witch is not complete. Only after the adulthood, this power will be stabilized. The stable magic power has a substantial increase compared to the previous one, and even derives new branching capabilities.

    Unfortunately, the process of stabilization is extremely painful. The magical power of the phagocytic body is stronger than the limit that ordinary people can bear. Many witches will die on the adulthood day.

    Roland whispered after listening for a long time, and whispered, "The ancient book records that witch can get eternal peace in Holy Mountain without having to suffer from demonic bite. Is this true?"

    "No one knows, because Holy Mountain has only appeared in the legend. But taking them to the Operations Association camp will make them more likely to survive. Witch If you don't have to hide yourself and live freely, the power of the phagocytic body will be much weaker than before. ”

    Roland was in a hurry, and Anna and Nana's help was indispensable in his plan, but he couldn't bear to worry because his plan was going to put them at great risk. In the end, he said with anger. "Anna is downstairs. I will call her over. If she wants, you will take her away." Nana, I have to see her tomorrow. ”

    “Thank you for your understanding, I really didn’t read you wrong,” Nightingale got up to pay tribute.

    Anna at this time was still not asleep. When Roland called her, she was whispering on the table. Seeing Roland, she looks a little surprised. When he heard that he was going to the prince's room, Anna didn't ask a word more, and he followed the stairs.

    When I entered the room and found a person inside, the girl was really shocked. Roland took her hand and introduced it briefly. The three sat down around a round table. Nightingale repeated the previous words, "...In camp, there are many people like you, they are your partners. ”

    "Probably this is a situation, Miss Anna, although I signed a contract with you, but in a situation that may endanger life, I must respect your opinion. If you promised -"

    "I do not go."

    Roland groaned, "What do you say --"

    "I said I don't want to go," Anna interrupted Roland quickly. "I want to stay here."

    "Anna, I didn't lie to you," Nightingale frowned. "I can feel the magic power of your body, it is nearing maturity." Two months later, the Months of Demon is your coming-of-age day. You can get a safer one day before you go to camp. ”

    Instead of paying attention to each other, she turned her head and looked at Roland.

    "His Royal Highness, you still remember that you asked me if I want to go back to Karl's school and study with other children like Nana?"

    Roland nodded.

    "I didn't answer at the time, the ones you said later...I don't care if I live like a normal person," Anna's voice was smooth and natural. "I just want to stay with my Highness, nothing more." ”

    Roland thought he had read Anna's psychology, but now he realized that he didn't understand it at all.

    In the other's eyes, he can't read any emotions. Not dependent, not love, nothing can be seen...Only the bottomless silence.

    He remembered the scene when he first met, and it was such a calm look.

    The difference is that at the moment her face is full of vitality, like a flower bud that is waiting to be placed. She is still not afraid of death, but she no longer expects death.

    "Demonic bite can't kill me," Anna said in a word, "I will beat it."

    Nightingale closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, "...Ok, I know. ”

    "So, will you leave alone?"Roland asked.

    "No, I am staying here too," she pulled up Hood and stood up. "Before the end of Months of Demon, the camp will not move."

    “Why?”Roland was shocked. Did she still have to monitor herself for the whole winter?

    "I think that the chicks who have not experienced the adulthood will not understand its danger. I struggled a few times on the verge of death, and I witnessed the disappearance of my companion. When that day came, I could help her. What if the survival of our genes is most threatened not so much by other biological organisms but by information contained in memes?Nightingale shrugged. "If she didn't get through, I also have experience dealing with the aftermath."

    She went to the door, pulled the dagger, and bowed to Roland again. "So, let go."After that, her figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, leaving no trace of the mist.

    Is this the power of Nightingale? Roland's thought-provoking, silent sound is simply a natural assassin. And from the one-handed dagger, she definitely received training in related fields. In addition to accommodating the same kind, is the Witch Cooperation Association developing its own strength? Or is she already mastering these skills before being recruited into the Cooperation Association?

    There is too little information about this organization. Roland can't find any useful information in memory, but he has a hunch that he will meet with this organization again, as long as he insists on the path of witch farming.

    "It's not too late, go back to sleep," Roland patted the girl's head.

    To his surprise, Anna opened his hand and walked out of the room without saying a word.

    Closing the door, the light was isolated behind her, and the shadow shrouded her. She leaned against the door panel and was no longer calm in the eyelids like the lake.

    She raised her head, held her arm in front of her face, and whispered in a few unspeakable voices.
