Release that Witch Chapter 96: Leaf
Seeing the busy people around, Leaf did not expect that he would have a day close to the secular town.
After entering the Border Town's boundary, the low-rise brick and earthen bungalows appeared like memory, which had been sealed for a long time. It's been less than half a year since she fled into Impassable Mountain Range, but she feels that the sight in front of her is as strange as another world.
Months of Demons has just passed. The townspeople had a bad look and body after winter without clothing and food. Leaf remembers that Cooperation Association passed through the slums -- of the Silver Light City in the winter. There were hungry, frozen and dead bodies everywhere. Like a walking dead, he looked numb and sluggish.
But here, most of the people she saw were full of energy. Some drank dried fish at the door of the house. Some climbed the roof to repair broken tiles. Most of them were strong men carrying hoes and hammers. They Talk to each other and walk towards small town north. When encountering this situation, Leaf will pull down the brim and avoid as much as possible.
The location of the castle is striking, just on a high hillside in the southwest corner of the town. There are no available plants around, and it is very difficult to dive in silently. It's okay to hide in the trunk to avoid the enemy. It would be too big for the tree to get up and send itself in.
She is not witch who is good at hiding her body. After careful consideration, Leaf feels that instead of hiding, she might as well walk into the castle squarely.
If Nightingale didn't lie to her, there would be no problem even if you walked in through the main entrance.
If Nightingale deceives her and Cooperation Association's sisters, she is sure to escape from the pursuit of the two guards in front of the door.
Of course, the worst situation is Nightingale, which totally betrayed everyone and relied on hunting witch to play for the prince, so he will probably die here. As the top combat type witch, few people can escape the pursuit of Nightingale, even if it is as strong as Cara, there is no certainty of victory.
Leaf is ready for the worst. If she fails to go back alive, Scroll will take over the mentorship and lead the sisters to continue. Where is the destination of --, where is their destination, and no one knows the answer.
She walked slowly up the hillside, near the gate of the castle. The guard quickly noticed her, put his hand on the hilt, and shouted loudly: "This is the Prince's Palace, not where you should come, step back!" He added paused, "If it matters, Go straight left along this road and go to City Hall. There will be someone to welcome you. "
Leaf take a deep breath, take off Hood. Unsurprisingly, she saw both of them expressing a surprised expression at the same time, before waiting for the other to return, she said bluntly, "I am a witch."
The moment she said this, she was almost ready for the guards to draw their swords. But the two guards just looked at each other, and there was absolutely no disgust that the average person could not hide when they heard witch. One of them even asked with interest: "witch, do you have anything?"
This response made Leaf's heartbeat abruptly increase. She was under the pressure of excitement that was almost going to spray out, in a calm tone, saying, "I want to see the Nightingale side. Or Anna and Nana can also." >
In the story of Nightingale, witch is a frequent visitor to the castle. His Highness the Prince did not imprison their freedom, and the personal guard guarding the castle, under the direction of Fourth Prince, ignored them when they went in and out of this place ... If Nightingale is true, The guards haven't heard of their names for impossible.
The guard who queried asked patted the partner's shoulder, "You are watching her here, I'll go and tell Her Royal Highness."
Leaf watched him walk into the gate and disappeared into the garden soon.
What will be waiting for you, is it a greet between sisters, a round of guards, or a sharp blade from the shadows?
She found herself in a strange contradiction. She obviously wanted to believe Nightingale, but the closer she got to the answer, the more afraid she was disappointed. Will Nightingale make a makeover here and not call it this name at all? Will she make up Anna and Nana? Or ...
Time has never been so slow! Each heartbeat seemed to span a hundred years. In the long time, she waited quietly for her destiny.
I don't know how long, or just for a moment, she heard the voice of Nightingale -- Kama, she thought she heard it wrong.
A familiar figure emerged from behind the door and swooped at her, arriving almost at the same time as the voice. Then she was embraced by a warm body.
"Leaf, welcome home!"

"This is my spare clothes, you should wear them first," Nightingale rummaged in the cabinet, "and coats, shoes ... Yeah, also need to get a set of pajamas and bath towels."
"What are you anxious for," Wendy shook her head with a smile, "I will wait for Her Royal Highness when I get up, and I will naturally set her up."
Looking at the busy Nightingale, Leaf's eyes became warm again. She sucked her nose, bit her lips tight, and wiped out the tears that turned around. She was afraid that when she opened her tears, she couldn't restrain her eyes.
It turns out that Nightingale didn't lie to itself, and the prince who was willing to treat witch really existed.
"Would you like to take a hot bath first? Tired of coming from camp," Nightingale put bath towels and clothes next to Leaf, "His Highness is taking a nap, and he will be glad to see him when he wakes up Yours. By the way, have you found Holy Mountain? How are the other sisters doing? "
As soon as this sentence was asked, Leaf's vision suddenly became blurred, she could not bear anymore, holding Nightingale, and released the pain of suppressing for several days to bottom of heart.
I cried until Nightingale's chest was soaked, and Leaf gradually calmed down.
Then she told the story of the sisters after they left Cooperation Association. When it comes to the burial of many sisters in the wasteland, she felt that Nightingale could not hold her hand tightly.
After Leaf finished speaking, Wendy's expression became abnormally heavy. "I did not expect Cara would bring Cooperation Association to a dead end. There are only seven of the forty-two sisters ... I also have an unshirkable responsibility. If I was Can stand firmly on the side of Nightingale ... "
"It's not your fault," Nightingale said sadly. "No one can predict the future. The key is what to do next." She looked at Leaf. "You said that six sisters survived, they Where? "
"They are all waiting for my news at the entrance of the canyon. We have made an appointment. If I fail to go back, Scroll will lead them out of this place, or to the far south corner, maybe to the opposite side of the strait ..."
"Then we must get them back quickly," Nightingale said immediately, "I'll leave it to you for set off, Wendy, Leaf."
"Wait, what if they don't believe you? Leaf has to go there and call Lightning. She should practice flying at the west end of the town at this moment. You can take a few more horses to allow sisters Take fewer steps, "Wendy cautioned.
"But His Highness the Prince ... Aren't you still sleeping?" Leaf froze, "Don't you need to ask him?"
"Relax," Nightingale whispered comfortably, "If your Highness knows this, I'm afraid it's too late to be happy."
