Release that Witch Chapter 44: Hidden answer
Roland It was late when it returned to the castle, and the snow outside was heavy again.
He went into the bedroom, took off his jacket, shook off the snow from the neckline, and hung it on a hanger by the fireplace.
"Your Highness, don't you think this has been done too quickly?"
Nightingale appears in front of the prince.
"Is Nana?" Roland gave himself and the other party pour a cup wine. Although this ale is much bitter than later generations of beer, he has gradually become accustomed to this taste.
Nightingale took the cup and held it in his hand without drinking --. She was waiting for the prince's answer.
"There is no better time than now," Roland drank the wine and filled himself again. "If you want to play the Nana ability in Months of Demons, impossible will conceal the identity of witch. It can heal instantly A fatal injury is by no means ordinary herbal medicine or bloodletting, and everyone can think of it.
"Trust this small town blessing that falls outside the border of Western Region, Church has a very limited impact on this place. -- I would not be willing to squander gold royal at this time. Place, "Roland continued," there is no small church in the town, and the missionary returned to Longsong Stronghold early with noble. What do you think of Border Town at this time? An isolated island that has been cut off from the outside world. "
"... Is this what you planned for?" Nightingale asked.
Roland nodded, "The heavy snow will bury the road to Longsong Stronghold, and the shipping of dock is in my hands. We have at least three months to reverse the view that" witch is evil ". If it is only publicity, the effect is extremely limited, and it is necessary to contact in close proximity to quickly eliminate this level of misunderstanding. "
That's why he wanted to stay Nana anyway. He wanted to create a strange version of Nightingale.
As the legendary nurse took care of the wounded with all his efforts, the death rate of the wounded dropped sharply from 42% to 2%. As a result, he was named the goddess of lantern by the soldiers, and even raised the reputation of the entire nurse profession to worship.
And Nana's ability is even more amazing. Heal trauma through magic power, as long as he did not die on the spot, he can get back a life. This is probably more effective for the morale boost of the militia team than any weapon.
At the same time, thanks to her father's renown noble, she often deals with hunter and farmers on weekdays. She treats civilians very peacefully, and even allows Nana to study at school run by Karl teacher. Changing to other noble, even the baron with the lowest rank, would not be willing to have a relationship between their daughter and this group of people. -- In their eyes, these people are so-called pariahs.
"Can these ... really do it?" Even Nightingale, in front of a behemoth like Church, seemed extremely weak.
"Without taking this step, you never know the answer."
Roland didn't expect people in the entire town to change their views because of this, but at least the new team he formed should hold firmly in his hands, and later rely on these seeds from the people to promote his ideas Come on.
Three months is enough to change a lot of things.
Nightingale was silent for a moment before whispering: "Why do you do this for witch?"
In order to liberate productivity and to make yourself more powerful, there is a place in the future struggle for the throne --. Of course, these answers are not suitable to be said at this time. Although Roland is a mechanical dog, various GALGAMEs have also played a lot. Two decades of experience reminded him that at this time he was facing a key issue of answer.
He considered the words, and said slowly, "Did I tell you earlier, Border Town doesn't care about origin. I hope that one day, even witch, I can be like a free man in my territory. Life. "
This time Nightingale was silent for a long time, and there was only the crackling sound of charcoal burning in the room. Her side face was illuminated by the unpredictable flames, like a beautiful picture.
When she spoke again, Roland had the illusion of time to resume flow. "In fact, you don't need to do this," her voice is remote and soft, "please forgive me for lying to you before ... Cooperation Association sisters Bian Pei has been away for a long time, they do n’t have much extravagant hope, they just want a place to settle down and be satisfied, even in this castle. "
"What's the difference with the cage," Roland shook his head, then suddenly seemed to understand, staring at Nightingale, "Wait ... you mean, would you like to bring them over?"
Nightingale sighed, avoiding the sight of the prince, "In this way, you will be the enemy of Church."
"Their hands have been stretched too long," Roland disapproved. "As soon as the slogan from the monarchy came out, it would be sooner or later for Church to conflict with the mainland countries. As for Border Town, as long as you spend the three months smoothly There is not much they can do. It ’s a thousand miles away from Church Lao Wo. Does the bishop take the brigade Judgement Army across the entire Greycastle to sue me? My father will never allow such things to happen, which is majestic to the royal family. Seriously provocative. "
"..."
When Nightingale left saluting, Roland lay down on the bed, released a long breath.
He didn't say everything, Church is thousands of miles away, and according to the speed of news spread in this world, I am afraid that it will come after the end of spring. Coupled with the long distance and the status of your own prince, the other party is most likely to send an envoy to find out situation.
I ’m afraid I will be half a year. By then you should have the strength to break with them.
So, the biggest hidden danger lies not in Church, but in witch itself.
This is only visible in Roland.
Although witch is at a disadvantage now, this situation will not last forever. witch does not rely on blood lineage, but random awakening with no regular pattern. This means that witch impossible is driven out and killed, and they will only be more and more.
Church can still maintain the advantage of witch with God Punishment Stone, but this advantage can only be used to offset magic power. For now, witch awakening has not only given them a variety of abilities, but even physical fitness, thinking response, and even appearance have a tendency to exceed ordinary people.
They are essentially "new humans".
The more brutal the oppression, the more fierce the resistance. When a riot led by witch is set off, how much damage will be caused to Greycastle? The hatred bred by Church, once it is out of control, is likely to turn into an indiscriminate hatred for all the people of the kingdom.
Roland does not want to see such situation happen.
So he needs to start from Border Town, build a structure that can accommodate both, and promote it to the entire Greycastle, and even the mainland kingdom.
A world where witch is compatible with ordinary people.
