When Ai Gesha woke up again, the room was empty, and the thick curtains were closed, making it extra quiet.

Probably considering that he is not familiar with the environment, the candle is always lit by the bedside, and the orange flame is burning quietly.

She looked at it for a long time and found that there wasn't a drop of wax flowing out. The candle was always so long, just like it could never burn.

It should be caused by magic, she thought.

The quilt on the body is very soft, probably woven with a good cotton cloth, filled with a light and warm fluffy core. This kind of treatment is no worse than when you were in the holy city of Taqila. It is hard to believe that there are such comfortable beds and bedrooms in the wild.

With his fingers moving, his physical strength has recovered. Ai Gesha turned to get out of bed, driving the magic, and the cold suddenly overflowed from her fingers. It seems that the prince really did not do any hands and feet, but removed the stone of punishment and gave herself a certain degree of freedom.

She went to the window and opened the corner of the curtain. It was dark outside, I couldn't see the stars, and I couldn't see the moon. The whole earth seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness, leaving only a few miles of fire in the distance. Through the window, she could hear the sound of the wind whizzing outside, and occasionally she could see some snow falling on the glass.

It seems to be winter, and it is also a good season for witches to wake up. In Takira, there is no such night at all, and every day in winter is a day of celebration in the city. The bonfire that burned through the night and disappeared from the tower, as if the entire city was lit. The flash of fire is like a star, symbolizing hope and the future. People pray around the campfire, eager to gather magic, across the realm of mortals. Whenever a witch appears, the fate of her family will change, and there will be no worries.

Ai Gesha pulled up the latch and pushed open the window. The cold wind suddenly merged into the room and the curtains were blown backwards. The candles in the house are also extinguished. The darkness suddenly came in and filled every corner of the room. When the eyes adjust to the darkness, she can see the faint white light reflected from the snow on the roof of the town. From the perspective of the scope of the building, this place is indeed not big, and it is consistent with the border town of the Prince.

In such a cold weather, ordinary people will be frozen when they stay outside for a few hours, but Ai Gesha is not afraid of the cold, so she feels that the slight discomfort of chill will be automatically omitted by the body. When she felt cold, she still had almost forgotten before she was awakened.

Close your eyes, and Ai Gesha’s mind is all the conversation.

The federation died, the witch became the devil's minion, and the mortal relied on the stone of the gods to hunter the witch... From the notes, Akalis and Nataya successfully escaped from the fertile plains, if even None of them can stop this, and the destruction of the Federation is a foregone conclusion.

What happened to the event at that time, so that these two extraordinary are lost to the hands of mortals?

She is simply not willing to continue thinking about it.

"Are you not cold?" suddenly asked someone behind him.

Ai Gesha was shocked. She looked back and saw that in a dim light, a woman sat by the bed, her face completely hidden in the night, like a ghost that quietly emerged. At this point the door was still closed, and I had not heard any footsteps before.

"If you can close the window, I don't mind re-squeezing the candle," she added.

The other party is undoubtedly a witch.

So late, what is she doing?

Ai Gesha nodded quietly, closed the window, and quietly let the thin ice climb a little bit on her skin. The person did not make a dangerous move, but opened the first compartment of the bedside table, took out the fire from it, lit the candle - as the fire lit up, she saw the other side's appearance: a beautiful blond curly hair, long eyebrows, eyes look Very sharp, not a witch who I have seen before.

"First time meeting... No, this is the second time I met," she said, curling her lips. "My name is Nightingale."

It means... she was hidden in the crowd before? “Is this your ability?” Aegusa frowned. “Are you also a high-level awakened person?”

Even if it is a respectable high-ranking witch, it is very rude to sneak in without swearing.

"Ah, you said evolution..." The nightingale shook his head. "I can't be as smart as Anna. I can finish the basics of nature in a short time. Seeing the formula theorems, my head will blow up. Evolution I have probably missed my life in this life."

Half of the short answer did not understand, and Ai Gesha stunned. She didn't expect the words "the original witch" to say such things, and looking at her expression was not like deliberately teasing herself. Is this what the prince said... knowledge?

"That nature... foundation, can you show me?"

"Of course, as long as you are willing to join the Witch Alliance, play for the prince." She shrugged.

"Do you work for a mortal?" Ai Gesha widened her eyes and whispered after a long time. "I thought I was weird enough. I didn't expect you to be more crazy than me."

“Weird? Crazy?” said the night, “Why do you say this?”

"In the holy city of Taqila, most of the awakened people only regard the ordinary people who can't gather magic power as low-ranking servants, inferior people, or ... fertility tools," she said slowly. "But I don't. They think that although they are stupid, they are by no means incurable. As long as they are taught and studied, these people do not do much worse than the witches in most of the things. Because of this, many people think that I am strange in nature, actually will be in the tower. Some of the affairs were handed over to the mortal. I didn’t expect you to go further than me, and even recognize a mortal as the main force.

"His Royal Roland did not regard us as a servant," said the night. "I don't know what kind of strange understanding you have about the word "effectiveness," but the fact is that he has taken over the witches who have been oppressed by the church and given them new sisters. The power of the people and the people living together in the land of the West, everyone together with the church, the evil beasts, and will fight the devil together in the future."

"But this model proved to be a failure!" Ai Gesha could not help but increase the volume. "More than 400 years ago... For you, it was 800 years ago, it was made by mortals and witches." In the era of co-governance, humans were almost all over the entire territory. However, in the face of the attack of the devil, the result was defeated, leaving only the corner of the fertile plain."

“Hey?” She raised her eyebrows. “And this kind of thing?”

"You said that this buried history has passed for more than four hundred and fifty years," Aegusa continued. "According to the records of the Federation, the third battle of God will soon begin, and you are right. The devil knows nothing! The east of the wild land is the sea of ​​whirlpools. Where can you retreat? Only by reorganizing the federations, uniting the witches and increasing the probability of high-level awakening according to those knowledge will it be possible to grasp the last A chance to block the pace of the devil's attack!"

"Why do you have to say this?"

"what?"

"It’s been more than four hundred years now? Four hundred years can change a lot of things. Why are you still holding on to the previous concept and not letting go?" The night sighed. "The sentence when you are leaving, Hearing, mortals can defeat the devil. He is also doing things to unite everyone, but it is not just a witch. He wants to unite every ordinary person on the mainland. He told me that the people all over the mainland are the most powerful. Group."

"Abandonment -" Ai Gesha just wanted to refute this nonsense and suddenly stopped. The other party said so positively, as if the results have been seen. Can four hundred years really change this? Could it be that the gray-haired prince had such incredible power that the mortal could have the power of a beautiful witch?

"You seem to have realized it," the nightingale smiled. "The time is still very long. Why don't you put down your heart and confirm with your own eyes?"

This time, Ai Gesha’s silence was very long. “...I can see that you don’t like me.”

The other party did not refute.

"The witches of the Detective Association often look at me with such a look - since I knew that I was using a group of mortals as experimental assistants in the tower," she said. "You obviously don't like me, why do you want to tell me this?"

"As long as you converge on the arrogance and treat you as normal, I can't talk about how much you hate you, as for the latter..." She paused, "because His Royal Highness said that he does not want to see you being tempted by the times." Abandoned."
