Looking for witches every day

"The old nobleman? The new king?" Heloise felt strange about this development, but it was also a little inexplicably familiar.

The little apprentice was hoarse, and scratched his hair in a tangle. He was just hearing the story, and it would be really difficult for him to tell the story.He grinned, showing a row of white teeth towards Heloise, and blurted out with a smirk.

The old priest shook his head: "Go and pack your luggage first."

The little apprentice heaved a sigh of relief, and ran away as if he was about to receive an amnesty, perhaps thinking that he could leave, his steps were brisk.

The old priest put away his wand cherishingly, and his long-time partner told them the reason: "This new king is familiar to the residents of Boa City. He is the original Earl Hansen. This earl inherited the throne from the previous king. When he was young, he followed the king and advised the king. You can take a look when you go out, the big manor behind our branch of the Priests Union is his. I heard that he plans to build it as brilliant as a palace and castle, and finally Incorporate this branch of priests into his manor territory. The Priests Union has always existed independently of the royal family, of course we don’t want to. We received the news in advance that the young and promising priests left to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, fearing that he would succeed to the throne and implement Law, put us all on the list as slaves."

Heloise listened carefully, and raised her doubts: "I don't think you left early, you don't look that worried."

The old priest nodded approvingly: "Miss observes very carefully, I'm really not worried."

Heloise gave a puzzled look.

The old priest smiled and said: "The new king is already too busy to take care of himself. The sparse residents of the royal city and the gradually collapsing defense system will make his throne a little unstable, and he won't have time to care about it anymore. But just Like my little apprentice said, you should leave early. The new king just hasn’t had time to enforce his laws, and the martial law in Boia City will only get tighter.”

"Ma'am, then we can't stay any longer, we should wait until we leave Boa City before taking a good rest." Irene rarely spoke.After speaking of her wishes, Irene asked the old priest about Heloise's condition with great concern, "Master Priest, I wonder if Madam's current condition can make it to the next town?"

Hearing Irene, who had been neglected as the background, the old priest stared at her twice, then shook his head: "Not suitable, it's better to leave after a full rest, otherwise the trauma caused by the contract will be very difficult. Almost fully recovered. Of course, it would be nice to have a comfortable scooter if you can."

The old priest had just finished speaking, and the echo was still echoing in the almost evacuated hall, followed by the childish voice of the pupil.

"Teacher, I have finished packing."

After speaking, the little apprentice trotted over.

The old priest stood up unhurriedly: "It's time for us to leave."

Heloise followed suit: "My lord, the journey is going well."

Amelia and Irene also bent over as a farewell.

Heloise watched the old priest and the young apprentice leave. After the door squeaked twice, the hall returned to calm.

The three people stood facing each other in a triangle, their eyes met from time to time, and they looked at each other silently, only slight gasps could be heard.

A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Heloise's mind.

She remembered why the description of the "old nobleman" and the new king sounded familiar.

"The new king, have we met before when he first came to Boa?" Heloise said bluntly.

The two people on the opposite side showed a pensive look.Irene shook her head quickly, Amelia recalled a little longer.

Heloise saw that he was about to shake his head, but she nodded repeatedly as if she met something suddenly.

Amelia said: "Oh, yes, ma'am. I was a little impressed when you reminded me. I remember that when we came to Dries, we were greeted by a well-looking old nobleman. I don't know if it is him. He He is at least twice the age of the former king, and he takes great care of the Duke."

Yes.

Heloise nodded, they wanted to go together.

What she recalled was the old nobleman, who gave her a bad first impression.

Heloise vaguely remembered that time when they guessed and said something she didn't understand, which sounded like a big secret.She couldn't remember the specific content clearly, but the image of the hypocritical aristocrat in her memory was deeply in her mind.

In recollection, more clearly than anything else.

If memory is like a blurred painting, the old nobleman is the clearest point of light in the whole painting.

"He became the king. Could the death of the former king and Dominica have something to do with him? Is he the only beneficiary?"

Although she didn't believe that Dominica was dead, Heloise could only imagine that for the time being.

Amelia said uncertainly: "The former king had no queen, no children, and he did not choose any successor. Anyone could."

"But he is second only to the king in dealing with the affairs of the kingdom." Irene added appropriately, she looked less sad.

Yes, this Earl Hansen must be the most ambitious, and he is the most suspicious.

But there are still doubts.

"Also, the little apprentice mentioned that the death conditions of the people who died in the palace and castle were very horrific. The priest also saw it, and I can't imagine the horrific death conditions confirmed by the priest." Heloise pointed out .

"Ma'am, you..." Amelia provoked the conversation and wanted to say something, but Heloise turned her head away, and his words stopped abruptly.

Under Heloise's gaze, Amelia's mouth turned sharply, and her tone became much calmer: "Madam, no matter how much we guess, it is impossible to guess the cause and effect of an event that we have not witnessed. "

He was trying to persuade Heloise not to think about it.

What does Amelia know.

By the way, he said, 'he went to see, everyone died'.

Heloise frowned.

Amelia interrupted Heloise's thoughts by raising her hand, and said, "Madam, I think we should also leave. I'll go find a carriage and let you take a proper rest."

Before Heloise had time to say anything, Amelia had already gone out, and the sound of closing the door made Heloise's ears tingle.

Heloise felt in her heart that the attitudes of the two of them were not very cordial, maybe caring, but maybe apart from caring, there was also a sense of alienation running through them.

Heloise didn't wait too long before she heard the sound of hooves outside and the heavy snorting of the monster.

Heloise and Irene came out one after the other, closing the door of the Priest Union again.

I saw that Amelia was holding a unicorn that was obviously injured a little and was very short. Behind the unicorn was a big carriage, which looked very unbalanced, making one wonder whether it could take on this task. .

"Sorry, ma'am, I only found this living unicorn. All the others in the city who could run were almost dead, and the stronger ones were all in the pocket of the new king. When I saw it, it was hiding in the corpse of a monster. Amelia briefly explained what happened, and added, "Although it looks a little smaller, it is still very capable." He patted the unicorn on the back to prove that he was right.

The unicorn snorted and bumped into Amelia restlessly.

This unicorn is not low on resistance.

Heloise was a little dazed, she felt that the scene in front of her was a little familiar.

Amelia didn't hear the answer, so she patted her chest again, and made a promise in a big victory: "Don't worry, madam, I will tame it well."

Heloise turned her eyes away and said absently, "Oh, thank you. Please, Amelia."

"Get in the car." Amelia lifted the curtain for Heloise.

Seeing that Heloise and Irene sat down, they lowered the car curtain and sat in the driving seat.

Amelia pulled the rein, and the unicorn turned around twice before giving him face.

After preliminarily subduing the unicorn, Amelia turned her head to Heloise in the car and asked, "Leaving Boa, shall we go to Dana?"

"...Well, let's go to Dana, I think someone said, it's a beautiful place."

The unicorn moved slowly with the carriage. In order to avoid the new king's martial law, Amelia chose the remote road and chose the east gate.

Heloise watched the carriage turn from the broad street to the narrow alley that kept turning.

During this period, she didn't see a single person, and heard the voices of any living beings.

Thinking of the new king is like a nihilistic concept, and this place has become an empty city.

They left Boia City smoothly, the so-called martial law is like a joke.

They can already foresee that here, after the people leave the city, they will merge into these two mountains again and become barren.
