Chapter 1268: A Moment of Reunion
"To welcome our new members, cheers!"
In the evening, a long table was set up in the open space in front of the Witches' Building, and a lively welcome party was held. Wendy and Shujuan take the lead and hold them up to the two of them.
"Cheers!" the rest of the witches agreed.
Dai Lan and Momo hugged their cups, looking overwhelmed.
She didn't expect that after she agreed to join the league, she was immediately dragged by Wendy to take an extremely comfortable hot shower, and then changed into a new set of clothes, including underwear, shoes and socks. Before she could recover from her gratitude and weakness, she was brought to the front of the building again, but this time, the lawn had changed.
"At this point, you just shout Cheers and take a sip of the drink in the glass. Lorga demonstrated, "Like meβgrunt-gruntβ"
"Dry ...... Cheers......" Dai Lan plucked up the courage to imitate, then closed his eyes and brought the cup to his lips.
"Tons tons tons tons - "
There was a burst of whistles and applause from the crowd.
"Lorgar is drinking again," Lily pouted, "and who said you have to drink it all in one gulp after a toast, I think she just wants to drink." β
"But it's Evelyn's strawberry white bar, and it's on par with the wolf girl, so I underestimate her. Mystery Moon stammered, "Such a talent must join our detective team." β
"So your group will be slackers and drunkards in the future, and they are indeed very compatible with you. β
"There's still you in the group!" said Mitsuki, cocking her index finger.
"I-no! And you owe me a ten-dollar roll!"
"Uh, forget about it, we can start over. β
"You go away!"
"Hiccupβ" Daylan felt her vision drift as she finished a full glass of wine, she had been forced to drink all kinds of wine with her before, but none of them were as hot as the one she drank now. When the wine enters the throat, it is not bitter, but has a rich mellow aroma, and it is not until it enters the stomach that you can feel that it is far more rich than the ale.
But the biggest difference is not in the drink, but in her mood at the moment.
Watching the wolf girl add a second glass of wine to her glass with great fighting spirit, and looking at the enthusiastic smiles of the witches around her, Dai Lan felt for the first time that drinking alcohol was not such a painful thing. It made me can't help but want to empathize with everyone, and it also made the emotions that had been suppressed in my heart for a long time begin to loosen.
At this moment, another tall woman walked up to her with a wine glass.
"Welcome to Neverwinter, my name is Annie, and I come from the heart of a wolf like you, and even the search for the Bloodfang Society is similar to yours. β
Dai Lan was stunned, "Could it be that you are also ...... by the Blood Fangs?"
"Yes, but I escaped halfway. In addition, there are many witches who have escaped from the wolf's heart to the Grey Keep, such as this one...... "The other party was pulled out from behind a witch who looked a little twisted," and Ife, who was even a member of the Blood Fang Society. She didn't know about Herty Morgan's witch trafficking at the time, but it's all over now. β
It took a long time for Dai Lan to have a general understanding of the founding of the Blood Fang Society, and it turned out that she and Momo were far more than the two of them who were forced to live in Grey Keep due to Herty Morgan's selfish desires. And this nightmare organization also disappeared two years ago.
Hearing this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
On the way to escape, the two dreamed countless times that they were caught by the Blood Fang Society and sent back to the nobles. Now knowing that this organization no longer exists is equivalent to untying a heavy knot in my heart.
"I'm sorry," Ifei said, bowing her head, "If I had stopped Hetty, these things probably wouldn't have happened......"
"It's not your fault," Momo shook his head, "and...... Even if you can stop her, you can't stop those nobles. β
"Indeed, it doesn't really matter if the leader is a witch or not, and without Hetty, someone else will come and make a new deal with them. Dai Lan is well aware of the desires of those people, and as long as they taste the sweetness, they will never let go easily.
"Look, I'm just going to say they won't blame you, right?" Anne laughed, "Now that you're in Neverwinter, you can come to us if you have any problems in the future." Even a confused person like Ifei can live, and I'm sure you'll be fine. β
"Respect the past. With that, she raised her glass.
"Cheers. This time, Dai Lan spoke much more smoothly.
"It's my turn next!" rooka shouted with a flushed face.
"And me!" Lightning joined in, "I'm an adult, I can drink!"
"Goo-goo!"
"You can't, pigeons can't drink. β
"Huh!?"
"Hey, don't just drink, eat something. β
"Nanawa, you're not an adult, don't mess with them!"
The atmosphere on the lawn is getting hotter and hotter.
"It's been a long time since there have been new people joining the alliance, and now there are suddenly two more, and it seems that everyone is very happy. At the long table, the scroll couldn't help but sigh.
"It was the right thing to do to show them around the Witches' Mansion first, and I gradually understood His Majesty's methods. Wendy laughed, "Even if they make contact with the Sleeping Charm first, I'm sure I'll be able to pull the two together." According to His Majesty, this trick is called sugar-coating...... What's coming. β
"You're getting better and better," the book quipped, "and I thought I wasn't good enough at first, but now I'm ready to fight Tilly's idea." β
"I'm just giving you an analogy, like you've been able to get started with everything since your days at the Mutual Aid Society. Wendy poured her a Chaos drink, "But when it comes to that, I never get tired of watching such a lively scene." β
"Unfortunately, we can only watch from the sidelines. The scroll shrugged.
"What's so bad about that, if I can, I want to stay by their side for a long time. Wendy said softly.
The book did not answer again, and the two fell silent, watching the cheerful crowd from afar while enjoying the delicious taste of the dinner. For them, this is not silent, but a tacit understanding formed after a long period of getting along.
Until a familiar voice interjected, "When the banquet is over, Your Majesty wants to meet the witch named Momo." β
The nightingale's form gradually emerged from the mist.
Wendy quickly realized Roland's thoughts, and her originally relaxed expression froze slightly, "This ......"
"Take her there," the scroll began, "and from the moment you report your abilities, something like this is bound to happen. After all, His Majesty's curiosity is stronger than anyone else's. β
Wendy was silent for a moment, "I see. β
"If you don't want to know the answer, just quit first, I think Your Majesty will understand. "But whatever the answer, we'll always be the same, won't we?"
β...... That's right," Wendy said as if repeating as much as self-affirming, "regardless of the answer. β
