The so-called "potion" didn't have to be a pill to take effect, and she had never told the nobles that their magic could attach to anything - swallowing a small pill was convenient for controlling the amount, but it also made them ignore the crucial point.

At that intimate feast, Dai Lan exercised her power over all food and drink, and it was only on such absurd occasions that the nobles' defenses against her were minimized.

It turns out that when the pleasure accumulates to a high enough level, it can be just as lethal as the pain. By the time the participants realized that the pleasure was coming too violently, it was already too late. One by one, they clutched their chests and fell down convulsively, even if they didn't eat much, their hands and feet were weak, and they looked like they were in a trance, as if they were enjoying the ultimate happiness in the world.

The female slaves in the house immediately fled in fright, and the guards had no time to stop them, and Dai Lan and Momo also took advantage of the chaos to run out of the manor.

After that, it was the path of exile to Tibet.

It wasn't until they heard the news of the Great Migration of Grey Castle that the two decided to try their luck at Sunken Pond Bay.

"I see...... Wendy reached out and took them into her arms, "you've suffered a lot along the way, haven't you?" ”

"You...... Don't you dislike us?" Dai Lan bit her lip.

"Why dislike it, because of the bad past?" Wendy said softly, "If I say that, I've almost been treated like this by the church." There is no reason to blame the victim for such a thing, other than the perpetrator. ”

"But our ability ...... It will only bring misfortune to people. Dai Lan clenched his fists.

"That's not up to you. ”

"However, once you have experienced that kind of pleasure, you will never forget it, and your demands will only get higher and higher, and in the end you will not care about anything but pleasure...... I'm afraid to ...... if I stay here."

"Afraid that His Majesty will not be able to control it, or will he see you as potential demons?" Wendy reassured, "Don't worry, Your Majesty...... Well, although he doesn't look like a king, he is definitely an unusually good man. ”

Dai Lan was stunned, "Unusual...... Good people?" it was the first time she had heard the royal family describe it in such words.

This means that you can never guess what he thinks, and you can't judge his actions by convention. Therefore, any prior worries and fears are meaningless, and trust is the most important thing. Wendy's voice suddenly became unusually soft, "That's how the Aid sisters were rescued. ”

After a moment of silence, she looked at Momo, "By the way, what you just said about 'your' ability, isn't Momo also-"

This time, the two hesitated for a longer time, and finally Mo Mo took the initiative to speak, "The previous master didn't want me to use my ability anymore, so he gouged out my alienated eyes after awakening. ”

Wendy had already noticed this, and on Momo's face, a dirty rag was diagonally covering half of her forehead, and she thought it was trying to cover up a scar like a burn or a tattoo, but she didn't expect it to be more serious than that.

After the other party finished speaking, he slowly removed the rag on his head, revealing the hollow eye sockets below.

"But they didn't know that doing so would only cost me half of my sight, and that only the Divine Punishment Locks could really block it. ”

Wendy couldn't help but sigh, a witch who can fully combine magic with her body is called a transcendent. And Momo's situation obviously has nothing to do with the extraordinary, nine times out of ten is that the ability happens to act on the "vision", which makes the eyes suffer from unwarranted disasters.

"Those nobles didn't take Momo's abilities to heart at first, until something happened later that they let their master do something to her. Dai Lan whispered, "They called Momo the Son of Hell, and they used all kinds of punishments on her, and she almost didn't survive. ”

Wendy caressed her scarred eyes lovingly, "What did you see, can you tell me?"

Momo lowered his head, "...... A number. ”

"What?"

"A countdown number that indicates a deadline. ”

Wendy struggled to react, and she couldn't help but gasp.

"Could it be that the change that Dai Lan is talking about—"

Momo nodded, "It came true." A nobleman, who had only one left, died the following year. ”

Wendy couldn't help but be silent.

She knew why the nobles did this—the time limit was hard for anyone to accept, especially when the numbers were only a few years old. Even she herself did not expect an answer from this ability.

"But...... Is it really possible?" Wendy thought for a moment, "after all, accidents can happen at any time." ”

The two were stunned.

"What's wrong, did I say something wrong?"

"No......" Dai Lan waved his hand repeatedly, "I just think...... Your attitude is different from everyone else's, and you will ask for the details of your abilities first. ”

"Oh, what do you expect me to do?"

Dai Lan replied with some embarrassment, "Push Momo away, ask her if she has any powers, and then kick us out of the castle as far away from here as possible." ”

Wendy smiled dumbly, "Ability is not good or bad, the key is the person who uses it." In addition, the more detailed you know, the easier it will be to use it in the future. ”

"What do you think...... Will my ability be useful?" Momo said in disbelief.

"I can't say exactly, but Your Majesty has told me that every witch's abilities will always have a purpose, and that if you don't have it now, you won't have it in the future. ”

She stood for a moment before slowly replying, "This ability does not predict accidents, I have seen some animals still have numbers on their heads for years before they are about to be slaughtered. But ......"

"But what?" Wendy asked.

"Some of the numbers are not the same color...... I don't know what that means, but I always feel like there should be a difference. ”

"If you're willing to join the League of Witches, you'll soon find out why—after all, the first thing every new joiner has to do is learn how to control their abilities and test every aspect of it. Only if you have a deep enough understanding can you get further promoted. ”

"Jin ...... Liter?" Dai Lan wondered.

"As you'll see, awakening magic is just the beginning, and there's a lot more to learn. Wendy stretched out her hands to the two, "Well, have you made a decision?"

Dai Lan and Momo glanced at each other.

"If that's what you can accept, ......"

"We are willing to join the League of Witches. ”

They cautiously stretched out their hands, as if with uneasiness and temptation, mixed with longing and hope, and slowly put them into Wendy's palms.
