"It's too ......"

Devonne's face was so gloomy that she was about to wring out black water, Ophelia had used her natural abilities to conduct a comprehensive physical examination of the Al Ain sisters, and the results she received made her speechless.

There are too many scars on Ain's body, and according to Ophelia's judgment, the longest burn scar should have been formed three years ago, and then the old and new scars continued, and they have continued to this day, which means that it is not surprising that Ain has been devastated by ** in the past three years.

Heathtina didn't have a cover-up witchcraft similar to Ain's, but it wasn't without problems, Ophelia found that there were many dark wounds and a large number of residual traces of magic in her brain, many of which blocked the normal functioning of the brain and clotted a lot of dangerous blood clots, and even after clearing, the damage to the brain was difficult to recover.

And the two of them are only about fourteen years old.

"I've checked carefully, and there are indeed traces of Rhea's subordination on them, but now that they are in a state of active betrayal, it is impossible for Rhea to trace the two of them based on this thing. ”

"Traces of subordination?"

It was a foreign word to Hodge, and he had never heard Daphne mention it before.

"Each witch councillor has the obligation to contain the newborn witches in the area under their responsibility, and when the newborn witches are placed in the councillor's account, they usually apply a specific spell, that is, a subordinate mark, to better protect the witches, and also have the effect of restraining the witches. ”

"The power of the councillors? I think you said you were also members of the council, so Hera and I should have your subordinate mark on us?"

Devany shook her head and said, "No, I've always been too lazy to pay attention to the affairs of the council, and I don't have the heart to do it under the sigil or something, not to mention that I may only adopt a witch in twenty or thirty years, what good can I do with this thing?"

"Leia has gone too far in this matter, the number of witches awakening is getting smaller and smaller, we should support each other for whatever reason, even as a councillor, she is only a leader and not a slave, I will send a letter to the council for this matter, Leia must be judged. ”

Devonne's tone could be heard to implicit anger, and he remembered that Hera had only felt the same feeling from Daphne during that incident.

However, Hodge thought for a while, still shook his head, pinched the small parts he picked up, and said, "Your idea is too naïve, do you think Leia will admit that she has done such a thing? Although she doesn't know your system, two humble little witches can be more credible than a councilor? ”

From the previous conversation, he already got to know this Leia somewhat.

Like Daphne, this Rhea is also one of the few members of the Witches' Council, and is a rather high-profile person, unlike other witches who hide and hide from people's whereabouts, directly leading her members to occupy a castle, communicating with the surrounding city-states with skillful means, and it is said that she has also been protected by a big man, and has not been defeated by the Wizards' Guild for so many years.

It can be said that she can almost be regarded as the first person to make witches public, long before Hodge, and because of this, many powerful witches have gathered under her command.

The influence of such a figure in parliament must be unimaginably high, and it is only for someone like Devonie, who is older but has not had much contact with complex struggles, to come up with a proposal to make a "small report" to the parliament.

"Is that all?"

Devine gritted her teeth: "How old were they three years ago? They were only about ten years old, and Leia was so mad that she was so mad. ”

"Of course not, okay, I'll take care of this matter, your focus is still on the city affairs of Antler Bay. ”

Hodge felt a dilemma when he thought of Daphne's character, and it was important to him that according to her idea, she would inevitably pay a considerable price to defeat Rhea, which was contrary to his plan, and even if the final action would be the same, the process and benefits would be completely different, which was quite important to him.

"Borch. ”

The little golden dragon immediately flew out of the spatial vortex.

"How long is it until Phase 4?"

Borch flapped his wings, thought for a while and said: "It won't be too long, now it's mainly stuck in resources, the resource output in this area of Antler Bay is too biased, and many materials need to wait." ”

"And what about the resources of the three cities of Sinla, Vambia, and Uhe?"

Borch was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "What, you finally figured it out and are ready to eat these three cities?"

As it has mentioned before, the resources of Antler Bay are too scarce for the previous stages of development, and the annexation of these three towns near Antler Bay will be of great help to development.

"Two years, I've waited long enough, the team in the west has almost captured the imperial capital, with the help of the apostles' beasts, it is only a matter of time before the imperial capital is annexed, this is only the result of one or two apostles, as far as I know, the number of apostles should be seven, the terrifying bald head called Russ doesn't know where to go, and it's not a good thing to drag it out. ”

After that trip to the ancients, Hodge's sense of the danger of the end of the world became stronger and stronger, and he knew very well that what humanity was about to face was far beyond all fears, and it was impossible to resist it in the current scattered pattern.

Human strength must be tightened in one place, and ordinary methods cannot achieve this purpose in any way, and since only force is the law of solution, he does not mind sticking out his fangs.

"The reason? There is always a reason for the battle between cities. Borch said.

Now the pattern of the continent is still a war between nobles, even if there are belligerent voices everywhere, but the nobles have to look like nobles, except for the tyrants in the west, other siegers will always find justifiable reasons to show that they are the righteous side.

For example, the seven cities on the border between the North and the West conquered by Marquis Raymond were used to revive the glory of the empire and crusade against the villains of the West, while another Marquis of the North who was similar to him was accustomed to slandering the other party for violating his nineteenth lover, even if he only had one lady and sixteen lovers.

Whether it is ridiculous or not, the reason is an important premise for starting a war, which shows that everyone is still playing within the rules and will not provoke a joint attack by multiple forces.

"Isn't the reason already in front of us?"

Hodge put his hands behind his back and said righteously: "All for humanity." ”

Borch tilted his head and sighed, black smoke from the flames' inadequately burning flames coming out of his teeth.

"Although I know you're telling the truth, no matter how you think about it, I still feel like it's shameless!"

Hodge gave Ain a day of rest, compared to yesterday, her complexion recovered a lot, the coldness between her eyebrows and eyes also improved, even the most stupid person should understand that the witch of Antler Bay had nothing to do with what she said about Leia, otherwise how could she treat her body, give her medicine and food, and even let Heatina talk with her for a while.

But that doesn't mean she's going to be grateful to Hodge, who's matured quickly over the years, never mind speculating with the greatest malice, and knowing that the crisis was over, she naturally thought about what to do next.

It seemed that the strange male wizard was the leader here, and as long as the value represented in Hodge's eyes, the more benefits she could receive, and perhaps it would not be better than embarking on a difficult wandering journey with Heatina, but that did not mean that she liked it, especially Heatina had to bear it with her.

At the moment, the way to make your chips heavier is to put some blushes on Hodge to make him understand that he won't play for him so easily, so as to achieve the effect of elevating himself.

Unfortunately, before the implementation began, the plan was aborted.

Hodge walked to her bed, didn't say anything, just reached out and grabbed her mouth and nose, didn't look at her blushing face, turned his head to the side and silently whispered.

"Woooooooooooo

Ai Yin's face turned from red to white and then to blue, and soon there was a feeling of suffocation.

Going to die here?

"Almost. Hodge nodded, letting go of his powerful palm.

"Ahh

"Your eyes just now are no different from yesterday, I think this will make you more aware of your current situation. ”

Hodge said indifferently: "Sign this." ”

It was a piece of paper, Ain could read the words on it, and the witch's awakening was not only her own power, but also the liberation of a part of her natural wisdom, and although she suffered a lot in Rhea's castle, she also learned to read and write words.

"It's a slave's contract!"

Ain exclaimed, the contents of this piece of paper, although not as good as the actual slave contract, were not much worse, and it stated that from now on he would be bound and blamed, and that he must obey all of Hodge's orders.

"I'm not your slave!"

"And yet you are. ”

Hodge stretched out his hand again, pinched Ain's jaw, and said with a cold face: "The guards who pursued you were repelled by my people, your life was given by me, your injuries were healed by me, the food you ate was provided by me, and even the clothes on your body were made by me overnight, since you entered Antler Bay, your whole person belongs to me, this piece of paper is just a form in the end, recognize your current situation, poor Ain." ”

He already knew the names of the two sisters from other people.

"What if I don't sign it. Al Yin glared at Hodge as well.

Hodge said leisurely: "Then you will be kicked out of this house, reduced to beggars, no food, no clothes, no water, these are not the worst, the worst thing is that I am in a bad mood and may inform Leia and ask her to send someone to fetch you back." ”

This sentence poked at Ain's pain point.

She desperately picked up the candlestick next to her and threw it at Hodge's face, but the man's delicate arm was firmly grasped.

"You're a devil!"

"Devil?" Hodge sneered, "That's because you don't know what the real devil looks like." ”

"I'm just ...... dead"

"Death, is it terrible to die?" Hodge said to him disdainfully, "You can die alone, but what should your sister, Heatina, do?" ”

"You!

Hodge grabbed her other waving arm and held it together.

"But if you sign this contract, I may try to treat your sister when I'm in a good mood, but your sister is in a bad condition, and I can only say try. ”

Ain's struggling hands softened, Heathena was her absolute weakness, and that weakness was now in Hodge's hands.

"You...... Really?"

"You can think I'm joking. ”

"That'...... Good. ”

Hodge withdrew his hands in satisfaction.

"Very good, but don't try to perfunctory me in the future, my contribution to your sisters is not gratuitous, any resources invested in you, I have to see double or higher returns, if you never get anything, you will find how fast I can discard things. ”

"For your future, for your sister's future. ”

"You can struggle, but you can't resist. ”
