I don't know how long, when the nightingale woke up, found that his hands were tied to a wooden pile, and his waist and feet were tied in a circle of rope.Try to struggle, the body and the wooden pole are tightly pressed together, completely unable to move.

She wanted to use her abilities, but the familiar feeling did not appear—her connection to the magic seemed to be cut off.The Nightingale bowed her head and found herself with a transparent angular stone hanging around her neck.

“You’re awake,” Haqqara walked up to her, “how does petrified venom feel?”Honestly, I had high hopes for you, Nightingale.But you have failed my expectations.”

“...” The Nightingale took a deep breath, “You’re going to have a lock on God’s punishment, Hucka’, do you know what you’re doing?”The shackles that the church used to suppress the witch are now being used by their teachers against her kind!What annoyed her even more was that the crowd around her looked at her and did not seem to think that there was anything wrong with it.Damn it, the nightingale cries in your heart, don't you realize that you are becoming the kind of person that witches once hated the most?

“It’s just a tool, and occasionally there are bad kids who can’t listen to the teachings who need to be punished.”Hakkara said indifferently, “And you, Nightingale, are the one who needs to be punished.”Or... should I call you Veronica?A woman who came from an aristocratic family but became a witch, and still thinks of climbing high?”

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

"You have disappointed me so much that when Wendy rescued you from the clutches of the nobles, I thought you would be firmly on the side of the co-op.Look at what you have done now, and just as you are about to find the Holy Mountain, you want to make this great situation a failure!”Hakalla shook his head and laughed, “Take the sisters to a prince?”If you are kept in captivity for too long, servility has been ingrained, you have to find yourself a master to know how to live; or not... you just want to sell them to the nobles in exchange for your former status!”

“Everything I did was for the sisters of the conference,” the Nightingean pushed down the anger, and it made no sense to scold, “I hope they don’t have to be destroyed by the day of awakening, I hope they can live a life that they don’t have to worry about eating and wearing.”I also have no intention of blocking your plans, and the sisters should have the right to freely choose their way of life.The town is undergoing earth-shaking changes, and the steam engine drawings I brought with me are one of them, it can operate on its own, and its strength is endless.With this machine, you can hang water directly from the moist, without having to run for it every day.”

Hakala laughed twice, “Is that what you’re talking about?”She turned, pulled a parchment roll from the hand of a witch behind her, and raised it in front of the nighting, "Although I can't understand what is painted above, but a pile of frozen iron pieces can act autonomously like a living creature."“Are you three years old?”

She went to the fire-pot and threw the paper roll into the burning charcoal.

“No!”The Nightingale shouted in vain, watching the design become ashes in the fire.

"My patience has run out, and now I give you one last chance," Hakalla drew an iron vertebrae from the pot, and the front of the iron vertebrae had burned red, "if you confess to all the sisters of the Communist Party and confess that you have been deceived by the nobles, I can spare your life, but the flogging is inevitable, this is the lesson of your credulous enemy."If you are still stubborn, I will have to use this iron vertebrae to pierce your heart and nail your body to a stake, so that everyone can take warning."She said word for word, "Don't miss my last kindness, say your decision."

The nightingale looked at a little near its iron vertebrae, and could even feel the burning heat coming from the tip of the cone.If it was the cowardly self of the former, I am afraid that I would have been wrong long ago?But she had said goodbye to the past, and was no longer that timid girl.She was a Nightingale, a powerful witch, and death could not bring her to the knees.

She closed her eyes and waited for the last moment.Somehow, Roland's figure appeared in the nightingale's mind.

“Stop!”Someone shouted, she shiver and opened her eyes.When Wendy emerged from the crowd, he said to Hakalla, “Teacher, look at the white cloth wrapped around your arm, we’ve been through so much parting, do you want to add one more?”

“Are you even deceived by her?”Wake up, Wendy, those are just lies!”

“I don’t know,” Wendy shook her head, “and I didn’t plan to go with her to the border town, but I think she was right that the sisters should have the right to choose their way of life.”

She turned around and asked aloud, “Does anyone want to leave with her?”

No one in the crowd answered, and the scene fell into silence.

"So let her go alone," Wendy said. "She didn't do anything to harm the meeting, and I can't watch you kill her."

The Nightingale has thus fully understood what Wendy meant.She could not help but a sigh of sorrow, even Wendy, did not fully believe in herself.So she kept quiet when she needed her help to convince people.But she was still the kind-hearted witch who cared for everyone, and even if she did not agree with her views, she would lend a hand.

After Wendy said this, the sound of the intersecting ear came from the crowd, and then several people stood up.

"Yes, since she wants to return to the world, let her go."

"The Church and the Sickness have taken away too many of our sisters, Master, and please think twice."

“Shut up all for me!”Haqqara exaspered, “So let her go, what about the second and third nightingales?”If she sells the location of our camp to the church, we have nowhere to run!”Without a word, she stabbed the iron vertebrae in her hand, and Wendy took a step faster, first rolling up a strong wind and blowing Halaka out.

Then she threw a coin, raised her hand, and the rushing current wrapped around it, and whizzed away at the nightingale.The airflow disappeared instantly as it approached the nightingale, but the coin remained inertial flight, accurately hitting the god penalty stone in front of her neck.

The crystal clear angular stone is broken.

“The traitor!”Hakkar rose from the ground and screamed, holding out her left and right hands toward Wendy and Anna, respectively, two snake shadows appeared out of thin air, one with an open mouth, and biting hard on Wendy's back, but one was empty.

The rope slid to the ground, still as it was tied, but the nightingale was nowhere to be seen.

Thinking of each other's abilities, Hakala sweated cold, she mobilized all the magic, flashing all the luster of the magic snake from her chest, forming a snake wall, and at the same time retreating sharply -

But the nightinge was faster than her.

Just one step... just one step out, she was already behind Haqqara.Hands forward, the iron vertebrae that should have stabbed the heart of the nightingale, so straight through Hakkara's body.
