“The most elite samurai of the church are also the top-secret weapons against the transcending witches,” said Ash, “they have no power and speed than I am, and...” She hesitated, “they seem to have no power or power.”When I fought, I cut off the right hand of a divine punishment army, but he did not hesitate to use his left hand to my eyes, even if I turned around to escape, his actions were not much affected by this has nothing to do with the will, and then strong people can maintain their fighting spirit even after breaking their arms, but the balance of losing an arm cannot be adapted in the short term.”

“I have only heard of the judgmental armies of the church,” murmured Wendy, “and since they have such powerful samurai, why have they not been seen in all the time when they were rounded up?”

“I don’t know,” said the Ashes slowly, “even the name of the God-sincented army was heard from some of the population when I returned to the Old Holy City.”

“Have you... been back?”Wendy was surprised.

"Well, how could it be easy to let go of the dross," she said, getting up and walking to the window, "I have attacked a few small churches and a trial army station afterwards."There happened to be a presiding judge in the station, and I thought they were really not afraid of death at all."In the face of death and suffering, the other party behaves no better than the civilian, will show the look of fear, and will also ask for forgiveness.“From his mouth, I learned the name of the God-sin-law army.They were all judged armies transformed by ritual, and only the best samurai could receive this honor, and acceptance of conversion must be made out of voluntariness, as if the rate of success and the firmness of will were of great importance.In other words, unlike witches, the divine chasing army is not natural or because of natural talent, but artificially modified.”

“...” Wendy was so shocked by the news that she could not speak.

“I guess they can’t put the punishment army in combat like they used the judgment, maybe because of the side effects of transformation.A samurai who has lost his mind is, in a sense, no different from a monster.”The Ashes sighed, “During that time, I hid in waterways or deep wells during the day, and came out at night to attack churchgoers until the church launched a city-wide search and was forced to evacuate from the Old Holy City.”On the day of my departure, the blood on my body tightened my clothes and skin, and it looked monstrous, probably in the eyes of outsiders, a beast that had lost its spirit.

She felt a hand on her shoulder, "Now it's okay, you can live here as a normal person, and His Royal Highness the Prince is very kind to the sisters."After experiencing the month of demons and the attack of the Duke of the fortress, most of the townspeople also accepted the existence of witches.This town is the holy mountain we have been looking for before.”

The ashes looked at the woman who leaned against the window sill with herself, and the impression was that the children living in the monastery were thin and thin, their eyes were gray, and they could not see the beauty.And Wendy's present appearance is difficult to imagine her childhood, whether it is her body and appearance, are very different from the children of that period, and the natural tenderness in her tone also makes her feel peaceful and quiet.

However, there are some things she must say, "I will not stay here, nor will I come for this purpose."She paused, “I want to take you all away and take you all to a really safe place.”The border town is not a place to stay for a long time.”

“You’re not here...” Wendy paused for a moment, “why?”

“As long as you live on this continent, you will always be threatened by the Church, and Tilly has gathered most of the witches of the Grey Kingdom to go to the fjord, where she intends to build a kingdom of witches.”

“Doesn’t there a church in the fjord?”

Because of the special landscape of the archipelago, the islands are divided, and their influence can only be maintained between squares.And...” The ashes swung to the corner, “There is no divine chasing army on the island.”

It was also time to show them the witch’s wrath.One island after another uprooted the forces of the church, just as they had purged the witches.

"You and your sisters must leave, Wendy," she continued, "that it was a mistake to spread rumors and soliciting fellows, and I could hear the news, and the church could hear it.They will never allow a witch organization to scale up, and I don’t want it long before the army of the church will destroy you across the gray bunker.In the face of the invincible punishment army, do you think the four princes will still protect you?No secular lord would ever want to die with a witch, and now he may be good to you, but in times of danger he will only abandon you without hesitation.”

Wendy was silent until she said, "I don't know what the other sisters will think, but I won't leave the border town."

“It’s already the edge of a cliff,” the ashes frowned, “and a little more danger a day.”

"If in order to avoid the imminent danger, leave the Prince's Highness out of town, what is the difference between this and his abandonment of us?"I don’t want to be that kind of person, and...” She took a deep breath, “I don’t think Your Highness will give in to the pressure of the church, as you say.”The Nightingale once asked him the same question, and His Highness's answer was to let every witch in his territory live like a normal man, even if he was an enemy of the Church."

“The Ashes didn’t answer.For a moment she did not know what to say, she had seen too many promises, and what was the point of even if the other party was willing to shelter the witch in the end?In the face of overwhelming power, it is nothing more than an increase in sacrifice.

However, she also found out the situation of the joint help, after the death of the snake demon Hakalla, the remaining members of the co-helping group have been basically received by the border town lords, and the Thasa who went to Yingguang City to spread the news is probably not exactly what happened to save the witch's civilians, but the lord's own guard.Although it is not known what cunning means he used to make the witch trust him, under the threat of his own sword, he must have quickly disintegrated the disguise he carefully constructed.

“I want to talk to your lord Roland Wimbledon,” said the Ashes at last.

...

I saw the four princes the next morning.

The ashes were brought into the office by the Nightingers, and she saw the repulsive man again.

Although he did not want to admit it, he did have the same blood as Tilly.The gray hair belt is simply tangled in the back of the head, and a little silver light is emitted in the morning, which is the symbol of the gray castle royal family.His eyebrows and nose were somewhat similar to Tilly, but the more similar they were, the more unhappy she was.Unlike the appearance commonly seen in the court, his dress is very clean, except for a fit of clothes, almost no earrings, necklaces, rings, bracelets.He simply leaned back in his chair, but had a feeling of looking down at himself.

The temperament of the upper hand.

She couldn’t stop thinking that in her head.

Well, from the point of view of selling, there is indeed some improvement, the ashes in the heart of the cold, I do not know how long you can maintain this posture.

“Welcome, did you hear your name is Ash?”The other person said, “You are a messenger sent by my sister, aren’t you?”

"I decided to come to the town."

"But that's the messenger, that's right."

“...” The ashes frowned, emphasizing the meaning of the word messenger.She didn't want to get entangled in a place that didn't matter. "That's it."

"Very well, Ashes messenger," he said with an unspoken smile, "I heard you wanted to take my witch?"(Not yet completed.If you like this work, you are welcome to start the project, and your support is my biggest motivation.Mobile phone users please read.)
