Release that Witch - Chapter 15

[Chapter 15]

Seeing the knight leading the way, Roland returned to the table, “You can treat small animals, why do you still think witches are evil?”

“The teacher said that witches can do things that ordinary people can’t. Sometimes it doesn’t look bad, but it’s a trap set by the devil to lure more people…” The girl lowered her voice, “I , I never saw the devil, I swear.”

“Of course you haven’t seen it, it’s just a lie of the church, and your teacher is also one of the deceived,” Roland reassured.

“The church lied to people?” Nana opened her mouth wide, “Why?”

Roland shook his head without explaining.

Even if he said it, they couldn’t understand it.

When civilization has not yet developed to a certain level, such strange things will always happen.

People don’t even need to be motivated by interests, people will automatically attribute natural disasters, man-made disasters, or incomprehensible phenomena to imaginary behind-the-scenes hands-in terms of history, most of this blame is carried by women.

And in this world, after witches possessed tangible powers of unknown origin, it was easier to become the target of the Church.

When you think about it, it is absolutely impossible for the church to let this kind of vision go unchecked.

Either canonize all witches as saints and call them gifts from God; or hunt them down and call them the representatives of the devil.

However, once the former is chosen, the majesty of monotheism will be greatly affected-because the appearance of witches has nothing to do with the church.

If churches that believe in other gods also canonize witches as saints, and everyone is chosen by God, then whose god is the only true god?

The prerequisite for the coexistence of polytheism is that the gods really exist and can restrain each other.

Since gods do not exist, they are all fictitious markers, so why let the other party share the world?

Therefore, any monotheistic religion will claim that what they believe in is the true God. For pagans, there is only one way to go, and that is to destroy the body.

Similarly, they can only choose the latter and spare no effort to fight against witches.

This has nothing to do with preferences, it’s just for profit.

There was a live chicken in the kitchen of the castle, and when the knight came with its wings, it was still flapping and kicking.

What happened next left Nana dumbfounded. Roland took out a silver knife from his waist, let the knight hold it firmly, and stabbed at the chicken.

After stabbing it, let Nana come up to treat it, and then continue in another way after it is cured…and so on.

When the chicken that had been tortured for a long time finally died, Roland had a general understanding of Nana’s ability.

She can restore broken parts, including cuts, fractures, and bruises.

If parts are missing entirely, such as after cutting off a chicken’s claw, she can’t make new ones grow back.

But connecting the broken claws and then using the ability can make the fracture intact.

In the end, she had no way of reversing life and death, and once the chicken died, her treatment was useless.

During the whole treatment process, Roland did not see the “sticky water” she described. She simply put her hand on the wound of the chicken, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a series of experiments, Nana’s physical exertion was not high, at least she was not sweating profusely like Anna did during training.

The only person who was dissatisfied was Nana herself. She felt that the treatment of the chicken was too much, so that she kept pouting and glaring at Roland until the end of the experiment.

“Okay, stop staring, let’s have something to eat.” Seeing this, Roland had no choice but to resort to the trick of “summoning afternoon tea” to divert her attention.

This trick has been tried and tested against Anna. He believes that few girls in this age group can resist the temptation of delicious desserts.

But the facts proved that Nana’s performance in front of exquisite pastries was not much better than the former.

After eating the pastry, Roland sent someone to send Nana away.

Anna asked puzzled, “Why didn’t you keep her? She is a witch like me, right?”

“She still has family, and her family has not found out that she is a witch.”

Anna whispered, “It’s just a matter of time.”

“Yes, sooner or later,” Roland sighed, “so it’s a little later. Do you… miss your father?”

She shook her head, her eyes as calm as the surface of a lake did not show any waves.

It seems that being betrayed by her own father has completely disappointed her.

But without relatives, she will have friends.

“Nanava will come here often. In fact, I plan to let her come here every two days to practice her abilities.”

Hearing this, she blinked her eyes and nodded quickly.

“Do you want to go back to Teacher Carl’s academy and study with other children like her?”

Anna didn’t answer, but he felt that he heard the voice of the other party.

“This situation won’t last long… As long as I’m here, you will be able to live like ordinary people, and no one will grab you and send you to the gallows wherever you go. This day will come,” Roland said word by word, “I promise.”

*******************

Since Carl Vanbert took over the project, the fourth prince, Roland, was at ease immediately.

He stayed in the castle garden every afternoon, practicing with Anna or Nana.

Now Anna no longer needs to prepare extra clothes when training. Even if flames are jumping on each finger, she can manipulate them proficiently, and will not accidentally ignite her witch hat like before.

Nana also changed into a witch uniform of the same style. Although she was reluctant during the practice, for the sake of afternoon tea, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com pouted and did it honestly.

Seeing the two witches dangling in the yard, the evil taste in Roland’s heart was greatly satisfied.

Occasionally, he would go to the foot of the north slope to see the progress of the project. After more than two weeks of construction, the city wall has been repaired about 100 meters.

In the era when there was no theodolite for distance measurement, Carl directed the craftsmen to use a wooden pole to determine the distance and straightness according to the shadow of the sun at the same time every day.

A watchtower is set up every ten poles to stabilize the city wall.

Such a large-scale employment naturally attracted the attention of the nobles in the town, but they did nothing other than ask Barov about the situation, as if this matter had nothing to do with them.

Roland didn’t care about this at all. These people’s family businesses are all in Longsong Fortress, and they definitely won’t stay here to help him guard Border Town.

He could even imagine the group laughing at their own inadequacy when they got together in private.

Not just nobles, but merchants too.

The merchants who bought animal furs in Border Town in the past saw that there was nothing to buy this time, and started to return to the fort one after another.

The dissatisfaction with returning empty-handed naturally vented on the ruler Roland.

It is stupid and ignorant that Roland Wimbledon, the fourth prince of Graycastle, was building a large-scale building before the arrival of the Demon Moon, which has spread along the Chishui River.

At this time, no one thought he could hold the town, and most of them didn’t think about it at all.

After all, the impression left by the fourth prince does not include the courage to fight.

No matter what he was tossing about, he would obediently go back to the fortress to take refuge in the end.

In this way, amidst the discussions among the crowd, Roland ushered in the first winter after time travel.
