Release that Witch - Chapter 2
[Chapter 2 Witch Anna (Part 1)]
For the next time, he locked himself in the room, reminiscing about the world, and the servants brought the dinner directly.
Under the strong desire to survive, Roland forcibly suppressed the fear and discomfort of unfamiliar environments after crossing.
He knew very well that getting more information as soon as possible would reduce the risk of exposure.
It has to be said that the fourth prince had nothing else on his mind except fooling around with those young masters, and Roland couldn’t recall any valuable information – such as the aristocrat’s experience, the political situation, the diplomacy of neighboring countries and so on.
As for some basic common sense, such as city names and major event years, he also couldn’t connect it with the European history he knew.
It seems that this man is definitely not destined for the throne, and maybe the King of Graycastle knows this, so he is thrown into such a ghostly place—even if he messes around with his temper, it won’t cause too much damage.
And those brothers and sisters… Roland thought about it for a while, and he was left dumbfounded.
The eldest brother is powerful, the second brother is very insidious, the third sister is fierce, and the fifth sister is too smart. This is the impression left by the fourth prince.
What should he say?
After more than ten years of getting along, the final impression can be summed up in just a few words.
They don’t know what forces they have cultivated, who their capable subordinates are, and what they are good at.
It has only been three months since I came to Border Town, and the nobles here no longer hide their contempt, which shows that the fourth prince is indeed not a leader.
Fortunately, when he left the royal city, Wimbledon III also sent a man and a man to help him, otherwise it would be a shame.
Early the next morning, the maid Till repeatedly reminded Roland that the minister’s assistant wanted to see him.
It seemed that there was no way to procrastinate any longer, he touched the maid’s buttocks twice as he remembered, and told her to inform Barov to wait in the living room.
Seeing Till go out the door with a blushing face, Roland suddenly remembered, since it is farming, will there be a system or something?
He yawned and recited the system dozens of times in his mind, but nothing happened.
Sure enough, novels are deceptive.
*******************
Barov, who was waiting in the living room, was already fidgeting. As soon as he saw Roland appearing, he rushed forward, “Your Highness, why didn’t you order the execution yesterday?”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s early or late.” Roland clapped his hands and ordered the attendants to serve breakfast. “Sit down and talk slowly.”
It seems that it matches the impression in his memory, he thought, the chief knight always likes to question face to face when encountering problems, while the minister assistant will explain it to himself in private.
In any case, the two men’s loyalty to themselves is still reliable-although it is likely to be for the king’s sake.
“One day later, other witches may be attracted, Your Royal Highness! This is different from the trivial matters before, and you can’t let your temper mess around!”
“Why do you even say this?” Roland frowned and asked, “I thought you could distinguish rumors from facts.”
Barov looked confused, “What rumors?”
“Evil witches, angels of the devil,” Roland said indifferently, “Isn’t this all propaganda from the church? I want them to stay out of here, I think it’s better to do the opposite. They propagate that witches are evil, We don’t want to hunt witches, but we still want to tell the people in the territory that this is a shameless rumor spread by the church.”
Barov was stunned, “But… but the witch is indeed…”
“Is it really evil?” Roland asked back, “For example?”
The minister’s assistant was silent for a moment, as if wondering if the prince was deliberately making fun of him, “Your Highness, this kind of issue can be discussed later. I know you don’t like the church, but this kind of resistance will only be counterproductive.”
It seems that changing the inherent concept cannot be achieved overnight, Roland pouted, but did not continue to care about this point.
By this time breakfast was on the table, a plate of croutons, a plate of fried eggs, and a jug of milk.
He first poured a cup for the assistant to the minister and pushed it in front of him.
“Haven’t you eaten yet? Talk while eating.” According to the maid, Barov rushed outside the palace to see him just after dawn, so he probably hasn’t eaten yet.
Although he decided to imitate the behavior of the fourth prince first, the change must be made little by little.
The assistant to the minister is a good target, he thought, making your subordinates feel that you value them, so that they will be more motivated to work for you.
Initiative is always the most efficient, isn’t it?
Barov took the cup but didn’t drink it. He said anxiously, “Your Highness, we are in trouble. Three days ago, guards reported that a camp suspected of being camped by witches was found in the western forest. They left in a hurry and did not clean up the remaining traces. .The guards found this in the camp.”
He took out a coin from his pocket and put it in front of Roland.
It was not a common currency, at least as far as Roland remembered, he had never seen such a currency – it didn’t even look like a metal product.
Holding it in his hand, he was surprised to find that the thing was heating up. It was definitely not the residual temperature of the assistant minister’s body. The temperature was at least over 40 degrees. This moment reminded him of Nuan Baobao.
“what is this?”
“I thought it was just an evil thing made by a certain witch, but it was more serious than I thought.” Barov wiped his forehead, “The pattern on it…is the holy mountain and the seal of the magic eye, which is The emblem of the Witches’ Commonwealth.”
Roland rubbed the uneven surface of the coin, guessing that it was probably fired from ceramics.
The center of the coin does depict a “mountain” pattern – three triangles side by side with an eye in the center of the triangle.
The outline of the pattern is very rough, it should be polished by hand.
He recalled the two terms “Holy Mountain and Magic Eye” and “Witches’ Association”, but found no relevant information.
It seems that the fourth prince’s plus point in occultism is zero.
Barov didn’t expect Roland to know, he continued, “Your Highness, you haven’t seen real witches before, so you don’t take them seriously. It is true that they can also be injured and bleed, and they are no harder to kill than us ordinary people, but That is a witch who cannot resist. The lifespan of a witch who is inspired by the devil will become very short, but she will also gain terrifying power. It was a heavy price. Their desires were almost uncontrollable, and they all eventually fell into the minions of the devil.”
“For this reason, the Church formed a Judgment Army. If it is found that a woman may turn into a witch, she can be arrested and executed. The king also agrees with this matter. In fact, these measures are very effective. Compared with a hundred years ago, the incidents of witches are much less. Holy Mountain, In other words, the rumor of the gate of hell is an ancient book from that era.”
Roland gnawed at the bread, sneering in his heart.
Although the background of this world is very different from what I know, the historical development trajectory is still surprisingly similar.
The church, and the church, he knows that religion is the devil’s minion and the real source of evil.
Kill if you see the signs?
In the name of God, law enforcement, arrest, trial, and punishment are integrated into one body, which itself is a kind of depravity.
“It is recorded in ancient books that only when witches go to the Holy Mountain can they obtain real peace. There is no magical backlash there, and they will not be trapped by soaring desires. There is no doubt that the so-called Holy Mountain in the book must be the birthplace of evil, The entrance to hell on earth. I think only hell will not punish these fallen people.”
“What about the Witch Aid Society? What does it have to do with the Holy Mountain?”
Barov said with a bitter face, “Whether witches fled or lived in seclusion before, they acted alone. But in recent years, the Mutual Assistance Society is different. It wants to gather all witches and search for the Holy Mountain together. In order to For this purpose, members of the Mutual Aid Association will even actively lure others into witches. Didn’t there be a mass disappearance of baby girls in Bishui Port the year before, and there are rumors that they did it.”
