1500 Release That Witch: Side Story (Part 2)
After an unknown period of ti, Nightingale slowly opened her eyes.
Beneath her nose was the fragrance of the earth, a sll so pure that only primitive soil could have. She tried to lift her head and saw that as far as her eyes could see, there was an empty field, and the city had disappeared without a trace.
Did she… succeed?
Before Neverwinter City was built, there was not a decent city in the west. It was normal for the wilderness to be everywhere.
An irrepressible sense of joy welled up in Nightingale.
But she knew it was too early to celebrate.
There was a certain degree of uncertainty in this kind of travel. There could be an error in the location and ti. Until she reached Border Town, she could not be considered to have succeeded.
“I have to determine my location as soon as possible.”
Nightingale took a deep breath and slowly got up from the ground. This operation consud a lot of magic power and almost exhausted her stamina. Fortunately, her body was unscathed. As long as she rested a while, she would recover.
However, the mont she stood up, she imdiately realized that sothing was wrong!
Her clothes actually slid down, and her shoes seed to have grown two sizes!
Nightingale quickly crouched down again.
Only then did she realize that her body had beco smaller!
“No way… Is this also the price of Ti Reversal?”
For a mont, she was stunned. This was a very important matter! If she was no longer her old self, how could she be the bridge between Border Town and the exiled witches? How could she convince Wendy and the others to believe her? Judging from the shadow, she had almost fallen to Anna’s level in her early years, which was a huge blow to her confidence.
Her strategies that had been conceived for many years were instantly back to square one.
At this mont, a distinct sound suddenly drifted into Nightingale’s ears.
Although it was very faint, she could still tell that it was intermittent cries and screams.
Enemies!?
Nightingale was suddenly alert.
In the wilderness, other than the wild beasts, there might also be knights of the church. She did not forget the experience of exiled witches being chased by the church. She was not afraid of these opponents, but she did not want any sisters to fall into the hands of the church.
Nightingale fastened her clothes and pricked up her ears. After roughly identifying the direction, she imdiately rushed into the fog towards the source of the sound.
In less than a minute, a small village appeared in front of her.
There was no continuous mountain range nearby, only clusters of low trees. It was obviously not Border Town. Cries for help beca clearer, and at the sa ti, she heard the buzzing of weapons clashing.
“Get behind !”
“Torre, ignore them. Protect Lady yna!”
A few soldiers in armor were fighting a bloody battle, and the enemy opposite them looked extrely familiar. They were huge, terrifying, and wore strange bone masks with leather airbags on their backs.
Demons.
Nightingale couldn’t help but be startled. When did the demon invade the Western Region? She rembered that these aliens had only been to the Hidden Forest at most. They had never had any formal contact with the Graycastle people before Roland appeared.
However, this was clearly not the ti to think.
The humans were at an obvious disadvantage. There were more than ten soldiers lying on the ground, and even those who were still standing were covered in injuries. Behind them were at least fifty people. From their clothes, they were undoubtedly local villagers.
If there were no reinforcents, these people would not be able to last long.
Fortunately, reinforcents had arrived.
Nightingale jumped out of the fog and waved a white thread in her hand. She cut open the body of a demon at lightning speed!
Red mist mixed with blue blood gushed out!
She did not carry any weapons, nor did she need any. The spatial rifts ford by her ability were the strongest swords, and even the strongest armor in the world could not withstand the cutting of the fog.
“W-Who is it?” A soldier exclaid.
“It’s reinforcents! Sir, reinforcents are here!”
Reinforcents? Nightingale felt that sothing was wrong. She was indeed helping these people, but didn’t they accept it too quickly? It should be known that witches were dangerous outcasts in this era. If they were caught, they would be sentenced to death. It was only because she was confident that she would not be threatened by anyone that she chose to take the initiative to attack. If it were her early years when she wandered, she would never expose herself so easily.
Although she was puzzled, Nightingale’s movents didn’t slow down. In just ten seconds, eight or nine demons had fallen.
The remaining enemies raised their spears.
“Be careful of the spears!” a female voice warned sharply.
Nightingale’s heart was as still as water as she stepped into the fog. The black and white world enveloped her in an instant. In this vision, ti seed to slow down. She could clearly see every fra of the bone spear’s attack, like a movie scene.
She stretched out her hands and pinched the “spear body”. Then, with a gentle pull, the spears made of clumsy lines collapsed. In her vision, it was the collapse of the outline, but in reality, it was the complete collapse of the spear structure.
All the spears exploded into countless bone fragnts in the air.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Half a minute later, there wasn’t a single demon left standing.
“Well… thank you for your tily rescue. I am Squadron Leader yna of the advance party of the Garrison. May I ask who you are…” A woman in half-armor staggered in front of Nightingale. She looked seriously injured and blood could be seen under the armor.
The Garrison? This was the first ti Nightingale had heard this title.
“Uh… just call Nightingale.” She had already noticed the faint magic fluctuations coming from the other party’s body. Coupled with these unfamiliar nas, the strange armor style, and the unusual movents of the demons, an extrely bad feeling slowly rose from the bottom of her heart. “I want to ask, what year is it now, and what is this place?”
Faced with such an unbelievable question, there was a commotion among the soldiers.
yna raised her hand to stop the whispering of the crowd. While the woman was sizing her up, she was also sizing up this “savior”. If she had not seen her clearly before and mistaken her for a patrolling witch who had co to rescue, she was now certain that this person was definitely not a mber of the Garrison or even a mber of the Union.
After all, no one with common sense would ask such a question.
Moreover, being able to easily defeat a group of crazy demons by herself, such a person must be famous. It was impossible for yna to not rember her. What was even more shocking was that she looked to be at most 16 or 17 years old. yna did not know if she was an adult. Witches needed ti to increase their magic power and their skills had to be refined. She did not even dare to think about how far this person could grow, considering her capability at such a young age.
For a mont, yna wondered if this was just another trap set by the demon.
However, this woman who called herself Nightingale was indeed a compatriot. The magic waves would not lie.
Before the truth was found out, she should respect the girl who was far more capable than herself. “Nightingale… Ma’am, this is the Fertile Plains, under the jurisdiction of the city of Taquila. Of course, this place is quite far from the Holy City, otherwise we wouldn’t be here—”
Then, yna caught an obvious change in the other party’s expression!
“Ahem!” Nightingale almost choked on his saliva. “What did you say? T-Taquila?”
“Excuse … Is there a problem?” yna’s heart tightened. That was the last of the Three Holy Cities. Was there anyone in this world who did not know about it?
“So… you belong to the Union?”
“Exactly.” She nodded.
Nightingale was completely rooted to the spot. A mont later she slumped down as if she’d lost the strength to support herself. At the sa ti she was cursing in her head—
What bullsh*t theoretical calculations? You guaranteed that the error would not exceed plus or minus three years? This is 500 years ahead of my destination, back before the Union was destroyed! 500 years! At this ti, the Graycastle countries were still a savage land, and there was no sign of Border Town. If she could still go back, she would definitely pull off the beards of those old scholars!
“Are you alright?” yna was shocked by her reaction. “Did you use too much magic power? Soone co!”
“Don’t panic… I’m fine.” Nightingale weakly stopped her. “This tiny bit of consumption is nothing to .”
This, this tiny bit?
yna was speechless for a mont.
“Madam yna, we shouldn’t stay here for too long. The demons might catch up to us at any mont,” a soldier stepped forward and said. “But we’ve lost too many n. We can’t take all the villagers with us. Let’s pick out the young people and leave the rest behind to buy us ti.”
“What are you talking about, Keane! Isn’t our duty to search the scattered settlents on the Fertile Plains and bring the survivors back to the Holy City?”
“That’s just the plan!” The soldier called Keane retorted. “How can the lives of ordinary people compare to the lives of witches? Moreover… we now have one more person to protect.” He looked at Nightingale. “Torre, the Garrison can’t afford more losses.”
“But…”
“Take everyone with you. I can guarantee that the demons won’t be able to catch up with you.” Nightingale suddenly interrupted their argunt. Despite experiencing a huge shock, she didn’t imrse herself in shock and disappointnt for too long. She had experienced too many twists and turns in her life, but there had never been a difficulty that really knocked her down. She was the most powerful warrior in Graycastle and was used to holding her fate in her hands.
“Are you sure?” Keane asked carefully. In his opinion, this witch was far stronger than his captain, and according to his previous impression, the more powerful a witch was, the less she would take ordinary people seriously.
“That’s right. And not just them. Every one of you is a precious asset.” Nightingale stood up again and looked around the crowd. “Don’t die easily.”
Everyone was stunned.
Keane and Torre looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other’s eyes.
“In that case, let’s go together,” yna decided. “Keane, Torre, listen to my orders. Take everyone and return to Taquila imdiately.”
“Yes, ma’am!” the two squad leaders replied in unison.
