Chapter 423 "Connection"

…

After reading the two contracts several times, Speer Passi solemnly signed his name at the end.

One is the "Memorandum of Unification" and the other is the "Basic Charter of the Witches Alliance".

The former agreed that after Tifeko Wimbledon's rule was overthrown, she would lead the entire city of Falling Dragon Ridge to swear allegiance to Roland Wimbledon, and at the same time respond to the new king's request and hand over the enfeoffment power, and Roland should ensure that she Other powers in the position of Lord of Falling Dragon Ridge. The memo classified them into three categories: personnel, administration and finance. Although this statement is a bit novel, it is very easy to understand and basically includes the matters she handles daily.

The latter was a decision that Speer made after long consideration. From the current point of view, there is no doubt that this alliance is working for His Highness Roland. She didn't want to tie herself to the fourth prince's carriage so soon. After all, the prince only occupied a corner of Gray Castle. But the content of the evening lectures was quite attractive, and she vaguely sensed that those strange calculation methods would be of great help in managing the territory.

Fortunately, the requirements set forth in the alliance charter are very loose. It is more like a formal consensus and does not even restrict the whereabouts of members. She also asked His Highness the Prince about this, and the answer she received was that she could leave at any time when she wanted to.

"I've signed it."

Speer handed two pieces of exquisite parchment to the table, but there was no response. His eyes were looking at the empty side, as if thinking about something.

"Your Highness?"

"Ah..." He blinked, as if coming back to his senses, "Let me take a look."

This kind of lack of concentration was rarely seen in previous negotiations. It seemed that after yesterday's trial, there was a hint of hesitation on His Highness's eyebrows. This was a bit difficult for her to understand. The trial was undoubtedly a great success, and people stood by His Highness without hesitation, cheering and shouting for him. Before this, Speer had never thought that ordinary people would support a noble in this way. She originally thought that she and them were in two different worlds. The nobles did not need the people's understanding, nor did they care about their support. But yesterday, her thoughts were changed. As she watched the citizens around the square wave their fists and make the same earth-shattering sound, she suddenly realized that there might be a power in it that she had never been aware of. It is even more powerful than the nobility itself.

Moreover, His Highness's decisive judgment was also one of the reasons why she was determined to sign these two contracts.

Regardless of whether he wanted to protect the witch or not, at least being able to punish the thief who rebelled against his position of lord so quickly was a sign of sincerity in itself. In this case, she should respond.

However, His Highness does not seem satisfied... Is he regretting openly being an enemy of the church?

Speer knew that it was by no means an easy enemy to deal with.

Regarding the direction of future collaboration, it would be better to ask clearly about this kind of thing. She hesitated and put forward her guess tactfully.

His Highness was obviously stunned after hearing this, and then shook his head with a smile, "I will never regret fighting against the church. They are enemies that must be defeated in every aspect."

"Then you..."

"I'm just feeling a little emotional."

"Sentimental?"

"Obviously what I said was the truth and what I exposed were the crimes committed by the church, but I still feel a little embarrassed," he shrugged. "It seems that I am far from being a qualified politician."

politician? What is that, a person who focuses on studying politics, like an astrologer?

Before she could ask, His Highness stopped the topic, "I accept the contract. I heard that your ability is related to controlling magic power?"

"Yes," Speer hesitated to continue asking, "To be precise, it is to extract the magic power of a witch for other witches to use. Of course, I can also extract my own magic power and take it back again to achieve this goal. This process of consumption has almost no impact on the outside world, and I can repeat this process in the castle at any time.”

"How did you discover that you have such an ability?" the prince asked curiously.

"Ever since the awakening," the Marquise replied, "I don't know how other witches understand the ability, but I can feel its existence. It feels like suddenly...an extra organ."

"Interesting statement," he nodded thoughtfully, "you should know the purpose of why I originally sent Nightingale to Dragon Dragon Ridge to invite you."

"You need my ability," Speer paused for a moment, caressing his chest and said, "I am happy to serve you."

Anyway, she can't go back to Falling Dragon Ridge now, so it's better to see what this prince is doing on a daily basis. Although she has only been in Border Town for more than a week, she found that the scene here is very different from other territories. A place far away from the center of the kingdom. It is a remote place, but it has no less vitality than the royal capital, which makes her, a fellow lord, full of curiosity.

What surprised Speer even more was that the life of the local witches was completely different from what he had imagined. The fourth prince did not control them too much, but allowed them to act as they pleased. This can be seen from the fact that he waited for the nightingale to return. Although he clearly hoped that the other party would return early, he still agreed to the other party's request.

His Highness the Prince did not regard them as his servants.

You must know that some nobles secretly hide witches solely for their beauty. His Highness is now openly recruiting witches. She originally thought that he would be more unscrupulous, but she did not expect that he would be extra cautious in this regard.

Is this still the anxious and incompetent fourth prince in the rumors?

While feeling dumbfounded, she couldn't help but gain a little more trust. Looking back now, none of the words Nightingale said in front of him were lies.

…

Following the prince out of the castle and into a courtyard on the hill behind the town, Speer met two other witches.

"This is Anna, and that is Mystery Moon," Roland introduced. "Mystery Moon's magic power is at a low level among the Witches' Union, but her ability consumption is amazing."

"I'm obviously average!" Mysterious Moon protested.

"In The Awakening Witch," the prince added.

The latter paused immediately.

"You want me to connect the magic power of the two of them?" Speer looked at Anna, "She should be the girl with the strongest magic power in the alliance, right? I suggest you call a few more witches. The amount of magic power and Age has a lot to do with it, and even if there is a difference, they shouldn't be too different."

"It's just a test now," His Highness touched his chin and said, "If this method works, I will notify them to come over."

The Marquis nodded and summoned the magic channel. It was a sphere shining with light blue light, floating quietly in mid-air. Then under her control, two thin lines stretched out from the sphere, like tentacles of nothingness. Reaching out to Anna and Mystery Moon.

"It will feel a little weird at first, just relax," Speer explained. "It can't forcefully transfer the magic if you resist."

When the tentacles penetrated Anna's chest, she was startled.

What's happening here? The tentacles seemed to be connected not to the rotating magic power, but to a hard metal cube. It was so huge that he was like an ant standing at the bottom of the metal. Only when he raised his head could he see the top.
