Chapter 58 Escape

After an unknown amount of time, when Nightingale woke up, she found that her hands were tied behind her back to a wooden stake, and her waist and feet were also tied tightly with ropes. After trying to struggle, my body and the wooden pole were stuck together tightly, and I couldn't move at all.

She wanted to use the ability, but the familiar feeling didn't appear—her connection with the magic power seemed to be severed. Nightingale lowered her head and found a transparent prismatic stone hanging around her neck.

"You're awake," Hakara walked in front of her. "How does it feel to petrify Venom? To be honest, I had high hopes for you, Nightingale. However, you failed my expectations."

"..." Nightingale took a deep breath, "You actually hide the shackles of God's punishment, Hakara, do you know what you are doing?" The shackles that were originally used by the church to suppress witches are now taken by their mentors. To deal with her kind! What annoyed her even more was that the people watching around looked dumbfounded, as if they didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Damn it, Nightingale cried out in her heart, don't you realize that you are becoming the kind of person that witches once hated the most? !

"It's just a tool. Occasionally there will be some bad children who don't listen to the teaching and need to be punished." Hakara said indifferently, "And you, Nightingale, are the one who needs to be punished. Or... I should call you Vero Nika? A woman who was born in a noble family, but became a witch, and still wants to climb to a high position?"

"I can not understand what you say."

"You let me down so much. When Wendy rescued you from the clutches of the nobles, I thought you would stand firmly on the side of the Mutual Aid Society. Look at what you have done now, just when everyone is about to find St. When you are on the mountain, you want to make this great situation come to naught!" Hakara shook her head and sneered, "Take your sisters to join a prince? Or have you been kept in captivity for too long, and your servility has been ingrained, so you have to find a master for yourself. Only people know how to live; otherwise...you just want to sell them all to the nobles in exchange for your former status!"

"Everything I do is for the sisters of the Mutual Aid Society." Nightingale suppressed her anger, and it was meaningless to curse at this time, "I hope they don't have to suffer from the Awakening Day anymore, and I hope they can live a comfortable life Life. I have no intention of hindering your plan. Sisters should have the right to freely choose their own way of life. Earth-shaking changes are taking place in Border Town. The steam engine blueprint I brought is one of them. It’s infinite. With this kind of machine, water can be hoisted directly from the mountain stream, and people don’t have to go to it every day.”

Hakara sneered twice, "Is this what you're talking about?" She turned around, took out a stack of parchment scrolls from a witch behind her, and waved them in front of Nightingale, "Although I can't understand that the paintings on it are all What, but a pile of cold iron pieces pieced together can move autonomously like a living thing? Do you think we are all three-year-old children!"

She went to the brazier and threw the scroll into the burning coals.

"No!" Nightingale yelled in vain, watching helplessly as the blueprints were reduced to ashes in the brazier.

"My patience is exhausted, and now I will give you one last chance." Hakara pulled out an iron cone from the brazier, the front end of which was already burning red, "If you confess to all the sisters of the Freedom Society and admit that you have been The bewitchment of the nobles, I can spare your life, but the whipping is inevitable. This is a lesson for you to trust the enemy. If you are still stubborn, I have no choice but to pierce your heart with this iron spine and nail your body to the wood. Put it on the stake, so that everyone can learn from it." She said word by word, "Don't miss my last kindness, speak your decision."

Nightingale looked at the iron cone that was getting closer to her, and could even feel the scorching heat coming from the tip of the cone. If it was the cowardly self from before, I'm afraid he would have bowed his head and admitted his mistake a long time ago, right? But she has bid farewell to the past, and is no longer that timid girl. She is Nightingale, a mighty witch, not even death can bring her down.

She closed her eyes, waiting for the final moment. For some reason, Roland's figure appeared in Nightingale's mind.

"Stop!" Someone yelled, she was startled slightly, and opened her eyes. Wendy walked out of the crowd and said to Hakara: "Teacher, look at the white cloth wrapped around your arm. We have already experienced so many partings. Do you want to add another one?"

"What, even you were deceived by her? Wake up, Wendy, those are just lies!"

"I don't know," Wendy shook her head. "I don't plan to go to Border Town with her, but I think she's right about one thing. Sisters should have the freedom to choose their own way of life."

She turned her head and asked loudly, "Anyone want to leave with her?"

There was no answer from the crowd, and the scene fell into silence.

"So just let her go alone," Wendy said, "She didn't do anything to harm the Freedom Society, and I can't just watch you kill her."

By now, Nightingale had fully understood what Wendy meant. She couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in her heart. Even Wendy didn't fully believe in herself. That's why she kept silent when she needed her help to convince everyone. But she is still the kind-hearted witch who cares for everyone, and even if she disagrees with her point of view, she will lend a helping hand.

After Wendy said these words, there were whispers in the crowd, and then several people stood up.

"That's right, since she is willing to return to the mundane world, let her go."

"The church and sickness have taken away too many of our sisters, sir, please think again."

"Shut up!" Hakara said angrily, "Let her go like this, what if a second or third Nightingale appears? If she sells the location of our camp to the church, we will have nowhere to go Escape!" Before she finished speaking, she stabbed out the iron spine in her hand, and Wendy took a step faster, and was the first to whip up a strong wind, blowing Haraka away.

Then she tossed a coin, raised her hand, and the rapid air flow wrapped the coin, whizzing towards Nightingale. The air current disappeared instantly when it got close to Nightingale, but the coin kept flying with inertia, and precisely hit the God's Stone of Retaliation in front of her neck.

The crystal clear prismatic stones shattered in response.

"Traitor!" Hakara got up from the ground and screamed. She stretched out her left and right hands to Wendy and Anna respectively. Two snake shadows appeared out of nowhere, one opened its mouth wide and bit the back of Wendy's hand fiercely, while the other jumped empty.

The rope slipped to the ground, still in the same state as when it was bound, but the nightingale was gone.

Thinking of the other party's ability, Hakara broke out in a cold sweat. She mobilized all her magic power, and magic snakes shining with various colors swarmed out of her chest, forming a wall of snakes, and at the same time, she retreated sharply——

But Nightingale was faster than she.

Just one step... Just one step, she has already appeared behind Hakara. Stretching out his hands forward, the iron spine that should have pierced Nightingale's heart just pierced through Hakara's body.
