Chapter 408: The Witch's Memory Revolving Lantern
In the endless sea of sand, the city of Rezewitt, shrouded in gold, has long been the base of the Holy Knights.
Nearly 300,000 paladins occupied the entire city inside and outside, waiting for their acting legion commander to give them the latest orders.
However, what they were waiting for was not Hobert's order, but the news of Hobert's death and the news of the new acting legion commander.
The paladin who delivered the message was a high-ranking paladin of the Holy Knight Corps.
He is also Hobart's confidant.
After that, Michelle's priests also arrived at Rezewitt Castle.
The priest also announced the death of Hobert and asked all paladins to obey the orders of the archbishop and return to Veratis.
Faced with the archbishop's order, none of the paladins took any action.
They now only obey the orders of one person, the new acting legion commander, Miss Giles.
They wouldn't go anywhere until they got orders from Mith.
Since being forced to hide in the World Tree by the Paladins, the people of Rezewitt City have finally lived a few days of peace.
With the help of the Tree Organization and the guards of the Higanbana Guild, no one dared to enter the World Tree.
[Tree] Except for the two leaders, all other main members of the organization are basically here.
[Higanbana] Guild Hestis and Nora, with two giant dragons, Prey and Inkolis, guard the entrance to the World Tree, looking like a one-man-blockade against ten thousand.
But in reality, the two dragons and Nora were suppressed by the World Tree and it was difficult for them to exert their full strength.
Hestice was growing weaker and weaker, and her spirits were declining day by day.
Fortunately, the Paladins had no intention of charging at the cost of their lives.
The situation of everyone in the World Tree is relatively safe, and life is gradually returning to normal.
Until that day, Nora lay in bed alone, and Hestice never came to call her to get up.
When she realized something was wrong, she quickly jumped off the warm bed and ran towards the wooden house on the other side.
Nora broke into Hestice's room by forcing the door open, only to find that Hestice had fainted.
In desperation, she, who did not know how to use healing magic, asked the long-eared magician from Rezewitt City to save Hestis.
After three days of continuous rescue efforts by several healing magicians, it finally took effect.
Seeing Hestis slowly waking up and regaining consciousness, Nora was willing to close her eyes and rest.
The magicians of the Long-Eared Tribe told her that Hestice was overworked and needed to rest for a while, and asked her not to worry.
Nora believed it.
What she didn't know was that the reason the long-eared magicians said this was because of Hestis's strong request.
As the person who is most proficient in healing magic among all the people in the World Tree, Hestice knows her own situation better than anyone else.
That was not an ordinary coma, nor was it caused by overwork.
That's the effect of the curse.
Since her healing magic has the blessing of doubling the effect, the curses she endures are also doubled in effect.
As early as the year when she resisted the beast tide outside the city of Sojer, Hestis had already anticipated her own ending.
It's just that the end came too quickly and she wasn't mentally prepared yet.
Hestice had just understood her sister's last words from many years ago, and she had already reached the end of her life.
In the near future, she will die in her best years, just like her sister.
Unlike her sister, Hestice had regrets in her heart.
She still has people she wants to see and things she wants to do.
Relying on these thoughts, Hestis can hold on for a while.
When her vitality begins to decline drastically, she will age quickly like her sister and the other saints in her memory.
Eventually it dissipated between heaven and earth, as if it had never appeared.
Nora, who was kept in the dark, stayed by Hestice's bed day after day, telling her interesting stories she heard from others and expressing her beautiful vision for the future.
Occasionally, the two of them would discuss pretty girls nearby, thinking of introducing them to Miss in the future.
Or make fun of Sylvia's embarrassing moments.
Nora hopes that these happy things can help Hestice recover her spirits and recover soon.
Hestice loved her stories, especially the part about her and Miss living in the maze, and she never got tired of listening to them.
Two children, living in a big maze full of dangers, face all kinds of troubles.
It's like a picture book that you can never finish.
Every time Hestis listened, the corresponding scene seemed to emerge in her mind, as if she had really experienced it herself.
This feeling was just like the first time she met Miss in Nolen City.
It seems familiar. We feel like old friends at first sight.
To this day, Hestis still doesn't understand why her attention was inexplicably focused on a level 2 magic apprentice.
There seemed to be some kind of invisible and intangible connection between them.
The [Higanbana] guild was established, and Hestis took the excuse of repaying a favor and approached Miss.
Afterwards, she had many opportunities to leave the guild and become her cold and ruthless self again.
But Hestice was increasingly reluctant to leave, and every time she persuaded herself to stay, the reason was always "human feelings".
She always told herself, "I'll leave after I've paid Miss's favor."
Komisi has yet to repay his favor.
Hestis herself didn't realize that she, who was called a "witch" by the human race, didn't want to be hated by Miss.
So after Sylvia revealed her identity as a wanted criminal in front of Miss, her already low favorability towards Sylvia plummeted and turned negative.
Every time the two met, they couldn't help but want to quarrel.
Even the last conversation was still a quarrel.
Hestis didn't really hate Sylvia, but she was worried that Miss would hate her.
It was never Miss who locked her up, it was always herself.
Looking at Nora who was sleeping on the bed, Hestis couldn't retain the last bit of stubbornness.
She couldn't hold on any longer and her vision gradually became blurred.
"It seems like we won't have a chance to meet again... It's better not to meet again."
"The way I look now might scare you."
"And Sylvia, it's best if you don't show up again. I probably can't argue with her anymore now."
