[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps a lot of you are still cautious of the people here and wonder how you'll be treated in the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's perfectly normal. After all, Neverwinter to you is a completely foreign city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think I have to go on about the miseries that have fallen upon us witches over this past century.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, I assure you that you'll feel at home here, just like the city name endowed by His Majesty suggests.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I understand that you aren't a member of the witch union, but please don't hesitate to ask me for help if you encounter any difficulties. No matter how small it seems to be, I'm here for you. Good job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scroll gave Wendy a thumbs up and whispered to her approvingly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wendy did not expect, however, that the first problem arose when she tried to gather the personal information of the witches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A red haired witch protested after Wendy distributed the forms. Didn't you agree not to force us to stay here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just plan to stay here for a couple of days, so I don't think it's necessary. Me too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Princess Tilly told us that we could leave Neverwinter whenever we wanted to. I wanna go back to the eastern region right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since the church is gone now, I don't think it's necessary to disclose our personal information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'll put us in a very disadvantageous position if the information leaks to someone with malicious intent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, they don't really acknowledge my leadership, Tilly explained in a low voice. But they're at least much better than the Bloodfing Association.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tilly turned to the red haired witch and said, I understand that you yearn to return to the eastern region, but this is not a good time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although the church has fallen from power, the public is still unfriendly to witches, not to mention those nobles. The situation is particularly bad in the eastern region.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before Roland officially retrieves that area, the attitude of people toward witches would not change much over there. How do you know that if you haven't been there? Azima persisted. Or maybe you're just favoring your brother. Mind your attitude. Ash is retorted coldly. Why?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you going to pick a fight with me here like you did to Heidi and Skyflare? Wendy bit her lip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If what Tilly said was true, these people did not come to Neverwinter voluntarily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their visit was instead due to internal conflict among the witches from Sleeping Island.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If this problem was not properly resolved, not only would the witch union be involved in the mess, but would also lose the newcomer's trust.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That would have defeated the whole point of getting the new witches to come here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't worry, Skrull raised one of her eyebrows and then turned to the witch who wanted to return to the eastern region.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You miss your hometown, which means that you most likely weren't abandoned by your family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like other refugees who fled to Sleeping Island, you were forced to leave the eastern region under the pressure of the church. Right? So what? Asima cut in. Let me tell you about the current state of the eastern region.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The area was first devastated by the demonic plague spread by the church and was then ravaged by the army of Timothy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Farmlands and all surrounding areas are deserted and people can't sustain themselves. Many of those people have become refugees. The witch showed a troubled look but was not willing to relent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we don't go take a look ourselves, who knows whether you're telling the truth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two years ago, His Majesty Roland started to take in those refugees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the population of Neverwinter has exceeded 100,000, 70% of which are from other cities, with the majority of them being refugees from the eastern region and the southern territory. Scroll spoke calmly. Your family members are most likely amongst them. Can you tell me where you lived before?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Name a town or a village, a specific landmark or a local specialty. Do you plan to find her family only with those clues?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She wasn't born in a big city where each street and alley has its own name and where people in the same community knew each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scroll did not reply to Azima, but instead gently pushed her hair behind her ear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She looked on about which encouragingly like a teacher patiently waiting for an answer from her student in the class.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My village didn't have a name after hesitating for quite a while, the witch answered in a low voice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were no other villages nearby, and it was very far from Valencia, so far that if you wanna sell wheat, you would have to sell them to a merchant traveling there at a meter price.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because when they return from Valencia, it's the 16th village that they would pass by.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scroll closed her eyes and asked slowly, let me see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a branch of San Juan River winding behind that village, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How can a village survive without a river to irrigate their farmlands? But that branch is different. Scroll waved her hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It isn't wide nor deep enough for boats to pass, and even the riverbed would show in a dry season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why the villages nearby can't transport food and supplies by ship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the branch converges into a huge lake at the 16th village, which will never dry up even if the river water dried up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of this, the wheat in the village always grows better than those in others. Am I right? The witch's eyes were wide open. Have you been there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I heard from somebody else, scroll answered after a short silence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The one who told me this is currently in Neverwinter, but he wasn't a resident of the 16th village. What do you mean? You should ask him yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scroll, turn to the City Hall clerk responsible for the registration. Bring what here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Half an hour later, the clerk in a ruddy man showed up in the residential area. I don't know him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The witch studied him and shook her head, denying their acquaintance. What else do you have to say now? Azima sneered. There are so many people in the whole eastern region. How can you just randomly pick one? Ah, ah, are you Tillan's daughter?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The big man blurted out in excitement, paying no heed to Asima.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially for the mole underneath the corner of your eye, it's identical to your mother's. What cried? But you're much prettier than your mother. Hold on, you don't remember me? Well, not that it's your fault. You were just a little girl when I left the village. When I returned, you weren't there anymore. She called you. Little orchid back then, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, when I dug trenches in the 16th village, people talked a lot about you. They all thought witches had abducted you, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As what rambled on, Wendy started to figure out what had happened gradually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Big Ruddy Man had been a resident of a neighboring village next to the 16th Village.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Based on the naming rule, his village should be called the Fifteenth Village.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the two villages were geographically close to each other, he had kept in touch with his neighbors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As he envied his neighbors for their water source, he had traveled to Valencia to learn trench digging.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After he learned the skills, Wadid returned to his village and encouraged some villagers to help him expand the lake toward the 15th village.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had thus lived in the 16th village for quite a long time because of this project.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are my parents and elder brother still living in the village? What had apparently convinced Doris?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After what finally finished, she asked hastily, or they've come to the western region with you. At this moment, Skrull let out a short sigh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sparks in the ruddy man's eyes seemed to fade out at that instant. He replied in a sorrowful tone, they didn't make it. The second prince's army robbed our food stock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the time we got to the King's City, starving and thirsty, a huge plague broke out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The nobles in the city shut us out, leaving us crying for help at the foot of the city wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A large number of villagers from the nearby lands had died due to the noble selfishness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the time His Majesty's rescue teams arrived, there were just a few that were still alive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the end he came up to the girl and patted her on the head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tillon called your name over and over again before she passed away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If she knew you were still alive and well, she would definitely be happy. So, don't cry anymore, girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doris bit her lips fiercely and nodded slightly, but cried even harder after that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Upset with the sudden change in the situation, Asima looked to the side and stopped talking. The crowd was silent as Doris wept and wept.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After Doris had finally calmed down, Scroll spoke up again. I believe many of you are just like her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've constantly been on the run and never had the chance to contact your families.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if you found an opportunity to return, you would only find a hometown in ruins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is why we want you to provide your personal information to the City Hall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With this information, we'll be able to send each one of you the latest news about your hometown once any of your fellow townsmen come to Neverwinter. Among those people may even be your relative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Besides, City Hall has already sent staff to gather the refugees from all around Gray Castle and to bring them back to Neverwinter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'll be a long process, but eventually the news will spread and more and more refugees will come to Neverwinter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'll be easier for you to obtain information about your families if you stay here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, if needed, the staff can concentrate their search on the areas around your hometowns. His Majesty is fully capable of doing that. Are you serious? Asima looked up and stared at Skrull.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are the big shots in the palace willing to help us find our families?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If your big shots refers to city hall officials, I'm also one of the big shots, scroll said with her hands laid out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We run the city with a completely different system compared to the nobles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as you can pass the exam, even a witch can get involved in the administration and become an official of the kingdom. These words stir up a commotion in the crowd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As for the question you asked, the answer is yes. Scroll then continued with her explanation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Neverwinter never intended to stop you from leaving here, nor would we want to limit your freedom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I do have to warn you against leaving Neverwinter right now. The war rages on and famine ravages the country. Numerous towns and cities were left deserted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only would traveling outside be very dangerous, but it would also likely be an unnecessary venture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His majesty is currently leading the army to recover his country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he unites Grey Castle and restores order in all the four regions, you can then head out to wherever you wish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scroll paused and picked up the registration form again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, do you still think it's not necessary to fill out these forms? This time, know which objected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the way back to the castle, Wendy could not help but exclaim, You are so brilliant, Skrull. I could hardly think of what to say during that moment. They must have been quite impressed by the witch union.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you going to say you aren't suitable for the position of manager again? Scroll Stop Walking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to know that His Majesty chose you because, because I've some qualities that the others don't have, right? Wendy chuckled. Rest assured.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since the last talk I had with His Majesty, I've already made up my mind. I was just thinking about how to welcome the arriving witches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back then, I never thought twice about accompanying my sisters to find the holy mountain no matter how harsh the journey got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I almost forgot about the drinks until you mentioned them just now. I helped you a lot back there. Are you not going to buy me a drink for it? How about tonight?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some toasted mushrooms and fish filets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's drink and hang out in my room, just like what we did the last time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there aren't enough Chaos drinks, we can borrow some from Nightingale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, she isn't here in the city right now. I can make it up to her later. That's settled then, Scroll said smilingly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, Wendy examined Scroll's forehead with a curious look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you really remember all the personal information of more than 100,000 citizens? Don't you get confused by all that information? I don't know how to describe it. Scroll pondered for a moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the beginning, when I wanted to remember something, I had to recall it from the bottom of my memory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For example, if I wanted to look for a name, I needed to recall the date when this person registered and then the exact page in the registration book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was very troublesome, and I would get a headache whenever I overthought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, I found that the contents of my memory became more organized over time. What does that mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's as if all the details are sorted through automatically, and as soon as I start to recall something, I'll see all the relevant stuff right away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scroll paused for a minute and appeared to be weighing her words.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His majesty once said that a person's memory was far more powerful than we could imagine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I found it unbelievable at that time, but now I believe that it's no exaggeration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Indeed, it's a wonderful feeling, scroll nodded and said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, whenever I begin to search inside my head, I'll feel omniscient.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm not sure whether I'm going to be able to remember everything after his majesty unifies Grey Castle and extends his new management system to all the domains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wendy was thrilled by this idea and thought, what does that mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if Skrull is still able to remember everything at that time, then all the people's life stories will be kept in her head. That means she'll be history itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Wendy was about to say something, sounds of hurried footsteps came from behind them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've told him that we'd pass on his message, but he said that he has something he must tell you face to face. Why did he come? What's his name? Scroll knitted her eyebrows and asked. His name was Pozak. Answer the clerk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He told us the reason, but we think he might be mistaken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said that he'd found a girl covered in blood when he was tending to the cattle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He thinks that she's a witch, but the girl was unconscious, so she couldn't respond to his questions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've checked the work planned for today and didn't find any which scheduled to work out of town. Do you have any idea as to what this might be about? Pozak, he's a local man and has a good record.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's even among the first batch of students of the agriculture class. I believe he doesn't mean to make trouble for the city hall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scroll was puzzled and asked, might the witch be leaf? That's impossible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Under the protection of the Heart of Forest, no one can hurt her. Wendy immediately denied Skrull's guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland had decreed that all the new domains he sees this year should be sewed with golden twos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To fulfill this goal in time, he had asked Leaf to stay in the Misty Forest to continue cultivating the seeds instead of going to battle with the First Army.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If some enemies were to break into the region of the Misty Forest that she controlled, we would have heard something about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't forget that there are a group of workers responsible for carrying wheat seeds and also border guards monitoring the northern side of Neverwinter. If there was an attack, we should have heard the alarm by now. So then he must be mistaken? Anyways, let's meet the man first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can still help the heavily wounded girl even if she's not a witch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With that being said, Wendy felt a hint of anxiety in her heart. Am I forgetting something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the city hall, the man named Pozak was brought before Wendy in scroll.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was approximately 40 years old and looked like a typical farmer, swarthy and burly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The man rubbed his wrinkled hands and looked a little nervous. He bowed to scroll and said, You're the minister. My daughter learns how to read and write in your school. She's a really slow learner. I sincerely hope that you can bear with her faults.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't be nervous. Scroll left and pat at his shoulder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used to catch fish for living before I came here, but my harvest wasn't as steady as yours since the sea was too unpredictable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Furthermore, when it came to something like knowledge, it's never about a learner's background.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No matter how clumsy the learner is, he or she will master the knowledge eventually given enough effort and time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't worry, your daughter will be able to graduate without issues. Hearing that, Pozak relaxed a lot and grinned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've given up my work on the farm for grazing in recent two years because His Majesty said the salary for the new industry will be higher. With these words, he bowed to Wendy. You must be the manager of the witch union. I thought I didn't have the chance to meet you today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although Wendy was not as influential as Skrull among the ordinary people, she was still the head of the witch union, and thus had to make appearances at various major events.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That combined with her bright red hair and thick body it was not at all surprising for people to recognize Wendy. Call me Wendy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I heard that you claimed to have found a heavily wounded girl who was covered with blood. What makes you think that she's a witch?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At first, I thought it was a rag smeared with blood and planned to tear it down and throw it away, but this thing turned out to be connected to a girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I took a second look and found that it was actually an animal tail. An animal tail? Wendy felt her heart skip a beat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She suddenly recalled that a strange witch had come to Neverwinter more than two months ago, but she only knew her from Nightingale's description since this peculiar girl did not join the witch union or have any intimate contact with the sisters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had a wolf's ears and a long tail, but surprisingly, His Majesty had praised that this weird half animal was very pretty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wendy now remembered about this strange incident that had repeatedly been mentioned by Nightingale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That strange witch is called Lorger, and she's a princess of a tribe in the southernmost region. Could she be the girl Pozak found? Where's she? Wendy urgently asked. Take us to her right now. The farmer had not taken the injured girl home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had left her in a temporary rest shed in the pastoral area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seeing the wolf girl in bloodstained clothes lying motionlessly on the bench, Wendy's heart sank to the bottom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the girls currently disfigured and bloody ears. She was sure that this girl was Lorger and wondered what in the world had happened to her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Evidently, the wolf girl got herself injured more than just a few days ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In some parts of her body the blood had already dried up and turned into dark brown stains, while in some other parts the blood was still dripping out of her wounds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wendy was too stunned to say anything, so Skrull replied, yes, she's a witch. Your first aid was done very nicely. It's great to know that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Neither Nana nor Lily was in the city, and Leaf's herbal medicine could only heal some minor injuries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now, receiving injuries this severe was no different from getting a death sentence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fortunately, the first batch of witches from the sleeping island had just arrived at Neverwinter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wendy thought that if that witch was here, she might be able to save the wolf girl. With that in her mind, she ran even faster. Every second counts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although Lorgr was not an official member of the witch union, Wendy felt that the wolf girl was already somewhat related to the union because this girl must have received some divine guidance and thus came to this city. Wendy did not want to lose a sister again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three days later, Wendy walked into a bedroom carrying a basin of hot water that gave off a strong smell of medicine. How's her condition? She's still alive, but other than that, ashes shook her head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Such serious injuries are way beyond what can be handled by her self-healing capacity, and it was a miracle that she even made it to the city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If she had not been that strong-willed, she would have died in the wilderness without anyone knowing about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When it came to treating wounds in the emergency, the extraordinary was the most experienced one and thus took over taking care of the injured girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She stripped off the Wolf Girl's bloodstained clothes for a general checkup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the bandage was removed, all the witches were shocked by the injuries all over her body. Some cuts were so deep that one could see her bones. Cleaning her wounds alone cost them almost half a day. But you don't have to worry too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ashes pointed to Nightfall, who was lying in a bed nearby. Don't you notice that she looks a lot better than yesterday? Do I? Nightfall asked in a weak voice. How come I don't feel any better?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys help Diffy. That means you've helped us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This witch of the former Bloodfang Association had an incredible ability called symbiosis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She could connect her own life to another one's by planting her magic seed in the person who would then become her symbiote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through this connection, she could share the symbionts pains and sufferings and thus help the person recover faster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More importantly, half of the nutrition she got during a symbiosis period could be absorbed by her symbiont.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Given that, this ability was currently their best option to keep a near-death person from dying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland had been unconscious and unable to drink or eat anything for months after the battle of souls against Zero, and the only reason he was still alive was due to Nightfall's help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But of course, Nightfall was not the only one who came to help the Wolf Girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her Highness Tilly had sent another witch called Pandora, the primary healer for the Sleeping Island witches, to stop Lorda's internal and external bleeding, which had significantly reduced the pressure on the symbiosis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pandora's ability had been proved to be very helpful during their campaign to crush the rebellious action of the Bloodfang Association.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leaf cerebral medicine also help to keep the wounds from worsening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cleansing water, which was stored in the castle's basement together with the ice blocks in case of an emergency, prevented any infection from getting out of hand. Everyone did their best to help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, whether Lorgr could come back to life still depended on her willpower.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three days ago, they had sent animal messengers to the northern region.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the following days they would have a difficult time waiting for information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly, Lorger's finger flinched when Wendy was about to wipe her body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At first, Wendy was dumbfounded and believed that it might just be an illusion, but then she saw the wolf girl's lips tremble slightly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lorda appeared to be whispering something, but her voice was so feeble that her words were indistinguishable. Wendy's heart raced uncontrollably.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She forced herself to calm down before she quickly bent forward and placed her ear close to Lorger's mouth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of the time, he would circle Neverwinter with two or three of his subordinates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But sometimes, he would choose to head out alone. In theory, he was already the chief of the police department and the third most authoritative person within the kingdom's security bureau, so he didn't need to do any patrols personally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he continued to do so as he preferred to get himself involved in the field rather than doing paperwork in the office.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had already been in Neverwinter for a year and a half, and there were two things here that impressed him the most.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first was the exponential rate at which the city was expanding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It took him only half an hour to walk around Border Town when he first arrived, but now it would take him at least three times as long just to circle the city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not even including the harbor to the south and the farmlands to the east.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Secondly, the law and order of Neverwinter could only be described as amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most common crimes were theft and brawl, but they were also the most serious ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crimes such as homicide, robbery, kidnapping rarely happened.

[Assistant] The security of Neverwinter had deteriorated before when there was a massive influx of refugees. But with the combined efforts of the police department and the witch union, the troublemakers were swiftly dealt with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His majesty's promise on solving every single crime was not a bluff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the face of Summer's retrospective ability and Vanilla's tracking ability, no criminal was able to escape the law.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Due to the high risk and cost of crime, coupled with zero tolerance for black street rats, Neverwinter's public security was able to experience a visible improvement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He insisted on his daily patrols as he wanted to feel this peace. He would feel an immense sense of pride and satisfaction whenever he saw the carefree passersby strolling around late at night and seeing the trusting look on their faces as they saluted to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was surprised himself that he could turn out to become a law enforcer respected by all instead of ending up a street thug that was condemned by the public.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had never experienced such a feeling when he was in the patrol team. Both of these jobs were designed for the same purpose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even the procedure and the tasks were similar, yet they lead to entirely different results.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The main difference would probably be the capabilities of the rulers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chief, should I go with you? He was greeted by Whistle who had just dispersed his troops outside the city hall. Oh. Are you not going to spend time with that lady today?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You even know about that. Whistles' face suddenly began to turn red. Well, it's not necessary to stay together every night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of the passers-by burst into laughter at his remark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looking at Whistle's back as he went away excitedly, Vader became a little emotional.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he had first left Valencia, he was alone and had thought that he would spend the rest of his life in solitude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did not expect that he would be able to accomplish so much in his life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He started to consider finding his significant other after buying an adjoining house for his father Cacuseum and himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just as Vader was about to walk out of City Hall, a shrilling alarm suddenly went off in the city. Woo woo, his face froze.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sound of this alarm was utterly different from the ones that were used before. It consisted of a crescendo that was in an endless repeat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the kind of sound that would not be forgotten when heard once. It represented the highest level of alert that was not heard even in the months of Demons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, he had only rehearsed it during a drill, so this was the first time he had actually heard the alarm blare across the city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to procedures, when the highest alarm sounded, Neverwinter would be placed under martial law. The city gates had to be all closed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His majesty is now leading the troops to recover the kingdom of Grey Castle, so this is definitely not a drill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just what exactly had happened that would make the garrison sound this alarm?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dammit, it just had to happen now when Neverwinter is at its most vulnerable. He gritted his teeth and shouted, stop standing there. Hurry up and get into action. Whistle, recall everyone that's on vacation. Firehead, take the rest and follow me to the wall. Do what you did when we carried out the exercise. Do you understand?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vader's thunderous voice not only awakened the police members from their days, but it also shook the city hall officials into action. Yes, I understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The city hall became busy instantly, but Vader was in no mood to bother about those officials. He rushed out of the castle area with a group of police.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he saw the confused residents on the street, Vader felt completely stressed out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since this alarm system was only put into practice after the new year, it had not even gone through a city-wide drill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps His Majesty did not expect such an emergency to happen so soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now that it did, it can only be considered as a careless mistake by the garrison.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the decision were up to him, he would have sounded the regular alarm bell at the same time as to evacuate the people wandering on the streets. But anyways, now is not the time to complain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vader clapped his hands and made the surrounding residents focus their attention on him. Everyone listen up. Go home right now and stay indoors. This is an alarm of an enemy attack. I repeat. Everyone go back home now. Go home immediately and don't stay here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Firehead and the rest also started to follow his example and shouted out to warn everyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fortunately, the police department had the trust of the residents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coupled with the fact that the administrative department had also gone through multiple drills with the routine alarms, everyone started to move to the residential quarters after hearing the warnings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this manner, a group of people started to shout as they ran towards the city wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The soldiers were everywhere on top of the city wall, and flags were flapping widely against the setting sun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The artilleries on the platform were readied and aimed towards the vast grassland in front, waiting to fire as soon as they see any slight movement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Witnessing this scene, Vader was able to calm down a little.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as the first army was around, no army can breach through this invincible defense line. This was a point-proven battle after battle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The police quickly committed themselves to on-site security and ensured a minimal level of order.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Vader was puzzled as to why while the highest level of alarm was sounding, the grasslands and jungles of the western region remained motionless. Where are the enemy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the meantime, another group of people started quarreling in one of the meeting rooms at the Lord's Castle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of an unknown witch's mumbling, you triggered the alarm of the highest level. Barov looked at Wendy with an expression of disbelief. Do you know how much trouble and loss this will cause us?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We don't even know whether this woman named Lorda can be trusted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if I'm not mistaken, your only evidence is her sleep talk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's ridiculous to shut down half of Neverwinter only based on this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do you expect me to explain this to His Majesty if we end up not being able to accomplish our previously assigned tasks?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to His Majesty Roland's plan, the City Hall, the Security Bureau, the First Army, and the Witch Union were the four major organizations that constituted the administrative body of Grey Castle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Except for the Security Bureau, for the other three organizations to take action, they would first have to get approval and support from the other departments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This set of rules was initially made to utilize the full potential of the kingdom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When His Majesty was around, hardly anything would go wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, the problems would usually arise whenever one is majesty was absent from Neverwinter. It was difficult for the three parties to reach consensus on any given topic in a short time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hence, when Wendy heard demons are coming, she thought the best course of action would be to sound the alarm first and ensure the safety of Neverwinter before going through the process of holding a meeting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't as if she didn't know how much trouble this would cause for the city hall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were wheat fields in the misty forest that produced hundreds of bags of gold and two seeds every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those seeds need to be transported to the docks by workers before they can be shipped to the northern region, the southern territory, and the other newly conquered territories of His Majesty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, the supply of timber, mushrooms and fruits from the forests would be negatively affected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The livestock farming in the grassland pastures would also be stalled. Bear of scolding was not entirely uncalled for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Originally, the plan was to build a new city wall before the Third Battle of Divine Will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They would form multiple layers of defense together with the existing walls, thus effectively improving the defense line of the impassable mountain range.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your smelting area and factory in the north of the city would then be much safer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The flow of resources from the forests in the North Slope mine would not be cut off even after battle commences. But this plan was after all still a plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one expected that news of the demons would come so soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The curtains hanging down the walls of the conference room started to sway as Alathea's voice resounded in everyone's mind. You cannot slack at all when dealing with the demons. They're no foolish demonic beasts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They won't wait for you to prepare before attacking. I don't think you're aware of how terrifying our enemy is. That's a real pity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After witnessing your king's brilliance, I thought you common people have made significant progress over the past few hundred years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As an ally in the fight against the demons, tequila survivors and members of the sleeping spell naturally had the right to attend the meeting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both Pascha and Tilly expressed their approval regarding Wendy's decision to sound the alarm of the highest level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is true that I do not know how scary these demons are because I've never actually seen them myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But are you saying that these guys can launch an attack out of thin air?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You kept mentioning how we have to be well prepared for their attack, and that I agree with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, the problem is that we can't even spot the enemy's shadow right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's the witch-controlled misty forest to our west and the watchtowers on the impassable mountain range to our east. Between the two is a flat, coverless grassland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any movements made by the enemy will be seen from miles away. Do we have to be even more cautious?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was clear that the city hall director was wholeheartedly devoted to Neverwinter's expansion tasks that were entrusted to him by his majesty himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wendy remembered that at the last meeting, Barov dared not even breathe loudly in front of the monstrous original carrier, yet now he even rebutted her directly. Not to mention the obvious sarcasm in his voice. I think it's necessary, said Ashes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, I was the one who suggested the idea to Wendy. And what's your reason?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it still because of the mumbo jumbo of a half asleep which that came from who knows where? Barov slammed his palm on the table. Don't tell me that you believe her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If her words can actually be trusted, or if your relationship is that close, then why isn't she a member of the witch union yet? That's not the reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I judge the situation based on facts. Ash is explained calmly. I have fought with her before, and I am aware of her capability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it were just one or two hybrid demonic beasts, she wouldn't have ended up in such a dire situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to what we know, a mad demon without the support of the demon stone is about the same with a demonic hybrid in terms of combat prowess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Furthermore, even if Lorgr couldn't overpower them in a confrontation, she could have simply just turned into a wolf and escaped. What exactly are you trying to say? She most likely ran into more than ten demons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There must have also been a flying devil beast that could track her from the air that caused her to be so severely injured.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ashes said matter-of-factly, besides, we also found a map on her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we are not mistaken, the characters on it were written there by lightning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although we don't know the details of her trip, one thing was certain. She had ventured out into the wasteland after she left Neverwinter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there were suddenly so many demons in the barbarian land, then we'd better start preparing to deal with whatever they are planning. I also agree with this judgement. Pasha's voice was much softer than Alathea's. Distance means nothing to the Devil Beast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they really wanted to attack Neverwinter, the news of their attack might still be on their way from the Watchtowers when the Devil Beast has already landed in the city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not to mention that most people don't even know about the demons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the enemy were to just drop into the city without any preparation on our side, the result would be catastrophic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tilly added and said the alarm would at least give people the time to go back to their homes home and hide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To him, compared to the first few people who voiced their opinions, the words of Princess Tilly certainly held more weight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was not because she was the leader of the Sleeping Island Witches, but it was due to her being part of the Wimbledon family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As she was a member of the royal family and the sister of the ruling king, the city hall director naturally had second thoughts about blatantly refuting her words.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He turned toward the head of the first army garrison, who was a quiet, middle-aged hunter, trying to pull someone to his side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the man remained silent and just stared straight ahead as if he was not paying any attention to the argument.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seeing the atmosphere tense up, Wendy took a deep breath and stood up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've already sent the message to the Northern Region, so His Majesty should be informed about Neverwinter's current situation and issue countermeasures soon. Lorgr could also wake up any moment now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I hope the director can stop worrying so much. As long as we gain a clearer picture of what's happening, we can easily call off the martial law. But before that, everyone should still be more cautious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She paused and said, as for the tasks set out by his majesty beforehand, we can make it up through other means. Berra frowned and asked, such as,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We might be able to use the devouring worm to transport the wheat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the Neverwinter workers would have to do to is transport the wheat from the Misty Forest to the third border city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alathia was displeased and said, we're soldiers, not porters. But as allies, this is something we can do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pasha stretched out her tentacles and curled them around Alathea's body, although Alathea did not appear to have a mouth at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wendy nodded thankfully and said, livestock can be transferred in the same way. And since honey has a lot of control over animals, we don't have to worry about them being scared by Fran.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The western region has an abundance of grasslands, and the lands along the shores of the Redwater River can be used as temporary pastures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Barrow's expression still did not look satisfied, but his frown had loosened up a bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know these measures can't completely erase the damage caused by imposing martial law, but right now, Neverwonder's safety is our utmost priority.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wendy knew perfectly well that it would not be enough to rely on tenderness if she did not want to let his majesty down and carry out her role as head of the witch union.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She must step up and become a person that people can rely on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there are any losses caused by this decision I'm willing to take full responsibility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the following week, the atmosphere within the castle was incredibly tense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hour long meetings were held every day, during which all the ministers from each department would come to report and discuss the current situation. So, are you still unable to find a trace of the demons?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wendy's promise to take full responsibility for her actions seemed to have lifted a heavy burden off his mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Either that or the smooth implementation of the plan for transporting the golden twos likely relieved some of his stress.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first army's lookouts have already expanded their surveillance range to the edge of the grassland, but they still couldn't find anything. The garrison leader replied concisely,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Further north lies the barbarian land, which is covered by a dense forest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without sufficient supplies, it would be tough to expand our perimeter any further. And that's all you can do, common people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll probably die to the insects living in the forests before you even get a chance to see the demons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alathea seemed keen on scoffing at the people of Neverwinter at every chance she got. Just leave it to us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A team of 10 gods punishment witches has already gone 15 kilometers into the Feral Plains and set up a small outpost at the Pearl Lake. The Pearl Lake? Wendy asked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's marked with a lot of birds' nests on the wolf girl's map.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The place was once full of lakes and springs, but now most of it has already turned into a swamp. There shouldn't be any dangers, right? Rest assured.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When it comes to fighting demons, we're far more experienced than you people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any God's punishment which can deal with three to four mad demons at the same time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With five witches as a team, they would have no problem wiping out a small demon patrol, Alathea said confidently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, if the wolf girl did run into a patrol team, then I'm afraid that the enemy's main force is most likely already closing in on us. Are they incapable of acting alone? Bear of asked out of curiosity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Due to their reliance on the red mist, it's impossible for the demons to stray too far away from their supply line, Pasha explained.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, demons can't move around freely like human beings who only need to breathe in air. Well then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the enemy is still quite far away from Neverwinter, why can't we call off the alert now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unless we can set up a web of sentry posts around Neverwinter, we won't be able to fully eliminate the possibility of the enemy sneaking into the city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But even then, the sentry posts would mean little to us, another senior witch added.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without enough sigils of listening, the sentries won't have enough time to send back the warning even if they were to catch sight of the devil beasts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was as if a layer of mist shrouded the whole area to the northwest of Neverwinter, and all they could do was to search for tiny clues in the wilderness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Wendy realized this fact, she could not help but sigh in her heart. Lorders News truly came at a bad time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If his majesty had not left for the expedition, it would have taken only a day or two for Sylvie, Lightning, Maggie, and Nightingale to scout out the current situation of the entire northern side of the impassable mountain range.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My own ability isn't particularly helpful in this kind of situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly, Tilly asked, Mr. Director, you may feel that I'm being nosy, but could you please tell me how the people of the city has reacted to the situation these past few days? Were they scared or panicked? That will be my pleasure, Your Highness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Recently, our clerks have received lots of inquiries, but most people just want to know where the enemy is and whether the First Army needs help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the news has heightened our people's morale rather than stressing them out. Even the productivity of the night shift has significantly improved. Please rest assured.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one blames the sleeping island witches for the coming demons. Well, that's good then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we don't cancel the alert in time, the prices of eggs will also begin to skyrocket. Let's put aside those matters for now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we need to raise the awareness about demons as soon as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since the demons are completely different from all our previous enemies, Tilly said worriedly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If someone takes this chance to stir up troubles and stigmatizes the witches as devil's minions again, the trust between the common people and the witches will be destroyed. This. Barov hesitated. I have to consult his majesty about this matter. So let's write it down in today's report. Tilly looked at Wendy. Understood. Wendy nodded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When she was about to summarize all the reports today, a burst of rapid footsteps interrupted the silence in the conference hall. They heard Ring's voice before seeing her. La, Lady Wendy, the wolf girl woke up. What? Everyone stood up in surprise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wendy could hardly wait to meet the girl and said, I'm coming right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ahem, I'll also go to have a look. Barov was about to follow, but Ashes stopped him. That's a girl's bedroom you're talking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it would be better if you just stayed here and waited for our news.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The moment Wendy entered the room, she saw that Lorger was struggling to get up from the bed, and beads of sweat were welling up on her forehead. She looked pale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She panted and then turned her head to look at the crowd pouring into the room. How long have I been unconscious? Ten days have passed since we found you. Wendy gently pressed her back into the bed. Don't move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your limbs, bones, and even inner organs have suffered severe injuries. Ten days isn't enough for them to recover.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You survive these days because of Nightfall's Seed of Symbiosis, but you still ought to stay in bed and rest before Nana comes back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After knowing the use of Seed of Symbiosis, Lordur slightly inclined her head to greet Nightfall who was lying in a bed nearby and said, Thank you. That's alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nightfall shrugged her shoulders, trying to appear casual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think it's quite good to be able to lie in bed and have chaos drinks every day. What exactly did you meet in the depths of the barbarian land? Ashes asked in a deep voice. You've mentioned demons many times in your sleep. Yes, I did encounter demons, many of them. Lorda closed her eyes to recall what had happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At first, I met two demons by themselves when I was chasing a hybrid demonic beast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They might have been scouts, or perhaps they were just out hunting for some demonic beasts. She took a deep breath.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I managed to kill them both, but I never expected that these two demons are but droplets in the vast ocean when compared to the army of demons that I spotted soon after.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Countless demons swarmed the tequila ruins, and among them were several colossal monsters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hearing the wolf girl's description, all the people in the bedroom fell silent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland and Lightning had once told Lorger that if an opponent was too strong for her to take on alone, it would be better to withdraw and report the news back to Neverwinter as soon as possible. Lorger always kept this in mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When she discovered the Demon Army, she decided to return to the Neverwinter immediately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, she had already proven herself in her previous battles, and she knew that she would have plenty more chances to fight against these demons once they invaded Neverwinter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Despite having made that decision, Lorgr did not leave the vicinity immediately and instead decided to scout out the movements of the demons from a higher vantage point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She did not want to embarrass herself by telling everyone in the city that she fled at the sight of the demon army.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lorda thought that if she were able to bring back more information about the demons, then even the Great Chief would owe her a huge favor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All this time, she had been trying to prove herself and gain the great chief's recognition rather than his apology.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It did not matter whether his words that day were out of genuine concern or just mockery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Simply put, for the wolf girl, this was about her honor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But for the entire Wildflame clan, this would significantly improve their status and the Great Chief's heart. That was why she chose to stay in this dangerous place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, she would never tell the witches what went through her mind as she did this. She would simply tell them that she was just curious. She began to describe her experience to the witches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I quickly found an abandoned stone tower that was covered by moss and vines near the ruins of tequila.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Half of the tower had already crumbled down, but it was still the best spot in the area for me as a vantage point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be able to transform and run away any minute in case of an emergency, I took off my clothes and stored them in my backpack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wrapped myself in a cloak and climbed up to the top of the tower.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I reached the top, I happened to find an opening in the tower walls that was covered by vines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was a perfect hiding spot for me, as many devil beasts flew over my position without spotting me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only then, I was finally able to get a clear picture of the massive beasts. Those are actually not living creatures. They're not alive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Much surprised, Wendy could not help but interrupt. I think so, Lorder said in a low voice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those monsters didn't seem to have any characteristics of a living creature. They were more like. Like what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like the iron bridge that your people built over the Redwater River. The witches looked at each other in bewilderment. A bridge?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those monsters had straight backs, which looked like the deck of a bridge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On either side of its torso, there were two long legs which resemble the pillars that support the bridge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, neither its torso nor its limbs were covered by flesh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was able to see right through its body with the empty gaps between its bones and metal pieces. Wendy gasped in fright. A walking steel bridge? Is this a new invention of the demons?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After resting for a short while, Lorda continued, each skeleton monster is nearly 30 meters tall with many demons secured to the top of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From a distance, it looked as if insect eggs covered its surface.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A huge sack hanged on one side of its abdomen, and it looked like some inner organ that had fallen out of its body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could see it pulsating with a dark red mist surging under the skin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She clenched her fist and then gently placed it on her chest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the name of three gods, those monsters looked like evil incarnate. Ashes frowned, and then?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These monsters laid down by the ruins, and hundreds of tubes came out of the sack and inserted themselves into the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Within seconds, all the soil surrounding them turned into dark brown clods and the weeds and trees around withered, as if life was somehow drained out of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After that, most of the demons sank into the ground, leaving only a couple hundred of mad demons and a dozen of devil beasts in the ruins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess they were responsible for some scouting or patrolling tasks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you ever seen a demon which has countless eyes and tentacles?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lightning mentioned this dangerous monster to me, but I didn't find anything like it in the army of demons. So how did you get hurt? I underestimated the enemies. Lordur looked a little depressed. I hid at the top of the tower for three days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many devil beasts flew across this area during this period, but it seemed that none of them were seriously patrolling the place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys said before that they were nothing but strong, simple-minded beasts?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The demons from the lowest rank are indeed stupid beasts, but once they get a commander, the situation will be different, Tilly said in a low voice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There must have been a senior demon among the enemies that besieged Lordaer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the face of an unknown enemy, no one can come up with a perfect battle tactic. Ash has patted the wolf girl's shoulder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were able to escape from such a formidable enemy and return to Neverwinter alive. That in itself is already an impressive achievement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was the first time Wendy had heard such a compliment from the extraordinary. Maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fortunately, the senior demon didn't come to capture me personally. Lorgr forced a weak smile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Immediately after I knew that I was spotted, I transformed into a wolf and tried to escape under the cover of the night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During the pursuit, their spear throwers were unable to hit me in the darkness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know how many enemies were after me at that time, but some devil beasts were always hovering over my position. You, you killed all the demons chasing you? Tilly asked confusedly. Hearing that, Wendy also began to wonder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Lorda couldn't get rid of the enemies besieging her, she would remain in a passive position under attack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact that she had suffered severe injuries also proved this point. It seems that she was in quite a desperate situation. No, they gave up hunting me, Lorga replied. I don't understand why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they had chosen to run after me for another day, I would have died from exhaustion. But surprisingly they all just suddenly withdrew. Red missed. Tilly quickly responded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They must have been afraid of wastefully using up the red mist that they brought with them. Do you remember the place where they started to retreat? Lorda thought for a moment while rubbing her forehead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seen Tilly measuring distances on a map, Wendy gradually realized what the skeleton monsters mentioned by Lorda might be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She thought of the church as siege beasts and guessed that the skeleton monsters were possibly also some machine driven by magic power, which was used to transport red mist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If that was the case, everything in Lorder's description would make sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The demon sinking into the ground and the soil polluted by red mist was just like the scene in the Devil's Town behind the snow mountain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to Lorder's report, the devil beasts that set out from the tequila ruins could only make it to the edge of the barbarian land. Does this mean that Neverwinter is still safe? Wendy wondered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After recounting her experience to the witches, Lorga was exhausted and some blood began to leak out of her wounds and had stained her bandage once more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seeing this, Wendy comforted the wolf girl and asked her to take some rest before Nana's return.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After that, she led the witches out of the bedroom and gently closed the door behind them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back in the meeting room, Wendy read out the newly acquired intelligence from the beginning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, Alathea rudely interrupted her when she started to talk about the safety measures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is no such thing as a safe distance when it comes to the demons. Tequila paid a heavy price before realizing this, and it would be extremely risky to use the Red Mist's consumption area to plan for the war zone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For instance, Devil Beasts are capable of carrying multiple gas tanks, thus extending their attack range, or they could bury a batch of gas tanks in advance and then replace them as they marched.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Naturally, the most direct measure would be to build outposts and use them as links to extend the attacking range.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fighting to gain control of these outposts will be crucial in the Battle of Divine Will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unfortunately, it will be tough to find all the hidden sentry posts in the vast plains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never forget that the demons are always more cunning than you can ever comprehend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wendy could not help but imagine the scene Alathea had described. The overwhelming army of demons would be launching fierce head-on attacks while at the same time setting up outposts everywhere to store their red mist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they succeed, the whole area would be quickly overrun by an endless horde of demons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This would have had cut off the communication and transportation of resources within the old Union's territories, which in turn would also endanger the surrounding areas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would be like a stone rolling down a slope. The more land they lose, the harder it would be to resist the demons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the end, they would no longer be capable of fighting back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I must say that you are fortunate, or rather we are all very fortunate, Alethea said while stretching her tentacles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though we can't use the red mist to determine the enemy's attacking range, at least we can determine their intentions through it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think the demons are likely to launch a large-scale attack on Neverwinter City in the immediate future. Could you elaborate?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ancient witch knotted its blob head. Any movements the demons make are based on their supply of the red mist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact that they went underground and left only their patrol team above ground instead of building a camp means that there aren't enough resources for them to use.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if there were attacks at the border, it would probably only consist of a few small skirmishes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, whether or not this situation will change in the future will have to depend on whatever happens from now on. Tilly shifted her gaze to Pasha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alathea's judgment is credible, said the latter while shaking her main tentacles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During the days of the Union, she led a small platoon of the Blessed Army and successfully attacked the Devil's Town multiple times, but her temper is rather bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My patience is only used on things that are worth worrying over, Alethea said bluntly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Compared to the Devil Beasts' long-range sneak attacks, I'm more concerned about those new war machines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would like to ask, how did the demons transport Red Mist before? Barah finally found a chance to talk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty much in the same way we would transport our supplies, Pash aside, with low level demons, carts, enslaved demonic hybrids, or transformed siege beasts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The time they require to prepare for war is also close to that of ours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every time a battle was about to start, one could see dozens of red mist supply lines running across the entire fertile plains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To stop the transportation of the red mist, everyone including the blessed army, the combat witches, and the common troops would have to go all out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we had to face a well-guarded red mist transport platoon, the blood of our soldiers would dye the whole plains red.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a result, those red mist supply lines were both the demons in our troops line of life or death. Alathia added, Everyone in the room was a bit startled by those words.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though they have not officially fought against the Demon Army yet, everyone could already feel the pressure that this fierce race had put on humanity 400 years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Under the guidance of His Majesty Roland, even Wendy could understand the importance of logistics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Transportation of supplies was undoubtedly a measure of an army's capability in sustaining itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suppose the demons did have the ability to construct such a large vehicle to transport red mist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This would mean that they would be able to provide large quantities of supplies for the front lines without expanding too many forces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fewer supply lines would mean that there would be a higher concentration of troops guarding the transport teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps the scene that Lorders saw would become standard for the Demon's inevitable march.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it weren't for Roland Wimbledon, she really would have no idea how the third battle of divine was to be fought. It was clear that the demons have changed dramatically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are now senior demons who can move around independently, not to mention the appearance of the gigantic skeleton monsters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other than Neverwinter City, the rest of the human kingdom's strength was probably even weaker than during the Union's time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She did not even dare to imagine a scene where those noble knights would charge into the sea of demons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All in all, the current situation does not completely refute our previous assumptions. Only the time was misjudged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aware of the fact that overemphasizing the hardships of war was probably not good for morale, Aletheacoff twice and changed the subject.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The black rock spire, which can produce red mist, needs to be built on the god's stone mineral veins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's not surprising that the enemy chose to capture the ruins of the holy city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, Tequila is now the easternmost godstone mining place on the Feral Plains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once the demons construct the spire, the range of the red mist will directly cover the impassable mountain range. At that time, any resistance will be futile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one could object to the fact that if the demons were no longer restricted in their movements, they would be able to launch attacks from any direction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And their flying devil beasts were much more flexible than the hydrogen balloon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would be highly possible to get attacked by them if one left the city area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a situation like this, it would be unlikely for humans to be able to resist for more than a couple years and in the end, they would be annihilated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though Wendy was not very familiar with the intricacies of war, she still had participated in these kinds of meetings multiple times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She knew that both His Majesty Roland and the Church of Hermes were adamant in stopping the Demon's plan to occupy the Tequila Ruins. It seems like the three parties were in agreement on this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fortunately, the demons have exposed their intentions prematurely, and considering how the Bloody Moon won't appear for another three to five years, we can still prepare ourselves to the fullest before launching a decisive attack. Alathia continued.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if we fail, the nearest blackrock spire to the demons is in the Fertile Plains, which is hundreds of miles north of the Dragon's Pine Mountains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wendy suddenly felt that her shoulders had become a lot heavier. Wait, wait. Barrow suddenly shouted. How you decide to fight the demons does not concern me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, we can't keep the gates closed forever, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since we now know that the army of demons is still far from Neverwinter City and that they won't attack us for the time being, shouldn't we call off the alert and get those farms back up and running?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe that Neverwinter requires a more reliable alarm system. The head of the Garrison followed up. His Majesty mentioned before that establishing a deeper defensive line would allow a higher margin of error when it came to the alarms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was wondering if it's possible to ask Miss Lotus to construct a few beacon towers along the plains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, it would be even better if we utilized what His Excellency Carter had mentioned, a communication tool that can connect dozens of miles instantaneously. This way, the City Hall's work wouldn't be delayed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first option was easy, but the second required both Anna and Roland since nobody knew how to actualize it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, delivering news through beacons may not be necessarily faster than a devil beast ambush.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since we already know the location of the demon's camp, it makes things a lot simpler. Pasha stretched out her tentacle and showed it in the light curtain. Through this, we can create a complete surveillance system to watch the demons, similar to a light curtain. In her tentacle, there was a five-colored stone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wendy immediately remembered what number 76 Phyllis had done before. Do you plan to use it to locate the phantom instrument?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, once shattered, the magic core will unfold the light curtain in the corresponding position. But the number of these magic stones are limited. Each time we use one of them, their number will decrease.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the same time, they are also essential in finding the keys of the chosen one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Therefore, I will only be able to use it in extremely important situations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, she instantly thought of another problem. This requires someone to get close to the tequila ruins, correct? But the demons have already. Rest assured, there is no need for you to worry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tequila would never do something as cowardly as proposing a plan only to have others execute it. This is but a small matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All God's punishment witches are prepared to sacrifice themselves. But it's still the best if you do not have to sacrifice yourselves. Tilly interrupted the other side with a smile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leave the task of placing the magic stone to the sleeping spell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though their fighting capacity is limited, they do possess a variety of skills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, being the newcomers in the western region, they must also contribute in order to gain everyone's approval. Isn't that right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't until Roland felt a tickling sensation around his ear that he suddenly realized someone was calling his name. You spaced out again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nightingale leaned dramatically on the long table, looking right into Roland's eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She held her chin in her hand with her head slightly lopsided and one pale index finger was swaying from side to side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was obvious that she had used that finger to fiddle with Roland's ear. Uhm, really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland cleared his throat, pretending that he was reading the statistical report that had just come in. Probably because of the warm weather today. It makes me doze off easily. This isn't the first time to use start a daydreaming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ever since you came back from Reflection Church, you've constantly been in a daze. Has anything happened?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland was about to deny what she had said, but the words got caught in his throat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knew Nightingale could tell lies from truth, and he could not continue to deceive himself either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though it had been almost a week he still could not understand what was going on. I did find something wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the whole thing is so creepy and weird that I don't know where to start. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it's so bizarre that I'm afraid it's beyond the scope of my understanding, Roland said flatly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As much as I hate to admit, it doesn't affect anything. In other words, this is completely personal. Telling her wouldn't help any, it would only make her worry. I see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nightingale blinked as if sudden enlightenment had struck her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland, however, knew she did not understand anything but just thought the whole idea cool. Don't tell her that I frequently daydream. Roland reminded Nightingale. This is something nobody else can solve. Of course! Nightingale's face somehow lighted up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She patted her chest, produced a slice of grilled fish from the sack and shoved it into her mouth, looking quite satisfied.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After obtaining Nightingale's Promise, roll inside internally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The data on the statistical report did not make any sense to him. What Roland had seen in the secret chamber of the church cluttered his mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why would a legendary figure appear at the early stage of the foundation of the Union?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From her portrait, it seemed that she had existed even before the Union Age.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland had later made inquiries to Isabella, Agatha, and Phyllis, but none of them had given him a definite answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was such a dim and distant past that nobody could tell who the person in the picture was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They could only conjecture that she had, at one time, been prominent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland used to think that there were only two types of people in the dream world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One was those defeated by Zero, whose souls were permanently bound to the building of souls, but who still more or less maintained a feeble connection with the real world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most typical features of them were the astonishing resemblance of their physical appearances and the memory fragments in their rooms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other type were fictitious characters who came out of thin air directly from the dream world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were fabrications of his imagination and the dream world itself. Roland was now not sure about his theory, however.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isabella told him that, according to her service records during the time she had served the Pope, Zero should be between 200 to 250 years old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Therefore, it seemed impossible for Zero, the pure witch who never aged, to imprison a person living 800 years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although Zero was much older than ordinary people, numerous figures in history had had much greater longevity than her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zero had been born after the establishment of the Church.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Based on seniority, Agatha and some other witches were old enough to be her grandmother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could the person in the picture intrude the dream world by herself?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This hypothesis was even bolder and more inconceivable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How can a woman from an ancient civilization survive in modern society and disguise herself so well? Where was her soul before the existence of the dream world?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, Land's physical appearance contradicted this hypothesis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was elegant and graceful indeed, but she was by no means attractive, which meant that she was not a witch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without any extraordinary power, one would, without exception, return to the earth 100 years after one's death, no matter how great they used to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most reasonable explanation, although the least creative one, other than the above noted two assumptions, was that the two people happened to look the same. In other words, it was a pure coincidence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would save Roland a lot of trouble if he adopted this theory, but he had a hard time convincing himself. Is it really a coincidence?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To find the answer, he probably had to ask her in person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland felt a little reluctant to enter that increasingly bizarre dream world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the same time, however, he did not like the feeling of throwing himself into the unknown and being kept in the dark either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In theory, it was better to pick the lesser of two evils.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After hesitating for about a week, Roland finally made up his mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was worth mentioning, though, that the nagging Tequila God's punishment witches and the free time after the tour of the holy city of Hermes had also contributed a great deal to his decision-making process. Roland was now accustomed to entering the dream world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he woke up, he noticed the calendar still showed the date on which he had last left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The surrounding had not changed a bit during his one month's absence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The picture of the martialist trainees on the nightstand still look new, as if they were recently brought back from the headquarter of the martialist association.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland took out his cell phone and dialed Garcia's number.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He soon got through and heard even breathing on the other end of the line. Hello? Roland glanced through the window. The first hint of dawn was faintly visible in the east. Are you doing morning exercises? Roland asked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland hung up, got changed as fast as he could and dashed out of the room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he passed the living room, however, he found Zero, still not entirely awake, half dressed. It was apparent that the little girl had just woken up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her wrinkled pajama tumbled down to one side, revealing half of her lovely fair shoulder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was wobbling in a pair of oversized men's slippers, which were apparently his. Roland clapped his hand over his forehead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just wait here for the food after you brush your teeth and wash your face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The restaurant owner placed two bowls in front of them, exhilarated and gleeful. He even gave the table another quick wipe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently, he believed that the arrival of the martialist had enlightened his simple premises for Garcia was, after all, a celebrity in the apartment. Thank you. Can we also have a fried egg, please? Roland drew out two sets of chopsticks. One for each. No problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he wasn't such an honorable man and above flirting with the God's punishment witches, they would have taken him long ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She split the disposable chopsticks and mixed the green onions and beef together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon the soup noodles turned an appealing brownish red color.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She first blew on the noodles to cool it down and then slurped them as if they were long, flowing ribbons. The slurping sound made Roland's mouth water. Wow. Roland twitched his lips. You know how to eat fast food pretty well. I thought you weren't used to this kind of street food. That's just your assumption. Garcia shrugged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been here for almost 10 years and have tried every restaurant around this area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just basic manners for a host to pick a relatively decent restaurant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Plus, I don't like being stared at by strangers all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland now noticed that not only did customers in the restaurant look in this direction from time to time, but random passersby as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Martialist Association won't help you with anything illegal. Roland wondered why she was so alarmed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had just returned from the headquarters yesterday and did not do anything illegal. Was there anything more illegal than the hunting license?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel regretful for bailing on her last time, so I want to apologize to her in person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Garcia studied him with great interest as if he were a stranger to her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then she waved away Roland's request and said, really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you know how important to have my master as a reference. Save it. She won't see you anymore. Perhaps Miss Lan doesn't hate me as much as you imagine. Do you want to tell me that she was nice to you at the orientation? Garcia said carelessly, get over with yourself. You've missed the chance I once gave you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, you don't really want to make an apology to her, do you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I can learn some training methods from martialists from her, that would be even better. Roland managed to keep a straight face. Garcia twitched her lips.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was about to dissuade Roland from pursuing such an unrealistic idea, but she, in the end, picked up her cell phone. By the way, what's your master's number? You can't get through anyway.
