Chapter 353 (2/2)
Surprised by her response, the Prince shook his head helplessly, ”Well, next tio outside to visit the town and observe the way the people live, you can look for Nightingale and she will lead you there If you want to examine the historical records, you can ask Ms Scroll, she has all the books she has read in her head”
”The way the people live?” Agatha frowned, ”The Devils' threat is at hand; all I want to observe is theable to defeat the Devils If you have no real way to stop their attack, history and lifestyle will be less!”
The prince sht industry and people's livelihood are important as well”
”Heavy what? Light what?”
”It's nothing,” said the prince as he changed his tone, ”this afternoon a test of the performance of a neeapon will be conducted, there you will see But before that, I have soo in the Holy City of Taqila”
A neeapon the atha's mind were a crossbow and a trebuchet, if it's an ih to deal with the Devils But she kept her thoughts secret and replied, ”Go ahead”
”You mentioned before Taqila was ruled by witches, and ordinary people with no ical poere only counted as the lower class, what I want to ask is, how many meals per day did these people eat? What was their staple food? How often did they eat meat?”
She was shocked, the questions asked were entirely unexpected
”Civilians also had status, so trivial jobs likethe public order, and were equivalent to the weak support witches; next were the farmers and merchants, and at the bottom were the slaves and unskilled laborers As for your questions, I can't answer since none of the witches living in the uptown area paid any attention to what ordinary people ate The guards and servants in my toere supplied with three meals a day, and once a week they could eat meat, with the exception of the Months of Demons”
”How much were they paid?”
”Paid? Withave thee, there was no need for more rewards”
”So, it was like that” The prince quickly wrote so cattle, oods; itches also part of this sort of work?”
”Of course, those are the jobs of the support witches,” Agatha replied, ”Even if their skills are better than a common person, they didn't reach the standards of the Federation”
This sort of back and forth lasted for nearly half an hour The prince seemed to be interested in the basic necessities and daily life in the holy cities, asking very specific questions, andto understand hinificant details, did he not care about the Devils occupying most of the boundaries of the Wild Lands, and the invasion that was soon to come?
After resting for a moment, he handed the recorded contents to Scroll and continued ”You said you were a member of the Exploration Society, is this association dedicated to the study of ic power specifically?”
Finally, a decent question, Agatha nodded ”Yes, the so-called ic stones come from the transformation of God Punishment Stones They can suppress a witch's ability, but can also enable the witch to display an entirely different power”
Everyone was stunned by these words, the witch called Tilly ed to ask, ”How are they made?”
Feeling the past was finally of i a little proud as she answered, ”This is a secret pursued by the Exploration Society for over 400 years, so we could clarify the connection between ths to achieve I'e that can help raise the chances of a witch awakening in exchange”
Tilly and Roland looked at each other, ”Of course, I have no proble I don't understand”
As she raised her left hand, the blue crystal on her finger ring reflected a striking sheen
”This gem was found in some ancient ruins and allows me to have the ability to freely fly, so without a doubt this is a ainst the Devils, whether it's for defense or offense, it could give the troops the chance to take the initiative; even under normal circumstances it can be used to shorten travel ti when you retreated? Isn't it strange even for a High Rank awakened witch like you not to possess a ic stone so convenient?”
