Chapter 756 (1/2)

Roland was startled, ”Is there anything wrong?”

After a little hesitation, Phyllis said, ”Here's the thing We heard that within the last year, only one witch awakened here Is it true?”

Roland took out a name list that was made by Wendy from his drawer He could easily look up each witch's Day of Awakening and Day of Adulthood on it, it was prepared in the case that he would forget these important dates

After checking the list, he nodded and said, ”Yes, titches joined the Witch Union last year during Months of Deo, the other one is Summer, akened last year on her Day of Adulthood”

Phyllis knitted her eyebrows, saying, ”That's not right, Your Majesty How many people did Neverwinter have in the last year? 20,000 or 30,000?

Roland could not help but feel proud when talking about the population growth ”Probably 50,000, and this year there are already over 100,000 people in the city”

”A city of over 100,000 people resembles Arrieta in the early days When we retreated from the Fertile Plains, Taquila only had 250,000 people However do you kno many witches awakened every year in those two cities?” Phyllis' voice turned deep ”Even when the ic power tide touched the bottom, Arrieta had at least 10 neakened witches every year Taquila's number tripled that”

”Magic power tide touched the bottom?”

Agatha explained, ”Yes Thein this world has ups and downs like tides Two years after the arrival of the bloody Moon is the peak ofthis period of time, neitches will awaken everyday After the peak, the poill decline around the world With the ic power at low tide, this period between two arrivals of the bloody Moon will only see witches awaken during the Months of Demons”

Roland had heard it fros of the witches would happen when theHowever, he had only known that the poould have a peak every year during the Months of Deht that it had several-hundred-year cyclical fluctuations He was surprised, saying, ”But the third Battle of Divine Will is close”

Phyllis looked worried, saying, ”This is e're worried about Fearful Beast of hell appeared, whichthis period of tier than usual, and it will, according to Celine's test results Given this, lots of witches should awaken now If they are not in the city, they should awaken in nearby towns and villages Back in the Taquila age, our domains around the Holy City offered more witches than the city did Based on the Union's experiences, a city with a growing population should see a significant increase in the number of neakened witches But why don't we seein Neverwinter?”

Agatha said slowly, ”At first I guessed it irls or because the neakened witches were too afraid of the church to expose themselves and join Neverwinter However, now it see We've discussed with Pasha and come to a conclusion We think that sos of neitches and its influence is gradually expanding”

After a long thoughtful pause, Roland asked, ”If that's the case, will you be able to find out the factor?”

Agatha and Phyllis looked at each other and then shook their heads
