Chapter 756 (2/2)
He threw up his hands, saying, ”As you don't knohat to do about it now, let's assu a rest No matter how many witches awaken every year, we still have to drive the demons out of the Land of Dawn”
With that being said, he had to admit that if he had not established the basis of industrialization, which significantly reduced his needs for the God's Punishment Army or the Chosen One, this neould have been terrible for him
Surprised by Roland's reaction, Phyllis re while before she said, ”You're right We've got to defeat the demons no matter what”
”That's it” He smiled ”Ah by the way, I called you here because I want to ask you so about the Union Recently, I'm a little worried about the hars of neitches How did you handle these kind of things back in Taquila?”
”Your Majesty, it's simple At that time, all the people knew the 'half-quarter of an hour rule'” Phyllis was now speaking to Roland with a greater respect
”'Half-quarter of an hour rule'?”
She further explained, ”Yes, Your Majesty There's a warning before each awakening The free ic poill need about half a quarter to cohere inside a neitch's body During this period of ti sensation in the sto worse until she feels the first reater pains, but even they will still feel a prick in the beginning”
She paused for ato the 'half-quarter of an hour rule', when a neitch loudly announced that she was about to awaken, all the people nearby had to leave as soon as possible If they stayed in the place and thus got hurt or killed, the Union wouldn't pay thees she caused to a place”
Hearing this, Roland thought to himself, ”This is indeed a nice solution, but it only works when everyone is very fairls Theythe sign as a common stomach ache”
He asked, ”What if the neitch caused harm to the other witches?”
”If she didn'tpunishe she caused If she did, the Union would take full responsibility for her However, things like this were rare, since only a few of us were combat witches and a neakened combat witch could seldom cause harm to anyone”
”This is to say, back in the Taquila age, if some common people failed to escape from the scene where a witch awakened, the Union would only say it was their bad luck It's understandable as witches were superior to the coht and decided he simply could not copy this rule
Meanwhile, he also noticed the good part about this 'half-quarter of an hour rule' At least, it had raised the public awareness of the dangers that s of witches and s and every girl ht have a chance to beconals in the world where he had lived before, everybody knew red for stop, green for go and had to follow this rule to prevent dae
As noas not the Taquila age anyet aith all the daht, ”I'd better revise this rule, treating the witches and the coes caused by a neitch whoAs for the witches who don't e, theyothers Or, I can forulate the witches' behavior, which may be able to ease the tension between the witches and the common people”
