Chapter 591 (2/2)
It was too late! Heidi sneered secretively.
But her power did not take effect.
An invisible barrier dispersed her Power of Pulverizing.
“You’re wearing the God’s Stone of Retaliation!” Heidi mumbled with dilated eyes. “Wait. The thing that had hurt me wasn’t Andrea’s new ability?”
“You do seem quite energetic, you incorrigible bi*ch,” Andrea said with disgust, raising the iron bar and smashing it with all her might.
Heidi was instantly blind.
…
“This is the end.” Seeing Heidi Morgan and Skyflare being carried away, Andrea asked Ashes, “So how are things on your end?”
“It’s okay, but I’m afraid that Skyflare may not survive until the day when we arrive in the Western Region.”
“Lady Tilly said to keep them alive if possible. Why did you do it?” she said with a look of disdain.
Ashes licked the raindrop at the corner of her mouth and said, “I never thought she would be so desperate and risk her life to win. Besides, she does have technical fighting skills. Of course, I could have captured her alive, but I worried that something might go wrong at the essential moment. So I had to do it quickly.”
“You…” Andrea was speechless.
The Extraordinary sighed. “If you had shown the Glassbead earlier, maybe they wouldn’t have risked their lives in the end. But you chose to hold the flintlock, how could they know what it was?”
“Stop arguing. Lady Tilly is still waiting for your report.” Shadow reminded them helplessly. “Besides, you can’t stand in the rain and argue. What if you get typhoid?”
The two looked at each other for a moment, and then exchanged a despised look to end this argument, walking side by side to the palace.
…
After giving her report, Andrea noticed that Tilly did not look well. After solving this great trouble, Tilly did not look happy or relieved. On the contrary, she seemed a little glum.
Ashes took her hands in hers and asked, “What’s the matter. Are you sick?”
Tilly shook her head. “When I first saw Roland’s letter, I didn’t believe what was in it,” she said with a sentimental tone, “We witches have finally found our own home. Why did they want to repeat the tragedy of the past years? Isn’t it better to live in this place and be satisfied?”
“You’ve done a great job.” Ashes comforted her, saying, “Not all the combat witches will unconditionally accept Heidi’s way of doing things, especially when our living standards have improved. Some of them have already supported us, even members of the Bloodfang Association are no exception.”
“She’s right,” said Andrea. Although she did not like Ashes, Andrea did not want to upset Tilly. “The fact that Nightfall didn’t obey Heidi and fight to the death is proof. Given time, all the people will gather together firmly, just like the Witch Union.”
“I hope so.” Tilly took a deep breath. “Since Heidi did this, I can’t indulge her anymore. But according to Iffy’s view, most of the witches in the Bloodfang Association knew nothing about it, so later I’ll ask Camilla to call them here. If they’re willing to stay here and wait for results, we won’t treat them as enemies.”
The two nodded. Sleeping Island had finally become boisterous, so no one wished these people to leave.
“When the storm is over, we’ll bring Heidi to the Western Region,” she continued.
“To fight against the church?” Ashes was excited.
“Yes,” Closing her eyes, Tilly said in a low voice, “To fight against the Judgement Army, God’s Punishment Army, Pure Witches and the Battle of Divine Will. Just as Roland said in his letters, witches will embrace real liberation if we can completely crush down the church. I would help him even if he wasn’t my brother, for it helps me too.” She paused for a while. “Care to join me?”
“Of course,” Ashes answered without hesitation, “I’ll always be with you.”
Andrea nodded, but oddly enough, the smell of ice cream bread appeared in her mind.
