Chapter 902 (2/2)
“That’s settled then,” Scroll said smilingly.
“By the way,” Wendy examined Scroll’s forehead with a curious look. “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. “At the beginning, when I wanted to remember something, I had to recall it from the bottom of my memory. 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. It was very troublesome, and I would get a headache whenever I overthought. However, I found that the contents of my memory became more organized over time.”
“What does that mean?”
“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.” Scroll paused for a minute and appeared to be weighing her words. “And the strange thing is that I can read a lot of the related items at the same time, in detail. Maybe this is what they mean by practice makes perfect.”
“I see,” said Wendy, greatly impressed. “His Majesty once said that a person’s memory was far more powerful than we could imagine. I found it unbelievable at that time, but now I believe that it’s no exaggeration.”
“Indeed, it’s a wonderful feeling,” Scroll nodded and said. “Now, whenever I begin to search inside my head, I’ll feel omniscient. But I’m not sure whether I’m going to be able to remember everything after His Majesty unifies Graycastle and extends his new management system to all the domains.”
Wendy was thrilled by this idea and thought, “What does that mean? So if Scroll 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.”
When Wendy was about to say something, sounds of hurried footsteps came from behind them.
“Lady Wendy, I finally find you,” a young City Hall clerk bowed to the two witches and said. “There’s a guy who came to the hall and refused to leave. He insisted on meeting the head of the Witch Union. 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 Posack,” answered the clerk. “He told us the reason, but we think he might be mistaken. He said that he’d found a girl covered in blood when he was tending to the cattle. He thinks that she’s a witch, but the girl was unconscious, so she couldn’t respond to his questions. We’ve checked the work plan for today and didn’t find any witch scheduled to work out of town. Do you have any idea as to what this might be about?”
“Posack, he’s a local man and has a good record. 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.” Scroll was puzzled and asked, “Might the witch be Leaf?”
“That’s impossible. Under the protection of the Heart of Forest, no one can hurt her.” Wendy immediately denied Scroll’s guess. Roland had decreed that all the new domains he seized this year should be sowed with Golden Twos. 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. “If some enemies were to break into the region of the Misty Forest that she controlled, we would have heard something about it. 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. We can still help the heavily wounded girl even if she’s not a witch.” With that being said, Wendy felt a hint of anxiety in her heart.
Am I forgetting something?
