After spreading her blanket, Nightingale turned around and blew out the candle flame.
The room immediately darkened.
She found it amusing that after being accustomed to lights and magic stones, she was slightly uncomfortable returning to using candles, despite it being a normal occurrence in the past.
But there was not a choice in this matter, the lack of time prevented the island from having a complete electrical lighting system installed, to the extent that even their resting places were drilled out of a wall by Aphra and the rest. Soraya then added a soft layer and isolated the moisture of the underground chambers and made the place into a bedroom. The furniture within were the most ordinary, with simple wooden tables and cabinets. As for the mattresses, they were laid directly on the floor.
Although Isabella was on the floating island, all the magic stone illuminations were used for the factories rushing to produce goods. It would take her some time to transform God’s Stone for the residential areas.
Despite the simplicity of the room, it was not unbearable. Aside from the privacy of having a room per person, there were even standalone toilets. There were even ventilation shafts that provided airflow directly from outside the floating island into the chambers, preventing the rooms from being too stuffy or humid. There was a shared reading area and a warm public bath at the end of the caves as well, enough to satisfy the witches’ daily use.
She wasn’t that interested in the former, but Nightingale found the latter wonderful.
God knows how Pasha and the others had found the location—the stream that came down from the mountaintop into a cave mountain formed a natural clear spring, and after having the pool extend out the cave’s cliff walls, leaning against it provided a perfect view of the scenery outside. After the flight of the island, this location became the best place to overlook the vistas provided by the land.
Every day, Nightingale would soak in the spring water after showering and enjoy the spectacular sight.
Compared to this, the lack of lights in the room was nothing.
Just as Nightingale was about to lay down, she suddenly heard knocks on her.
She was startled, it was already late in the night and the majority of the people were asleep. Who could it be?
“Coming.”
Nightingale responded and relit the candle, while thinking about potential candidates that might be at her door.
The most probable choice was naturally Wendy.
After all, this person in charge of the Witch Union had the precedent of coming to her for idle chats after having had a few drinks.
But the person standing outside completely stunned her.
It was Anna.
Holding onto a small wooden bucket with a towel and toiletries, she asked, “Can you accompany me for a bath?”
Nightingale had taken a bath prior to heading to bed, but knew that the main point was clearly not the bath. “Of course, please give me a moment.”
Nightingale packed her things and followed Anna into the public bath, which was completely vacant and empty aside from the two of them. Occasionally, water droplets splashing onto the stalagmites could be heard, emphasizing the serenity of the night.
After stripping, Nightingale stepped into the pool and immediately felt the warmth envelop her entire body. Unlike Neverwinter, the island’s fuel was limited; thus, the public bath employed the use of a boiler that relied on magic power to ensure a steady supply of hot water the entire day.
The two walked through the white mist and slowly arrived at the entrance of the cave. Instantly, the refreshing night breeze swept the heat away as the world before their eyes opened up into a wide panorama. It was no longer edges and corners of the mountain stone, but stars and an endless night sky.
Nightingale gasped slightly.
