”I'm surprised. What do you mean, you have to die?” Elijah's hand was still helping Davina's violin make its final adjustments, and he seemed to have asked the girl this question without thinking.

Davina liked his attitude. She always hated people who made a fuss about nothing, and the feeling Elijah gave people was very comfortable and relaxed. Yes, no matter what, this man always gave people the illusion that he was right.

Davina stretched lazily, stood up, and started to pack her things happily.

”This is the so-called Reaping Sacrifice. They said that we would be placed in a place similar to a peaceful hell where we would be placed as sacrifices. After that, we would wake up and be reborn during the reaping.”

”Really?” Elijah's expression changed. This kind of explanation was clearly a loophole, ”In the end, what will happen to those girls?”

How could she be sure? She was a pitiful deserter, ”I didn't reach the edge of Hell, which means the ceremony hasn't ended.”

Elijah understood, he nodded at Davina, and spoke with a tone of certainty and tacit understanding, ”Or, is this the reason behind the witches' anger?”

Davina's movements slowed down, that's right, she was the witch's traitor, ”Yes, the harvest time is coming soon, if, before then everything will be over.”

It's already over, that represents the decline of this witch family, and represents the existence of no other witches in the French Region? No wonder Sophie and the others were so nervous, wanting to find this girl no matter what.

Davina very definitely agreed with Elijah's guess. He was very smart, ”That's right, what I need to do now is to patiently wait.”

Elijah fixed the violin and tried it again, ”So, what happened next?”

Davina revealed the first sincere smile they had ever seen each other, as she said with infinite anticipation, ”Then, they will be punished, and I'll be free.”

Elijah was very curious about how severe the punishment for being a witch would be, so he continued to ask Davina closely, ”Were you punished by Maser?”

Davina didn't think about Maser for a while. She shook her tail a little and retorted, ”It's the punishment for magic, do you understand? Our magic will fade away, and I will become an ordinary person. ”

For ordinary people, this was an extravagant wish, but for them, it was the same.

To be able to become an ordinary person.

In his dreams that he had hidden the deepest countless of times, Elijah had more than one hope, as all the members of his family were just ordinary people.

Life and death, enjoying the sun, rain and dew, happiness and pain, even, injury and sickness, until death.
