Chapter 1267: 1267
The so-called "magic pill" would be only effective when the magic was injected into a physical pill . Thylane had never told these nobles that she could actually induce her power into any object . The reason she chose pills was that it was easy for her to control her power, but it also made the nobles forget about the true nature of her ability .
In that party, Thylane had applied her ability to all the food and drinks . This was the only situation where the nobles would put their guard down .
It then appeared that people could also die of extreme pleasure as they died of pain . By the time the nobles realized what had happened, it was too late . They fell to the ground while holding their chests painfully as their bodies spasmed . Even those who did not overdose were also seriously impaired, their strength gone, with a mesmorized and dreamy look on their faces as though they were enjoying the most blissful moment in their life .
The girl slaves in the room all fled in a fright, and the guards outside could not stop them . Thylane and Momo thus escaped from the mansion .
They hence commenced their arduous journey as refugees .
When they heard about the immigration campaign to Graycastle, the two witches decided to try their luck at the Sedimentation Bay .
"I see . . . " Wendy murmured as she pulled them to her bosom . "You must have suffered a lot . I promise it won't happen to you again . "
"Don't . . . don't you despise us?" Thylane asked while biting her lip .
"Why so? Just because of your miserable past?" Wendy said quietly . "The church treated me like that too . I have no reason to blame the victims . Instead, it is those nobles that I should put blame on . "
"But our abilities . . . may bring misfortunes to people," Thylane said while clenching her fists .
"That isn't up to you to decide . "
"But once you take the pill, you'll never forget the sensation it has brought to you . You'd like more . In the end, you just want to indulge in the pleasure with no regards to anything else . . . If we stay, I'm afraid . . . "
"You fear that the king can't control it and will view you as demons?" Wendy said . "Rest assured . Our king . . . How should I phrase it? He isn't like any ordinary king . He's an eccentric but nice person . "
Thylane was stunned for a moment and echoed, "An eccentric . . . but nice person?" This was the first time that someone used such words to describe a royal .
"It means that you'll never know what he's thinking . You can't view him as a normal person . Therefore, there's no point in worrying about the consequence now . Trust is the most important thing to build a relationship," Wendy said . Her voice suddenly became extremely soft . "He also saved the witches from the Witch Cooperation Association in this way . "
After a moment of silence, Wendy looked toward Momo and asked, "You said 'our' abilities . Does Momo also — "
This time, the two witches hesitated for a long time before Momo spoke, "My previous master didn't want me to use my power, so he took away my magic eye after I was awakened . "
Wendy had noticed that Momo had covered half of her forehead with a dirty rag . She had thought that it was a branding scar underneath, but the truth was indeed much worse than she had expected .
Momo then took off the cloth and revealed her hollow socket .
"But they don't know that I still have my power . By removing my eye, I only lost half of my vision . Only the God's Locket of Retribution can completely block my power . "
Wendy heaved a sigh . Only Extraordinaries could integrate their magic power with physical bodies . Momo was definitely not an Extraordinary . The presentation of her ability was through her "vision", so the loss of her eye was just unfortunate collateral damage .
"Those nobles didn't really take Momo's ability seriously at first until something happened . Then her master removed her eye," Thylane said in a low voice . "They called Momo the Child of Hell and inflicted various punishments on her . She barely survived . "
