Chapter 110: The Wave of Turmoil (1)
When Losa returned to the cottage he temporarily called "home", Peg was already there. Among all the witches, the only person who was not hostile was this person, which may also be why the witches chose Peg as the role of the contact with Losa. Because only she could allow the Count and the mercenary to listen to news and warnings from the witch group in a relaxed and rational state. Of course, the more important reason is that among the four witches who participated in the plan to release the two Losa, she could now sneak out to take the event.
"Where are you going? What does it mean to come back late even though you know that a guest would come?" When Losa approached the door, the Networm's question and the dissatisfaction in her words made the count smile bitterly. He raised the food in his hand and replaced his defense with his actions. The mercenary frowned slightly and took the things in Losa's hand, "I told you not to spend money randomly."
The Count scratched his head and made a helpless expression to the witch in the room. In fact, this is true. As the Earl of Montenegro, Lothar's consumption habits are very different from those of the networms who are mercenaries. They were not shown when they were in Cangliu before, but during the month of living in Shuxin Bay, the two, or the female mercenaries, have argued with Lothar on this topic. Especially in recent times, the networms themselves may have realized some changes in their bodies. Although they have not yet understood the reasons for this change, she obviously felt that their physical strength had declined. In this case, most of the economic sources that the two could rely on could only rely on Lothar, which further showed the importance of money management.
"It's okay, I expected this when I came out this time." Peg smiled. Before Lotha came back, she had already handed over the money she brought to the networm. However, the amount of this money was limited, which was also because the witches lacked the concept of money. They did not have the habit of hoarding coins but preferred to convert wealth into handicrafts or things that could be used as spell casting materials. The "blood money" produced by the witch group and the highest value currency in the Bay of Sadness is not something that young witches like Peg can touch on at will.
"Thank you, this can solve our biggest trouble right now." If it were money given by strangers, Lothar might not accept it easily. But the witches were originally the reason why they appeared here. Even the employer provided the activities funding for the knights seemed natural and natural. However, polite thanks were still needed. After all, Peg and the others could still choose to ignore Lothar and let them die. But the Count also realized what it meant when the witch paid them money.
Sure enough, Peg shook his head gently, and the expression on his face gradually became solemn, "No, money will not be your biggest trouble, it will not be soon." She said, gently tapping the wall a few times, and then a light green light flashed across the simple wooden wall. This was the spell she learned from cheese to cover up information in the room, but the witch made corresponding improvements according to her own situation when using it. The Count and the networm who walked back from the kitchen saw this wave and quickly understood Peg's intention.
"Tell me, what happened here. Your great witch called you and Qili back from Cangshi. It wouldn't be because of a tsunami that happened every few years." Losa said as he helped the networm lay the cushion, which he bought from a craft merchant for a day's wages. Although the latter complained as usual, he didn't say anything more because of the need.
"You are right. Although I still can't be sure of the intention of the great witch, this time it is definitely not as simple as a tsunami. I, no, it should be said that it is us, namely Hela, Jialun and me, through the information we have collected, we can at least confirm a few things." Peg's eyes swept across the faces of the two people in front of him. To be honest, she is more willing to believe in Lothar and the networm than the witch companion. Needless to say, the unique spirit of the Cangliu people is, the mercenary's clean and decisive form and style are much better than the feminine and even a bit sinister way of doing things. "First, we are fighting with the Siren now."
This is not a secret that is difficult to guess. The human and siren corpses discovered during the clearing of the beach in the Sad Bay made the two people who had experienced a series of events in the Curse of the Lady that the relationship between the witch and the siren was not as close as other people in the Sad Bay imagined. Since the shark-toothed siren dared to attack the witch's ships, it is not unintelligible to retaliate with the style of the witches and even start a full-scale war. But the key question is not here, "How large is the battle?" As a general, Lothar keenly grasped the terms Peg said, and fighting generally does not refer to all-out wars that bet on everything. So from the fact that the normal people in Sad Bay have not yet realized this, the scale of this battle is still quite limited.
"At present, it is limited to the senior witches of the witch group. As for the Siren side, I don't know very clearly. From the recent state, we guess that it is not just Shark Tooth, but the Lietao clan should also be in a tense state with the witch group. No, it is in a state of tension with the entire Silent Bay. If the situation of war further expands, it is very likely that ordinary people will be involved." Peg had a sad look on her face. She knew very well that not all ordinary people in Silent Bay would stand on the side of the witch. At that time, it is difficult to guarantee that the great witch would not cleanse disobedients for authority.
"Ordinary people have been implicated." Lothar shook his head and interrupted Peg's words, "or when the sirens take action, this war is not unrelated to the people here. I originally thought that the witches might prevent the situation from further development, but now it seems that I was wrong. But you don't have to worry, as long as your great witch is smart enough, the sailors will not mind helping the witch fight this battle. No one wants to distribute the ocean to other people, especially those people are not humans. Of course, the premise is that you can disperse the sea fog."
A large part of Lothar's words comes from his observations when he contacted ordinary people in Saixin Bay, especially the highest level of the human class here, namely the captains. Of course, they are not satisfied with the witch's tax collection, but what makes them even more dissatisfied is the squid's attitude of the squid. After all, the existence of the foggy sea and the existence of the squid is the power to strangle the throat of Saixin Bay. The free seamen do not mind bowing slightly to the ruler when they land, but they will never allow anyone to get involved in the sea that belongs to them.
"I think this may be the ultimate goal of the great witch. Apart from the witches in charge of the battle, many people have been assigned to do some inexplicable work, but this may be quite related to the foggy sea. The sea eggs you discovered before, I mean the giant eggs, are probably used in this regard." Peg sighed. She didn't know how much of her guess was right, but as a young witch, this was already the limit of her ability. "So what we mean is that since you haven't left the Bay of Sadness, try not to consider returning to Cangliu at this time. Now all the manpower has been put into reconstruction of the city, and the matter is still unclear. When the captains discover the hostility of the sirens, the war will probably expand naturally. They will not be willing to be locked here. And all you have to do is to stay away from this war."
"Stay away from war?" The Count repeated the four words, then shook his head, "That's not something we can decide. If the sea wants to flood the isolated island, will there be a safe place on this island?"
