Witch Monastery

Arnold frowned, looking a little anxious. Ekta lowered his eyes, his expression was obviously not good: "Yes."

Hawthorne didn't say anything. He glanced around and then lowered his head without speaking.

Then, Ethan was the first to speak: "I can understand your feelings, young man. To be honest, when I first left the Red Sand Empire, the shock I experienced along the way was no less than what you have heard about this incident."

"I have traveled across half the continent over the years, and the only experience I have gained is that there is no absolutely correct experience or absolutely perfect standard in this world for you to refer to!"

“Everyone and everything deserves your careful thinking, analysis, and judgment on what is right and what is wrong!”

As he said this, he glanced at Morn, and then secretly glanced at Ekta from the corner of his eyes, and continued: "Moen, think more!"

He said this not only to Morn, but also to the Flame Witch. He used this way to express his opinion: he didn't mind Ekta's race at all. After analyzing and judging based on his life experience, he recognized that she was still his reliable comrade.

Then, beside him, Tierrasz was fiddling with the fruit and squeezing out the juice. Without even looking up, he said, "If your life is long enough, even if it's not as long as seven hundred years, you will find that this world is changing so fast with each passing day."

"The things you once believed to be the truth may very likely be trampled into the dirt because of the needs of the new era. Just like the country of the golden dragons, they believed that drinking was immoral and a blasphemy against the gods, so the entire country strictly prohibited alcohol."

"Now it seems ridiculous, isn't it? But people at that time regarded it as the truth, and this trend lasted for two hundred years before it was finally abolished."

She said this before looking up and showing a gentle smile to Moen: "So, nothing is unchangeable or unacceptable. All I can do so far is to care for and protect every one of my relatives and friends so that they will not be hurt by the opinions of outsiders."

Morn nodded in confusion with a learned expression. But it was not over yet. Not far away, Eric was moved and picked up his violin, and began to sing a sad poem: "Life is so fragile, fate is so unpredictable. The time of happiness is so short. Drink this glass of wine tonight, and we will eventually usher in an unpredictable tomorrow..."

Huo Sang raised his head quickly: "Stop, stop, stop! Today is a celebration party, don't sing these songs, sing something happy!"

The people around burst into laughter, and the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

In the distance, Kasa, who had just finished washing up, came over in her pink pajamas, nightcap, and cotton slippers decorated with little bears. She threw herself on Ekta from behind, squinting her eyes, and called out like a spoiled child, "I'm so cold, warm me up..."

As she spoke, she hung on the Fire Witch like a koala, her pink pajamas clinging to her black nun's uniform, and she refused to come down.

Seeing everyone's attitude, Ekta finally felt relieved. The light of the flame shone in her pupils, and she focused on roasting the mutton in front of her, and smiled and replied to Kasa: "Don't worry, the mutton will be roasted soon, and you won't feel cold after eating it!"

Two beautiful girls close together, their bodies

The lines of the girls' bodies were fully exposed by the soft fabric. Hawthorne admired the girls' graceful bodies, which was so pleasing to the eyes and relaxed his spirit.

Tierraszo brought out an oversized oval plate and covered the bottom with freshly washed lettuce. The green leaves, covered with crystal water droplets, made people's appetites grow at the first sight.

Annuo patted Kasha on the shoulder and asked her to stand up. Then he handed her a carving knife and cut the roasted lamb into small pieces and put them on the plate.

Soon, the long tableware was filled with hot roasted lamb. The rich aroma mixed with the fresh smell of vegetables whetted people's appetite.

Ethan brought chili pepper, cumin, pepper and other condiments, and distributed small plates to everyone so that they could dip the food in later. Moen also placed the cut fruits on a plate on the dining table as a condiment to relieve the greasiness.

A group of people sat around the dining table and started eating. Hawthorne forked a few pieces of grilled meat and placed them on the lettuce leaves. He then added some pineapple slices that An Nuo loved to eat, rolled them up, turned around, and prepared to pass them to An Nuo on his right: "Open your mouth, ah——"

An Nuo subconsciously turned his head towards this side, opened his mouth, and his pink little tongue was clearly visible.

However, she suddenly thought of something, and quickly shut her mouth, turned her head, hugged Ekta's arm on her right, and deliberately said in a pretentious tone: "Ekta, you are great, the grilled meat is really delicious, I love you so much..."

As she spoke, she hugged Ekta's left arm, rested her head on her shoulder, and rocked back and forth like a spoiled child.

The Fire Witch raised her head and looked at Hawthorne pitifully. At this moment, her right hand had been occupied by Kassa. The two girls were surrounding her intentionally, leaving Hawthorne aside.

Hawthorne gave a bitter smile and looked at An Nuo's actions, knowing that this girl was deliberately making trouble for him.

But he didn't care in his heart. He knew that this girl was not good at pretending to be ignorant. Besides, both parties had already explained everything in the morning. Now she was just joking with him at most.

He didn't care, and at this moment, a light appeared on his right, and then a tall figure in a milky white nun's robe appeared beside him.

It's Celine.

Seeing her coming back, Huo Sang paused and asked, "How is it? What's the situation with the senior management of Boro now?"

Before going to bed, he sent a message to the witch, asking her to take good care of Ekta and then find a chance to find out what the reaction of the top brass of the Pala army was.

After all, Sharma was a very important person. If he died like this, there would definitely be a lot of chain reactions.

Xilin sat down and then said, "According to my observation, they are still quite panicked. It should be that they did not have a plan for Sharma to be assassinated suddenly before."

"It is foreseeable that the Borneo army will be in chaos for some time in the coming period."

As she said this, everyone present fell silent. Although everyone wanted to curse Sharma, after all, his death would indeed cause a series of troubles...

Seeing that the lively celebration banquet was about to become quiet again, Hawthorne made a prompt decision to end the topic: "Forget it, we'll talk about it later. The most important thing right now is to enjoy this victory!"

"Eat, eat! Ekta, turn up the heat and keep grilling. This little meat is not enough for everyone!"

As he urged them like this, everyone forced themselves to forget the unpleasantness that had just occurred, and continued to eat while talking and laughing.

Hawthorne took another look and saw that Anno still had no intention of paying attention to him. He then put the rolled lettuce and barbecue into his mouth and took a bite.

His teeth cut through the crisp leaves of lettuce, and then the fat and lean chunks of lamb. The aroma of barbecue exploded in his mouth, and the rich aroma almost permeated his entire mouth.

However, the freshness of lettuce and the sweet and sour taste of pineapple followed. Although it was an extremely greasy barbecue, the neutralization of vegetables and fruits did not make people feel greasy at all, but made the deliciousness even better.

"call……"

Hawthorne exhaled hot air. Although his tongue was a little burned by the barbecue, he could not stop praising the wonderful taste and texture.

Chapter 763: Double Flight: Anno and Ekta (I)

On Hawthorne's left, Celine skillfully took the juicer and squeezed out half a cup of lemon juice, then handed it to him: "Eat slowly, don't burn yourself."

As she said this, she looked at Hawthorne with eyes full of love.

"Thank you." Hawthorne took it and drank the sweet and sour lemon juice. What followed was an indescribable joy in his heart.

On his right, An Nuo was flirting with Ekta while keeping an eye on his condition. Seeing that he didn't feel lost at all without her and didn't lack someone to accompany him at all, she couldn't help but pout.

Damn it, is the plan going to fail?

Well... don't be in a hurry. After all, this is a public place and there are too many people here. Some of them are willing to talk to him, so it is reasonable that he failed.

Wait until night... hehe, then I'll deal with him!

As she thought about this, a smug look appeared in the corners of her eyes again.

On Anno's right, Ekta was carefully observing her expression, noticing the obvious change in her expression when she watched Celine and Hawthorne interact.

, the Fire Witch couldn't help but lift her heart.

But then she remembered the frank and heartfelt communication she had with An Nuo in the bedroom before. After hesitating for a moment, she lowered her voice and asked directly, "Um, Miss An Nuo, are you jealous of Sister Xilin?"

An Nuo was stunned, then turned to look at her: "No... Hey? Why are you asking this?"

Her eyes gradually became suspicious: "Could it be that..."

Ekta shook his head in fear: "No, no, I just suddenly realized that you were staring at the priest and Sister Celine..."

The doubt in An Nuo's eyes gradually disappeared: "Oh, you mean this."

She shook her head: "No, I was just lamenting that my plan was temporarily frustrated, so I was thinking about how to deal with him at night..."

As she said this, she sighed, "Oh, why do you think I would be jealous of Sister Celine? I can't thank her enough!"

"If it weren't for them, Hawthorne wouldn't be what he is now..."

Ekta's pupils contracted, and she was not sure whether An Nuo knew Celine's true identity or not: "Uh, you mean..."

She learned the skill of saying only half of what she wanted to say without any instruction. This skill was very useful. At least now, Annuo, who was completely defenseless against Ekta, spoke out her true feelings without any scruples: "You may not know what kind of person Hawthorne was before."

"In fact, after knowing that I was in a relationship with him, my family sent someone to Donggang District, where he grew up, to investigate his past and made a report, asking me to be cautious in getting along with him."

Ekta was stunned: "Well... I really haven't heard the priest talk about his past... What was he like before?"

"Hmm..." An Nuo pondered for a moment, then continued, "Anyway, according to my family's investigation, he was a very perverse and violent guy at that time."

"Although he studies very hard, he is very sensitive. He always gets angry and conflicts with his classmates. He will hit people hard over the slightest quarrel and scratch their faces with his nails..."

"He has a younger sister. Have you heard of her? Because the family is poor, his sister can't have snacks. Sometimes when she is so hungry that she wants to cry, he will snatch snacks from other children and give them to his sister. He often fights with others because of this..."

Ekta was confused: "I've never heard him say that, nor have I heard him mention any sister..."

This was the truth. After all, Hawthorne only knew about this abducted sister from the original owner's remaining memories. He himself had no extra feelings for her except for some pity, and naturally he would not mention it to anyone.

An Nuo opened his mouth and then sighed: "That's right, he probably wouldn't mention it to you. After all, this should be a scar of his..."

"Anyway, later on, his sister was sold to a human trafficker by his father, and her whereabouts remain unknown to this day. This also became the trigger for him to run away from home. After that, he ran to Nangang District and fought with hooligans all day long. This went on for about half a year, and around that time, he entered your monastery..."

She knew all about this. Although the family behind her could not be said to be all-powerful, they were after all the most powerful people in Port Liber. It would be easy for them to investigate the background of a commoner.

Ekta nodded blankly: "I see..."

"Anyway, that's it." An Nuo nodded. "According to the family's report, Huo Sang was selfish, vicious, and violent. He liked to solve problems with violence. He also had moral problems. He was not suitable as a marriage partner. I should be careful with him."

"But the man I know is completely different. He is gentle, tolerant, selfless, willing to share, and willing to face the essence of the problem."

"Even many of his ideas and insights made my eyes light up - what could cause such a big change in a person's personality and ability?"

Ekta tilted his head, thinking that maybe it was because of what the priest often said, "When the granaries are full, people know etiquette", that he used to be poor and bullied so he was capricious and violent, but later he came to the monastery and had everything he needed, so he naturally developed these good qualities?

And An Nuo looked at Celine again and said softly, "It can only be the teachings of the Goddess of Life and the nuns."

"So, I am very grateful to them. Perhaps, when Hawthorne's mother died and his father was an alcoholic and violent man, they took on the responsibility of being his guardian. How could I be jealous of them?"

Ekta blinked and thought to himself that your understanding is completely wrong. The seven of us are all witches. It was only after being purified by the master that our previous values ​​were reversed and we became what we are now.

As for why the master has changed from the selfish, short-sighted little boy you mentioned to what he is now...

Hmm... maybe it's what I think?

Or maybe your family’s investigator deliberately exaggerated some facts in order to prevent you and your master from falling in love?

Ekta thought so, but then lowered her head. She decided that she would tell Hawthorne all these things without missing a word later...

The two girls were mumbling to each other, but it did not affect the warm atmosphere of the celebration party. The excitement of the crowd had basically reached its peak. At this moment, even Eric, the spoiler, stopped singing his depressing songs.

Instead of singing a song, he picked up the violin and started playing some cheerful music.

Ethan clapped his hands, followed the rhythm of the violin, and began to sing. Hawthorne raised the water glass in his hand. After all, it was not suitable to drink in the military camp, so they naturally chose to use juice instead of wine, clinking glasses in the middle to celebrate this rare victory.

The happy time passed like water, and before we knew it, it was already late. The people gradually felt tired and naturally wanted to leave. Everyone stood up and began to clean up the messy table, extinguish the flame of the barbecue grill, cool it down, and clean up everything. With concerted efforts, the scene was cleaned up in just ten or twenty minutes.

Everyone returned to their rooms, washed up and prepared to rest. Although they had slept for a whole day, their biological clocks had to return to normal.

Celine walked to Ekta's side, ready to take the witch back to the house to rest, but at this moment, Anno held the fire witch's little hand and refused to let go.

When most of the people had left, she suddenly took the initiative to say to Celine, "Ekta, please sleep with us tonight."

At the back, Hawthorne, who was preparing to wash up and rest, suddenly looked up at An Nuo with surprise in his eyes.

Chapter 764: Double Flight: Anno and Ekta (Part )

Celine looked at Anno with surprise. Her yellow-green pupils moved back and forth between this Paladin girl and Hawthorne. She didn't expect it to be so easy. She had actually been dealt with by her master.

If that’s the case, can I be a little more unrestrained in the future?

She thought so, but finally suppressed the idea of ​​being unbridled, let go of Ekta, and took a half step back: "Okay, then, you will take care of her tonight, Miss Anno."

As she spoke, she glanced at Hawthorne out of the corner of her eyes, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she lowered her head, and slowly retreated.

Anno then took Ekta with him and walked towards her and Hawthorne's room. Hawthorne followed and watched the two girls being intimate. His heart was pounding. He was nervous and excited, not knowing what Anno was going to do.

He stepped forward, stretched out his arm, put his arm around the girl's shoulders, lowered his voice, and asked softly: "What are you doing..."

An Nuo shook his shoulders, pushed his arm away, and hummed: "It's none of your business."

Then she quickly added: "Oh, yes, you are not allowed to sleep here tonight. Just find an empty place to spend the night."

"Tonight, Ekta and I will sleep here together..."

As she said this, she hugged Ekta and went into the house, pretending to close the door. Hawthorne raised his eyebrows and curled his lips. He did not agree with her arrangement. He took a step forward and blocked the door with his body, trying to squeeze in.

While squeezing in, he said with a sly grin, "Hey, I won't. I'm going to sleep here tonight. What can you do about it?"

"Go away, you're dreaming." Annuo smiled, put one arm around Iketa, pushed his body hard with the other hand, and blocked the door to prevent him from entering.

Hawthorne rolled his eyes, and since the hard way didn't work, he tried the soft way. He then hugged her body and said pitifully, "It's cold outside, dear, you can't just watch me freeze to death outside, can you?"

This was a lie. Ever since he received the blessing from the silver dragon, the low temperatures in nature could no longer pose any threat to him. Even if he took off all his clothes and lay on the frozen river to sleep, there would be no problem for the whole night to pass.

But unfortunately, An Nuo naturally chose to forget this information. She sniffed her nose and felt that she was not in the right to argue about this matter, so her hands softened and she moved her body to the side, giving him a lot of space.

Hawthorne squeezed in smoothly and closed the door. Annuo pouted and continued, "Okay, then you are allowed to sleep in the room tonight, but you can only sleep on the floor, understand?"

She pretended to be fierce and set inexplicable rules for him: "You can't climb onto the bed without our permission. Sharing the same room with us is already a bargain for you, how can we let you take advantage of us so easily!"

Hawthorne glanced at Ekta's expression and found that this witch was also secretly looking at him, but there was not much worry on her face, only a smile that she could hardly hold back.

Suddenly, a smile that he could hardly hold back appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Don't you want to give me a bargain so easily?

Tonight, I'm going to take advantage of all the advantages!

As he thought about this, he suddenly took a step forward, hugged An Nuo in his arms, put his hands on her waist, found the sensitive spots on both sides, stretched out his fingers, and gently tickled: "Hey, you dare to set rules for me, you are so rebellious!"
