Chapter 211 The Last Witch (16)
Given the current situation... Shisui doesn't have much time to take care of Qimina's little thoughts.
The half-hour preparation time passed quickly.
Shisui placed her hand on the warehouse door, used her spiritual power to unlock it, opened a gap, and blew a breath out.
Dozens of guards inside and outside the yard quickly fell one after another.
Tokiho pushed the warehouse door open completely, put her index finger on her lips, signaling everyone to keep quiet, and then instructed them to sneak out quietly.
1, 2, 3...
The eight girls who were determined to leave all filed out and, following Tokiho's instructions, merged into the thick fog of the vineyard.
The rest...
"Qimina! Hurry up and catch up!" Shisui urged Qimina who was standing still.
Mina suddenly looked up and said firmly, "I've thought it through. I want to stay."
Shisui took a deep breath and said, "Could you please stop messing around at this critical moment?"
"I'm not messing around," Zimina said, now learning to be stubborn. "Don't you respect everyone's opinions? If someone can choose not to leave, then so can I."
“…”
Shisui really wanted to knock this stubborn little girl unconscious with a slap, pick her up and throw her out of the manor.
But even if you do this, it won't help.
There is a high probability that Qimina will continue to put herself in danger and continue to be entangled.
Compared to her, what is more important now are the eight gypsy women who have already run to the back mountain.
"Just wait here!"
Shisui said this, turned around, locked the warehouse door again, and followed behind the girls to protect them.
Taking advantage of the thick fog, everyone left the vineyard smoothly. They encountered a few miscellaneous soldiers along the way, but Shisui easily dealt with them.
Everyone gathered at the low wall at the back of the mountain and climbed over it one by one.
"Remember, once you reach the woods, disperse immediately. Follow the routes I arranged earlier and leave Santa Cruz Village in different directions. Do not act in groups."
Tokiho gives the gypsy girls final instructions.
She can only help up to this point. Whether the future will be good or bad depends on their own grasp.
The sky was already turning white, and Shisui returned to the warehouse along the same route.
At the latest in three or four hours, someone in the manor would discover that the gypsy women were missing.
Before that, Tokiho really needs to have a good talk with Zimina, whose attitude is wavering.
Bang--
The warehouse door closed.
Shisui walked straight up to Qimina, her eyes emitting a light as sharp as ice.
"Give me an explanation."
"...I don't want to live in a muddled way like before." Zimina clenched her fists. "Even if I can't learn witchcraft, I want to do something meaningful like you."
This girl...
Considering Qimina's indecisive behavior in the past two days, Shisui felt that she must have struggled internally for a long time before making this decision.
"I used to think I just had to live each day at a time, and never thought about the meaning of life..." Zimina buried her pretty face between her knees. "It wasn't until I met you that I realized there are people who dare to stand up to the powerful. You're so cool! I want to be a woman like you, too!"
Tokiho also sat down cross-legged and scratched her hair helplessly.
She has dealt with countless souls and always has a compassionate heart.
As long as it does not violate morality or harm innocent people, she respects the ideas of every living being.
"There are so many people who fight against power, and I'm not the only one." Shisui still had to correct Qimina's thoughts, "Do what you can do. If you do it just because you think it's cool—"
"No!" Zimina interrupted impatiently, "I just can't stand the nobles and the church bullying us. I'm willing to learn and do what I don't know!"
From this moment on, a gypsy without faith had a goal to pursue.
…
Three hours passed.
The gypsy girls who escaped all left Santa Cruz Village safely.
The maid who brought breakfast as usual was the first to discover the guards who had fainted outside the warehouse door.
The chief steward soon arrived upon hearing the noise.
Although there was no evidence, he could immediately guess that it was Shisui who did it.
Never mind elegance or not, his nose is crooked with anger now!
He was angry because Shisui had slept with eight gypsy women despite having reached a consensus with him!
In the past, if he lost a woman, he could point his finger at Walter and scold him, but now he is the main person responsible and has caused such a big disaster, he will definitely be despised to death by Viscount Santa Cruz.
He screamed frantically, "I shouldn't have believed you. You're a madwoman! Come on, drag her out and torture her! Use the torture pear!"
(PS: The torture pear was a very disgusting torture device in the Middle Ages. I won’t go into the details here, so those brave enough can search it on Baidu.)
Facing a group of guards rushing towards her, Shisui was not at all panicked.
She even kindly reminded the Grand Steward: "I die? Fine. But what about you? First you lost the gypsy woman who was offered as a tribute, and then you got rid of me, a wizard who could deal with the priests. Will your lord be happy with this?"
“…Damn it!!”
The chief steward cursed loudly, feeling indignant but helpless as he asked the guards to retreat.
