The Little Witch’s Daily Struggle – Chapter 467

Chapter 467 Regional Lockdown

Quite a few excited people in the tavern immediately rushed out, clearly having been trapped for too long and eager to find the motorcade to confirm the news.

More composed individuals remained. Some already knew the news, others were accustomed to living in the Dream World and weren’t in a hurry to leave, while some guessed he wouldn’t speak without reason and wanted to hear his explanation or intelligence.

“Our previous guess was correct! Only this area is inescapable. The Nightmares in other regions haven’t increased, nor is there Nightmare Syndrome. We can still wake up as usual. This region, Robin Town, is cursed!” the person on stage shouted.

The tavern immediately erupted. Some people beat their chests in frustration, regretting not having left with the merchant caravan earlier, having missed a good opportunity.

“Wait a moment, if you say that, does it mean we only need to leave this small town to wake up and leave the Dream World?” someone asked.

“To be precise, no. The area cursed by Nightmares is quite large. Simply leaving Robin Town is not enough; we need to leave the Black Forest at least. Even the surrounding villages and towns are affected, so we must go further.”

“But we might be attacked by Nightmares on the road,” a woman said coldly, discouraging some who were impulsively thinking of leaving immediately.

“Can’t we wait for the next motorcade to leave together? Although we’ll have to wait a few more days, it’s relatively safer,” suggested a long-bearded old man.

His words resonated with many, as they felt they had already been trapped for over two months, so waiting a few more days wouldn’t make much difference.

“You are too naive. The Black Forest is full of danger now, and Nightmares are increasing daily. We don’t even know when they will organize another motorcade to depart. Do you really think the Four Great Families will let us go so easily?” the person on stage sneered.

“What do you mean by that?” some people’s expressions changed.

“As I just said, the threat of Nightmares is growing. No outsiders can enter Robin Town anymore, and the number of sick and fallen people keeps increasing. In such a situation with insufficient manpower, how can the Four Great Families allow us Dreamers to leave?”

Everyone found his words reasonable. Someone asked, “Then do you have any ideas?”

“It’s very simple. We are currently gathering people to form a group and leave together. Those willing to join can sign up. We’re leaving shortly, and we already have several powerful experts willing to join,” the person on stage said.

Many were swayed upon hearing this. Most Dreamers were capable professionals with combat experience. If they formed a group, they could indeed fight their way out.

But then, someone raised a doubt, “Wait a minute, you’re discussing this matter here?!”

Everyone suddenly realized. This was the Vampire Banshee’s tavern. Vampire Banshees were the best at gathering intelligence among the Four Great Families, with their information sources coming from the monopoly on the town’s service industry.

The service industry relies heavily on customers. If they escaped Robin Town, others would follow, creating a refugee crisis. The service industry would be the first to be affected, and the Vampire Banshees would surely not allow them to leave.

Everyone in the tavern became wary of the Vampire Banshee waitresses around them. Just then, a seductive woman walked onto the stage. “Everyone, please calm down. We have already made arrangements and will not obstruct your departure.”

“The Boss?” Many regular patrons recognized this woman. Unlike the other Vampire Banshees in the tavern, she did not have bat wings and looked like a completely normal person.

“She’s not a Vampire Banshee. Her aura is slightly different, more like Vivi’s, but still with some differences,” Jayad said to me.

Vampire, I immediately thought of that possibility. The legend said that the higher-ups leading the Vampire Banshees were true Vampires. This legend was true.

“Everyone, I have discussed this with the Matriarch, and she has agreed to send us out. All conditions will be handled by me. Once this opportunity is gone, it might be difficult to find another; who knows if the Four Great Families will be willing to let people leave again.”

This convinced most people. Many went to his side to sign up, quickly forming a small team.

Although I didn’t know what agreement he had made with the Vampire Banshee Matriarch, it was clear that the Matriarch likely required him to leave Robin Town to do certain things that were inconvenient or impossible for the Vampire Banshees to do themselves.

With so many people participating, the hope should be quite high. I paid the tab and led Jayad out of the tavern, preparing to find Amelia. If we could bring her and these people along, she should be able to wake up, and our objective would be accomplished.

Even if Amelia was unwilling, we would have Forcefully drag her away. That was my thought. As I walked, I suddenly looked up at the sky with a hint of doubt.

“By the way, Older Brother Jayad, we’ve been here for several hours, right? But the Blood Moon in the sky hasn’t changed its angle at all?” I asked doubtfully.

“That’s true. While a considerable amount of time has passed, and even our positions have shifted,” Jayad also remarked.

I had felt something strange earlier. After arriving in the Dream World, my mood was easily agitated or restless. Thinking about it, it might be due to the lighting; the blood-red moonlight was constantly unsettling me.

But so much time had passed, and the moonlight was still high in the sky. Not to mention sunrise, even its position seemed unchanged, which was quite peculiar.

Temporarily ignoring the matter of the moon, Jayad and I continued running towards the town gate. According to what Amelia had said earlier, she should be at the motorcade, transporting herbs.

We just needed to intercept her and then return to the tavern to sign up. It should still be in time, and if we were too late, we could join them along the way since more people were better. They wouldn’t refuse three more.

Upon reaching the town square at the gate, there were still many vehicles from the motorcade unloading cargo. I indeed saw Amelia leading a group of people on a large truck, unloading boxes of herbs.

I quickly ran over. Amelia was surprised to see me running towards her. Without a word, I pulled her along, “Amelia, come with me for a moment.”

“Huh?! Wait, wait a minute! What are you doing? I’m busy!” Amelia shouted, and the other people carrying medicine also looked over.

“Amelia, I’ve found a way for you to wake up. As long as we leave this area, you can wake up and leave the Dream World.” I remembered to tell her quietly to avoid causing a disturbance.

“Ah, that. I already knew about it. Unfortunately, it’s useless to me.”
