Chapter 1212 - Rainbow Stone (1/2)
“Ahhh! Help! I can’t steer it around. Someone help me!”
A piercing shiek interrupted Roland’s train of thought. Roland looked up and saw the vehicle dash toward the flower bed at the center of the yard. In the vehicle sat Mystery Moon.
“You, you idiot!” Lily said through clenched teeth. “Hit the brake!”
“I did… but it doesn’t work, ahhhh!” Mystery Moon screamed in terror.
The car ran wild. It bounced off the flower bed and streaked toward the castle gate.
“Your Majesty, watch out!” Wendy shouted.
There was instantly a great commotion.
“Holy crap,” Roland said within himself, gaping at Mystery Moon who steered the vehicle frantically with her eyes clamp shut. He was astonished that a car without gas could go so wrong. What a monstrous driver Mystery Moon was!
Much to Roland’s consternation, the crowd was not dispersed. All the witches, on the contrary, stopped in front of the car. In a second, all the witches applied their various abilities. Anna summoned a Blackfire wall; Lotus created a ditch to separate Roland from the yard; Iffy summoned her Magic Cage, and Andrea was about to shoot her Light Arrow; Nightingale grabbed Roland by the arm, ready to drag him into the mist anytime.
In the end, Phyllis and Lorgar stopped the vehicle by force.
They grasped the bumper of the vehicle and lifted the car off the ground.
Then Anna turned down the Magic Ceremony Cube with her Blackfire.
The steam engine was immediately silenced.
“Ahhhhh! Run, guys!” Mystery Moon yelled hysterically, her hand still on the steering wheel.
“You BIG THICKHEAD!” Lily strode across the ditch and slammed her hand on the back of Mystery Moon’s head. Her scream instantly perished into a grumble.
Mystery Moon opened her eyes, her hands on her head, looking perfectly innocent.
“Mystery Moon!”
Seeing Wendy and Scroll dart in her direction in a hot rage, Mystery Moon realized that she had made a big mistake. She pleaded, “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry —” But it was too late. She had been dragged out of the vehicle and into the castle before she could justify her behavior.
“You always cause trouble!”
“No time off for you this week!”
“I order you to copy the rules of the Witch Union 100 times!”
“And you also have to complete five sets of homework before dinner!”
Mystery Moon’s cry reverberated across the whole yard. All the witches shuddered at the long murmur of echoes, except Anna.
“I examined the vehicle. There’s nothing wrong with the steering wheel or the brake,” Anna said to Roland. “There’s only one reason why Mystery Moon lost control.”
“What’s that?”
“She’s not strong enough to maneuver the car,” Anna said with a magnificently forgiving air.
Roland laughed at such an amusing truth. It appeared those who were weaker than Mystery Moon probably could not drive the car unless he installed an assisting mechanism to the steering wheel and the brake.
Lotus and Anna soon fixed the yard. Looking at a group of witch who was not able to disguise their eagerness, Roland said while shaking his head, “If you still want to go on a ride, then talk to Anna. As long as she agrees, I don’t have any objections. Just make sure that you don’t destroy the castle. Right, another thing. Don’t forget to come back for lunch.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
“Please let me have a go first!”
