Groundhog

## Kohl

**Groundhog (Kohl)** is possibly the only spy sent by Timothy Wimbledon. He was the first to correctly speculate that Roland had been possessed by an entity that he referred to as a "demonic being," while the majority of the world's citizens had accepted Roland's changed behavior despite his notorious reputation. Only Barov had suspicions regarding the prince.

Due to Roland and his officials promising a reward of 25 silver royals for the capture of a spy, Groundhog was swiftly identified and apprehended by the First Army. Prior to his capture, he had grown wary of the town after hearing rumors of an increasing number of witches. Deeply influenced by the Church, he labeled Border Town as a breeding ground for witches and attempted to escape by ship, even during the harsh winter weather. Upon his capture, he couldn't help but wonder about the ease with which he had been discovered and apprehended, but his questions went unanswered as he was promptly executed under Barov's orders.

## Background

After awakening as a witch, she lived in the sea like a fish and sometimes helped sailors in trouble. Because of this she completely lost touch with humans.

After a while, Margaret, with the help of Thunder and Sleeping Spell witches, managed to find her and then brought her to City of Neverwinter. Then... [Hide Spoiler] she joined the exploration group led by Lightning.[Show Spoiler]

## Chronology

In chapter 1135,... [Hide Spoiler] while examining the eastern region with Thunder's group, Joan gets sucked through some kind of water vortex to the other side of the world. While trying to get back to her friends, she meets The Guardian at the Bottomless Land, where some of her wounds get treated. Due to her isolation she once again loses her ability to speak, but eventually finds a fisherman's boat which eventually leads her to Neverwinter. There, after treatment against infections and parasites,she reunites with some of the witches.[Show Spoiler]

## Abilities

### **Magic Power**

Her ability belongs to the summoning type.

#### **Awakening**

**Partial Fish Transformation:** She can transform into any animal from the sea. After a long time living in the sea, some parts of her body remained in non-human form, such as scales.

Even without transforming, Joan is an excellent swimmer due to all the years she spent in a mermaid-esque form. Though it's implied her mermaid form can only swim well without clothing obstructing her tail, as she had to discard her dress beforehand.

## Relationships

### Maggie

Maggie is the only person in Neverwinter that understands her language. Likely because Maggie also has transformation magic; she typically speaks in coos.

## Trivia

* Her pale white skin is due to a lack of sunlight.
* Having lived without human contact for so long, Joan forgot how to speak. By chapter 1134,... [Hide Spoiler] Joan has recovered enough vocal control to speak two-word sentences.[Show Spoiler]

Hyde Gilen

Hyde Gilen is Nightingale's younger brother.

## Personality

Hyde hated witches so much, that he abhorred his sister when he learned she had awoken as a witch.

## Background

Born in Silver City, he was the son of a viscount and his lowborn wife. He had an older sister named Veronica. They had a happy life until an incident occurred where his parents supposedly died at the hands of rebelling refugees. It was later revealed that another viscount named Dott Somi, who originally had good relations with the late viscount, was responsible for their murder. After their death, he and his sister were taken in by the late viscount's brother, who was from a different branch of the Gilen family.

During their stay at their uncles, in the winter of that same year, Veronica awoke as a witch. When their uncle discovered it, he separated the siblings and by using Hyde's life as a threat, forced Veronica to do his bidding. However, despite her obedience, the two siblings were hardly in contact. As Veronica started suspecting him to be slayed by their uncle, she pressured him to let them meet. When they finally met, however, he was very cold towards her and expressed his disgust against her being a witch. In fact, it was Hyde that informed their uncle about her witch identity.

After reaching adulthood, Veronica slew their uncle with her new powers and ran away. Hyde later changed his family name, and joined the Somi family. From what he later told his sister, he lived a miserable life afterwards.

Starting from sometime later, and until very recently, Dott Somi used Hyde to sell Dreamland Water using relief food distributions as cover. This was to save enough capital to exploit the gold mine in the Gilens' territory, which was the whole reason viscount Dott Somi plotted to kill Hyde's parents and cooperated with his uncle secretly.

## Relationships

### Veronica Gilen (Nightingale)

Not much is known about the relationship between Hyde and his older sister before the death of their parents. However, after the incident, and after she awoken as a witch, Hyde informed their uncle, who greatly utilized her ability for his gain by forcing her. Hyde's hatred of his sister after she became a witch, and his betrayal, caused a rift between the siblings.

Their relationship didn't improve after Nightingale paid a visit to their mansion much later, exposing the illegal business he and viscount Dott Somi were conducting secretly. As this shuttered his plans to inherit the Somi household using her witch powers, he was enraged at her. They didn't interact afterwards.

Insignia of the Sacred Mountain and Magic Eye

Holy Mountain and Magic Eye Insignia (圣山与魔眼之印) is Barov's coin from the Witch Cooperation Association. It is not common currency and did not appear to be made of metal. After pinching it, it heats up to at least 40 degrees celsius.

City of Evernight

Former Kant Dukedom of the northern region of the Kingdom of Graycastle.

## History

Although Calvin Kant was the official Duke, the cities policies were often decided by his daughter, Edith Kant, who's political and combat skills, as well as her beauty, won her father the Dukedom in the first place, when they pledged their service to King Timothy Wimbledon.

## Chronology

Honey

**Honey** is one of Tilly Wimbledon's witches. She was sent to Border Town as one of the first 5 witches to be sent there by Tilly. She's currently in charge of the Ministry of Public Relations and Communications in the Kingdom of Graycastle.

## Appearance

She is somewhat shorter than one and a half meters. She has a head full of short fluffy curling brown hair, which resembled some fried dough twists. Her skin was slightly darker, and around her neck, wrists, and ankles she wore chains of animal teeth.

The manhua adaptation has Honey in shorts, a tube top and vest, befitting the appearance of someone who has lived in the wild and dresses to have the freedom of her limbs. In chapter 205, Honey is shown to wear a fur skirt in winter, along with a cloak

## Personality

She has a very lively temperament. Being full of energy while others like Evelyn and Candle are still groggy from waking up.

## Abilities

### Magic

Her magical power is of the summoning type.

### **Awakening**:

**Beast Tongue** **(Temporary Beast Taming)** - It allows her to tame all animals within the range of effect. The animals tamed by magic power would execute the instructions given by her but the instructions should not exceed the animal's ability. After the task was completed, the animals would be released or she would relieve the animals.

### **Branch Ability**:

**Animal Messenger** **(Animal to Animal Transferring Taming)** - She could pass the taming command through the messenger animal to the target animal—for example, summoning a bird to search for a more powerful animal to come around to serve her. It could be an old cat or a ferocious goshawk, but the final result was full of uncertainty and the process was totally uncontrollable.

### Weaknesses

Both the main ability and the derivative skill can be affected by the God's Stone of Retaliation, especially **Animal Messenger** as the command could be easily erased by the God's Stone of Retaliation and free the animal. In addition, the bigger the animal to be tamed was, the more magic power it consumed, for example, she could summon up to dozens of birds but could only control up to around two to three cows.

He attacked the Graycastle soldiers under the order of Hackzord, a demon lord, as he pledged fealty to the demons and became a duke largely thanks to their influence. Though it should be said that the specifics of the attack was planned by him and his men.

Marwayne's soldiers were equipped with various weapons including swords, tridents and even rifles stolen from the First Army by the demons.

Kajen Troupe

The **Kajen Troupe** is an acting troupe headed by Mr Kajen.

## History

Shortly after Roland's enthronement ceremony, the Karen Troupe came to Neverwinter to perform for the new king; unaware he really didn't care for the theater, and was busy trying to create the world's first movie. So when they attempted to apply to perform, they got rejected; however, due to their previous argument with May Lannis, they blamed her for interfering (believing she used her husband's status, unaware that it doesn't work like that in Neverwinter).

They tried negotiating with May to stop the "performance", but she told them that it was impossible and that even if the Star Flower Troupe called in sick, there was nothing she could do. Ultimately, Kajen went to see the magic movie and realized his arrogance had blinded him to the fact he was just pushing his own idea instead of considering the audience.

理由
--

Chen writes down the second law of thermodynamics in the language of this world. He ponders how witches can resist entropy and the arrow of time and supposedly create magic energy from nothing.

In order to prevent trouble with the Holy Church and the Witch Cooperation Association, Roland ordered the prison warden to find a death row criminal with a similar figure and use her to replace Anna at the gallows. Besides the Chief Knight and Assistant Minister, everyone who was with him in the dungeon was given 20 gold royals of hush money, which was a huge amount for them.

Barov asks Chen why he saved Anna.

Chen says the Border Town is dust compared to Valencia or the Port of Clearwater. To defeat his siblings to gain the throne, he needs talent--a witch's talent. Moreover, the expanding power of the Church was a big problem for Wimbledon III, so Anna's magical powers could be very helpful to defeat the Church. This Church was full of lies anyways, claiming fake power from God and claiming that the Pope was the sole voice of God.

Count Elk got in contact with his distant relative Hiller Dmitry, and they conspired to sabotage Border Town's food reserves. Thus Hiller sent his nephew Fierce Scar on the attack.

## Personality

Hirte was a narrow-minded and presumptuous man.

## Chronology

Earl Elk contacted his distant relative Hills Medde to organize food storages burning, thus leaving prince Roland without winter stockpiles and forcing him to retreat to Longsong Stronghold. The failed scheme wasn't approved by Duke Ryan and resulted in open confrontation between prince and duke.

At spring Hirte along with the other great nobles of Longsong Stronghold united under Duke Ryan on a military expedition to Border Town. Like most others, Hirte believed that their combined forces would easily overcome the town's defences and depose Roland as the town's lord. He was proven wrong when the town's defences easily repelled the knights, leading to the rest of the army routing in fear.

Although Hirte managed to survive the battle and retreated with what remained of the coalition army, he was later killed during an ambush by the First Army (The Annihilation of the Longsong Noble Alliance).

Meanwhile, Anna shows that she has further cultivated her flame magic.
Karl van Bate/Relationships

## Anna

He was sad after Anna's execution. His memories of Anna stopped at half a year ago. She didn’t stand out of her class of more than thirty students with her normal appearance and few words, but there was something about her that impressed Karl deeply.

It was her passion for knowledge. No matter what he taught, whether it was characters or history, she could always remember it on her first try. Even if it was the boring history and evolution of the religion, she could read about it all day. He had also seen the young lady help to take care of her neighbor’s sheep--sitting down in the sun, Anna would carefully brush the sheep’s hair, like someone would with a baby. He still remembered her sweet smile very clearly, and no matter how, he could not think of her as a sinister and evil person.

Then, after the fire on Anna' street and her mother unfortunately passed away, Anna never came back to school. He never saw her again until a week ago, when she was proved to be a witch and hanged in the town square.

## Roland Wimbledon

Karl is deeply grateful to Roland for sparing the lives of Anna and Nana, as well as giving him the opportunity to be a mason again.
Devouring Worms

**Devouring Worms** were one of the three types of shells left behind by the Underground Civilization.

## Appearance

Devouring Worms are giant worm-like creatures with a body large enough to carry people, or even buildings in their stomachs. Their mouths are filled with hundreds of razor-sharp teeth.

## Background

Apparently, Devouring Worms were the main tunnelling force of underground civilization, allowing them to build wide passages across the continent.

After the Second Battle of Divine Will, the Taquila Witches found one worm shell and transferred Fran soul into it, to put it to use.

## Chronology

The first Devouring Worm appeared during Agatha's rescue from hibernation. It was controlled by the Deep Sea Demon.

The second Worm destroyed and swallowed the Black Pagoda on top of the mountain. Deep Sea Demon merged with Eye Demon and summoned demonic beasts to fight against the joint forces of Witch Union, the First Army, and Taquila Witches. It was blown up by Nightingale, but managed to escape into ocean.

After the battle Taquila witches found two Devouring Worms shells. Later on, Jasmine and Lyra of the Taquila Witches successfully transferred their souls into them. Now together with Fran they turn the Impassable Mountain Range into a defensive barrier by building underground supply passages, and participate in construction of various underground facilities.

## Power and Abilities

Devouring Worms are capable of digging deep into the earth while carrying a large number of things and people in their stomachs. Their size also gives them an enormous amount of strength.

## Trivia

* Devouring Worm consumes as much food as a hundred people daily.
* The novel illustration of a Devouring Worm looks similar to a Graboid from the movie franchise *Tremors*.
Hunting

The fur trade was part of the local people’s own proceeds, they ventured into the westward forest, hunted some birds and other animals, maybe sold them to the Longsong Stronghold, or to the residents of the small town of Willowleaf. Because of this no transaction would be made in the border town and so no tax could be collected.

Roland thought, since he came, it couldn’t go on in this way; the minerals could no longer be paid for with food. The Chishui river ran through the whole kingdom, and the traffic was not blocked. There was a transportation artery, even if we would no longer buy food from the Longsong Stronghold, there were still other places to provide them.
Delta

**Caution!** This article contains spoilers!

God's apostle in the Divine Domain.

One of the 3 apostles in charge of finding the Dream World's creators and eliminating them. Eventually, he plots a traffic accident to isolate Zero from the Dream World and kill her, but gets disturbed by Fei Yuhan, which protects her until Roland finally arrives. With his arrival, Delta is killed,
which appears to not be permanent since the Apostles can reincarnate inside God's territory.

God's Locket of Retribution

**God's Locket of Retribution** (神罚之锁), or Divine Retribution Lock, is a jewelry inlaid with a God's Stone of Retaliation. It is widely used to disable witches' abilities during transportation as well as their other magical powers.

It was used to bind Anna in the dungeon.

## Appearance

Its appearance varies from one another, usually a metal chain and pendant with the Stone.

It was a red iron chain with a sparkling and translucent pendant, which seemed easy to destroy if the witch hadn’t been handcuffed.

In the manhua it appears blue.

## Use

This was the Church’s trump card to handle the witches. The power of any demon would collapse in front of the ‘God Punishment Lock’.

Karl van Bate

**Karl van Bate** is the Minister of Construction in the Kingdom of Graycastle.

## Appearance

Karl is a middle-aged man with some white hair on his sideburns. His skin is slightly tanned due to often being on construction site.

## Personality

After Anna was "hanged" for being a witch, Karl's world view had changed: he started to doubt his teachings from the Church for the first time in his life. After Nana's awakening, he made up his mind to fight religious propaganda and convince the lord of Border Town of the witches' innocence.

Karl is open minded and ready to complete any construction project whenever Roland propose it using all his building knowledge and advice.

## Background

In King's City Karl was the head of Mason Guild. To save money for the theater construction, Kingdom officials changed the stone material, which led to building's collapse and the death of over thirty masons. As the chief mason, Karl was sentenced to exile, while the Mason Guild was disbanded. After leaving King's City he moved to Border Town and established a local school. Unlike common practice in the Kingdom of Graycastle to teach noble's children, in Border Town he was teaching ordinary children. Among his students were Anna and Nana Pine. He was also one of the many people who passed down the Church's teachings to the people of Border Town before Roland arrived.

## Chronology

Karl responded to the mason recruitment post for the new city wall, hoping to save Nana and prove witches' innocence. After his joyful reunion with Anna, Karl asked technical requirements and voiced his doubts. To dispel his skepticism Roland demonstrated bricks bound by cement. Realising its potential he agreed to lead construction of defensive wall.

During winter and spring Karl was the busiest official of Administrative office. He was responsible for maintaining the city wall, construction of brick houses and, temporary wooden sheds for serfs. When Roland returned from Longsong Stronghold he was ordered to build stilt warehouses, furnaces and, public toilet in wooden shed areas. He asked the prince to invite the masons from the disbanded Masons Guild and received his approval.

## Abilities

Karl, as former head of the Mason Guild, was knowledgeable about the details and necessities in constructing buildings that were common in the Kingdom of Graycastle. This required him to be able to make precise enough measurements so that the buildings would be structurally sound.

Demonic Torture

Demonic Torture is what witches experience if they awaken before their 18th birthday.

## Details

Most of the witches' awakenings occurred during the Months of Demons, and it was on that day that the Gates of Hell were opened. Generally, the time when witches reached adulthood was a dividing line. If a girl had not yet awakened by her 18th birthday, then it was unlikely she would become a witch. However, the one who awoke before her 18th birthday would suffer the Demonic Torture on her awakening day every year thenceforth.

It seemed that the pain was hard to understand by normal people. As Nightingale spoke about this part, her voice trembled. According to her personal experience, it was like something was trying to escape from you. Each blood vessel and tendon was in distending pain. In the end, blood would seep through your skin and eyeballs would protrude out...

If you could survive, the body would slowly recover after four or five days of rest, or you would die in this torture miserably.

Nightingale had witnessed the deaths of many companions. Their body lost the energy to support the power and turned into a mass of bulging meatball. Blood mixed with viscera burst out of the body's holes, and then the air turned into black mist. Spray after spray would continue until nothing was left but sections of scarred flesh.

It was why witches were regarded as the embodiment of demons.

Ordinary people were terrified when seeing it, and who would care what caused the death? Plus the church added fuel to the fire, claiming that this was what would happen to demons. Over time, the witches became the spokespeople of evil.

No matter how outsiders saw it, this torture was real, and it was for this reason that the lives of witches were generally short. As time went on, it got more and more difficult, and as such, many of the witches chose to end their own life.

The demonic torture when a witch hit adulthood at the age of 18 was the most difficult hurdle to pass. In fact, prior to this point, the magic within them was incomplete, it was only after reaching adulthood that their power was stabilized. After the magic had stabilized, it would also see an increase, and new branches of the abilities could even be created.

Unfortunately, the process of stabilization was extremely painful. The torture of the magical power was so strong that the ordinary adult could not take it, and many witches would die on that day.

"According to the ancient books, the witches have to find Holy Mountain where they will receive eternal peace and save them from demonic torture. Is that true?"

"No one knows. Holy Mountain only appeared in the legend. However, if we bring them to the Witches Cooperation Association camp, they'll have a better chance to survive. Over there, they would not have to hide themselves and could live freely. The physical suffering will be much less than that of the past."

Cole

**Cole** was a spy sent by Timothy Wimbledon to watch Roland Wimbledon's movements.

## Personality

Cole followed two principles: *"You worked for whoever gave you money"* and *"Do as much work as you're paid for"*.

## Chronology

He infiltrated Border Town as a brother of a local citizen that has come from Fallen Dragon Ridge. After months of spying and witnessing the fast-building wall, the power of flintlocks and Roland's open attitude towards witches, he was sure the fourth prince was possessed by a demon. Not willing to become part of demon's sacrifice like the citizens of Border Town, he decided to leave the town ahead of time instead of staying and following Timothy's orders, he decided to take a sample of cement for his boss as compensation. When ship from Willow Town moored, Cole decided to sneak into it and bribe the captain to let him leave the town, but was surrounded. Seeing futility of escape or resistance he surrendered, wondering how he had been revealed. Later he was interrogated and hanged.
Earl Lista

**Earl Lista** was an earl in the Northern Region of the Kingdom of Graycastle.

## Chronology

After Roland Wimbledon defeated the previous king Timothy in the King's City, Duke Kant called the nobility of the Northern Region for a meeting to discuss the situation. As the heads of the Hawes and Lista families were in the opinion of waging a war against the new king, as opposed to declaring their allegiance to him, this opinion started to dominate the meeting.

As Earl Lista stood up to leave and started teasing the duke about his daughter Edith, Edith suddenly appeared and stabbed him from behind. In reality, the meeting was a trap set up by Duke Calvin and Edith Kant, who had already decided to cooperate with Roland, to catch the two rival families off guard and use them to show their loyalty to the new king.
