Northern part of the scattered towers, Ibess City.
This was the only public city closest to the Northern Territory in the scattered towers. All the merchants heading to the Northern Territory had to depart from here, which was why it was the place with the most witches in the central part of the continent.
As the Northern Territory was located at the northern border of the continent and was separated from the central part of the continent by the Boundless Black Forest, it was difficult for both sides to maintain close communication and trade.
Most of the connections between the scattered towers and the Silver Alliance were made by floating battleships, while the connections between the scattered towers and the Northern Territory were made by caravans that traveled through the Black Forest.
In order to better protect the caravans in the Black Forest from jungle creatures, magical beasts, defilers, and mutated creatures, a large number of wizards and apprentices gathered in Ibess City. On one hand, they provided protection for the caravans and earned magic crystals, and on the other hand, they took the opportunity to hone their combat abilities.
Both sides took what they needed, which made the trade route in the Black Forest the most lively place!
Ibess City.
In a secret room where the Deception Witches were staying.
A large cloud of black smoke emerged from an underground spell formation, and a slender figure wrapped in a palace dress was outlined with simple lines.
The eyes of the figure hidden in the black smoke were so sharp that no one dared to look at them directly.
"Nina, the latest batch of goods has been shipped, and it's estimated to arrive in 43 days. Send someone to receive them in time. This batch of goods includes rare resources such as Dream Dew Flowers, Lich Flowers, Tero Fruits, and 50 kilograms of Krypton Gold Ingots, as well as a large number of Frost Potions. It's estimated to be around 2.8 million magic crystals, so we can't lose it! "
"Understood, Lord Patriarch."
"Also, how's the task I gave you?"
Nina, who was always swift and decisive, could not help but hesitate when it came to the task.
"What's wrong? Did something happen? Was Fran killed? "The voice of the woman in the black smoke suddenly turned sharp.
"No, chief. Fran didn't die! Although her body was destroyed, her head and soul are still intact. She's currently recovering in the encampment. "
"Then what's the problem?"
"I've already proposed to the other party to pay 500,000 magic crystals to redeem Alice from the Moya tribe …" Nina said hesitantly.
"500,000? Are you crazy? Our family's annual income of magic crystals is only 3.7 million, and you actually used 500,000 to buy a little apprentice witch. You … "The woman in the black smoke couldn't help but take a step forward, her angry voice rising by three octaves.
"He refused!"
"…" The woman's voice came to an abrupt stop. After a long time, she coldly said, "What's going on? Who is the 'he' you mentioned just now? "
Nina raised her eyebrows and revealed a distressed look. She quickly summarized what had happened seven days ago.
The woman in the black smoke listened carefully and couldn't help but ask, "He said that the Moya girl broke through, is it true?"
"It has been confirmed. I even went so far as to sneak into Feldene City and get first-hand information from the apprentices there. The Moya girl had sacrificed all of her abilities and talents to become a witch. It is said that the innate spell he obtained is divination! " At this point, Nina couldn't help but ask, "Chief, how's the progress on Cheffu's side?"
The woman in the black smoke was silent for a moment and finally said, "Cheffu's talent in ice and snow is amazing. She has already reached the peak of a quasi-wizard. With another half a year of preparation and accumulation, it won't be a problem for her to break through …"
Both sides became silent at the same time.
Everyone knew that a domestic flower was not as strong as a wildflower!
That Moya girl had broken through half a year earlier than Cheffu, who lacked talent, resources, and knowledge. No matter what, she was a big problem. Although both of them knew what was going on, they didn't want to say it out loud, so there was an awkward silence.
"What's the reason that the Sarubo family doesn't want to hand over Alice? Do they want to interfere with the internal affairs of the northern witches as outsiders? "After a long time, the woman in the black smoke spoke again.
"It doesn't seem like the Sarubo family is in charge of this matter, but a fire wizard who just broke through. According to the information I received, the Moya girl only signed a master-servant contract with this wizard. The reason that the wizard gave is … is … "At this point, Nina couldn't help but hesitate.
"What is it?" The woman in the black smoke glared at Nina with dissatisfaction.
Although both sides were tens of thousands of miles apart and were connected through a spell formation, Nina could still feel the silent heavy pressure.
"He said he fell in love with Alice!" Nina braced herself and said.
There was another long silence.
Then, the woman's charming laughter came from the black smoke.
"Love? Haha … Love! Haha … "The laughter was crisp and melodious, but it suddenly turned cold at the end," Nina, I think you're getting more and more brainless! How can you believe such a ridiculous excuse! "
"But I have to believe the truth. Chief, I've already done my investigation. That wizard has no relatives, no one to rely on, and no one to support him. His advancement seemed to be an accident as well. He was only able to join the Salubo family after he became a wizard. "
The woman in the black smoke didn't say anything and listened quietly.
"He doesn't have a close relationship with the Sarubo family, and the Moya girl doesn't usually receive any special treatment from the Sarubo family. That's why I'm sure that the one who wants to protect Alice isn't Sanazar, who's in charge of the Sarubo family. Instead, it might be the wizard's idea. "
"What right does he have to protect Alice? Did you just say that he's also a newly advanced Magus? "
"Yes! He's called Grim, a fire element wizard. According to the information, he just became a wizard less than two years ago! "
"A young wizard who just became a wizard less than two years ago rejected your offer of 500,000 magic crystals?"
"Yes!"
"Is he crazy or stupid? Does he really think he can train Alice to the point where she can fight against Cheffu? Although Cheffu started half a year later than her, but … "
At this point, the woman in the black smoke couldn't help but frown in distress.
The Moya girl sacrificed all her power in exchange for divination. It didn't seem wise, but it gave the woman in the black smoke a bad idea. It seemed like the core witches of the Destiny Witches were divination spells!
If the opponent gave up on all attack and defense, she would definitely become the weakest one in the 'Battle of Destiny'. How could she be so confident that she could survive the cruelest battle of life and death with divination spells alone?
If she died in the first round, what was the point of strengthening the Destiny Witches' talents?
If … If she could survive the 'Battle of Destiny', she might really have a chance to become the strongest Destiny Witch in the past few thousand years. But what would she rely on to survive?
In the 'Battle of Destiny', the Destiny Witch candidates would be sent into the Tower of Destiny. No external objects or outsiders would be able to help them. In this situation, they would have to fight each other and guard against the remaining witchcraft traps and puppet wizard beasts in the Tower of Destiny.
How could a little girl with no fighting power survive? Any random puppet beast would probably be able to tear her into pieces! She didn't even have any offensive spells. If she really met an enemy, how could she win?
Endure the enemy's violent attacks, rush to the enemy's side, and stab them to death with a knife?
Of course, if the Sarubo family was willing to give her some magic scrolls, potions, and wands, she could still fight to a certain extent! With this method, it wouldn't be a problem to bully some apprentice-level opponents. But if she had to face other sorcerer level opponents, how much fighting power could she use?
Would the Sarubo Family really be willing to bet on her for such an action that was practically courting death?
The more she thought about it, the more difficult it was to understand. After thinking about it, the woman in the black smoke couldn't find the real reason why the other party rejected her suggestion to protect Alice.
Could it really be because of … love?
"Chief, what do you want Cheff to do?" Nina couldn't help but ask, "Learn from that Alice, or …"
"With Cheff's personality and her achievements in ice and snow, it's impossible for her to give up completely. And the process of the 'Battle of Destiny' has always been bloody and cruel. If Cheff gives up her fighting power, I'm afraid she won't be able to last until the end. "
"Can't we get rid of all the opponents that can threaten her?"
"We can't do it!" The woman in the black smoke smiled bitterly, "Destiny is the most difficult thing to grasp and control. All we can do is to get rid of those who pose the greatest threat. It's easier said than done to get rid of all the opponents! And the other witches are already dissatisfied with our actions, and have been continuously pressuring me recently. If we can't do it in the near future, it'll be even more impossible in the future! "
"…" Nina was silent.
They were openly interfering with the rise of the Witches of Destiny. Seriously speaking, they had already violated the commandments left behind by the Witch King. If they did it cleanly, and the other witches could not get any evidence, then the other witch leaders could do nothing about it.
But if those stubborn old fellows understood and took the initiative to protect the remaining candidates, it would be very difficult for the Deceitful Witches to do anything.
"Then what should I do?" Nina asked.
"Give up on that Alice for now. You need to go to the Mowas area in the western part of the scattered Tallinn. There seems to be a witch candidate who has just advanced. Get rid of her first. I've already sent the specific information over, so hurry up and do it! "
"Yes!" Nina's heart trembled, and she bowed in response.
It seemed that the power of destiny had also sensed the urgency of the situation, and so many troublesome fellows had appeared at once.
