If it wasn't necessary, Chave was extremely reluctant to get close to Agatha.
Ever since she could remember, she had always felt that Agatha was somewhat gloomy and mysterious. She hid in her hut all day long and played with some inexplicable evil things. But what made her helpless was that Agatha was also recognized as the most accurate witch in divination among the Deceit Witches.
Due to her eccentric personality and ugly appearance, Agatha was not very well liked by the Deceit Witches. So most of the year, she stayed in the Haunted Hut in the Whispering Forest in the west of the city.
This was already the hinterland of the Deceit Witches' territory. Logically, there shouldn't be any overly powerful monsters or monsters. But because of the existence of the Haunted Hut and Agatha, the Whispering Forest had become a terrifying forbidden area for ordinary people.
Even ordinary witches would not be willing to set foot in this place!
So when Chave landed at the entrance of the Whispering Forest on her broom, she had to hesitate for a while before making up her mind to walk in.
Agatha's Haunted Hut was a full seven miles away from the entrance of the forest. Chave didn't land early out of respect for the witches. Instead, the Whispering Forest also had its own evil aspects. Looking down from the sky, all one could see was the silent forest and the fog that never dissipated.
Although Agatha's reputation was not good in the family, in the eyes of ordinary people, she had a different view.
Agatha was good at herbs and divination.
For ordinary people who bravely entered the Whispering Forest and were lucky enough to find the Haunted Hut, as long as they could pay the price, they could ask her for medicine to save their loved ones or ask her to do some divination.
And to do this, it was not easy for ordinary people.
At least when Chave walked into the Whispering Forest, she saw four to five narrow paths hidden in the thick fog, and a road sign that was slanted on the side of the road.
Because no one had taken care of it for a long time, the road sign was covered with withered plants and vines. It was also covered with dust and broken cobwebs. The greyish-black writing was already blurred and difficult to read.
Xue Fu walked over and stretched out her hand to pull lightly. The withered vines broke into countless pieces and scattered around. Just as Xue Fu was about to wipe away the dust on the sign to identify the location of the Haunted House, an ear-piercing screech above her gave her a fright.
A strange black crow flew down from the sky and landed on the tip of the wooden fork of the road sign. It tilted its neck and stared at her coldly with blood-red eyes.
Red-eyed Ravens were one of the most common low-level monsters in the forest.
Xue Fu sensed the special energy of the Eye of Witchcraft from the Red-Eyed Raven.
"Your Excellency Agatha, Cheffu has come to visit you. I hope to see you!" Cheffu said respectfully.
Other than the Agatha Witch, there was no one else who could have planted spies in the Forest of Whispers.
"So it's Xue Fu! I remember you. You're Rena's daughter, Angelina's granddaughter … I can't believe you've grown so much in ten years … "The Red-Eyed Raven tilted its head and sized her up. With a hoarse voice, it said," Since you're here, just come over! Just follow Felix, I'll be waiting for you at the Haunted House … "
With that, the Red-Eyed Raven flapped its pitch-black wings and soared into the sky, flying towards the depths of the forest.
There were four or five paths in front of it, but the Red-Eyed Raven did not fly towards any of them. Instead, it spread its wings and flew towards a tall ghost tree whose leaves were about to fall off. What was strange was that the Red-Eyed Raven ignored the eerie and terrifying tree in front of it and charged into it, disappearing into the thick fog.
Illusion?
Xue Fu could only follow behind it quickly and brace herself to pass through the illusion barrier.
Her eyes lit up.
After passing through the illusion barrier, the gloomy and depressing forest once again returned to its normal appearance. There were tall, verdant ancient trees, lush green lawns, and many strange unknown flowers … The sun could not be seen in the sky, but the bright sunlight shone through the mottled shadows of the trees, leaving an indeterminate light and shadow on the grassland.
Under the guidance of the Red-Eyed Raven, Xue Fu went deeper into the forest. Along the way, they saw large patches of herb gardens and gardens, which were filled with lush plants and flowers. Of course, there were even more strange herbs that they couldn't name.
Turning left and right in the forest, passing through one botanical garden after another, herb garden after another, Chave finally turned a corner and saw an abandoned house hidden in thick fog.
The wooden house was about two storeys high and looked old and broken. From the cracks in the walls, she could see the flickering light of candles.
As the slanted wooden door creaked open, an ugly old witch with a hunched back leaned on a cane and stared at Xue Fu silently. The dim candlelight shone from behind her, casting more and more shadows on her face.
But even so, Xue Fu's enhanced vision allowed her to see clearly.
Under the gray pointy hat and the dirty, old witch robe, the wrinkled skin, the hooked nose like an eagle's beak, the cold, muddy eyes of a dead fish, and the incomplete yellowed teeth were reflected in the eyes of the witch.
With the strength of witches, as long as they were willing to spend some time and resources, they could all have a decent appearance and body. For her to be willing to maintain such a disgusting appearance, it was either because she had been in contact with highly toxic or radioactive items, or she had a twisted mind that outsiders could not understand.
Agatha's attire was also a traditional witch's attire. With the improvement of witchcraft and the popularization of witchcraft tools, such attire was rarely seen. Only some of the more conservative witches were still working hard to maintain the traditions of the ancient witches!
At the moment, Xue Fu was wearing a light blue dress. Other than a few small ornaments with witchcraft waves, there were not many accessories related to witches. Looking closely, she was like an ice beauty with a delicate and spiritual temperament. It was hard to believe that she was actually a probationary witch with the strength of a Prospective Wizard.
"Come in!" Agatha opened the door, "Since you came here, you must have something to do. Come in and talk! "
The environment inside the house was similar to its appearance. Not only was it dark and damp, but it was also eerie and scary.
In the corners of the wooden house, there were piles of wooden boxes and glassware of all sizes. As for the soup pot, stove, experiment table and crooked wooden table, these were all common things in a witch's house.
Agatha moved to the soup pot with difficulty and stirred the muddy soup with a wooden spoon covered with grease. She scooped a spoonful and tasted it.
"Tell me … What are you doing here? Divination or making potions? "
"Your Excellency Agatha, I … I've been entangled by someone using divination recently. I can't get rid of it, so I want to borrow your power …" Xue Fu hesitated for a moment and finally said her purpose.
"Divination?" Agatha raised her head in surprise and stared at Xue Fu with her dead fish-like eyes, "Impossible … You have Angelina's blessing on you. Ordinary divination can't work on you at all!"
"Maybe the other party is not using ordinary divination?"
Agatha took a step forward and leaned in front of Xue Fu. She lifted her nose and sniffed.
"Hmm … It's really strange! Why do I smell a trace of fate … "Agatha raised her head and stared at her in astonishment," I heard that you have awakened the bloodline of the Witch of Destiny a while ago. It is reasonable to say that you should be favored by fate at this time. But why do I smell the curse of fate on you? "
Xue Fu hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.
"Grandmother Angelina is worried that I won't be able to successfully pass the Battle of Fate. She has already sent people all over the continent to clean up the awakened ones."
"Stupid!" Agatha banged the wooden staff in her hand on the floor, "She is the leader of the Deceit Witches and a powerful grade 4 Witch. How could she do such a stupid thing!"
At this moment, Agatha seemed so distressed.
"Did she forget the rules left by the Witch King? How dare she intervene in the internal affairs of the Destiny Witches? The inheritance of the Destiny Witches has been broken for nearly a thousand years. Now is the time for them to rise again. This is the top priority that all the Northern Witches need to pay attention to. And the chief is so obviously involved. Isn't she worried that she will be cursed by fate and implicate the entire Deceit Witches? "
Xue Fu lowered her head, and her crystal-clear snow-white face was also gloomy.
Turning to look at Xue Fu, Agatha couldn't help but stamp her feet and sigh, "Ahem, it seems that no matter how powerful a witch is, when she faces the test of blood relatives, she will make such a stupid mistake. This is all fate! "
"Lady Agatha, the inheritance of the Destiny Witches has been broken for so long. I'm afraid that the influence it brings will not be too big, right?"
"Hmph, what does a little girl like you know? It is precisely because they have been broken for too long that their return this time is all the more worth looking forward to. According to the agreement between the ancient witches and the laws of the plane, the lost inheritance will return after a thousand years of accumulated power. Do you think its influence will be small? Don't forget, this time the awakening of the Destiny Witches covers the entire Wizard Continent. Even the farthest south can hear the news of the awakened witches. Isn't this enough to explain everything? "
"Lady Agatha, then I …"
"Ahem, I understand!" Agatha sighed. "The more your grandmother does for you, the deeper the curse of the law of fate will be on you. No wonder you are deeply troubled by divination! Well, since you are here, I can't let you go back empty-handed. For the sake of the same Deceit Witches, I will help you see which blind guy has been spying on you! "
