On the opening day of the Planar Gate.
After eight months of killing in the Otherworld, the factions of the northern witches had also returned to the Shadow Island one after another.
Those who had not returned by this time would probably never be able to return.
There was always a loss for every gain!
Even for the witches who had returned, their teams had shrunk to varying degrees.
The Dark Witches lost two people, the Death Witches lost one, and the Winter Witches lost one … Secretly counting, except for the Destiny Witches who lost four people, some of which were seriously injured, the losses of the other factions were mostly between one or two people.
However, the Destiny Witches were still not the ones who suffered the most!
Surprisingly, almost all of the Sham Witches who had chosen to go to the Ocean Empire had died. Only the Tier 3 Witch had managed to escape and return to the Ocean Empire. However, looking at her appearance, there was not much sadness on her face, so she should have successfully completed the mission.
You get what you pay!
The witches of the various factions suffered losses, but their gains were also abundant.
Chests after chests of rare treasures, cages of magical beasts, rows of non-humankind slaves, and bulging purses and storage rings...
Although the death of their companions was sad, the remaining witches had gained experience through the Planar Expedition and successfully collected a lot of Otherworld resources. It had to be said that the major wizard organizations used this method to achieve the survival of the fittest and select the internal elites.
At the same time, it also effectively tilted the increasingly rare wizard resources to the hands of the strong.
Of course, the real gains of the major witch factions would never be announced, and they were carefully and cleverly hidden. The only things that could be spied on by outsiders were the slaves and magical beasts that could not be hidden.
The Winter Witches, the Pale Witches, the Death Witches, the Pain Witches, and the Deception Witches chose to attack the human kingdoms, so the slaves and magical beasts they brought back were also of a variety, covering almost all the creatures in the Magical Encyclopedia of the Faern Continent.
The Dark Witches and the Destiny Witches went to the Elven Kingdom, so the harvest was all forest elves and natural magical beasts of various ranks. In particular, the Dark Witches seemed to have gone crazy and actually brought back more than four hundred forest elves in one breath. There were old and young among them, and it seemed to be a relatively complete tribe.
Transporting so many elven slaves back to the Sorcerer World would probably cost millions of magic crystals. Such a big move made all the witches secretly shocked, and they could not help but start to guess the reason why the other party did this.
In comparison, they had lost half of their manpower in exchange for Leader Alice's promotion from Tier 1 to Tier 2. This did not seem to be worth it! But considering that the Destiny Witches had just been revived and all their hopes were pinned on Alice, it was not surprising that she made such a choice.
On the other hand, the Witches of Destiny's capture was not very eye-catching.
Fifty carefully selected elven captives and more than thirty nature-type magical beasts. This kind of harvest could only be considered to be passable. Moreover, he didn't know what these Destiny Witches were thinking. They actually mixed a dozen stinky three-headed snake lizards with the spoils of war.
Although the three-headed snake lizard was rare in the Sorcerers World, it was not unique. As long as he was willing to put in the effort and search the Black Forest, he would definitely be able to capture it. But the Destiny Witches were actually willing to spend such an expensive "ticket" to bring these guys with only beginner level 1 strength back to the Sorcerers World. It was as if they were afraid that having too many magic crystals would burn their hands.
But these were all minor details. What really attracted the attention of the witches was the hypocritical witch who escaped alone. She was purely alone, with not a single spoil of war or a single captive. The situation was as awkward as it could get.
Seeing this situation, a few of the leading Tier 3 witches could not help but approach her to communicate.
Unfortunately, no matter how much they probed and teased her, they could not figure out what the other party's mission was.
Just as the group of Witches had gathered at the giant Teleportation Plaza on the Inner Island and were discussing this matter, the Wizard's Pagoda that stood tall within the volcano trembled slightly. It shot out a blinding white light, then slowly tore open a Space Fissure with violent energy surging within it.
The huge Wizard Formation hidden under the Teleportation Plaza also began to operate. A mysterious and profound Light Formation composed of pure magical energy slowly emerged and began to rotate slowly with the torn Space Fissure as the center.
Two tall strange giants suddenly appeared on both sides of the Space Fissure and roared. They grabbed the edge of the fissure with their hands and pulled it wider. When the Space Fissure opened to a width of thirty meters, the two giants roared and instantly turned into two tall golden doors, firmly stabilizing the Space Fissure.
"Hurry up and go through! There is a lot of flesh and blood of creatures like the Cloud Giants. This Space Gate can only last for a quarter of an hour, hurry up … "
Under the urging of the leading Pale Witch, the team of witches who had already counted the number of people in advance and paid the "ticket" finally began to move forward slowly.
Whether it was people or objects, or the otherworld magical beasts imprisoned in the metal cages, they were instantly sucked into the Space Gate and disappeared without a trace when they touched it.
The cries and screams of the captives in the team became louder.
Perhaps they had already realized that after crossing this Light Gate, what awaited them was no longer the familiar world, people, and things that they were familiar with. Their former companions and relatives would also be written off, and they would never have the chance to see them again!
…
Wizard World, Vilnin.
The location of the Witch Council.
The strange phenomenon caused by the vibration of the Void Plane had not completely dissipated.
Inside the huge Light Gate in the Teleportation Hall, layers of ripples in the space kept trembling. Every time it trembled, a number of strange creatures would be spat out from it.
These captives and magical beasts who had never experienced inter-plane long-distance teleportation were all lying in the cages with a weak look on their faces. It was obvious that they were undergoing the baptism of the Wizard World's Plane Law. Those who were slightly weaker opened their mouths and panted desperately. Every breath they took was as difficult as going through a life and death battle.
On the contrary, when all the Witches and Wizards stepped out of the Light Gate, they all seemed to be in high spirits.
The surrounding void continuously surged with a comfortable and gentle aura, like the warm embrace of a mother, causing the Witches and Wizards present to involuntarily be intoxicated, their souls floating.
This was actually a normal phenomenon after Wizards returned from the Otherworld.
After all, the Wizard World was the place where the origin of their souls were placed and branded. Only in this place could they display 100% of their strength. In the Otherworld, however, they would always be in a state of suppression and rejection.
"Hurry up, hurry up … Hurry up and transport these captives out to recuperate. These elves are too delicate, if we don't hurry up and take care of them, most of them will die here … "
Under the series of commands from the leading Witch, the tall Wizard Beasts that had been waiting at the periphery of the Teleportation Hall rushed in and helped the Witches carry the spoils of war and slaves out.
Alice, who was dressed in a purple starry robe, stretched out her hand to stop the Witches and Wizard Beasts in front of her.
"We don't need your help with our spoils of war. Tell your manager to hurry up and activate the Teleportation Formation, we want to return directly to the Tower of Destiny! "
Hearing this, the Witches were completely dumbfounded.
What … Teleport back to the Tower of Destiny?
Was this Alice crazy?
No matter how many spoils of war and slaves she brought back, it would only cost a few thousand magic crystals to hire a caravan to transport them back to the Tower of Destiny. But if they were to use the Teleportation Formation, they would probably need tens of thousands of magic crystals.
Just as the Witches were in a state of shock, another Witch stood out.
"Activate the Teleportation Formation, I also need to return directly to the clan …"
The Witches looked over, and saw that it was the only remaining grade 3 Witch of Deception.
It seemed that there was something strange going on between the two Witch Teams, which was why they were worried about any undue delay, and wanted to immediately return to their clan.
Regarding such a request, the Sedasilia Family, who was responsible for protecting Wilning, naturally had no reason to refuse.
Soon, after the rest of the Witch Teams left the Teleportation Hall, the Teleportation Formation here began to operate slowly.
Tong …
Following two muffled sounds, the Witches of Destiny and the Witch of Deception disappeared in the Teleportation Formation one after another.
… …
"Hurry up, hurry up, carry this … this … and this out for me!"
Under the command of Sophia and Chave, the Witch Apprentices who had long received the news swarmed forward, either using levitation spells or commanding their Wizard Beasts to carry the boxes of spoils of war out of the Teleportation Formation.
They had only carried out one-third of the spoils of war and captives they had brought back. The rest of the boxes and wooden cages were already placed in the Teleportation Formation, including the cages that held a dozen or so Three-headed Snake Scorpions.
"This time, the Witches of Destiny have lost a lot of power. I might need some time to rearrange the affairs here. I'll leave the matters over there to you … "Alice stood outside the Teleportation Formation, waving at Grim," The situation over at Lance is very troublesome, you have to be careful. "
Immediately after, a white light rose up and enveloped the entire Teleportation Formation.
When the blinding white light dissipated, there was nothing left in the room.
… …
Lance Plane, Metal Fortress.
As a dazzling white light overflowed from the Teleportation Formation, many figures suddenly appeared on the Teleportation Platform.
Smelling the familiar and intimate smell of the plane, the Thunder Dragon Armes, who had been disguised as a Three-headed Snake Lizard by the Baleful Polymorph spell, roared and broke free from the illusion on its body. It smashed the wooden cage with its head, and began to roar and stretch its body.
Following suit, the rest of the giant dragons broke out of their cages one after another, roaring as they restored their bodies.
