Passing through a mountain road guarded by many guards, the red brick wall appeared in the snow forest.
From the sentries along the road, it could be seen that No. 76 would not be allowed to enter such a forbidden area if she acted alone. Senior Witches finally had the appropriate treatment. At least such a large number of guards would not bring shame to the name of the promoted.
Although she didn't quite understand why this genius would build his residence in the North Slope Mountain Range, it was a little difficult to understand.
In addition, she still maintained a skeptical attitude towards Wendy's statement. In any case, a Senior Witch who had awakened twice in a row at such a young age sounded too unbelievable. Although the number of awakenings did not represent the strength of one's ability, the perseverance, intelligence, and perception required to awaken twice were incredibly high. There were only a few such people in the entire Union. She did not expect to meet one in the kingdom of the common people.
As they got closer to the wall, No. 76 found something wrong.
"Is this really the witch's residence?" Over the top of the wall, she could only see a few roofs made of canvas. Not to mention castles or stone towers, she could not even see a one-story bungalow.
"Here we are." Vendy knocked on the gate of the courtyard wall. "The backyard of the North Slope Mountain is the research and development place for all kinds of machinery and equipment in Neverwinter. Except for studying time, Anna usually stays here to work. To ensure her safety, His Majesty blocked the entire mountain road and forbade unrelated people from entering or leaving. "
"So it's just a research institute..." No. 76 frowned secretly. "And the guards on the road don't belong to Anna, but are sent by the king?" "Although they say they are protecting her, they are probably monitoring her."
"Sister Vendy," a lively little girl opened the door. "I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Good girl, where's your sister?"
"She's doing a machine test with Sister Anna."
"And this is..." Amy asked.
"Lucia's sister, Ling White," Vendy introduced. "She's now a reserve clerk of the Union and has not yet awakened as a witch."
"Hello," the little girl greeted politely. "Please come in."
"Lucia White is also a frequent visitor here. Together with Anna, she is responsible for the research on metal materials." Vendy led everyone into the yard. "By the way, her ability evolved when she was an adult, and the increase in her magic power was only second to Anna. She's one of the few witches in the Union who can cast the Sigil of God's Will!"
Hearing this, No. 76 almost tripped over the threshold.
Wait, what did she just say?
Sigil of God's Will?
Fortunately, someone quickly asked, "What talisman seal?"
"The Sigil of God's Will," Vendy repeated with a smile. "A weapon that requires an extremely large amount of Magic Power to be used. It was very difficult for ordinary people to light up the four Magic Stones, so His Majesty hung them on the wall of the castle hall for everyone to test their magic power. If you join the Witch Union in the future, you can also experience it yourself. Currently, there are only four people in the Alliance who can light up the last Magic Stone. Everyone is guessing who will be the fifth. "
Hang it in the lobby? Only four people?
No. 76 felt like she was listening to an Arabian Nights story. Not to mention where they got the Sigil of God's Will, just hearing the name again was enough to surprise her. In the Taquila era, it was the exclusive weapon of the Three Chiefs of the Union! Except for the Transcendents who were training all the time, no one else could provide the magic power needed by the Golden Thunder.
But here, there were "only" four witches who could activate the Sigil? What a joke! Did the Witch Union have more Transcendents than the Union?
And according to Vendy's description, neither Anna nor Lucia were Transcendents. How could they become Transcendents?
In addition, what the king of the common people did made her feel unreasonable. Since someone could activate the Sigil of God's Will, he should have seen the earth-shattering power of the Sigil, right? If so, why would he put such a precious weapon in the hall for all witches to play with? That was a spoil of war obtained after slaying a Greater Demon. Did this guy have any common sense at all?
No. 76 suddenly felt her head swelling and pain.
As for the fact that Lucia was also a Senior Witch, her heart had gradually become numb to it.
In just one morning, she had seen three promoted witches. At this moment, she just wanted to ask someone how many Senior Witches there were in such a border city ruled by common people. Moreover, they did not even have the self-awareness of being superior. For example, now, Lucia had already mingled with the witches in the Kingdom of Wolfheart under the introduction of Lightning. Anna was much calmer, but judging from her expression, she did not seem to have any complaints about the Original Witches acting as managers. She even showed a sense of closeness and trust in Vendy during their simple conversation.
Just when No. 76 could not help but blurt out the question in her heart again, someone finally mentioned this point.
"May I ask how many people in the Witch Union have evolved new abilities?" Broken Sword's question was no less than the sound of nature in her ears.
But Vendy's reaction shocked her. Vendy counted with her fingers, "Well... one, two, three... nine, ten, exactly ten."
Ten...
No. 76 did not even have the strength to be surprised at this time.
If the information provided by "Black Money" was right, there were only about 20 witches active in the Western Region of Graycastle. Neverwinter was just her first stop, and Sleeping Island in the Fjords was the gathering place of most witches.
However, there were ten Senior Witches here.
Was this a mockery of the Union's incompetence?
No. 76 took a deep breath and did not approach them again. Instead, she took advantage of the time when they showed their abilities to put the ring to her eyes.
Lucia's orange light was almost twice as bright as Maggie's, while Anna's was much more eye-catching. It was almost the same size as the uninvited guest who sneaked into the Foreign Affairs Building at night.
There was no doubt that the two of them were not the Chosen One either.
It seemed that the owner of the "light wall" in the castle was someone else.
But was it possible? Was there a witch in Neverwinter who was more outstanding than the genius mentioned by Vendy, Anna, who had awakened twice in a row?
Just when No. 76 was puzzled, the door of the backyard was suddenly pushed open, and a blue-haired woman came in.
"The anti-corrosion results you asked for have come out. These are the test samples." She placed several glass bottles in front of Anna. "The best performance of the aluminum alloy is No. 1872, just as His Majesty speculated."
"Thank you, Agatha."
"Then I'll go." The witch called Agatha nodded and turned to leave without looking at the others. Her demeanor was quite similar to that of a superior in the Taquila era. The moment she turned her head, No. 76 felt as if she had been struck by a bolt from the blue!
