The worries and doubts of the Senior Witches only lasted for about a day before they were completely dispelled by the subsequent news.
Everything Phyllis had said was true.
The Third Border City was in an uproar.
In this case, even if Alethea was reluctant, she could not stop people from yearning for the Dream World. At this point, it was obvious what the Taquila should do.
Pasha had a meeting with Roland about the covenant through the phantom instrument.
The God's Punishment Witches who stayed underground walked through the light curtain one by one and raised their elbows to the Lord of Neverwinter, the King of Graycastle, to acknowledge him as the only leader of the united front. After that, the Senior Witches who had been transformed into original carriers lowered their main tentacles to show their loyalty. This was a courtesy that only the Three Chiefs of the Union could receive. It represented that after more than 400 years, the Taquila had a mortal ruler.
Alethea was the last to appear in front of the light curtain.
Pasha had always been worried that Alethea, who had joined the Blessed Army at the age of 20 and fought against the demons for more than 10 years to defend the glory of Taquila, would do something unexpected. But in the end, she still put the Battle of Divine Will and the expectations of her companions first and bent her main tentacle to Roland. No matter how reluctant she was at the moment, Pasha was still gratified by her decision to focus on the overall situation.
If it were in the Taquila era, this would definitely be an incredible scene.
However, more than 400 years was long enough to change a lot of things. The ambition and firm belief that "all human beings under the leadership of witches will defeat the demons" were gradually worn out. When a mortal showed his amazing potential and had the grace of redemption for the Taquila survivors, some meaningless persistence was obviously not so important anymore.
Moreover, Pasha believed that the Three Chiefs of the Union agreed that witches would eventually stand out from the human community. After all, there were only a few mortals like Roland, and witches would one day return to the position of leader. However, by that time, the relationship between witches and mortals was bound to be much more harmonious than in the Taquila era. After all, if they could safely survive the third Battle of Divine Will, the idea that witches and mortals could only cooperate to exert their greatest power would undoubtedly be deeply rooted in people's hearts.
She did not mind seeing such a future.
…
By the time Roland actually carried out his plundering plan, three days had already passed.
To ensure that Zero would not notice anything unusual, he rented a warehouse near the tube-shaped apartment and used it as a temporary "landing point" for witches to connect to the Dream World. As long as the witches gathered here before he interrupted the dream, the next time he entered, they would still appear in the warehouse.
Of course, the first connection would inevitably occur in apartment 0825 of the tube-shaped building... Roland could not figure this out no matter how hard he thought about it. It was probably because of Zero that this apartment became the key point connecting the outside world and the Dream World. Therefore, every time he entered the Dream World, he had to calculate the time and wait until Zero left for school before he connected the witches to the Dream World.
During these three days, Roland selected four God's Punishment Witches, including Phyllis, as the first batch of pioneers. For the first two days, he could still buy some fast food and drinks to satisfy their extremely strong desire to eat and drink, but on the third day, he could only buy instant noodles and mineral water. But even so, they still ate with relish. Looking at their posture, they almost flipped the seasoning bag over and licked it again.
In fact, it was not that they did not have this idea, but Roland stopped them.
Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for the united front.
As the savings in his hands were getting smaller and smaller, he had to carry out the plan.
When night fell, Roland told Zero that he would be home late with the excuse of working overtime. Then he took the four witches to the villa area outside the Third Ring Road in two taxis.
These days, they did not just stay in the warehouse to eat and drink. As a former member of the Quest Society, Faldi had a very strong detection ability. She could create a magic worm nest and connect the moths, bees and other insects that were attracted to her consciousness. The flying insects that were released would then spontaneously search for other sources of magic. This method was extremely effective in preventing sneak attacks from demons and could also be used to search for areas that were difficult for ordinary people to enter.
Although they could not provide Faldi with vision, they could allow her to sense the type and size of magic power, including the Force of Nature.
After three days of searching, she found more than ten sources of magic power, including Garcia, who lived in 0827.
After eliminating the same type of magic power, there were six targets left.
Among the six targets, the one who lived in the villa area was obviously the most valuable.
This was Roland's plan — to search for those Fallen Evils through highly effective magic power detection, and then take their Force of Nature and property as his. These mutated monsters would not easily leave their habitats, so even if they were killed, it would not attract the attention of the neighbors. Moreover, even if the bodies were found by the police, the case would be transferred to the Martialist Association. At that time, the Association would only think that this case was the work of another group of Awakened with ulterior motives, and would not think that a group of superpower bandits had suddenly appeared in the city.
After getting out of the car, they went to a dark corner and surrounded Dawnen. Dawnen summoned the "Lightless Curtain" and wrapped them up.
This magical ability could make her companions disappear without a trace within the range of the curtain. It looked as if they were invisible, but its actual function was much more than that. Not only vision, smell, and magic power could also be blocked. Apart from direct contact, it was almost impossible to detect the existence of the person in hiding. In order to achieve the effect of a surprise attack, Dawnen was undoubtedly a key person.
Under Faldi's guidance, the five of them openly passed through the main gate and walked all the way to the foothills behind the villa area.
This was the residential area of the city's rich. Most of the villas were built along the mountains, and the gardens were very spacious. At night, there was basically no one moving around, so it was really an excellent place to do something.
"We're here. The target is inside." Faldi stopped and pointed to a large courtyard by the road. The area of the front yard alone was almost the size of a tube-shaped apartment.
"These damn rich people are really enviable..." Roland glanced at the flashing red surveillance camera at the entrance of the courtyard and turned to look at the robbers — no, the last member of the pioneer group, Ling. "I'll leave the infiltration task to you. Do it according to the previous practice."
Ling nodded and slowly disappeared into the shadows as if she was sinking.
Although there were no witches among the Taquila survivors like Nightingale or Maggie, who could ignore all obstacles as if they were nothing, Ling's ability could basically meet the basic requirements. As long as there was a shadow, she could blend in and move freely like water. Especially at night, when the large expanse of shadows connected into an endless stretch, the entire front yard became her territory. Naturally, it was not difficult for her to pass through the gaps between the doors and windows.
