Limited Free Chapter 0343 Witch Secret
The time is almost up.
Whether Alice is afraid or looking forward to it, the day of the opening of the Tower of Destiny is approaching.
Considering that there is no direct floating warship from the Sanditallin area to the Northland, the only way to pass through the Black Forest that is tens of thousands of miles long is to follow a large caravan that travels between the two places all year round.
These caravans are usually inextricably linked to a faction of the Northland witches, and they will send people to accompany the team for protection, so safety is still guaranteed.
However, considering that it takes up to 2 months to pass through the Black Forest, Grimm decided to set off in advance when there was still more than half a year before the battle of destiny.
So on an ordinary morning, Grimm set off with Alice. And the total number of people in the family who knew where they were going was only 3.
The journey to Mota City was very peaceful. They took the airship all the way north, and it only took them nine days to reach the public city of Ibeth City in the northernmost part of Sanditallin.
As soon as he got off the airship, Grimm was attracted by the bustling city in front of him.
Compared with other places, this place may seem a little dirty and messy, but it has a vitality that is not found elsewhere.
Long caravans driving huge pack animals through the city, strong barbarians wearing animal skins and carrying huge axes, half-wolves with wolf heads, and many mercenaries carrying bows and swords and calling friends...
To be honest, Grimm has never seen so many alien lives in one area.
They all seem to be sturdy and strong fighting species, and they also have brains and wisdom that are almost the same as humans. In addition, they are also half-natives in the Black Forest, so almost every caravan that needs to cross the Black Forest will hire a large number of them as guards.
"Let's go, find a place to settle down first, and then consider which caravan to join!" When they got here, it was no longer Grimm who was in charge, but Alice.
Although she is not very old, she has walked through this section of the Black Forest twice, so she is more familiar with the ways and rules here than Grimm.
Under her leadership, the two walked out of the airship berthing area, passed through a bustling trading market, and then entered the city of Ibeth.
Compared with the rest of the Sandi Tallinn, the number of witches entrenched in Ibeth City is far more than the management wizards stationed here by the association due to its proximity to the North. So except for the towering wizard tower in the city center, the rest of the buildings in the city are almost all built with thick logs, and from the appearance, they give people a unique sense of ruggedness and heroism of the Northlanders.
Alice did not take Grimm to visit the wizard tower here.
Although this is what most traveling wizards will do, it is easy to attract the attention of witch forces. Especially at this critical moment, any unfamiliar face who wants to enter and exit the Northland will attract special attention from those who are interested!
Originally, Grimm thought Alice would take him to the residence of the Moya family here, but who would have thought that after going around in circles, Alice actually took Grimm to a business called "Dark Night Rose". And this "Dark Night Rose" is a subsidiary force of the dark witch.
After bargaining skillfully with the business owner, Alice successfully booked two places with the team, and the cost of each person was 200 magic crystals. And the identity she reported was two ordinary wizards who went to the north to travel and find special resources.
Because the supplies of the caravan had not yet arrived, the date of departure was set for 3 days later, so the two could only find a hotel near the business to stay.
After the two left, the business owner hesitated for a while, stretched out his hand to call a subordinate to take care of the store for him, and he hurried to the backyard.
Here, a huge golden tent was set up on the grass in the backyard, and the apprentice witches wearing apprentice robes could enter and exit here.
After a series of communications, the head of the business finally met the real person in charge of the escort caravan, the 2nd-level dark witch Cora, in the golden tent.
The space inside the tent was not small, and the layout inside was extremely gorgeous.
The feet were covered with soft carpets with complex patterns, elegant and noble, and the surroundings were full of embroidered gold curtains, each of which was extremely delicate and exquisite. There were many lifelike strange creatures embroidered on them, most of which were special monsters that only existed in the north.
And a graceful and lazy woman was leaning against a small wooden table behind the translucent curtain, quietly flipping through books.
"Oh, you mean, there are two more strange wizards in our caravan?"
"Yes, sir, this is the third group of wizards who have come to our caravan. According to your instructions, I will report to you as soon as I send them away."
"Who are they?"
"They are a man and a woman. They only said that they came to the North to find resources. They didn't say much else."
"And there are women!" The witch Cora behind the curtain smiled softly: "During this period of time, there are many more female wizards going to the North than before!"
"Sir, you mean they are also..."
"Who cares if they are or not! Since they have found our caravan, they are our guests. We just need to send them to the place safely. We can ignore everything else!"
"But if they really come for that, will it cause some trouble to the caravan?" The head of the business couldn't help but hesitate.
"If it was a few years ago, it would have been a bit troublesome." Witch Cora smiled lightly, "Because the fraud witch gang was too much, several witch leaders joined forces to question them at the witch council, forcing their leader Angelina to swear that she would never kill any candidate who participated in the battle of fate again. So... the trouble you mentioned no longer exists!"
"I understand, sir, I know what to do."
"Well, go down! Remember to notify them to set off on time in three days. If they miss it, they will have to find another team..."
"Yes, yes, yes..." The head of the business fell to the ground, respectfully saluted the witch in the curtain, and then slowly retreated.
In the entire Northland, witches have a very high reputation!
They not only have powerful power, but also are the owners, guardians and pioneers of the entire Northland.
It can be said bluntly that the entire Northland was fought for inch by inch from wild monsters and jungle creatures by this group of witches and many followers.
Therefore, facing any Northland witch, the Northland people can feel love and respect from the bottom of their hearts.
From this point of view, the relationship between the Northland people and the witch group is the closest and most harmonious among all wizard forces.
…………
At this moment, Grimm and Alice have settled down in the hotel.
In the room, Alice is acting as Grimm's temporary teacher, explaining and instilling everything about Northland witches to him.
Of course, before coming here, Grimm has simply understood the origin and ruling structure of Northland witches through various channels and books. However, that is just scratching the surface, and can only get a vague impression of Northland witches from the surface, which is far less thorough and profound than the explanation of Alice, a genuine witch.
There is no need to elaborate on the overly complicated history, which Grimm can obtain through books. So Alice focuses on the camp relationship and camp characteristics between the major witch factions.
Yes, on the surface, the Northland witch is a large witch force that is extremely close. But if you really study them thoroughly, you will find that the factional relationships within them are so complicated that they are suffocating.
If they are really as united as they appear, then why are there only seven of the thirteen witch branches left now?
Although the ups and downs of each witch faction have their own specific destiny, six witch branches have weakened to the point where even their inheritance has been cut off. This situation cannot be explained away by destiny anyway!
The seven existing witch factions are Fraud, Pale, Pain, Death, Winter, Darkness, and Hypocrisy. Among them, the Fraud Witch is good at transformation and lies, and is also Alice's main enemy at present.
The Pale Witch has a companion spirit that is closely related to her life, which is immune to most physical damage and has the ability to cast spells. So if you mess with the Pale Witch, it is equivalent to messing with a powerful witch and a powerful spirit at the same time, two against one, but they are best at it!
The Pain Witch is good at cursing, and is also the group of guys who produce the most spellcasters.
Death witches are good at poison and plague, and they also have special skills in concocting undead spirits.
Winter witches are good at the power of ice and snow. Because they fit the harsh and cold environment of the North, they are also the most powerful of the seven witch factions.
Dark witches have more strange abilities. They can create a special psychic pool and then store their soul imprints in it. In this way, they become the least fearless group of people in battle. Even if they die gloriously in battle, they can be resurrected in the psychic pool within ten days or half a month.
As for hypocritical witches, their innate witchcraft is illusion. Hypocritical witches are a very mysterious group even among witches, and few people have seen their true faces.
As for the witch who ran outside the city of Fednan to attack Alice last time, she was actually a transformed fraud witch. The transformation of the fraud witch does not seem to be as simple as a simple body change disguise. Once the transformation is successful, it can also have some of the special abilities of the transformed object.
This is actually the most powerful place of the fraud witch!
The reason why Alice chose the caravan led by the dark witch this time instead of the Moya family under the pale witch faction was to avoid suspicion.
The performance of the family last time also broke Alice's heart!
She didn't want to be betrayed by the family again. chapter;
