Chapter 0383 Huge Shadow
It was already dusk when the convoy arrived at the Tower of Destiny.
The lonely Dragonbone Wilderness was full of scattered boulders, weeds and broken bones, and the Tower of Destiny stood alone in the heart of the wilderness amid the desolate howling of monsters.
Under the command of the Dark Witch, all the witch apprentices got off the carriage and lined up in front of the tower gate, waiting to be received by the tower owner.
And Erica was undoubtedly one of the uneasy people. When she thought about spending the rest of her life in such a desolate tower, with only the crazy monsters outside and the sinister "partners" beside her, Erica couldn't help but tremble.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine!" Freya stood beside her, gently holding Erica's hand, and whispered to comfort her.
Erica gave her a forced smile in return.
Erica could feel that Freya's little hands were also cold.
It seems that the other person's heart is not as calm as her appearance!
The gate of the tower finally opened slowly.
The soft and bright light from the gate was projected, falling on everyone, immediately bringing everyone a strong sense of warmth.
Then a slender and tall figure appeared in the door, with the light behind her, silently scanning everyone.
"Since you are all here, come in and take a rest! This trip is troublesome to you!"
The voice was very soft and sweet, and it seemed that she was not very old.
The dark witch who led the team stood silently in the darkness and said coldly: "Lord Alice, the 7 apprentices promised by our dark witch clan have been delivered. I will not stay. Goodbye!"
After that, she did not even enter the gate of the tower, but turned around and drove the carriage with her entourage into the darkness.
The Dragon Bone Wilderness under the night was not peaceful. If they forced their way out like this, the losses they suffered would definitely be considerable. However, the attitude of the dark witch was firm enough, and it seemed that she did not want to have too much contact with Alice.
Alice watched the caravan from afar, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on her face, and she turned sideways to the remaining seven people, Erica, and said: "Come in!"
Everyone bowed and saluted, knowing that this was their future controller-the leader of the witches of fate, Alice.
The apprentice witches struggled to carry their heavy boxes, walked carefully past the witch Alice, and entered the bright and warm gate of the tower.
Erica was the last apprentice to enter the tower.
When she passed by the witch Alice, she couldn't help but look up and take a peek at the legendary witch of fate.
This is a young and beautiful witch, whose face is more delicate and perfect than other witches Erica has seen. Her long silver shawl hair is soft and shiny, her skin is white and crystal clear, her eyes are narrow and bright, her pupils are clear and blue, and she is wearing a purple robe decorated with the sun, moon, stars and witchcraft symbols.
The other party was also looking at Erica quietly and gently.
The eyes of both parties collided gently, and Erica was immediately frightened and shrank her head. She held the handle of the old suitcase tightly with both hands, followed her companion obediently, and dared not look around anymore.
Seeing the other party's timid appearance, Alice couldn't help but sigh.
She actually knew this Erica.
More than ten years ago, they were the same batch of apprentices who entered the Dark Witch Tower and spent two years together. Later, Grandma Endo needed to be stationed in Sandi Tallin, so she sent Alice to Fanny Hut, a wizard organization in the Continental Department, and handed her over to the female wizard Deborah.
It was almost twenty years in a flash. I didn't expect that Erica had only climbed to the level of a junior apprentice, while I... was already the leader of the Witch of Destiny.
The difference in their situations was not enough to be described by God!
Looking at the seven witch apprentices who entered the tower one after another, Alice couldn't help but frowned.
Most of the members' talents and potentials are very poor, but there are one or two who are so talented that it makes people doubt their eyes.
From the attitude of the dark witch to herself just now, it can be seen that the dark witches no longer regard her as their own people who can be close to her. According to Alice's original estimation, it should be Grandma Endor who came to escort the witch apprentices this time.
But Grandma Endor did not come, but a strange witch who was extremely unfriendly to her came instead. This obviously has some hidden secrets that she didn't know!
After the witch apprentices stepped into the door, they were immediately stunned by everything in front of them!
The neat and bright witchcraft hall, the spotless smooth floor, the lighting crystals embedded in the stone wall emitting a soft and bright luster, and...
In the middle of the hall, a sturdy long table was placed, filled with a variety of dishes and drinks. Fried calf kidneys, quail stuffed with spices and fruits, meat-filled puff pastry made with lark and partridge meat, beef cooked with wine and onions, dormouse soaked in honey... The fragrant food with hot smoke aroused everyone's appetite.
The hungry witch apprentices couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
The apprentices looked at each other with puzzled eyes. It is said that this place has only been opened for two days, how could it recover so quickly? They are the first group of apprentices to arrive at the tower! Could it be that Alice the witch actually cleaned up this hall by herself in the past two days?
"Let's eat first!" Alice's voice was still so gentle and peaceful: "The accommodation has been prepared for you. You just need to eat, drink and rest today. I will naturally assign all the specific matters to you tomorrow. After eating, just follow this guard, it will take you to your respective accommodations."
Alice was talking about an armored guard standing in a corner of the hall.
When it stood there motionless, it looked like a full set of metal armor displayed by an aristocratic family to show their bravery. However, the witch apprentices knew that this kind of activated armor made of magic-averse metal had the strength of no less than that of an apprentice witch, and it was no problem to crush a group of senior apprentices like them.
After saying that, Alice left on her own.
Soon, only the newcomers, a table of delicious food, and a motionless armored guard were left in this spacious witchcraft hall.
Everyone stared at each other and hesitated for a moment. Freya and another senior apprentice stood up and whispered, "Everyone has come such a long way. Let's follow the instructions of Lady Alice and eat first and then rest. Let's talk about everything else tomorrow!"
Everyone had actually been waiting for this order for a long time!
After hearing Freya's words, everyone immediately rushed in, occupied a seat at the dining table, and began to eat and drink desperately.
To be honest, before coming here, everyone had already made up their minds to work hard here for several years.
After all, a witch tower has been silent and closed for a thousand years. The witchcraft facilities inside must have been damaged, and the materials and resources needed for life and study must be extremely scarce. So let alone snacks, even the tents for sleeping, everyone stuffed them into wooden boxes and brought them here.
But when they first arrived, the first impression of this fate tower and Lady Alice was absolutely different from what they imagined, and even completely opposite.
This made everyone want to explore this mysterious fate tower as soon as possible!
…………
The twelfth floor of the Fate Witch Tower.
Alice and Xue Fu were standing in front of a huge water mirror, silently examining several witch apprentices who were wolfing down food in the lobby on the first floor.
“This… and this…” Xue Fu’s green and tender white fingers lightly tapped and circled two somewhat different female apprentices in the water mirror: “They are both different from the others! Their talents are a little better… Are you sure it’s not the dark witches expressing their goodwill to you?”
“I’m sure!” Alice gently raised her curled black eyelashes, revealing her beautiful blue eyes. But at this moment, the playfulness and warmth in them no longer existed, replaced by a faint indifference and a faint anger: “If the dark witches want to express their goodwill, they only need to send Grandma Endor, and there is no need to play such complicated means!”
“The nails thrown to you by the other party are so obvious, so are you going to eat them or not?” Xue Fu nodded in understanding.
She is also a "second-generation witch" from a big family. Naturally, she knows that the bigger the family, the more inconsistent the understanding and ideas expressed are with personal ideas.
Although Alice has a deep connection with the dark witches, once she becomes the leader of the fate witches, the feelings and interactions between the two sides have many concerns and calculations.
Alice's grandmother, the poisonous woman Endo, is at best a level 1 witch. She has no say or dominance in the Moya family, where the dark witches have the most power, and it is impossible for her to influence the major decisions of the Moya family. So the only possibility for the scene in front of us is that the Moya family's attitude towards Alice has undergone a major change that is unknown to the public!
To put it bluntly, if Alice's grandmother didn't know how to behave, she might have been under house arrest by the dark witches now.
And it was because of this that Alice's mood suddenly became so bad!
"Xuefu, are there enough materials left in the witch tower to hold a divination ceremony? I want to get the answer tonight!" Alice suddenly turned her head and looked at Xuefu.
During this period, Xuefu completed the cleaning and statistics of the treasure rooms and material warehouses in the tower.
"Of course there are enough materials." Xuefu took out a list of items: "Although most of the materials have expired after a thousand years, the remaining ones are still enough for two large-scale divination activities."
"Okay!" Alice nodded and ordered: "Helen, please clean up the astronomical table on the top floor first, I will need it soon! Xuefu can withdraw all the materials needed!"
The magic elf Helen, who had been curled up on Alice's shoulder, immediately flew up, and while loudly agreeing, flapped her wings and flew: "I know, I know... I'm going."
After that, she disappeared on the spot with a streak of starlight.
