Chapter 517: Troubled Durandal

Of course, psychology is psychology.

For people like them, they ultimately had to find this Witch's Flying City to be completely at ease.

Otherwise, they would have to sleep with one eye open.

But how could the Mirage System be so easily found?

If the current Flying City Eureka was looked at from below, it just seemed like a relatively loose and constantly changing cloud.

The most crucial point was that it would change along with the surrounding weather.

This was the most terrifying part of the Mirage System.

The first version, the thing made in version 1.0, although it reached the point of 'being able to emit Illusion Magic',

But that Illusion Magic could not deform.

So it was continuously improved, ultimately taking its current form.

This was what Lan Qingyou wanted.

But it wasn't without flaws either.

It was mainly regarding Demon Eyes; appraisal-type Demon Eyes could see it.

Although it was a flaw, in reality, the flaw wasn't big enough to be fatal.

After all, the sky was so high and so vast. Even with an appraisal-type Demon Eye, it wasn't possible to just look up and coincidentally see Eureka flying right overhead.

Moreover, the entire Karim Continent was a supercontinent capable of holding a population of twenty billion.

There was no such coincidence in the world.

But exactly because of this, some people became even more frantic.

Up until now, besides those pursued and killed, the Witch Clan held as many as thirty thousand cursed people in their grasp, and among them, there was even no lack of management from certain organizations.

That was why they were searching for people everywhere and thinking of ways, wanting to find the exact location and direction of travel of the Flying City.

However, what they didn't know was that in reality, things like curses were entirely limited by magic books and the number of Witches.

First of all, to curse others, one definitely needed to learn curse-type magic first.

Then, based on the learned content, one would make a curse-type magic book to avoid suffering a backlash.

The final step was to collect magic residue to perform the curse.

However, sometimes things develop in exactly the opposite direction.

Because learning was required, many Witches who wanted to personally avenge their friends were still learning the curse branch to this day.

There were currently very few Black Witches who had truly learned it and made magic books.

So there was only one thing the Witches wanted to do.

And that was to go outside to the Forsaken Territory in their spare time from learning to collect magic residue.

After all, after about a month, Shang Chuan's side had already set up the new Teleportation Arrays.

The Witches only needed to teleport over to continue their activities in the Forsaken Territory.

So after the Teleportation Arrays were built, the coming and going of Witches never stopped.

Because this was inherently Witch territory, they didn't charge a fee to use the Teleportation Arrays.

Fortunately, the cost of each teleportation was actually very low; otherwise, teleportation alone would have bankrupt Shang Chuan.

Of course, collecting magic residue also had a direction.

Magic that wasn't from a Witch, magic that had existed for five months or more, magic that looked like it had been fired in an attack...

With these conditions combined, there was an ultra-high 98.3 percent probability that the collected magic residue was left behind by those who had invaded the Forsaken Territory.

As for the rest, they could only ask for God's blessing.

So to say.

It wasn't that 'over thirty thousand people had been cursed' as outsiders grasped, but rather that currently 'only over thirty thousand people could be cursed'.

Because magic residue was collected, this number would only continue to grow afterwards.

Either one died early, which could be considered lucky.

Or one waited to suddenly be cursed one day, which was the most miserable.

Because such people, before being cursed, would think they had escaped the Witches' sanctions and feel complacent.

The contrast between this psychology and the subsequent curse was enough to push a person into the abyss.

...

"Sophia, make a trip to the northeast."

Inside the office of the Speaker of the Supreme Council, Durandal looked at Sophia standing before the desk and issued an order.

"Does the Speaker want to track the Witch Clan's Flying City?"

Sophia, wearing a light aqua long robe, immediately associated it with the Flying City upon hearing the term 'northeast'.

Since the Flying City vanished, if you had to say who was the busiest, it would be Speaker Durandal right in front of her.

Almost every day, people came looking for Durandal to find out about the Flying City.

Because there were too many, the people in the council hall simply divided them into two groups, morning and afternoon.

At least this could reduce the possibility of wasting the Speaker's time.

After all, the things these people said were just too homogenized.

"Yes, go and see if you can find it."

"If you can't find it, forget it. If you can, report the specific situation."

What choice did he have.

These guys did the deed, and now they wanted him to help them gather intelligence. This made Durandal feel a headache for the first time.

"Or if you have any Black Witch friends or something, ask what the specific situation is on their side, and bring back some intelligence to fob them off while you're at it."

Rubbing the bridge of his nose, Durandal issued such a seemingly perfunctory order to Sophia.

Because of her Analysis Magic Eye, sending Sophia was a very correct move no matter how you looked at it.

But Durandal could only go this far.

To be honest, he really didn't want to wipe these guys' asses.

But with so many people coming to his door every day, it had become serious enough to affect his work, so this happened.

Yet doing this thing, which anyone would see as very correct, was actually where Durandal was truly being perfunctory.

He knew the relationship between Chu Yuan and the Tower Witch.

He only needed to ask through Chu Yuan to know exactly what the situation was on the Tower Witch's side.

However, the problem now was that he couldn't do that.

Or rather, it was absolutely impossible to exhaust the meager friendship that might exist between him and Chu Yuan because of these people.

At most, he had told Chu Yuan at some point previously, 'There are people here who want to reconcile with the Witch Clan and are willing to spend money to avert disaster.'

However, after such words were spoken, Chu Yuan basically replied instantly.

And the replied message was absolute words like 'absolutely impossible'. After that, he never wanted to take this path again.

You must know that for people like them, they would never say words that left no way out for themselves.

Since he said it, it was definitely the attitude of the Tower Witch's side.

Then there was indeed no need for him to further entangle with Chu Yuan and the Tower Witch over this issue.

But it didn't matter.

Letting Sophia go might be better for him.

This way, at least others could see that he was indeed doing things to help them, which counted as an attitude.

As for whether it could actually be found later, and whether this matter could be quelled, that was none of his business.

They couldn't possibly blame him just because he tried but failed, right.
