Chapter 523: Game Over, Now It's the Witches' Time

~7 min read 1,304 words

But thinking about it, back when the Tower Witch was at the height of her power, she even sold things like Ancient Blood, so naturally she wouldn't care about a mere alloy.

It was just that everyone didn't expect that things sold could actually be snatched back now.

In a sense, this could be considered resource recovery and reuse.

However, just as everyone was teasing each other about this matter, the picture on the Sky Screen changed.

It went from the previous picture inside the Adventurer's Guild directly to midair.

More accurately, above the Adventurer City.

"Wait, why do I see land? Are my eyes playing tricks on me?"

"Your eyes aren't playing tricks on you, I even saw bluestone bricks."

"This... could it be..."

"The Tower Witch!"

"It really is this woman."

"Look at the buildings behind her. Although I haven't seen some of them, that huge vermilion building complex in the back seems a bit familiar!"

"Absolutely unmistakable! That's the architecture of the Witch Academy!"

"Wait, doesn't that mean what's currently in the sky above the Rolling Thunder Wilderness is that Flying City?"

"All the mysteries are solved. So the Flying City everyone has been guessing about is the former Typhon City."

"Haha, are you living under a rock? We already knew that when a big crater appeared at the original site of Typhon City in the Forsaken Territory."

"Just joking to warm things up, it's definitely not a good thing for this woman to appear on the screen."

Yes, everyone was well aware of this point.

Whether it was the Witches attacking the Rolling Thunder Wilderness or these Sky Screens they saw spread across Adventurer Cities large and small, they were actually all the Witch Clan's doing.

But for them, so what if they knew?

They couldn't do anything about it.

They just watched it, treating it as entertainment and a conversation piece for the melon-eating masses and drama enjoyers.

Those who had offended the Witch Clan treated it as a way to gather intelligence.

After all, right now, unless the Tower Witch stepped forward herself, they had no way to find the other party.

Rolling Thunder Wilderness, this region completely on the 'northeast route' of the Flying City, they had naturally heard of it, but had never thought about it.

Because that place was different from other regions.

"Dear viewers, were you satisfied with the performance of the members of my Tower Witch Clan's Patrol Team just now?"

In the picture, Lan Qingyou, sitting on a broom, held a small rectangular microphone in her hand and smiled at the camera as she spoke.

That appearance looked as calm as could be.

It was just that the words coming out of this guy's mouth, and the smile playing on her lips, made those who saw this picture shudder.

An attack on a region was called a performance, and it was said right in front of almost all Transmigrators.

Although they knew this battle, which looked like a surprise attack no matter how you looked at it, was a revenge operation by the Witch Clan.

But there was no doubt that there were definitely people in the city other than the revenge targets, right?

The Witches had dismantled even the Teleportation Arrays. Everyone didn't dare to imagine what the fate of these people would be afterwards.

After all, this world was still mostly populated by ordinary people.

Even with the very magical setting of magic, after the novelty wore off, everyone just wanted to return to a peaceful life.

Under these circumstances, the Adventurer Cities undoubtedly became the most important link allowing them to return to normal daily lives.

But now the Witches doing this made many people feel a trace of strange uneasiness.

And this was exactly what Lan Qingyou wanted.

"It seems everyone should like having a bit of excitement in these dull and boring days."

Lan Qingyou asked and answered herself.

Then she shrugged, showing a look of pity.

"But unfortunately, happy times are always so short."

"Alright, the game is over. From now on, it's the Witches' time."

"Isabel Victoria Anne Windsor, I've come to seek revenge for my dead clan members."

"Today, neither you nor anyone under you should even think about walking out of this region alive."

After a brief opening remark, Lan Qingyou got straight to the point and directly stated the name of the person they were looking for in this operation.

Isabel Victoria Anne Windsor?

Hearing this full name, some people immediately thought of who the other party was.

A Princess of a principality that was one of the former Blue Star Federation member states, and also one of the current councilors of the Karim Supreme Council.

Putting it this way, it seemed the Rolling Thunder Wilderness was the other party's territory!

So that's how it is. If it's like this, then it makes sense.

A portion of people who possessed intelligence and analytical abilities understood what Lan Qingyou was going to do after thinking for a moment.

The current Supreme Council was undoubtedly the most authoritative existence in the entire Transmigrator group.

Although there were also many regions and organizations in between that announced their breakaway from the Supreme Council's management.

These minor rebellions could not shake the status of the Supreme Council.

After all, it was a large organization that possessed the right to mint coins, the right to issue them, and things like the Adventurer's Guild. Everyone's recognition of it was also because of these.

So when the Witch Clan directly attacked the Adventurer's Guild, everyone knew that this was indeed going against the Supreme Council.

But what no one expected was that the target they were going against was not the Supreme Council, but just a certain councilor of the Supreme Council!

From the sound of it, it seemed this councilor named Isabel also participated in the previous Forsaken War.

If this was the case, then it wasn't going against the Supreme Council.

After all, everyone on the entire continent knew that for these past few months since the war ended, the Witch Clan had been pursuing and killing the people who participated in the war.

In other words, this group of Black Witches dismantling the Adventurer's Guild in the Rolling Thunder Wilderness and dismantling the Magic Arrays in the Rolling Thunder Wilderness was entirely making things difficult for that person.

Councilors.

The reason why they could be called councilors was indeed partly because they were already councilors back on Blue Star.

But there were so many councilors on Blue Star, not everyone could be a councilor of the Supreme Council.

There was only one reason why the Supreme Council had those sparse twenty or thirty people, and that was that these people all controlled massive amounts of resources.

And this 'massive amount' often referred not to quantity, but to region.

No one could clearly tell how many resources an entire region had even now.

This was mainly because even though everyone had been in this world for two or three years, even now they would still discover new resources from time to time.

Only those who could occupy a region and mobilize the supplies of a region had the qualifications to become a councilor of the Supreme Council.

To put it bluntly, it depended on who had money.

To give an analogy.

Although the Forsaken Territory was the autonomous dominion of the Witch Clan, it could also be understood as the personal territory of the Clan Leader Lan Qingyou.

In a sense, owning the resources of an entire region, she could also have joined the Supreme Council.

It was just that the councilors of the Supreme Council, in order not to let their own power shrink, didn't invite those race leaders who owned autonomous dominions, including Lan Qingyou.
