Chapter 1156: The Great Witch of Randell Valley

~10 min read 1,977 words

"Although it looks very magical, it's useless. 【Water Summoning】 is a basic spell for Ringed Ringed Shushi, and no one faces a shortage of water. What's more, your sword can gush out clear springs when inserted into the earth... Perhaps the true purpose of this cup is to purify water sources."

Luweiya evaluated, tasted a sip of the water in the clay Grail, and confirmed that it was really just clean water.

"It is indeed useless. But if I could produce a cup every time I used the spell 'Power of the Earth · Healing Aura,' that would be interesting."

Xia De said with a smile.

"But where would you find so much polluted land? Miss Grande also said, similar situations only appear once every ten years or so, and there is the Church of the True God to help solve them."

Xia De nodded, but he always felt that the so-called "polluted land" in Randell Valley would definitely not be that simple. Now that he and Luweiya were both here, and the man in the dream's description of "mad earth" was so vague, plus the fact that Tobesk also had similar situations. In his view, wanting to run into land that needed purification again was just a simple matter of time.

"Speaking of which, does your Mithril Cube have any reaction to the story of 'mad earth'?"

Seeing Xia De lost in thought, Luweiya asked again.

Xia De shook his head:

"The strangest thing is this point. Miss Grande clearly said that this is a situation that appears in the local area once every ten years or so, which should meet the requirement of 'the story of Randell Valley.' But it's a pity that the silver cube has no reaction to this. So, what exactly can count as the story of Randell Valley?"

After lunch, Luweiya said goodbye to Xia De and returned to the Diviner Association, while Xia De wandered around the city again. When he arrived at the Wang Erde Opera House, it was 2:40 PM. The opera in the afternoon had already begun to enter, and after Xia De showed the ticket given to him by Miss Grande, he climbed the steps and arrived at the third floor of the opera house.

Although Randell Valley City itself could not compare to Tobesk, this opera house looked larger than the one in Tobesk. In Xia De's view, picking up the goods itself shouldn't have any accidents. He was even thinking about returning to Tobesk and taking a look at the abandoned manor in the eastern suburbs before dinner.

At three o'clock sharp, Xia De, who was watching the opera opening in the box, also welcomed the person who delivered the goods for him. Miss Grande did not show up, and a young girl dressed as a maid delivered a suitcase to him, which contained the three Echo Flowers promised.

After the maid left, Xia De also planned to leave. He was not interested in the opera being performed at all. However, just as he was carrying the suitcase and had just walked out of the box door, his chest suddenly sensed heat.

"Hmm?"

Just stunned for a moment, he immediately realized that the badge for detecting witches was exerting its effect. And in the short two seconds Xia De was stunned, the heat of the badge rose rapidly. Xia De completely understood the meaning this represented: a true Great Witch was in a place not far from him, and was gradually approaching.

"There is actually a Great Witch in Randell Valley?"

This brought him a greater fright than the undead in the morning.

Cassandra Granny was in Midhillburg, Miss Galina was still in Saladir County, and Miss Sylvia, regardless of whether she would follow Margaret here, was definitely not local now. Miss Aurora had corresponded with Xia De some time ago, and she had no plans to come to Randell Valley in the near future. Therefore, the Great Witch who appeared here must be any lady Xia De didn't know.

No matter who the other party was, without any preparation, Xia De absolutely could not face a strange Great Witch alone. He immediately turned around with the suitcase and returned to the box:

"The other party has no reason to be able to discover me. This is the first time the badge has heated up since I arrived locally; it should be a coincidence..."

He turned the suitcase into a toy and put it away, sitting on the sofa with some trepidation, feeling the change in the heat of the badge on his chest.

But very unfortunately, the heat was getting stronger and stronger, which meant that the unknown Great Witch was really gradually approaching. When Xia De heard footsteps outside the door, he had even pointed the extract of the wind vane blue grass on the tip of his tongue, and prepared to get up and hide in the corner, then cover his face with both hands to transform into an angel statue to hide.

After all, there were no windows inside the opera house box.

But fortunately, the target of the strange witch was not here. From the sound of the footsteps, she and the people beside her entered the box next door.

Xia De nervously pressed his ear against the door to listen to the sound, wanting to leave as soon as possible after confirming that the other party had closed the door. A Great Witch was certainly accompanied by followers of the witch. Only followers with a small amount of power could not discover his difference by seeing Xia De, but if they were witch apprentices who were real and solid like Tifa and Miss Rita Swift, Xia De also had the possibility of being discovered.

It's just a pity that although the witch entered the room next door, there were still footsteps in the corridor.

Xia De listened patiently, and then heard the subtle sound of high heels stepping on the soft carpet stop outside the door, and then there was a knock:

"Mr. Watson, may I come in?"

It was Miss Grande's voice.

"She has a relationship with a witch? No, that's not right. When shaking hands in the morning, she clearly..."

【No witch power.】

Xia De didn't speak at the door, but took a step out, returned to the sofa, and then sat down:

"Is it Miss Grande? Please come in."

After speaking, he stood up, and the lady in her twenties also walked in.

Although the voice heard just now was Miss Grande's, the person who entered the door was not the slightly ordinary face seen in the morning, but an exquisite face that did not lose to the girls around Xia De.

This was clearly her true appearance.

When he saw this lady in the morning, she was in a very ordinary winter outfit. At this time, perhaps because she came to the opera house, she was dressed slightly more formally. But it was not a gown, but a gown like some kind of standard uniform, with a round badge on her chest.

The main body of the badge was golden, with an extremely complex pattern on it. Some looked like the rising sun, and some looked like meaningless oil ink patterns in church religious murals.

Xia De didn't recognize this.

"Good afternoon, Miss Grande, is it you? This face is really beautiful... May I ask what is the matter? I thought the commission I accepted had already ended."

He asked with a hesitant look, and confirmed again that there was really no witch power on the lady in front of him.

The female Ringed Shushi said with a smile:

"It has indeed ended. That piece of land has no other problems. However, I informed my friend about this matter, a high-ringed Ringed Shushi who has great influence locally. She is very interested in the problem of that land and the spell you used to solve the problem. Mr. Watson, are you interested in meeting her? That lady is now next door."

Although this proposal was abrupt, at least on the surface, it looked quite good. Xia De claimed to be a Ringed Ringed Shushi from out of town. If he could get to know a local high-ringed Ringed Shushi through this matter, it would be very helpful for what would happen next.

But the problem was that the high-ringed Ringed Shushi could not be a witch. In the Witch Council, it was impossible for all witches to be indifferent to his existence. Galina had repeated this point many times.

"I am honored to be invited."

Xia De said quite cautiously. He didn't refuse, knowing that he would still handle many things in this city, and judging from past experience, witches could not be avoided.

"However, I originally had nothing to do this afternoon, but at noon I received a letter from a friend, and now I have to go and see him."

He tried his best to keep his expression calm to cover up his inner activities when lying:

"Please apologize to that lady for me, but any time for the rest of this week, I think I can go and see her."

Miss Grande still maintained an elegant smile:

"Of course, then please accept this ticket."

She handed the ticket for the Wang Erde Opera House to Xia De again:

"Tomorrow afternoon, still at this time, that lady will meet with you here."

"Yes, this time I won't break my promise."

Xia De guaranteed, and then left under Miss Grande's gaze.

In the process of walking through the corridor, he didn't dare to look back at all. It wasn't until he walked down the stairs that he felt his back seemed to be soaked through. He was afraid that he would hear the sound of the door opening behind him halfway through:

"However... which witch is this?"

(Little Mia running...)

Thursday, 8:00 PM. Witch Council.

As the thirteen Great Witches left one after another through the fog doors behind their respective seats, another meeting of the Witch Council ended. However, before the scent of the ladies' perfume had dissipated, the fog doors unfolded again, and Miss Sylvia, Miss Galina, and Miss Aurora returned one after another.

Miss Aurora was wearing a black dress, and the waist part was exceptionally slender. She stood behind her chair, supporting the back of the chair with one hand, and her slightly frowning appearance seemed to be thinking about something.

Miss Galina was wearing a gorgeous sky-blue gown, wearing a small silver crown on her head, sitting on her stone-backed chair, looking at the round stone table illuminated by unknown sky light with both hands held together. Tifa stood behind her with a quiet smile, still wearing that maid gown.

The young Miss Sylvia was wearing a red dress with a simpler style, holding her hands in front of her chest, leaning against the wall at the edge of the circular open space in the center of the council, her right index finger and thumb painted with red nail polish rubbing back and forth somewhat anxiously.

No one spoke, but waited patiently. Fortunately, after just a few minutes, another fog door unfolded, and the old witch Cassandra Granny walked in first, followed by her apprentice Miss Rita Swift. The young girl seemed a bit nervous, and after respectfully saluting the three Great Witches, she pulled out a chair for her teacher to sit down.

And behind Miss Swift, Xia De, who had been waiting at the Cassandra Auction House in Midhillburg, also followed in.

"Good evening, ladies, Galina, Aurora, Sylvia."

He greeted the Great Witches. The witches and apprentices, who were different in appearance but all as bright as delicate flowers, also showed smiles toward him.
