Chapter 1792

"There is also the matter of the negotiations between the two countries."

Speaking of this, Yiluna also had a headache:

"Now that Green Lake is facing such things, the gathering of warlocks makes the future of the negotiations even more unpredictable. The Peace Church sent letters to the two countries on behalf of the other four churches, hoping to suspend the negotiations. I sent the letters to Willundale and Tobesk when I was at the Holy See, and the two kings should have received them by now."

Everyone looked at Miss Miss Jia Lin Na. The red-haired Duchess didn't think much before coming to a conclusion:

"Suspending the negotiation process is not impossible, but it's not something that can be achieved just by saying a few words. Now it's not even a situation where the king can control it immediately just by speaking. No matter what the result of the negotiations is, any behavior that wants to suspend the negotiations will be condemned by everyone. The kings' order to start the negotiations just pressed the button for the steam train to move forward, but they do not have the ability to forcibly stop the train that has already accelerated."

"Yes, the church also knows this. Warlocks don't care much about politics, but the Pope and the Cardinals are annoyed by this matter. The letter sent by the Peace Church is just to let the two kings be mentally prepared. If any accidents occur in the future, it is not the church's fault."

Yiluna sighed, and Audrey frowned slightly, thinking of the night she saw Miss Miss Jia Lin Na at the banquet:

"Does the church know about the 【Tyranny Club】? They want to disrupt the negotiations and are secretly supporting that ancestor of mine."

"Yes, we are investigating. This morning, before I left the church to come here, I saw the latest news. Basically, it can be determined that the actions of the 【Tyranny Club】 are influenced by three forces: one is themselves, a group of lunatics who crave war; one is Miss Edwards' ancestor; and the last is a third party outside the two major human kingdoms that attempts to provoke war, all of whom are also a group of ambitious people."

Yiluna counted on her fingers, then took the teacup handed by Tifa:

"Currently, the church has not assigned me any tasks, but I should be landing on the island with the church's thirteen-ring warlock in the near future."

"I will also land on the island again in the near future. Last night, I made a deal with the guys on the island. Next time I land on the island, no one will interfere with me. There must be other keys on the island. Out of the thirteen keys, five are still missing. Although I don't know the function of these keys, we must get them."

"Then we can only wait for the divination."

Yiluna said, then glanced at Xia De. Both knew that this referred to Luweiya's divination. As long as it has nothing to do with the Chosen One and the gods themselves, Luweiya can divine everything. The witches thought it was waiting for the divination of the Association of Seers, and they had no objection to this.

"Now Yiluna is waiting to land on the island with the church, Xia De is waiting for the divination results, and we are responsible for turning this hotel into a stronghold."

Miss Miss Jia Lin Na said, giving Yiluna a copy of the witches' task list as well.

Taking advantage of Yiluna looking down, Xia De said again:

"The church side should be investigating the two Edwards in the 【Tyranny Club】 and the 【Dragon Feast Sect】. Before the divination results come out, I also have to do something... I plan to destroy Laplace Howard's strange ability to resurrect corpses. The power of those three liches should be weakened as a result, just like the third-generation siblings last night."

"How are you going to do it?"

Miss Bernice asked curiously, and Xia De shook his head:

"I'll do it myself. You don't need to intervene in this matter."

He was waiting for the priest's arrival tomorrow:

"In addition, pay attention to the movements of the 【Truth Society】. A few weeks ago, when Audrey and I went to investigate the 【Drowned Sect】, we knew that the 【Truth Society】 had also intervened in this matter, but they haven't appeared until now. This is very wrong."

"Speaking of the Truth Society, I have new news here."

Yiluna suddenly looked up:

"I also heard it in the Holy See. The original twelve-ring president of the Truth Society gave up the position to someone else. Yes, Xia De, Miss Pawo, who appeared in the 【Chosen One of Knowledge and Wisdom】 event."

"Wait, I have met her, and even cooperated with her for a period of time. I admit that the lady is indeed very interesting and special, but isn't she only a six-ring?"

Audrey asked, and this was also the first time Xia De knew that Audrey had actually had contact with Miss Pawo.

"She is already a seven-ring. The church doesn't know much either; this is something that just happened recently. However, according to the intelligence obtained by the spies of the Zalas Academy of Literature, it seems that the research presided over by Miss Pawo has made a huge breakthrough that is decisive for the 【Truth Society】, which is why she became the president. This was not the original twelve-ring's own idea. The Truth Society has strict selection standards internally, which is said to be as strict as the internal faculty personnel appointments and removals of the university."

Perhaps the change of president made the 【Truth Society】 temporarily unable to concentrate manpower to participate in the events here in Green Lake, but Xia De always felt it wouldn't be that simple. He had a very deep impression of Miss Pawo: calm, rational, and extremely wise. The other party was also a candidate for the Chosen One of Wisdom, but not the first candidate.

During the Battle of Pantanal, Xia De originally thought she would do something to seize the identity of the Chosen One, but the other party left immediately after accepting the light of enlightenment from the Chosen One ritual.

Thinking about it now, Miss Pawo's purpose from the beginning was very likely not the identity of the Chosen One, but that precious wisdom enlightenment. And if this is really the case, then from the perspective of Xia De, who knows the Chosen One best in this era, Miss Pawo's choice on the night of the Battle of Pantanal was really the wisest.

"Speaking of which, isn't the grandmother of the Green siblings mentioned by Xia De, Maria Edwards, the mother of Nicholas Green, floating in the Green Lake area after her soul returned to the island?"

Miss Sylvia said suddenly, and Xia De nodded:

"Yes... you mean, if we can find her, maybe we can learn more about that island?"

Yiluna immediately looked at Xia De. Both thought of Luweiya's special divination again. But adding the harvest from the demon hunt, there are only 4 special coins left now, and they shouldn't expect to get answers from Luweiya for everything they encounter.

Although divination and peeking into fate are useful, sometimes one shouldn't rely too much on such means.

"The Edwards might not be the point."

Yiluna said softly, carefully weighing her words:

"In my opinion, that ancient god of space—【Primal Crack】—itself represents the meaning of 'connection and fracture,' and itself has an imperfect imagery. Perhaps... incomplete absorption of the Edwards family is the way to make his power reach its peak."

The witches and Xia De looked at her together, which made Yiluna feel a bit embarrassed.

"That makes a lot of sense. Originally we only thought we had to absorb everyone, but hearing you say that... Yiluna, it seems we underestimated you before."

As Yiluna's teacher, Miss Miss Jia Lin Na rarely took the initiative to praise her. Other witches also nodded, thinking this idea was very good. Megan and Audrey expressed their gratitude to her, feeling again in their hearts that the Chosen One is worthy of being the Chosen One.

Yiluna was a bit embarrassed, but she didn't want to mess up the information about "If," so she had to pretend it was something she thought of herself. She looked up to meet Xia De's gaze, and seeing that Xia De also wanted to praise her, a strange sense of guilt arose in a corner of her heart. But thinking that everything she did was for the young man in front of her, she gave him a big smile.

Xia De didn't quite understand what Yiluna wanted to convey by smiling at him.

Besides the fact that the ritual could be held without absorbing all the Edwards, Yiluna also learned from the second game that there would be enemies such as evil objects, demons, undead, and giant dragons that would appear in the final battle. If they faced these powerful enemies unprepared, there would definitely be heavy losses. Just before Yiluna shared this information, Xia De told her the information he obtained from Mr. Nicholas Green about everyone in the Edwards family.

This information was obtained on Friday morning, and Yiluna hadn't arrived then, so she didn't know. Thus, Yiluna's information was outdated, but she was still very happy because Xia De was still Xia De after all.

In short, this brief meeting between the witches and Xia De and Yiluna could be considered as temporarily clarifying what everyone needed to do in the half-week before Grandma Cassandra and Miss Aurora arrived.

Time was becoming increasingly tight, and no one knew how far the fortune teller who had never stepped off the island in the middle of the lake had pushed the progress at this moment. According to Megan, perhaps she would receive an invitation to go to the island after she went to sleep tonight, so everyone had to speed up their own progress to welcome the decisive battle that might come at any time.

"I say Audrey, why don't you let Xia De sleep with you every day these days? That way it will be safe."

Miss Bernice even joked, making the witches laugh. Although Audrey and Megan were the ones being teased, she felt that the distance between herself and her colleagues in the council had narrowed.

After all, before her mental illness was cured as it is today, she basically wouldn't communicate privately with other witches besides the Speaker.

The four great witches still had to stay here to discuss strengthening the defense and small-scale renovation of the Green Lake Hotel. Xia De made an excuse to see Yiluna off, stood up, and came to the corridor with Yiluna.

The silence spell was held in Yiluna's hand, and Xia De nodded:

"Luweiya arrives on Monday."

"Okay. I also saw some new content of the poem fragments in the Holy See."

Yiluna lowered her voice and looked into Xia De's eyes:

"Those fragments are quite fragmented and do not constitute complete paragraphs. But the old priest responsible for organizing these told me that in the poem fragments of the 'Chosen One of Space,' the word 'butterfly' appeared many times."
