Chapter 1859: [Hide-and-Seek Wardrobe]
Now, there are less than sixty hours until Wednesday night, the time of the Edwards family banquet written on the invitation. Even if it is still pouring rain outside, no one can stop to rest.
The good news is that the drainage system of Green Lake City, which is near the lake, is quite good. Even though the city is old, the ancient sewer system still plays a quite excellent role. That morning, the six great witches gathered at the Green Lake Hotel to discuss the plan for Wednesday night with Xia De, Iluna, and Luvia.
They not only brought the items corresponding to the Old God's power prepared for Lu Se and Last Edwards, but also handed the letter from the 【Dragon Feast Sect】 to Xia De.
The meeting time for the cultists to meet the "God-Awakener" is 9:00 sharp tonight. If it rains, the location is the Dog Bark Tavern in Black Dog Alley in the slums in the southeast of Green Lake City. If it doesn't rain tonight, the location is the first floor of the Railway Station Hotel northeast of the Michaela Blast Furnace City railway station.
When meeting, the representative of the 【Dragon Feast Sect】 will have a silver dragon-head brooch on their chest, while the "God-Awakener" needs to appear wearing both gold and silver rings.
"According to divination, although this rain will not be this heavy all the time, it will last at least until the weekend. This is not ordinary rain; it is caused by the abnormal spatial phenomenon caused by the spatial rift. So, it will definitely rain tonight."
Luvia, as a diviner, said after learning the contents of the letter, and the witches asked Xia De if he needed others to accompany him to meet the cultists.
"No need, I'll go by myself."
The city-wide blockade that had been in place since yesterday afternoon was lifted in the early hours of today. On this rainy Monday, the citizens in the city silently continued their lives, but everyone could smell this atmosphere that was even more terrifying than during the negotiations.
Delarion and Kasonike both publicly condemned the assassination behavior that occurred on Sunday on the front page headlines of Monday's newspapers and expressed their respective opinions on the conflict that broke out on the border between the two countries yesterday.
It takes two or three days for both sides to return to the capital by steam train. During this period, it just happens to complete the Battle of Audrey, and after the space stabilizes, let Miss Silvia open a portal to send everyone back.
The Duchess was aggressive, but Green Lake said with a smile:
Miss Min Yan Na also said, Miss Jia Lin Na nodded, pressed the cat that wanted to dash into the wardrobe on her shoulder, and took two steps back to look at it. If this wardrobe could be smaller, that would be perfect. But the size, magnitude, and appearance of relics have always been difficult to change; this is the basic rule of those items attached with whispering elements. Otherwise, Miss Jia Lin Na would have long ago found a way to shrink 【Night Watchman】 so it could be carried at any time.
"Testing like this is more accurate. You see, Miss Jia Lin Na really didn't find it."
Green Lake pulled open the automatically closing cabinet door again, letting Min Yan see that there was nothing in it now:
"Miss Jia Lin Na, did you notice something wrong just now?"
There were no scratch marks on the inner wall of the cabinet, but there were sentences written as if with a fountain pen that could not be erased on the top:
And after this kiss ended, Min Yan Hui smiled and explained the reason:
Dark clouds hung over the Audrey area. Although the council's great witches would not come to Audrey City immediately due to the unanimous disapproval of the witches, the council still attached great importance to the safety of Megan and Green Lake. Knowledge information, spellcasting materials, potions, alchemical items, and even relics, the great witch of time opened the council's collection to the three witches in Audrey City.
"All methods must be tried. You can avoid sight by turning into a stone statue, so hiding after turning into a stone statue makes it even safer. Whether I can carry this wardrobe is hard to say for now, but trying it is definitely no problem."
Lei Lei Qianya stayed because Miss Jia Lin Na was worried that she would come back even if she left, and A Jieli Na stayed because Miss Min Yan Na wanted her to see the world and understand what she would face once she became a witch apprentice before she truly awakened.
"Secret Keeper-level relic - 【Hide-and-Seek Wardrobe】. Open it, then hide inside. The person inside can look out through the door crack of the wardrobe and can also hear the sounds outside. And it is difficult for people outside to notice that there is someone in the cabinet. At the same time, the cabinet itself has the effect of your Ringed Ringed Shushi of turning into an angel statue, making it difficult to attract others' attention."
"I am finally going to be free, no longer having to attend those meaningless meetings every day."
Miss Jia Lin Na thought for a while:
The red-haired Duchess crossed her arms in front of her chest and said, although she was a little angry at Min Yan Hui's behavior just now, she didn't care about such small jokes:
And what surprised him even more was that Miss Xia De Na was obviously in the cabinet just now, but he didn't notice it at all, and even the heat of the badge on his chest only increased after the cabinet was opened.
"I highly suspect whether there is still a grudge spirit attached to this... Green Lake, do you mean for me to hide in here at that time, and then follow you to the island? But isn't this wardrobe too big?"
"Min Yan Hui, I only remember you saying to let me hide inside, and then let Miss Jia Lin Na come over to test whether it could be discovered. I don't remember you letting me watch you kiss inside."
The Duchess was quite happy about this, but she wouldn't really leave. Not only would she stay secretly, but a group of male servants including Miss Difa, Lei Lei Qianya, and even A Jieli Na would all stay.
Similarly, although Margaret would nominally return to Wilndale City with the negotiating delegation, she would actually stay with Miss Silvia and Miss Benanisi to participate in the Battle of Audrey as an official witch apprentice.
Green Lake said, and then Miss Jia Lin Na heard a sound from the wall of the basement. Then, a cabinet standing against the wall opened, and Miss Xia De Na walked out of it.
Miss Jia Lin Na asked the witch beside him again, and Green Lake shook her head:
"Although it is only Secret Keeper-level, this is a top-tier concealment relic. Although you cannot cast spells in any way while hiding in the cabinet, and you are not allowed to interfere with the outside world in any way, you can only see and hear, and the cabinet has no defensive power, but apart from that, there are almost no shortcomings."
"Sure enough, it was very successful."
The ghostly light of the ritual operation made the basement not dim at all. Compared with when it stored vegetables and food in the past, the area of the basement now seemed to have become larger. Green Lake let the girls guarding the ritual core leave temporarily. Miss Jia Lin Na was curious about what she wanted to say, but didn't expect Green Lake to turn around and hug and kiss him.
He asked casually again, and Green Lake, who knew more about this relic, thought for a while:
"We have prepared three relics with similar functions, and the other two are still on the way. They will arrive tonight or tomorrow morning. Don't underestimate the foundation of the council, Miss Jia Lin Na, the council is definitely more powerful than you think."
"Do these relics all have such strange origin stories?"
"Um... what exactly do you mean... are you actually someone else in disguise?"
For the city and ordinary people, they don't understand why all this is happening, only feeling that the atmosphere of the city is more terrifying and oppressive. At lunch, Miss Jia Lin Na also discussed the news in this morning's newspaper with the witches at the dining table, as well as the military actions in the Audrey area heard from various aspects.
Thus, some interesting and potentially useful relics were also sent to the Min Yan Hui Hotel that day.
Although the two countries made slow progress on the negotiation issue, they acted quickly on the issue of the negotiators withdrawing from the Audrey area. When Miss Xia De Na arrived in the rain with Miss Difa this morning, she said that their luggage had already been packed, and they would leave by train tomorrow morning to return to Tobeisike.
Saying that, without giving the Duchess a chance to continue complaining, she took Miss Jia Lin Na's hand and introduced the cabinet:
The cabinet looked like a wooden wardrobe, standing there without any attraction at all. Miss Jia Lin Na didn't even notice that there was this piece of furniture there until the Duchess appeared. Only when he noticed this wardrobe did a strange feeling immediately appear. In Miss Jia Lin Na's view, even if this kind of cabinet was opened, it wouldn't be surprising if an evil spirit rushed out. This thing was simply something that would only appear in horror novels.
Miss Jia Lin Na didn't quite understand why she suddenly pulled him here, whether she had something on her mind again, but he still responded to the enthusiastic girl.
After lunch, Miss Jia Lin Na had just finished reading the secret letter from the 【Dragon Feast Sect】, and Min Yan Hui smiled and took Miss Jia Lin Na's hand to the basement:
Of course, this is the best-case scenario. But if the situation of the Battle of Audrey is not ideal... the great witches naturally have their own different plans.
Now the armies of both countries are gathering towards the Audrey area, and at the same time, the royal families of both countries have publicly stated that they will temporarily recall the negotiating delegation to protect the safety of the negotiators.
"Come with me, there is an important thing to do, related to the council's arrangements."
Miss Jia Lin Na's mouth twitched:
"This wardrobe can only be used for eavesdropping and peeping, so even if it is used, there is no danger to us. As for discovering it, it is simple. For Ringed Ringed Shushi who know this relic, as long as they concentrate and don't get distracted, and come into contact with it a few more times, they will gradually be able to resist its effect to a certain extent. After all, it is only Secret Keeper-level."
【The world is very chaotic, stay and hide with me.】
"Is there any way to deal with it? I mean, if someone uses this relic to deal with us, how should we discover this wardrobe?"
"Don't forget the negative characteristic. Once the cabinet is opened, it will actively attract people to crawl in and then close the door. And while hiding in the cabinet, one will involuntarily have the thought that 'it is very dangerous outside, just hide in here, absolutely don't go out'."
Although the current troop mobilization is to cover up the many actions of the church that follow, no one can guarantee that the two countries can really be peaceful. After all, the negotiations ended temporarily without being completed. Even if Delarion and Kasonike will definitely not take any action before Saturday, once the Audrey incident ends and the church no longer interferes in the affairs of the two countries, the things that follow are really hard to say.
"This is a relic contained by the council, said to be a creation from the Seventh Era. One day, a child playing hide-and-seek hid in an old wardrobe that had been abandoned for a long time and fell asleep, and the servant accidentally blocked the door of the wardrobe with debris. When people opened the wardrobe again in the basement, the child inside had already turned into a mummy."
PS: Remember that wardrobe... laugh.
