Chapter 1860

~10 min read 1,926 words

Luweiya stayed at the Green Lake Hotel that day and did not leave, while Yiluna returned to the local church after lunch, she still had many things to do.

The six great witches basically had nothing else to do locally at this time, so they stayed at the Green Lake Hotel to make various preparations for Wednesday's events.

Except for the meeting with Nadia Folen, Xia De had basically made all the preparations. Now the Edwards he hadn't seen were only the eldest son of the third generation who had space-time talent, and the two cultists of the fifth generation.

For Jarvis Edwards, who belonged to the 【Tyranny Club】, Xia De guessed that he probably wouldn't see him after the banquet on Wednesday night. Because in the afternoon, the witches received news that the Five Gods Church dispatched three thirteen-ringed Shushi and finally destroyed the only remaining stronghold of the 【Tyranny Club】 in the local area in one fell swoop.

Except for Jarvis Edwards being rescued by someone who appeared suddenly, the Ringed Shushi sent by the 【Tyranny Club】 to the local area were almost wiped out. A large amount of information about the conspiracy planned by the 【Tyranny Club】 during the Green Lake negotiations was exposed. After review, these materials would be sent to Delarion and Karsenrick as part of the cooperation between the church and the secular regime.

"The church's action this time is really fast."

But Xia De didn't care about the cultists who tried to start a war but unfortunately didn't succeed in any plan under the eyes of the church. He cared about who rescued Jarvis Edwards.

"Truth Society."

Xilisi was behind Miss Benanisi, helping her wipe her wet golden long hair with a towel. The two set off in the afternoon and went with Grandma Cassandra to solve the few remaining tasks on the witches' task list. When they returned in the rain just now, they happened to run into the battle between the church and the cultists outside the city.

This was not a coincidence, but the battle of the Ringed Shushi was too widespread. Miss Benanisi had a strong perception of the earth, and Grandma Cassandra, the oldest in the council, had amazing perception. So Miss Benanisi let Grandma Cassandra come back first, while she went to investigate the situation in the rain and ran into the whole process of the incident:

"If it is the Truth Society, the Sage-level relic they used when retreating is very famous. Moreover, the people who currently hold the thirteen keys have all appeared, only the keys in the hands of the Truth Society have not appeared. They can't keep holding the keys and not come to Green Lake, right?"

Miss Benanisi said, Xia De nodded:

"The Truth Society has a very strong purpose in doing anything. I don't know what experiment they want to do this time, or they just want Laplace Klein Howard's human alchemy and space-time research data... I don't know if Miss Pawo will come."

"I have some friendship with her. Although that woman is almost crazy about studying mathematics, she is still a reasonable person. If she really appears, I might be able to persuade her to help us. Their purpose does not necessarily conflict with ours."

Megan sat on a chair beside her and said, but when she met and cooperated with Miss Pawo, she was also in a stage of being a little crazy because of soul abnormalities. Therefore, it was really subtle for her to evaluate Miss Pawo as a "madman".

"Speaking of which, did something happen in the city? Half an hour ago, I heard guests eating on the first floor say that many people in the city ran to the Duin River to fish today. It's raining so hard now, is this weather suitable for fishing?"

Xia De looked out the window again. Little Mia was sleeping on the windowsill. The city outside a layer of glass was shrouded in violent rain. It is said that the rainfall will decrease tonight, otherwise, there will really be a risk of waterlogging in the city.

"I know this, I sent someone to inquire in the afternoon."

Xilisi, who was combing Miss Benanisi's hair, replied:

"Someone was fishing in the Duin River this morning and found an emerald in the fish's belly. Later, someone picked up gold coins on the bank of the Duin River, so rumors spread that the heavy rain washed away the ancient tombs upstream, causing the buried treasure to appear in the river section of the city. The people you mentioned are going to try their luck. I heard that many people plan to go upstream to see if they can find the source of those 'treasures'."

"What about in reality?"

Xia De asked again, very suspicious of how the cat on the windowsill fell asleep with such heavy rain outside.

"Probably a spatial connection, causing some treasure to fall into the river."

Audrey said, they didn't care about this:

"But it's just some ordinary wealth. If something really happens, the church will take care of it. Oh, when I went upstairs just now, Helena asked me to tell you that the homeless child John you arranged to live in the back kitchen last night ran out again today holding an umbrella and hugging his dog. He said this weather is most suitable for picking up trash."

"What homeless child?"

Miss Benanisi hadn't heard of this, so Xia De explained the matter of the trash boy living in the back alley and his puppy:

"I thought that when the Green Lake matter is over, I would arrange for the Green Lake Orphanage to adopt him, and Lei Qianya could help. Or arrange for him to go to the church to receive relief, stay in the church to join the choir in the future, and if he performs well and is pious when he grows up, he will become a local priest, or if he is willing to choose his own life, Yiluna can help with this."

"I didn't expect you to pay attention to this kind of thing... It's also okay to let him stay at the Green Lake Hotel to help, including food and lodging. Solon and Helena accept donations from Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals every year to maintain the operation of this hotel. It's no problem to let them help. Besides, this place is short of manpower. Since that child is familiar with the environment here, don't let him go to other places."

Audrey said casually, and then saw Miss Benanisi looking at her in surprise:

"You have really changed a lot."

"How did you see me before?"

"This... it's better not to say."

"That's all in the past, let's do the things at hand first. The Prophet Society divination said that the spatial instability in Green Lake and surrounding areas will cause bigger problems recently. I hope this place can hold on until Wednesday night. If the battle hasn't started yet, and Green Lake is gone first, that would be too ridiculous."

Outside the window, the scenery of the "Glass Blast Furnace" belonging to the City of Glass still existed on the horizon, and in the cloudy sky, fine cracks still existed after the moon disappeared and the sun rose.

The time to meet the cultists is 8:00 in the evening, so Xia De can enjoy dinner peacefully in the hotel. However, he didn't rest after dinner, but went to the cruise ship parked by Green Lake with Miss Sylvia and Luweiya. After meeting with Megan who set off one step earlier, the great witch wanted to help determine whether the small wooden boat summoned by Xia De had the ability to penetrate the spatial barrier, which was quite helpful for Wednesday's action.

The weather divined by the society was very accurate, and the rain in the evening became much smaller. While the carriage passed through the streets and alleys of the city, the gas street lamps on the side of the road also lit up one by one. The three people in the carriage discussed the test plan for a while. In addition to the three, Xia De also carried a butterfly-calling flute. If necessary, he could let Grace and Helen come to help.

It was just that the journey that shouldn't have had problems still went wrong halfway. The moving carriage suddenly stopped, and then the girl driving the carriage called the witch in the carriage:

"Miss, we may need to spend more time to reach the destination."

"What's going on?"

The three people in the carriage didn't notice any abnormality just now. When they pushed open the side window of the carriage at this time, they were shocked to see the "Glass Blast Furnace" standing not far away. This is not an illusion, but a real existence. Even the surrounding street scene is the street scene of Michaela Blast Furnace City.

"Powerful spatial perception!"

Xia De closed his eyes and soon got the conclusion:

"We are indeed in the city on the south bank of Green Lake."

"There is such a thing?"

Luweiya looked out, and then threw a coin to see the result:

"There is no way, we can only go back to the north. The border is so tense now, I'm afraid it will be troublesome for us to cross the border."

"It doesn't matter, illusion is fine. Just now it should be a short-term small-scale spatial connection. I bet that if the matter of the central island of Green Lake is not solved quickly, we will encounter more troublesome situations in the future."

The carriage could only change direction and set off again.

Because of such an accident, when the group reached Megan's cruise ship, they were twenty minutes late than the planned time. If they didn't appear again, Megan, who arrived early but couldn't wait for anyone, would even call the hotel for rescue.

Everyone could do nothing about this kind of thing, and could only test the boat according to the plan. As for Megan's cruise ship, this is the second stronghold of the Witch Council in the Green Lake area, which is convenient for transfer at any time if the Green Lake Hotel is lost.

When the witches discussed the plan this morning, they also discussed the idea of putting some Edwards on the cruise ship on Wednesday night to form two battlefields to divide the enemy. However, it has not been discussed how to do it specifically, but this time there is enough manpower, even if it is separated, there should be no big problem.

The cruise ship sailed into Green Lake. Under the moonlight, the bone powder in Xia De's hand at the edge of the deck fell into the water. With the sound of bubbling, the wet small boat floated up from under the water beside the cruise ship, causing water splashes to splash onto the hull of the cruise ship.

There was still a layer of accumulated water on the deck of the small wooden boat, as if the boat had been waiting here for Xia De, the owner, for a long time.

The first test was whether the boat could still be used when Xia De was not present.

This test was very simple. The first part was to let Xia De keep moving away to test whether the boat could still exist, and the second part was to let the witches and Luweiya board the boat separately to test whether it could be operated.
