Chapter 270: Teacher

After the four people sat around the bonfire, Xia De did not speak immediately, but took off his coat in front of the three women and covered his hand holding the Mia cat doll. Removing the coat, the small orange cat appeared, holding Xia De's arm.

The scarlet-gold bonfire illuminated Mia's orange and white fur. The pet cat that had come to the forest looked at the strange environment around it in panic, and then "meowed" at the three women by the bonfire as a threat.

The witches all smiled at the small orange cat. The charm of a cat was equally effective in the Fifth Era, but Little Mia only liked Xia De.

Xia De picked the cat that was holding his arm, put it on his shoulder, scratched its chin with his finger, and only then looked up at the three strangers.

They all wore gray robes of similar style, and the robes had hoods. The three women were all absolute beauties in Xia De's aesthetic, as charming as Miss Galina, and they didn't look very old. But their real age was definitely not their appearance age; high-level supernatural beings had many ways to maintain their youth:

"May I ask how I should address you?"

Xia De asked. Under the quiet giant tree, the firewood crackled, and in the firelight, everyone's face was a bit distorted.

"Moon Witch, Twelfth-Circle witch."

The witch on the right said without hesitation; this was the kind of person who was obviously very rigid and serious.

"Tree Witch, Twelfth-Circle witch."

The witch on the left thought for a while before saying, her voice very gentle.

"I am their teacher, Thirteenth-Circle witch; you can call me 'Teacher', I like this title. In addition, since you come from the future, let's not reveal each other's real names to prevent unnecessary trouble. We must revere time."

The witch in the middle said.

Xia De nodded. While the three were sizing him up, he was also sizing up the three:

"Is Thirteenth-Circle..."

"The limit of mortals, Teacher is the strongest witch."

The Moon Witch said.

"One of them."

"Teacher" said, looking at her student with golden eyes in reproach, and then asked Xia De:

"Then, person from the future, you came here and must have your own purpose. What do you want to do?"

"I came to assist you in completing the god-summoning ritual - contact 'Radiant Door'; someone asked me to do this."

The two young witches were puzzled, while "Teacher" frowned. The Old God 【Innocent Creator】 could see Xia De's appearance had something to do with the Old God at a glance, but the witches were just mortals; even if they were the strongest of the generation, they couldn't think of Old Gods:

"Can you only come here once?"

"Teacher" asked.

"Three times, this is the first time."

"I will give you a list; you return to your era and investigate the information about that god."

She seemed not to want to reveal too much information about herself and the preparation for the ritual, and didn't intend to share her ritual materials with Xia De. While Xia De was vigilant against them, they were also vigilant against Xia De.

The evidence was that they didn't ask Xia De the reason he could travel through time, and Xia De also didn't ask the reason they wanted to contact the Old God.

For Xia De, this was just something that had already happened. If the other party had no intention of generating further trust with him, he wouldn't waste time doing redundant things. After all, the time in the past was not absolutely safe either.

"I require you to give me a reward."

"Can do, what do you need?"

"Teacher" said.

"I am encountering danger, and after returning to my time, I must face a false god. And that false god and I have a grudge; I devoured... offended Him."

The three witches looked at him with strange eyes, and it was a long while before someone spoke:

"Wait a moment."

"Teacher" directed her two students to return to the tent again, and this time took out three books and handed them to Xia De.

The text was of course not the familiar Dlarion common language, but he could still understand it—

"Small Tips: Correct Response When Facing a Saint", "Witch Adventure Guide 3: Existence Chapter That Is Best Not to Provoke", "Mana Adventure Story Collection"

"Hmm... the last one is obviously a novel."

Xia De pointed out hesitantly.

"Yes, I wrote it, adapted from my real experience."

"Teacher" blinked and said. Xia De was shocked:

"You have also faced a false god?"

The witch smiled and nodded:

"Just faced a Saint, and the other party was not complete, and we also had the help of gods on this side. That time... Mr. from the future, I have encountered gods several times in my life, and have also traveled with Saints. Although this book is a novel, it is very helpful to you."

Xia De was very pleasantly surprised and wanted to flip through the book with his head lowered, but didn't expect the other party to say again:

"Of course, book knowledge is just knowledge. If you want to escape from the hands of a false god safely, or even save the people you want to save, you can tell me your current situation, your own power, and the relics you have mastered, and we will write a detailed plan for you."

Her tone was very soft, probably not deceiving Xia De, but Xia De was very hesitant. Although the time span was nearly five thousand years, he still didn't want to leak his information, especially about the divinity.

"You can tell me alone, and my two students will go to the side. If you still don't trust me, then I can tell you about myself as an exchange for me probing your secrets. I am very curious about the power form of the sorcerer system."

"This..."

The history books of St. Byron clearly stated that the witches of the Fifth Era were generally stronger than the sorcerers of the Sixth Era, with higher averages and higher ceilings. And the witch before him who had two Twelfth-Circle students and was herself a Thirteenth-Circle witch was obviously one of the strongest mortals in the two eras.

After all, a Thirteenth-Circle sorcerer might not be able to face a god, but the other party admitted she had done it.

Telling her about his wonder arts and relics was not a problem; what Xia De needed to consider was whether he should tell her about the divinity, so that the other party could formulate a more detailed plan.

His eyes looked at the book in his hand, and the firelight of the bonfire illuminated the entire cover of the novel "Mana Adventure Story Collection." Xia De stroked the cat with his left hand, his eyes scanning the text on the cover unconsciously, his expression froze, and he suddenly understood why he thought this Thirteenth-Circle witch was familiar.

His expression became stiff, and then he raised his head, the firelight illuminating his surprised expression:

"You are..."

He pointed to the name of the author written on that book, somewhat incoherent.

"Teacher" looked at the book cover suspiciously, frowning her beautiful brows:

"Yes, oh, my name is here. You know me? I couldn't have left descendants, and you don't look like a descendant of the Felianna family. So, is it that I myself am very famous later? Or is my student very famous?"

The young witches laughed embarrassedly, but they also seemed to care about the answer.

"You are really Mana..."

Xia De, sitting by the bonfire, really didn't know what to say.

"Teacher" looked at his strange expression, her golden hair scattered behind her head, but with extraordinary beauty. She nodded, the firelight illuminating her face, and the giant tree's branches and leaves swayed with the night wind. Her soft long hair fluttered behind her, and her golden eyes looked at Xia De. She said softly:

"Yes, my name is Mana Felianna."
